Chapter 2589: Arousing Suspicion

Seeing the Foreign Tribe strongman still busy eliminating Feiyan, without all coming to attack the allied forces' strongman, the allied forces immediately seized this chance, increasing the intensity of their attack.

The Foreign Tribe's massive army also only rushed out five hundred thousand, clashing with the allied forces.

But whenever the Foreign Tribe was close to being annihilated, they started reinforcing again, sending a hundred thousand, then another hundred thousand to the battlefield.

In numbers, the Foreign Tribe is at a disadvantage, yet the continual dispatch of a hundred thousand each time never ceased.

Every time the allied forces thought they would eliminate all the Foreign Tribe soldiers, the Foreign Tribe again sent a hundred thousand troops as reinforcement.

The allied forces, seeing victory, were reluctant to withdraw, so they kept wearing down the Foreign Tribe until, when only about a million troops remained, they sensed the situation was unfavorable and prepared to retreat.

At that moment, the Foreign Tribe's strongmen and a million‑strong army suddenly charged out, catching the allied forces off guard, leading to a complete rout.

Lie Du and Liu Kui and other strongmen, along with the Leader, managed to escape quickly, but the main army suffered terribly, constantly attacked by Foreign Tribe strongmen, incurring heavy losses; ultimately, fewer than five hundred thousand managed to return to the base.

The allied forces only at this point realized they seemed to have fallen into the Foreign Tribe's trap, and began seeking aid from all sides.

Ye Liuyun only then learned the news that the battlefield had already lost five million five hundred thousand troops.

This news also surprised him greatly; he inquired in detail about the entire battle's course from Lie Du and Liu Kui.

"You were too careless! This is clearly a trap, meant to force a war of attrition against you!"

After hearing this, Ye Liuyun immediately confirmed that the allied forces had fallen into the Foreign Tribe's trap.

"What should we do now?"

Lie Du and Liu Kui had already been stunned; they had already wiped out most of the alliance's forces, and were then surrounded by the Foreign Tribe, suffering a huge loss.

"Retreat! Staying any longer is meaningless.

If you reinforce, the Foreign Tribe will reinforce as well."

Ye Liuyun directly ordered them to retreat.

"What about the alliance matter?"

Lie Du asked Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun only said: "When I get there, I'll go talk to them.

After you return, reorganize the army, and be ready to rejoin the fight."

He thought that since the Foreign Tribe had already set the trap, he wasn't in a hurry to rush over, first letting the Ye tribe be puzzled for a while.

Moreover, he also thought the Zhou clan might have a motive to frame them.

Even if not intentional framing, they still wanted to trap them once.

This kind of tactic by the Foreign Tribe, even if the Zhou people are numerous and powerful, probably can't hold out.

The reason they let the alliance's main army try it may be because they already knew the Foreign Tribe had an ambush.

Thus he doesn't intend to go and talk with the Zhou clan right away, but first conduct an investigation.

So he sent his clone out, letting the clone rush ahead to scout the situation.

He continued to advance with A Xing, Wu Qingcheng and others bit by bit, to attract the Foreign Tribe's attention.

The clone wasn't in a hurry to go over, instead practiced Spatial Power while traveling.

Meng Qingyin, after receiving the news, also immediately contacted Ye Liuyun, asking whether she should go to assist in battle.

She also didn't know why, but at once sought Ye Liuyun's opinion.

She only felt that Ye Liuyun had the strength to turn defeat into victory.

Ye Liuyun calmly replied: "No need.

You're too late to go now; continue eradicating the Foreign Tribe's strongholds. It makes no difference where you eliminate them.

I'll first investigate before deciding.

I think the eastern Zhou clan has issues, maybe they're deliberately trapping us."

Hearing this, Meng Qingyin felt relieved.

But she still asked Ye Liuyun: "Approximately when will the allied forces strike again?

I need the soldiers to prepare for battle."

Ye Liuyun was momentarily stunned, and said to Meng Qingyin: "It seems you haven't learned the essence of Death Legion's training.

Since the Death Legion's founding day, they have always been on standby.

No matter when, they never use the excuse of being unprepared."

Meng Qingyin was also stunned, then suddenly understood.

"Got it!"

She replied to Ye Liuyun and then continued leading troops against the Foreign Tribe.

She finally understood why the Death Legion emphasizes conserving True Essence, and why after each battle they seize every moment to cultivate.

In subsequent battles, she applied these details, keeping the soldiers constantly in a ready state.

Ye Liuyun at this time also stopped advancing eastward, instead began sweeping the Foreign Tribe's bases horizontally.

And he sent the Magic Vine team out, letting them also join the fight.

Their own combat speed also quickened, destroying as many Foreign Tribe bases as possible.

Each strike, he directly used Spatial Power, locking most of the Foreign Tribe within the world, then began attacking with Wu Qingcheng and others for extermination.

Finally he left some Foreign Tribe for A Xing and others to practice on, while he simultaneously dug up Primordial Power.

After he extracted the Primordial Power, if A Xing and others had not finished the fight, he would use Divine Soul Power to help them swallow the Foreign Tribe's Divine Soul Power, then immediately gather everyone and, at his speed, rush to the next Foreign Tribe base.

The Magic Vine side was the same, fully exterminating the Foreign Tribe within the base.

Although his realm had not shown a breakthrough, his strength had indeed increased greatly; even the three‑eyed Foreign Tribe's Technique could no longer harm its vines and Physical Body.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun also began having him collect two Primordial Powers, he himself devouring one.

Thus now his single‑strike power is such that ordinary Zhuanzai Jingjie strongmen simply cannot withstand it.

Even those Zhuanzai Jingjie strongmen borrowing Spatial Power cannot necessarily block his single strike.

The Magic Vine's full‑force strike can split even an entire Foreign Tribe stronghold into several small worlds; thus its speed is no slower than Ye Liuyun's.

So when the duplicate just arrived in the world where the Zhou tribe resides, Ye Liuyun and the Magic Vine had already wiped out one‑third of the Eastern Foreign Tribe strongholds.

In the Eastern Foreign Tribe war zone, they created a hollow zone.

Then Ye Liuyun continued to press eastward.

Their acceleration left the Foreign Tribe somewhat at a loss, unsure whether to strike at Ye Liuyun.

The three‑eyed Gold‑armored Alien Tribe cultivated by the Foreign Tribe can now almost spar with Ye Liuyun, but they still lack full confidence.

Thus the Foreign Tribe Clan Chief Xing Yan decided to continue enduring.

Now that they have already annihilated a large portion of Ye Liuyun's allied forces, Ye Liuyun's strength has been greatly weakened.

Xing Yan believes Ye Liuyun will eventually ally with the Zhou tribe, and only then will attack their lair.

So the Foreign Tribe essentially throws caution to the wind, holding still, allowing Ye Liuyun to strike at will.

After the duplicate reached the Zhou tribe, it first examined the Zhou situation carefully under Xingkong.

Through the Golden Pupil he observed closely and actually discovered that some strong individuals harbored the Foreign Tribe's evil aura.

He immediately understood: "It seems the Zhou situation may be far more complicated than I previously imagined."

They are not only trying to trap us into dealing with the Foreign Tribe, but also have internal treachery.
