“Excellent!”
The five elders absolutely obeyed Ye Yunfei's command.
Elder Zhuo and the other three elders immediately went to assemble their forces. Elder Qi entered the Phantom Tower to continue his secluded cultivation and consolidate his realm.
“Battalion Leader Ye, when the fighting starts, you must notify me, and let me come out to participate. Combat is actually a rather good method for consolidating one's realm,” Elder Qi said to Ye Yunfei.
“Alright, I know,” Ye Yunfei nodded in reply.
Not long after, the elite forces of the 35th Battalion were assembled and brought before Ye Yunfei. Every single member of the battalion looked at Ye Yunfei with fanatical eyes.
They knew that next, Battalion Leader Ye would begin leading them on another crusade against the Dark Faction!
During this period, the members of the 35th Battalion had taken turns entering the Phantom Tower to cultivate, and all of them had progressed tremendously. Now, each one was brimming with fighting spirit, itching to immediately engage the Dark Faction in battle.
“Mmm, very good,” Ye Yunfei used his spiritual sense to feel the fighting spirit of the entire battalion, then nodded, feeling very satisfied.
“It's a pity I don't have any high-level battle formations on hand right now. The ones I collected before are far too low-level to be useful now. I'll have to collect some more advanced ones when I get the chance,” Ye Yunfei thought to himself as he observed the 35th Battalion troops before him.
Ye Yunfei then teleported all these people into the Phantom Tower.
“Reporting to Battalion Leader Ye, I have ascertained the specific locations of a number of Dark Faction nests!” A middle-aged man hurried to stand before Ye Yunfei and reported.
This was one of the battalion's Deacons responsible for intelligence-gathering.
“Hmm, well done. Have you gathered rough intel on the strength of these Dark Faction nests? We'll start with the weakest, progressing from weak to strong,” Ye Yunfei nodded and spoke.
“You can rest assured, Battalion Leader Ye, I've roughly gathered intel on their strength! I will immediately lead the way to the weakest Dark Faction nest!” Understanding Ye Yunfei's meaning, the middle-aged man replied.
Last time, for the dozen-or-so Dark Faction nests the 35th Battalion had destroyed, it was this deacon and his subordinates who had first scouted out the specific circumstances of those nests, after which Ye Yunfei led the attack.
“Good! Move out immediately!” Ye Yunfei nodded.
Ye Yunfei took out his space teleportation tablet, activated it directly, and teleported away from the Xiaotian Realm with the deacon.
Next, following the route indicated by the deacon, Ye Yunfei continuously used the space teleportation tablet, traveling at astonishing speeds through the Chaotic Void of the Three Thousand Worlds.
Throughout this journey, Ye Yunfei kept an extremely low profile, completely restraining his aura. Because he understood that the Dark Faction had him on their radar now, and once they discovered his whereabouts, they would surely send experts to hunt him down.
Not long after.
“Battalion Leader Ye, we've arrived. That Small World ahead is one of the Dark Faction's nests, labeled Nest 96. It is garrisoned by a total of six Dark Faction Earth Immortal experts. Three are Intermediate Earth Immortals, and three are Initial Earth Immortals,” The deacon pointed at the Small World as he spoke to Ye Yunfei, after they had arrived near the entrance-exit point.
“Three Intermediate Earth Immortals, three Initial Earth Immortals... Hmm, very good. Such strength is nothing to fear. We can simply charge right in,” Ye Yunfei nodded and said.
Then Ye Yunfei teleported the five elders out, explained the situation, and all five elders also supported a direct assault.
Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei and the five elders teleported directly in front of the Small World's entrance-exit point. With a wave of his hand, Ye Yunfei instantly deployed several dozen Formations that crashed down with a thunderous roar, sealing off this entrance-exit point and completely isolating it from the outside world!
In this way, Ye Yunfei believed that even Earth Immortal experts would find it difficult to enter or exit through this point!
Before Ye Yunfei could even take action, the five elders swarmed forward and, in less than a single breath's time, slaughtered all the Dark Faction personnel guarding the entrance-exit point.
