Chapter 792: with translation of chapter title

Ye Liuyun also knew in his heart that he was dealing with a tiger for its skin, so he never trusted these demon cultivators at all.

After returning, he also briefed everyone on the situation.

"They are going to send people to monitor you!" Qiong Qi also reacted immediately.

Ye Liuyun nodded and said, "Yeah, and I estimate their realm won't be too low either!"

"Don't worry, as long as they dare to come in, I have a way to make sure they never return."

Qiong Qi said, and then he proceeded to set up his formation inside the warship in advance.

Qiong Qi's attainment in formations is far higher than Tuozi's. Tuozi now acts like a student, following beside Qiong Qi watching him set up formations and learning along.

Qiong Qi also helped improve the warship's entire defense array.

Afterwards, he entered the Xuan Kong Shi again to continue making armor.

"Before the battle starts, the new armor will definitely be ready!" Qiong Qi assured.

Ye Liuyun was not idle either; he immediately came out of the warship and walked around to look.

When he encountered demon cultivators he could talk to, he went up and chatted a bit to understand the situation.

Not long after, Liu Er found him to confirm the number of people boarding the ship.

Liu Er arranged three hundred demon cultivators, ten of whom were in the Zao Hua Realm, and the rest were all in the Yin-Yang Realm.

Ye Liuyun also agreed to all of them. At the same time, he notified Qiong Qi in his Sea of Consciousness.

"Don't worry, no matter how many come, it's all the same!" Qiong Qi confidently replied, then fell silent.

Ye Liuyun also took the opportunity to chat with Liu Er, gathering information.

Liu Er, in order to maintain good relations with him, did not hide what he could say; at least he told Ye Liuyun everything about the demon race's holy temple.

This information is also known to many demon cultivators, so he had no need to conceal it.

"The demon race's holy temple is a sacred place in their hearts, where a multi-armed demon god is enshrined. It is said that the temple existed even before the continent shattered."

"For all these years, it has received offerings from all demon clans; the wealth inside is absolutely beyond your imagination!"

On this point, Liu Er also did not hide it from Ye Liuyun.

But Ye Liuyun felt that the demon cultivators forming an alliance to attack the demon holy temple was definitely not just for some ordinary resources.

However, the true goal, Liu Er would certainly not tell him.

"What about the power guarding the holy temple?"

Ye Liuyun thought that a place with so many resources would certainly be heavily defended by the demon race.

"The demons guarding the holy temple are elites selected from each demon clan, their combat strength is also very strong, but their numbers are not large." Liu Er said lightly.

"But if we attack the holy temple, won't other demon clans rush to reinforce?" Ye Liuyun raised the question.

"So we need a quick battle. We will take the holy temple at the fastest speed, then grab the loot and leave. The demon race is not united internally. Even if they pursue us, they won't come together. As long as they don't come together, we can handle it." Liu Er said confidently.

Ye Liuyun, however, felt that his words contained many problems.

First, if the demon race's guarding forces are all elites, then they would just become cannon fodder, relying entirely on people to fill the gaps.

Second, even if they could take the treasures inside, they would still need to stay together long-term to resist the demon race's counterattack, which is basically impossible for a rabble.

Once they split up, they would easily be wiped out by the demon race.

Moreover, judging by the alliance's intention, they don't seem to plan to disband after the fight; instead, they appear to want to bind these demon cultivators permanently to the alliance, making them share its fortunes long-term.

Ye Liuyun also asked how the acquired wealth would be distributed; Liu Er only vaguely said it would be based on merit and that the demon cultivators would not suffer a loss.

This vague attitude made Ye Liuyun immediately realize that the demon cultivator alliance had no intention of sharing any spoils; it was merely using these demon cultivators as cannon fodder.

Ye Liuyun also stopped chatting with Liu Er, instead wandering around and asking some demon cultivators about the demon holy temple, hoping to find clues to uncover the alliance's true intent.

These demon cultivators are not stupid either; many of them, like Ye Liuyun, are secretly discussing the alliance's true purpose behind the scenes.

"It is said that inside the demon holy temple there is a divine artifact, a scepter, that can command all demons!"

"What scepter? It is a legacy left by the multi-armed demon god; whoever inherits it can become the next generation of demon god."

"I heard that inside it is stored a demon melody that can be used to control demons!"

People's accounts differ, most of them are just hearsay.

"Demon melody?" Upon hearing the term, Ye Liuyun suddenly recalled his own Nine Nether Prelude, which he hadn't used in a long time.

Now his Buddha Demon Power is stronger throughout his body; applying it again should yield even better results.

And that Nine Nether Prelude indeed has the effect of controlling demons.

Finally, Ye Liuyun returned to the warship and told Qiong Qi all the information he had heard.

Qiong Qi's view was the same as Ye Liuyun's.

"Now it seems they definitely have some scheme, not just for those treasures. As for what exactly, we can judge based on Liu Er's reaction later..."

"We need to prepare for evacuation, so we won't be unable to leave when the time comes!" Ye Liuyun reminded Qiong Qi.

"Well, we need to obtain wealth and treasures, while avoiding being entangled by the guarding demons, shaking off Liu Er's surveillance, escaping the demon cultivator alliance and the demon race's pursuit... Indeed it's quite difficult!" Qiong Qi also felt it was difficult.

"Shift the target, blame the alliance."

Ye Liuyun felt that at that time, only this method would both let the demons entangle the alliance and leave the alliance no spare capacity to hunt them down.

"Let's see how things go; for now it's really hard to say." Qiong Qi currently also has no concrete plan.

What they can do now is to confirm several escape routes with Du Yan.

"If you use the divine artifact, what level of demon race can you handle?" Ye Liuyun asked Qiong Qi.

This point, he must have a clear idea in his mind.

"The Sixth Layer of Sixfold Creation, more or less that's the limit!"

The strength of the late stage of the Zao Hua Realm is truly too strong; even if Qiong Qi wields the divine artifact, he hardly has any chance to win.

Ye Liuyun, Qiong Qi, and Du Yan confirmed the escape routes, then had everyone recheck the warship's condition; only after confirming there were no problems did everyone stop to rest.

"Little handsome guy, ever since I boarded your pirate ship, my heart, sis, has never beaten normally! To think of attacking the demon holy temple, you really could come up with that!"

Li Sanniang was also worried about the impending battle, and she again started talking about Ye Liuyun's adventurousness.

"Everyone, rest assured—although it's a bit dangerous, the reward will definitely not be less."
