Chapter 2494: Net‑Casting Search

After subduing this strongman, Ye Liuyun said to Mo Sha, "You should come with me! Everyone else is dead, if you go back alone you'll surely be suspected!"

"Yes!"

Mo Sha was actually worrying about this issue.

This turned out to be a relief.

Ye Liuyun recalled them all to the Space World, then released the nine-headed demon dragon, which flew straight into Xingkong.

He also recalled that Hawk squadron.

Then he rode the nine-headed demon dragon and flew around the Holy Land.

Whenever he encountered Mi Lin mountains below, he would stop and look down, searching for signs of the Foreign Tribe.

The Holy Land Dynasty, in Xingkong, also deployed many Flying Swallow patrol units.

But Liu Kui had already informed those units not to block Ye Liuyun.

After returning, Xiao Muan transmitted the news that the Foreign Tribe had entered the Holy Land.

So Liu Kui knew Ye Liuyun was searching for the Foreign Tribe and naturally would not impede him.

Xiao Muan also, following Ye Liuyun's instructions, informed Liu Kui to arrange Flying Swallows to patrol around the Holy Land to prevent escaped Foreign Tribe members like Wan Teng from returning to the Holy Land Dynasty.

However, Ye Liuyun's method required the Foreign Tribe to have an Altar on the ground, or to be active outdoors at a moment when Ye Liuyun could spot them.

Regrettably, after spending considerable time circling the Holy Land, Ye Liuyun still found no trace of the Foreign Tribe.

With no other choice, Ye Liuyun went straight to Satellite Island and sought out Liu Kui.

He could now only discuss the situation with Liu Kui to see if any clues about Wan Teng and others' escape could be found, perhaps they hadn't fled to the Holy Land yet.

"Young Master Ye!"

Liu Kui was also very courteous to Ye Liuyun.

"I would like to speak with Leader Liu to understand the Foreign Tribe's escape situation at that time."

Ye Liuyun asked him.

Liu Kui also recognized the seriousness and immediately began recounting to Ye Liuyun: "At that time, the Flying Swallows of both our armies had been almost exhausted.

Those Foreign Tribe strongmen had been focusing their attacks on our Flying Swallows.

I only now understand their intention.

Then, just as our entire force made the final charge to eradicate the Foreign Tribe, their golden‑armored Leader and two other Foreign Tribe strongmen released a Flying Swallow and fled directly.

I immediately mobilized all Flying Swallows to pursue them.

At that moment we still had about two or three hundred left.

However, due to a time lag, we never caught up with them.

I let the Flying Swallows chase them for over three months; they kept fleeing.

In the end, unable to catch them, I ordered our people to return."

"Have all your Flying Swallows returned?"

Ye Liuyun pressed further.

"Not yet, but they're close; there's only a day or two left!"

Liu Kui replied.

"I hope it's still in time! I think they might be trailing behind your Flying Swallows.

I'll send a Hawk to look for them; as long as your Flying Swallows return normally, that's fine!

But are you sure only three strongmen left?

I remember that after I took away one of their Warships, they should still have more than eighty strongmen left."

Upon hearing this, Liu Kui gathered all the Leaders who had participated in the battle to discuss the count together.

They finally concluded that the numbers differed by more than twenty.

Liu Kui broke out in a cold sweat at that moment, never expecting so many had fled.

"That means more than three of them escaped! And it wasn't necessarily at that moment; they may have left earlier!"

Ye Liuyun felt somewhat discouraged by this result.

However, before departing, he gave Liu Kui a suggestion: to order soldiers with ferocious beasts to search secluded spots for the Foreign Tribe's whereabouts, while using Flying Swallows for surveillance.

He also advised keeping an eye on remote mountain villages; if anyone suddenly disappears, a strict investigation is required.

He also reminded Liu Kui that the Foreign Tribe might have bases in multiple locations; even if one is found, the search must continue.

Finally, Ye Liuyun gave Liu Kui a Transmission Talisman for easy contact.

So that whenever he gets any news, even just a suspicious hint, he should inform him.

Liu Kui agreed, then promptly reported the outcome to the Holy King and applied to commence a search.

Ye Liuyun released the nine-headed demon dragon again, and also unleashed five thousand Hawks, scattering them to sweep forward like a net in search.

A day later, Ye Liuyun encountered the returning Flying Swallow squadron.

This unit had already received Liu Kui's notice, so they did not clash with Ye Liuyun's Hawks and passed each other.

Ye Liuyun scanned with his Golden Pupil, found they were all human soldiers, and then let them pass.

"All units accelerate! Report any Flying Swallow sightings immediately; unauthorized combat is prohibited!"

Ye Liuyun also recalled the nine-headed demon dragon, switched to Hawks, and surged forward first.

In the following two days, he found nothing.

And on the third day, his Golden Pupil spotted a Flying Swallow.

Moreover, the insignia on the Flying Swallow was exactly the Foreign Tribe's emblem.

"Maintain formation, reduce speed, I'll handle the combat!"

Ye Liuyun immediately pursued that Flying Swallow.

The other Hawks immediately slowed down, watching Ye Liuyun charge forward into the fight.

One Hawk versus one Flying Swallow was a very easy match.

When that Flying Swallow spotted Ye Liuyun, it instantly veered to the side.

Ye Liuyun chased for a little while and caught up, and a barrage of Energy Cannon blasts broke through its defenses.

A Foreign Tribe Martial Cultivator escaped from within and tried to attack Ye Liuyun's Hawk.

Ye Liuyun immediately recalled the Hawk, and together with his clone struck, directly placing a Slave Seal on it to learn information about the others.

After he retrieved the information, he promptly contacted Liu Kui: "I've captured a living Foreign Tribe.

The information obtained so far is that ten Foreign Tribes fled to the holy land shortly after the war broke out.

Another seven Foreign Tribes are trailing behind your Flying Swallow fleet.

Leave those to me to chase; you go search for the Foreign Tribes that have infiltrated the holy land!"

"Ten have already slipped in?"

Hearing this, Liu Kui was also shocked and immediately reported to the Holy King.

Ye Liuyun promptly piloted his Hawk back to the squadron, leading the fleet to continue at full speed to pursue the Foreign Tribes.

Wan Teng and six other Foreign Tribes were two days apart from the one Ye Liuyun captured; they were originally sent out to scout.

Before this Foreign Tribe was captured by Ye Liuyun, it had already sent the news back.

So now Wan Teng immediately turned his group of other Foreign Tribes and fled.

Even the Hawk, though fast, still took nearly four days to catch up with them.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil has already spotted two Flying Swallows belonging to the Foreign Tribe, one of which is Gold‑armored Alien Tribe Wan Teng.

However, Wan Teng left another Flying Swallow behind, trying to delay Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun thought it over and still ordered the fleet to slow down, taking the action himself.

Because he does not know whether there are hidden people within this Foreign Tribe's Space World.

If he lets other Hawks attack and they are captured and taken back to the Foreign Tribe, the tribe could possibly replicate them.

Therefore, to be safe, he also gathered all the Hawks together to prevent a surprise attack from Wan Teng's forces.
