Ye Liuyun and his clone had been observing the night before without infiltrating their tribe. Using his Divine Sense and Golden Phantom Eyes, they discovered that the Beast Clan’s homes were brightly lit, indicating the gathering of a group. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Moreover, the group was large, which led them to speculate that they were about to launch an attack.

However, Ye Liuyun noticed that their clan leader, the Tiger Beastman, did not join the ambush team.

Wanting to infiltrate their city but worried that the Beast Clan would sniff him out, he had to resort to this tactic. That is to defeat them first, then sneak into the group of their overthrown soldiers.

As more than a thousand defeated soldiers flooded into their camp, their stench of blood mixing with the air, no one could pick up Ye Liuyun and his clone’s scent.

The Tiger Beastman, the leader of the tribe, quickly emerged to see how things were going.

He did not expect the crushing defeat of his five thousand-strong army when it went to attack a fortress defended by just three hundred people.

As one of the advanced fifth tier, he exerted his imposing aura, shivering his defeated soldiers in fear.

"What happened?"

The main leader of the team had perished in battle, so all he could do was inquire about the situation from some minor leaders.

However, he had to piece together the information from these minor commanders posted in varied positions. It took him a long time to piece together a general understanding of what happened on the battlefield.

"Flute sounds, large puppets, Devil Beasts, soldiers dropping from the sky? It seems our opponents are not simple! They even released all of you back. What do they plan to do?"

The Tiger Beastman frowned deeply as he murmured to himself.

"I know!" Ye Liuyun, in his werewolf disguise, stepped forward.

"Oh? Let’s hear what you have to say!" The Tiger Beastman did not doubt his identity.

"They aim to break our spirit. To show us that if we surrender, we won’t be killed. The next time we fight, there will be more people encouraged to surrender," said Ye Liuyun.

"Do you have any strategy to defeat them?" The Tiger Beastman asked.

"Yes!" Ye Liuyun affirmed decisively.

"Roar!" The Tiger Beastman roared at Ye Liuyun, showing an imposing aura of his genuine energy.

Ye Liuyun pretended to be timid right away, bowing himself low to the ground.

"An ordinary soldier dares to boast so wildly?" the Tiger Beastman scoffed.

He was just merely trying to intimidate Ye Liuyun, who was in a werewolf disguise, to maintain his dignity. If Ye Liuyun dared to resist, it would show that he was acting arrogant due to his cleverness.

Then, a minor leader who was under Ye Liuyun’s control spoke up. "Chief, this man is always full of ideas and often gives me good suggestions. He could be useful!"

"Oh?" The Tiger Beastman glanced at Ye Liuyun and was satisfied with his submissive attitude. Hence, his countenance appeared to be relaxed.

"You two, follow me. The rest of you return and rest. The rest of the tribe should prepare for a battle."

The Tiger Beastman commanded and then led the minor chief and Ye Liuyun back to his extensive tent.

"Speak! If you dare to deceive me, I’ll tear you to pieces!" the Clan leader threatened menacingly.

"I wouldn’t dare!" Ye Liuyun replied before he began to detail his ideas.

"To counter that flute sound, we can let our tribesmen stuff their ears with cotton, then make a few large war drums, have someone who can’t follow a tune play at them randomly to disrupt the flute sound."

"As for the large puppet, I believe the weakness lies in its feet. We can have our men create iron chains, and trip the puppet to the ground. Once it is down, it won’t be able to hold off our stampede attack..."

Before Ye Liuyun could finish speaking, the Tiger Beastman praised, "Hmm! These ideas are truly excellent! Hurry and prepare for the war drums and iron chains!"

He commanded the two guards beside him to prepare, then urged Ye Liuyun to continue speaking.

At this point, he was without any guards at his side, giving Ye Liuyun the perfect opportunity to act.

"Dealing with Devil Beasts is simple, we could do like this..."

As Ye Liuyun spoke, he launched a Divine Soul attack with his clone, driving four Divine souls to attack the Clan leader’s Ocean of Consciousness.

The leader, who waited curiously to watch Ye Liuyun’s demonstration, had no time to react. He was instantly branded by Ye Liuyun’s Slaving Seal.

Afterwards, Ye Liuyun proceeded to search his soul to gather information regarding the demi-beast’s background. When he was done, he withdrew his soul.

The Tiger Beastman was extremely unwilling to yield and wanted to resist. Yet, Ye Liuyun controlled him with the Slaving Seal and made him kneel.

"Do you want the demi-beast clan to be annihilated?" Ye Liuyun coldly asked.

"I can control you to issue commands, instructing the demi-beast to strike in waves, assaulting the Tiger’s Fort. After several waves, your clan would be wiped out!"

"Or should I poison this camp, killing off your entire tribe?"

As Ye Liuyun spoke, a strand of poison emerged from his hand and entered a minor leader nearby, transforming him instantly into a puddle of poison.

Next, Ye Liuyun extracted the poison and flaunted it before the Tiger Beastman.

Ye Liuyun threatened him and then his tribe, to force him to submit.

"I am not killing you, but that does not mean I can’t! I’ll keep you alive, for now, because I do not wish to change the status quo. You will come to know my true power eventually !"

"After some time, I will arrange for ten thousand soldiers to be stationed here. Then Demi beasts will take the lead to unify the factions of the Border battlefield," said Ye Liuyun.

"Master, the major powers in the Border Battlefield simply cannot be unified!" Tiger Beastman replied.

"I am aware," Ye Liuyun said, nodding. "The current conflict between the major powers is deeply rooted, making unity a challenging task. But there are always ways around it. To begin, make a list of all the enemies that can be defeated and those major powers that hold the least power. We will begin by bringing those together."

"Alright!" Hearing Ye Liuyun’s command, the Tiger Beastman was at ease.

He only planned to make a move on the less powerful for now. Or his clan’s destruction would be inevitable.

After commanding the Tiger Beastman, Ye Liuyun left the Demi-Beast tribe with his clone with the several minor leaders he had subdued.

The Tiger Beastman told the rest of his tribe that they were going out to scout for information.

Subsequently, a large crowd gathered, but they weren’t meant to attack Ye Liuyun. Instead, they were split into several teams by the Tiger Beastman and dispatched to attack different groups of lesser powers.

What baffled the Demi-beasts was that their intended targets had been completely wiped out before they even arrived.

The lairs they were meant to assault appeared as though they had been struck by earthquakes. With fragments of crumbling walls dispersed all over the place. There were indications of blood but no apparent bodies were found while their resources were plundered.

Only the Tiger Beastman knew that Ye Liuyun was responsible for it. This realization only made him more in awe of Ye Liuyun’s power.

In reality, Ye Liuyun had merely instructed his clone to ride the eighth-level flying Vessel, taking along the Devil Vine and sweeping those powers before they could make a move.

And the Demi-Beasts ended up as his scapegoat.

However, these powers weren’t significant. Since Demi-Beast were known for their reasonableness, no major power bothered to do anything for them.

Thus, through the Demi-Beast, Ye Liuyun started to unify some fragmented smaller powers in the region.
