Chapter 2529: Must Take the Bait

After Mu Xi's Altar was activated, it had already sent over enough strong ones.

In fact, they could now let these strong ones strike everywhere, exterminating the Holy Land Dynasty's humans.

But they didn't rush to act, hoping to lure Ye Liuyun.

Instead, they kept using Formation to seal the cities they occupied, and sent the Martial Cultivators they controlled to spread to neighboring cities, expanding outward step by step.

At the same time they began using the Altar to transmit the Foreign Tribe's army.

The transmitted army temporarily hid in the mountains behind the mountain city, masking its presence with Formation.

Hundreds of thousands of troops were transmitted in succession, and soon even the Formation couldn't block the evil aura here.

Some Martial Cultivators occasionally discovered it, but they were all chased down and killed by the Foreign Tribe.

The Human Martial Cultivators sent by the Foreign Tribe kept causing trouble in other cities, eventually provoking the local Marquis' residence to impatiently send experts to deal with them, but those sent were all captured together, delivered to the Foreign Tribe, and then polluted and controlled by them.

Later, the local Marquis' residence sent troops again, but they were repelled by those Martial Cultivator strongmen.

It was only then that the local Marquis' residence reported to the Royal Mansion.

To show support, the Royal Mansion immediately dispatched a hundred thousand troops to crush the rebellion.

During the battle against those Martial Cultivators bearing Foreign Tribe aura, someone in the army noticed a clue.

After receiving the information, the Royal Mansion promptly sent some experts to covertly investigate.

As a result, most of the experts were killed or captured.

But some still relayed the news back, confirming that the Foreign Tribe was behind it.

The Royal Mansion immediately forwarded the message to Xiao Muan.

Xiao Muan sent a large number of swift swallows to scout the area; when the Foreign Tribe's army realized it could no longer hide, it revealed itself.

That caused the entire Holy Land to fall into chaos again.

Xiao Muan simultaneously sent people to scout the cities occupied by the Foreign Tribe and redeployed the million-strong guard force of the Royal City there, sealing off all routes the Foreign Tribe might use to strike.

But he didn't expect that the Foreign Tribe's multi-million army would suddenly launch an attack; with the aid of their strong ones, his million troops were almost wiped out as soon as they arrived.

Moreover, most soldiers became Corpse Demons controlled by the Foreign Tribe, scattering everywhere to cause mayhem, and a trend of unstoppable resistance was emerging.

The experts Xiao Muan sent to scout the city also never returned; they either turned into Corpse Demons or were tainted by the Foreign Tribe's aura, becoming the Tribe's accomplices.

Xiao Muan also realized the situation had become serious.

He immediately issued an emergency mobilization order, emulating Ye Liuyun's previous method against the Foreign Tribe, concentrating Martial Cultivators and Liu Kui's army to continue blocking the Foreign Tribe.

What he didn't expect was that this blockade ended up delivering heads to the Foreign Tribe.

The Foreign Tribe's strong ones struck one after another; even Three-Eyed Foreign Tribe and those with especially powerful Spatial Power appeared, turning many Martial Cultivators and soldiers into Corpse Demons, causing an epidemic of Corpse Demons that could not be stopped and spread rapidly.

Moreover, these Corpse Demons were all relatively strong Martial Cultivators, making them even harder to control.

Nevertheless, Xiao Muan still did not contact Ye Liuyun, choosing to continue relying on his own strength against the Foreign Tribe.

He felt that after finally gaining freedom, asking Ye Liuyun for help would be like cutting off Ye Liuyun's head again, effectively admitting his own incompetence.

Originally, his attempt to break free from Ye Liuyun's control was already a move to sever ties with Ye Liuyun, without any intention of needing Ye Liuyun's aid again.

So he promptly issued another notice, gathering Martial Cultivators at several locations far from the front line.

His method was not wrong, but this time his opponents had become stronger.

Moreover, human traitors were mixed among them.

The Foreign Tribe learned of his announcement; as soon as the Martial Cultivators gathered, they were ambushed by the Tribe's strong ones and once again were slaughtered into disarray.

Furthermore, many Martial Cultivators were turned into Corpse Demons by the Foreign Tribe, spreading instantly over a wide area, making containment now difficult.

Helpless, Xiao Muan immediately ordered each city to seal its gates and hold firm, preventing the Foreign Tribe from breaching, and first focused on clearing the Martial Cultivators polluted by the Tribe.

It was Mo Tianheng, Mo Shaowen and others who realized the danger and promptly informed Ye Liuyun.

After hearing Mo Tianheng's account, Ye Liuyun was also greatly shocked.

"Corpse Demons spreading this fast?

And they're all quite strong?

Doesn't that mean the Foreign Tribe's strength is greater this time?"

"Indeed.

It is said that Three-Eyed Foreign Tribe and exceptionally strong Spatial Power beings have appeared.

And there are many Gold-armored Alien Tribe and Silver-armored Alien Tribe."

Mo Tianheng replied.

"We have captured a few Foreign Tribe soldiers, and according to them, this offensive was launched under the command of a Gold-armored Elder named Mu Xi, and they have already established an Altar here."

Mo Shaowen and Liu Yang also told Ye Liuyun.

"Mu Xi?

Where did Mu Xi run off to?

That's not right; given Mu Xi's strength, he could have wiped out the Holy Land outright!"

Ye Liuyun was somewhat puzzled.

"Is Mu Xi really that strong?"

Mo Shaowen was somewhat surprised

Mo Tianheng then asked, "Do you know this person Mu Xi?"

So Ye Liuyun recounted the incident of capturing Mu Sai and deceiving Mu Xi's resources.

"Then I guess he wanted to lure you here, setting a trap for you to bite the hook."

Mo Tianheng speculated.

"Yes.

But I still have to take this hook!"

Ye Liuyun immediately asked for Mo Tianheng's coordinates and directly used the Black Tower to teleport back to the Sacred Land.

He gathered Mo Shaowen, Liu Yang, Liang Bin and others together.

"Xiao Muan hasn't asked you for aid?"

Mo Tianheng and the others asked Ye Liuyun.

"Not yet.

I guess he's too ashamed to ask me for aid! But when he's completely out of options, he'll still come to me."

Ye Liuyun said.

"Then what shall we do now?"

Mo Shaowen asked Ye Liuyun.

"First we go kill some Human traitors; without these people colluding with the Foreign Tribe, dealing with the Foreign Tribe will be much easier.

Otherwise, as long as those people remain, there's no way to eradicate the Foreign Tribe."

After Ye Liuyun finished speaking, he immediately led them toward the battlefield to locate nearby Human Martial Cultivators contaminated by the Foreign Tribe.

His approach turned out to be the same as what Xiao Muan had in mind.

However, Xiao Muan's strength was insufficient; the people he sent were at a disadvantage, so merely holding a stalemate with those people was good, while trying to annihilate them was very difficult.

Ye Liuyun, on the other hand, changed his appearance, released Illusion Hand, Shadow, Black Tortoise and others, and covertly eliminated those people.

With Ye Liuyun present, any traitor he sets his eyes on can hardly escape.

However, the number also exceeded Ye Liuyun's expectations.

The number of people contaminated by the Foreign Tribe includes not only those brought by Mu Xi and other members of the Foreign Tribe, but also many captured later, so cleaning them up cannot be completely eliminated in a short time.

But Ye Liuyun was also operating covertly, so the Foreign Tribe did not notice his return; they merely allowed the Corpse Demon to expand, waiting for Ye Liuyun to appear, and were not in a hurry to launch an attack with the Foreign Tribe's army.
