Chapter 1307: Chapter 1307 Waiting For The Final Battle
Emperor Xia felt that perhaps the Grand Emperor had changed during his long seclusion.
In the past, he had been meticulous and thoughtful in his actions, never this impulsive or inconsiderate. He wouldn’t have coveted others’ cultivation resources either.
Although he was deeply dissatisfied with Ye Liuyun’s actions, now that Ye Liuyun had the power to vent his anger, there was nothing he could do.
The mess caused by the Grand Emperor had to be shouldered by him.
No matter how he looked at it, the royal family couldn’t afford to antagonize Ye Liuyun now.
So, Emperor Xia would absolutely not allow the Grand Emperor to deal with Ye Liuyun.
On Ye Liuyun’s side, after dealing with the Xiao family, he didn’t linger and immediately led his troops away, returning to Yicity with Qin Peng.
Subsequently, the Conveyor Formations across various regions were reopened, and everything returned to normal.
It wasn’t until this moment that the news spread.
"It turns out Ye Liuyun didn’t go to attack the royal family in the Imperial City, but to wipe out the Xiao family."
"It’s said that Xiao Yuhong secretly mobilized troops to deal with Ye Liuyun, which led to Ye Liuyun’s retaliation! He deserved it!"
"Ye Liuyun is getting stronger. He dares to confront the royal family."
Some uninformed people speculated all sorts of things.
The major powers naturally could investigate the truth.
They neither praised nor criticized the royal family’s and Ye Liuyun’s actions, treating it as a minor incident.
Afterward, both the royal family and Ye Liuyun continued doing what they were supposed to as if the incident never happened. freewebnoveℓ.com
After spending two days in Yicity, Ye Liuyun returned to the battlefield. The royal family didn’t make any moves either.
However, everyone knew that both sides had definitely developed a rift.
Emperor Xia understood the true story behind the incident the best. He simply regarded Ye Liuyun’s actions as venting frustration, without much complaint.
Instead, he sent some supplies to Ye Liuyun’s army, as a sweetener to prevent Ye Liuyun from dwelling on the matter.
The commotion had subsided, and their anger had dissipated. There was nothing more they could do.
Xia Tianqiong conducted a thorough investigation, and some subtle clues pointed to the Grand Emperor.
She then informed Ye Liuyun and Zhuge Feiyu of her findings.
However, none of them could come up with a reason. They even suspected that someone deliberately directed the clues toward the Grand Emperor.
"Forget it, let’s not waste our energy searching further," Ye Liuyun finally requested to abandon the investigation.
Even if they found something, they couldn’t touch the Grand Emperor if Emperor Xia genuinely intended to protect him.
He believed that after this incident, Emperor Xia would keep an eye on that person.
After returning to the battlefield with Qin Peng, the commanders who hadn’t supported him initially came over to explain themselves to Ye Liuyun.
Now they knew Ye Liuyun was ruthless enough to besiege the Imperial City with his troops. Who knew if he might retaliate against them on the battlefield?
At that time, it would not be a little loss, but the risk of complete annihilation.
Ye Liuyun understood what they were thinking. He could differentiate between friend and foe.
At least until the foreign races were exterminated, Ye Liuyun wouldn’t intentionally harm them.
With Ye Liuyun’s assurance, these commanders finally relaxed.
However, they were aware that Ye Liuyun’s promise was limited to battles against foreign races.
Anyone who provoked Ye Liuyun in the future would pay the price.
They weren’t concerned about Ye Liuyun staying on the battlefield, possibly attracting the Burial God. After all, if the Burial God got angry, it would only target the foreign races, benefiting them and causing no harm.
In fact, they hoped the Burial God would come, giving them the opportunity to wipe out more foreign race armies.
After the Burial God’s last visit, the foreign race armies retreated once again, giving them a significant advantage.
Ye Liuyun and Qin Peng’s garrisoned city also moved forward, making it easier for supplies to reach the various armies preparing for the final counterattack.
Now, all the armies were getting ready for the ultimate offensive.
Ye Liuyun wanted to see what trump cards Emperor Xia would use against the foreign races.
During this time, he focused on his cultivation.
In less than two months, Ye Liuyun’s realm had once again advanced, breaking through to the fifth level of Sacred Terra.
This breakthrough was smoother than before.
Although it required a significant amount of energy, the speed was much easier than breaking through the initial level of Sacred Terra.
He estimated that breaking through to the sixth level of Sacred Terra wouldn’t be too difficult. However, moving from the sixth level of Sacred Terra to the seventh level might slow down his progress.
In the realm of Life and Death, each level breakthrough represented a significant increase in power.
After his breakthrough, Ye Liuyun felt a surge in his strength.
Now, with a single palm strike, he possessed the power to move mountains and part rivers. He was no different from the mighty experts he used to envy when he first began cultivating.
However, he didn’t feel satisfied. In fact, he felt that his current strength was insufficient.
"The stronger one’s power, the higher one’s perspective becomes. I suppose that’s why everyone is constantly striving to improve," Ye Liuyun said to Liang Xue during a casual conversation.
"Yeah, think about how low our realms were back when we first met and went on adventures together," Liang Xue reminisced about their early expeditions.
Liang Xue had now reached the eighth level of the Fate Realm. It wouldn’t be long before she advanced to the Sacred Terra Realm.
"You’ve been progressing quite quickly lately!" Ye Liuyun praised her.
"Of course, I have an affinity for spiritual energy! My cultivation will only get faster in the future!" Liang Xue said proudly.
Ye Liuyun also smiled.
The faster his companions improved, the more confident he felt about their future journey to the God Realm.
However, he didn’t voice these thoughts, not wanting to affect the mood of those around him.
Only Fyeng Wanru truly understood Ye Liuyun. That’s why she worked so hard to increase her strength, hoping to keep up with Ye Liuyun’s pace.
Fyeng Wanru had now reached the first level of Sacred Terra.
She and Ye Tiandao spent their days either cultivating or engaging in battles.
Even Ye Tiandao’s realm had advanced to the ninth level of the Fate Realm.
The two of them hadn’t been able to enjoy the benefits of the Xuankong Stone recently, but their progress remained swift. Their dedication to cultivation never wavered.
When Ye Liuyun returned, he immediately allowed them access to the Xuankong Stone for faster progress.
Soon enough, the Dragon Lady’s realm broke through to the first level of Sacred Terra, and Lei Ming quickly followed, reaching the fifth level of Sacred Terra.
Ye Liuyun was pleased to see their dedication. When Lei Ming achieved his breakthrough, Ye Liuyun treated them to a barbecue meal, allowing them to relax.
Emperor Xia had been keeping a close eye on the Grand Emperor during this time, guarding against any attempts to provoke Ye Liuyun.
Consequently, everything remained peaceful on Ye Liuyun’s end.
