Lord of All Gods

Chapter 1246: Chapter 1246 It Is All About Deception

Ye Liuyun couldn’t simply trust the foreign race based on their words alone.

He insisted that the leaders of the other two foreign race armies come to the front lines to confirm the agreement.

Ba Helei felt very displeased with Ye Liuyun’s lack of trust.

He gave an order to the foreign races around him, and some of them immediately ran toward the other two cities.

Soon enough, representatives from the other two cities’ armies were brought to the scene.

The leaders of the two armies also showed great respect to Ba Helei.

"You should believe it now, right?" The devil cultivator on the other side asked Ye Liuyun.

Ye Liuyun replied calmly, "Let them agree on the spot, and then I will believe!"

He held all the cards now, there was no need for him to rush.

Ba Helei, in order to get Ye Liuyun to agree to the challenge, was ready to comply with any of Ye Liuyun’s demands.

Although he felt resentful, Ba Helei had no choice but to comply if Ye Liuyun did not agree to fight him one-on-one.

After he arrived, he realized that the human martial forces were not as simple as he had initially thought.

The leaders of the two armies were also taken aback by Ye Liuyun’s conditions.

Even though Ba Helei’s realm far surpassed Ye Liuyun’s, they didn’t dare to bet on the cities.

They pleaded with Ba Helei to change the conditions.

Seeing them discussing, Ye Liuyun knew that Ba Helei had no real authority in the foreign race army.

"Just a figurehead! Let’s see what tricks he has up his sleeve!"

Ye Liuyun sneered, standing on the city wall, observing the spectacle.

His contemptuous expression didn’t escape Ba Helei’s notice.

With his proud temperament, he couldn’t bear being looked down upon by a human martial practitioner.

However, the two commanders kept trying to persuade him, which only made him angrier.

He took out a golden token from his Interspatial Ring and slammed it onto one of the commander’s faces.

The two commanders trembled in fear, immediately falling to their knees. They carefully picked up the golden token and handed it back to Ba Helei, holding it with utmost reverence.

Seeing this, Ye Liuyun chuckled inwardly, "He does have something up his sleeve." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

However, he didn’t show it on his face. In fact, he feigned nervousness, his brows furrowing slightly.

Ba Helei, seeing this, wore a smug expression on his face.

He instructed the two commanders to loudly declare in front of the formation that if he failed, they would immediately withdraw from the city.

In the history of warfare, these commanders had never gone back on their word.

With their assurance, Ye Liuyun felt a sense of relief.

"Alright then! Since you’re so sincere, I can agree to fight you. But it will be ten days from now," Ye Liuyun finally consented.

"Ten days? Are you trying to take the opportunity to rest and then cheat?" The devil cultivator asked on behalf of Ba Helei.

Ye Liuyun chuckled, "I need to prepare, don’t I? His realm is so much higher than mine. I need these ten days to try and advance to the next level!"

"Roar!"

Ba Helei roared in response.

He was mocking Ye Liuyun. Even if he advanced a level in ten days, he wouldn’t be a match for Ba Helei.

He immediately had the devil cultivator promise Ye Liuyun and then turned away, not lingering any longer.

Ye Liuyun had to go down the city wall to prepare.

"Are you confident?" The Fourth Prince asked with concern.

"No!"

Ye Liuyun smiled, offering no more words as he walked away, leaving the two princes and commanders staring at each other.

He needed to immediately contact Qin Peng and finalize the plan to take over the two cities. The ten-day period was what he had promised Qin Peng.

As for the fight with Ba Helei, he would certainly try to enhance his realm. However, with only ten days, even within the Xuankong Stone, he had only a hundred days.

Just after advancing his realm, it was impossible to make another breakthrough in such a short time.

In Ye Liuyun’s mind, he had already made up his decision not to confront Ba Helei head-on. Their realms clearly spoke for themselves!

Ba Helei was rushing to challenge him, suggesting he might be attempting to take advantage of the situation.

All was fair in war.

Anyway, Ba Helei hadn’t specified how they would fight or if he could bring reinforcements.

Ye Liuyun’s consideration was how to capture the two cities.

Once he took all three cities, the foreign race’s defense line should collapse completely.

After making all the arrangements, Ye Liuyun contacted Emperor Xia, requesting him to agree to assist in breaking the foreign race’s defense line in one go.

Once everything was in order, Ye Liuyun retreated to the Xuankong Stone to continue his cultivation.

The foreign race did keep the promise. They didn’t attack for ten days.

Tuo Muhai got wind of the situation and was furious, but he dared not openly blame Ba Helei. He could only vent his anger on those around him.

After calming down, he realized that Ye Liuyun was planning to take advantage of the situation to capture the cities.

So, he arranged three separate forces. One was prepared to attack the city where Ye Liuyun was located. The other two were ready to snatch back the two cities once Ba Helei was defeated.

On their end, as soon as they made a troop movement, the Great Hsia Dynasty would detect the activity and make corresponding deployments.

The sudden halt in the battle for the two princes and the two commanders was unexpected. Ten days was a long time, and they found themselves growing restless.

They sought out Ye Liuyun, inquiring about his plans. However, Ye Liuyun remained tight-lipped, only saying they should follow his orders when the time came.

During these ten days, Ye Liuyun took the opportunity to elevate his realm to the Life and Death Realm Second Stage within the Xuankong Stone. He consolidated his strength with his clone and replaced the energy in his storage stones.

During this period, everyone around him saw improvements in their realms, and they were all prepared for battle.

Until the final day, as the agreed-upon time approached, Ye Liuyun gathered the two princes and the two commanders.

"What you need to do is continue defending. But it won’t be this city you’re defending. It will be the other two we’re about to win," Ye Liuyun explained to them.

"But what about this city?"

"If we split our forces, we’ll be weaker!"

Hearing that they were going to take control of foreign race cities, the two commanders immediately grew concerned.

They were both worried about an immediate counterattack from the foreign race and feared they wouldn’t be able to defend the cities solely with their own strength.

Ye Liuyun first reassured them, "The Great Hsia Dynasty’s army will coordinate with us to intercept the foreign race’s counterattacking army. Additionally, I have my own army, as well as the Devil Clan’s forces, all ready to strike when the time comes."

"So your task of defending the cities should be relatively easy. It’s unlikely that the foreign race will be able to counterattack and breach the defenses."

Hearing this, the two commanders immediately felt relieved and readily agreed.

Seeing their agreement, Ye Liuyun shifted his tone to a more threatening one: "However, these two cities are crucial for the Great Hsia Dynasty! If we capture these two cities, the Great Hsia Dynasty will expand its territory once again."

"In the unlikely event... and I stress, in the unlikely event that the foreign race attacks, you must defend the cities with your lives! Otherwise, the Dynasty will hold you accountable for the consequences!"

In reality, Ye Liuyun was manipulating them. Once they were there, they would have no choice but to defend the cities, even if they didn’t want to.
