Chapter 3881: Dynasty Expansion

In front of the camp, the Skeleton Puppet was smashed apart one by one by the two opposing strongmen.

When Ye Liuyun rushed out with the Metal Puppets, the Skeleton Soldiers that Yu Xiaofeng had brought were already completely wiped out by these two Cultivation realm strongmen.

The strength of Cultivation realm strongmen is indeed no small matter.

But thanks to those Skeleton Soldiers, the two strongmen, even when they saw Ye Liuyun's group, could not manage to flee.

Ye Liuyun instantly employed Time Power to halt time, then used Spatial Power to appear beside the two, raised the Demon Slaying Sword and slashed.

The rule powers these two strongmen command have nothing to do with time. Even if Ye Liuyun first froze time, or even if he used Spatial Power to launch a surprise attack, the two would find it hard to evade.

Ye Liuyun's Spatial rule power is now on par with theirs, and he no longer needs the Metal Puppets to intervene.

Yu Xiaofeng, upon witnessing this, was envious. Though the Leader's cultivation level is not high, his power is becoming ever more terrifying.

Since following Ye Liuyun, Yu Xiaofeng has always been accustomed to calling him Great Leader, regardless of whether he is a God King, and that has hardly changed, while Qin Peng has always called Ye Liuyun Prince.

Two heads fell to the ground, and the enemy army behind, poised to charge, was instantly dumbfounded.

Yu Xiaofeng's rear forces then encircled from both flanks.

Ye Liuyun instantly grasped Yu Xiaofeng's intent, and immediately unleashed a full‑force slash, a massive blade aura from the Demon Slaying Sword carving a huge opening in the enemy army.

The enemy army's Great Leader was reduced to ash and smoke by that slash.

Afterwards, those Metal Puppets charged straight into the enemy forces, and the remaining Leaders of various sizes were also singled out by the puppets and slain one by one.

Yu Xiaofeng's forces surged forward like a tide, and the enemy army instantly broke, scattering like sand.

Ye Liuyun and Zhan Kong both activated Spatial Power, specifically to intercept fleeing enemy troops at the outer edge. They used Spatial Power to block, then habitually employed spatial compression to slay the enemy.

Ye Liuyun's spatial compression was hit‑or‑miss; when it faltered, he added another slash, keeping his attack power on par with Zhan Kong's.

Ultimately, they won the battle outright, taking sixty thousand prisoners.

After the fight ended, Ye Liuyun told Yu Xiaofeng: "I can't stay here forever; after leaving you some high‑end combat forces, I have to leave!

I will leave you the strongest Zhan Kong. I'll also give you three Hédào Wǔchóng Skeleton Puppets, ten Hédào Sānchóng, and a thousand Hédào Yīchóng Skeleton Puppets.

If you meet enemies on the battlefield that these forces cannot deal with, come find me."

"So many!"

Yu Xiaofeng became somewhat excited. With these high‑end combat forces, the army is practically invincible.

Later, Ye Liuyun separately sent the same number of puppets to the Iron Army and Yuan Hao, assigning the Demon King to the Iron Army and Bà Tiān to Yuan Hao.

He then returned to the Lingyun Dynasty, leaving Qian Meng and Sòng Cháng'ān with Pei Yong, letting the two assist Pei Yong in training soldiers' Soul Power and Spatial Power.

He also gave Pei Yong three Hédào Wǔchóng Skeleton Puppets to protect his safety, and had the illustrator arrange a large number of Formations on the garrison planet.

These Formations are partly for defense, partly for testing and training soldiers. With this support, Pei Yong will find training soldiers much easier.

Before leaving, he also gave Guǐ Sòu and Chen Yueying each three Hédào Wǔchóng and ten Hédào Sānchóng Skeleton Puppets, to safeguard them.

Then Ye Liuyun, accompanied by Gu Changhong, went to meet Qin Peng, letting Gu Changhong follow Qin Peng and also leaving the same quantity of high‑end combat forces for him.

With these high‑end forces, in the following two years, Yu Xiaofeng and Qin Peng's armies, on the current Lingyun Dynasty's lands, quickly conducted another sweep.

Yuan Hao and the Iron Army, while defending with their armies, repelled several invasions, holding the entire Lingyun Dynasty as solid as a fortified wall.

Guǐ Sòu has arranged each conquered star system very well; everything flourishes, and the Martial Cultivator strength across the entire star system is steadily rising.

Lǐ Chéngfēng, Shào Dōnglái, Fù Yúntáng, Chen Yueying and others did not disappoint Ye Liuyun, not only developing their own territories impressively, but also assisting Guǐ Sòu with additional star system management.

The Yúnmèng Shānghuì and Chéngyuán Shānghuì also follow the dynasty's expansion, constantly extending outward. Each year they give Ye Liuyun a proportional share of profits.

Ye Liuyun now doesn't need those resources, so he lets Guǐ Sòu handle them. Half goes to dynasty construction, half to bolstering the army's strength.

The Lingyun Dynasty's army also expanded as its territories grew. Yu Xiaofeng, Qin Peng, the Iron Army, and Yuan Hao altered their strategies, each leading a million‑strong army, stationed and expanding in a single direction.

They also emphasize cultivating deputies and talent; Wàn Xīnghǎi, Jīn Biāo and Xiao Qing, who joined the army, quickly earned promotion through their own efforts, becoming junior Leaders in the Death Legion under Qin Peng.

After sending the puppets over, Ye Liuyun no longer took part in their campaigns, but after reuniting with the Clone Puppet and others, he continued sailing west.

When he hurried back, the Clone Puppet was battling with Monster Beasts. After those Metal Puppets departed, they found the fight very strenuous.

Once they ran into a Hédào Sìchóng strongman; Hou Yunfeng and Long Nv were no match. Had the Clone not possessed Time Power and Spatial Power, they would have been completely wiped out.

The opponents they faced this time weren't strong; the strongest were three Hédào Èrchóng Martial Cultivators. The Clone Puppet, Hou Yunfeng, and Long Nv could cope.

But they offended the local Great Qi Dynasty, and the royal court dispatched numerous strongmen.

"How did we provoke the royal family again?" Ye Liuyun said casually after returning, also asking about the situation.

"Brother, they're after your woman; they want to capture me and Sister Long Nv, and Xiao Jiu!" Lei Ming reported to Ye Liuyun.

Xiao Jiu refers to the Nine‑Head Demon Dragon.

Ye Liuyun laughed: "Then they're really courting death. If they dare to target my woman, we'll annihilate them!"

"Hmm, right!" Lei Ming nodded emphatically, fearing Ye Liuyun might not want to fight, and she would lose the chance to act.

"When can you breakthrough the realm?" Ye Liuyun asked Lei Ming again.

The enemy still has several Hédào Yīchóng Martial Cultivators; Ye Liuyun is contemplating who should deal with them.

"I can already take on Hédào Yīchóng Martial Cultivators!" Lei Ming, being clever, instantly grasped Ye Liuyun's intent and volunteered.

"No. Against Hédào Yīchóng Martial Cultivators you can at most defeat one, which is not worthwhile; it's better to help others deal with the Dòngtiān realm Martial Cultivators, so you and Xiao Jiu can block all their Dòngtiān Jiǔchóng Martial Cultivators.

Then let the Magic Vine cooperate with you; the opponent's Dòngtiān Bājiǔchóng Martial Cultivators will pose no threat, and others will find it much easier.

Give me those Hédào Yīchóng Martial Cultivators, and I'll bring a few Hédào realm Skeleton Puppets to take care of them.

Ye Liuyun made the arrangement, not forcing Lei Ming.
