Chapter 2577: Shifting the Battlefield
Even the Book Demon is very satisfied with Ye Liuyun's recent speed of progress.
It thinks that his recent gathering of resources, cultivation, and fighting means he is finally getting down to business.
Ye Liuyun himself feels that during this recent period, both he and those around him have indeed been improving very quickly.
However, this also relates to the foundation he built earlier.
If he hadn't previously put in so much effort and built such a powerful army, he wouldn't now have such peaceful days that let him confidently attack the Foreign Tribe.
Although the army now appears to be searching for resources everywhere, as long as its deterrent against the Holy Land Dynasty and the Shengyuan Dynasty remains, Ye Liuyun does not worry about the rear falling into chaos.
Ye Liuyun's three squads, after nearly half a year of fighting and honing, finally cleared all the Western Region outposts.
The three squads also merged, uniformly organizing and allocating resources.
Ye Liuyun, seeing that the returning people's strength has all improved, feels happy inside.
Especially Wu Qingcheng and others have already begun advancing toward the Zhuanzai Jingjie.
The Foreign Tribe, though in pain, watches Ye Liuyun pull out their outposts one by one.
The three‑eyed Gold‑armored Alien Tribe they cultivated still falls far short in combat power to face Ye Liuyun.
Thus the Foreign Tribe now anxiously awaits Ye Liuyun to attack their lair.
However, Ye Liuyun's side shifted the battlefield and moved to the Southern Region.
This time he attacks the Southern Region outposts of the Foreign Tribe, directly surrounding their lair and fighting from the inside outward.
The reason he did not first rush to the Southern frontline was that he did not want to be disturbed by other matters, feeling that these days of focused fighting and cultivation gave him rapid advancement.
So he temporarily did not ally with those on the frontline resisting the Foreign Tribe, but instead prepared to cultivate Wu Qingcheng and others to the Zhuanzai Jingjie; after he himself became even stronger, he would form the alliance, then directly shift to the Eastern battlefield until the Foreign Tribe's lair was captured.
When the Foreign Tribe saw that Ye Liuyun did not come to attack them, they fought farther away, which actually gave them a sigh of relief.
"Let him fight; once he reaches the Southern frontline, we can also pull out some people to deal with him!"
The Foreign Tribe's Clan Chief Xing Yan adopts a continued delaying strategy, ordering each Southern outpost to start strengthening, and transferring some high‑end forces to the frontline to boost its combat power and push forward faster.
The pressure on the Southern frontline of the Foreign Tribe is also not light.
The resistance they face is led by the Human Race, combined with ferocious beasts and the Demon Race, jointly repelling the Foreign Tribe's assault.
Hence the South cannot draw forces to oppose Ye Liuyun.
Their Southern army lacks sufficient strength itself, and the battle has already entered a stalemate.
Now the Foreign Tribe moves the strongmen of each outpost forward, leaving Ye Liuyun a series of "empty nests", making his fighting very easy and allowing him to obtain resources effortlessly.
But the Alliance that originally resisted the Foreign Tribe on the frontline now feels the pressure.
They immediately captured a few Foreign Tribe Soul Searchers, discovered the situation, and promptly began discussing countermeasures.
The Alliance leader is named Cang Jingsong.
He can unite these three different races, showing that he himself possesses an alliance mindset.
Upon learning this, he thought that since the Foreign Tribe is even willing to sacrifice outposts, it shows they have apprehension toward Ye Liuyun.
Moreover, Ye Liuyun's ability to continuously eliminate Foreign Tribe outposts means his strength certainly cannot be underestimated.
So after consulting the Alliance's True Elders Council, he decided to send someone to find Ye Liuyun and form an alliance with him.
Finding Ye Liuyun a day earlier would let them eradicate the Foreign Tribe a day earlier.
Ultimately, after discussion, the task was assigned to several Martial Cultivators.
One of the Human Martial Cultivators, a woman, is Meng Qingyin.
Her name is also very famous within the Alliance; she originally was a saint disciple of an academy.
Her strength has now not only reached the Zhuanzai Jingjie, but also possesses strong leadership ability.
At the outset of the war with the Foreign Tribe, she led academy disciples to repel the Tribe's probing.
Afterwards she continuously led Martial Cultivators fighting on the frontline.
After the Alliance was founded, Meng Qingyin gradually formed her own force, composed of a thousand academy disciples, equipped with two thousand ferocious beasts and a thousand Demon Race members, becoming a very formidable combat unit.
In many battles, this unit played a pivotal role.
Including ambushes, killing Foreign Tribe leaders, etc., causing great losses to the Tribe.
Hence more people are willing to serve in her legion, and she gradually expanded the force to ten thousand.
"I won't go! The Foreign Tribe's strong ones are increasing, the frontline pressure is greater, I can't leave!"
Meng Qingyin was summoned to the Alliance Grand Hall, and upon learning she was to go find Ye Liuyun, she outright refused.
She added, "It's just for negotiations; you can just send anyone."
"Even without anyone's help, we can still contend with the Foreign Tribe."
She also understood that they sent her because she is a young woman.
And Ye Liuyun is a man; sending her naturally has some courting implication.
The Alliance Elders all think that sending a young woman makes negotiations easier.
And the young woman they can put forward, Meng Qingyin is the most suitable.
Whether in appearance or experience fighting the Foreign Tribe, Meng Qingyin can communicate well with Ye Liuyun.
But Meng Qingyin is not the type to gladly become a sacrificial pawn.
She has the ability herself and despises using such tactics.
In the end Cang Jingsong still persuaded her: "We let you go because it's easier for young people to communicate."
"We old guys sound too dull as soon as we speak."
"The reason our Alliance has been able to resist the Foreign Tribe until now is cooperation, working together with all forces opposing the Tribe."
"Now that we have a Human Martial Cultivator that the Foreign Tribe fears, we must seize the opportunity even more."
This is not a trivial matter.
He does not wield only his own power.
Perhaps he understands the Foreign Tribe even more.
This is of great significance to our counterattack against the Foreign Tribe.
Such an important matter is far more important than killing a few Foreign Tribe members on the battlefield.
Ye Liuyun, such an important figure, is also far more helpful to us than a large army.
Let you handle this matter precisely because I have confidence in your abilities.
The Alliance Leader Cang Jingsong's words also caused Meng Qingyin's attitude to loosen somewhat.
"If you're not at ease, I'll arrange for an Elder to accompany you."
Cang Jingsong then added.
"Then there's nothing to worry about..." Meng Qingyin remained confident in her own strength.
Cang Jingsong immediately followed up: "Then that's good.
Then you should set off immediately! Bring some personal guards, after all you'll pass many Foreign Tribe strongholds on the way, so danger is inevitable.
But don't bring too many people, or it'll be easy for the Foreign Tribe to notice.
"This... then alright!"
Meng Qingyin finally agreed: "I'll go back to make arrangements and then set out."
Seeing Meng Qingyin agree, the Alliance Leader and some Elders finally felt relieved.
