Chapter 912: Shocking Moyu

Qin Peng added, "But the troops also need training!"

Finally, the two of them decided, Ye Liuyun had the Yin Soul army specifically target Martial Cultivators at Zao Hua Third Realm and above, while everything else was left to Qin Peng's army.

The warships currently used by Qin Peng and his group have not only been completely repainted with uniform coatings and markings, but their offensive and defensive equipment, as well as formations, have also been strengthened by Du Yan and others.

Therefore, just the warships' offensive and defensive capabilities are much stronger than before.

The warships' speed is also considerably faster than before. Although it doesn't reach a level that surpasses its class, it is absolutely the fastest warship of its class.

Basically, even the speed of a second-class warship now approaches that of a first-class warship.

When a fleet sails, it must always accommodate the speed of the slowest warship. In Ye Liuyun's fleet, the worst warship is a second-class warship.

Therefore, their army, which originally expected a voyage of nearly a month, has been advanced by nearly half the time.

Moreover, as soon as Ye Liuyun approached that Demon Cultivator sect, he immediately waved the Soul Banner, letting the Yin Soul army begin its attack.

That Demon Cultivator sect didn't even activate its defensive formation before being breached by the Yin Soul army.

Qin Peng also led troops following the Yin Soul army, charging into the Demon Cultivator sect.

Ye Liuyun, meanwhile, released ice magic tigers and ghost butterflies outside to prevent any strong ones from escaping from inside.

The Yin Soul army, aside from the blood-colored bats still recuperating, had all other high-ranking Yin Souls—whether foreign tribe or ferocious beast—unified under the command of the Asura.

The overall strength of the Yin Soul army is greater. Besides the high-ranking powerhouses, this time they also gained many ferocious beasts. Sweeping through, they encountered hardly any particularly strong resistance, clearing away all obstacles.

Even those five high-ranking powerhouses were almost instantly wiped out by the Asura leading his men.

Ye Liuyun, outside the sect, was merely responsible for waving the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner to absorb divine soul power.

After this battle, his Hundred-Refined Soul Banner will gain another fifty thousand Yin soldiers.

However, he did not throw away the magic vine seeds in this battle.

Now there are many ferocious beasts in the army, and corpses and elemental pellets are also energy and food sources they need; Ye Liuyun simply left all of these to Qin Peng.

In half a day, Ye Liuyun and his group swept the Demon Cultivator sect clean.

What remained was Qin Peng leading people to clean the battlefield, harvesting secret realms, mineral veins, treasure vaults, storage rings, and corpses.

Ye Liuyun didn't touch any of the resources inside the sect at all; he even left all divine artifacts to the army.

"'Marquis, we've struck it rich this time!' Qin Peng excitedly reported to Ye Liuyun after gathering all the resources."

"'Consume all the resources!' Ye Liuyun simply commanded."

"'Ah?'"

Qin Peng didn't quite understand.

Ye Liuyun explained again: "Resources are only worthwhile when used. Don't fear wasting these resources; use them all on the army."

"From the grade of armor and weapons to the various equipment and ferocious beasts used by the soldiers, everything will be upgraded! You must expend all the resources in your hands, understand?"

Only then did Qin Peng understand Ye Liuyun's meaning.

"'Marquis, rest assured, I will definitely build up the army!' Qin Peng promised."

At the same time, he firmly resolved in his heart to give it his all!

With Ye Liuyun trusting him so much and giving him so many resources, if he still couldn't bring forth a strong army, that would truly be wasteful!

"'The strongest army!' He still kept Ye Liuyun's expectation in mind!"

After returning, Qin Peng also went all out. On one hand he expanded recruitment again, even sending people to Zhongyang Dalu to conscript; on the other hand he sent all existing soldiers into the secret realms.

Even if the casualty rate was high, he spared no effort.

They now have four secret realms of varying sizes, so training troops no longer lacks bases.

At the same time, he had Du Yan help purchase large quantities of premium equipment, comprehensively upgrading the soldiers' armor, weapons, and gear.

He also ensured all kinds of military equipment were fully stocked. Even for places he deemed needing key reinforcement, the purchased equipment exceeds that of some powerful armies.

For a time, vast amounts of resources were paid out. Qin Peng sometimes felt heartbroken looking at them.

But Ye Liuyun consistently supported him, each time saying just one phrase: "Use up the resources!"

With Ye Liuyun's support, the army's strength continually improves.

The elite troops expanded to nearly a thousand. Ordinary soldiers also have twenty thousand reserves, allowing continuous screening and training. Soldiers often collapse from exhaustion and fall asleep.

The corpses gained in battle are also given to the ferocious beasts in the army; even the beasts' realms are continually rising.

"'Just keep developing like this! If resources run out, go ask Du Yan for more!' Ye Liuyun encouraged Qin Peng to continue developing this way before leaving."

Only now does he see this army and feel it has a bit of an iron-blooded corps' appearance.

Du Yan's side has already begun to see income, although small, but expenses are already not much; he is fully capable of supporting the army's development.

Moreover, Qin Peng still has plenty of unused resources on hand, enough to sustain him for a period, so he won't immediately face huge resource demands.

Before leaving, Ye Liuyun also specially greeted Du Yan: "For trade to develop, it cannot be done without a strong army as a guarantee!"

"'I understand this principle, rest assured! As long as Qin Peng's side has need, I will give full support!' Du Yan also expressed his stance, letting him rest easy."

Only then did Ye Liuyun return to Qian Long Academy with peace of mind.

Meanwhile, during his stay on Brave Fierce Island, the entire Moyu was shaken.

A sect of fifty thousand people—even the Moyu prince wouldn't dare provoke it lightly—yet Ye Liuyun wiped it out clean in a single night.

Ye Liuyun's great name immediately spread throughout Moyu.

All Demon Cultivator sects are in panic, constantly worried, fearing Ye Liuyun will also attack them.

The Moyu prince is also quite dissatisfied with Ye Liuyun's cross-border warfare, but exterminating Demon Cultivator sects also meets the dynasty's demands, so he can't say anything.

If he wanted to act against Ye Liuyun, he also feels he lacks the strength, so he can only turn a blind eye for now and see how things go.

After receiving the news, Prince Liang also specially sent people to congratulate Ye Liuyun and brought him news about Prince Xiao.

Prince Xiao has never given up investigating Ye Liuyun.

He has many capable subordinates, and since Ye Liuyun wore Qian Long Academy's uniform when he killed Xiao Moyun, plus his special Golden Pupil, he is easily traced.

Afterwards, they conducted a comprehensive investigation of Ye Liuyun, fully understanding his strength and status.
