Chapter 3905: Parting Ways, Raising One's Banner

"Good!"

Ye Liuyun answered with a sound, letting the Magic Vine extend a vine to support him as he sat up.

"Ah? Leader, you're injured?"

The Magic Vine still found it unbelievable, and Transmission Voice asked Ye Liuyun.

It thought that with Ye Liuyun's Physical Body and armor, he shouldn't be unable to sit up; just two jolts shouldn't require its support.

Ye Liuyun also replied via Transmission Voice: "I did it on purpose, to deceive them! Do as I say, don't give yourself away!"

"Oh!"

The Magic Vine answered, and without worrying about the rest, as long as Ye Liuyun was fine it felt relieved. It immediately acted according to Ye Liuyun's request.

Ye Liuyun leaned against the vine, watching Yan Tang's silhouette pensively.

Half of the Demon Race that Yan Tang brought were killed by the shock; the rest were severely wounded and couldn't fight again soon.

Yan Tang could only first gather them into the Cave Heaven World to let them recuperate.

Then Yan Tang turned back, seeing Ye Liuyun looking at him, and said helplessly: "They've lost combat ability; they probably can't recover in time!"

Ye Liuyun didn't intend to blame him: "No problem, just having a chance to fight side by side is enough; no need to force it."

Your ore is arriving soon, so let's call it quits, lest we attract even stronger foes.

Yan Tang had no objection: "It can only be that way! Let's temporarily leave this Xing Xi and wait at the gathering point, shall we?"

"Alright! We'll leave as soon as they return!" Ye Liuyun readily agreed.

Yan Tang didn't act this time, because he didn't know his background.

So he still wanted to quickly separate from Yan Tang, each going their own way, to avoid exposing more Trump Cards before them, giving them a chance to strike.

The clone and Hou Yunfeng and others soon returned here; aside from the clone, the others were quite surprised to see Ye Liuyun like this, and Long Nv and Lei Ming wore worried faces.

"Let's leave here first, we'll talk on the road!"

Ye Liuyun had the clone extract the Primordial Power of this Xingqiu, gather the others into the Cave Heaven World, release the Flying Boat, and leave this Xing Xi with Yan Tang and others to wait at the spot agreed with the ore delivery team.

The remaining Martial Cultivators and soldiers in this Xing Xi had originally planned to flee, knowing they weren't opponents. Now seeing them leave, they are baffled and can only wait and see.

Ye Liuyun returned to the Cave Heaven World on the road to "heal", actually to explain to the Monster Beasts, and also began cultivating the Divine Core.

Now the Golden Egg's energy is unusable, and his energy refinement speed has slowed, but he still has five times the accelerated time, so his progress won't be too slow.

Their Flying Boat was fast, arriving at the designated spot early, and they still need to wait here another three to five days.

Ye Liuyun's Flying Boat activated stealth, quietly hovering in place. This made Yan Tang and the Demon Race enviously admire.

Their Flying Boats lack this function, so they can only circle nearby to avoid being spotted by passing Faction.

Ye Liuyun has had many recent battles, never finding time to cultivate; each time he absorbs energy, his realm shows signs of breakthrough. However, now the absorbed energy requires the Divine Core to continuously circulate within his body to improve quality, taking longer.

But he had already advanced to the later stage of Cave Heaven First Level before the ore arrived. Afterwards he stayed inside, continuing to refine Primordial Power, consolidating and raising his realm.

He plans to raise his realm directly to Second Stage of Dong Tian before killing back into Faction's territory.

Although this Faction seems better than the Foreign Tribe, not everywhere filled with Corpse Demons, its nature hasn't changed; it invades everywhere, slaughtering the Human Race.

Since Ye Liuyun encountered them, he simply kills more evil beings here, both to practice and to prevent their rapid expansion.

Coincidentally the Demon Race is confronting them now, giving him an opening. Otherwise, with his current power, he couldn't make any big moves.

The others are also cultivating, especially Spatial Power, preparing to deal with the Faction.

Ye Ling has been helping Ye Liuyun keep watch over that shapeshifting spirit beast.

"Almost there, almost there, about half a month left before it should be finished!" she estimated the time for the spirit beast to complete its transformation.

She also piled a lot of Primordial Power beside the spirit beast for it to absorb. So the spirit beast is close to her, occasionally communicating with her via Divine Sense.

Not long after Ye Liuyun's breakthrough, the Demon Race's ore delivery team arrived here on schedule.

But nearly half of their strong members were lost on the way. This team was intercepted several times by the Faction's patrols; breaking through the blockade was already very lucky.

The other two teams didn't appear on time, and it's unknown what mishap occurred.

Ye Liuyun, seeing Yan Tang's sincere arrangement of ore, let him off the hook, no longer holding grudges.

Before parting from Yan Tang, he also chatted casually with him.

"Martial Cultivators grabbing resources is understandable; after all, that's the rule of the martial world—good resources attract attention. But some things require one's own limits. Even the Demon Race wouldn't attack everyone, right?"

He was actually hinting to Yan Tang that he had already noticed his little scheme, just hadn't acted on it.

Yan Tang seemed to sense something, but wasn't sure whether Ye Liuyun was just chatting casually or hinting, so he continued:

"The Demon Race differs greatly from the Human Race. Humans value emotions, while Demons worship might. To earn a Demon Race's respect, you must defeat them in battle."

His meaning was clear: the power around Ye Liuyun is strong, but without personally defeating him, he won't submit. So it's normal to keep an eye on his strength whenever an opportunity arises.

Ye Liuyun didn't continue. He and Yan Tang currently have no way to clash.

His realm is low; using his attacks requires special power, and fighting would be meaningless. The clone's realm is too high, which would look like bullying him.

"Let's part ways here, see each other again if fate permits!"

"Brother Ye, aren't you heading west? If you pass the Demon Race, be sure to find me; I'll treat you to a drink then!"

He still hopes Ye Liuyun will go to the Demon Race, so he can gather the strength of their strong ones, pressure Ye Liuyun, and make him hand over something, even if it's refining technique.

Ye Liuyun smiled, understanding Yan Tang's intention.

He really will pass the Demon Race. Whether to seek them out and clash, depends on his future strength.

"We'll talk when I pass the Demon Race!"

Ye Liuyun gave a perfunctory reply before parting with Yan Tang.

Yan Tang also had to return; otherwise he wouldn't separate from Ye Liuyun.

This time his outing had already lasted long; he had far exceeded his goal. Over half of his companions were lost; if he doesn't return soon, they may be unable to break through the Faction's blockade.
