The clone was forcing the surrendered soldiers to sign loyalty contracts, even subduing the hundred experts Jiang Yunfei had released.
Jiang Yunfei dared not resist now and directly threw his Interspatial Ring to Ye Liuyun.
"And the resources in your spatial world!"
Ye Liuyun swept a glance over his Interspatial Ring. After finding no living creatures inside, he put it away directly.
"Don’t go too far. I’m a prince, after all..." Jiang Yunfei, seeing that Ye Liuyun had stopped, began to doubt whether Ye Liuyun truly dared to kill him. Thus, he started probing Ye Liuyun again.
But Ye Liuyun didn’t wait for him to finish speaking. A blade sliced toward his neck.
Jiang Yunfei panicked and raised his hand to block, only to have that hand severed by Ye Liuyun.
"Argh!"
Jiang Yunfei cried out in alarm, but immediately, Ye Liuyun’s blade struck again, sending him flying once more.
This time, his protective garment finally failed to withstand it. A savage gash was torn open across his chest by Ye Liuyun.
"Idiot, try putting on airs with me again! If you don’t hand over the things in your spatial world right now, I’ll make sure you never get another chance to take them out!" Ye Liuyun threatened him.
"I’ll hand them over, I’ll hand them over! Don’t attack!"
Jiang Yunfei was truly terrified this time. He repeatedly begged Ye Liuyun to stop while continuously throwing things out.
"Send your soul into my sea of consciousness. I’ll verify whether you’ve taken everything out!" Ye Liuyun pointed his blade tip at him, threatening.
He didn’t know what treasures these princes had in their seas of consciousness and dared not attempt anything rash. So he made up a random excuse to have Jiang Yunfei place his soul into his sea of consciousness.
"Alright!"
Jiang Yunfei immediately agreed.
Just now, the royal family’s experts had released their souls without managing to do anything to Ye Liuyun. So he harbored no hope of killing Ye Liuyun and directly released his own soul into Ye Liuyun’s sea of consciousness, only begging to preserve his own life.
Ye Liuyun also unhesitatingly performed a soul search. He not only confirmed what resources were in Jiang Yunfei’s spatial world but also verified what protective treasures these princes had in their seas of consciousness.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yunfei didn’t know about others’ situations. Ye Liuyun only discovered that besides a Poison Soul Flower, his sea of consciousness also contained a defensive great bell and a powerful soul guardian.
After learning this, Ye Liuyun felt it was nothing much. So after Jiang Yunfei handed over all his resources, he released two of his own souls, charged into Jiang Yunfei’s sea of consciousness, and directly dragged that guardian soul into his own sea of consciousness.
Then he launched another attack, dragging Jiang Yunfei’s remaining soul into his sea of consciousness as well, devouring them all. Finally, he burned the corpse to ashes with a single flame, leaving nothing behind.
All the imperial soldiers and the guards Jiang Yunfei had released were dumbfounded.
"This Ye Liuyun actually dared to kill a prince!"
"A prince of the dynasty, just casually annihilated by him?"
The way they looked at Ye Liuyun now was filled with terror. In their hearts, the dynasty was their heaven. No one dared to even think of killing a prince. They now rejoiced that they had surrendered early; otherwise, Ye Liuyun truly would have slaughtered them all.
Ye Liuyun’s battle this time not only annihilated ten thousand imperial soldiers but also killed a prince. This likely meant he had thoroughly offended the Fire Seal Dynasty.
So even though they were forced to sign loyalty contracts, they felt their futures were uncertain. They estimated that Ye Liuyun, opposing the dynasty, would ultimately meet no good end. And their fates were merely a matter of dying sooner or later.
"All imperial soldiers, remove your armor immediately, hand over your resources, and join the Ferocious Soldier Bandit Group!"
Ye Liuyun glanced at these standing-still imperial soldiers and immediately issued the order.
He then secretly sent a voice transmission to Cui Daoran, telling him to have these praetorian serve as vanguard later, intercepting the hundred thousand praetorian that were about to arrive. Cui Daoran’s bandit army didn’t wear armor at all.
Cui Daoran immediately began collecting resources from them, taking their storage rings and armor to avoid having to clean up the battlefield after the fight. Then he promptly started giving these soldiers a lecture.
"In the battle ahead, if you trash don’t fight with your lives, you’re doomed to die. Our Ferocious Soldier Bandit Group doesn’t keep trash..."
The newly surrendered imperial guard soldiers listened, on the verge of tears.
Cui Daoran didn’t care what expressions they made. In any case, these people all had loyalty contracts binding them. When the fighting started later, he only needed to order them to fight to the death without retreating.
At the same time, the warship carrying a hundred thousand imperial guard soldiers also began landing.
Xiao Heng still hid far away like a scout, observing Ye Liuyun’s movements. Several soul-powerful martial cultivators in the warship noticed him, assuming he was someone sent by a prince or the dynasty to monitor Ye Liuyun’s army, so they ignored him.
The hundred thousand praetorian also formed ranks directly, preparing to charge straight at Ye Liuyun’s garrison camp.
They held absolute advantages in both numbers and strength, so they didn’t care what schemes Ye Liuyun might play, believing they could sweep through Ye Liuyun’s army directly.
Before landing, they had received the latest order personally issued by Fire Seal King: annihilate Ye Liuyun’s army, especially Ye Liuyun himself—dead or alive.
Fire Seal King was truly furious this time, blaming himself for previously underestimating Ye Liuyun. He hadn’t expected Ye Liuyun would actually dare to kill a prince.
Now he was determined to kill Ye Liuyun and completely eliminate this threat. However, he worried that a hundred thousand praetorian alone might not be enough to exterminate Ye Liuyun, at most only able to destroy Ye Liuyun’s army while possibly letting Ye Liuyun escape.
So he immediately mobilized the two nearest armies to Ye Liuyun, ordering them to assist in encircling him. At the same time, he also dispatched two hundred late-stage Return to One Ninth Level experts from the royal palace to kill Ye Liuyun.
Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun was actually secretly delighted.
These hundred thousand praetorian were all at Return to One Ninth Level cultivation. Even if most were only early-stage Return to One Ninth Level soldiers, they were still Return to One Ninth Level experts after all.
Fire Seal Dynasty had just sent him a hundred thousand soldiers—how could he not be happy? Even if these soldiers couldn’t enter the battlefield, they made excellent sparring partners.
So this time he also drew his Demon-Slaying Blade, preparing to enter battle. The Demon-Slaying Blade hummed with excitement, even more warlike than him. His first clone also rushed back to join the fun, unwilling to miss this training opportunity.
Once the imperial guard forces approached, Ye Liuyun waved his blade and commanded the five thousand surrendered soldiers to charge directly. Then he and Cui Daoran led two thousand soldiers in pursuit, followed by Li Zhaoyuan leading sixty thousand Return to One Eighth Level soldiers advancing in formation.
At the same time, the two clones each led fewer than three thousand men in flanking assaults from both sides, dividing the hundred thousand praetorian.
"Ye Liuyun, facing the dynasty’s praetorian, you still intend to resist?"
The opposing commander, seeing only unarmored soldiers charging over, completely dismissed them, assuming Ye Liuyun’s army was merely a mob of rabble.
