Chapter 947

Qin Peng also handed over all the materials seized last time from the Xiao Prince's Mansion to Ye Liuyun.

He needed resources and could ask Ye Liuyun for them, but he didn't mess with those seized materials.

After Ye Liuyun scanned the area with his divine sense, he handed all the resources over to Qin Peng to handle himself.

The most valuable possessions of the Xiao Prince were all in his personal storage ring, and they had become Ye Liuyun's spoils.

What Qin Peng handed over were some storage rings of martial cultivators and ordinary supplies from the Prince's Mansion, which were more suitable for him to handle.

Inside there were also large quantities of military supplies, which Qin Peng could use to expand the army.

"How is the recruitment going?" Ye Liuyun cared about the defensive strength after the Moyu battle.

"Just started not long ago, it can't be formed that quickly!" Qin Peng was also anxious.

He also knew that without defensive strength, they couldn't attack Moyu; otherwise, after taking it, they might end up benefiting others.

Moving the Heaven‑Swallowing Beast to Moyu's Yi Cheng would be fine, but then the garrisons of Yonglie Island and Ningyu Hou would lack defensive strength.

Recruiting soldiers isn't something that can be finished in a short time. Moreover, since both Ye Liuyun and he demand quality, the speed is even slower.

"It's fine, this kind of thing can't be rushed. Just do your best!"

Ye Liuyun also knew recruiting wasn't easy, so he wasn't in a hurry. After comforting Qin Peng with a sentence, he returned to the Hou's residence to cultivate.

He returned to the Xuan Kong Shi, first raising his cultivation to the Yin-Yang Ninth Layer.

If he hadn't deliberately suppressed his cultivation, he would have already broken through to the Yin-Yang Ninth Layer.

So now, as long as he slightly absorbs energy, he immediately breaks through his realm smoothly.

"Next time I break through, I can use the token of the Dragon‑Abyss Pool. I don't know what effect it will have!" Ye Liuyun was actually very eager for that Dragon‑Abyss Pool.

If there were no obvious effect, the Crown Prince and Seventh Prince and others wouldn't care so much about that Dragon‑Abyss Pool's token.

In the following time, Ye Liuyun kept bringing the ferocious beasts to train inside the Xuan Kong Shi.

Each day he spent half a day sparring in combat practice with the ferocious beasts inside the Space World.

He would also set aside half a day to concoct pills for the soldiers, to save military expenses.

After one month inside the Xuan Kong Shi, his realm stabilized at the early stage of the Yin-Yang Ninth Layer, and after repeatedly compressing his various powers, he could go out to fight.

The dragon‑eagle, ice demon tiger and other ferocious beasts also, after undergoing various battles and having sufficient energy reserves, saw their realms rise somewhat.

However, for a Sovereign‑rank expert to raise a realm, it takes much longer. They have only just broken through not long ago, so they haven't yet broken through again.

Inside the Hundred‑Refined Soul Banner, a sixth‑layer Sovereign‑rank blood‑colored bat, a sixth‑layer Sovereign‑rank martial cultivator's yin soul, and two fourth‑layer Sovereign‑rank suan‑ni yin souls were all well cultivated.

Ye Liuyun could keep them to carry out individual assassination missions.

The other forty‑plus Sovereign‑rank yin souls were all incorporated by the Asuras into the yin soul army, training and cultivating daily, and their combat power saw a noticeable increase.

Currently Ye Liuyun's yin soul army has expanded to a hundred thousand yin soldiers. This force is already almost enough to guard a prefecture city.

However, the weakness of yin souls is also obvious. They can only attack others' souls. Once the opponent has a treasure that resists soul attacks, yin souls become completely ineffective.

Therefore Ye Liuyun has always treated this yin soul army as an auxiliary force, never relying on it completely.

Afterward, Ye Liuyun did not continue staying in the Xuan Kong Shi to cultivate; instead he got up and rushed to Yingzui Island.

"Lord Hou, the Moyu Alliance might send people to attack you on the road!"

When Qin Peng saw Ye Liuyun about to go out, he reminded Ye Liuyun: "Shall I send people to escort you?"

"No need, I have it figured out, you can relax!"

Ye Liuyun had actually already received the news: the Moyu Alliance had already stationed experts near Yonglie Island; as soon as he left, he would be watched.

The person who passed him the message was precisely those demons and demon cultivators he had captured last time.

The reason he went to Yingzui Island was, on one hand, to confirm with King Liang the fact that he had gained the support of the two princes; on the other hand, he also wanted to first deal with the Moyu members around Yonglie Island.

The nine demon cultivators he had been observing in the Space World all along have worked very well. After such a long time with no mishap, he is now very confident of taking over Moyu.

After Ye Liuyun flew out of Yonglie Island, he was still worried that the dragon‑eagle's speed was too fast and would lose its tail, so he specifically told the dragon‑eagle to fly slower.

After the dragon‑eagle had flown for half a day, the experts of the Moyu Alliance then surrounded Ye Liuyun.

From Sovereigns to Yin‑Yang Realm cultivators, the total number had already exceeded two hundred.

"Not bad at all!"

Ye Liuyun gave a faint smile and released the Nine Nether Prelude.

As soon as the demonic music sounded, the demons reacted most strongly, followed by those cultivators of demonic arts, who were also affected; even Sovereign‑rank experts were no exception.

The Nine Nether Prelude, aside from affecting demons, impacts those demon cultivators more strongly the longer they have practiced demonic arts.

Conversely, those with low cultivation and short time practicing demonic arts are not easily affected.

After Ye Liuyun subdued these people, he then had them bring him to capture, one by one, all the Moyu scouts around Yonglie Island.

Those who were not demon cultivators were slain by Sovereign‑rank experts.

Only after all the scouts sent out by Moyu had been wiped clean did Ye Liuyun rush to Yingzui Island.

And those Moyu members still guarded the vicinity of Yonglie Island, except that the information they reported thereafter was all according to Ye Liuyun's instructions.

From then on, the Moyu Alliance received only news that Ye Liuyun remained stationed in Yonglie Island, never leaving.

Even the garrison of Yonglie Island saw no change.

Actually, recently Yonglie Island has had warships delivering new troops every day, which are then turned over to Qin Peng for unified training, with countless troops.

After Ye Liuyun finished communicating with King Liang, he also often sneaked away from Yonglie Island to subdue some demons or demon cultivator minor sects.

These sects did not join the Moyu Alliance; in the future they could potentially become forces resisting Moyu's rule.

Ye Liuyun's actions were equivalent to striking ahead of time to clear obstacles for himself.

At the same time, those subdued demons or sects also became Ye Liuyun's eyes and ears, providing him with various information.

After two months, Qin Peng had already recruited seventy thousand soldiers.

This speed was already quite fast, but it still only completed half of Ye Liuyun's task.

"Almost enough!" Ye Liuyun calculated a bit and felt that this number was sufficient.

"But the Brave Fierce Island and Marquis Ningyu Garrison at least need to leave thirty thousand troops stationed. Those remaining to go to Yi Cheng are still less than fifty thousand; can this number suffice?"

Qin Peng worries that even if they capture Yi Cheng, they might not be able to hold it.

Ye Liuyun, however, smiled and said: "Don't worry! Once those Demon Race and Demon Cultivator are subdued, they will also become our allies."
