After waiting for several days without any movement from the locals, Ye Liuyun couldn’t help but feel somewhat disappointed.
Just as he was preparing to make another move, he finally discovered that a group of tribal women were riding toward him on Azure Wind Wolves, a type of beast with relatively strong Spatial Force.
"Finally some movement. But why are they all women?"
Ye Liuyun felt delighted, yet upon noticing that the arrivals were all women, he couldn’t help but feel quite puzzled.
Moreover, these women were clearly different from the tribal people he had encountered before. The animal hides they wore were remarkably similar in pattern and identical in style. They all carried long spears and short swords at their waists. Their equipment, clothing, and even their Azure Wind Wolf mounts were remarkably uniform.
"Could they be some chieftain’s attendants?" Ye Liuyun speculated to himself.
The tribal people he had seen previously didn’t seem to place much importance on women, which led him to this guess.
Once those women arrived here, one of them rode her Azure Wind Wolf forward and shouted toward the warship: "Whoever is inside, come out and speak!"
Ye Liuyun directly sent his clone out to communicate with those women.
The moment the clone appeared, all the women released bloodline pressure on him in an attempt to suppress him through this means.
These women’s cultivation levels were all at the early to middle stages of the Ninth Realm—not particularly strong—but their power of bloodline was indeed not weak.
However, for his current clone, this was simply not worth mentioning. Ye Liuyun and his clone’s power of bloodline wasn’t much weaker than any single one of them individually; after two infusions of ten percent power of bloodline from source energy sources—if he wished—he could easily turn around and suppress these people instead.
But he didn’t reveal his strength; he merely pretended to resist with difficulty without making any move against them. His Golden Pupils had already observed that those women weren’t using true essence either—they weren’t genuinely trying to attack him; they were likely testing his power of bloodline.
The leading woman showed slight surprise in her eyes when she saw that the clone could barely resist their pressure, but she still directly asked him: "Were you the ones who stole our planets?"
The clone instead countered: "Who are you people? What authority do you have to question me?"
"We are the Guardian Warriors of this star system—we have the right to protect it!" The woman replied proudly.
"Guardian Warriors?" This was Ye Liuyun’s first time hearing this term; he felt quite curious about it too. When he had soul-searched local cultivators before—no one seemed aware of it either!
"This name sounds like a protective force. Hopefully they can make decisions! At least they should be able to convey our intentions!"
So Ye Liuyun also had his clone explain: "We originally wanted to exchange resources with you—but no matter which tribe we approached—we were directly rejected—and even pursued and robbed—so we took action by collecting away those planets."
"If you can make decisions—we can discuss exchanging resources directly with you—we have resources you need—for example cultivation techniques..."
Before his clone could finish speaking—that woman impatiently waved her hand—and said decisively: "We don’t care about all that—since you’ve admitted that you stole those planets—it makes things simple! Prepare yourselves for battle! We Guardian Warriors will take action against you!"
His clone was completely speechless at this point—
In the end—he could only ask helplessly: "Can’t we properly discuss terms first?"
That woman however said disdainfully: "Discussing terms is something that happens after battle—the victor has qualification to discuss terms!"
Upon hearing these words—the clone understood what rules they recognized—and immediately responded as well: "Understood! We also declare war upon you—not just frontal army battles—but also including various methods of collecting your planets—you may return and prepare for war then!"
"Good then!"
That woman also nodded seriously in confirmation—then turned around leading her group back away—
"Fight then—at least now I know their attitude—and understand their rules!"
Ye Liuyun notified Yu Xiaofeng about everything discussed during this conversation—
Thus Yu Xiaofeng along with other commanders—and various armies—all released by Ye Liuyun afterward——
Yu Xiaofeng even directly released an island to serve as the army’s camp, having formation masters help set up defensive arrays. Since this island was within his own spatial world, he could more conveniently monitor everything happening on it, using it as bait to trap any enemy cultivators who dared to enter.
The ferocious beasts with strong Spatial Force and the Golden-Eyed Cheetahs that Ye Liuyun had previously captured were all distributed around the perimeter of the island for defense.
Warships and equipment were also brought out. The army already had over fifteen hundred firepower chariots, capable of blockading the entire island.
As for the puppet army, two thousand True Rank Nine puppets had been refined, along with ten thousand True Rank Eight puppets, all equipped with Void Rank armor.
The various armies had long since finished their cultivation and were itching for a fight. After this period of training, all the soldiers’ bloodline powers had been greatly enhanced; they would no longer be suppressed so heavily by local cultivators.
The two demon legions would also participate in this battle. Having devoured large numbers of tribal cultivator corpses, their bloodline powers had improved, and most soldiers’ realms had risen to Return One Sixth Level. Some commanders and powerful individuals had even reached Return One Eighth Level.
They truly had taken Ye Liuyun and Yu Xiaofeng’s advice to heart, focusing on cultivating an elite force. They planned to further enhance their soul power in this battle.
The cultivators here possessed relatively weak soul power—cultivators and ferocious beasts of the same realm would not surpass them in this regard.
Ye Liuyun assigned Moyang and Mohai, the two demon dragons, along with two zombie puppets to them. He also had Cui Daoran allocate five thousand soldiers from the Black Armor Elite Regiment to them, plus gave them two thousand metal puppets to supplement their high-end combat strength.
The remaining twenty thousand Black Armor elites were prepared to cooperate with Xiao Heng’s eighty thousand troops and Li Zhaoyuan’s eighty thousand troops as the main attacking force. The Death Legion’s one hundred fifty thousand soldiers would still serve as the primary defensive force, stationed with firepower chariots.
Within Ye Liuyun and his two clones’ spatial worlds were another two hundred thousand ferocious beasts collected from conquered planets—they could assist with defense when needed.
Leng Qianyu and the remaining twenty-some experts by Ye Liuyun’s side all stayed at central command to protect Yu Xiaofeng. Their Spatial Force and soul power were sufficient to cover the entire island; with them present, those local cultivators certainly wouldn’t have any chance of assassinating Yu Xiaofeng.
Ye Liuyun and his clones could now confidently continue targeting planets in the Burning Blood Star System.
Their movements were faster this time. After landing on a planet, Wu Qingcheng would blow her horn once before leaving a clone behind to wait for collecting the planet; then they immediately rushed off to the next one—same routine: blow horn once then leave a clone behind while Ye Liuyun took her rushing toward yet another planet.
Soon three adjacent planets successively experienced ferocious beast rampages once again.
The local tribal cultivators knew Ye Liuyun had begun his operation but remained helpless against it—they only knew how resist being killed by rampaging beasts.
