What the major powers of the Liulin Dynasty didn’t know was that if it weren’t for Ye Liuyun, Liu Yunyao might have handled issues the same way Liu Qianzhong did, trying to coordinate relationships among various factions.

If that were the case, she might ultimately have been forced to compromise with the different parties. If she refused to compromise, she would likely have had to abandon the throne and flee.

Ye Liuyun didn’t simply want her to rely on force. What he demanded was absolute obedience from the officials, but as for matters that were their responsibility, Ye Liuyun would not interfere.

Given Ye Liuyun’s temperament, he had no interest in meddling in those affairs. Thus, at his suggestion, rather than restricting the officials’ power, their authority became more relaxed than before.

The ultimate result was that Liu Yunyao established her authority without having to manage trivial matters. Meanwhile, the officials gained more power and benefits but also faced increased responsibilities.

After Ye Liuyun’s adjustments, the management system of the entire dynasty finally became well-organized.

However, Liu Yunyao felt reluctant to continue being the queen. Since taking the throne, she hadn’t had a single day of peace. She was constantly worried and exhausted, far from the glamorous image outsiders imagined.

Moreover, her own experience was indeed limited; without Ye Liuyun’s help, she couldn’t handle those officials. She previously led some factions, but they were openly supportive of her.

Ye Liuyun laughed and comforted her, saying, "Haha, did you think being on the throne was easy? You’re getting the hang of it now. As you gain more experience, it will get easier! 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

In the future, not many factions will dare to oppose your ideas. Just avoid stirring things up too much or offending too many interests, and you can always ask me for advice—I’m here to help.”

"Alright then! I’ll continue being queen for a while!" Liu Yunyao agreed, tiredly leaning into Ye Liuyun’s embrace for comfort. Only with Ye Liuyun could she show her gentle side. Outside, she had to put on the facade of a strong woman.

Ye Liuyun was preparing to leave. After discussing it with Liu Yunyao, he decided to leave Xuanwu to secretly protect her and provided enough resources for Xuanwu’s cultivation. Coupled with the feral beast of the Sovereign Realm that he had prepared for her, it should be enough to guard Liu Yunyao.

Just as Ye Liuyun hadn’t decided which direction to head next, he suddenly received a request for aid from Ye Tiandao.

He then immediately used the teleportation black tower to head over to Ye Tiandao. Meanwhile, Yu Xiaofeng and Qin Peng were sent back to the main army.

After Ye Liuyun and his group left, Ye Tiandao initially managed to advance slowly. However, they eventually encountered powerful opponents who brought numerous martial cultivators to confront them.

Despite the formidable combat skills and coordinated efforts of the Sharp Blade Group, they recently lost over five hundred members. Along the way, a large army of one hundred thousand also lost half its forces in a single battle.

Moreover, their slowed advance led to a decreased rate of resource acquisition. Without the strategic command of Yu Xiaofeng and Qin Peng, the coordination among various divisions was not as smooth as before. Xiao Yunfang’s ability to lead such large forces was still not on par with Yu Xiaofeng.

Initially, the leaders, including Ye Tiandao, Xiao Yunfang, and Meng Qingyin, were worried about delaying Ye Liuyun’s tasks. However, seeing the apparent signs of adversity, Ye Tiandao feared that if this continued, the entire Death Legion might become bogged down, so he quickly sought Ye Liuyun’s assistance.

Upon Ye Liuyun’s return, many commanders immediately apologized to him, admitting their inability to handle the situation properly.

After assessing the circumstances, Ye Liuyun reassured them, saying, "Tiandao did the right thing. Any further delay would have indeed been dangerous. It has been very challenging for you commanders to manage on your own here! We are all family, so let’s not speak like outsiders. When there’s a problem, we solve it together. As long as we stay united, there’s no enemy we can’t deal with!"

He promptly made adjustments afterward.

Yu Xiaofeng first mobilized the army and restructured the defenses. Formation masters like Qiong Qi also assisted in setting up defensive formations.

Ye Liuyun began inspecting the current strength of the Sharp Blade Group. The group currently had over fifteen hundred members, with some having advanced to the third tier of mastery, including Ye Tiandao and more than a dozen martial cultivators.

Most members were at the second tier of mastery, with only a small fraction at the first tier. Those who were killed by the enemy were mostly at the first tier of mastery. It’s not that they weren’t putting in effort in their cultivation; they simply ran out of resources.

Ye Liuyun immediately provided them with over two hundred units of elemental force to boost their strength, allowing them to break through to the second tier of mastery. Additionally, the entire Sharp Blade Group was taken into the subspace world of his avatar for accelerated training.

Then Ye Liuyun had his avatar take Lei Ming and Long Nü to scout the enemy and gather intelligence on their opponents.

The avatar captured a martial cultivator and extracted information through soul searching, uncovering all the details about the adversaries.

In the Tauren Galaxy, there are actually over a dozen dynasties, each belonging to different worlds. Initially, when Ye Tiandao and his group launched their attack, the inhabitants here weren’t united and fought independently. They merely observed the commotion, hoping the Death Legion would eliminate their rivals.

When they discovered that the Death Legion was steadily advancing and preparing for a long-term occupation, they began to form alliances, intending to expel the Death Legion from the Wild Bull Galaxy and then divide the territory seized by the Death Legion among themselves.

In this region, the highest level of martial cultivators is up to the fifth level of Dominator, which is considered quite powerful. Additionally, most of their elite forces are evenly matched with the strength of the Death Legion.

In fact, before Ye Liuyun’s Death Legion arrived, they had also organized coalition forces multiple times to explore the starry skies in search of resources. However, due to the presence of alien races in Ye Liuyun’s Silver Fox Galaxy, they had not ventured in that direction.

Yet, among their dozen or so dynasties, they often split and reformed, leading to the coalition frequently disbanding. Now, this coalition has reorganized to confront the Death Legion.

This time, they are led by a vice-commander at the fourth level of Dominator, a highly esteemed figure in the coalition named Qiang Hui, accompanied by an elite army of 500,000 and over 5,000 martial arts experts.

These martial arts experts are specifically tasked with targeting the Spearhead Group. Surprisingly, more than half of them are at the third level of Dominator, while the rest are at the second level of Dominator.

Upon their arrival, in their first battle against the Death Legion, they annihilated over 500 martial arts experts from the Spearhead Group and additionally wiped out an army of 50,000.

The 500,000 strong army led by Qiang Hui is entrenched on the planets before them, refraining from direct combat. The Death Legion finds them difficult to deal with. If they launch an attack, their losses would be even greater. However, if they do not fight, over time their resources will dwindle.
