Chapter 793: On the Edge

Ye Liuyun had already made up his mind; even if he fails to seize the resources this time, he will take a portion from his own supplies and give it to Du Yan and the others.

He also can't always let them follow him on adventures for free. This kind of adventure has actually gone beyond the scope of his previous agreement with Du Yan.

Of course, the resources he gives to Du Yan and the others are actually quite a lot.

Their relationship is also very harmonious; otherwise Du Yan wouldn't accompany him everywhere in such a hassle.

"Ah, look at you being so polite! As if I were demanding payment from you!" Li Sanniang retorted, "I'm just feeling a bit sorry seeing you fight so hard for some resources!"

"Don't worry, Sanniang, I'm already used to it, nothing will happen! With resources, the greater the risk you can bear, the greater the reward!"

Ye Liuyun also started chatting with the others.

"Not bad! Take more risks while we're young; it's far better than us!" Du Yan sighed beside him, agreeing with Ye Liuyun's approach.

Two days later, the Demon Cultivator Alliance as a whole sprang into action.

Liu Er, leading three hundred Demon Cultivators, boarded Ye Liuyun's Warship.

Around Ye Liuyun's Warship, two Level 2 Battleships and four Level 3 Battleships were also assigned. The captains of these ships came over early to greet Ye Liuyun and get acquainted.

When the departure time arrived, hundreds of Warships set off in grand formation toward the Demon Race's Temple.

Ye Liuyun counted the Warships and found that overnight their number had almost doubled.

It seems the Demon Cultivator Alliance had previously concealed half of its strength to lull the Demon Race's Temple into complacency.

Such a large‑scale offensive could not have gone unnoticed by the Demon Race's Temple.

So hiding part of the force was also meant to numb the Temple's guard strength.

【7】 Ye Liuyun's Warship was placed at the front, led by two Level 3 Battleships under his command.

Ye Liuyun's Warship was placed at the very front. In front were two Level 3 Battleships belonging to him leading the way.

"They really want to use me as cannon fodder!" Ye Liuyun thought, chatting nonchalantly with Liu Er.

Liu Er didn't initiate conversation, his face solemn. Ye Liuyun asked him anything; whatever Liu Er could say, he said, and what he couldn't, he pretended not to hear.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense remained extended, monitoring the entire fleet's movements from afar.

Everyone beside him was stored in his Storage Ring, except Qiong Qi, who remained outside.

After about half a day of sailing, Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense detected several hundred Warships opposite, but their classes were clearly one tier lower than theirs.

Liu Er's Divine Sense also spotted the opposing Warships, his brows furrowing, and he immediately sent a Transmission Voice to the Alliance Leader asking how to proceed.

Those opposing Warships were nearby Demon Race forces rushing to reinforce the Temple.

Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense passed beyond those ships, probing straight into the Temple.

Inside the Demon Race Temple were nearly ten Demon Race members in the late Zao Hua Realm, another thirty to fifty in the Zao Hua Realm, and over a hundred in the Yin-Yang Realm.

They wore uniform Temple attire, each garment bearing the image of a many‑armed Demon God, making them easy to recognize.

Judging by the formation, the Temple's defending force was far stronger than theirs.

Ye Liuyun paid little heed to the Warships surrounding the Temple, but the Demon Race inside was indeed of too high a realm.

He didn't know what good strategy the Alliance Leader of the Demon Cultivator Alliance might have.

"Hold out until they clash, and we'll fish for profit in the chaos!" Qiong Qi sent a Transmission Voice to Ye Liuyun.

Of course Ye Liuyun knew he couldn't ram those late‑stage Zao Hua Realm strongmen, so he re‑examined the lower‑class Warships opposite, looking for ways to stall.

At the same time he sent a Transmission Voice to Du Yan: "Delay as much as possible, and make it look like we're exerting great effort."

"Alright!" Du Yan replied simply.

At this moment, Liu Er also received the Alliance Leader's order and told Ye Liuyun, "Your Warship, as the main combat force, will lead the first echelon and be responsible for repelling those opposing Warships."

"Just me alone, leading six Warships?" Ye Liuyun shouted in feigned alarm.

"Of course not! Our other Level 2 and Level 3 Warships will also charge together." Liu Er knew that making Ye Liuyun a suicide pawn was too obvious, so he couldn't do that.

Moreover, their Alliance Leader coveted Ye Liuyun's Super Warship, so he didn't want Ye Liuyun's ship to be destroyed in battle.

Therefore, the order he gave Ye Liuyun would not deliberately sacrifice that Super Warship.

"Fine then. When do we strike?" Ye Liuyun asked.

"Immediately. The longer we stall, the more Demon Race reinforcements may arrive. You can attack now!" Liu Er said calmly.

"Maintain formation, keep advancing, enter combat mode!"

Ye Liuyun instantly ordered his six escort ships to activate along with the other Warships and rush toward the enemy.

His Divine Sense also noted that when his Warship moved, the hundreds of Level 2 and Level 3 Warships behind followed.

"Looks like they don't want us dead that early!" Ye Liuyun communicated to Qiong Qi.

"I think they're after your Super Warship, right?" Qiong Qi's guess was spot‑on; after all, his experience far exceeds Ye Liuyun's.

"That's possible too!" Ye Liuyun replied, also seeing the possibility.

Yet he wasn't worried at all now.

The Alliance Leader would certainly be unable to look after him then; when it comes to action, Liu Er will be the one to act.

However, with Qiong Qi's Formation in place, Liu Er had no chance at all.

Ye Liuyun and the other six Warships surged far ahead at full speed toward the enemy, followed by hundreds of Level 2 and Level 3 Warships.

The clash between both sides was also on the brink.

Hundreds of Warships engaged; the scale was even more spectacular than the bandits in the Triangular Zone.

In front of Ye Liuyun, both flanks were protected by Warships, so he didn't employ any tactics and simply charged straight ahead.

The Super Warship's offensive power far exceeded that of ordinary Warships.

Therefore, before even entering the enemy's attack range, Li Sanniang fired first; the energy beam from her ship's bow blasted out, instantly shattering a Level 3 Battleship directly opposite.

As Ye Liuyun's Warship opened fire, the whole battle began. The other Warships, once within attack range, immediately fired at the enemy.

The entire battlefield was filled with energy beams shooting back and forth.

Soon, the two Level 3 Warships shielding him at the front were blown apart.

"Send up two more Level 3 Warships!" Ye Liuyun ordered directly.

When it comes to these Demon Cultivator warships, Ye Liuyun uses them without holding back at all.

Liu Er also has no objection. Anyway these warships were always just cannon fodder. As long as we can keep Ye Liuyun's warships as much as possible, that's all.
