Upon hearing the scout's report, all the upper echelon of the Light Faction immediately rose to their feet, their faces turning even more grim.
"It seems the Dark Faction is preparing to move against us! This, however, is also something we anticipated."
Old Man Chu said slowly.
"It's strange. This base of ours has always been extremely concealed. Before it was activated, only we core members of the upper echelon knew of it.
Moreover, we have deployed numerous Concealment Formations, Barrier Formations, and Illusion Formations at the entrances and exits. How could the Dark Faction discover it so quickly?"
One of the high-ranking members frowned and said.
"There are two possibilities.
First, scouts of the Dark Faction discovered our trail.
Second, within our Light Faction..."
Chan Master Tianwu suddenly said coldly.
Upon hearing Chan Master Tianwu's words, all the higher-ups present felt their hearts sink, understanding his implication.
There might be a traitor within the Light Faction!
At this moment, Ye Yunfei immediately released his Soul Power energy, quietly sensing each high-ranking member in the hall and observing their every subtle expression.
In fact, Old Man Chu and Chan Master Tianwu had long suspected that there was a traitor within the Light Faction, and it was likely someone among the upper echelon!
However, up until now, they had yet to identify that traitor.
"Report!
We've just received news that a Dark Faction army has entered the Main World, reportedly heading to deal with the Reincarnation Palace!
This Dark Faction army has at least over two hundred Earth Immortal experts!"
At that moment, another scout rushed into the hall and reported loudly.
During this period, the Light Faction had dispatched all their scouts to closely monitor every movement of the Dark Faction armies, so scouts kept returning to report various messages.
Upon hearing this scout's report, everyone's gaze turned towards Ye Yunfei.
Because everyone knew about Ye Yunfei's relationship with the Reincarnation Palace.
"What?
The Dark Faction is going to attack the Reincarnation Palace?!"
Ye Yunfei couldn't help but be shocked upon hearing this.
"I must tell Qing Luo."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and spoke.
Ye Yunfei knew that once Su Qingluo learned of this news, she would definitely rush back to the Reincarnation Palace, as she was its master.
Of course, Ye Yunfei did not want Su Qingluo to return and take such a risk, but if he didn't tell her and something happened to the Reincarnation Palace, she probably wouldn't forgive him.
Thus, Ye Yunfei immediately transported Su Qingluo out of the Shadow Tower and told her the news.
"I must return immediately!"
Sure enough, after learning the news, Su Qingluo became extremely anxious and spoke immediately.
"Qing Luo, I'll accompany you back."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and said.
Ye Yunfei did not want Su Qingluo to return alone and face the danger.
Given the Reincarnation Palace's strength, they certainly could not handle a Dark Faction army with over two hundred Earth Immortals. So, Su Qingluo's return this time was fraught with extreme peril.
"Seniors, our Light Faction's forces can no longer stay in this base.
Immediately gather all our members. I will take everyone away from here. If we wait any longer, it will be too late."
Ye Yunfei said to Old Man Chu and the others.
"This base is already exposed. Our Light Faction members can no longer remain here. Very well, pass the order! Have everyone assemble immediately and prepare to depart!"
Old Man Chu nodded and spoke loudly.
Old Man Chu knew that Ye Yunfei possessed a teleportation treasure capable of transporting across vast distances.
"Senior Chu, after we leave this base, where will we go to take shelter?"
One of the high-ranking members looked at Old Man Chu and asked.
Hearing this question, many other upper echelon members also turned inquiring looks toward Old Man Chu.
"Don't ask now. You'll know naturally when the time comes."
Old Man Chu replied.
Upon hearing Old Man Chu's words, everyone instantly understood why he was unwilling to say.
Because Old Man Chu suspected there was a traitor in the Light Faction!
Therefore, Old Man Chu temporarily did not want to reveal where the Light Faction's forces were headed.
"Alright, start packing up now. The faster, the better."
Old Man Chu raised his voice and said.
At Old Man Chu's command, all members of the Light Faction within this base immediately assembled.
Su Qingluo also gathered the members of the Reincarnation Palace.
