Soon, Ye Yunfei saw several scenes. The originally peaceful headquarters of the Reincarnation Palace was suddenly invaded by a massive army of the Dark Faction, vast and mighty like a boundless black ocean.
The vanguard was led by over a hundred Earth Immortals of the Dark Faction. Wherever they went, they swept through with devastating force. The members of the Reincarnation Palace fell in great numbers. Then the Reincarnation Patriarch and all the high-ranking members of the Reincarnation Palace appeared, leading their forces to engage the Dark Faction army in battle.
However, the strength of the Dark Faction army was simply too great. They quickly forced the Reincarnation Palace forces into a relentless retreat, leaving them with little ability to fight back.
Then Ye Yunfei saw the scene of Su Qingluo's battle. At least a dozen or more Dark Faction Earth Immortals were besieging her simultaneously. Even under such conditions, Su Qingluo fought valiantly and spectacularly, displaying astonishing combat prowess.
But a moment later, another seven or eight Perfected Earth Immortals of the Dark Faction joined the siege, bringing the total to over twenty Dark Faction Earth Immortals attacking Su Qingluo together, nearly half of them being Perfected Earth Immortals!
Faced with such overwhelming force, Su Qingluo finally began to struggle, finding it increasingly difficult to hold on.
Watching these battle scenes unfold, seeing Su Qingluo starting to get injured in the images, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but clench his fists. Amidst his worry, a towering rage blazed within his heart.
With a loud bang, the Su Qingluo in the scene was struck by a combined attack from over a dozen Dark Faction Earth Immortals. She spat blood and was sent flying backwards, her exquisite figure now stained with blood. Her aura instantly weakened considerably.
Then Ye Yunfei saw the twenty-some Dark Faction Earth Immortals close in on her, simultaneously launching another terrifying combined strike.
Seeing this, Ye Yunfei let out a shocked cry, the veins on his fists bulging. He wished he could rush into the scene immediately to help.
But at that very moment, the scenes abruptly cut off and vanished completely.
Ye Yunfei immediately attempted the secret art of temporal tracing once more. But no matter how hard he tried this time, those vanished scenes did not reappear.
"The combined power unleashed by those twenty-odd Dark Faction Earth Immortals disrupted the spacetime of that area, shattering space and throwing time into chaos. That's why you can no longer trace what happened in that space at that time," Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei after roughly half an hour, seeing that Ye Yunfei still couldn't reproduce the earlier scenes.
"I'll try one more time," Ye Yunfei said, extremely anxious over Su Qingluo's safety.
"What exactly happened to Qing Luo!" Ye Yunfei's hands continuously formed one hand seal after another related to the laws of time and space, his heart consumed by extreme anxiety. Yet it was still useless; he couldn't trace any further events.
It wasn't until a full hour later that Ye Yunfei finally gave up. He stood suspended above a patch of ruins, his eyes bloodshot.
"The Dark Faction!"
"I swear, as long as I live, I will one day destroy this faction!
"No matter where its roots lie, I will tear it out completely, utterly annihilating all the Dark Faction in this world!"
After a long silence, Ye Yunfei spat out each word through gritted teeth.
Next, Ye Yunfei activated his movement technique and swiftly searched every corner of this world. But there were no living beings left; they had all been slaughtered cleanly.
Ye Yunfei also had Huang Shang perform several advanced spirit-summoning secret arts, hoping to call forth any residual soul bodies or soul fragments from this world for questioning. But not a single fragment of a soul body remained.
"The Resource Collection Envoys of the Dark Faction have definitely been here already. All the soul fragments have been harvested," Huang Shang said helplessly.
"Is it possible that everyone from the Reincarnation Palace has already been killed?" Ye Yunfei stood in the skies above this world, surveying the ravaged land, and slowly spoke.
"Your woman isn't necessarily dead," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm suddenly said to Ye Yunfei. "I sent out a batch of poisonous insects earlier to carefully inspect all the corpses and scattered flesh in this world, and I did not detect your woman's aura.
If your woman had truly perished, any residual fragment, no matter how small, would carry her aura."
Hearing the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm's words, Ye Yunfei felt a slight sense of relief. But he had just witnessed Su Qingluo being severely injured, and then over twenty Dark Faction Earth Immortals launching a terrifying combined attack simultaneously. In her grievously injured state, Su Qingluo would have had almost no chance of resisting such an assault.
"We should leave this place. Otherwise, the Dark Ancestor will soon trace us here," the middle-aged man said to Ye Yunfei.
He had been silently accompanying Ye Yunfei all this time.
"Alright, let's go," Ye Yunfei knew staying here was pointless. He nodded, retrieved a Space Teleportation Token, activated it directly, and teleported away from this world.
The next moment, Ye Yunfei and the middle-aged man appeared within the starry expanse of the Main World.
"Dark Ancestor! Our Mysterious Azure Sect and your Dark Faction are supposed to be allies! Why are you attacking us?"
Ye Yunfei heard an angry, questioning shout coming from the distance.
The Dark Ancestor!
Both Ye Yunfei and the middle-aged man were somewhat startled upon hearing that voice.
"It should be another Clone of the Dark Ancestor, not the one that was chasing you earlier. This Clone's strength is slightly weaker," Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei.
"Yes, I sense that too," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"It seems the Dark Ancestor has dispatched many Clones. Even though they are merely Clones, for the beings of this region of spacetime, they are terrifying existences nonetheless," Ye Yunfei remarked.
He discovered that many worlds within the Main World were under attack by the Dark Faction, including major forces like the Mysterious Azure Sect and the Tongtian Sect.
The forces of the Dark Faction swept across this vast world like tidal waves of blackness. Wherever they passed, the wails of anguish were deafening, a chorus of misery.
"Let's go seek refuge with the Light Faction immediately!
Only the Light Faction can oppose the Dark Faction, only they can save us!"
Within the starry expanse of the Main World, many beings fleeing the Dark Faction recalled the Light Faction and shouted.
"You only remember our Light Faction now, but it's already too late."
Using his Soul Power, Ye Yunfei perceived those fleeing beings in the distant starry sky. His expression was indifferent as he shook his head and sighed.
"Will this region of spacetime truly be destroyed by the Dark Faction?"
Looking at the Dark Faction forces spreading like swarms of black locusts, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but feel a deep sorrow rising within him.
This region of spacetime was now utterly shrouded under the tyranny of the Dark Faction. During this period, countless innocent beings had already suffered brutal slaughter.
