Ye Liuyun had also gotten plenty of practice during the battle, though he had disguised himself as a common soldier and remained undetected by the enemy. His divine essence, bloodline, heaven and earth power, and Spatial Force had all been thoroughly tempered as well.

Many of the remaining enemy soldiers and experts had fled, but Ye Liuyun didn’t order any pursuit. Instead, he quit while he was ahead, immediately gathering his troops and storing them in his spatial world before returning to the Death Legion’s base to organize the surrendered soldiers.

In this single battle, using only fifty thousand troops, he had successively defeated five hundred thousand enemy soldiers. First, he crushed two enemy armies in succession, then defeated another army, and repelled two more. The surrendered soldiers he collected numbered over one hundred thousand.

Among them were several thousand experts at the ninth level, more than enough to replenish his losses with plenty to spare. All of this required time to reorganize and process.

He was also worried about retaliation from the Fire Seal Dynasty, fearing they might dispatch a large army against his Death Legion. So upon returning, he immediately sent both his clones far away to monitor any movements in the starry sky.

Then he released the surrendered soldiers and began reorganizing them on the spot.

The demon beasts and women had just recovered when Ye Liuyun sent them more of the eliminated soldiers to fight to their hearts’ content, after which they could return to cultivate and raise their levels.

The two demon legions and the Death Legion were all stored in the spatial world to avoid being harmed by the dynasty’s retaliation.

Only Xiao Heng and the newly subdued one hundred thousand plus surrendered soldiers remained outside for training and reorganization. This way, even if the dynasty sent people to investigate, they wouldn’t immediately notice anything amiss.

The soldiers who had participated in the battle under Ye Liuyun and Xiao Heng were also recuperating within the spatial world.

Ye Liuyun also moved at the fastest speed to select nearly one thousand experts at the middle and late stages of the ninth level to supplement his elite troops. After tallying the numbers, his elite force had grown to over five thousand five hundred, actually exceeding his previous count by five hundred.

As for the one hundred thousand plus army outside, they barely moved after reorganization. Among them were over three thousand soldiers at the ninth level of Unity, nearly thirty thousand at the late stage of Unity, with most of the remainder at the middle stage of Unity and only a small portion at the early stage.

Ye Liuyun felt this could be considered a slightly weaker large army. If the dynasty sent people to inspect, it would match their current situation perfectly. Moreover, these soldiers’ armor was the dynasty’s standard issue, requiring no changes on their part.

He also had Xiao Heng and Li Zhaoyuan take turns coming out to train this army in formation tactics. Even if it was just for show, it had to look convincing.

But in reality, whether Ye Liuyun’s elite troops or Xiao Heng’s fifty thousand soldiers, all were currently cultivating and recovering within the spatial world. The resources they used were all scavenged from this army, requiring no expenditure from Ye Liuyun himself.

And this army was truly miserable, basically having no cultivation resources whatsoever and forced to rely solely on absorbing spiritual energy to recover.

Not long after Ye Liuyun returned, Jiang Yunmo contacted him through a voice transmission talisman: "You wiped out three hundred thousand of the Crown Prince’s troops?"

Ye Liuyun didn’t deny it, directly retorting: "Jiang Yuntian sent people after my women, and I can’t retaliate?"

"Sigh, you can retaliate against him, but wiping out three hundred thousand of the dynasty’s troops—that’s rebel behavior! Father won’t sit idly by!" Jiang Yunmo lamented to Ye Liuyun.

But Ye Liuyun asked her back: "Then tell me, how else was I supposed to retaliate against him? Jiang Yuntian has several hundred thousand troops around him. If I don’t eliminate those soldiers first, I can’t even get to him!"

Jiang Yunmo said directly: "You could have killed the people he sent or caused some chaos in his army! He’s the prince Father favors—did you actually think you could strike at him? It’s a good thing you didn’t directly attack him, or the trouble would be even worse!"

Hearing this, Ye Liuyun laughed in anger: "According to you, I can’t touch him, but he can keep attacking me?"

"He’s a prince! Second only to one, above ten thousand!" Jiang Yunmo said offhandedly.

"So what?" Ye Liuyun asked disdainfully.

"You..." Jiang Yunmo was momentarily at a loss for words, choked by Ye Liuyun. Facing someone who feared nothing, she suddenly felt that anything she said would be superfluous.

She paused, then changed the subject and asked Ye Liuyun: "You’ve caused such a huge mess now—how do you plan to end this? The dynasty will soon send people to investigate you!"

"Whatever, the fighting’s already done anyway," Ye Liuyun said indifferently.

"Worst case, I’ll just leave," he thought to himself.

"I’ll give you a suggestion—you can bring your army back to the Bridge Crossing Galaxy, then hand military authority to me. I can protect you and your army," Jiang Yunmo suggested.

But Ye Liuyun laughed inwardly: "Hmph, here she is again with designs on my army! These princes and princesses all seem to think I’m desperate to cling to the Fire Seal Dynasty?"

But he immediately refused verbally: "No need! I have my own way to deal with this!"

Jiang Yunmo then explained to Ye Liuyun: "Don’t think that I’m trying to seize your military power. I’m doing this to protect you.

The other princes have already applied to the dynasty to strip you of your military authority. If you don’t hand it over to me, it will eventually be taken back by the dynasty and given to the other princes. You might as well give it to me directly. Once the military power falls into their hands, they certainly won’t protect you."

Ye Liuyun just smiled indifferently upon hearing this: "Don’t worry, no one can take my military authority from me!"

"Sigh! I know you’re unwilling in your heart, but the dynasty will definitely send powerful experts to deal with you, and you definitely won’t be a match for those experts from the dynasty!

Against such experts, having more soldiers won’t help..."

Jiang Yunmo painstakingly talked to Ye Liuyun for a long time, but Ye Liuyun had already grown too lazy to listen and simply tossed the communication talisman aside.

Only after she finished did Ye Liuyun reply with a single "Oh."

Jiang Yunmo’s words reminded Ye Liuyun of something. Since the dynasty was going to move against him, maintaining his army’s numbers would be useless anyway. He might as well select some elite soldiers from these hundred thousand-plus troops, and use the remaining ones as cannon fodder for training.

To deal with the dynasty, he still needed his own strength to be formidable.

So he immediately returned to the Duqiao Galaxy System and brought Cui Daoran over as well. Then he had Cui Daoran and Xiao Heng immediately begin selecting and training soldiers.

The remaining three thousand-plus soldiers at the ninth level of Unity were immediately divided up between Xiao Heng and Cui Daoran.

Cui Daoran expanded his Ferocious Bandit Regiment to two thousand men, then began using soldiers at the seventh and eighth levels of Unity for practice.

Xiao Heng also selected some soldiers he was satisfied with from those at the eighth level of Unity, expanding his legion by another ten thousand men, then began using mid-level Unity soldiers for practice.

The other eliminated soldiers were all kept for everyone to practice on. The corpses were all given to the Demonic Vine to devour.

As for the demon beasts and women, Ye Liuyun also had them cultivate in his clone’s inner world for a while before coming out to practice, fighting to their hearts’ content before returning to continue cultivating.
