"Then you join the battle here first. After we eliminate these Xiao Family members, go reinforce Elder Zhongwen and the others," said the Zhan Family's Intermediate Demigod.
After speaking, he stopped paying attention to Zhan Jun and instead turned to look at the now-surrounded Xiao Family forces.
Of course, at this moment, Zhan Jun was completely under Ye Yunfei's control, essentially a puppet of Ye Yunfei.
"One is not enough. I'll control a few more Zhan Family members," Ye Yunfei thought to himself. Though he was inside the Phantom Tower, his perception of the outside was crystal clear, and he had already set his sights on several Zhan Family Completion Heavenly Immortals.
With his current level of Soul Power, the strongest beings he could control using the Soul Force Star Method were Completion Heavenly Immortals. He could not yet control Demigods.
Slay!
The battle between the two clans had already erupted.
Both sides were brimming with fighting spirit, charging at each other with full force.
Although the Xiao Family was outnumbered, their headquarters had been occupied, and they had been hunted down and forced to hide everywhere during this period, their hearts were full of resentment. Now, it seemed to erupt all at once, each of them fighting desperately.
Even though the Zhan Family had the advantage in numbers and many Warbeasts, they could not quickly defeat the Xiao Family immediately.
However, everyone knew that as time passed, the Zhan Family would inevitably gain the upper hand.
Seeing that both sides had already begun fighting, Ye Yunfei immediately activated the Soul Force Star Method. Four Soul Force Planets, accompanied by a Soul Sword, instantly attacked the soul sea of a Zhan Family Completion Heavenly Immortal.
This Zhan Family Completion Heavenly Immortal possessed solid strength and a comparatively sophisticated Beast Taming Art, but his Soul Power energy was utterly ordinary. Faced with the simultaneous attack from four Soul Force Planets and the Soul Sword, he simply could not resist. In a brief moment, his Soul Body was devoured, completely falling under Ye Yunfei's control.
Next, Ye Yunfei continuously deployed the Soul Force Star Method, devouring three more Zhan Family Completion Heavenly Immortals in one go.
"With my current Soul Power level, I should be able to cultivate at least six or seven Soul Force Planets. When I have time, I must cultivate a few more," Ye Yunfei thought, realizing just how useful these cultivated Soul Force Planets were. They could not only be used as Soul Force Martial Arts to launch soul attacks but could also be used to control the Soul Bodies of other beings.
After controlling four Zhan Family Completion Heavenly Immortals, all of their Warbeasts also became Ye Yunfei's property. Moreover, all the Beast Taming Arts they had cultivated throughout their lives also became Ye Yunfei's!
Ye Yunfei's current Beast Taming proficiency was already equivalent to that of a Zhan Family Completion Heavenly Immortal.
"The Soul Force Star Method secret art is truly terrifying!
Not only can it control an opponent's Soul Body, but it can also obtain everything about the opponent, including the cultivation techniques and secret arts they have painstakingly practiced!
With such a heaven-defying technique, logically speaking, the Soul Race should be among the most powerful races in the entire Chaotic Void Sea!
But strangely, why are Soul Race members so rare in the Chaotic Void Sea?" Hun Lao suddenly spoke.
"That's right.
The Soul Force Star Method is indeed an immensely heaven-defying cultivation technique. If the Soul Race possessed such a technique and developed normally, they would certainly become one of the strongest races in the Chaotic Void Sea.
But in reality, the Soul Race is an exceedingly rare race in the Chaotic Void Sea, scarce in number, even difficult to encounter.
Why is that exactly?" Ye Yunfei echoed Hun Lao's words, equally puzzled.
Having cultivated the Soul Force Star Method himself, Ye Yunfei deeply understood its strangeness and fearsomeness.
One had to know that at its highest level, the Soul Force Star Method could cultivate ninety-nine Soul Force Planets.
Once one possessed ninety-nine Soul Force Planets, it was equivalent to having ninety-nine separate Soul Bodies. How terrifying was that?
"Never mind. I won't dwell on this problem for now. I can explore it slowly when I have time later," Ye Yunfei said afterward.
At this moment, the fierce battle between the two clans was still ongoing.
Xiao Ziming and Zhan Wu were both Advanced Demigods, locked in a close and intense fight.
Besides Xiao Ziming and Zhan Wu, the Zhan Family had three other Advanced Demigods, and the Xiao Family had two more. They were also engaged in fierce combat.
However, each of the Zhan Family's three Advanced Demigods were accompanied by over a dozen Warbeasts, all possessing Demigod-level strength!
Thus, the Xiao Family's Advanced Demigods were completely at a disadvantage!
Because the Xiao Family only had three Advanced Demigods in total, while the Zhan Family had four Advanced Demigods, plus over a dozen Demigod-strength Warbeasts.
