Chapter 2603: The One Favored by All
Zhou Ning expressed his stance, agreeing to seize this opportunity to merge completely.
He even proposed allying with the Alliance's great army to jointly resist the Foreign Tribe's invasion.
The other attendees also agreed to unify, to choose a wise Leader, to end the two tribes' conflict once and for all, and to jointly tackle the Foreign Tribe.
After consolidating their opinions, they began to work out details and to tally which troublemakers needed to be eliminated.
Ye Liuyun had his clone use the teleport Black Tower to bring the Alliance's three million troops, as well as Elder Lie Du and other Alliance Elders.
Ye Liuyun himself did not intend to control the Alliance; he felt the Alliance's cooperative approach and open mindset were already fine. He was merely joining as a party, and the Alliance's governance remained in the Alliance's hands.
But the Alliance also knew Ye Liuyun's role was extremely important.
Even if the other factions were added together, Ye Liuyun's contribution could not be ignored.
In terms of combat power, even combined they were no match for Ye Liuyun.
The Alliance had suggested making Ye Liuyun the Alliance Leader, but Ye Liuyun declined.
He wouldn't even take the Elder position, not wanting the Alliance's affairs to bind him.
Thus the cooperation between the Alliance and Ye Liuyun was very smooth; both sides knew how to position themselves.
After the Alliance sent people, Ye Liuyun stepped back behind the scenes, handing all subsequent matters to the Alliance.
Zhou Ning, Dian Qing and other Martial Cultivator elites were temporarily handed over by Ye Liuyun to Ling Xiao, assisting him in overthrowing Zhou Qiang's rule.
With the Alliance's three million troops as the vanguard, Zhou Qiang instantly lost his resolve and promptly prepared to send envoys for peace talks.
But the great powers around him, seeing Zhou Qiang's dominance fade, began to strike him when he was down and turned to surrender to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao remained unflustered, allowing them to atone by merit; these powers then opened the tribe's defenses, letting Ling Xiao lead Martial Cultivators straight into the Zhou clan tribe to capture Zhou Qiang alive.
Zhou Qiang did not expect that those who usually flattered him would be the first to hand him over in such a moment.
Ling Xiao publicly announced Zhou Qiang's crimes, publicly beheaded Zhou Qiang, and confiscated his resources.
The populace cheered from both sides, shouting approval.
Later Ling Xiao led forces to systematically eliminate the major powers that had caused trouble for the people, earning everyone's praise and support.
As the leader of the new tribe, Ling Xiao naturally became the one everyone looked to.
Next, Ling Xiao announced the establishment of a new unified tribe, and consulted the Alliance, founding the Zhou Jin Dynasty.
Ling Xiao became the first Holy King.
After the dynasty's founding, a period of stabilization and transition was needed.
The Alliance Elders gave Ling Xiao great assistance, offering many good suggestions that helped stabilize the Zhou Jin Dynasty.
Ling Xiao also dispatched a million troops to join the Alliance.
Thus the Alliance's four million troops also began preparing to advance against the Foreign Tribe.
Meng Qingyin also became the Leader of a five hundred thousand army and began rigorous training.
However, she has been feeling rather down lately.
Because this time she saw the women beside Ye Liuyun.
They followed Ye Liuyun in the killing spree and also took part in the battle to eradicate the Foreign Tribe.
At this point Meng Qingyin realized Ye Liuyun already had so many women, and felt a strange unease.
She and Ye Liuyun hadn't even begun, yet the chance was already gone.
Liang Xue, Wu Qingcheng and the others were all very sensitive.
They tentatively asked Ye Liuyun for his opinion.
Ye Liuyun was truly afraid they would find him more women, so he immediately made clear he had no particular thoughts about Meng Qingyin, urging them not to meddle.
He also promptly ushered them into the Space World to continue their cultivation.
He himself was also so frightened that he dared not meet Meng Qingyin again.
Citing cultivation for war preparation, he avoided seeing anyone.
Meng Qingyin could only distract herself by busily training troops, hoping that over time the weight of Ye Liuyun in her heart would gradually fade.
Ye Liuyun also went to bring back Luan Feng'an and his grandson.
Ye Liuyun thought that if Luan Ping did not interact with other Martial Cultivators for a long time, he would become rather solitary in the future.
Moreover, to cultivate, one must constantly compare and improve among Martial Cultivators to have motivation.
But he never mentioned to anyone that Luan Ping was his disciple, nor did he have anyone give Luan Ping special care; after allocating sufficient resources to Luan Ping, he let him cultivate step by step on his own.
Although Luan Ping worked very hard, Ye Liuyun had him cultivate the Dual-Element Pill, so his cultivation path was destined to be far more difficult than that of ordinary people.
But this also ensured he would be almost invincible within the same realm.
However, Ye Liuyun did not neglect him; he often used the Slave Seal to understand Luan Ping's thoughts and would advise Luan Ping on many matters of conduct.
When cultivation issues arose, Ye Liuyun would promptly give him guidance.
Next, the four Alliance dynasties of the East, South, West, and North began a second troop increase, raising the force size to eight million; after unified integration and outfitting, they set out on the expedition.
The eight million troops boarded five massive Warships, and amid the people's send‑off, sailed toward the Foreign Tribe's stronghold.
Ye Liuyun did not march with the army; instead he continued altering his appearance and stayed here, waiting until the time was right, then he could simply use the teleport Black Tower to go over.
During this period, he could focus on cultivating.
Zhou Ning, Dian Qing and Hong Guang and other elites could serve as his sparring partners.
Besides the human‑inhabited regions, the Zhou Jin Dynasty also had vast uninhabited areas, many of which had never been explored.
When Ye Liuyun's cultivation became stagnant, he would take Luan Ping out to explore, and also let A Xing and others train again.
Through this expedition, Ye Liuyun discovered that the resources here were actually abundant, but scarcely developed.
The main reason was still the scarcity of Human Martial Cultivators.
Ye Liuyun urged Luan Ping to cultivate diligently, quickly boost his strength, and then travel to various places to explore and seek his own resources.
"Your resources here are indeed quite abundant.
Once your strength reaches the Divine Realm, you can go out for some training, travel around, don't always stay at home cultivating.
Yes, Master!
Luan Ping also quite likes adventure.
He would rather obtain resources on his own instead of relying on Ye Liuyun's gifts to cultivate.
Ye Liuyun also imparted considerable adventure experience to Luan Ping, letting him know that adventure is for obtaining resources, not for risking his life, and reminding him to ensure his own safety while adventuring.
Half a year later, the alliance army had almost advanced to the Foreign Tribe's stronghold, and Ye Liuyun then sent Luan Ping back to the Zhou Jin Dynasty to bid him farewell.
Ye Liuyun rendezvoused with the army via the Black Tower's transmission.
His clone had already gone to retrieve the armies of all the Death Legion divisions.
Only the Vanguard Squad, having been too scattered initially, still has some soldiers who haven't returned to the assembly point.
Ye Liuyun wasn't in a hurry either.
He simply released the million-strong army he had recalled, escorting the alliance army aboard various small Warships.
Along the way, when soldiers encountered the Foreign Tribe, they would strike to annihilate them and acquire resources.
