Chapter 3411: Heart of Vengeance

Ye Liuyun hadn't expected that his good‑hearted rescue would cost him so much; he immediately released his Divine Sense, searched for Zhao Yuanpei's whereabouts, and vowed to avenge his fallen brothers.

But he discovered that Zhao Yuanpei and the others hadn't run far before being surrounded by some strongmen, and now only eight guards remained by his side.

However, Xiao Han's squad was also rushing over from afar, so he no longer had a chance to act against Zhao Yuanpei.

"You bastard, you're lucky this time; next time I'll take your dog life!"

Ye Liuyun muttered a curse under his breath and immediately sealed the captured strongmen, prisoners, and the golden dragon into the Space World.

However, he didn't rush to aid Zhao Yuanpei; instead, he ordered the remaining soldiers to clean the battlefield, while he and Qi Tianlin went to check Chen Mo's injuries.

After Chen Mo swallowed a drop of Life Spring Water, he managed to claw back his life. But Qin Yuan and Qiang Shi were completely dead.

Ye Liuyun, Qi Tianlin, and Liao Yaotian all felt that the two brothers had died a bitter, unjust death.

"Alas! Our soldiers' lives are worth nothing in the eyes of these bigwigs!" Qi Tianlin couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't be discouraged; this world still respects strength. Being looked down upon now is because we're weak. Once we become stronger, we can trample these scum underfoot!" Ye Liuyun encouraged him.

Afterward, he had Liao Yaotian and Qi Tianlin retrieve Qin Yuan's and Qiang Shi's Storage Rings, since resources shouldn't be wasted.

He piled the remaining corpses together, and Ye Liuyun set them ablaze, burning them to ashes.

At this time, Xiao Han's massive force arrived, and the Martial Cultivators that had been besieging Zhao Yuanpei finally dispersed.

Xiao Han ordered someone to send Zhao Yuanpei back, and also brought a squad of soldiers to fetch Ye Liuyun and his group.

Seeing Ye Liuyun and the others' expressions of sorrow and anger, and noting that only eight of them remained, he realized their losses were severe this time.

"No problem, if people are lost I'll replace them for you!" Xiao Han comforted Ye Liuyun.

【7】 Liao Yaotian could no longer hold back and finally recounted what had happened.

Liao Yaotian couldn't hold back any longer and finally told what had happened.

Xiao Han hadn't expected this situation, no wonder Ye Liuyun's face looked so grim. If it were a ordinary battle casualty, Ye Liuyun wouldn't have been so silent.

But regarding this matter, he was also helpless. Even the army's Grand Leader Hao Tai dared not offend Zhao Yuanpei, so they had no right to speak.

He didn't know how to counsel Ye Liuyun, so he just patted his shoulder and led them to rejoin the main army, returning to the camp.

He had no idea that Ye Liuyun was vengeful. Zhao Yuanpei had already made it onto Ye Liuyun's death list. However, Zhao Yuanpei himself didn't know this; he returned to Hao Tai's main camp with the few remaining guards.

Hao Tai felt distressed seeing so many guards dead, but he did not show it; he merely inquired about the situation.

But after Zhao Yuanpei escaped, he basically stopped paying attention to Ye Liuyun and the others, so Hao Tai had to go find Xiao Han again to ask about Ye Liuyun and the others' life or death.

After Xiao Han reported the situation, he learned that Ye Liuyun was unharmed. Moreover, with just over fifty Taixu First Rank soldiers, they rescued Zhao Yuanpei, annihilated the opponents, and only ten men returned.

Although Zhao Yuanpei didn't pay attention, he could report the situation to Zhao Yu'an, lavishly praising Ye Liuyun and even exaggerating Ye Liuyun's strong Bloodline Power and other traits.

As a marquis, Zhao Yu'an naturally understood what Hao Tai meant. Yet an ordinary soldier could only make a minor impression this time, not enough for him to value.

Therefore, he simply said that Ye Liuyun's rescue of Zhao Yuanpei was meritorious, his performance in the army was outstanding, and he should receive a great reward, and then he left it at that.

Hao Tai also knew he couldn't rush; he needed Ye Liuyun to show his face a few more times for the Marquis to remember him. The Marquis already had an impression and even knew he had saved his son, which was already not bad.

Afterward, he again had someone have Xiao Han and Ye Liuyun first

Then they were both called over.

Regarding Xiao Han, he simply said that Xiao Han's training under him could end now; the next step would be a Hundred‑thousand‑level Leader.

"After this sweep is finished, your battle merits will be sufficient; you can consider becoming a Hundred‑thousand‑level Leader. My little shrine will soon be too small to house a deity like you.

In the upcoming battle, as long as you proceed steadily and make no mistakes, there won't be any major problems. I will continue to let you serve as the vanguard and earn more military merit.

"As long as you fight steadily without mistakes, there will be no major problems. I will continue to let you be the vanguard, earning more battle merits. You should also have the princess help arrange your next destination!"

Hao Tai was reminding Xiao Han to start making preparations in advance.

Xiao Han also understood that there was no longer any room for him here; if he stayed any longer, Hao Tai would have to make space for him.

"Then may I take a few soldiers with me?" Xiao Han had to ask Hao Tai.

"You want to take Ye Liuyun away?" Hao Tai asked with a smile.

"Uh... you also noticed him?" Xiao Han hadn't expected that Hao Tai had indeed taken notice of Ye Liuyun.

"Haha, such talent I certainly keep an eye on; otherwise why let him scout for the whole army and give him so many opportunities to earn merit?" Hao Tai laughed.

But he immediately added to Xiao Han: "Someone like Ye Liuyun can't be kept by you. Even I can't hold onto him, let alone you now."

Now you're still unstable yourself and can't take him along. With you, he lacks sufficient resources and combat opportunities.

Stop overthinking; when you grow, you'll have many chances to attract talent. As for Ye Liuyun, you can first...

"Alright then!" Xiao Han, seeing Hao Tai say that, could only agree.

Then he used a Transmission Talisman to contact his mother, Princess Changxiao, asking her to arrange his next move in advance, transferring him to another army as a Hundred‑thousand‑level Vice Leader.

After finishing his own arrangements, Xiao Han thought of Ye Liuyun and asked Hao Tai again: "After I leave, what about Ye Liuyun..."

Hao Tai then laughed and said: "That's right, he will take your place, first as a leader of ten thousand, and then I will look for an opportunity to promote him."

His current realm is still a bit low; he can still refine for a while, and later I'll recommend him to the higher‑ups.

Xiao Han nodded, thanked Hao Tai, then left the central army's main tent, preparing to continue leading troops to suppress bandits.

When Hao Tai met with Ye Liuyun, he first praised his achievements, then expressed his intention to promote him, saying he had high hopes for Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun also quickly thanked Hao Tai. He is now only a minor Leader, so being promoted by the Grand Leader, he naturally must show gratitude and loyalty.

The reason Hao Tai didn't directly state the outcome was probably because he was observing his attitude; Ye Liuyun understood this quite clearly.
