Chapter 1639: Chapter 1639 In War Nothing Was Too Deceitful

After that, Ye Liuyun’s fleet was divided into two squads and continued to advance. Moreover, the fleet’s cruising speed suddenly slowed down.

Yet, in the direction these two squadrons were heading, there were no sects.

Everyone was perplexed, wondering if Ye Liuyun was finally satisfied with his victories and wanted to retreat, or if he was still up to some trick.

Ye Liuyun couldn’t help but grin at Qin Peng’s fancy tactics.

"You really leave no room for others to survive!"

Qin Peng also responded with a smile, "War shouldn’t be without deception! Doesn’t the sects that offended us know this? If they don’t defend in advance, they can’t blame us!"

Ye Liuyun laughed and didn’t interfere any further. Anyway, they wouldn’t suffer no matter how they fought now.

The fleet cruised for a few more days and suddenly changed the course. The left squadron marched straight towards Yicity in the Devil Region.

Meanwhile, the right squadron launched an attack on a passing sect.

The sect wasn’t large. Even with only half of their battleships, it didn’t take much time for them to break the opponent’s mountain-protecting formation. Instead, they beat the opponent into a panic.

Moreover, Ye Liuyun and the Devil Lord’s disciples were all on the right side of the battleship, and their main combat power had not been reduced.

This time, the battle ended even quicker, not even taking half a day.

Ye Liuyun didn’t even bother to collect the sect’s treasury. He simply let his disciples go in and grab whatever they wanted and divided the sect’s treasury among them on the spot.

Afterwards, the right squadron continued to sail, heading straight towards Yicity in the Devil Region.

This time, not only the sects in the direction of the battleship were nervous, but also the sects that the battleship was passing by began to be on tenterhooks.

As people from the Central Continent marvelled, they all also wondered if Ye Liuyun was about to return to Yicity.

"Five sects already! Will it end here?" The fourth prince was paying attention to Ye Liuyun’s information every day.

"I can’t quite guess. Right now, it should be Qin Peng directing the battleship, and Ye Liuyun probably doesn’t want to deal with it. So even if they were to annihilate any more sects, it would not be a major one, and Qin Peng can definitely handle it alone!" The fourth prince speculated.

Ye Liuyun’s two fleets, one behind the other, headed towards Yicity in the Devil Region.

As they were on the way, the trailing fleet suddenly began to accelerate, and it seemed that they were going to join the fleet in front.

But just before the two fleets could meet up, the front fleet suddenly changed course and carried out a surprise attack on a sect that they happened to come across.

The sect was caught so off guard that their defensive formation was breached before they could even activate it.

Subsequently, the trailing fleet also rushed over, and the martial practitioners launched an attack.

The timing was perfect as both fleets worked in unison to wipe out the sect completely.

In the sect’s treasure vault, Ye Liuyun let Qin Peng take half of the resources to reward the meritorious martial practitioners. The remaining half was directly distributed among the disciples of the Devil Lord Sect.

As they travelled, multiple Devil Lord Sect disciples constantly broke through their cultivation levels, subsequently boosting the overall strength of the Devil Lord Sect.

The current Devil Lord Sect could be called the number one sect in the Central Continent.

Not only did they have disciples with good skill levels, they were great in numbers and resources. Even the secret realms where the disciples practiced cultivation were diverse.

In terms of scale, they had even surpassed the Hidden Dragon Academy.

However, they lacked in the number of elders. After all, their foundation was not as deeply rooted and needed continuous accumulation.

The move by Ye Liuyun’s fleet shocked the entire Central Continent once again.

Many sects approached the Hidden Dragon Academy and asked them to communicate with Ye Liuyun.

"If this goes on, the whole Central Continent will only have the Devil Lord Sect left!" Many sect heads started to complain to the dean of the Hidden Dragon Academy.

"If you haven’t offended him, why are you worrying unnecessarily? If you’re not happy, just talk to Ye Liuyun directly!" The dean of the Hidden Dragon Academy dismissed them with a single sentence.

And those sects that had offended Ye Liuyun were busy sending representatives to the Devil Lord Sect to offer compensation and apologies.

Ye Liuyun also instructed the Devil Lord Sect to accept all these offerings. Only when they accept these resources, would the other party feel at ease.

Moreover, whenever they received gifts from the other sects, Ye Liuyun also ordered the Devil Lord Sect to give a clear response that they would not attack them.

In this way, even the sects that had not offended Ye Liuyun also sent representatives to make amends and brought along some gifts with them.

Ye Liuyun was not one to reject mercies. He would accept cooperation when offered and form alliances when needed.

In a short time, the Devil Lord Sect became a bustling hub, with a constant stream of visitors and the deputy sect master was busy every day entertaining different sect representatives.

Meanwhile, Ye Liuyun’s fleet didn’t split again, nor did it launch any further attacks. They were just slowly sailing back to Yicity.

"Didn’t we finish our battle? Why are we moving so slowly?" Some of the disciples wondered why their return speed was so slow.

The elders also went to inquire Ye Liuyun.

After this expedition, they had collected a great amount of resources and were eager to return to cultivate because the cultivation environment was limited on the battleship.

"Why rush! If we return too quickly, other sects will think we’ve completely ended the battle. Their enthusiasm for sending resources to the Devil Lord Sect would then decrease."

"I’m just trying to secure resources for you all. A few days won’t make a difference, so please wait a bit more!" With these few words, Ye Liuyun dispelled the elders’ concerns.

Their fleet moved at a leisurely pace and even stopped a few times just to get more resources.

A few days later, news arrived from the sect’s side that most of the resources had been collected and progress had been made on alliances and collaborations.

Xia Tianqiong and Xia Lingshuang had not received any information about the sect planning a counter-attack, so Ye Liuyun ordered the battleships to speed up and return to Yicity.

This time, Ye Liuyun annihilated all his pre-set targets without leaving a single one behind.

Despite some people in the Central Continent complaining about Ye Liuyun’s ruthlessness, none dared to openly criticize him.

All the great sects also hurried to show favor and no longer dared to discriminate against the devil cultivators.

Although the perceptions of some sect elders might not change overnight, they would gradually accept devil cultivators after some time.

Ye Liuyun knew they wouldn’t change their views instantly, but as long as they didn’t dare to harm the devil cultivators in the short term, that was enough.

What remained was for him to restrain the sect’s disciples from causing trouble. freewebnovel.cσ๓

So, when Ye Liuyun returned to the sect, he immediately started drafting rules for the disciples and made these rules public for everyone to supervise.

If a disciple violated the rules and was found out by outsiders, they could be killed directly with their head presented to the Devil Lord Sect for a reward.

However, if a disciple was killed unjustly without violating the rules, the Devil Lord Sect would take revenge for the disciple.
