Chapter 3406: Battle Opportunities

After President Hao Tai of the stationed army discovered Ye Liuyun's astonishing strength, he was also trying to find a way to keep Ye Liuyun Ye Liuyun in the army for the long term.

Otherwise, with Ye Liuyun's strength, his hiding would certainly be impossible, and sooner or later others would discover him.

After pondering, he thought that in the long run Ye Liuyun still couldn't be retained, so it would be better to simply promote Ye Liuyun and then recommend him to some big figures, which would also pave the way for his own future.

Hao Tai was calculating in his mind. But it was too peaceful here, with no chance of any major battle.

While he was worrying, he suddenly received an order from Zhao Yu'an: fifteen new disciples of the Qian Ling Sect and a Sect Elder had gone missing while training on an exile Xingqiu, and before disappearing a disciple had sent a plea for help.

The female disciple who sent the plea was Zhao Yu'an's daughter Zhao Yupei. Zhao Yu'an ordered him to be sure to dispatch troops to exterminate the bandits on the exile Xingqiu and retrieve Zhao Yupei.

The Xingqiu where Zhao Yu'an resides is also the location of the Qian Ling Sect, and it also happens to be Hao Tai's direct superior; originally Hao Tai was transferred from Zhao Yu'an's territory to be stationed here, so he is the one handling these matters.

Hao Tai kept answering affirmatively while secretly rejoicing, thinking that he had been worried about having no chance to deploy troops in large numbers, and now he had an excuse.

He immediately ordered someone to find Xiao Han. Xiao Han's background is not simple; he is the younger son of their Western Region Heavenly King's sister, Princess Changxiao, who came here specifically for secret training.

Since he wanted to return the favor, he simply also took Xiao Han along.

After Xiao Han arrived, learning of the anti-bandit mission, he gladly accepted, feeling it was a good chance to train the troops and cooperate with the soldiers.

So without a word, he immediately went back to transmit the order.

Ye Liuyun was thinking that after the contest, he would take Meng Yunshan to that uninhabited Xingqiu to explore, searching for some high‑end cultivation resources, but now he couldn't go.

Since the whole army was to go, he naturally couldn't leave on his own. Moreover, to be fair, this trouble was caused by him.

"Since we can't leave for now, let's go practice against the bandits again and strive to break through the First Realm as soon as possible!"

Ye Liuyun also made a decision: after this round of tempering, before heading to the uninhabited Xingqiu, he would raise his realm a bit, enhancing his strength further to better face danger.

After Xiao Han returned, he would certainly first brief Ye Liuyun, Liao Yaotian, and Chen Mo, and have the three of them go to each camp to convey the orders.

This time they went, and the soldiers recognized them; moreover, each Leader's attitude toward them was good, knowing that the few of them were not weak, and they did not make things difficult, immediately gathering the troops.

This time Hao Tai dispatched ten thousand-man squads, not just Xiao Han's squad; each squad headed in a different direction. Xiao Han's squad took the central route, where they would encounter the most bandits, so the combat pressure would certainly be high.

It wasn't Xiao Han who volunteered; Hao Tai deliberately arranged it, intentionally creating more battle opportunities for them.

Before Xiao Han's team left the city, they also specially gave Ye Liuyun a chance to earn merit.

He assigned the thirty‑two soldiers participating in the contest to be led by Ye Liuyun, making them a scouting team to go out and gather information, and they could also strike when the chance arose.

Ye Liuyun's previous strength was evident to all, so these people felt at ease following him.

When the main army left the city, this squad went out first to scout.

Not far away, Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense and Golden Pupil spotted more than ten bandit squads ambushed in a mountain hollow, resting; they were likely small groups that frequently robbed this area.

After observing the bandits' strength, Ye Liuyun immediately decided to lead everyone into action. He detailed the bandits' capabilities and, based on each person's traits, assigned everyone a target to strike.

The others, seeing that he could detect the bandits from such a distance and that the arrangements were very reasonable, immediately agreed, then split into two squads and surrounded them.

Ye Liuyun and Qi Tianlin were the first to act, using Spatial Power and swift footwork to quickly approach their scouts, before the scouts discovered them.

They launched a Spiritual Soul Attack before the scouts could notice them, wiping them out.

Then the two squads charged forward, surrounding them. Everyone followed the prior assignments, targeting their respective opponents, and easily captured all the remaining bandits alive.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil and Divine Sense probed the bandits' strength with great accuracy, so the assigned opponents were precisely those who could counter the bandits.

Only one bandit produced a treasure for defense, exceeding Ye Liuyun's expectations, but he immediately used a Shock Soul Wave, stunning the opponent and preventing the treasure from taking effect.

That opponent's Martial Cultivator was the sword‑wielding Martial Cultivator Ye Liuyun had previously faced, named Qin Yuan; grateful for Ye Liuyun's rescue, he voluntarily handed the treasure to Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun asked, discovered that Qin Yuan had no life‑saving treasure in hand, and immediately gave the treasure to Qin Yuan for his own protection.

At that point, these people admired Ye Liuyun even more. Not only his strength and leadership, but also his character—remaining unmoved by the treasure—earned their sincere admiration.

Ye Liuyun and his group stored the captured bandits in Storage Rings, then continued forward, using Transmission Talismans to report their movements and results to Xiao Han.

Later, they encountered several small bandit squads, achieving total victories with no casualties.

Xiao Han's confidence in Ye Liuyun's command grew, and leading the main army behind, he felt a bit bored, even wanting to personally fight alongside Ye Liuyun.

However, as a Leader he cannot leave the main army; otherwise, if something went wrong, he would have no excuse when returning.

Ye Liuyun's group of over thirty coordinated to the end; with Ye Liuyun's meticulous planning, they could even eliminate a bandit group of more than fifty.

In this battle, he employed a Golden Dragon Puppet to protect a few slightly weaker soldiers, revealing a bit of his own power.

But the Void‑Tier Fourth‑grade treasure wasn't that rare and didn't cause much shock.

After each battle, Ye Liuyun allocated resources evenly based on individual merit, not being greedy; he also prioritized crafting life‑saving treasures for those without any.

Thus, his squad grew more convinced of Ye Liuyun. Their actual combat power also rose rapidly.

The harvest was abundant; they not only captured many bandits but also shared many seized resources, and everyone felt fortunate that following Ye Liuyun was the right choice.

As their battles increased, their coordination grew tighter, mutual trust deepened, and eventually they could completely entrust their backs to each other.

Their relationships, forged by fighting side by side, have become seamless. Recently the code conversion has been intense, giving us more motivation to update faster; please click to exit reading mode. Thank you.
