Inside the city, battles raged on fiercely.
The devil cultivators were the exception. At the sight of the imperial soldiers, they imdiately surrendered.
From a distance, Ye Liuyun observed soldiers escorting groups of devil cultivators out of the city.
"Inform the Fourth Prince and the others. No prisoners!" Ye Liuyun said calmly to Qin Peng.
Qin Peng swiftly took out a Sound Transmission Talisman and conveyed the ssage to the Fourth Prince.
Soon after, Ye Liuyun and his forces witnessed the captives being executed on the spot.
The virtuosos among these devil cultivators had already been tainted with the aura of the foreign race's Evil Creatures. If even one foreign race mber survived, they would once again be subservient to them.
Keeping them alive would require a considerable amount of manpower for supervision.
Finally, these forr arrogant traitors paid the price for their betrayal.
The Fourth Prince understood Ye Liuyun's intent and issued orders to all the troops: "Eliminate all enemies inside the city, accept no surrenders, spare no prisoners!"
The city was now covered in a layer of blood. Every soldier fought amidst the blood, stepping on it with every move. Those who fell and rose again looked like figures made of blood.
The Skeleton Golem continued to swing the Hundred Refinents Soul Flag, absorbing Yin-souls from Sacred Majesty and Sacred Terra level experts.
The army of Yin-souls inside the flag was unparalleled in strength but slightly diminished in numbers, comprising less than a hundred thousand.
The stronger the Yin-soul, the more space it required, akin to martial practitioners.
Ye Liuyun remained calm, observing the battle's developnt attentively, paying close attention to Tuo Muhai's movents.
Tuo Muhai had been forced to retreat to the city center and was consolidating his forces.
Ye Liuyun knew he was preparing for a full-scale counterattack. Qin Peng also noticed and asked if he should alert the Fourth Prince and others.
Ye Liuyun shook his head, opting not to warn the Fourth Prince and his n. He believed it wouldn't significantly affect the outco
He saw this as an opportunity for the empire's leaders to adapt. Ye Liuyun wanted to see if they could make adjustnts on their own.
The Fourth Prince and the other commanders did notice and made preparations in advance. The Crown Prince ordered the warships to advance and disrupted the foreign race's gathering montum with an initial bombardnt.
"The two Princes have improved quite a bit!" Ye Liuyun praised.
"Yes, it seems we don't have much to worry about!" Qin Peng sighed in relief.
"It's even better this way! Accomplish the mission and withdraw; that's the wise choice!" Ye Liuyun chuckled.
Qin Peng nodded in agreent.
They watched quietly while Tuo Mu Hai fought desperately alongside his forces against the empire's army.
He would kill a group of imperial soldiers, only for another batch to charge at him.
Despite his high cultivation level and formidable strength, he couldn't withstand the continuous attacks from nurous soldiers, sustaining nurous injuries.
Moreover, seeing his comrades fall one by one added imnse psychological pressure on him.
The two commanders from both armies had completely different mindsets at this mont.
One had detached himself from the situation while the other fought desperately, grasping for his last shred of dignity in the face of despair.
"Tuo Muhai is dead at!"
Ye Liuyun said to Qin Peng.
He could see that Tuo Muhai was determined to fight to the death.
Moreover, Tuo Muhai had exhausted his genuine energy. Even if he wanted to escape, he couldn't anymore.
"Let's go!"
Ye Liuyun called out to Qin Peng, instructing him to lead the troops in retreat.
"He's leaving?" Tuo Muhai hoped deep down that Ye Liuyun would make a move against him.
If he could die by Ye Liuyun's hands, he would be completely convinced of his opponent's strength.
However, Ye Liuyun didn't spare him a glance, not even in his dying mont.
The mont Ye Liuyun turned to leave, Tuomu Hai's mindset finally collapsed.
He had regarded Ye Liuyun as a worthy opponent, but this adversary had dismissed him outright.
The humiliation he felt was greater than the defeat itself.
In his montary distraction, a soldier wielding a long spear charged at him and impaled him straight through.
Then ca the second, the third…
The last soldier swiftly decapitated Tuo Muhai.
Tuo Muhai t his end in the grip of despair and humiliation.
Though it couldn't compensate for the damage the foreign race had inflicted upon human martial practitioners, at least Ye Liuyun had avenged them in a way the foreign race considered shaful.
As he left, a smile crept onto Ye Liuyun's lips.
The remaining task was for the empire's forces to eliminate the rest of the foreign race, one by one.
After more than twenty years of war against the foreign race, they could finally put an end to it.
After the war ended, the soldiers looked at the layer of blood on the ground, feeling a sense of relief.
They wiped out the alien race, but they also paid a huge price.
The celebrations could wait; they would save the festivities for their triumphant return to the capital in the future.
For now, all they wanted was a good night's sleep, treating everything before them as a dream. They hoped that when they woke up, it would all be forgotten.
After the Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince set fire to all the bodies within the city, news of the extermination of the foreign race spread throughout the Central Continent.
Many people cheered and celebrated, especially those who had migrated from the southern regions.
The families of the soldiers anxiously waited, not knowing if their loved ones would return unscathed, disabled, or compensated with the royal family's spiritual stones.
After Ye Liuyun and Qin Peng left, Qin Peng led the troops back to the Devil Region, Yicity.
"You should bring the ten thousand guards and ten thousand devil cultivators back as well," Ye Liuyun instructed Qin Peng.
"What about you, my lord?" Qin Peng asked, concerned.
"I'll stay and wait for the Burial God," Ye Liuyun said. While he had resolved the empire's issues, his personal matters remained unsettled.
He hadn't brought the demons he had fought alongside with him. Instead, he had sent them back to protect Wu Qingcheng and the others.
"Take care of yourself. We'll wait for your return!" Fyeng Wanru said in her usual caring manner before leaving with Qin Peng.
Ye Tiandao, on the other hand, volunteered to stay with Ye Liuyun.
She had grown significantly stronger and was now capable of expressing her thoughts.
"With the battle over, I want to stay with my master!" She said simply.
"Well, since you're not afraid of death, you can stay and train with !" Ye Liuyun agreed, ultimately deciding to keep Ye Tiandao by his side.
After bidding farewell to Qin Peng, Ye Liuyun wandered alone in the southern region.
Occasionally, he would run into a few Corpse Demons that escaped, and he would imdiately deal with them.
The Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince couldn't contact Ye Liuyun after their victorious battle. They decided to disperse their forces and conduct a widespread search for any remaining scattered Corpse Demons.
He tried to help them get rid of the Corpse Demon before the refugees from the south ca back.
During his travels, he encountered search parties dispatched by the royal family, but with his Concealcape, he managed to evade them skillfully, never crossing paths.
Ye Liuyun held great admiration for the actions of the two princes.
