Chapter 3332: Thinking Too Much

The Leader immediately had the Term (exclude) watch Ye Liuyun, and he went on to report upward. Then Ye Liuyun was taken to a slightly higher Leader to answer questions.

At this moment, he was already a bit impatient, and the Leader suspected him of being a traitor, sending people to investigate the Demon Race army while also interrogating Ye Liuyun and his party.

Thus he was too lazy to waste more words with them and scolded the Leader directly: "I've already explained the matter; I don't have time to repeat it. Go report directly to the highest Leader of your army and the Royal Court!"

The Leader let out a cold snort: "Hmph, our Grand Leader and the Royal Court aren't just there for you to see whenever you wish. Until your identity is confirmed, you can't go anywhere. I advise you to answer my questions honestly, lest you suffer flesh‑and‑blood torment!"

Ye Liuyun also knew that if he didn't show them a bit of power, they would keep investigating endlessly.

He instantly froze time, then used spiritual energy to condense a Thunder Dragon Beast. When he restored his Time Power, the Leader and the guards beside him were stunned dumb by the beast before them.

"Roar!" the Thunder Dragon Beast let out a mighty roar, its sound echoing clearly throughout the Royal City.

The massive body of the Thunder Dragon Beast overturned the big tent, visible from far away. With another roar, it was impossible for the army's Grand Leader and the Royal Court not to notice.

The Grand Leader who doubted him and the guards around him were shaken by that roar, their seven orifices bleeding, collapsing to the ground.

The camp fell into chaos; the Term (exclude) didn't know what had happened.

The Grand Leader of the Dynasty Army finally arrived with his troops, and from a distance shouted at Ye Liuyun: "Who dares cause trouble in the army? I am Grand Leader An Qing; do not harm my soldiers!"

The Royal Court immediately sent a few Elders to inspect the situation, assuming it was a surprise attack by enemy forces.

Ye Liuyun then withdrew the Thunder Dragon Beast and explained his purpose to them.

The people sent by the Royal Court promptly reported back to the Dynasty, requesting orders. The army's safety Leader immediately dispatched men to verify the Demon Race army's situation in Xingkong.

The Thunder Dragon Beast that Ye Liuyun released had already subdued them; they no longer dared to trouble Ye Liuyun, and their attitude was very courteous.

At this moment, the army's Leader An Qing hoped everything Ye Liuyun said was true, and especially hoped Ye Liuyun could help them. Even that newly released Thunder Dragon Beast could be of great use. After all, they were still very uncertain about confronting the Demon Race.

Soon, the first soldiers sent to scout reported that the Demon Race army was indeed missing a route; both sides' armies were rushing there, presumably to reinforce the defeated Demon Race force.

"Using the Demon Race against the Demon Race—that's a good idea!"

An Qing immediately praised the idea. He thought the Royal Court would now surely agree to let Ye Liuyun assist.

But after the Dynasty received confirmation, an order came stating that using the Demon Race army against the Demon Race would cause public panic.

They could handle the Demon Race army themselves; they were only caught off guard at first and had no need to cooperate with Ye Liuyun.

They even covertly transmitted an order to An Qing, instructing him to imprison Ye Liuyun to prevent him from allying with the Demon Race. If Ye Liuyun dared to resist, he would be slain outright.

When that order arrived, the people sent by the Dynasty withdrew immediately, fearing the battle's fallout, leaving only An Qing to smile awkwardly on the side.

He muttered inwardly against the Dynasty's order: "The Thunder Dragon Beast he just released was so powerful; if I try to act against him, the casualties would be huge!"

Nevertheless, he could not disobey the Dynasty's order and could only find a way to hold Ye Liuyun back.

He invited Ye Liuyun into the central army's big tent, citing a need to assess Ye Liuyun's forces to keep him steady, then covertly ordered troops to surround the central tent.

"Young Master Ye, the atmosphere feels a bit off!" even Li Xinghai noticed the Grand Leader's change in attitude.

Moreover, the Term (exclude) around them were in strict formation, clearly ready for battle.

Li Xing

Hai now worries deeply in his heart, fearing that the Imperial Seal Dynasty would first strike Ye Liuyun.

"Young Master Ye, shall we escape first?" he transmitted via Transmission Voice to Ye Liuyun, suggesting.

How could Ye Liuyun not see it? His Divine Sense could perceive the entire camp's movements.

Clearly, the Imperial Seal Royal Court was jealous of talent and fearful of his overwhelming strength, worrying that he might eventually usurp their throne. Moreover, they overthought, fearing that if he were rejected he would join forces with the Demon Race and turn against them.

As for their concern that the populace feared the Demon Race, that was merely an excuse. The people's lives couldn't even be saved, let alone worry about who would help them out of the predicament.

From the Grand Leader's attitude, it was clear they didn't oppose using the Demon Race against the Demon Race; on the contrary, they fully endorsed the method.

However, he didn't mind; those Dynasty troops could not hold him at all.

"If we flee early, the Dynasty will seize the pretext, label us as traitors, and we'll be even more indefensible. Rest assured, they can't stop me!" Ye Liuyun transmitted back to Li Xinghai.

He simply watched An Qing's performance patiently, waiting for the Dynasty to strike first. Afterwards, he would have an excuse to act against the Imperial Seal Dynasty.

An Qing had already mobilized the entire camp. Ye Liuyun possessed such a massive beast, carried over a hundred thousand Demon Race troops, and also Kuailei; he needed to be fully prepared.

Ye Liuyun, while chatting, deliberately asked: "Grand Leader An, is the outside army being redeployed?"

"Yes, yes! We were originally about to set out to the front line, and we just received the Dynasty's order to advance early." An Qing could only go along with Ye Liuyun's words.

"Your million‑strong army's strength is far behind that of the Demon Race! Its overall realm is three or four levels lower, and the soldiers' formations and combat awareness are clearly undertrained; they haven't even completed a drill after half a day!"

I think either you bolster your ranks with more troops as filler, or you only send elite units to ambush the Demon Race! Otherwise, once this million‑strong army is exhausted, recruiting more will be difficult.

When the Dynasty's morale drops and the Demon Race army accelerates, they'll soon be able to strike the Royal City.

Ye Liuyun's advice was indeed very sensible.

An Qing listened, clasped his fists in gratitude toward Ye Liuyun, and then remarked:

"Alas, we are merely Leaders, powerless to act! This Xing Xi is ruled solely by the Royal Court; we have made such suggestions, but they were never adopted!"

Ye Liuyun nodded in response, showing he understood An Qing's predicament, but that didn't mean his hand would be soft when they clashed. After all, once they engage, they become enemies.

He merely hinted to An Qing: "Honestly, your massive army can't even stop me alone, let alone block the Demon Race's five hundred thousand elite troops!"
