Chapter 2726: The Light-Stealing Business Association

His clone, accompanied by Lei Ming and Long Nv, prepared to strike the business association within his own territory first, ultimately creating a monopoly.

The original plan was to change his appearance and act directly.

But Demon Lion, upon learning the news, took the task for himself.

So Ye Liuyun released Demon Lion to see its performance.

The result was highly unexpected.

The Demon Lion, nicknamed "Thieving Cat," in a single move completely stripped a business association of its assets, stealing every resource from the manager's Storage Ring and the Treasure Vault without leaving a trace.

All the resources of the entire association were taken by the Thieving Cat, leaving only some ordinary supplies displayed at the outer counter, which it did not touch because too many people were watching.

But that amount of resources wasn't worth much.

"You Thieving Cat still have some use!"

Lei Ming also praised the Thieving Cat profusely and wanted to take it as a subordinate.

The Thieving Cat, knowing Lei Ming's connection to Ye Liuyun, immediately flattered him, voluntarily becoming Lei Ming's underling and thereafter perched on Lei Ming's shoulder.

One of them enjoys robbery, the other enjoys theft; together, Ye Liuyun instantly felt that resources would never be lacking.

Sure enough, within a month the two of them plundered every planet they occupied, ruining several business associations outright.

And the Spirit Cloud Business Association also seized the opportunity to launch.

Although some suspected the Spirit Cloud Business Association of covert meddling, there was no evidence.

Ye Liuyun's clone, leading the Sharp Blade Corps, guarded the Spirit Cloud Business Association; anyone daring to scheme was killed outright, then robbed again.

Thus, quickly, the Spirit Cloud Business Association established a firm foothold.

The remaining few associations were gradually squeezed out.

Once the Spirit Cloud Business Association got going, the flow of resources surged, no longer lacking.

Ye Liuyun also dispatched Feng Hong Xiu, Xia Tianqiong, and Xia Lingshuang to form a guard corps to protect the association's safety.

With these women present, the association's security gradually became assured.

Although it cannot yet sustain the consumption of a million‑strong army, further expansion is certain.

Ye Liuyun let them secure his own territory first, then continue expanding toward other dynasties, eventually establishing the largest chain of business associations.

By then, supporting a large army will be no problem.

Xuan Yuan Ling will also connect the associations in the Yinhu Xingxi and Ye Liuyun's Space World, using Teleportation Array Discs to transfer resources so that all resources circulate rapidly.

Of course, resources such as Storage Yuan Stone, Exchange Yuan Stone, and Hunting Falcon—military equipment—remain restricted; the local Martial Cultivators cannot obtain them to oppose Ye Liuyun.

When the association got underway, Ye Liuyun took Lei Ming, Long Nv, and Demon Lion and left again to seek resources in other dynasties, leaving this place under his clone's guard.

On the road, they seized uninhabited planets outright, and on inhabited ones Demon Lion acted, wiping out the local associations completely.

If anyone raised suspicion, Lei Ming would strike them down.

If the opposition was numerous and powerful, Ye Liuyun would wield Time Power to extricate them.

Moreover, they traveled swiftly; after the Hunting Falcon's strength improved, its flight speed increased, and no one could catch up.

After the alliance's negotiation team returned, they conveyed Ye Liuyun's intentions to the various dynasties.

The alliance, of course, would not simply hand over a dynasty to Ye Liuyun, so after deliberation they decided to dispatch troops while negotiating with him.

Ye Liuyun's retreat is unlikely unless Kui Shan can drive him back with a large army.

Their goal is to keep him confined to a few peripheral planets.

However, the alliance's mobilization from recruitment to deployment will not be swift.

Thus, Ye Liuyun has ample time to gather resources first.

Before the alliance officially dispatches troops, their association has already been stripped of most of its resources by Ye Liuyun.

While traversing their planets, Ye Liuyun naturally learned of their recruitment and deployment plans, so he accelerated his pace.

As for those associations, especially some chain ones, they began tightening defenses, but the Thieving Cat's skill kept improving; wherever the resources were hidden, it moved freely.

Some associations even set traps in their Treasure Vaults, yet the Thieving Cat fell for none, simply stealing and leaving, unaffected.

Later, those associations were forced to station experts in their Treasure Vaults to guard the resources.

But the Thieving Cat acted too fast; whenever it could enter, it always stole large amounts before anyone noticed, then fled the moment the experts raised the alarm.

If those people pursued, Lei Ming and Ye Liuyun would capture them for training, and they would vanish thereafter.

Thus those associations were tormented by Ye Liuyun and his group beyond endurance.

Many could no longer continue operating.

At this point, the Spirit Cloud Business Association also stabilized its territory and began expanding outward.

Ye Liuyun continuously sent the stolen goods back, while Xuan Yuan Ling first sold the loot on his own territory, then exchanged it for resources to sell in the newly expanded storefronts.

Thus, even if anyone suspected, they could find no trace on them.

Yu Xiaofeng's side is also hastening troop training.

The soldiers, now equipped with sufficient resources, have also improved in strength.

Ye Tiandao leads the Sharp Blade Corps, training and cultivating within Ye Liuyun's clone's Space World.

The newly recruited troops are strong; they were already Martial Cultivator elites from the Maniu Xingxi, and after a period of training quickly become qualified Sharp Blade soldiers.

Ye Liuyun also sent Ye Tiandao with them on several missions, helping the association eliminate rivals and seize resources, which they accomplished excellently.

Ye Liuyun, seeing his rear area running smoothly, did not rush to return.

Even the alliance has already dispatched two million troops, along with five thousand Martial Cultivators of the Second‑ and Third‑Ranks and five thousand of the First Rank (Zhuanzai Yichong), and he still continues to have the Thieving Cat and Lei Ming steal resources.

He knows the alliance's massive army will not act rashly; with his clone present, even if they send scouts, they gain no advantage.

When they are ready to attack, he can still use the Black Tower to teleport back, no problem.

His clone also dispatches Illusion Hand and shadows to monitor the alliance's army movements, and there are no signs of any action against the allied forces.

Thus, after the allied forces arrive, they set up camp on the planet opposite theirs.

Kui Shan does not understand the strength of the Death Legion; indeed, he does not dare to take the initiative to attack.

But every time scouts are sent out, they never return, so they can only temporarily stall, waiting for the outcome of negotiations.

The allied forces have deployed a considerable number of troops this time, consuming large amounts of resources every day; moreover, many merchant guilds have already been emptied by Ye Liuyun, so the dynasty's resources are all drawn from the Treasure Vault, yet they cannot be replenished.

The dynasty does not pay much attention to the merchant guilds' affairs, merely feeling that there is only a temporary shortage of resources, and thus does not overly concern itself.

For all the dynasties now, the main threat remains Ye Liuyun's Death Legion.
