"This time, it is a true world-destroying war, a conflict that will completely wipe out this span of space-time," Ye Yunfei said slowly.
"This isn't a war at all; it's one-sided slaughter," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm appeared on Ye Yunfei's shoulder and said, curling its lips dismissively.
"Yes, it's slaughter. It can barely be considered a war," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Let's go check on the branch offices of the Reincarnation Palace," Ye Yunfei thought of the Reincarnation Palace's branch locations.
The Reincarnation Palace was a major power in the Main World, with many branch offices and strongholds distributed throughout both the Main World and the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
Although the Reincarnation Palace's headquarters had been destroyed, some of its branch offices and strongholds might still exist.
Ye Yunfei immediately activated his Space Teleportation Token, teleporting towards one of the Reincarnation Palace's branch offices.
Ye Yunfei had previously led groups comprised of personnel from various Reincarnation Palace branch strongholds in the Main World to deal with several other major powers, so he was very familiar with the locations of all the Reincarnation Palace's branch strongholds in the Main World.
Soon after, Ye Yunfei arrived at the location of one of the Reincarnation Palace's branch strongholds.
This particular branch stronghold of the Reincarnation Palace was located within a Small World.
"This branch stronghold of the Reincarnation Palace has already been destroyed," Ye Yunfei stood at the entrance to this Small World, sending in his Soul Power senses. He couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.
Ye Yunfei then activated his Space Teleportation Token again, teleporting to another branch stronghold of the Reincarnation Palace.
This Reincarnation Palace branch stronghold was in a comparatively larger-sized world.
This world was quite prosperous, with forces from many major powers stationed there.
When Ye Yunfei entered this world, he found that it had not yet suffered an attack by the Dark Faction.
Ye Yunfei went directly to the branch's headquarters.
It was a very bustling major city.
Ye Yunfei landed within the city and walked directly into the City Lord's residence.
"Young Master Ye! You've come!" Just as Ye Yunfei walked into the residence, two elders appeared and blocked the path. They were initially about to shout a rebuke but immediately recognized Ye Yunfei.
They were two ordinary elders of the Reincarnation Palace, both Low-Level Earth Immortals.
"Young Master Ye, our Reincarnation Palace headquarters has already been destroyed by the Dark Faction!" one of the elders said, his voice brimming with grief and indignation.
"A while back, the Dark Faction's army suddenly entered the Main World and started indiscriminately attacking every single faction.
The two of us were sent out by the Patriarch to gather information.
While we were out, the Dark Faction's army suddenly launched an attack on our Reincarnation Palace headquarters.
By the time we received the news and rushed back, we found the headquarters reduced to a wasteland.
The Dark Faction is too cruel and brutal. Not a single person survived at headquarters!
Later, the two of us were discovered by the Dark Faction and were hunted everywhere until we finally ended up taking refuge in this branch stronghold," the other elder spoke, his eyes red, his tone filled with sorrow.
"When you two went back to headquarters, there really wasn't anyone alive at all? Did you hear any news about Qing Luo? Is Qing Luo alive or dead?" Ye Yunfei immediately asked.
"Young Master Ye, when the two of us returned to the headquarters, there wasn't a single surviving member of our Reincarnation Palace left. There was only a contingent of Dark Faction members stationed inside. So I don't know what has become of Palace Master Su either," one of the elders answered.
"However, I feel the Palace Master shouldn't have fallen so easily. Within our Reincarnation Palace, both the Patriarch and the Palace Master have cultivated the Great Reincarnation Art beyond the seventh layer. The Palace Master has even previously undergone Samsara reincarnation, entering other worlds to reincarnate and cultivate anew.
If the Palace Master were truly in mortal danger, she could perform the art of reincarnated cultivation within the Great Reincarnation Art, entering the Samsara Passage. She could then be reborn in another world," the other elder thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Reincarnated cultivation?" Upon hearing this elder's words, Ye Yunfei was somewhat taken aback.
However, as soon as Ye Yunfei thought about how his own life in this cycle was essentially a case of reincarnated cultivation as well, he decided it wasn't that strange.
"I can only hope Qing Luo is safe," Ye Yunfei said softly.
After all, since he hadn't personally witnessed Su Qingluo's final outcome in that battle, the worry in Ye Yunfei's heart remained firmly lodged there.
"Young Master Ye, our Reincarnation Palace's headquarters has been destroyed. The Patriarch, the Palace Master, and other senior members are all missing with their fates unknown.
Now, the Reincarnation Palace only has a few branch offices and strongholds left.
Moreover, the Dark Faction is currently slaughtering indiscriminately all over the Main World, having already wiped out many worlds. It's inevitable that our various branch offices and strongholds of the Reincarnation Palace will also suffer attacks from the Dark Faction before long.
In short, our Reincarnation Palace is in a very dire situation now. The slightest misstep could lead to our complete extinction," Both elders wore deeply worried expressions.
"So, what do you plan to do?" Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and then asked.
"We plan to first gather all remaining members of the Reincarnation Palace, then decide on our next move," one elder answered.
"Young Master Ye, I have a request.
Now that both our Patriarch and Palace Master have gone missing, and the fate of the other senior members from headquarters is similarly unknown, the Reincarnation Palace is currently like a ship without a captain.
Young Master Ye, after I gather all the Reincarnation Palace's personnel, I intend for them to follow you," the other elder looked at Ye Yunfei and suddenly spoke.
"Follow me?" Hearing this elder's words, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but be startled.
"Young Master Ye, you once led our Reincarnation Palace personnel in battle within the Main World in the past. Our people all deeply admire your strength.
Moreover, you are also very familiar with our Palace Master Su.
I think that it would be the best choice for our Reincarnation Palace's people if they could follow you," the elder continued.
Both Reincarnation Palace elders looked at Ye Yunfei, awaiting his response.
"Very well, then," Ye Yunfei thought for a moment before nodding in agreement.
Su Qingluo was the Palace Master of the Reincarnation Palace, and with her current whereabouts unknown, Ye Yunfei felt that taking care of these Reincarnation Palace survivors was the least he could do.
"Thank you, Young Master Ye!" Both Reincarnation Palace elders were overjoyed.
"Alright then. I'll have someone go with you to gather all the Reincarnation Palace's personnel, then come meet up with me.
I have some matters to attend to first and need to leave the Main World for a while," Ye Yunfei said.
"Also, keep your ears open for any news concerning your Reincarnation Palace headquarters' senior members. It would be best to send people to investigate whether they are dead or alive.
Especially any news about Qing Luo.
Report to me immediately the moment you receive any news of Qing Luo," Ye Yunfei added.
Having said that, Ye Yunfei instructed the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm to come out from within the Illusionary Tower.
"I knew you'd send me off on messenger duty," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said.
"Your fleeing skills are top-notch, making you the most suitable for the task. Even if you encounter a Dark Faction expert you cannot defeat, you can easily escape, making it the safer option," Ye Yunfei said with a slight smile.
