Chapter 2561: Determined to Die
After Sang Han and the others left, Ye Liuyun also pulled Wu Qingcheng and the others into the Space World, donned the Invisibility Cloak, and monitored the Foreign Tribe from afar so that the situation wouldn't change.
Ye Liuyun not only let Sang Han go, but also handed over the few disciples he was leading, as well as the disciple Ye Liuyun had previously captured, to Sang Han.
Sang Han felt that Ye Liuyun's actions didn't seem to plot anything against them.
Moreover, since Ye Liuyun captured them, he hasn't plundered their belongings, not even inspected their Storage Rings.
So before they could even approach the Foreign Tribe stronghold, Sang Han asked the disciple who had first followed Cui Xinghe about what had happened.
That disciple recounted the facts in full detail.
"Is everything you said true?
Aren't you saying it under their control?"
Sang Da pressured the disciple, saying.
"I dare not speak falsehoods; every word is true, otherwise my cultivation realm could never advance for a lifetime…" The disciple also swore an oath, affirming he had not lied.
At this moment, another disciple beside Sang Han said to him: "Cui Xinghe's reputation was never great; he often relied on his Holy Son status to flirt and cause trouble.
In the Tianhong World, everyone respects the banner of our Shengyuan Academy, and no one dares to provoke him.
Now, in front of outsiders, naturally no one tolerates his faults anymore."
That disciple voiced his grievance because he had been entangled with Cui Xinghe.
Sang Han, recalling the appearances of Wu Qingcheng and the other women, understood.
"Alas!"
Sang Han slapped his thigh and shouted, "That damn Cui Xinghe, who should be cut to pieces, has harmed so many of us!"
He then slapped himself twice, startling the other disciples: "It's all my fault! If we had listened to their explanation back then, so many wouldn't have died in vain!"
At that time he also led over two hundred Martial Cultivators; had those cultivators been used against the Foreign Tribe, they would have been far more effective, but now they all died in vain!
What's more infuriating is that the few of them who remained were all under someone's control.
So now he regrets deeply, slapping himself twice.
"I am suffering the consequences of my own actions! Unfortunately I have implicated you all!"
Sang Han sighed.
"Enough, Director Sang, things have turned out this way; regretting further is useless.
When we finally fight the Foreign Tribe, we'll kill as many of them as possible and die on the battlefield; that will uphold the academy's reputation!"
Another disciple also urged Sang Han.
"Indeed! Your idea is good; a death battle with the Foreign Tribe is better than being used as a slave by others!"
Sang Han heard this and fully agreed.
Thus these people, with a resolve to die, went to scout the Foreign Tribe's situation.
They also refrained from acting impulsively in advance, lest they alert the Foreign Tribe and jeopardize the academy's plan.
They simply kept watching the Foreign Tribe from afar, maintaining contact with the academy.
At this time, Shengyuan Academy was also rallying personnel.
Their strongest Martial Cultivator was an Elder named Dian Qing, not their director.
When confronting the Foreign Tribe, it was Dian Qing who contributed the most, leading them to a decisive victory.
Facing such a powerful lineup this time, naturally Dian Qing again led the team.
However, gathering five hundred Heavenly Person Third Layer Realm Martial Cultivators is easy, while assembling more than ten Zhuanzai Jingjie strongmen is difficult.
Especially since the enemy also has thirty Three-Eyed Foreign Tribe strongmen, they will likely need to send out more Zhuanzai Jingjie Martial Cultivators.
But across the entire Tianhong Realm, only twelve Zhuanzai Jingjie Martial Cultivators remain; the other strongmen have all been dispatched to eradicate the Foreign Tribe strongholds.
Thus Shengyuan Academy immediately sent a notice to all Martial Cultivators, ordering them to gather at the academy's temporary base, and emphasizing that no one may independently scout or strike until Dian Qing arrives to coordinate.
Dian Qing and others also instantly used a Teleportation Array to reach the stronghold seized by the Foreign Tribe, awaiting the assembly of the other Martial Cultivators.
Before long, Martial Cultivators from all sides hurried here to gather.
In the end, Dian Qing could only muster seventeen Zhuanzai Jingjie strongmen; together with Sang Han watching the Foreign Tribe, that made only eighteen in total.
Trying to use these people against thirty Three-Eyed Foreign Tribe strongmen seemed unlikely to Dian Qing.
But these are all they can use; the rest must be compensated by sheer numbers.
So Dian Qing added another thousand Heavenly Person Third Layer Realm Martial Cultivators.
And before departure, Dian Qing explained to everyone the number and strength of the Foreign Tribe.
He also reminded them: "We lack enough Zhuanzai Jingjie strongmen; when the time comes, you'll have to fight the Three-Eyed Foreign Tribe with all your might.
If anyone fears death, you may leave now; we will never force you!"
The Tianhong World, having been ravaged by the Foreign Tribe, also harbors deep hatred for them.
Thus, regardless of how they act otherwise, they are united against the Foreign Tribe.
Therefore, his declaration caused no one to retreat; instead, many more joined.
In the end, the Heavenly Person Third Layer Realm Martial Cultivators numbered over twelve hundred.
After Dian Qing called a halt in time, the numbers finally stopped increasing.
"Thank you all for your support, but there are too many people, which actually hinders our command of the battle.
These people are enough! If we still cannot eliminate those Foreign Tribe, then the Tianhong World's guard mission will fall to those who remain behind!"
After exchanging a few polite words with the others, Dian Qing immediately led the team out.
The remaining people stayed put, awaiting news.
If Dian Qing and his group truly suffered defeat, they would rush back to the Tianhong World, consolidate all resources to break through to the Zhuanzai Jingjie, to meet the Foreign Tribe's upcoming challenge.
When Dian Qing led his massive team over, Ye Liuyun noticed them.
He examined the leading Dian Qing closely and couldn't help but marvel at his strength.
Because Dian Qing's True Essence was actually more condensed than his.
This was also Ye Liuyun's first time seeing that, among cultivators of the same realm, there were Martial Cultivators whose Mysterious Origin was even more condensed than his.
Moreover, Dian Qing didn't look old either, with the appearance of someone in his forties or fifties, his face showed no trace of evil aura, and he could lead the resistance against the Foreign Tribe, so Ye Liuyun also felt some fondness for him, thinking he could help them more when the time came.
At that moment he transmitted all the observed Foreign Tribe position information via the Slave Seal to Sang Han, asking Sang Han to draw them a detailed layout map of the Foreign Tribe.
After Sang Han drew the map, he handed it to Dian Qing.
Dian Qing also made corresponding arrangements according to that layout.
After the arrangements were made, Dian Qing also asked Sang Han: "How did you obtain such detailed information?"
Although Sang Han was the vice-dean, Dian Qing's strength was higher and his status in the Sect was also higher, so there was no need to be polite when speaking to him.
Sang Han originally wanted to say he had obtained the information by personally scouting, but Ye Liuyun had him say it was information gathered at the cost of several disciples' sacrifices.
Fortunately, Sang Han spoke as Ye Liuyun had instructed, and only then did Dian Qing believe it.
