The smiles on the faces of the two commanders imdiately froze!
They were in a difficult situation. They didn't want to fight desperately, but they couldn't leave either. Rebelling would lead to punishnt by the Dynasty.
Moreover, there was nowhere else for them to go. They couldn't afford to fail in the city defense.
"If we both leave, what will happen to this city? Why don't we stay here and defend it instead?"
One of the commanders suggested, trying to find an alternative solution since they couldn't refuse outright.
"No need! This city doesn't need human defenders! Just leave it to those puppets and devil cultivators. Right now, get all the people off the city walls and prepare to march!" Ye Liuyun ordered.
"Can those puppets really defend this place?" One commander asked incredulously.
"I say they can, so they can!"
Ye Liuyun replied confidently. He imdiately left the city and arranged the Formation Flag around the city walls.
Upon seeing Ye Liuyun setting up the formation flags, the Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince understood that this city should be able to hold its ground.
"Are you two staying here, or are you going with them?" Ye Liuyun asked them proactively.
If they stayed here, he could ensure their safety even if he couldn't hold this city.
But if they split up and went with the two commanders to defend the other cities, it would be more dangerous.
They both understood Ye Liuyun's intention.
"It's okay, we'll go with them. Don't worry, we both have life-saving tricks up our sleeves!" The Fourth Prince reassured Ye Liuyun.
"Alright then! Take care, both of you!"
Ye Liuyun didn't insist further. Even though they were princes, they couldn't be overly protected. Otherwise, they wouldn't gain the experience they needed.
"How are you planning to defeat that foreign race guy?" The Crown Prince curiously asked.
Ye Liuyun just smiled. "He didn't specify how to fight, did he? Well, I certainly won't engage him in a fight. That would be asking for trouble!"
"Planning to play dirty?" The Crown Prince chuckled.
"What do you an by playing dirty? This is called strategic deception! Is he more justified challenging my Sacred Terra Second Stage as a Sacred Terra Eighth Stage?" Ye Liuyun retorted with a smile.
"You're really sothing! So when are we setting out?" The Fourth Prince raised his thumb in admiration.
We're setting out now. Head to the two cities and wait there. As soon as they withdraw, you imdiately occupy them! After taking over, inspect the city defenses imdiately to prevent any spies left behind."
"And be prepared; the foreign race will definitely counterattack. Hold your ground until the other armies arrive to reinforce you!" Ye Liuyun didn't deceive them this ti. He spoke frankly and honestly.
"Got it!" They both agreed seriously, ntally preparing themselves for the task ahead.
After giving all the instructions, Ye Liuyun scanned the area with his Divine Sense.
e noticed that the two commanders, albeit unwillingly, had gathered their forces.
Then, they left the city separately, one from the eastern gate and the other from the western gate, accompanying the two princes.
Ba Helei and his group had been observing Ye Liuyun's movents
Seeing signs of troop movents, they imdiately sent the devil cultivator to inquire about the situation.
"Why are you mobilizing troops?" The devil cultivator asked Ye Liuyun.
"I'm having them prepared to receive the cities!" Ye Liuyun replied with a smile.
"Humph! Are you so sure you'll win?" The devil cultivator asked back, snorting.
"I think I will win. As for the reasons... I can tell you..."
Ye Liuyun engaged the devil cultivator in conversation while playing the Jiuyou Song with his Divine Soul, subtly manipulating the conversation.
Recently, Ye Liuyun absorbed a significant amount of Divine Soul power during battles. So, after his cultivation level increased, his Divine Soul power had also seen substantial growth.
In contrast, the devil cultivator had a relatively low cultivation level, just at Sacred Terra First Stage. Bachelei had worried about him betraying and thus deliberately brought soone of lower cultivation. Consequently, Ye Liuyun easily controlled the devil cultivator.
"Ba Helei is powerful enough to battle soone at Sacred Terra Ninth Stage. Master, please be cautious..." The devil cultivator, now under Ye Liuyun's control, imdiately shared Ba Helei's strength and related details.
"Is his Divine Soul power strong?" Ye Liuyun inquired.
"It's comparable to his level. Not exceptionally strong, but definitely not weak either!" The devil cultivator responded.
Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun felt even more confident. Using Divine Soul attacks wouldn't be considered underhanded tricks.
"Alright, I understand. You can go back now. Just say I insist on the presence of the two city lords as witnesses; I don't want them to back out later. Once everyone is present, I'll co down and face him!" Ye Liuyun instructed.
"Yes!"
The devil cultivator responded. To avoid arousing suspicion from Ba Helei, he didn't bow to Ye Liuyun and simply returned to report to Ba Helei.
"These human martial practitioners are quite troubleso! Go, call the two city lords here. I want to see how he plans to defeat !" Ba Helei said confidently.
Soon, the foreign race lords of the two cities were brought forward.
They wore reluctant expressions but had no choice against Ba Helei's authority. Even the commanders of their armies couldn't oppose him, let alone them.
When Ye Liuyun saw them arriving, he ventured out of the city alone to et Ba Helei.
Ba Helei, accompanied by his entourage, also approached Ye Liuyun, and both parties faced off under the city walls.
Ba Helei disdainfully regarded Ye Liuyun and directly transmitted his voice, asking, "How do you plan to defeat ?"
Ye Liuyun simply smiled. "Now that I've told you, wouldn't it be less effective if we really fought? In any case, you're already dood! Co on, make your move!"
"Hmph, smooth talker! Watch how I'll roast you and eat you after I kill you later!"
Ba Helei retorted. He roared and wasted no more ti, directly mobilizing his genuine energy, preparing to attack.
Ye Liuyun sneered and released the Devil-sealing Stele.
"I already told you that you're destined to lose!"
Upon seeing Ye Liuyun using a precious artifact, Ba Helei promptly took out a foreign race shield, presumably another precious item.
However, his shield proved useless in the face of the Devil-sealing Stele.
The stele enlarged and smashed down, directly suppressing Ba Helei underneath, absorbing his energy.
The surrounding foreign race mbers were left dumbfounded.
In just one exchange, before a single move was made, Ba Helei was defeated.
"Help !"
After struggling for a mont, Ba Helei let out a muffled roar.
He could feel his energy being rapidly drained, and he was utterly suppressed under the Devil-sealing Stele. There was no way he could break free using his own power.
The devil cultivator quickly transmitted Ba Helei's intention to Ye Liuyun.
"What? Do you all want to attack together?" Ye Liuyun remained indifferent, still smiling in his place.
Several foreign race mbers rushed towards Ba Helei. However, as soon as they got close to the Devil-sealing Stele, they were also sucked in.
anwhile, other foreign race mbers attacked Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun released Blue Serpentine and Vespera to help defend against the attacks while using his Divine Soul to counterattack the other foreign race mbers.
He instructed the Devil-sealing Stele, Blue Serpentine, and Vespera not to kill Ba Helei and the two commanders.
