Chapter 321: Corpse Demon Army

Nearly half a month passed, and every team that entered the Western Region to kill Ye Liuyun never returned. Ye Liuyun absorbed a lot of vital blood and souls; his bloodline power and soul grew much stronger.

Wu Qingcheng took this chance to practice using the Mitian Realm and the Invisibility Cloak. Yu Er trained with the Weapon-Breaking Mace. These treasures greatly boosted their attack capability.

If Wu Qingcheng wields the Mitian Realm and the Invisibility Cloak, she can reach the fourth tier of Battle Core Pill. And Yu Er, with the Weapon-Breaking Mace, can fight a Martial Cultivator who has a first‑tier Core Pill and a weapon.

Although everyone who went to kill Ye Liuyun never came back, the lure of a high bounty still drove more and more people to pour into the Western Region.

After a short rest, Ye Liuyun and his group stopped idling, switched to combat mode, and spent each day slaying these Martial Cultivators.

That day they eliminated another squad of Martial Cultivators. While cleaning the battlefield, Lin Feier sighed, "These Martial Cultivators aren't eager to kill Corpse Demons, but for a bit of money they fight us to the death. You idiots! When the Corpse Demons reach their doorstep, they'll regret it!"

Lin Feier's casual complaints actually reminded Ye Liuyun!

"Exactly! Since they won't voluntarily kill Corpse Demons, I can make them kill them passively!"

Everyone, hearing this, turned to look at Ye Liuyun.

"Mingshe, help me summon the Corpse Demon Army; I will lead the army to encircle these Martial Cultivators," Ye Liuyun shouted excitedly.

Immediately, Mingshe began gathering nearby Corpse Demon Armies to converge here, amassing five small legions.

He doesn't need to issue orders to every Corpse Demon; commanding the five highest Corpse Demon leaders suffices, making it relatively easy.

Then, at Ye Liuyun's command, the Corpse Demon Army began to surround the Human Race Martial Cultivators.

Human Martial Cultivators are a scattered ragtag; they don't support each other, so Ye Liuyun struck them down one by one, wiping out squad after squad.

They stayed far behind, collecting loot; they usually cultivate, and when cultivation gets stale they go fight a few battles. Their realms steadily improve.

When Corpse Demon numbers dropped, Ye Liuyun gathered the scattered nearby Corpse Demons, letting them devour each other to create new Core Pill strong ones. After each battle, he let the Corpse Demons fight over the True Essence and the Body‑Refining Realm Corpse Demon Crystal Core.

He led this fifty‑thousand‑strong Corpse Demon Army to circle a vast area of the Western Region, encircling the Martial Cultivators who came to kill him. Occasionally encountering other Corpse Demon legions, he incorporated them into his force.

Half a month later, the size of his Corpse Demon legion barely changed, but the number of high‑tier combatants doubled, their combat power grew stronger, and the coordination among Corpse Demons became more seamless! Previously they only fought individually, but under Ye Liuyun's command they began training to cooperate. Several Corpse Demons can now launch joint attacks.

Gradually, the clamor of attempts to kill Ye Liuyun grew quieter in the Southern Region. Over a month passed, and large numbers of local Martial Cultivators rushed over, never returning.

Some thought Ye Liuyun's strength was too great for them to kill and gave up. Others believed those Martial Cultivators had encountered the Corpse Demon Army and were waiting for Ye Liuyun to return from the Western Region before pursuing him.

Ye Liuyun also sensed fewer Martial Cultivators arriving recently, leaving the Corpse Demon Army idle each day.

So he retrieved the massive warship he once used to house ferocious beasts, let the Corpse Demon Army board the warship, and from a distance piloted it toward the direction of the Jin Family.

"What are you doing?" Lin Feier asked, puzzled.

"I want them to kill Corpse Demons!" Ye Liuyun grinned mischievously. "Since the Jin Family has been idle enough to issue a bounty on me, I have to give them a surprise!"

Along the way, Ye Liuyun used the scale armor he had previously collected from a Heavenly Gang Realm foreign tribe to forge a set of armor for the Skeleton Puppet, encasing it from head to toe so that its true form was hidden.

Just before reaching the Jin Family, Ye Liuyun released the Corpse Demon Army, gave them a death order to attack the Jin Family until only one remained. Then he sent out the Skeleton Puppet to lie in wait and slay the Jin Family's Heavenly Gang Realm elders.

He, with the others, hid at a distance to watch the spectacle.

The Jin Family, faced with the sudden Corpse Demon Army, was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses.

Their Heavenly Gang Realm elders rushed out, but as soon as they appeared they were all taken down by the Skeleton Puppet. The Jin Family's elite disciples emerged to counter the Corpse Demon Army, yet many were slain by coordinated Corpse Demon attacks.

An hour later, the Corpse Demon Army had fought its way from the front gate to the courtyard. Wu Qingcheng then donned the Invisibility Cloak to harvest the Jin Family's Heavenly Gang elite's Storage Ring and the Crystal Cores of those Core Pill realm Corpse Demons.

The Skeleton Puppet had already slain fifteen or sixteen Jin Family elders of the Heavenly Gang Realm. Ye Liuyun had pre‑filled it with ample Spirit Stones, enough for a day's continuous combat.

For the Jin Family, it was undoubtedly their most devastating day. Confronted with so many Corpse Demons, even the Clan Chief had to temporarily lead the remaining members to withdraw from the Jin Family.

Ye Liuyun commanded the Corpse Demon Army to pursue them relentlessly from behind. He, with the Skeleton Puppet, charged toward the Jin Family's Underground Treasure Vault.

The Jin Family's Underground Treasure Vault not only had a Defense Array but also six Heavenly Gang elites guarding it. The array couldn't stop Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil; within a short time he shattered the array.

Then, together with the Skeleton Puppet, he slaughtered those Heavenly Gang elites. Now his own Soul can easily handle second‑ or third‑tier Heavenly Gang warriors; with Hell Mingshe, they quickly eliminated the stationed strongmen, devouring their Souls, and then looted the Jin Family Treasure Vault completely.

Afterwards, Ye Liuyun led everyone onto a Flying Boat, watching the Corpse Demon Army from afar. The Corpse Demon Army had been reduced by almost half, yet it still pursued the Jin Family relentlessly.

In the end, the Jin Family Clan Chief, helpless, could only order everyone to disperse.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense saw clearly, so he commanded the Corpse Demon Army to chase toward the direction where the Jin Family's elite youths were.

The Jin Family Clan Chief was on the brink of madness. With no other choice, he rallied everyone to fight the Corpse Demons head‑on. Those elite youths are the Jin Family's hope!

Ye Liuyun also did not release the Skeleton Puppet again. Without its support this time, the Corpse Demon Army was finally annihilated by them.

He sensed that among the Jin Family's ranks were a few elders who seemed to have no realm at all, blending into the group. Those elders, if not looked at closely, would go unnoticed.

That indicates those people's realms are strong; if they join forces, the Skeleton Puppet would be at a disadvantage. They hadn't acted before, perhaps out of fear of the Skeleton Puppet, or they were waiting for a chance to land a killing blow.

Thus Ye Liuyun directly piloted the Flying Boat, left, and returned to the Western Region, letting Hell Mingshe rebuild a fifty‑thousand‑strong Corpse Demon Army.

Wu Qingcheng, Lin Feier and the others were on the verge of laughing madly. One Jin Family Treasure Vault is richer than a hundred Xiao Families; its resources are simply abundant!

Just the Crystal Stones given to Lin Feier made her feel she was already a rich person!
