Chapter 2474: Information Advantage

Ye Liuyun's weakness in the Holy Land Dynasty is that he does not control the information channels.

This is completely different from when he previously controlled Forward Outpost Island and Watchtower Island.

Previously he could control public opinion, influence opponents, and gain popular support.

Now, however, the Holy Land Dynasty has the final say.

Thus, the news of the Holy Land Dynasty's alliance with Ye Liuyun spread quickly.

In the propaganda, the Holy Land Dynasty also lavished praise on Ye Liuyun, unexpectedly elevating him greatly, which filled the Holy Land's people with hope for Ye Liuyun.

After hearing the news, Ye Liuyun also smiled helplessly: "The higher they lift you, the harder you fall."

"Is the Holy Land Dynasty playing this trick on me because they think I care about their people's opinion?"

Actually, after he absorbed Forward Outpost Island and Watchtower Island into his Space World, he felt that whether or not to ally was no longer that important.

His own world and its people are already safe.

If people from other worlds are willing to cooperate, he is certainly willing to help.

But if it is the Holy Land Dynasty, which is purposeful and constantly playing tricks, Ye Liuyun will not foolishly fawn over them; instead, he will consider more how to benefit his own world.

Therefore, he paid no attention to Xiao Muhong's move.

As for this, Xiao Qiwu of Black Kill also harbored doubts.

"According to Ye Liuyun's ruthless daring in striking, he seems not to care about the Holy Land people's opinion."

Xiao Qiwu naturally knows the Holy Land Dynasty intends to act against Ye Liuyun, but he also doubts whether this approach will work.

However, in their impression, it is Ye Liuyun who insists on allying with them, so they also believe they will eventually consume Ye Liuyun.

It's just a matter of what means will be used in the end and who will benefit.

Black Kill actually sent two elders to set up an ambush near the meeting point of Ye Liuyun and Xiao Muhong, preparing to sabotage this talk, kill one side, and increase the misunderstanding between them.

But when the Nine-Headed Magic Dragon appeared, Xiao Muhong also had over fifty strong warriors beside him, so they lacked the strength to act against either side, and thus did not intervene.

"Is Ye Liuyun's strength growing stronger, or did he originally possess this much strength?"

Xiao Qiwu also began to ponder.

He felt that ordinary methods would no longer be effective against Ye Liuyun.

Although the Holy Land Dynasty's Secret Realm trap failed, it gave him a warning.

But how to get Ye Liuyun to enter the Secret Realm became a problem.

Xiao Qiwu decided to use his brains more in this regard and deal with Ye Liuyun using different methods from the Holy Land Dynasty.

You Ming, upon hearing the news of Ye Liuyun's cooperation with the Holy Land Dynasty, also couldn't help but ask Ye Liuyun.

"Have you cooperated with the Holy Land Dynasty?"

She is also an opponent of the Holy Land Dynasty, and naturally does not want Ye Liuyun to cooperate with them.

"That is all just the Holy Land Dynasty's own propaganda.

We haven't discussed anything; we merely met and got to know each other.

They provide no resources, just want me to fight to the death, then, after I've fought enough, eliminate me.

How could I fall for that!"

Ye Liuyun replied.

"Then they still announced that we had reached an agreement?"

You Ming asked, puzzled.

"They know I won't send troops when the time comes; they just want the Holy Land's people to be disappointed in me, to make me the target of myriad blame!"

Ye Liuyun explained.

Upon hearing this, You Ming couldn't help but worry for Ye Liuyun: "Ah?

"I've long heard that Xiao Muhong is deep‑minded; I didn't expect her to be so vicious! By then, all the Holy Land people will be dissatisfied with you!"

Ye Liuyun, however, laughed: "It doesn't matter; I never cared anyway! Just watch—they keep setting traps for me, and there will be a day they regret it.

In the future, they will pay a higher price to seek me!"

"I still hope you can help the Holy Land people when the time comes!"

You Ming also worries that Ye Liuyun does not care about the life or death of the Holy Land people.

"It's still the same saying—look at their attitude! Resisting the Foreign Tribe should be our shared goal, but they fail to see it, and I can't do anything about it."

Ye Liuyun also didn't want to continue talking with You Ming, not wanting to be morally bound by her.

"Oh, all right! Then take care!"

You Ming also sensed Ye Liuyun was a bit displeased, so she immediately ended the topic.

Ye Liuyun then promptly gathered everyone to study the next steps.

"I think we should continue strengthening the Divine Master Alliance's strength."

Tong Xin first proposed: "Although equipment is now quite sufficient and we have some reserves,

but these quantities are still insufficient when a major war occurs."

Tong Xin and Qiong Qi have already begun organizing some artifact refiners to divide labor.

Different artifact refiners craft different components, then assign people to assemble them, and then different formation masters inscribe different formations.

This division of labor has greatly improved efficiency and also solved their shortage of Divine Masters.

But as the army's numbers increase, these people's numbers are still far from enough.

After a battle, much of the soldiers' armor, weapons, and equipment need to be replaced.

Ye Liuyun also thought it over; other aspects are indeed fine, so it would be better to take this opportunity to capture more Divine Masters.

The Divine Master Alliance is a feature of his Space World; the Holy Land Dynasty has not carried out unification.

However, in recent years the Holy Land Dynasty, preparing to deal with the Foreign Tribe, has undertaken mobilization, concentrating formation masters, artifact refiners, and alchemists to a certain extent.

He established bases in three major cities not far from the Holy Land Royal City.

Thus Ye Liuyun and his clone each changed their appearance and went to apply for positions as weapon refiners and alchemists.

His weapon-refining technique was far inferior to his alchemy; even his alchemy was considerably lacking compared to the Holy Land's alchemists.

But because his fire attribute was exceptionally strong, he was very popular among alchemists and weapon refiners, who all wanted him to help refine medicinal implements, and he was easily hired.

As for the Formation Master, the original plan was to let Qiong Qi infiltrate.

But after he was previously controlled by someone, he felt a bit guilty, so Ye Liuyun had to think of another way.

Just then, Xiao Muhong contacted him via a transmission talisman, asking if he had begun preparations.

Ye Liuyun then took the opportunity to say that after his equipment was refined, he still lacked a Formation Master to inscribe formations, but due to insufficient manpower, much of the equipment could not yet be distributed to the army.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Muhong thought it was an opportunity for his Formation Master to learn about Ye Liuyun's equipment, and he proactively offered to provide a Formation Master.

But he had to guarantee that the Formation Master would remain in the Holy Land Dynasty.

Ye Liuyun understood his intention, but still pretended not to know, continuing to discuss terms: "That also requires guaranteeing the safety of our equipment."

"You find me a place, I will establish a base protected by the army, then you will station the Formation Master there, and under our supervision they will inscribe the formation."

"Finally, our people will conduct the inspection."

Both sides held their own objectives, bargaining for a while, before finally confirming that the Holy Land Dynasty would send two hundred Formation Masters to Ye Liuyun's temporarily established base to help inscribe the formations.
