The appearance of Yi Tianyun caused not only Yue Ming but also several other generals to stand up. They didn't know Yi Tianyun's identity. Upon seeing Yi Tianyun, they became alert.
"Don't be agitated; he is our true leader, the one who has been supporting us from behind!" Yue Ming gestured to the generals beside her to remain calm.
"True leader?" Their eyes lit up. They had heard about a leader a long time ago but had never seen him.
However, now that they saw him, they sized up Yi Tianyun without showing any respect. Yi Tianyun had not displayed his skills before them, so he lacked credibility.
It was different for Yue Ming; she was now the actual leader! Everyone followed her orders, doing whatever she commanded.
"Show some respect! He is our true leader, and you all must follow his instructions, understand?" Yue Ming snorted coldly, getting furious at their disdainful glances.
"Yes!"
They were forced to obey Yi Tianyun but still felt disgruntled. Outwardly, they complied, but inwardly, they were not convinced. It was undisputable that Yi Tianyun's cultivation level was at the Heaven Monarch level, stronger than that of the generals present. However, some generals had also reached the Heaven Monarch level.
They only obeyed Yue Ming because she had saved them. What could Yi Tianyun do? Control things from behind? But they only saw Yue Ming exerting herself, not Yi Tianyun. Now, suddenly he appeared, claiming to be in charge?
They were a tough nut to crack. Having been slaves, what was there to fear? Especially now, facing the hostile Divine Spirit Race, they were fearless.
If not for Yue Ming's orders, they wouldn't bother with Yi Tianyun. Even if a God Monarch appeared, they wouldn't listen.
They were people who had died once; what else was there to fear?
Yi Tianyun patted Yue Ming on the shoulder, smiling lightly, "No need for that. Let them follow you in battle; I'll just support you from behind."
How could he not guess their thoughts? He knew that if he intervened now, it would affect morale. So it was better to let Yue Ming lead; she was doing a good job anyway.
The evil spirits' power in the Mortal Domain had been mostly eradicated, which furious the elders of the Evil Spirit Divine Realm.
"But..." Yue Ming still felt unhappy. She originally intended to train a group of strong fighters and then hand them over to Yi Tianyun for management.
"No need to say more. Tell me about the current situation; it doesn't seem too optimistic?" Yi Tianyun didn't dwell on the matter. They would naturally follow him in due time.
"Okay." Yue Ming didn't hesitate to report the current situation immediately.
In summary, the Evil Spirit Divine Realm had sent strong fighters, including many Heaven Monarchs and even God Monarchs. The strongest of the slaves were only at the Heaven Monarch level, making them powerless against God Monarchs.
They discussed how to lure the God Monarchs away and eliminate the remaining evil spirits. It was a difficult task, and a slight mistake could lead to a devastating blow.
"I understand the situation. Are you ready?" Yi Tianyun smiled slightly. This kind of problem was not difficult for him.
"We are ready!" Yue Ming's eyes lit up, knowing Yi Tianyun was ready to lead them into battle!
"Alright, prepare to set off and eliminate the remaining evil spirits!" Yi Tianyun's eyes burned with determination. Once they destroyed this last batch, the evil spirits' power in the Mortal Domain would be completely eradicated.
With the evil spirits in the Mortal Domain gone, it would be the turn of the Evil Spirit Divine Realm!
"Wait!"
At this moment, several generals stood up, looking at Yi Tianyun seriously, "Sir, don't we have a plan?"
They couldn't bear it anymore. Just charging in without a plan? Wouldn't that lead to annihilation?
"You!" Yue Ming was furious. Having followed Yi Tianyun for some time, she knew his skills and methods were infallible.
Seeing them disobedient made her furious. She was about to speak when Yi Tianyun stopped her.
"My plans are always simple: charge in and kill everything in sight." Yi Tianyun smiled at them.
"Kill everything in sight? Sir, the enemy has God Monarchs. Your cultivation level should only be at the Heaven Monarch level, right? Are you sure this won't be suicide?"
Their faces looked grim. Such things were not uncommon. For victory, those in power would do anything. While they were not afraid of death, they didn't want to die in vain or be cannon fodder.
They wanted to die with value. They didn't want to participate if it were a defeat or a crushing battle.
Yi Tianyun looked at them silently, not saying much. It was true they had been oppressed slaves, and their rebellious spirit was intense.
"The master's decisions are never wrong. He won't let us die in vain!" Yue Ming couldn't stand it and directly scolded them.
"Lady Ming, we only follow your orders!" They still refused to listen to Yi Tianyun, only obeying Yue Ming. Even if they died, they would do so willingly since Yue Ming had saved their lives.
Yue Ming was almost exploding with anger, feeling extremely awkward. She wanted to manage this generation well and then hand them over to Yi Tianyun. Who knew this would happen, making her both angry and helpless.
Amidst the tense atmosphere, a guard rushed in from outside, anxiously saying, "It's bad! The guards reported that a large group of evil spirits is heading this way, including a God Monarch. They discovered our hiding spot. We must evacuate immediately!"
The generals' faces changed, and Yue Ming's expression turned serious. It seemed they needed to retreat.
"Lady Ming, we must retreat now!" The generals urged.
Without a solid plan, they dared not face the enemy head-on, or they would surely die.
Yue Ming turned to Yi Tianyun, wanting to hear his thoughts.
"It's too late; they're already here."
As Yi Tianyun spoke, an overwhelming pressure descended from the sky, enveloping the area.
Their faces changed, realizing escape was impossible. They hadn't expected the enemy to arrive so quickly!
"You wanted to see my skills? You'll see them soon." Yi Tianyun smiled calmly, exuding an air of confidence.