When Su Qingluo left the Reincarnation Palace with Ye Yunfei, she had brought out a group of members to support the Light Faction. In the previous battle, the Reincarnation Palace members had joined the twenty-eight battalions to form the War Formation together, so their casualties were not too severe.
Moments later, all members of the Light Faction had assembled and stood before Old Man Chu and the other upper echelon.
Then, Old Man Chu and Chan Master Tianwu led everyone into the Shadow Tower.
"Senior Chu, where are we going now? I'll send you there, and then I need to accompany Qing Luo back to the Main World."
Ye Yunfei transmitted his voice to Old Man Chu and asked.
"I'll transmit a spatial coordinate to you now. Teleport to this location."
Old Man Chu replied, simultaneously sending a spatial coordinate to Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei input this spatial coordinate into the Space Teleportation Plate, activated it directly, and teleported away from this base.
Not long after Ye Yunfei teleported away with the Light Faction's forces, within the Chaotic Void outside this base, a Dark Faction army surged forth menacingly. The pressure of energy they released shook the entire expanse of the void, causing it to tremble.
"It's here!"
A black-robed figure walked at the head of the army, arriving outside the Light Faction's base. With a wave of his hand, he halted the army.
If Ye Yunfei were here, he would immediately recognize this black-robed man as a Venerable Lord of the Dark Faction.
This Venerable Lord took out a handful of black formation flags and continuously threw them forward, embedding them into the space.
Boom…
Soon after, at a certain location ahead, a series of formations began to emerge continuously, followed by the appearance of a world's entrance—exactly the entrance to the Light Faction's base.
"Break for me!"
The Venerable Lord roared. He threw out another batch of formation flags that continuously expanded, transforming into large, black banners that bombarded the formations at the base's entrance.
Before long, all the formations at the entrance were destroyed.
"Move in!"
The Venerable Lord waved his hand and led the Dark Faction army charging in grandly.
However, when the Dark Faction army entered the base, they found it completely empty, without a single soul in sight.
"Damn it! These Light Faction bastards are really well-informed! They actually got wind of our arrival and slipped away in advance!"
The Venerable Lord was somewhat furious and roared in anger.
"Lord Venerable, you've come a step too late.
Old Man Chu led the Light Faction's forces away just moments ago."
Just as the Venerable Lord was roaring, an elderly man quietly appeared, standing in the distant space. He respectfully bowed to the Venerable Lord and said.
"So it's you, Elder Feng.
Why didn't you report earlier, causing me to waste this trip?
Tell me immediately where the Light Faction's forces have fled to! I will lead the army to find them right away!"
The Venerable Lord demanded.
It turned out this Elder Feng was a high-ranking member of the Light Faction who had long secretly pledged allegiance to the Dark Faction. His usual contacts were several Venerable Lords of the Dark Faction!
"Reporting to Lord Venerable, I do not know where they have gone.
Old Man Chu already suspects there is a traitor among the Light Faction's upper echelon, so their movements are extremely secretive. Until the destination is reached, no one is willing to say.
However, Lord Venerable, you need not worry. My main body is traveling with them. Once they reach the destination, my main body will naturally find a way to report the Light Faction's location to you."
Elder Feng said.
"Very well. Report to me immediately once there is any news!
Let's go!"
The Venerable Lord nodded, waved his hand, and led the Dark Faction army away from the base in grand fashion.
"Heh heh, people aspire to climb higher, water flows to lower grounds. Old Man Chu, I hope you don't blame me. The Dark Faction is destined to annihilate the Light Faction and then extinguish all living beings in this space-time.
Several Venerable Lords of the Dark Faction have promised to take me away from this space-time to other, more advanced space-times outside. So, I had no choice but to betray the Light Faction."
Elder Feng watched the Dark Faction army leave the base and murmured softly.
Then, Elder Feng also quietly left the base. He had left this clone here specifically to report the Light Faction's movements to the Dark Faction.
After Elder Feng's clone departed the base, a figure emerged from a hidden corner within the base, staring in the direction Elder Feng had left.
It was precisely Ye Yunfei!
"So he is the traitor."
Ye Yunfei said coldly.
This was a Decoy Double Image Ye Yunfei had left behind!
