Chapter 2796: Foreign Tribe Trap

Ye Liuyun, just as he arrived at the destroyed Foreign Tribe star system, encountered a Foreign Tribe patrol squad.

"Give me a sparring session!" Ye Liuyun didn't think further, judging the patrol squad weak, and immediately led Zhu Que, Lei Ming, Liang Xue and others to strike, wiping out that Foreign Tribe unit.

But from then on, Ye Liuyun and his group encountered multiple patrol squads every day.

Ye Liuyun kept training with the others against those Foreign Tribe for over ten days, then suddenly sensed something was off. Logically, after the Foreign Tribe discovered their patrol squad had been annihilated, they should dispatch stronger Foreign Tribe.

But now they were sending Foreign Tribe of equal level to give Ye Liuyun a sparring partner, clearly intending to lure Ye Liuyun's party into their trap.

Ye Liuyun immediately halted, carefully observing the surroundings. In the current Xingkong, he could see different Foreign Tribe patrol squads each day. The patrol squads closest to him were of a level comparable to theirs.

But the patrol squads far on both sides were of much higher level. Moreover, after flying behind them, they quietly gathered.

"It's indeed a trap!"

Ye Liuyun looked ahead at the Foreign Tribe's star system and understood their intention.

The Foreign Tribe waited for Ye Liuyun's party to appear, then continuously dispatched Foreign Tribe patrol squads to lure them into sparring. At the same time, they sent a multitude of patrol squads across the Xingkong, letting Ye Liuyun become accustomed, thereby overlooking the passing elite squads.

Then they would quietly have higher-level Foreign Tribe, looping from both sides to Ye Liuyun's rear, encircling them. When Ye Liuyun's party attacked the front star system, these Foreign Tribe would strike from both sides, annihilating them completely.

Ye Liuyun surveyed the numbers; the rear Foreign Tribe elites were already numerous, and there was a Ninefold Lord of the Foreign Tribe elite leading a team.

"Spearhead Squad, go spar with them! Magic Vine, also go. That Ninefold Lord of the Foreign Tribe, leave him to the Broken Horn."

The three Ninefold Lords of the Foreign Tribe that Ye Liuyun newly cultivated had already broken through their levels, just right to join the battle.

Thus Ye Liuyun had his clone don the Invisibility Cloak and sent them all over.

But as soon as they engaged, Ye Liuyun sensed something wrong. Each Foreign Tribe released many elites from its own Space World. Fortunately, the Spearhead Squad's numbers…

Their numbers were large, so they weren't defeated. Yet if the fight continued, the Spearhead Squad would inevitably suffer severe damage.

It seems the Foreign Tribe had fully prepared this trap.

Ye Liuyun thought of this; he had originally intended to force his way through the Foreign Tribe trap and press on, but now he stopped immediately.

He directly deployed the Spirit Cat Warship to cover the Spearhead Squad's battle. At the same time, he donned the Invisibility Cloak and rushed over.

Fortunately the clone was present, wearing the Invisibility Cloak, constantly shifting position and firing Technique, killing many Foreign Tribe Eightfold Lord elites, easing pressure on the Spearhead Squad.

He also released those Foreign Tribe elites from the Space World, striking the Foreign Tribe Martial Cultivator interception line. Then he employed Time Power, initiating a Spiritual Soul Attack, planting a Slave Seal on the Foreign Tribe.

After planting the Slave Seal this time, he didn't immediately retract his Space World, but let them kill nearby Foreign Tribe, causing the Foreign Tribe forces to descend into chaos and slaughter each other.

That elite Foreign Tribe force, unfortunately, had only one Ninefold Lord of the Foreign Tribe leading it; after Ye Liuyun's Broken Horn and the Three-Eyed Foreign Tribe jointly eliminated it, there were no more such top Ninefold Lords to block them.

On Ye Liuyun's side, eight Ninefold Lord elites also began full‑scale killing of those Foreign Tribe. Ye Liuyun rushed over, using Time Power and Divine Soul Power to capture Foreign Tribe elites.

The Spearhead Squad's elites formed formations against the enemy, blocking the Foreign Tribe elites' assault and preventing major losses. Magic Vine also devoured while firing Technique to kill Foreign Tribe. The Sealing Demon Tablet, released by Ye Liuyun, suppressed and devoured the Foreign Tribe elites.

The remaining reinforced Foreign Tribe patrol squads were all blocked outside the battlefield by the Spirit Cat Warship, preventing them from approaching. The large army and elites within the Foreign Tribe star system simply couldn't arrive in time to reinforce.

When the battle ended, Ye Liuyun immediately led everyone to withdraw quickly. Through the captured Foreign Tribe elites, he learned that the Foreign Tribe had deployed a massive number of elites and troops here. Those captured elites were only a small fraction, not the entirety of their forces.

Fortunately Ye Liuyun's vigilance is high. If they kept moving forward, the Foreign Tribe encircling them from behind would increase; although they might not ultimately stop them, the Spearhead Squad…

…would certainly be battered to the point of ruin.

Moreover, the opposing star system's Foreign Tribe army would also strike them; the Foreign Tribe had stationed fifteen million troops here, three times their number.

This star system previously did not host such a large Foreign Tribe presence. It was Ye Liuyun's arrival that prompted them to station heavy forces here, preparing an interception.

What alarmed Ye Liuyun even more was that these Foreign Tribe were merely gathered from nearby star systems. The Foreign Tribe's stronghold had not sent any elites or armies to reinforce.

"The number of Foreign Tribe is truly terrifying; even just the nearby ones can muster this many!"

Ye Liuyun couldn't help but sigh, it seems reaching the Foreign Tribe stronghold isn't an easy task.

So he promptly led his team to withdraw, and discussed strategies with Yu Xiaofeng and other Leaders.

"We can't engage in large‑scale battles any longer, or we'll be at a loss. Since they set traps for us, we can use the same method, lure them out, then suddenly unleash a massive number of Foreign Tribe elites to annihilate them!" Yu Xiaofeng suggested.

"We can also capture more Foreign Tribe. Regardless of their level, we can capture them and use Foreign Tribe against Foreign Tribe, reducing our soldiers' losses!" Qin Peng added.

Ye Liuyun agreed with their proposals. Though their troops are plentiful now, they cannot be consumed endlessly. If their forces are exhausted before reaching the Foreign Tribe stronghold, they'll arrive only to stare helplessly.

Ye Liuyun and his clone this time captured over two hundred Foreign Tribe elites, partially compensating for the loss in their ranks.

Under the cover of the Sealing Demon Tablet, Magic Vine, and the Spirit Cat Warship, the Spearhead Squad suffered little loss, which was fortunate.

This time Ye Liuyun gave all the Foreign Tribe corpses collected from the battlefield to Magic Vine, letting it fully strengthen. He thought cultivating Foreign Tribe was less…

…than first cultivating his own Magic Vine and Sealing Demon Tablet.

The Foreign Tribe's trap, though ultimately uncovered by Ye Liuyun and causing them some loss, also revealed Ye Liuyun's true strength, prompting them to immediately gather more elites and troops, continuing to reinforce here.