As time passed, the Xiao Family's three Advanced Demigods began to falter, retreating step by step.
Furthermore, both the Xiao and Zhan Families had quite a few Intermediate and Initial Demigods. In terms of numbers, the Zhan Family had more Demigods, and each Zhan Family Demigod was accompanied by several Warbeasts, fighting alongside them, advancing and retreating together.
Besides the Demigod-level experts, Heavenly Immortals and lower-level martial artists from both families were also locked in fierce combat. On this front, the Zhan Family still held the upper hand.
In short, in this battle, the Zhan Family had begun to seize the advantage, relentlessly pushing back the Xiao Family members, who were in an extremely sorry state.
"Xiao Huanhuan, Xiao Yueyue, both of you vile wenches are here. Very good, saving me the trouble of searching for you.
Young Master Zhan Yuan has specifically given the order to capture both of you little wenches and bring you back for his amusement!
Now, even wings wouldn't help you escape. It's better if you obediently surrender!"
A Zhan Family Advanced Heavenly Immortal had now set his sights on Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue. Leading over a dozen Zhan Family Heavenly Immortals and a group of Warbeasts, he was closing in on the two girls.
"That disgusting beast Zhan Yuan! Someday, I'll personally kill him!"
Both Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue were furious, their beautiful faces frosty with rage. Xiao Yueyue shouted even louder.
"Heh heh, with just you two little wenches, you think you can kill Young Master Zhan Yuan? That's pure fantasy.
You are destined to be playthings for Young Master Zhan Yuan. Better recognize reality sooner.
Everyone, attack together! Capture these two little wenches. Young Master Zhan Yuan will surely bestow generous rewards," the Zhan Family Advanced Heavenly Immortal said with a lewd smile, taking the lead as he stepped closer to Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue.
"Huanhuan, Yueyue, I'll cover you! Don't linger in the fight! Find an opportunity to escape!"
At that moment, an old woman swooped down, placing herself in front of Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue, transmitting a voice message.
It was none other than Granny Liu!
"It's you again, old woman! Last time, this old hag killed many of our Zhan Family members. Attack! Cut this old hag into a thousand pieces!"
The Zhan Family Advanced Heavenly Immortal shouted angrily the moment he saw Granny Liu.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
Zhan Family members released their energy auras one after another, creating deafening booms. Warbeasts roared incessantly, the sound earth-shaking.
In the next moment, the Zhan Family Advanced Heavenly Immortal charged forward with over a dozen Zhan Family members.
Granny Liu and several Xiao Family Heavenly Immortal experts moved to meet them, engaging in a fierce battle.
"We'll join the fight too!"
Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue exchanged a glance, then charged forward simultaneously to join the fray.
"What are you two doing! Quickly find a chance to escape! Both of you are now Saintesses of our Xiao Family, of noble status! You absolutely cannot take risks. You must survive and leave!
Because you are the future hope of our Xiao Family!"
Seeing this, Granny Liu and the other Xiao Family experts sent urgent voice transmissions to the two sisters, urging them to find an opportunity to escape.
"Huanhuan, Yueyue, you two cannot participate in the battle. We will have everyone cover for your escape! Don't worry. Even if our Xiao Family fights to the last person, we will do our utmost to cover you!
After you escape, find a place to hide. Of course, it would be best if you could go to the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds and seek refuge with Ye Yunfei.
In any case, you must survive.
Now that you bear the status of Saintesses, you carry the heavy burden of our Xiao Family's future resurgence!"
Xiao Ziming was engaged in his intense fight with Zhan Wu, but he had also released his Soul Power energy to perceive the battlefield. Seeing Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue join the battle, he was startled and immediately sent a voice transmission.
It turned out that not long ago, Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue had become the Saintesses of this generation of the Xiao Family, simultaneously achieving the status.
"Elder, how can the two of us abandon everyone and escape on our own?" Xiao Yueyue transmitted back.
"Huanhuan, Yueyue, this is an order! Now is not the time for willfulness. You are the future hope of our Xiao Family. You absolutely must not come to harm!
Stop fighting immediately. I will have everyone coordinate to cover for you and create an opportunity for you to escape," Xiao Ziming's expression turned stern as he transmitted.
However, right at that moment.
"Everyone listen! The Saintesses of this generation of the Xiao Family have already been chosen. Right before us are two Xiao Family Saintesses—those two, Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue!
Absolutely cannot let them escape!"
Zhan Wu suddenly declared in a loud voice, simultaneously pointing towards the two sisters, Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue.
"Haha... So you two little wenches are already Xiao Family Saintesses! In that case, Young Master Zhan Yuan will surely be even more delighted!
