Chapter 2565: Joint Strike

Ye Liuyun thought, since Dianqing had already opened the discussion, he felt there was no problem and he wouldn't be at a loss.

Moreover, this open communication style suited Ye Liuyun's taste.

No matter what the future holds, at least now the cooperation was very pleasant.

"Good! Thrilling, ha ha!"

Dianqing was also very pleased that Ye Liuyun could decide quickly.

Afterwards he began to discuss business with Ye Liuyun.

Everything followed Ye Liuyun's quoted prices, and the transaction proceeded directly.

First, the Foreign Tribe's more than ten massive Warships were traded outright.

Then came the Puppet Beast and armor; Ye Liuyun could only temporarily hand over his inventory and their stored supplies, and let Tong Xin and the other refiners replenish later.

As for the Flying Swallow, the Rainbow Heaven Dynasty demanded twenty thousand of them at once.

Ye Liuyun thought and decided to trade with Dianqing by selling the design instead.

"The quantity is too large! I still need to purchase materials and refine them; delivery would take too long.

How about I sell you the design, and you manufacture them yourselves?"

Dianqing immediately consulted the royal court and the academy, then replied to Ye Liuyun: "First sell us five thousand units; we will, at your price, also provide the raw materials for refining Flying Swallows.

Then you also sell us the design, and we will develop it ourselves, okay?"

Ye Liuyun saw that their terms were suitable and that they seemed to urgently need Flying Swallows, so he said: "Alright, I can set aside five thousand.

But I won't let you lose too much; I'll lower the design price for you!"

"The Foreign Tribe's equipment fabrication is also very odd; the Western Region war zone doesn't use Flying Swallow equipment.

They have never seen it before!"

Ye Liuyun had actually been suspecting in secret; likely the Foreign Tribe's refining capability has all been devoted to supporting the North.

"Deal!"

Dianqing, seeing Ye Liuyun wasn't taking advantage, nodded approvingly.

So Ye Liuyun directly contacted Xiao Muan, asking him to borrow five thousand Flying Swallows and send them over via the Teleportation Array Disc.

After Ye Liuyun sold those five thousand Flying Swallows, he also gave the design to Dianqing and received the corresponding resources.

Then Ye Liuyun used the Teleportation Array Disc to send back the resources and refining materials from the sale of the five thousand Flying Swallows, and Xiao Muan profited handsomely.

The Holy Land Dynasty currently has no war; they have enough time to replenish those five thousand Flying Swallows, and earning extra resources is quite appropriate.

Xiao Muan also asked Ye Liuyun whether they had found allied partners.

Ye Liuyun gave a brief overview, only saying that more time was needed for coordination.

Xiao Muan felt considerably relieved because of this.

With someone helping to contain the Foreign Tribe, his own pressure could be reduced a lot.

So he also told Ye Liuyun that they would fully support the alliance; whenever needed, just call him.

Ye Liuyun had waited these many years, and finally the Holy Land Dynasty recognized the importance of the alliance.

However, this realization came only after the Holy Land Dynasty's massive internal strife and several major battles against the Foreign Tribe.

Ye Liuyun also harbored a vague worry that the Rainbow Heaven World might follow the Holy Land Dynasty's old path.

But there was nothing he could do; he could only wait for the Rainbow Heaven Dynasty's own decision.

He had also discussed the current state of the Rainbow Heaven World with Dianqing.

They too had been driven back to their homeland by the Foreign Tribe.

Yet the Corpse Demon‑transformed Martial Cultivators of the Foreign Tribe were all low‑realm cultivators.

Their high‑end combat power remained intact.

Then, under Dianqing's leadership, they launched a surprise attack on the Foreign Tribe, killing its strongmen and gradually slicing the enemy army.

Although they ultimately won, their losses were indeed heavy; their current combat strength is less than a third of what it once was.

Within the Shengyuan Academy stronghold, the Martial Cultivators are almost all of their force.

The remaining Martial Cultivators in the royal court and academy are few, no longer the backbone.

Therefore they hurried to eliminate the Foreign Tribe's bases in the Western Region, to buy time for rebuilding strength.

Once the Flying Swallows arrived, they immediately began training soldiers and quickly mobilized two thousand to the base, preparing to join the Martial Cultivators in eradicating the Foreign Tribe's stronghold.

Moreover, as soon as these Flying Swallows appeared, several squads were dispatched to scout the location and strength of the Foreign Tribe's base.

Ye Liuyun and Dianqing also promptly led their men out, heading first to the identified Foreign Tribe base.

Among them were three bases that turned out to be Demon Race territories, so Ye Liuyun voluntarily took charge, aiming to expand the Space World's power for his duplicate.

When the attack commenced, the duplicate, together with Wu Qingcheng and others, struck.

Because there were still some Foreign Tribe soldiers there, each base had at least five or six hundred thousand troops.

Thus Ye Liuyun unleashed Magic Vine, Sealing Demon Tablet, Lei Ming, Long Nv, Liang Xue, Nine-Headed Demon Dragon, Vermilion Bird and Mu Sai against the Foreign Tribe, without sending a single soldier.

Whoever obtained the resources kept them, which also solved those Foreign Tribe's cultivation resource problems.

Everyone scrambled to act, competing for resources, each trying to kill more and faster.

The duplicate also cultivated, enhancing Time Power in battle, while Ye Liuyun rushed to boost his Mysterious Origin Quality.

Dianqing's True Essence Quality also triggered Ye Liuyun's determination to surpass him.

Of course, this doesn't mean Ye Liuyun can't defeat Dianqing.

Ye Liuyun remains very confident in his Space World power.

But having discovered his shortcoming, he wants to remedy it immediately.

Moreover, after his duplicate absorbed a Demon Race world, he swapped places with the duplicate, rejoined the fight, and besides strengthening Heaven and Earth Power, he also refined his blade intent.

In previous battles against the Foreign Tribe, he found his blade intent still insufficiently strong.

It looks quite powerful, but it's still far from reaching Ye Liuyun's goal.

In his view, a single strike from Yi Dao should slice a Foreign Tribe Heavenly Person Triple Layer cultivator into a blood mist.

Now it merely causes the Foreign Tribe's flesh to scatter, showing it's still far short.

The second Demon Race world captured by Ye Liuyun and his companions was given by Ye Liuyun to Lei Ming.

The avatar's previous one hasn't been fully refined yet, and in a short time it can't refine that much; giving it to Lei Ming also conveniently lets her enhance the Space World's power.

Only after they captured the third Foreign Tribe stronghold did they then give it to the avatar.

Moreover, to wait for the avatar to finish refining the first Demon Race world, they stayed here a few extra days.

Their previous progress was on par with Dian Qing's, and they were actually comparing themselves to each other.

But now that they've stopped, Ye Liuyun originally thought he would fall behind.

Unexpectedly, Dian Qing and his group also stopped.

According to Dian Qing, their Martial Cultivators and Fei Yan have suffered some losses, which is a good chance to rest and regroup.

Ye Liuyun also learned from Sang Han that, in order to keep up with Ye Liuyun's attack speed, Dian Qing had people accelerate their pace.

Therefore, after capturing these three strongholds, the Martial Cultivators lost over three hundred people, and the Fei Yan warships lost fewer than a thousand vessels.

But their joint operation this time was undoubtedly successful, capturing six Foreign Tribe strongholds in one fell swoop.
