Chapter 3337: Collecting Planets

Black Mountain didn't rush to pull back his forces, but instead immediately reorganized the newly surrendered soldiers on the spot.

Jiang Yuanhai's side also went smoothly; they finally encircled the remaining Demon Race soldiers, then Black Mountain led sixty thousand Demon Race soldiers to charge in and persuade surrender, capturing more than fifty thousand prisoners.

However, Black Mountain screened them, keeping only a little over twenty thousand, and killed the weaker ones outright, using them as cultivation resources.

All the spoils on the battlefield could only be used by Demon Race soldiers, so they were handed over to Black Mountain's troops to clean up the field.

Only then did Ye Liuyun release Li Xinghai and the Li Family disciples, letting them see the battlefield situation.

"The Demon Race army has been annihilated by us. So far fewer than twenty thousand have fled; after we regroup, we will continue to pursue them."

"The Seal‑Imperial Dynasty has also been wiped out by me. They offered no resistance against the Demon Race, forcing other Martial Cultivators to die, while they tried to escape with resources. Such a dynasty, you may as well discard it."

"All the Xingqiu the Demon Race previously seized, I will claim; the remaining Xingqiu I will leave untouched, enough for the survivors among you. This Xing Xi is temporarily safe now; you can also find a place to reestablish your home!"

Ye Liuyun explained the whole sequence of events to Li Xinghai, and let them depart on their own.

Li Xinghai did not expect that the Demon Race army, once thought invincible, now lay dead on the ground with tens of thousands of soldiers surrendering.

When they later saw the three hundred thousand troops under Ye Liuyun, they were even more shocked.

"All the soldiers are actually above Guiyi Ninth Layer," the Li Family disciples exclaimed in astonishment.

Some disciples even grew curious about the Fire Seal Xing Xi: "What kind of Xing Xi is this Fire Seal Xing Xi?"

Ye Liuyun casually told them, "The Fire Seal Xing Xi is now even worse than you; the remaining Xingqiu are fewer than yours, almost completely wiped out by the Demon Race!"

"Huh? Such strong soldiers still can't defeat the Demon Race?" the disciples found it hard to believe.

Ye Liuyun smiled helplessly, "No matter how strong Martial Cultivators or soldiers are, without a good royal house to lead, they are just scattered sand!"

He didn't elaborate further with them, but went straight to Black Mountain to discuss how to exterminate the remaining Demon Race.

After thanking Ye Liuyun and taking his leave, Li Xinghai prepared to lead the Li Family disciples away.

Some disciples still didn't want to leave, wanting to keep following Ye Liuyun. They felt that with their abilities, trying to found a family would be too hard; they'd be safer staying with Ye Liuyun.

Li Xinghai rebuked them: "Nonsense, at your current realm, why remain? To be a drag? Look at his side—does he have anyone as low as your realm?"

"We could serve in the army! Even piloting a Flying Boat or helping move equipment would be fine!" some disciples argued.

Li Xinghai, irritated by their ignorance, twitched his beard: "At your level, which great army would take you?"

"Your realm gap is far too large; you are not even from the same world as them. You think you can swallow your pride and become a laborer, but to others your presence is a liability, and they'd have to protect you at crucial moments."

"Without strength, no one wants you as a servant or laborer, understand?"

Li Xinghai released a Flying Boat, shoved these disciples inside, and rushed them away, fearing they'd harass Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun, upon seeing them board the Flying Boat and leave, felt relieved. He had also heard the disciples' words, fearing they might come to plead with him.

Those people's strength is too low. Even if he accepted them, they'd only be tossed into the Space World, serving no real purpose.

As for the army, Li Xinghai was entirely right; even a menial role doesn't need people of such low realms.

Black Mountain at once took thirty thousand Demon Race soldiers, with the Second Clone leading them to chase the remaining Demon Race, while the Beast King stayed behind to reorganize.

The defeated fleeing Demon.

The Demon Race had launched Warships several times, all destroyed by the spiritual energy giant beast gathered by the First Clone. They couldn't escape, and with no one to turn to, they howled in anger.

Until Black Mountain arrived with thirty thousand Demon Race soldiers, they began preparing to fight again. Their Grand Leader's injuries hadn't healed, yet he still insisted on battling.

Resulting in both sides being killed before the battle even began, as Ye Liuyun's two clones acted together, shooting them down with bow and arrows. The Second Clone then led the female troops in a charge, killing nearly half of the remaining Demon Race, and then surrounded them.

Using a powerful crossbow they encircled them in the middle. Black Mountain also led Demon Race soldiers to charge in. The remaining Demon Race, seeing they were comrades, simply laid down their weapons and surrendered.

Black Mountain seized the Grand Leader's Storage Ring and found it packed with resources. These were the spoils they had captured and killed here, now belonging to Ye Liuyun's Demon Race army.

"With these resources, our realms can all be raised to Guiyi Eight Ninth Layer!" Black Mountain exclaimed excitedly.

"So that's good. After you finish reorganizing the army, hurry to cultivate; you won't need to fight for now!" the clone also agreed, leading the Demon Race army back for reorganization.

The Demon Race army now exceeds one hundred thousand, so Ye Liuyun once again mobilized the Kuailei, and after they improve their strength, these Kuailei will be of little use, perfect for the Death Legion to supplement high‑end combat power.

During this period, the Death Legion has been accelerating cultivation within the Second Clone's Space World; the soldiers' realms have already risen to Guiyi Fifth Layer. Yu Xiaofeng and the other four Leaders have all reached Guiyi Sixth Layer, lacking high‑end combat power…

He also had the artificers help, assembling ten thousand Kuailei. Among them, three thousand were at Guiyi Ninth Layer, seven thousand at Guiyi Eighth Layer, all clad in Zao Hua Realm armor.

Ye Liuyun and several clones took this time to go around with Monster Beasts, harvesting Xingqiu. He helped the Seal Xing Xi eliminate the Demon Race invasion, certainly needing to claim some resources, otherwise the battle would be in vain.

However, when they harvested Xingqiu, they encountered many returning Martial Cultivators. No matter how Ye Liuyun tried to explain, it made no sense.

Some even tried to moral‑blackmail Ye Liuyun, saying a good person should see it through, help and then leave, not seize their resources. Others even claimed Ye Liuyun was just like the Demon Race, after their resources.

Finally, Ye Liuyun grew tired of explaining; everything was settled by force—anyone who resisted was slain. After all, the returnees were few; most were on other Xingqiu, so the numbers wouldn't affect much.

Not only Ye Liuyun, even the Monster Beasts couldn't stand these local Martial Cultivators; when they acted, they were ruthless.
