Chapter 3829: Subduing the War Slaves

"They always serve as sparring partners for the disciples, so their combat experience is naturally richer!" the Dean explained disdainfully. He still looked down on these war slaves in his heart.

In the eyes of these people, war slaves are even lower than Monster Beasts; their price is not as high as Monster Beasts, just cheap slaves.

But at this moment, Ye Liuyun had another plan in mind.

From the war slaves' perspective, whether they fight or not, death is inevitable. So whenever they get a chance to strike at the Golden Wind Sect, they throw themselves into it with the mindset of killing one to be enough, killing two to profit one. For them, a glorious death is a kind of release.

If these war slaves can be organized to rebel against the Golden Wind Sect together, perhaps no troops need be dispatched. After all, overthrowing the Golden Wind Sect would also secure freedom and hope for them.

He stared at the war slaves for a while and found that they all obeyed a single commander, did not fight independently, and were highly united.

As they killed more Golden Wind Sect disciples, their weapons and equipment increased, and their combat power grew stronger.

Each time they killed a Golden Wind Sect disciple, whoever obtained that disciple's resources immediately distributed them to everyone, using the resources right away without any saving.

For them, today might be their last day; a slight boost in combat power could allow them to kill one more Golden Wind Sect disciple.

After the battle had lasted for a while, the Clone Puppet, accompanied by the Demon King and Bà Tiān, began driving Golden Wind Sect disciples toward the back mountain. Lei Ming's Monster Beasts and the war slaves, in two leading squads, charged ahead and stopped before the valley in the back mountain.

Inside the valley, about a thousand disciples had been forced in. The outer rim of the valley had already been sealed by Skeleton Soldiers, leaving no escape.

The outer sect's shouts of battle gradually subsided. Over at Ye Tiandao's side, the fight went smoothly, encountering little resistance, with minimal casualties, and they captured over two thousand outer sect disciples, now clearing the battlefield.

Ye Liuyun arrived at the valley mouth accompanied by the Dean and Elders. The war slaves were discussing with Lei Ming and others, saying they could help fight, even without any resources.

Lei Ming dared not make a decision and could only wait for Ye Liuyun to decide.

When Ye Liuyun appeared with those Elders, the war slaves grew nervous again, not knowing which side he belonged to.

"Chi Lian, Little Witch, I've brought the people to you; act now, give me the Soul," Ye Liuyun said, not wanting them to misunderstand, and directly ordered Chi Lian to act.

He and Chi Lian coordinated, draining these people's bloodlines, collecting their Souls into the Soul Refining Cauldron, then the dragon beast immediately extracted the Core Pills from the corpses.

Seeing this, the war slaves finally relaxed about Ye Liuyun.

The leading war slave asked Ye Liuyun, "Who are you, and why are you exterminating the Golden Wind Sect?"

"We are from beyond the domain, aiming to seize this Xing Xi. This is also an opportunity for you war slaves; shall we cooperate?" Ye Liuyun asked directly.

The war slave shook his head: "Being enslaved by outsiders isn't necessarily better than the Golden Wind Sect. You fight your own battles; we won't join!"

Ye Liuyun smiled, thinking this war slave actually had some skill to see so far ahead.

He patiently explained: "We've already taken several Xing Xi; we can't fully control this Golden Wind Xing Xi. After we seize it, we'll let you war slaves manage it. Then you can turn the tables. All you need to do is be loyal to our dynasty and pay a ten percent tax."

"Just these terms?" the man seemed somewhat surprised.

Ye Liuyun continued: "We are currently only surrounding our own Xing Xi, building a circle of safety around it, with no other major demands. Perhaps we will expand outward a few more rings in the future."

"The Golden Wind Xing Xi is a must-have for us; with or without your help, we will take it. With your assistance, our casualties will be smaller, and I also hope that later you will manage this Xing Xi yourself, as we lack the energy to intervene much."

The man thought it over, feeling there was nothing deceptive about them; they merely wanted to use them for fighting.

Even without Ye Liuyun exploiting them, they would still try to kill Golden Wind Sect disciples as much as possible. It might be better to trust Ye Liuyun once; perhaps everything he says is true.

"Can you promise, after conquering the Golden Wind Sect, to abolish the war slave system and reduce taxes for the populace? Dare you sign the Divine Soul Contract?" he asked Ye Liuyun again.

"The people here are so poor they have nothing left; what else can be plundered!" Ye Liuyun laughed: "Of course I can promise the demands you raised, and the specific details will be set by you later. I will send people to guide you on how to manage the dynasty."

"Signing the Divine Soul Contract is also possible; I can represent our dynasty, but you can only represent these people, not all war slaves!"

The man, hearing this, also decisively said: "Although I cannot represent all war slaves, I understand their thoughts. I can sign a contract with you and persuade the other war slaves."

"Alright, to prove my sincerity, I can sign a contract with you. Just do your best!" Ye Liuyun also agreed.

But the man asked: "You only have so few of you? These forces might…"

He thought that although Ye Liuyun's group was strong, against the Golden Wind Sect they were clearly outnumbered.

"We are only the vanguard!" Ye Liuyun did not display the Skeleton Soldiers, just wanted to see his reaction.

The man gritted his teeth and no longer hesitated. If they didn't cooperate with Ye Liuyun's group, they might later be encircled by the Golden Wind Sect and all perish, so better to gamble now.

"I am Lin Feng! Let's sign the Divine Soul Contract, so my brothers have hope!"

Actually his request to sign the contract was also to make most people believe Ye Liuyun. Otherwise he would have agreed long ago; after all it's a death, he has nothing to care about.

"Ye Liuyun!"

Ye Liuyun also gave his name, signing a simple Divine Soul Contract with Lin Feng.

"What about those scattered remnants inside?" Lin Feng immediately asked Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun told Lin Feng: "The Golden Wind Sect's pests are rotten to the core. So whenever we fight them, we follow one principle: leave none…"

"I agree!" Lin Feng instantly expressed his consent.

Ye Liuyun hadn't finished his sentence; he still wanted to say that keeping these people would affect future management, etc. But seeing Lin Feng agree, he didn't bother.

He directly let the Clone Puppet, Chi Lian and Little Witch go in, and with the Magic Vine's cooperation, they gradually collected the resources inside, piece by piece.
