Chapter 3854: Using Demons to Control Demons

Everyone gathered together, seizing the time to cultivate.

Ye Liuyun and the Demon‑Suppressing Dynasty came to the same thought: both aim to use demons to control demons, so it now depends on whose demon combat power is stronger.

Soon, Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil noticed that the warships rushing here were all carrying large numbers of demon creatures.

They are called demon creatures because most of them are Demon Beasts or low‑rank members of the Demon Race; truly powerful Demon Race members are fewer, and they mainly serve to control these creatures, so they shouldn't charge ahead in battle.

Those demon creatures lack much sentience. Judging by their realms, they are not rivals to us, merely more numerous.

For the few higher‑realm demon creatures, the puppets can handle them.

The incoming warships landed around the city walls one after another, clearly intending to encircle them.

Ye Liuyun made arrangements: one side to the Magic Vine; another to the Sealing Demon Tablet with Zhan Kong's assistance; a third with the Clone Puppet leading Dragon Beasts and Demon Men to engage; and the remaining side he led the rest of the puppets, Monster Beasts and the women to handle.

Hou Yunfeng and the Painter were left to garrison inside the city, lest their homes be looted while they were in battle.

After his arrangements, the Demon Qi outside the city began to coalesce in patches. Without Ye Liuyun's experience, one would truly be frightened by their momentum.

Outside the city, the demon creatures roared loudly, and before long the black mist spread toward the walls.

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil, unobstructed, saw clearly and realized they were beginning the attack.

He immediately deployed the Sealing Demon Tablet, assigning it to the side it was responsible for, letting it charge out with Zhan Kong. The other Magic Vines and Clone Puppets required no further attention.

At once he was enveloped in Buddha Light, and the Buddha Demon Guardian Seal appeared behind him, leading everyone in a charge out of the city.

The Guardian God Seal was massive; a single palm strike could crush a swath of demon creatures, all powered by Buddha Light, the exact bane of those demons.

The Magic Vine and Demon Man squads also broke out of the city to gather resources. Lei Ming, the Nine‑Headed Demon Dragon, and the Demon Lion were all excited; these demon creatures were precisely the ideal cultivation resources for them.

The Clone Puppet's two Demon Blades seized the chance to greedily absorb the souls and blood of these demon creatures to strengthen themselves. Inside, the souls of two Demon Dragons had long lacked suitable resources.

The entire city was shrouded in Demon Qi, and battle roars erupted from all directions.

The Human Martial Cultivators watching from outside also did not know what was happening within the Demon Qi and dared not approach, only observing from afar.

All they could see was a stone tablet as tall as a mountain rising and falling. Occasionally golden light flickered, but the specifics remained unclear to them.

After the battle had lasted over an hour, the Demon Qi that had enveloped the city began to thin. The dynasty also received news that they were about to be defeated; the opponent's strength was overwhelming, and they had also released countless demon creatures.

"Indeed, they are demon creatures. Bring over all the suppressed Demon Race, we can use them to wear them down!"

The dynasty immediately transmitted the order to every planet, clearly still unwilling to give up.

Thus each planet promptly mobilized, gathering the suppressed demon creatures, signing Divine Soul Contracts with them, letting them aid in battle; if they won, certain conditions would be promised, and some demons might even be granted freedom.

The demon creatures they had suppressed naturally cherished the opportunity; most agreed to join the fight and were sent to the battlefield.

Ye Liuyun's side, after utterly exterminating this wave of demon creatures, began to clean up the battlefield.

"Seize the time to cultivate and recover; the battle isn't over yet, stronger demon creatures will appear later," Ye Liuyun promptly reminded everyone.

He told them: "When they negotiate with us is when the final battle occurs. Only after that will the fighting be nearly over!"

Ye Liuyun has attacked countless dynasties and also defended them; he knows exactly the opponent's intentions.

Thus, after the group collected resources, they immediately resumed cultivation.

Ye Liuyun, the puppets, and the women gave the captured demon creature corpses to the Sealing Demon Tablet, accelerating its enhancement.

The Sealing Demon Tablet finally got its chance, making this battle extremely frantic; with Zhan Kong's coordination, not a single demon creature escaped, all were sucked dry into husks.

However, it can now only handle demon creatures up to the second or third level of the Cave Heaven Realm; anything stronger still requires Zhan Kong's assistance.

Yet its growth is rapid; after this battle its strength has risen at least one realm and continues to increase.

On the Demon Man side, the harvest was abundant; everyone was grinning ear‑to‑ear. Their realms are high, only those at the Cave Heaven Realm participated, making killing these demon creatures even easier.

During their fight, more Flying Boats headed here, landing around the city and dropping countless demon creatures. Moreover, the stronger among them increased, and some genuine Demon Race members were released.

"This star system makes good use of these demon creatures!" Ye Liuyun, seeing so many powerful Demon Race members gathered, admired the dynasty's capability.

These Demon Race members were captured separately by each star system, requiring far less manpower.

Now that they are pooled together, they can form full Demon Race armies, and dealing with them becomes arduous.

The Painter also helped reinforce the formations. The previous battle formations had been breached several layers. Now, as the demon creatures grow stronger, the formations must be stronger to hold.

"Roar!"

At that moment, a Demon Race roar echoed across the heavens.

"Demon Race of the Hédào Realm, gathering all demon creatures!"

Lei Ming and the others discerned the meaning of the roar and immediately reported to Ye Liuyun.

"Hmm, I see. They are changing tactics, attacking only one side."

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil also observed the Demon Race's movements.

They are converging together. It's likely that those of the Hédào Realm understand a bit of tactics.

The city is surrounded by formations on all four sides; they cannot be broken. Attacking one side versus all four yields the same effect, but concentrating force is more likely to tax Ye Liuyun's side.

Ye Liuyun immediately gathered everyone on the side they intended to attack, leaving the other three sides to Hou Yunfeng and the Painter to guard. As long as the formations hold, no extra attention is needed.

"When facing strong opponents, deploy Skeleton Puppets; no need to fear revealing strength!"

Ye Liuyun also specifically reminded the Monster Beasts and the women.

His Golden Pupil saw two Hédào First Realm Demon Race strongholds, one in the open, leading a massive Demon Race army.

The other hid behind the army, waiting for a chance to strike. He feared someone might be ambushed by that Demon Race.

This opponent is clearly different; two not‑dumb Demon Race leaders, versed in tactics, make the demon creatures' assault more organized and targeted.

Soon, a squad of demon creatures rushed forward, launching a probing attack.

"Indeed, they're unusual, even probing!" Ye Liuyun merely smiled.
