Chapter 955
Let's go check the situation first; if we can't win, we'll think of another plan.
Based on the information he received, Ye Liuyun knew that the foreign tribe had hidden ambush forces, and the strong ones had also been sent to assassinate the Demon Race Holy Son, so there shouldn't be too much strength.
The remaining ordinary demon cultivator disciples are just right for those elite troops to practice on.
The Fourth Prince's side didn't dare delay either; they immediately reported the confirmed information to the dynasty, asking the dynasty to send more reinforcements to protect the Demon Race Holy Son.
The Demon Race is a very important force in resisting the foreign tribe.
If the Demon Race Holy Son dies in the Daxia Dynasty, it's not just a simple weakening of the Demon Race's strength.
It could also cause a misunderstanding, creating a rift between the Demon Race and the Daxia Dynasty and sabotaging their cooperation.
This is also why the foreign tribe is seizing the opportunity, sparing no effort to deploy so many hidden forces to assassinate the Demon Race Holy Son.
On their march, Ye Liuyun and his group have been discussing with Qin Peng the strategy for attacking the sect.
I'll also join you in battle this time!
Ye Liuyun felt that lately he had been relying mostly on feral beasts and Yin souls in battle, causing himself to lack combat experience.
My lord, even if those sects have sent out their strong ones, they still have many disciples!
Qin Peng worried that Ye Liuyun would be in danger; once the two sides started fighting, he wouldn't be able to look after Ye Liuyun.
After all, any sect can have tens of thousands of disciples. Ye Liuyun is only at the Yin Yang Nine Layers realm, which is really too low, making it likely he'll encounter danger.
Don't worry, I have ways to preserve my life; by then I won't need you to look after me! Just follow your plan!
After Ye Liuyun gave his instructions to Qin Peng, he released the feral beasts and assigned them their tasks.
He also distributed some of the high-rank treasures he had captured and defensive treasures against Spiritual Soul Attack to these feral beasts, increasing their trump cards for survival.
These feral beasts are mainly for dealing with Alien Evil Artifact experts.
As for the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner and the Magic Vine, Ye Liuyun does not intend to use them in battle.
The Skeleton Puppet is still responsible for controlling the Soul Banner, absorbing the Yin souls of those who died in battle.
The Magic Vine is what he keeps for cleaning up the battlefield.
Once everything was ready, they abandoned the warship ahead of time and rushed straight to a demon cultivator sect to attack.
Since Ye Liuyun's group didn't mobilize the entire fleet this time, they hardly caused any stir.
That demon cultivator sect had taken no defensive measures at all, and Ye Liuyun's group simply charged straight through its mountain gate.
Ye Liuyun specially picked Martial Cultivators at the Zao Hua Third Realm to hone himself; the Demon Slaying Sword and Qiankun Palm were extremely effective against these demon cultivators, always letting him emerge unscathed.
After a while, he felt the pressure wasn't enough and began challenging demon cultivators at the Zao Hua Fourth Realm.
His attack speed was much slower than the soldiers'.
The soldiers' task is to accomplish the assault, seeking attack speed and coordination with each other.
With a few of them working together, they can even attack Martial Cultivators at the Zao Hua Eighth or Ninth Realm.
But Ye Liuyun is training himself through combat, so gradually he has fallen behind the main force.
A Martial Cultivator at the Zao Hua Fourth Realm opposite him fought Ye Liuyun to a standstill.
Ye Liuyun held the Demon Slaying Sword in one hand and unleashed the Qiankun Palm with the other, suppressing him.
He even used spirit-energy arrows to assist the attack.
Although that demon cultivator had a clear advantage in realm, he could do nothing against Ye Liuyun and couldn't even get near him.
Every time he tried to use spatial power to approach Ye Liuyun, Ye Liuyun's spirit-energy arrows blocked him, and then Ye Liuyun forced him out of the void with the Demon Slaying Sword.
This time, he seized the opening when Ye Liuyun drew his sword, rushed into the seventh layer of void again, intending to ambush Ye Liuyun from within the void.
Suddenly, he felt the space around him solidify. He stood there, unable to exit or move.
Immediately afterward, he felt the space around him being squeezed by a higher-level space.
Such powerful spatial force was something he could not resist at all.
Before he could even react, another spatial force crushed him into bloody mist.
Alas! Even with my strength, I still can't beat a Zao Hua Fourth Realm opponent!
Ye Liuyun sighed, waved his hand, and dispersed the spatial force.
He had exhausted all his strength, the true essence in his elixir field was completely drained, and he still wasn't a match for that Zao Hua Fourth Realm demon cultivator.
In the end, he could only rely on spatial locking and spatial squeezing to crush that demon cultivator to death.
His Qiankun Palm, though powerful, could only suppress opponents whose level was too high; he couldn't win by relying on the Qiankun Palm alone.
After exterminating the foreign tribe and pacifying the Moyu, it's time to return to the academy and break through into the Zao Hua Realm.
Thinking that to himself, he caught up with the main force again and went to find someone to keep fighting.
The battle lasted more than half a day, until the demon cultivator sect was nearly wiped out, yet Ye Liuyun still saw no sign of the foreign tribe.
Could the intelligence be wrong?
Ye Liuyun was somewhat doubtful.
However, this sect indeed had hardly any high-rank experts; they took advantage of the vacancy and easily seized the sect.
He had the Ice Demon Tiger wound an elder obviously emanating evil aura, then handed him over for a soul search.
After the search, he learned that two Foreign Tribe high-rank experts were cultivating inside a secret realm of this sect.
Thus, even if the outside was in chaos, they inside the secret realm knew nothing.
Ye Liuyun also learned that inside that secret realm there is a special tower-shaped treasure that can communicate with the southern Foreign Tribe.
Now this secret realm has become the channel linking the Foreign Tribe here with the southern Foreign Tribe, and even allows venerables to travel back and forth.
Many Foreign Tribe experts have come here through this secret realm.
Moreover, hidden inside that secret realm is the secret of how the Foreign Tribe transforms demon cultivators; many demon cultivators bearing evil aura have become strong precisely because they underwent a crystal-core alteration within that secret realm.
We must destroy this secret realm, seize that treasure, and cut off the Foreign Tribe's communication line.
Ye Liuyun immediately made up his mind.
If this passage is not blocked, then the Moyu here will never have a day of peace.
The secret of the Foreign Tribe's transformation of Demon Cultivators, Ye Liuyun has also been very curious. Perhaps he can, through this investigation, find a method to break the Foreign Tribe's transformation of human Demon Cultivators.
He first let the feral beasts guard the entrance and exit of the Secret Realm, and had Qin Peng lead the soldiers to loot valuables. The Magic Vine was also thrown out by him, absorbing the energy contained within the corpses.
The Skeleton Puppet has already absorbed all the Yin Souls here into the Hundred-Refined Soul Banner, and Ye Liuyun has collected it.
After Qin Peng and his men finish cleaning up the battlefield, Ye Liuyun then has Qin Peng activate the sect's mountain-protecting grand formation for defense, lest other Demon Cultivator sects attack.
"You only defend, do not attack; wait here for me. I will go hunt down those two Foreign Tribe."
