Chapter 3890: Foreign Tribe Reemerges
According to Ye Ling, the earlier the information fed to a spirit demon during its materialization, the deeper its impact.
Now that this spirit demon has just evolved Divine Sense, Ye Liuyun has imprinted this memory onto it, effectively making the spirit demon regard Ye Liuyun as family deep in its bones, even closer than Ye Ling is to Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun, not knowing how else to help, transmitted some of his combat and troop‑leading experience to the spirit demon, so that it wouldn't be clueless after materializing.
With this experience, at least it can keep its life during battle.
He then, while awaiting the spirit demon's completion of materialization, led the group onward.
But as they approached the next Xing Xi, everyone sensed a familiar aura.
"Foreign Tribe?"
Ye Liuyun felt that familiar evil aura, and his spirit instantly tensed.
They are old foes; in the Divine Realm they have fought the Foreign Tribe many times. Yet seeing them here, he didn't know how strong they might be.
The Flying Boat halted immediately; a clone, taking Long Nv and Lei Ming, went ahead to scout, while the others prepared for battle and awaited news.
"Foreign Tribe has reached the Taixu World?" the group worried, assuming the Foreign Tribe had come from the Divine Realm.
If so, it meant the situation in the Divine Realm was already worrisome.
"Not necessarily!"
Ye Liuyun thought that since the Taixu World has Demon Race and Giant Race, having Foreign Tribe there was also normal.
In his view, the Foreign Tribe is just another race they have clashed with before. He only worried that the Foreign Tribe here might be too powerful to handle.
Among the Foreign Tribe, the red‑armored ones have strong Divine Soul Power, the black‑armored ones have strong Physical Body, the Faction is fast…
The Three‑Eyed Foreign Tribe is even more lethal; its Black and White Light is almost invincible.
Soon after, the clone also transmitted information.
"It is indeed Foreign Tribe, and their numbers are not small; the Xing Xi on both sides have already been occupied by them. If we go straight through, we'll definitely be spotted, and battle is unavoidable."
Moreover, the clone also encountered the Three‑Eyed Foreign Tribe. However, their third eye usually stays closed, so it's uncertain whether they can emit Black and White Light.
While Ye Liuyun was pondering how to respond, the clone's side was discovered by patrolling members of the Faction.
The Faction here moves very fast; thousands of li are covered almost instantly.
The clone's Spatial Power can certainly shake them off, Long Nv can barely keep pace, but Lei Ming's Spatial Power cannot outrun them.
"Then let's capture a few prisoners!"
Seeing they couldn't outrun the enemy, the clone immediately decided that capturing a few prisoners to gauge the situation was also a good idea.
The clone employed Time Power; after five members of the Faction rushed close, it placed a Slave Seal on each, then rode them back to the Flying Boat with Long Nv and Lei Ming.
Among those five members of the Faction, one possessed the Sevenfold Cave Heaven realm, two had Cave Heaven Fifth Level, and two had Third Stage of Dong Tian.
Even the patrolling Foreign Tribe members are this strong, indicating that the Foreign Tribe here is even stronger.
On the way back, the clone had already performed Soul Search to assess the situation.
The two Xing Xi blocking their path are merely territories occupied by the Foreign Tribe, located at the fringe.
The territory the Foreign Tribe occupies here is larger than the Lingyun Dynasty, and their strength generally far exceeds that of the Death Legion; even the lowest‑ranked soldiers are at Cave Heaven First Level.
However, their troop numbers are far fewer than those they previously encountered.
The Foreign Tribe they met before had virtually every citizen as a soldier. Here, each Xing Xi of the Foreign Tribe has only about a hundred thousand, most of whom are ordinary residents.
They call themselves the Faction, and many can speak both Foreign Tribe and Human Race languages, enabling communication. There is even trade.
Moreover, they hardly use Corpse Demons, relying entirely on strength in combat, which differs greatly from the Foreign Tribe they previously saw.
Probably fearing to provoke a joint resistance from other Xing Xi, they altered their strategy.
In fact, those Corpse Demons are only numerous; their combat power is mediocre against ordinary people and ineffective against large armies, so they simply gave up.
This Faction's race is also complete, with red‑armored, black‑armored, gold‑armored, Three‑Eyed Foreign Tribe, etc., all present. Surprisingly, their royalty is the Faction.
The Faction here has mastered Spatial Power; their strength is far from trivial.
Although the Three‑Eyed Foreign Tribe's Black and White Light is formidable, its damage is limited; once True Essence is exhausted, it cannot be used again.
However, Spatial Power can kill opponents without contact, and can create void collapse, compression and other large‑area attacks, capable of annihilating many enemies at once.
And according to these members of the Faction, they already have strong ones at the Sixth Stage of He Dao.
Their arch‑enemy is the Demon Race of the Western Region. The Demon Race discovered a material called Black‑Absolute Stone; refining this ore into armor or defensive weapons can block Black and White Light.
Both sides have waged war for years, suffering heavy losses; currently the Foreign Tribe's forces are concentrated in the Western Region, and the defensive strength here is not strong.
Facing such a strong foe, Ye Liuyun also had to be cautious.
"Detour! We cannot pass between the two planets, as we'd be easy to be flanked; we'll go around the outermost planet. Fight if we can, retreat if we can't, at any time!"
He made the decision then, avoiding risk.
If it were just him, there'd be few concerns; using Thousand Illusion Technique to alter appearance would easily slip by. But with so many of them, they cannot risk penetrating deep into their territory.
Moreover, he wanted to spar with the Faction here to gauge their strength.
After the Flying Boat changed course, Ye Liuyun briefed the group on the Faction's situation, urging them not to be careless.
The five newly captured members of the Faction were made by Ye Liuyun to serve as sparring partners, boosting the group's Spatial Power.
Ye Liuyun also sought Sun Que, asking him to raise the number of Kuailei at the Hédào Wǔchóng to two hundred, preparing to face the Faction.
"If only we could first go to the Demon Race to obtain Black‑Absolute Stone!"
Ye Liuyun was indeed interested in that Black‑Absolute Stone. With it, they could avoid being killed by the Three‑Eyed Foreign Tribe.
However, the Demon Race capable of confronting such a strong Faction would not be weak; forcibly seizing the ore would be quite difficult.
"Ideally we could trade with the Demon Race, exchanging resources for Black‑Absolute Stone."
Thinking of this, Ye Liuyun had Lan Xin help organize resources usable by the Demon Race, preparing them in advance.
Their Flying Boat, though rerouted, was still not far from the outermost Xing Xi of the Faction, and Ye Liuyun did not wish to take a long detour.
So they soon encountered another interception.
A medium‑sized Flying Boat of the Faction intercepted them.
「Hand over all your resources, we won't kill you, otherwise we'll make you our food! 」
Among the Faction, a black-scaled Foreign Tribe member was the leader of this group, and from a distance he shouted at Ye Liuyun and the others.
「Bandits? 」
Ye Liuyun and the others, hearing that, almost couldn't help laughing.
