Chapter 2598: Resolving the Infiltration

Ye Liuyun saw that Zhou Ning was not controlled by the Foreign Tribe and that his status within the Zhou Clan was still very high, so he did not place a Slave Seal on him.

He immediately pulled Zhou Yuan and Qian Hai into the Space World and then kept his distance from Zhou Ning.

He told him about the Foreign Tribe's plan.

Zhou Ning was also very surprised; he did not expect Ye Liuyun to dodge so quickly.

He had originally been very confident in his own strike, believing that with his Spatial Power a single move would certainly capture Ye Liuyun.

However, when he saw Ye Liuyun evade easily, he did not strike again; he only asked Ye Liuyun for people.

After he listened to Ye Liuyun's account, he also felt that Ye Liuyun did not seem intent on destroying their Zhou Clan.

"Who are you?

Why should I believe what you say?"

Zhou Ning asked Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun did not reveal his identity, but said coolly, "If you go back and investigate, you'll find out.

Zhou Qiang and the current Elders of the clan have already been controlled by the Foreign Tribe; with your strength, you can easily discover it."

Zhou Ning shook his head; he did not want to use the Soul Searching Technique on his own people.

Otherwise he would have known the Foreign Tribe's plan long ago.

Seeing that Ye Liuyun did not wish to reveal his identity, he also did not want to continue stalling with Ye Liuyun.

"Leave the people with me, and you may go!"

Zhou Ning said to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun gave him no face and refused outright: "That won't do.

If the Zhou Clan does not purge the Foreign Tribe's infiltration, I will not send them back.

Otherwise, if they return, they will be controlled by the Foreign Tribe again.

Do you want the Foreign Tribe to continue controlling the Zhou Clan?

Rest assured, they are safe under my protection.

Even if they die, it will be in battle against the Foreign Tribe, not a senseless death."

Zhou Ning frowned at the words and was about to strike at Ye Liuyun again.

"Zhou Ning, you are not my opponent.

I don't kill you because you have the ability to resolve the clan's Foreign Tribe infiltration.

If you insist on being reckless, I will kill you first, then deal with the Zhou Clan myself."

Ye Liuyun threatened him.

Zhou Ning was startled by the words, not expecting that just as he was about to act, Ye Liuyun had already noticed him.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun had called him by name, which made him think Ye Liuyun might have some connection to the Zhou Clan.

While he hesitated, Ye Liuyun employed Time Power, leapt far away, then donned the Invisibility Cloak and stood motionless at the spot.

By the time Zhou Ning realized, Ye Liuyun was already gone.

He sighed and could only return to the clan.

Ye Liuyun let him go because he thought letting him handle the Zhou Clan's problem would be far easier than acting himself.

After Zhou Ning left, Ye Liuyun did not return to the clan but went straight back to find Luan Ping.

With Zhou Ning around, even if he returned to the clan he might be discovered by Zhou Ning, so it was better to let the resistance monitor the clan's movements.

If Zhou Ning took action to cleanse the clan, he would naturally not need to act himself.

If Zhou Ning still ignored it, he could again use Divine Soul Power to control Zhou Ning in time.

After seeing Luan Ping, Ye Liuyun found that Luan Ping already had a cultivation realm and was condensing a Golden Core.

Martial Cultivators of the Divine Realm have a foundation that surpasses those of the Mortal Realm.

He estimated that once Luan Ping condenses the Golden Core, his advancement would be rapid.

So he drew the Demon Slaying Sword, infused it with some sword intent, and cleaved a large tree with a single slash.

"Within this slash is my sword intent; you can come often to comprehend it.

Take your time, strive to soon condense a seed of sword intent."

Ye Liuyun also knew he was still far from forming a sword intent seed, so he didn't force him, merely gave him a reference.

Luan Feng An, seeing Luan Ping begin cultivation, stopped making him do menial chores and supported everything himself.

Previously he didn't want Luan Ping to cultivate because he lacked a method and resources, knowing Luan Ping couldn't succeed.

Now that he has Ye Liuyun's support, he naturally hopes his grandson becomes stronger.

Ye Liuyun, also worried that Luan Feng An would be too busy and delay Luan Ping's cultivation, asked Tong Xin for a Kuailei to help Luan Feng An with work.

Tong Xin, according to Luan Ping's realm, forged a Kuailei for him that could both assist Luan Feng An and serve as a training partner for Luan Ping.

Ye Liuyun also allocated ample resources for Luan Ping's Kuailei use, letting them employ it without worrying about supplies.

The resources Ye Liuyun currently holds are more than enough to support a single Luan Ping.

Meanwhile, after returning, Zhou Ning realized that if he ignored the Zhou Clan's affairs, no one would be able to tidy up the chaos.

He first revealed himself to find Zhou Qiang, and during the meeting he immediately struck Zhou Qiang, forcibly erasing his Divine Soul Contract with the Foreign Tribe, then proceeded to locate each Elder and delete their contracts in the Sea of Consciousness one by one.

As soon as he erased Zhou Qiang's contract, the Foreign Tribe had already noticed that their control over Zhou Qiang had failed.

At that moment they ordered the other Elders to flee quickly.

But Zhou Ning was too powerful; even the few bold Elders who escaped were pursued back by him one by one.

In this way, Zhou Ning freed the strongest Elders of the Zhou Clan from the Foreign Tribe's control, then let them act, continuing the purge.

Zhou Qiang and those Elders naturally did not want to be controlled by the Foreign Tribe.

So they immediately took action, beginning the cleansing throughout the clan.

They know better which people belong to the Foreign Tribe, so they began to act from the top down.

That move dealt a heavy blow to the Foreign Tribe.

They painstakingly elevated Zhou Qiang, taking control of the whole tribe, but they didn't expect Zhou Ning alone to ruin it.

Zhou Qiang and the Elders were secretly delighted, even grateful to Zhou Ning.

They not only unified two tribes but also restored freedom, which was essentially a profit.

If they had unified the two tribes by normal means, even more would have died.

Zhou Qiang showed no restraint and quickly cleaned up all the Foreign Tribe's spies.

The Foreign Tribe, unwilling to accept defeat, sent strongmen to sabotage Zhou Qiang's cleanup.

But Zhou Ning struck like thunder this time, killing all the Foreign Tribe's strongmen.

The Foreign Tribe didn't want to fight the Zhou tribe now; they wanted to preserve strength against Ye Liuyun, so after using a Divine Soul Contract to control two ordinary Martial Cultivators, they stopped paying attention to the Zhou tribe.

They just wait for Ye Liuyun to arrive, then have those two Martial Cultivators inform them.

When they strike later, the Zhou tribe will think Ye Liuyun brought the Foreign Tribe, and thus won't dare ally with him.

After a while, Zhou Ning saw everything progressing smoothly and the Foreign Tribe no longer sending people, so he resumed his seclusion to cultivate, leaving Zhou Qiang to continue ruling the tribe.

But this news is not good for the rebels.

Their restoration of the Jin tribe becomes even more distant.

Thus they pull their base far back while sending envoys to negotiate with the Zhou tribe, hoping to restore the Jin tribe.

Ye Liuyun also received the rebels' message, thought there was no major problem, and let his duplicate pick him up to continue eradicating the Foreign Tribe's strongholds.

As for the rebels' negotiations with the Zhou tribe, he believes Zhou Qiang will not agree; he's just stalling with them.

Having already tasted the meat, Zhou Qiang cannot spit it out.
