After Lul Wu caused a scene, Ye Zhen accused him of insubordination and ordered him to be reported to the War Soul Hall. To avoid severe punishment, Lul Wu pleaded with Ye Zhen. Ye Zhen then demanded the Formation Control Jade Token from Lul Wu, which was held by his Military Priest, as a condition for mercy. When Lul Wu refused, Ye Zhen threatened to escalate the matter by involving the Barbarian Spirit Hall Master. This threat, combined with the revelation that a mysterious figure had been manipulating the Sin Slaves for months, convinced Ye Zhen that the formation control mother token was a dangerous hidden threat that he needed to eliminate.

In a mansion to the left of the Eastern War Zone Human Demon Battlefield Grand Commander’s Mansion, Ji Yuan’s confidant, also known as the Grand Governor’s chief strategist, Gu Yue, crushed a recently received Jade Scroll to pieces.

"A bunch of idiots!"

"It’s understandable that those Sin Slaves were dealt with by someone named Ye, as I had little hope for them anyway! But how did Lul Wu, these Marching Priests of the War Soul Hall, so easily hand over the Mother Talisman?"

"Fools, this Lul Wu is truly stupid to the extreme! Doesn’t he know that the grudge and even shame between the War Soul Hall and Ye Zhen persist? Their Hall Master would never punish him because of Ye Zhen!"

Upon receiving the news, strategist Gu Yue was filled with rage.

If the Ninth Month Moon Priest Lul Wu were in front of him, he might have slapped Lul Wu a few times.

On the contrary, Ye Zhen, who had just acquired the Formation Mother Talisman of Blood River Fortress, felt somewhat fortunate.

Ye Zhen was fully aware of the relationship between him and the War Soul Hall, or rather the Barbarian Spirit Hall.

Back then, to suppress excessively powerful Divine Soul Power with the Ten Thousand Bones Reincarnation Seal from the War Soul Hall, Ye Zhen almost came to blows with them.

Would the War Soul Hall Master give Ye Zhen any face to deal with his own men?

The answer is basically impossible!

Moreover, if the Ninth Month Moon Priest Lul Wu holding the Formation Mother Talisman of Blood River Fortress didn’t want to or actively hand it over, Ye Zhen could at most whip him a few hundred times, but wouldn’t he be able to do anything else.

Unexpectedly, Lul Wu was intimidated by Ye Zhen.

He compromised instantly, handing over the Formation Mother Talisman of Blood River Fortress.

Ye Zhen estimated that Lul Wu must have been stationed on the Human Demon Battlefield for a long time and wasn’t aware of certain internal affairs of the War Soul Hall.

Especially considering the incident where Ye Zhen confronted the War Soul Hall, which was somewhat embarrassing for them, and they wished fewer people knew about it.

It’s understandable that Lul Wu, far on the Human Demon Battlefield, was unaware.

Thus, he was intimidated by Ye Zhen.

The Sin Slaves and Ancestor God Temple Marching Priests stationed permanently at Blood River Fortress originally constituted the most uncontrollable forces most prone to accidents.

Now, these two hidden dangers have been completely eliminated.

From today, Ye Zhen can sleep peacefully at the Blood River Fortress.

Without worrying about being betrayed by his own in his sleep.

As for other possible flaws and dangers, compared to these two major unstable factors, they don’t count much.

Liuu Feng and his men will handle the scrutiny.

Moreover, Ye Zhen possesses a true strategic Divine Artifact.

Fully taking over the fortress, planning defense zones, getting familiar with the entire Blood River Fortress’s terrain, formation restrictions, city defense weapons, and the rotation of external stationed troops—a series of events kept everyone busy.

Except Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen acted as a hands-off shopkeeper, handing all military affairs to Liuu Feng and Gu Tieqi.

Certainly, Ye Zhen himself wasn’t idle.

In large-scale battles, several factors are crucial, but aside from intelligence, the command system comes first.

If the command system gets paralyzed, then no matter how strong or numerous your soldiers are, it means nothing.

Therefore, protecting key officers is vital.

However, Ye Zhen doesn’t have so many experts to protect all leaders.

Thus, Ye Zhen had to find another way.

"Here are two sets of armor I’ve crafted, a shield; Brother Monkey, Brother Pig, Senior Sister, all of you, take one." Ye Zhen solemnly brought out a large pile of Spirit Light-filled, earth-yellow colored hide armor.

"The one flickering with firelight is for Brother Monkey, the one with water light inside the Spirit Light is for Senior Sister, the largest is for Brother Pig, the one with gleaming gold Spirit Light is for Tie Qi, the one with three-colored light is for Liuu Feng, all matching your attributes." Ye Zhen added.

Others didn’t move, while the Long-Armed Fire Monkey King Sunx Ba stepped forward first to pick up his own share, sniffed several times, and his expression suddenly changed, "Is this made with the hide of the defensive-proficient Bear Clan Dao Realm?"

"Pretty much, but, Brother Monkey, take another look!" Ye Zhen said with a smiled.

"This..."

Sunx Ba hesitated and looked back at Zhu Hong, "Brother Monkey, this hide armor contains thousands of Dao Patterns in every inch that only I can see. This seems to be armor made from Bear Clan Dao Realm late-stage hide..."

At this point, Zhu Hong and Sunx Ba exchanged glances, suddenly exclaimed, "This... Is this made from the hide of the Bear Clan Giant Spirit Great Saint?"

Zhu Hong said nothing, but Sunx Ba was the first to raise his hand, "Isn’t this too precious? Armor made from the skin of the Bear Clan Great Saint, its power is comparable to Low Grade Postnatal Spirit Treasures, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen smiled again, "That’s not all!"

