Chapter 2762: Shocking the Empire

Roar!

When the Demon Race army emerged, the Beast King let out a great roar, spurring the Demon Race army to launch a full offensive.

The Demon Race army had just returned from another battlefield together with Ye Liuyun's clone, having secured a large amount of resources; their cultivation level is now equivalent to Zhuanzai Sanchong, so their strength is not weak. Moreover, many giant demons are among them, making their attack power even stronger. Their height and build are similar to those of the Foreign Tribe, with little difference in physical quality; the giant demons even have a size advantage, which makes them look frightening.

"I'll go! This kid still has this trick!" Han Qiao had become accustomed to repeated shocks. Upon seeing this Demon Race army, he recovered from the shock quickly.

Thus, he and Meng Wenxiang's army watched another spectacle, observing the Demon Race army once again encircle and annihilate fifty thousand Foreign Tribe reinforcements.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun returned to his clone's Space World to accelerate the recovery of Mysterious Origin, in case more battles followed.

The Sharp Blade Squad charged for a while, and after eliminating the Foreign Tribe's strongmen together with Ye Liuyun, it was also recalled by the clone into the Space World for cultivation and recovery.

The Demon Race army, under the clone's command, continued to slaughter the Foreign Tribe. The clone did not intervene further, instead monitoring the entire battlefield environment while keeping an eye on movements in the Xingkong, lest the Foreign Tribe or the Empire launch a surprise attack.

Magic Vine, Sealing Demon Tablet, and Zhuque naturally rejoined the fight; each battle was a huge gain for them. The others were exhausted and were cultivating to recover True Essence. The three of them, however, grew stronger the more they fought.

The clone also took time to devour a lot of the Foreign Tribe's Soul power to boost itself, and even helped the Beast King, Hatu, and other Demon Race monsters increase their Soul power.

When the Foreign Tribe scattered, Meng Wenxiang and Han Qiao immediately acted, dispatching troops to drive the Foreign Tribe back. In the end, the fifty thousand Foreign Tribe reinforcements were completely annihilated. After the Demon Race finished clearing the battlefield, they were promptly recalled by the clone into the Space World.

Afterwards, Ye Liuyun released Pei Yong; the clone also removed the Invisibility Cloak, posing as a Deputy Leader to greet Meng Wenxiang and Han Qiao.

"Thanks for your hard work, two Leaders! Our Leader Ye asked me to thank you both on his behalf!" the clone said.

"Tell that kid! I now admire him to the point of prostrating myself. If I ever can't make it in the Empire, I'll go serve under him!" Han Qiao said directly.

Meng Wenxiang was more restrained, saying little, only briefly bidding farewell to the clone, stating they must return to report.

"Alright, if there's a mission we'll contact each other again via Transmission Talisman!" the clone clearly had no intention of returning with them.

After they split up, Ye Liuyun sent Pei Yong back to the Space World to cultivate, and he once again donned the Invisibility Cloak and vanished.

This time, he was not only targeting the Foreign Tribe, but also went to scout the Empire's army deployments and the locations of its strongmen.

Since the Empire wanted him eliminated and set traps for him in battle, he would certainly retaliate; otherwise he'd feel uneasy.

After identifying the targets, he accelerated the cultivation of the captured Foreign Tribe, giving Life Spring Water to the wounded. The Foreign Tribe captives he has now seized number: one Zhuanzai Eightfold, forty‑two Sevenfold Sovereign, and one hundred eleven Sixfold Sovereign, enough to deal massive damage to the Empire's strongmen.

Moreover, he seeks revenge promptly. Once those Foreign Tribe strongmen recover, Ye Liuyun immediately lets them strike, attacking the Empire's strongmen, even covertly assisting from the side, capturing some relatively powerful Empire Martial Cultivators as troop reserves for Ye Tiandao.

As a result, this battle instantly eliminated sixty‑two Empire Martial Cultivators of the Sevenfold Sovereign and over two hundred of the Sixfold Sovereign. Afterwards, Ye Liuyun gathered the remaining Foreign Tribe into the Space World and vanished quietly.

Such a commotion, Liu Haotian, Meng Wenxiang, and Han Qiao could all guess it was his doing, but none spoke up.

"He finally did strike back!" Liu Haotian sighed, saying little else. In the report above, he only mentioned the Foreign Tribe's retaliation.

"I think he did well! If we just suffered losses, those people in the Empire should also taste some hardship!" Han Qiao said dismissively.

"I'm worried that if this continues, we might become enemies one day!" Meng Wenxiang said anxiously.

"That's also because the Empire forced it. Anyway, I won't strike at him!" Han Qiao declared outright.

Liu Haotian and Meng Wenxiang each remained silent, only feeling that such worries might soon become reality.

This Foreign Tribe ambush caused heavy losses among the Empire's Martial Cultivator strongmen and shocked the Empire. They didn't realize Ye Liuyun was behind it, truly believing it was the Foreign Tribe's retaliation.

So they simply dispatched more strongmen, while also having Liu Haotian strengthen the camp's defenses.

At the same time, the deeds of Ye Liuyun, Meng Wenxiang, and Han Qiao's four hundred thousand troops wiping out the one million five hundred thousand Foreign Tribe army spread throughout the Empire.

Although the authorities do not acknowledge the figure, because Meng Wenxiang and Han Qiao cannot produce the corresponding bodies and Foreign Tribe equipment as proof, the Leaders within the armies all know it is true.

Since they know exactly how many Foreign Tribe troops there are, the sudden disappearance of the one million five hundred thousand that rushed to the battlefield must mean they were all slain. The Empire merely finds an excuse and withholds any reward.

Moreover, those Leaders all know the main force must be Ye Liuyun's squad. Even if Meng Wenxiang and Han Qiao are strong, their squads' power is limited and cannot wield such overwhelming force.

As for the captured Zhuanzai Eightfold Foreign Tribe strongman, some believe it, some do not. After all, they cannot track such a strongman's whereabouts, nor know whether he was captured or escaped.

Only Liu Haotian learned the true situation from Meng Wenxiang and Han Qiao's mouths, and was also astonished by Ye Liuyun's power.

"So, he has strongmen exceeding Zhuanzai Eightfold around him; besides the two hundred thousand troops, there are also one hundred fifty thousand Demon Race troops. There may even be more armies, Monster Beasts, and strongmen..."

In the end, even Liu Haotian concluded that he cannot defeat Ye Liuyun.

"Indeed, the Foreign Tribe captives he seized already form a formidable force. That's a Zhuanzai Eightfold Foreign Tribe strongman!" Meng Wenxiang also sighed.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun did not stop; he had already entered the Foreign Tribe's base, plotting against another Zhuanzai Eightfold strongman.

He has never treated fighting the Foreign Tribe as a mission; he doesn't wait for Liu Haotian's orders, but believes that any opportunity should be seized.

These past few days, thanks to the clone's time acceleration, everyone inside the Space World has recovered True Essence. So he can act again.

Inside the Foreign Tribe base, the garrison is only two hundred thousand; though elite, they are certainly not as strong as his Wolf Hunting Legion. As for strongmen, he now has the Sharp Blade Squad and those captured Foreign Tribe, so he is not worried.

Thus he prepares another strong assault raid.
