"There's no need to rush. No matter how strong that brat is, he's merely at the Earth Immortal level. What does he matter to our Dark Faction?
I've just received word that our Dark Faction will be dispatching one hundred Earth Immortals to the battlefield next," another black-robed man sneered coldly as he spoke.
"One hundred Earth Immortals?
Our Dark Faction has that many Earth Immortals?" The first black-robed man who spoke was stunned.
"Heh heh...
Do you really think the power of our Dark Faction is only what it appears on the surface?
Not long ago, I had the honor of an audience with the Supreme Overlord. According to the Supreme Overlord, our Dark Faction's true strength is a hundredfold—even a thousandfold—greater than what is seen on the surface.
Moreover, this is the final World-Destroying War. Our Dark Faction will gradually reveal its true power and, in the end, lay bare all of our hidden reserves without reservation!" another black-robed man stated.
"So that's how it is." The other two black-robed men perked up significantly upon hearing this.
"Also, we are Resource Collectors. Our primary duty is to gather resources. We should involve ourselves less in other matters and just do our own job well," the same black-robed man added.
Not long after, the three black-robed men finished collecting all the flesh and blood essences and soul body fragments from this battlefield and left.
"I'm sensing Huang Zhishi's aura!
It seems to be heading in that direction!"
At that very moment, somewhere in the Chaotic Void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm suddenly spoke to Ye Yunfei.
*Swoosh!*
Ye Yunfei activated the Space Teleportation Token and immediately teleported in that direction.
"Steward Huang definitely passed through this location. We must have gotten the direction right. Keep going!"
Not long after, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm started speaking again.
"Yes, I can also sense Steward Huang's aura now!" Hun Lao also nodded.
Ye Yunfei continuously used the Space Teleportation Token, streaking forward through the Chaotic Void at astonishing speed.
Before long,
Ye Yunfei suddenly came to a stop, his gaze fixed on a certain area ahead.
There, an entrance to a world emanated thick, roiling black fog.
"This is a world of the Dark Faction," Ye Yunfei said gravely.
He sensed that Huang Zhishi seemed to have already entered that world.
"It looks like Steward Huang has already fallen into the hands of the Dark Faction," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm stated.
"Yes.
But the trail here is far too obvious.
Huang Zhishi's aura is everywhere. It's extremely likely this was done on purpose!
Be careful. After capturing Huang Zhishi, the Dark Faction has probably already set up a trap here, waiting for you to come," Hun Lao said, his tone severe.
"That is a possibility," Ye Yunfei said slowly as he stared at the world entrance in the distance.
The aura of Huang Zhishi saturated this entire space—it was far too obvious!
Ye Yunfei knew something was definitely fishy!
"Vermilion Bird King, Steward Lü, and the others are still with Steward Huang. No matter how dangerous it is inside, I must enter to save them," Ye Yunfei continued.
"I think you'd best contact the Light Faction and have their experts come to assist in the rescue effort.
Because the traces of a setup here are far too obvious. Something is definitely amiss," Hun Lao advised.
"Here's what we'll do. I'll first contact Elder Chu and Elder Tianwu Chan Master.
Then I'll go in myself to scout the situation.
The Light Faction and Dark Faction are currently at war, with battlefields everywhere across the Three Thousand Worlds. The fighting is intense on both sides, so the Light Faction's experts are likely extremely busy and may not have manpower to spare for my affairs," Ye Yunfei mused, then said.
And so, Ye Yunfei took out the Light Faction sound transmission jade slip and sent several messages.
At the same time,
inside that world ahead, rolling black fog surged and howled everywhere.
"Report! Ye Yunfei seems to have arrived!"
In a black palace within this world, a scout of the Dark Faction hurriedly entered and reported.
"Oh?
Has that brat finally arrived?"
The palace was filled with beings with fierce auras. Among them were members of the Dark Faction, as well as humans and members of other races. Upon hearing the report, they all perked up and stood simultaneously.
Every single one of them was an Earth Immortal expert!
"Good! We've been waiting for him, and he hasn't disappointed us!" a Dark Faction expert sneered.
"Ye Yunfei, you vile spawn! You destroyed the headquarters of our Qiantang Empire! I will tear you limb from limb!" A glare of madness flashed in the eyes of an old man dressed in yellow official robes.
"This time, Ye Yunfei must be eliminated. If we allow him to continue growing, he will undoubtedly become a great affliction for us!" a short, elderly man shrilled.
If Ye Yunfei were here, he would immediately recognize this short elder as Five Poison Immortal Toad, an expert from the Five Immortals Sect.
"Let's go take a look. Once Ye Yunfei enters, we must immediately block the world entrance, leaving him with nowhere to run!" a Dark Faction expert declared.
The Earth Immortal experts in the palace then all walked out and soared into the air.
Outside the world,
after sending his messages, Ye Yunfei put away the transmission jade slip.
"I'm preparing to enter now," Ye Yunfei said solemnly.
"Hun Lao, I'm entrusting the Phantom Tower to you.
You stay nearby here with it. Make absolutely sure to conceal your traces so that no one discovers you," Ye Yunfei instructed Hun Lao.
The people Ye Yunfei had rescued earlier were all inside the Phantom Tower, including his parents and Xiao Fei.
Therefore, he didn't want to bring the Phantom Tower into that world to take risks.
If anything went wrong, everyone inside the Phantom Tower would be implicated.
Ye Yunfei knew that Hun Lao possessed the inheritance of the Chaos World race and was actually extremely adept at concealment. Once submerged within space, rooted deep within its layers, and with his aura retracted, even a consummate stage Earth Immortal would have a hard time finding Hun Lao.
That's why entrusting the Phantom Tower to Hun Lao gave Ye Yunfei more peace of mind.
As for the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm race, traversing space was their greatest specialty. Bringing the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm along would allow Ye Yunfei to utilize his divine ability for escape in critical moments.
"Alright.
Be careful," Hun Lao said.
Having been at Ye Yunfei's side for so long, Hun Lao understood his character all too clearly. So even though he also wanted to follow, he nodded in agreement.
"Alright, now let's go in," Ye Yunfei said to the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
"How shall we enter? Fight our way in, or sneak in secretly first?" the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm asked.
"Let's first see if we can sneak in unnoticed.
After all, our primary objective here is to save people.
Once inside, we'll act according to the situation," Ye Yunfei said.
"Very well, then follow me," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said.
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm then activated his spatial divine ability and began traversing space with Ye Yunfei.
