Chapter 911: Deploy Troops Again
Ye Liuyun listened to their introduction and also knew everything was developing smoothly.
Du Yan's business gradually got on track; to truly become a supply station so that all passing warships know this place, it still needs time to ferment.
Qin Peng's elite soldier squad has grown to over five hundred, all equipped with ferocious beasts, and they are currently coordinating with the beasts inside the Secret Realm.
Recently, no one has come to Yonglie Island to cause trouble; nearby demon cultivators have also been cleared out by Qin Peng and his men.
The Prince of Liang from Yingzui Island also gave great support to Yonglie Island, helping them with publicity.
Qin Peng also told Ye Liuyun that they had previously exterminated several demon cultivator sects and received rewards from the Daxia Dynasty.
The reward supplies were all military equipment; he has already equipped the soldiers with them.
"I also brought back some protective power and resources for you!"
Ye Liuyun finished speaking, then took them to the highest mountain on the island and released the Heaven Swallowing Beast.
As the Heaven Swallowing Beast's ferocity was released, the entire Yonglie Island trembled.
From then on, these people spread the news that Yonglie Island had a strong guardian, and few dared to harbor designs on Yonglie Island anymore.
Those who came to do business also became much more orderly, not daring to be overly presumptuous.
Du Yan and Qin Peng were then so shocked they couldn't close their mouths.
Ye Liuyun repeatedly brought them shock, leaving them unsure what to say.
The Heaven Swallowing Beast had been fairly content staying in Ye Liuyun's Space World, but once out, after sensing the aura, it became very dissatisfied.
Ye Liuyun also knew that although the Heaven Swallowing Beast could not defy his will, if he were absent, the beast would very likely slack off.
So he used his Divine Sense to communicate with the Heaven Swallowing Beast: "Help me guard Yonglie Island for ten years, and I'll set you free and give you the primordial power of a Secret Realm!"
"Really?" the Heaven Swallowing Beast said, somewhat disbelieving.
Ye Liuyun immediately wrote these conditions into a contract: "I can sign a contract with you, but you must sincerely help me guard Yonglie Island, not slack off!"
"Fine, I agree!" the Heaven Swallowing Beast also immediately agreed.
Actually, being inside the Secret Realm also put him in a dilemma; if he didn't absorb the Secret Realm's primordial power, its realm couldn't be raised.
But after absorbing the Secret Realm's primordial power completely, the Secret Realm would collapse, and it would perish along with it.
Now Ye Liuyun has released it and promised it freedom and energy; naturally it is willing.
Ten years is but a blink of an eye for martial cultivators or ferocious beasts.
After Ye Liuyun and the Heaven Swallowing Beast signed the contract, he immediately began to spew thick fog, enveloping the entire mountain peak.
The fog did not spread outward; instead, it actively limited its own range of activity.
Ye Liuyun seeing the Heaven Swallowing Beast so proactive was also very satisfied.
Immediately from the Space World, he took out a Gathering Spirit Tree and planted it on the mountain where the Heaven Swallowing Beast resides.
This Gathering Spirit Tree not only benefits the Heaven Swallowing Beast, but also greatly improves the spiritual aura concentration across Yonglie Island.
Next, he took out half of the Profound Gold Stone; the other half he left for the Tree Demon to cultivate Gold Spirit Soil.
But even that half was enough to make several small mountains.
Du Yan and Qin Peng were astonished again.
"Marquis, where did you go this time to tear down something bigger than others?" Qin Peng muttered softly.
"Probably he tore down a Secret Realm!" Du Yan echoed.
Ye Liuyun pointed to the two largest pieces of Profound Gold Stone and said to Du Yan: "These two I'll have you exchange for Spirit Stones; that's what I promised to compensate others with. The remaining Spirit Stones, you two each take half, keep them for development!"
Afterwards, he also told them about the matter of having offended Prince Xiao.
"Prince Xiao can be considered one of the more powerful princes in the dynasty!" Qin Peng also felt speechless.
Ye Liuyun actually provoked such a colossal figure.
However, seeing Ye Liuyun's current strength, he felt Ye Liuyun indeed truly had this confidence.
"Then we need to quickly expand our army! Against Prince Xiao's great force, our troop numbers are nowhere near enough!" Qin Peng sighed.
"Those Spirit Stones you got from exchanging the Profound Gold Stone can be used freely. But don't just increase numbers; equipment, weapons, etc., also need to be upgraded." Ye Liuyun advised.
"Fine, I'll handle it!" Qin Peng also immediately agreed.
He now feels that following Ye Liuyun, he might actually accomplish something great!
Ye Liuyun's ability to acquire resources is truly formidable.
"Did you get any news on the major sect I had you investigate last time?" Ye Liuyun asked casually.
He didn't think Qin Peng could have gathered all that information in just about a month.
But Qin Peng replied: "I've locked onto a great sect of fifty thousand people, with five Venerable-level experts guarding it. The sect has two Secret Realms, a top-grade Spirit Stone Vein, and a precious metal vein."
"When can we attack?" Ye Liuyun asked.
"We can set out anytime!" Qin Peng replied, full of anticipation and somewhat excited.
"Alright, prepare to set out; we'll go right away!" Ye Liuyun immediately decided and dispatched troops.
"You two go back first and finish the academy's tasks."
Ye Liuyun then arranged for Ling Shuang and Yuan Datou; if they don't return soon, they'll be punished by the academy.
Ling Shuang originally also wanted to accompany Ye Liuyun; Yuan Datou even more wanted to stay and join the fun with him.
But helplessly, they both have academy tasks they must return to complete, so they can only head back to the Qian Long Academy first.
Ye Liuyun then, once Qin Peng had everything ready, immediately boarded their warship.
"Not bringing the Heaven Swallowing Beast?" Qin Peng asked Ye Liuyun.
He had originally been calculating, planning to have the Heaven Swallowing Beast devour a round first, but he didn't expect Ye Liuyun to have no intention of bringing it.
"No need. In the future, when you go out on campaigns, you also cannot bring it. The Heaven Swallowing Beast only handles island defense, not external offense."
Ye Liuyun directly told Qin Peng so he wouldn't keep relying on the Heaven Swallowing Beast to go out and show off.
Upon hearing this, Qin Peng felt somewhat disappointed, but still believed that with the Heaven Swallowing Beast garrisoned, even an army of a hundred thousand could not take Yonglie Island.
At least he no longer has to bear the pressure of defense from now on.
Qin Peng secretly calculated. He now has one dragon eagle and five high-rank ferocious beasts, and adding the dragon eagle and ferocious beast that Ye Liuyun has, that is also enough.
So he started discussing with Ye Liuyun how to launch the attack, asking Ye Liuyun to provide the necessary support.
After hearing it, Ye Liuyun made alterations to Qin Peng's plan.
"Send the Yin Soul to the vanguard; I also need more Yin Souls to expand the Yin Soul army. You just clean up the battlefield!"