Sunx Ba, Zhu Hong, Liao Feibai, Liuu Feng, Gu Tieqi, and Wang Baimu all looked at Ye Zhen with astonishment and uncertainty.

"Among the three treasures I have given you, the lightest one, the full-body armor, can be refined into your Dark Palace or Dao Palace. It is called the Grand Saint Light Armor. Its defense is comparable to a Low Grade Postnatal Spirit Treasure, and on your bodies, it can easily withstand attacks from an Early Dao Realm."

"Even the full attack of a Mid Dao Realm can be easily blocked, but encountering a Late Dao Realm powerhouse, it will be difficult."

"However, the heavy-looking vest-style leather armor in front of you is made from the bear skin of a Great Saint of the Giant Spirits. After hundreds of kinds of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are superimposed and refined, it forms a bear king heavy armor protecting the vital parts. At critical moments, it can even withstand the full attack of a Late Dao Realm powerhouse. It’s a lifesaving weapon!"

"Additionally, the Grand Saint Light Shield in front of you can be refined into your bodies. At critical moments, it can completely withstand a full attack from a Mid Dao Realm powerhouse and even hold up against the full attack of a Late Dao Realm powerhouse."

"These items should give you a chance of survival." Ye Zhen said.

Before Zhu Hong spoke, Gu Tieqi and others felt a bit embarrassed.

After all, these treasures are too precious.

Only Wang Baimu silently stepped forward and collected the three treasures given by Ye Zhen. "With them, even encountering a Late Dao Realm powerhouse, I can hold out for a moment."

"Alright, stop dawdling, take them all and quickly refine them. I can’t predict the strength of future enemies, but I definitely don’t want to be collecting the bodies of any of you!"

Sister Liao Feibai didn’t say much either. She proactively stepped forward to accept these lifesaving treasures, understanding Ye Zhen’s intentions.

"Brother Monkey, why are you acting so indecisively, even worse than my sister?"

Ye Zhen hadn’t spoken yet, but when he did, it stirred up a frenzy.

Sister Liao Feibai raised her eyebrows sharply, "So what about women? Do you dare to look down on little women?"

"Sister, I was wrong. It’s Brother Monkey who’s not as forthright as you. I have never looked down on any woman." Ye Zhen quickly promised.

"Hmph, when have I ever been indecisive. If my brother gives me a lifesaving treasure, I’ll accept it!" After speaking, Sunx Ba also took the lifesaving three-piece set.

Once Sunx Ba accepted, Zhu Hong also accepted, and Gu Tieqi and Liuu Feng followed suit.

These few are Ye Zhen’s core team; not one can afford any problems.

As for Xuan Hu and Fengg Jiumo staying in the North Sea, they won’t miss their share either.

This lifesaving three-piece set is the result of Ye Zhen’s hands-off management during these days.

Whenever he had time, Ye Zhen would retreat into the Temporal Sequence Space within the Mirage Dragon Pearl, spending part of the time cultivating and part of the time refining these lifesaving treasures.

Moreover, during this period, Ye Zhen’s lifesaving accomplishments are not limited to these before him.

What he gave to Sunx Ba, Gu Tieqi, and the others are the top tier, crafted from the bear skin of the Bear Clan Great Saint Giant Spirit.

Bear Clan’s Great Saint Giant Spirit has a body reaching a hundred feet, and the bear skin peeled off is plentiful. After equipping the core personnel with a three-piece set each, there’s still surplus left.

Besides the bear skin of the Great Saint Giant Spirit, Ye Zhen also obtained the skins of ten Bear Clan Dao Realms.

All these Bear Clan Dao Realm bear skins have been refined into Giant Bear Dao Light Armor and Giant Bear Dao Light Shield by Ye Zhen.

Their defensive ability is a notch lower than what Ye Zhen gave to Sunx Ba and Liuu Feng, but it’s still strong.

With joint activation, even the attack of a Mid Dao Realm powerhouse can be resisted.

Moreover, both the Giant Bear Dao Light Armor and Giant Bear Dao Light Shield can be refined into the Dark Palace.

Discussing the power of individual items, they definitely surpass Supreme Suppression Artifacts. And due to material reasons, even the user’s cultivation is average, the defensive power is still stunning.

There are over a thousand sets of such suits.

The main reason is the inherent defensive power of the material, meaning the bear skins are strong enough, so the quality is high. In order to rush for quantity and time, Ye Zhen only performed the most conventional refinement without going for the most delicate refinement.

If there’s time for delicate refinement, the defensive power could at least be increased by twenty percent.

If other Artifact Refiners knew this, they would hate Ye Zhen to the extent of wishing him dead.

Such pinnacle refining materials, Ye Zhen only performs the most ordinary refinement. If placed in their hands, each piece would certainly become their hallmark or masterpiece.

These over a thousand sets of Giant Bear Dao Light Armor, Ye Zhen equips all under his Heavenly Patrol Divine General, Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunter, and the Sky Wave Army of North Sea’s Military Commander, commander, and captains—these intermediate and high-level officers.

Additionally, combining Patrol Hunters and Patrols ensures they have a chance to react and survive when facing adversaries far superior to their cultivation.

Thus, whether in a localized war or a full-scale war, Ye Zhen’s command system is not easily paralyzed, and at worst, it can secure invaluable reaction time.

And with this dissemination of equipment ensuring the command system, Ye Zhen’s Blood River Fortress will truly stabilize, and incidents won’t happen easily.

Twenty-one days after entering the Blood River Fortress, the defense of the Sky Wave Army in North Sea has fully stabilized.

Yet just as defenses have stabilized and Ye Zhen breathes a sigh of relief, Liuu Feng rushes over, face full of solemnity upon receiving a military report.

"Sir, trouble has arisen!"