To be able to toy with two Xiao Family Saintesses at once—such a delightful thing! Just thinking about it is enviable!"
Upon hearing Zhan Wu's words, the Zhan Family Advanced Heavenly Immortal leading the group surrounding the two sisters couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Everyone, when Young Master Zhan Yuan is happy, the rewards will be even greater!"
This Zhan Family Advanced Heavenly Immortal laughed heartily.
"How enviable Young Master Zhan Yuan is! To play with two Xiao Family Saintesses at once—such treatment is absolutely unparalleled in the entire Chaotic Void Sea!" a Zhan Family member shouted.
"Of course! Given Young Master Zhan Yuan's status, playing with two Xiao Family Saintesses simultaneously is nothing strange.
Alright, enough idle talk. Let's attack!" the Zhan Family Advanced Heavenly Immortal scolded with a laugh.
"So Huanhuan and Yueyue have already been confirmed by the Council of Elders and become this generation's Saintesses of our Xiao Family!"
Many Xiao Family members were unaware of the two sisters' status. Hearing it now, they were greatly shocked.
Slay!
At this moment, even more Zhan Family members, along with their Warbeasts, charged towards Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue.
Previously, as junior members of the Xiao Family, Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue weren't particularly outstanding and didn't attract much attention.
But now that their status as Saintesses was exposed, they immediately drew the focused assault of large numbers of Zhan Family members!
To eliminate the Xiao Family Saintesses was equivalent to destroying the Xiao Family's foundation!
"So both of them have become Saintesses of the Xiao Family.
It seems after they returned to the clan headquarters, they defeated Xiao Qinglian and successfully became Saintesses. Quite impressive," Ye Yunfei mused inwardly upon hearing everyone's words.
"Slay them!
Capture the two Xiao Family Saintesses!"
Upon learning of the two sisters' Saintess status, the Zhan Family members focused their efforts on them. People from all directions continuously charged forward.
"Not good! Huanhuan and Yueyue's Saintess identity has actually leaked!"
Xiao Ziming was both shocked and furious upon seeing this.
The news of Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue becoming Saintesses had been strictly sealed by the Xiao Family. Even ordinary Xiao Family members didn't know; only the higher-ups were aware.
Granny Liu, due to her special relationship with the two sisters, also knew.
Now Zhan Wu had suddenly and openly revealed Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue's identities, making a great deal of trouble.
"Haha...
Xiao Huanhuan, Xiao Yueyue, you two little wenches!
So what if you've become Xiao Family Saintesses!
Did you think that would truly let you win against me?
Now even the Xiao Family is about to be destroyed. What's the point of you being Saintesses?"
Right then, a young woman suddenly appeared in the distance, her gaze fixed on Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue as she laughed triumphantly.
"It's you! Xiao Qinglian!
How are you here?"
Both Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue were startled to see this woman, for she was none other than Xiao Qinglian.
Xiao Qinglian had previously competed fiercely with the two sisters for the position of Xiao Family Saintess. Later, Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue were discovered by several of the Xiao Family's Old Ancestors to possess extremely pure regressive bloodlines, and thus were designated as Saintesses, while Xiao Qinglian failed.
"Heh, of course I'm here.
Otherwise, how do you think the Zhan Family discovered your trail?" Xiao Qinglian sneered.
"Xiao Qinglian!
So before, you constantly kept in contact with me using the clan's secret jade slips, just to determine my location and lure the Zhan Family here to besiege our Xiao Family forces!"
Upon hearing Xiao Qinglian's words, a female member of the Xiao Family cried out in shock, pointing an accusing finger at Xiao Qinglian.
"That's right.
My previous constant contact with you was precisely to pinpoint the specific locations of you people.
Xiao Yin, considering our friendship has always been good, I can ask the Zhan Family to leave your corpse intact," Xiao Qinglian said smugly.
"Xiao Qinglian! So it was you who leaked the secret that led the Zhan Family to discover and chase us before!
You dare to betray our Xiao Family! Such audacity!"
Upon hearing Xiao Qinglian's words, Xiao Ziming also flew into a towering rage, immediately roaring in fury.
"That's right! I have betrayed the Xiao Family!
So what?
Over these years, in order to become a Saintess, I painstakingly schemed, sparing no effort or cost. Moreover, I accomplished many significant deeds for the clan.
And what about these two little wenches, Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue? They violated clan rules, ran around outside sightseeing, idle and lazy, contributing nothing to the clan.
Yet in the end, you all let them become Saintesses, while I was deemed unworthy!
I am not convinced!
The position of Xiao Family Saintess should rightfully belong to me!"
Facing Xiao Ziming, Xiao Qinglian's face contorted slightly as she shrieked.
