At this moment, Wu Wang, Zhou Ye, and Wu Tianyu were discussing amongst themselves.
"What should we do? Should we leave this battlefield, or go back to look for Yan Xiaoquan and Brother Ye?"
Wu Wang said.
"You two decide, I'll follow,"
Zhou Ye thought for a moment before speaking.
"Brother Wu, what is your opinion?"
Wu Wang looked at Wu Tianyu.
"This ancient battlefield is too dangerous for us,"
Wu Tianyu said.
"You mean we should leave this ancient battlefield?"
Wu Wang asked.
"But the five of us belong to the same team. Now that the other two are in danger, it doesn't seem right for us to simply leave. Brother Wu, you should be the one to decide."
Wu Tianyu said.
"I'm... not sure what we should decide..."
Wu Wang said.
"Personally, I intend to go back and search for the two of them. But dragging you two along... what if something happens..."
Wu Wang sounded indecisive.
"Brother Wu, if you are not afraid, neither am I!"
Zhou Ye declared.
"That is my meaning as well."
Wu Tianyu nodded.
Right at that moment.
*Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!*
Three elders suddenly appeared, startling Wu Wang and the other two.
This was a seldom-frequented ancient battlefield. The sudden appearance of three living people felt abrupt and jarring.
"Are the three of you juniors from the Light Faction?"
A yellow-robed elder's gaze swept over Wu Wang and his companions as he asked.
"Yes, Senior! We are all members of the Light Faction!"
Wu Wang sensed the auras of the three elders and found them strikingly familiar. Joy surged within him and he immediately took a step forward and spoke.
Wu Wang realized that these three elders who had suddenly appeared were most likely highly skilled experts from the Light Faction!
Zhou Ye and Wu Tianyu had sensed it too and wore expressions of excitement.
"Your guess is correct. We are also from the Light Faction. We sensed an unusual disturbance within this ancient battlefield and came to investigate its cause. To my knowledge, five people from your team entered this ancient battlefield. Why are there only three now? Are the other two dead?"
The yellow-robed elder asked with a frown.
"Excellent! Experts from our Light Faction have arrived!"
"It seems our Light Faction's seniors have been keeping an eye on this ancient battlefield all along. The moment an anomaly occurred here, they rushed over!"
…
Hearing the words of the yellow-robed elder and confirming the identities of the three elders, Wu Wang and his companions were overjoyed and exchanged excited voice transmissions.
"Senior, our team did indeed have five members enter this ancient battlefield. Originally, all five of us were preparing to leave this ancient battlefield, but one of our teammates, named Ye Yunfei, was suddenly seized by a mysterious power. Our captain, Yan Xiaoquan, went back into the ancient battlefield to try to rescue him. The three of us were just discussing whether we should go back to look for those two."
Wu Wang reported honestly.
"I see. Give me their auras."
The yellow-robed elder nodded and said.
Wu Wang immediately simulated the Soul Body auras of Ye Yunfei and Yan Xiaoquan and presented them to the yellow-robed elder.
"You three follow us."
The yellow-robed elder flicked his sleeve, sweeping up Wu Wang and the others, then rose into the air alongside the other two elders, shooting deep into the ancient battlefield in an instant.
Meanwhile, Ye Yunfei and Huang Shang were still refining the War Remnant Souls.
Refining remnant souls was now a well-practiced routine for Ye Yunfei and Huang Shang, and the speed of refinement was swift.
The space surrounding Ye Yunfei was already densely packed with War Remnant Souls. From the outside, it was impossible to even see him.
Although these War Remnant Souls had been sealed, they could still emit sounds.
All the War Remnant Souls were shrieking and howling fiercely, their voices converging into a vast and mighty wave of sound, creating an awe-inspiring spectacle.
As the number of refined War Remnant Souls increased, Ye Yunfei's Soul Force Energy was rapidly rising.
The Soul-nurturing Tree and Ye Yunfei's own two Soul Bodies were constantly growing stronger!
Huang Shang had recently undergone a metamorphosis of his Ghost Body. Now, having refined a large number of War Remnant Souls, his pitch-black, glossy Ghost Body resembled an abyss of pure darkness, emitting an eerie aura that seemed ready to devour everything.
Any light that passed near his Ghost Body was pulled in and simply swallowed.
"Where on earth is Ye Yunfei now?"
Meanwhile, Yan Xiaoquan was desperately searching everywhere within the ancient battlefield, frantic with anxiety.
The ancient battlefield was trembling violently, both energy and laws were running wild, resembling a massive pot of boiling black water. The ground was cracking, and space itself was exploding.
In such an environment, Yan Xiaoquan's progress became extremely difficult.
Fortunately, the War Remnant Souls within this battlefield did not attack her, allowing her to barely manage to advance through the ancient battlefield.
Of course, she wasn't searching blindly. She had seen the direction in which Ye Yunfei was pulled. Following this direction, she soon detected a faint, residual trace of Ye Yunfei's aura. A surge of joy washed over her; she knew she was on the right track.
"Hmm? Why are so many War Remnant Souls gathered there?"
Yan Xiaoquan proceeded deeper into the ancient battlefield along the trail of Ye Yunfei's aura. Suddenly, she saw a massive gathering of War Remnant Souls ahead, densely packed together, virtually impenetrable, stacked into a huge, sprawling black mountain.
"Why do I feel… Ye Yunfei's aura is within that? Could Ye Yunfei be amidst those War Remnant Souls? Could my senses be mistaken?"
Yan Xiaoquan muttered uncertainly as she stared at the densely packed pile of War Remnant Souls in the distance.
"Let me search ahead a bit more."
After some thought, Yan Xiaoquan decided to circumvent the mountain of War Remnant Souls and continue forward for some distance, but she found she could no longer sense any trace of Ye Yunfei's aura.
"Could Ye Yunfei truly be amidst that mountain of War Remnant Souls?"
Yan Xiaoquan turned back, gazing into the distance behind her and muttering to herself.
She then retraced her steps, returning to the location crowded with War Remnant Souls.
Upon returning, she once again sensed Ye Yunfei's aura.
"It seems Ye Yunfei is indeed here!"
Yan Xiaoquan declared, looking at the War Remnant Souls stacked together like a great mound.
However, the number of War Remnant Souls occupying this patch of space was truly immense, completely saturating a vast area and leaving almost no gaps whatsoever!
Yan Xiaoquan was certain Ye Yunfei should be in the middle of those War Remnant Souls, but what gave her a headache was figuring out how to get in.
The Soul Force Energy released by the sheer number of gathered War Remnant Souls was utterly terrifying, roaring and howling, preventing Yan Xiaoquan from getting too close and making her incapable of even attempting to force her way through. All she could do was stand to the side in helpless anxiety.
"But Ye Yunfei can refine these War Remnant Souls, and that ghost cultivator beside him can refine them too. So these War Remnant Souls shouldn't pose a great threat to him."
Yan Xiaoquan comforted herself.
She had previously witnessed with her own eyes how Ye Yunfei and Huang Shang refined the Dark Faction War Remnant Souls.
