"Why? Master, are you looking for the Great Strength Demon God's whereabouts?"
The little boy asked.
"The Great Strength Demon God was a top-tier expert of the Great Strength Divine Palace and deeply favored by Great Strength Old Man. If this lad is truly the Great Strength Demon God's heir, showing some goodwill might give me a chance to befriend the Great Strength Demon God in the future."
The old man chuckled.
"The Great Strength Demon God has disappeared for so long; there are rumors he most likely has fallen. If that's the case, even if this lad is the Great Strength Demon God's heir, befriending him wouldn't be of much use."
The little boy pouted.
"If the Great Strength Demon God has already fallen, then this lad must have come across the Great Strength Demon God's heritage by chance. The Great Strength Demon God's heritage is incredibly precious; perhaps we can borrow it for reference."
The old man's expression grew slightly colder as he spoke to this point.
The little boy understood his master's meaning and asked no more.
"Commander Ye, it seems the Dark Faction has already launched a full-scale offensive. The situation for our Light Faction is not good."
At this moment, Commander Lü arrived before Ye Yunfei and spoke, his tone grave.
"Yes. The situation doesn't look optimistic! We cannot just wait here. We must immediately muster our troops and rush to support the other battalions."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Hehe, truly, heroes emerge from among the young. I never imagined someone in this expanse of space and time could cultivate their physical body to such an extent. Young man, you are truly remarkable."
Just then, a light laugh rang out. An old man and a boy walked towards Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei couldn't help but be shocked. He hadn't noticed when this old man and boy had arrived!
"This old fellow must be an extremely terrifyingly strong expert! Be careful!"
Hun Lao immediately transmitted a sound warning to Ye Yunfei.
"Hehe, young man, there's no need to be tense. This old man harbors no ill intentions. It's just that I saw how you cultivated your physical body to such a level at such a young age and felt a desire to get to know you. I've always had a fondness for befriending young geniuses. As they say, each generation produces its own talent; this world will ultimately belong to you young ones sooner or later."
The old man appeared quite amiable as he spoke.
"You flatter me, Senior. May I ask for your distinguished name?"
Ye Yunfei was filled with vigilance as he perceived the old man before him. Because he found that he actually couldn't perceive the old man's true strength. He only felt that the man was as profound as the deep sea. Though he stood there looking calm and unconcerned, not emitting any particularly startling energy aura, the space around him gently rippled, its structure extremely unstable. It seemed that a slight movement from this old man could annihilate vast stretches of time and space.
"Hehe, this old man is but a carefree drifter of little renown, not worth mentioning. Young man, I wish to ask you about an ancient powerful expert."
The old man replied with a smile.
"Ask me about an ancient powerful expert?"
Ye Yunfei was taken aback.
"Yes. Young man, do you know of the Great Strength Demon God?"
The old man asked.
"The Great Strength Demon God!"
Upon hearing the old man's words, Ye Yunfei's expression subtly changed.
"How does he know about Senior Great Strength Demon God?"
Ye Yunfei grew even more cautious inside. After all, the Great Strength Demon God was an ancient powerful expert; very few knew of him nowadays. Furthermore, those who knew of Ye Yunfei encountering the Great Strength Demon God within that ancient god's ruins in the Tianpo Realm were extremely few, limited to only those closely connected to Ye Yunfei. Yet, this old man before him had directly called out the Great Strength Demon God's title, clearly indicating he knew Ye Yunfei was related to the Great Strength Demon God!
"Who is this fellow? He actually knows you are acquainted with the Great Strength Demon God?"
Hun Lao was also shocked.
"Don't admit it! The Great Strength Demon God has already fallen. This old fellow's origins are unknown. If he bears a grudge against the Great Strength Demon God and learns that you've obtained his heritage, there'll be big trouble!"
Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei via sound transmission.
"That's sensible!"
Ye Yunfei nodded, agreeing with Hun Lao. This old man's origins were unknown; it was best he didn't admit to knowing the Great Strength Demon God.
"Senior, I am not familiar with the Great Strength Demon God you speak of."
Ye Yunfei answered.
Though Ye Yunfei had exchanged thoughts with Hun Lao via sound transmission before answering, the process was extremely fast, almost instantaneous.
"Oh? Not familiar? Young man, I saw the physical strength you displayed earlier; its style somewhat resembled that of the Great Strength Demon God, which is why I came to ask. Young man, think carefully. Are you truly unfamiliar with the Great Strength Demon God?"
The old man paused briefly, then asked again.
"Senior, I truly do not know the Great Strength Demon God."
Ye Yunfei replied.
At that moment, Ye Yunfei's expression suddenly moved. He took out a communication jade slip. This jade slip had been given to him earlier by Old Man Chu and was specially made by him.
"The situation is dire and extremely urgent! The Dark Faction is attacking on all fronts, dispatching large forces to simultaneously assault all Thirty-Six Battalions! Meanwhile, several Sovereigns of the Dark Faction are leading their main armies to besiege our Light Faction headquarters! Ye Yunfei, starting now, you are to immediately lead the troops of the Thirty-Fifth Battalion and rush to support the other battalions! Gather as many of our Light Faction's personnel from the various battalions as possible and take unified command!"
As Ye Yunfei sent his Soul Power perception into the jade slip, he heard Old Man Chu's voice.
Ye Yunfei immediately relayed Old Man Chu's words via sound transmission to Commander Lü and the elders of the two battalions.
"Commander Ye, this is Elder Chu's order! From now on, our Thirty-Sixth Battalion's troops will follow you and be under your command!"
Before Ye Yunfei could speak, Commander Lü transmitted a sound message to Ye Yunfei. In the past, as a senior, he might not have willingly followed a junior's command, but now he had witnessed Ye Yunfei's strength and knew this young man before him far surpassed him. Moreover, the Thirty-Sixth Battalion had nearly been wiped out today, fortunately Ye Yunfei had arrived in time. Now, having the chance to follow Ye Yunfei, they would at least be much safer in the coming period.
"Good, we must not delay. Let's hurry to gather the personnel from the other battalions."
Ye Yunfei knew the current situation was critically dangerous for the Light Faction. They couldn't afford to wait a moment.
"Senior, my apologies. I have urgent matters to attend to now."
Ye Yunfei spoke to the old man with a relatively polite tone. This old man of unknown origin had an aura as deep and profound as the sea. Ye Yunfei simply couldn't see through his true strength and knew he must be a terrifyingly powerful expert. Thus, he aimed to be as courteous as possible, not wanting to offend him.
"Hehe, no problem, young man. You go ahead and attend to your matters. When you have time later, we can chat properly. I look forward to exchanging insights with a young genius like you."
The old man appeared very enthusiastic as he replied.
"Relay the orders! Have the troops of both battalions assemble immediately! We move out at once!"
With Ye Yunfei's command, the personnel of the Thirty-Fifth and Thirty-Sixth Battalions swiftly began to gather.
