During Ye Liuyun's continuous advance, the Zhongxing Dynasty did not send any troops to intercept him.
It's not that Mo Xiaotian doesn't want to send troops, it's that he has no troops to send now.
In addition to the 50,000 imperial troops left, he now has some martial arts cultivators from the royal family.
If all these people are sent out, he will not even be able to defend the palace.
He could send some more Imperial Guards, but if the number was small it would be useless, and if there were more he wouldn't be able to get them.
After the commander of the defeated army returned to the royal city with his soldiers, many soldiers directly became deserters.
The commander also let it go and was killed by Mo Xiaotian out of anger.
As a result, of the 100,000-strong army, only more than 10,000 people were left in the end, which could not be called an effective combat force at all.
Mo Xiaotian immediately started recruiting troops throughout the country.
However, after following the example of Ye Liuyun, the powerful forces began to fight against the local city lord's palace and refused to recruit troops.
Some weaker forces also united to resist conscription.
Gradually some separatist overlords formed.
No matter how weak the force is, some may even run away with their entire clan's martial arts and resources to defect to Ye Liuyun.
The entire central region heard that Ye Liuyun did not force conscription.
Therefore, although the city captured by Ye Liuyun had just been baptized by the flames of war, it immediately returned to prosperity.
Moreover, Ye Liuyun and his subordinates have sufficient management experience, allowing both local and defected martial arts cultivators to develop freely.
Just keep the resources in your own hands.
On the other hand, the ZTE dynasty is getting worse and worse.
There were constant voices of resistance from various places, and even some of the city lord's mansions had been robbed and overthrown.
Everyone can see that the Zhongxing Dynasty now has no troops to send.
However, after some emerging forces have grown stronger, there are also fights between them.
This resulted in constant wars in various parts of the central region.
A large number of resources that were originally occupied by the ZTE Dynasty have now been snatched and divided by many forces.
Although the Zhongxing Dynasty would still send some strong men and forbidden troops to suppress the rebellion, many of these forces dispersed as soon as they were beaten, and then reunited after they left.
At this time, Ye Liuyun stopped moving forward and waited for the ZTE dynasty to decline.
He just asked Liu Yang and Mo Shaowen, each with 20,000 surrender troops and some black-armored soul cultivators, to attack the city in the north and south directions, seize resources, and capture strong martial cultivators.
In particular, we must eliminate those rebel forces that take the opportunity to harm the people.
In this way, Ye Liuyun became the maintainer of order in the central region.
Therefore, Ye Liuyun's reputation is getting more and more popular.
The voices for him to replace the ZTE Dynasty are getting louder and louder.
Mo Xiaotian was also surrounded on all sides at the moment.
He wanted to call back half of the 100,000 troops guarding Duhun Mountain, but was directly rejected by the army commander Yuan Hao.
"With fifty thousand people left, we simply can't defend Duhun Mountain.
Either we all stay and garrison, or we all return!"
Yuan Hao also showed his contempt for the authority of the dynasty.
But Mo Xiaotian didn't dare to send anyone to attack him.
Yuan Hao's 100,000-strong army was inherited from his father by his son.
This 100,000-strong army has become the Yuan family's private army.
If he dares to take action against Yuan Hao, then this 100,000-strong army may fall apart again.
He will really have no troops left by then.
The newly rising forces from various places will rush to the royal city together.
The reason why these people dare not attack the royal city now is because they know that he has a hundred thousand troops and fifty thousand forbidden troops.
It was only now that Mo Xiaotian began to really take Ye Liuyun seriously as his opponent.
Just by Ye Liuyun's ability to stop the advance and divide the troops to put down the rebellion, it can be seen that Ye Liuyun is not simple.
Ye Liuyun's strength far exceeded his imagination.
He finally admitted that Ye Liuyun might indeed be the spirit clan that was destroyed by his strength.
If this is the case, then Ye Liuyun's strength can at least compete with him now.
Especially Ye Liuyun's army is not only large in number, but also powerful in combat effectiveness.
If he wanted to defeat Ye Liuyun, he could only use martial arts to sneak attack and assassinate the commander.
Mo Xiaotian still doesn't know that the Ye Liuyun in the Dongyun Dynasty's palace is Wu Qingcheng's fake one.
He just thought that Ye Liuyun was better at employing people and had found a good leader.
Especially when he learned that Song An was the one making the plans and that he had been deceived by Ye Liuyun, he became even more furious and insisted on killing Song An.
Everything was going smoothly on Ye Liuyun's side. Knowing that the Zhongxing Dynasty had no troops to send, he paid more attention to guarding against sneak attacks and assassinations by martial cultivators.
He asked Wu Kunlai to deploy a two-layer formation in Qiming City, but the defensive effect was not very strong.
If several martial arts cultivators at the ninth level attack at the same time, the defensive effect of the formation will be very poor.
But Wu Kun had tried his best, and he couldn't blame him. He had to express his gratitude to Wu Kun.
On this day, Ye Liuyun was practicing in the Xuan Kong Stone, while his clone was outside worrying about not being able to find the formation master.
A black-armored guard came in to report that a slovenly old man with a surname of Huo had come outside the city lord's palace. He said he was a friend of Ye Liuyun, and he was bringing two young men with him.
"Haha! Just when I was missing him, he came!"
When Ye Liuyun contacted the previous fire in the eastern military camp, he immediately thought it was Qiongqi and immediately ran out to greet him personally.
Ye Liuyun changed his face, but Qiongqi immediately let go of his spiritual shield and recognized him.
He and Ye Liuyun had a soul contract before.
It's just that his soul is powerful. If he didn't take the initiative to release the shield, Ye Liuyun wouldn't be able to sense him, otherwise he would have found him long ago.
"You are a smart kid, you still know how to pick me up!"
Qiongqi nodded with satisfaction.
"Haha, I was just missing you, and you came!"
It was inconvenient for the clone to reveal his identity in front of outsiders, so he sent a message to Qiongqi.
Qiongqi understood immediately, but still said deliberately: "I am the palace master of the Fire Palace now, why don't you invite me in quickly and entertain me with delicious food and drinks?"
"Haha, please, Palace Master, the barbecue will be here soon!"
The clone also made an inviting gesture, asking Qiongqi to come in and chat.
"That's pretty much it! Don't tell me, I really miss your kid's barbecue!"
Qiongqi is still the same as before, he likes to show off.
He nodded pretendingly and walked into the city lord's mansion with a swagger.
"These two are my new apprentices, one is called Huo Lei and the other is Moren. Please take care of them more in the future!"
Qiongqi explained to Ye Liuyun.
"Can you still bring an apprentice?"
The clone immediately scanned their situation with golden eyes.
Qiongqi is now at the middle stage of the ninth level, Huo Lei is at the early stage of the eighth level and is also a Qiongqi monster beast incarnation, and Mo Ren is a human martial artist at the late stage of the seventh level.
"You dare to look down on me! Why can't I drink and lead my apprentice?
I am now the Lord of the First Palace!"
Qiongqi said disdainfully.
"Huo Lei is that little Qiongqi?"
The clone sent a message to Qiongqi and asked.
Qiongqi was also a little surprised: "You are a promising kid, but you can tell that he is a monster?"
"Hehe, without your potential, you are already at the middle level of the ninth level!"
The clone laughed.
Chapter completed!
