Chapter 3464: No Need to Instigate

With the information from Wan Shi Tong's Sea of Knowledge, Chen Yueying finally understood the whole process of being deceived, and the tricks Wan Shi Tong used on her made her feel extremely terrified when she thought about them.

"I'm really so stupid! You saw it all along? Why didn't you warn me?"

After she understood, Chen Yueying asked Ye Liuyun.

"I did warn you, but you were already deluded and didn't realize I was warning you!" Ye Liuyun still spoke to her very calmly.

He simply told Chen Yueying: "This is already the second time I've saved you! Treasure this chance; I don't have many opportunities to protect you on the scene! If you continue to trust others so blindly in the future, death is inevitable!"

Ye Liuyun immediately ordered Wan Shi Tong's avatar to hand over all the resources he had previously obtained.

Within the Space World of Wan Shi Tong's avatar were all the resources of that bandit squad; Ye Liuyun found it convenient, not having to go to their stronghold, and instantly acquired all their resources.

Wan Shi Tong's Soul was immediately devoured by him. Wan Shi Tong had already notified his subordinates, who are now rushing here to hunt them down; they must find a way to avoid these Mercenary bandits.

He simply used his Red Eye to cast an illusion, making a native minor leader think Wan Shi Tong had betrayed them; after killing the person who attacked them, he also captured many of their tribespeople. Then Ye Liuyun had Peng Lie and others release that leader, letting him return to report.

"Hope the natives can have a fierce battle with these Mercenaries, so we can reap the benefits like fishermen!"

Ye Liuyun also didn't know whether the remaining Mercenaries and those natives would fall for it; he guessed that the Mercenaries now already know that Wan Shi Tong was killed by him. With Wan Shi Tong dead, the contracts in their Sea of Consciousness will disappear.

Whether those Mercenaries will now avenge him or clash with the natives, he will have to see how the situation unfolds.

Chen Yueying stood silently aside, privately reviewing her mistakes, regretting that she was too quick to trust others, being sold out and still counting money for them. Fortunately, Ye Liuyun was protecting her; otherwise she would have been doomed this time!

If she falls into these people's hands, it's uncertain whether she can be rescued, but if she is defiled by them, her life would be worse than death! So just thinking about it now fills her with dread.

Ye Liuyun recalled Peng Lie and the others, discovering that his own side was still intact, no one had died in battle, while all the Mercenaries were dead.

"Clean up the battlefield; leave the corpses for the Monster Beast! You all go back and hurry to recover, preparing for the next battle."

Ye Liuyun gathered them all into the Space World, then let the captured native Martial Cultivators guide the way, rushing toward the native tribe.

The native Martial Cultivators he captured numbered over thirty, all at the Third or Fourth Layer realms. Their strength was actually not weak.

He fully unleashed his Divine Sense, searching for the whereabouts of those Mercenaries and other native Martial Cultivators; if he encountered them on the way, he would see whether there was a chance to stir up conflict between the two sides.

They did not charge directly into the native tribe; instead they waited at a distance outside the tribe, observing the natives' reactions.

Earlier, during Soul Search, some ordinary local Martial Cultivators also didn't know where their Clan Chief had hidden the phoenix flame, but they could confirm that they had indeed witnessed that terrifying flame before.

Their tribe also possessed a precious treasure, hidden within their totemic tiger head, held by the Clan Chief.

At this moment, the native tribe's Clan Chief was gathering all the tribe's Martial Cultivators, preparing for battle.

Ye Liuyun also saw their tiger-head totem. Using his Golden Pupil, he examined it closely and discovered that within the tiger head was a jade divine bone.

"No wonder the local Martial Cultivators treat it as a precious treasure; it truly is a body-refining artifact!"

Ye Liuyun was already pondering in his mind how to seize that treasure.

But their Clan Chief kept holding the tiger head; he would have to wait for an opportunity.

Their Clan Chief, although only at the Taixu Sixth Layer, Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil discovered that this chief is not only physically...

strong, his True Essence is actually very condensed, his Divine Soul Power is not inferior to ordinary Martial Cultivators; he can be said to be the strongest in their tribe, and likely not easy to deal with.

Meanwhile, those Mercenary bandits were also leaderless. Several heads gathered together to discuss what to do.

One head suggested: "This time we've offended the disciples of the Thousand Spirits Sect and the Heavenly King's daughter. Even with any connections, we probably can't stay here any longer.

But all our resources are in the boss's hands, likely unrecoverable. In my view, we should rob the local natives, grab some resources, then immediately disperse to avoid retaliation."

This suggestion was unanimously approved.

"Let's do it this way: we all charge together, grab whatever we can, and attack anyone we see!"

Thus the bandits gathered together, marching grandly toward the native tribe to kill.

Ye Liuyun saw that the two sides started fighting as soon as they met, which was somewhat unexpected.

"Well, that's perfect; I don't need to stir the pot, they started fighting each other on their own!"

So he had his own team keep a distance, while he himself merged into the void, observing the battle from afar.

As soon as the two sides clashed, the native tribe suffered losses.

These natives are not adept at launching Spiritual Soul Attacks. The Mercenaries immediately exploited this, capturing many native Martial Cultivators, causing the natives to be unable to distinguish which among them were their own and which were controlled by the Mercenaries.

Thus the first few squads the natives sent were completely wiped out, and many were captured by the Mercenaries, bolstering the Mercenaries' strength.

However, later the native Martial Cultivators grew stronger, and their numbers also held an advantage; in a siege, they killed more than half of the Mercenaries.

Yet the strong native Martial Cultivators also suffered heavy losses; both sides can be said to have been mutually devastated.

In the final battle, they met in front of the native tribe.

Those Mercenary heads didn't care about casualties at all. Since they intended to disperse after grabbing whatever they could, if they eliminated

the native Clan Chief was worried that continuing the fight would greatly diminish their strength, so he prepared to negotiate.

"The previous incidents arose because Wan Shi Tong betrayed us! Now the misunderstandings are cleared, and since it doesn't involve you, we can still continue cooperating.

Our current strengths are comparable; there's no need to force a mutually destructive clash, right?"

The native Clan Chief stepped forward, trying to directly persuade those bandit heads to cease.

But those bandits had already made up their minds at this moment. Having lost so many subordinates, if they didn't continue fighting, they would have no explanation.

Thus the few of them immediately launched a Spiritual Soul Attack together toward the native Clan Chief.
