Chapter 3598: Complete Trust

"Aren't you all worried we can't hold the line?" she asked Tang Xinyao and Chen Yueying.

Tang Xinyao, with the Metal Puppet, was concentrating on the enemy and had no time to pay attention to her.

"Just rest assured! Moreover, in this situation, overthinking is useless; just fight with all your might!" Chen Yueying reminded her.

At this moment, Ye Liuyun, cooperating with the Sealing Demon Tablet, had already held off an attack from a Demon Cultivator.

At the same time, Lei Ming, the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon, and the Demon Lion each defended a direction, while Ye Liuyun's Mountain Cat and Flying Swallow assisted the slightly weaker Demon Lion.

The Nine-Headed Demon Dragon wielded a ninth‑grade Demon Blade in one hand and a world‑ending Black Lotus in the other, and possessed the Special Eye Pupil of Black and White Light; moreover, Qiong Qi, bearing a Crimson Sword, guarded beside the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon, so those Demon Cultivators could not get near it at all.

The Demon Beast and Zhenmo Tower beside Lei Ming were the strongest among the three Monster Beasts. She was responsible for guarding Tang Xinyao's side. With the Metal Puppet by Tang Xinyao's side, their position was the safest.

"So he had already arranged everything!" Li Qianjiao felt ashamed inside, thinking she shouldn't have doubted Ye Liuyun's decisions. Every time she doubted Ye Liuyun's choices, it later proved she was wrong.

She looked again at the surrounding Monster Beasts; even those of low realms were fighting desperately.

She suddenly felt that Ye Liuyun genuinely cared for these Monster Beasts, and they completely trusted Ye Liuyun, never doubting his words. They acted without a second thought.

Earlier she had seen Ye Liuyun stay with Shi Yuan for so long and even discard his own weapon, thinking he was overly partial to them. But now she realized their feelings were mutual.

Even Qiong Qi, though verbally complaining about Shi Yuan, helped as much as possible in battle and never held a grudge. Shi Yuan held no grudges at all, because he never took it to heart.

"Among these people, they completely trust each other! To get close to Ye Liuyun, you must achieve that!" Li Qianjiao thought to herself.

The reason her relationship with Ye Liuyun had become closer was that she had unintentionally fought desperately for Ye Liuyun twice, earning his reciprocation.

Thinking of this, she decided that from now on whatever Ye Liuyun says would be followed without overthinking. So she fought, becoming even more focused and committed.

Ye Liuyun and his group kept fighting, and their defensive line gradually began to contract.

"Close in on me!" Ye Liuyun at this moment told everyone to gather around him.

After fighting for a while, he estimated that everyone's True Essence had been almost exhausted.

When the others drew near, Ye Liuyun shouted to Lei Ming, "Lei Ming, release them!"

"Alright!"

Lei Ming replied with a nod, releasing the dozens of Demon Cultivator elites she had just trapped in the Zhenmo Tower, shielding them within, allowing their own people to rest for a while.

At this time, the enemy still had at least half of their Demon Cultivators left. However, their combat strength had waned. After their Dark Rudder was eliminated, the remaining Demon Cultivators' morale dropped significantly.

Now Ye Liuyun's side suddenly released over fifty elites, further sapping their will to fight. With the retreat route cut off, escape was impossible, so they could only surrender.

If they surrendered, they would have to risk their lives for Ye Liuyun, opposing Duanmu Tang, so they felt it was a death either way and merely tried to hold on.

Once those proud Demon Cultivators were exterminated, the remaining ones would soon all surrender.

Sure enough, after more Demon Cultivators were killed, the rest could no longer hold on and dropped their weapons to surrender.

Ye Liuyun showed no courtesy, subduing them all. He then singled out the more than thirty weaker Demon Cultivators, feeding them to the Sealing Demon Tablet and Evergreen Vine, even borrowing light from Li Qianjiao's Evergreen Vine. The corpses in Xingkong were also split among the three.

The others were taken by Ye Liuyun into the Space World to return and recover their strength.

Ye Liuyun calculated the strength of those in his hands and immediately dispatched a Flying Boat,

rushing straight toward the Dark Rudder of Duanmu Tang, that is, the planet where Duanmu Xin had landed last time.

Duanmu Xin sent people to cause trouble for him, and he couldn't ignore it. Moreover, having just captured so many prisoners, his strength surged, and he certainly intended to make full use of them.

He employed his own ninth‑grade Flying Boat, so in less than two days he arrived at that planet.

He put the six to seven hundred captured Demon Cultivators to use, uniformly outfitting them in Mercenary gear and armor for easy identification, then led them to directly assault Duanmu Xin's residence.

Duanmu Xin was at this moment fully devoted to restoring his realm. He had drawn some high‑end resources from the Demon Race, barely allowing him to regain Ninth Realm strength, but future breakthroughs would be unlikely.

Yet he had only recovered to the Taixu Liu Chong realm. When Ye Liuyun's forces assaulted his Cultivation Room, he was extremely impatient.

"Roar!"

He let out a roar inside the Cultivation Room, intimidating the Demon Cultivators outside, but found it was of no use.

When he used Divine Sense to look outside, he discovered that the Mercenaries had actually surrounded his training site.

"Ye Liuyun is back?"

Duanmu Xin, frightened, immediately stopped his cultivation.

All his expressions and actions were already observed by Ye Liuyun from afar, as if watching a play, waiting to see how he would respond.

Duanmu Xin thought for a moment, realizing the Formation of the Cultivation Room couldn't hold those people for long. Moreover, surrounded by so many Mercenaries, he couldn't break out.

So he took a treasure from the Space World, clenched his teeth with a sinister grin, and walked out holding the treasure.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil saw clearly; it was a wholly red medicinal herb, but he did not recognize it.

He immediately asked Li Qianjiao and the Alchemists, learning that it was a priceless treasure called Xue Ling Shen, the best resource for cultivating blood veins. Moreover, judging from Ye Liuyun's description, its size was considerable, indicating great age and high value.

"What does this guy mean, preparing to surrender by offering a treasure? But his look doesn't seem like that; it looks more like he wants to die together with me."

Ye Liuyun speculated internally, still not rushing his subordinates to act, but waiting to see what Duanmu Xin would do.

"Ye Liuyun, let me go, and I'll give you this Xue Ling Shen directly! It's a ten‑thousand‑year Xue Ling Shen that can instantly raise a person's blood vein several grades!" After emerging, Duanmu Xin began bargaining with Ye Liuyun.

"Fine! Bring that Xue Ling Shen over yourself and surrender!"

Ye Liuyun wasn't worried about his deceit. He was only at the Sixth Layer, and Ye Liuyun wasn't afraid he could harm him.

However, he still prepared to activate Time Power at any moment, just in case. Recently the transcoding has been severe, giving us more motivation, faster updates; please click a little to exit reading mode. Thank you.