Immediately after, Ye Yunfei led the five elders charging into the Small World. He then teleported out all the 35th Battalion forces.
“Kill!”
The five elders charged at the forefront, radiating fierce killing intent. Wherever they went, the Dark Faction members they encountered ahead were blasted apart, their miserable cries echoing everywhere.
The six Earth Immortal experts of this Dark Faction nest were currently in secluded cultivation. Upon hearing the commotion, they were greatly alarmed and rushed out.
During this period, this Dark Faction nest was in a state of temporary recuperation, so most of its forces were resting in seclusion. How could they have imagined the Light Faction's 35th Battalion suddenly coming to attack them at their doorstep?
“It's the Light Faction!”
“That young man seems to be Ye Yunfei! They say he is now the Battalion Leader of the Light Faction's 35th Battalion. He has brought the battalion's forces here!”
...
The six Dark Faction Earth Immortal experts responsible for garrisoning this nest quickly recognized Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei's appearance and Soul Body aura had long since spread throughout the various nests of the Dark Faction.
“Battalion Leader Ye, you needn't even lift a finger against these fellows! The five of us can handle them perfectly well. You bunch, get over here and accept your death!” Elder Qi, who had just recently broken through to Advanced Earth Immortal, was exactly looking for an opportunity to have a good fight. He took the lead, charging forward with a loud roar.
Elder Zhuo and the other four elders were unwilling to fall behind and followed closely behind Elder Qi.
The next moment, the five Earth Immortals from the 35th Battalion – Elder Qi and the others – fiercely battled the six Earth Immortal experts from this nest.
Fighting two opponents at once, Elder Qi unleashed majestic divine might, forcing the two opposing Earth Immortals to fall back step by step.
“Very good,” Ye Yunfei nodded repeatedly as he watched.
“That’s Ye Yunfei right there. He’s only a Perfected True Immortal. Let's all attack together! If we can kill him, it would be a great merit!” At this moment, dozens of Dark Faction True Immortals had their eyes set on Ye Yunfei. One Perfected True Immortal amongst them shouted.
Kill!
The next instant, these Dark Faction True Immortals charged towards Ye Yunfei from all directions.
“Master, let me handle these small-fry,” Hu Miao said with a laugh.
Hu Miao then appeared beside Ye Yunfei and unleashed her illusion techniques. Densely-packed illusion glyphs surged towards those Dark Faction True Immortals.
The Dark Faction True Immortals immediately fell into various illusionary realms, stopping in their tracks, their faces revealing all sorts of bizarre expressions.
Whoosh whoosh...
The Vampire Clone appeared, activated its blood-control secret technique, and in one go, extracted all the essential blood essence from these True Immortals' bodies, swallowing it into its mouth.
Creepy Creepy...
Huang Shang also appeared, letting out sinister-sounding chuckles. With a wave of his hand, he forced the Soul Bodies of over a dozen True Immortals to surge out from their Soul Seas, then swallowed them all in one gulp.
“I need a large batch of Soul Bodies to aid my cultivation right now. The Soul Bodies of all these guys shall belong to me,” Huang Shang said with a smile.
“If you need them, take them all,” Ye Yunfei said.
A short time later.
All the Dark Faction personnel within this nest had been killed, leaving not a single one.
Just like that, Ye Yunfei once again led the 35th Battalion to wipe out another Dark Faction nest.
And this time, it didn't even require Ye Yunfei to utilize his Geomancy Technique! Ye Yunfei himself hadn't even needed to attack!
This proved that the 35th Battalion's strength had gained a tremendous increase!
In the time that followed, Ye Yunfei led the forces of the 35th Battalion to move stealthily, destroying one Dark Faction nest after another at a shocking speed.
Whenever they encountered Advanced Earth Immortals of the Dark Faction, Ye Yunfei would directly deploy his instant formation-casting technique, throwing out over a hundred powerful Formations towards the enemy all at once.
After being trapped by Ye Yunfei's Formations, any Advanced Earth Immortal of the Dark Faction simply could not possibly break out of the formation array in a short amount of time.
