"Young Master Ye, according to the news from headquarters, this time our Reincarnation Palace is about to wage a true war against Qingxuan Sect and four other major forces!
The Reincarnation Palace will retreat and tolerate no more!"
Elder Zhuge stood to the side, speaking with a face full of excitement.
The other elders of the Reincarnation Palace were also eager and itching, wishing they could rush back immediately to join the battle and have a good fight with the forces of those major factions.
"Good. We shall depart at once and return to the headquarters of the Reincarnation Palace!"
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Following this, everyone entered Yan Xiaoquan's flying ship. The vessel shot forth like lightning, heading back toward the headquarters of the Reincarnation Palace.
At the same time.
Outside the headquarters of the Reincarnation Palace.
"Everyone, the Earth Immortals of the Reincarnation Palace have been constantly projecting their Soul Power perceptions out these days. It seems the Reincarnation Palace is preparing to make a move. Be ready."
A green-robed elder spoke clearly.
This green-robed elder stood in place, causing the space around him to subtly distort and warp incessantly, as if unable to withstand the aura emanating from him.
This was an Earth Immortal!
Including the green-robed elder, a total of thirteen Earth Immortals stood gathered around him!
Among these thirteen Earth Immortals, two were from the Dark Faction!
Besides these thirteen Earth Immortals, armies from various forces were stationed in the nearby starry void—all hailing from the Qingxuan Sect and the four other major powers, as well as the subsidiary forces under these five factions.
Dense masses of troops were arrayed in the starry void, stretching as far as the eye could see!
Within the headquarters of the Reincarnation Palace.
Inside a certain ancestral hall.
This hall appeared from the outside to be just an ordinary ancestral hall.
But upon entering, one would discover it was actually a Small World!
At this moment, all the upper echelons of the Reincarnation Palace headquarters were within this Small World, piously kneeling before an ancient, grand Altar.
On top of this grand Altar were stacked layers upon layers of coffins!
Each coffin emanated thick Samsara energy.
A withered old man, emaciated like a desiccated corpse, stood atop the Altar, performing a strange, leaping dance while chanting some ancient incantation.
This withered elder was precisely the old Wizard of the Reincarnation Palace.
He was conducting a mysterious ritual, or perhaps one could say, performing a rite.
As the old Wizard performed the rite, the coffins placed upon the Altar actually began to stir, rocking and shaking slightly.
As the coffins shook, vast amounts of dense Samsara energy also poured out from within them.
It was unknown how much time passed.
"Everyone, chant the Ancient Scripture of Samsara together. Let us summon the souls of these ancestors back from Samsara!"
At a certain moment, the old Wizard suddenly gave a loud shout.
Hearing the Wizard's shout, all the upper echelons of the Reincarnation Palace, including Lunhui Laozu, began chanting an ancient incantation in unison—precisely the same chant the old Wizard had just been reciting during the rite.
*Thump! Thump! Thump!...*
At this time, even greater stirring sounds emerged from within the coffins on the grand Altar, as if someone was forcefully pushing against the coffin lids.
Seeing this, most of the Reincarnation Palace's upper echelon were both shocked and thrilled.
According to the old Wizard, these ancestors of the Reincarnation Palace were in the midst of returning from Samsara!
A while later.
*Bang!*
Suddenly, the lid of one of the coffins was pushed open. An old man with hair and beard white as snow slowly rose from within the coffin. He opened his eyes and gazed slowly at his surroundings.
"Ah..."
The old man released a sigh, which sounded distant and profound, as if it had traveled from a remote time beyond the ages.
"Descendants, why have you summoned me back from Samsara? Could it be that our Reincarnation Palace has reached a juncture of life and death?"
The old man's gaze fell upon the Reincarnation Palace's upper echelon as he spoke and asked.
"We pay respects to our Ancestor!"
Led by Lunhui Laozu, all the upper echelon of the Reincarnation Palace stepped forward together to pay homage.
Lunhui Laozu directly shot forth a strand of Soul Power information, sending it before the old man standing within the coffin.
The old man simply used his spiritual sense to perceive the information, immediately understanding what had happened.
"So that's how it is."
The old man nodded.
*Bang! Bang! Bang!...*
Subsequently, more coffin lids were pushed open. One after another, ancestors of the Reincarnation Palace rose from within the coffins.
Each of these Reincarnation Palace ancestors had once dominated an era in this space-time, were the outstanding figures of their respective epochs. Now, they had all been summoned back!
Some of these ancestors' glorious deeds were still being recounted within the Reincarnation Palace up to the present day. And now, these very individuals had actually returned from Samsara, stood once more within the headquarters of the Reincarnation Palace, and would once again fight for the palace!
"So many ancestors have returned. From now on, our Reincarnation Palace has nothing to fear!"
Each member of the Reincarnation Palace's upper echelon was elated to the extreme. The anxiety that had plagued their hearts this whole time finally settled. They finally understood what Lunhui Laozu had meant when he spoke of their true reserves!
"Qing Luo, immediately assemble the army. We are preparing to sally forth."
Lunhui Laozu turned his head to look at Su Qingluo, speaking solemnly.
"Yes!"
Su Qingluo nodded. Then, in a flash, she exited this Small World. Using her authority as Palace Lord, she began assembling the great army of the Reincarnation Palace.
"A'Zhu, A'Xiang. Once the battle truly begins, the two of you go and find someone for me."
Su Qingluo called two women before her.
"Palace Lord, who are you asking us to find?"
One of the women, dressed in purple, spoke up.
This woman was called A'Zhu.
A'Zhu and the other woman, A'Xiang, were both Su Qingluo's confidantes.
"The information about the person I want you to find is in this jade slip."
Su Qingluo took out a jade slip and handed it to A'Zhu.
"Wear this bracelet. It can protect you if you encounter danger."
Su Qingluo then took out a crystal-clear bracelet and handed it to A'Xiang.
"This... this is an Earth Immortal artifact!"
Both A'Zhu and A'Xiang were astonished.
"I have left a strand of energy within this bracelet. When you encounter danger, simply activate it directly."
Su Qingluo explained.
Both A'Zhu and A'Xiang were only True Immortals. They originally lacked the strength to activate and control an Earth Immortal artifact. Therefore, Su Qingluo had left a trace of her own energy within this bracelet to assist them in controlling it.
"Palace Lord, we understand!"
A'Zhu and A'Xiang replied simultaneously.
Right at this moment.
"If I'm not mistaken, A'Zhu and A'Xiang have definitely been sent by Qing Luo to find Ye Yunfei."
At this very moment, an old woman leaning on a cane suddenly appeared in the distance. She stared at the jade slip gripped in A'Zhu's hand, musing secretly.
"I truly never imagined that an ant from a mere low-level Small World back then could have actually reached this point today."
The old woman spoke in a voice only she herself could hear.
This old woman was precisely Granny Long, the one who had sent people to hunt down Ye Yunfei years ago!
She had repeatedly dispatched forces from the Reincarnation Palace to leave the Main World and enter the Three Thousand Worlds to kill Ye Yunfei, but each attempt had ended in failure.
"It seems everything that boy has done during this time was for Qing Luo's sake.
This should originally be a good thing for our Reincarnation Palace.
However, if that boy truly enters the Reincarnation Palace, he will most likely seek vengeance on me for what happened in the past.
I must find a way to stop him."
A trace of viciousness flashed through Granny Long's eyes.
