"I'll send the message!"
Another figure immediately produced a message jade slip and sent out a transmission.
Soon after, Su Qingluo left the Main World and entered the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
At the same time.
In the chaotic void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, the Dark Faction was searching for Ye Yunfei's whereabouts, especially the seven Perfected Earth Immortals.
However, despite sending out a large number of experts to search the chaotic void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds repeatedly for several passes, four or five days had passed, and they still couldn't find any trace of Ye Yunfei.
"Where on earth is that boy hiding?
He seems to have vanished into thin air!"
In a hall at the 26th Battalion's base, the seven Perfected Earth Immortals of the Dark Faction had just returned, each of them wearing expressions of fury.
Commander Cang of the 26th Battalion and all the leaders of the battalion were present, carefully attending to these seven Dark Faction experts.
The 26th Battalion's base was now territory of the Dark Faction. This world was not only garrisoned by the 26th Battalion's forces, but also by a large number of Dark Faction troops and several Dark Faction Earth Immortal experts.
"With our level of strength, we actually can't sense any aura of that brat!
How is that possible!"
A man in black robes said.
"I suspect that brat must have cultivated some high-level concealment technique or possesses a treasure that can hide his aura,"
another black-robed figure speculated.
"Then how do we find him next?
The command from the Ancestor is clear: we must see the man alive or his corpse.
If we return empty-handed, we cannot bear the Ancestor's wrath."
Yet another black-robed person said.
"Esteemed Lords, I have a method to lure Ye Yunfei out."
Just then, an old man in black robes who was standing respectfully to the side suddenly spoke up.
This black-robed elder was a high-ranking officer of the 26th Battalion, surnamed Gao.
Elder Gao was one of the earliest in the 26th Battalion to defect to the Dark Faction. He had proactively revealed information about the close relatives, clan members, sects, and friends of all the 26th Battalion's high-ranking members to the Dark Faction. The Dark Faction had secretly dispatched people to capture all these closely related individuals, using them to coerce and eventually force the 26th Battalion's betrayal of the Light Faction.
"What method?"
A black-robed figure glanced at Elder Gao and asked.
"Ye Yunfei is the commander of the Light Faction's 35th Battalion. He is someone who values face and fiercely protects his own. We can use the members of the 35th Battalion to lure Ye Yunfei out.
The specific approach is this: first, we locate the 35th Battalion's whereabouts, then dispatch a large force to surround them, and spread the news. If Ye Yunfei receives word, he will surely come to their rescue."
Elder Gao explained.
"Finding Ye Yunfei himself might be difficult, but finding the 35th Battalion should not be hard."
Elder Gao added.
"That makes sense!
Finding that brat Ye Yunfei might be tough, but finding a single battalion of the Light Faction is much easier.
Now that the Light Faction's headquarters is besieged by our Dark Faction's main army, when we encircle the 35th Battalion's forces, no one will be able to rescue them!
We can just wait quietly for Ye Yunfei to come to the rescue!"
Hearing Elder Gao's words, the seven Dark Faction Perfected Earth Immortals all nodded in agreement. One of them spoke up.
"Hmm, very good. It seems you are very loyal to our Dark Faction. Don't worry, we will nurture you from now on.
In my opinion, you already have the sufficient capability to be the commander of this 26th Battalion!"
This Dark Faction expert added, deliberately or inadvertently glancing at Commander Cang.
Recently, Commander Cang had been sullen and unenthusiastic in all his actions. These Dark Faction experts had long held grievances against him.
Commander Cang sighed inwardly but pretended not to notice.
In truth, ever since betraying the Light Faction, Commander Cang had carried a deep sense of guilt in his heart.
Commander Cang had participated in the last World-Destroying War, fought alongside many friends from the Light Faction, and watched helplessly as many comrades fell before his eyes to the enemy. Those memories were etched deeply.
He had always regarded the Dark Faction as the enemy. Now, suddenly having to serve them was difficult to accept.
However, a large number of people he cared for and wanted to protect were in the hands of the Dark Faction. If he did not obey their orders, the consequences would be dire; likely, all those close to him would lose their lives!
"Thank you for your cultivation, my Lord!"
Upon hearing the Dark Faction expert's words, Elder Gao was overjoyed and hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
He knew the seven Dark Faction Perfected Earth Immortals before him held high status within the Dark Faction. If they favored him, his future within the faction would be smooth, allowing him to have opportunities on both sides.
"Good! Immediately send people out to find the whereabouts of the Light Faction's 35th Battalion as quickly as possible! Then dispatch a force to surround all the members of the 35th Battalion and spread the news that our Dark Faction intends to completely annihilate the 35th Battalion!"
The Dark Faction expert declared loudly.
Several Dark Faction Earth Immortal experts immediately went to carry out the orders.
"Oh, by the way, my Lord, it's possible the 35th Battalion is together with nine other battalions of the Light Faction, because in the last battlefield engagement, ten Light Faction battalions were grouped together."
Elder Gao said.
"That doesn't matter. The more, the better. It would be best to scoop them all up in one go!"
The Dark Faction expert said coldly.
At the same time.
In the chaotic void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
Su Qingluo stood at a certain point in the void, with over a dozen scouts from the Reincarnation Palace standing before her.
"Report, Palace Lord, we have been searching for Ye Yunfei's whereabouts during this time, but have made no discoveries for now."
A scout reported.
"However, we have located the Light Faction's 35th Battalion. Ye Yunfei is the commander of the 35th Battalion.
The 35th Battalion is currently together with nine other battalions of the Light Faction."
The scout continued.
"Oh, he is the commander of the 35th Battalion?"
Upon hearing this, Su Qingluo's interest was immediately piqued.
"Yes. Ye Yunfei has been the commander of the Light Faction's 35th Battalion for some time now.
He previously led the forces of the 35th Battalion to destroy over a dozen Dark Faction nests in succession."
The scout replied.
"That sounds like his style."
Su Qingluo nodded. The corner of her mouth, on a face typically full of authority, couldn't help but curl upwards slightly, revealing a hint of a smile.
"The Palace Lord seems to hold Ye Yunfei in high regard."
The Reincarnation Palace scouts inwardly marveled at this rare sight of their usually dignified Palace Lord Su suddenly smiling.
"Palace Lord Su, we also have intelligence that the 35th Battalion and the other nine Light Faction battalions have already caught the attention of the Dark Faction. We spotted Dark Faction scouts active in the vicinity."
The scout who had spoken earlier spoke up again.
