Chapter 3831: Direct Combat
Clone Kuailei and Chi Lian seized a lot of high‑grade resources; Chi Lian could no longer absorb them all, so kept distributing them to the other monster beasts, causing the beasts' strength to surge rapidly.
Ye Liuyun's soul‑cultivation resources finally accumulated enough for him to train for a while.
Lin Feng's war slave force expanded to two thousand, plus under three thousand Martial Cultivators of slightly lower realms.
Ye Liuyun had Ye Tiandao help Lin Feng reorganize; the war slave force ultimately retained a thousand Martial Cultivators whose realms were above the Eight‑fold Cave Heaven, and from the lower‑realm cultivators selected another thousand to form a unit that could assault the Outer Gate.
Thus the war slaves could rotate with the female soldiers, giving both groups ample rest, allowing the women to use the gathered resources to boost their strength.
"Change planet operation!" Ye Liuyun immediately called Lin Feng to set out again.
"We're heading to another Xingqiu, what about here? The Golden Wind Sect will soon send people to rebuild this place!" Lin Feng asked, a bit puzzled.
Ye Liuyun explained, "Just the few of us can't hold it. Staying here means facing wave after wave of Golden Wind Sect attacks; better we strike out, draw their attention, and make them chase us.
As long as we can tie up the Golden Wind Sect's energy and weaken their power, even if they try to rebuild they won't regain their former scale for a while. We'll take it back later!"
"Alright, I'll follow your lead!"
Lin Feng was reluctant to leave this Xingqiu, but he thought Ye Liuyun's reasoning sound; since they can't hold it, they must resort to guerrilla warfare.
Ye Liuyun also wanted to minimize losses, first weakening the Golden Wind Sect to a certain degree; otherwise, using Skeleton Soldiers to fight head‑on, the Golden Wind Sect would still be a tough opponent. Yet that would make them more passive and costly.
So they followed Ye Liuyun's plan, boarded the fastest Flying Boat, and rushed to another Xingqiu.
They didn't go to the neighboring Xingqiu but leapt toward a farther one, aiming to catch the Golden Wind Sect off guard.
Sure enough, the Golden Wind Sect was unprepared, and Ye Liuyun ambushed several of its sects.
This time, to speed things up, all the captives were sent straight into Space World, with Clone Kuailei taking the monster beasts in for gradual processing, while he and Lin Feng rushed toward the next target.
Before the Golden Wind Sect's reinforcements arrived, they cleared all the branches on one Xingqiu. Then they immediately turned to the surrounding Xingqiu.
The Golden Wind Sect's reinforcements this time swelled threefold, yet Ye Liuyun's Skeleton Soldiers wiped them out. Then, while the Golden Wind Sect was stunned, Ye Liuyun eliminated all the branches on that Xingqiu.
Ye Liuyun's group had gathered resources to the point of exhaustion; just from these battles they amassed huge amounts of cultivation resources and wealth.
Lin Feng's war slave army had swelled to nearly ten thousand, and the force tasked with exterminating the Outer Gate exceeded ten thousand as well.
"Split into two routes!" Ye Liuyun immediately divided his forces, sending Clone Kuailei with one, and he took the other, each attacking a different Xingqiu.
The monster beasts and Kuailei units also split into two squads and struck simultaneously.
At that moment the Golden Wind Sect realized this was a major disturbance caused by outsiders, so it immediately warned all its branches, ordered them to prepare for battle, activated a sect‑wide protective array, and mandated that sects on the same Xingqiu reinforce each other.
But those measures could not stop Ye Liuyun; the Golden Pupil's Technique swept through, breaking the mountain‑guard array. The reinforcing branches that arrived were like meat buns striking a dog—gone with no return.
Ye Liuyun and Clone Kuailei's two groups smoothly cleared ten Xingqiu.
The Golden Wind Sect finally could not endure, mobilized the whole sect, boarded Warships, and patrolled the Xingkong. Other branches also sent out their elite, deploying Flying Boats of all sizes to patrol the Xingkong.
Yet this still did not halt Ye Liuyun and Clone Kuailei's advance. They altered their appearances constantly,
seeking chances to ambush, giving the Golden Wind Sect a constant headache.
They were forced to relocate all branches back near the main star. Unexpectedly, just as the branches gathered, Ye Liuyun launched a frontal raid on them.
Ye Liuyun and Clone Kuailei, leading the war slave army, stormed in and slaughtered indiscriminately, forcing the entire Golden Wind Sect to retreat repeatedly, with countless Warships and Flying Boats lost.
In the end they paid the price of ten thousand war slaves, causing the Golden Wind Sect severe losses with over fifty thousand casualties. Those fifty thousand corpses were collected by Ye Liuyun's group, and the Storage Rings became their cultivation resources.
This battle gave the Golden Wind Sect insight, prompting them to gather their war slaves together, preparing to use a massive war slave army against Ye Liuyun's side.
But Ye Liuyun, Clone Kuailei, and Lin Feng's men infiltrated them, secretly building strength within. Before the army could form, a massive uprising erupted.
Hundreds of thousands of war slaves surged toward the gathering branches, causing utter carnage.
Ye Liuyun and Clone Kuailei seized the opportunity to take away the elite of the three hundred thousand war slave army, along with many spoils.
The remaining over two hundred thousand war slaves split: some rampaged indiscriminately, creating massive chaos; others slipped away back to their original Xingqiu.
Ye Liuyun, Lin Feng and others intercepted many fleeing war slaves midway, persuaded them to join the resistance, and mustered another hundred thousand.
This uprising dealt the Golden Wind Sect a huge loss, with its Outer Courtyard forces reduced by more than half, severely damaging morale.
Later they spent considerable effort to thoroughly purge the war slaves, and many war slaves were implicated.
But they dared not dispatch troops to hunt the war slaves, fearing Ye Liuyun's ambushes.
On Ye Liuyun's side, Qin Peng, Yuan Hao and Pei Yong had already arrived with a large force, helping reorganize and train the war slave army. Besides selecting one hundred thousand main troops, most were assigned to garrisons on various Xingqiu.
They also established bases, beginning a direct standoff with the Golden Wind Sect. The number of Xingqiu fully occupied by them kept increasing.
The civilians on these Xingqiu, freed from the Golden Wind Sect's oppression, welcomed them warmly.
After a brief stabilization, Ye Liuyun immediately launched a massive offensive to prevent the Golden Wind Sect from slipping behind their lines.
In this battle he deployed a thousand Skeleton Soldiers, crushing the Golden Wind Sect, abandoning his own main base and retreating entirely. He captured over a hundred thousand prisoners.
But before the fleeing Golden Wind Sect could steady themselves, Qin Peng and Yuan Hao's armies began alternating advances, pursuing them again. The Golden Wind Sect kept retreating, surrendering seventy percent of the entire Xing Xi to Ye Liuyun.
