"Patriarch, according to the results of my divination, Ye Yunfei has already left this world group."
In the Qiancang World Group, the Shen Family wizard suddenly spoke to the patriarch.
"What? He's already escaped?"
Hearing the wizard's words, the patriarch's face turned extremely ugly.
However, deep in his heart, he seemed to secretly breathe a sigh of relief. Previously, when Ye Yunfei was still roaming the Qiancang World Group causing trouble for the Shen Family, the clan had seemed utterly incapable of dealing with him. Now that Ye Yunfei had left, it meant he would temporarily cease troubling the Shen Family. This affair seemed to have reached a conclusion.
"Ye Yunfei..."
The Shen Family patriarch's gaze shifted to the chaotic void beyond the Qiancang World Group, endless killing intent swirling in the depths of his eyes.
If possible, he wished he could immediately kill Ye Yunfei to ease the hatred in his heart.
"Patriarch, this Ye Yunfei is not only powerful but also skilled at concealment. If that weren't the case, we would have already found and eliminated him long ago," a Shen Family elder standing beside the patriarch spoke up.
"This Ye Yunfei is strong, strong enough to threaten the safety of our Shen Family," the patriarch said after some thought. "And the enmity between our Shen Family and him is already irreconcilable. Pass down the order: from now on, Ye Yunfei, his Alliance Army, and the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds are our Shen Family's primary enemies.
Also, let everyone remember, if they ever encounter Ye Yunfei in the future, unless confident of victory, do not lightly provoke him. To deal with Ye Yunfei, it is necessary to dispatch at least several Advanced Demigods, or even Perfected Demigods."
The other high-ranking Shen Family members standing around the patriarch fell silent after hearing his words.
Though they felt unwilling, they had to admit that Ye Yunfei's strength was indeed not something ordinary Shen Family members could afford to provoke.
Even Initial Demigods and Intermediate Demigods were nothing in front of Ye Yunfei.
"Truly unimaginable," the Shen Family wizard couldn't help but sigh in admiration. "That such a monstrous young man has emerged in our Chaotic Void Sea. Even in ancient times, such prodigies were relatively rare."
"Hmph! Even if he's a rare young prodigy, so what?" a high-ranking Shen Family elder snorted coldly. "Our Shen Family has a long heritage and profound foundations. We cannot possibly fear a mere junior. He dares to provoke our Shen Family like this; he will pay the price sooner or later."
However, at that moment, the high-ranking members of the other major forces in the distant Qiancang World Group all sneered one after another.
"The Shen Family has provoked that little god of calamity. They'll surely face more troubles in the future. Just wait and see," many murmured quietly.
The Shen Family had brought this opponent upon themselves because they were long accustomed to arrogance and domineering behavior.
"I heard that several of the Shen Family's territories have already been destroyed by that kid. Their losses this time are significant," many took gleeful delight in others' misfortune.
"Issue the order," the Shen Family patriarch commanded at this moment. "From now on, strengthen all defenses to prevent that little beast Ye Yunfei from making a surprise return."
He added, "Immediately dispatch teams into the ruined worlds to begin reconstruction."
"Also," the Shen Family patriarch said after another moment of consideration, "send someone immediately to contact the few ancient, secret assassination organizations within the Chaotic Void Sea. Have them dispatch assassins to deal with Ye Yunfei. No matter how high the price those organizations demand, our Shen Family will pay it."
At the same time, the events transpiring in the Qiancang World Group began to spread rapidly through the Chaotic Void Sea once again.
After all, the Qiancang World Group was a core world group, fairly famous throughout the Chaotic Void Sea. And the Shen Family was a prestigious major power within it. Now, having been so brazenly provoked and rendered so helpless by a junior, the news caused another minor sensation after spreading.
Thus, the name Ye Yunfei rang even louder throughout the Chaotic Void Sea.
"Ye Yunfei from the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds is truly formidable!"
"Last time, he faced a siege by dozens of Demigods during his tribulation yet not only survived but successfully broke through. Now he single-handedly returned to the Qiancang World Group to settle scores with the Shen Family, killing so many of their members and plundering so much of their wealth!"
After the news spread, sighs of amazement came from everywhere as people discussed the matter.
Simultaneously, the leaders of numerous world groups and major forces issued orders forbidding their members from provoking Ye Yunfei from now on. If they encountered Ye Yunfei, they were to actively avoid him.
Because even a major power like the Shen Family had been left in such disarray by Ye Yunfei, forces with average strength simply couldn't handle him.
At the same time, within the Chaotic Void Sea, those major forces who were enemies of Ye Yunfei grew much more vigilant after hearing about the events in the Qiancang World Group. They immediately ordered all their members to strengthen their defenses.
"Truly unbelievable," mused the high-ranking members of many major powers, expressions complicated. This was especially true for forces that had deeper grievances with Ye Yunfei—like the Dark Faction, the Heavenly God Hall, the Demon Race, the Monster Race, and others. Their high-ranking members found it somewhat difficult to accept.
Though Ye Yunfei had always shown monstrous talent, previously he could at most deal with Primary or Intermediate Demigods. But now, Ye Yunfei could already kill Advanced Demigods and face Perfected Demigods in direct combat. Such strength posed a massive threat to the majority of major powers.
At this time, Ye Yunfei was in the void of the Chaotic Void Sea, continuously using his Space Teleportation Token to travel back towards the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
"I sense the aura of the Dark Faction," Hun Lao suddenly spoke.
"Indeed, I sense it too," Ye Yunfei stopped abruptly, his gaze turning towards a world cluster not far away as he said solemnly. "In that direction."
The aura of the Dark Faction race was very distinctive and easy to recognize. They primarily cultivated dark energy and dark laws, and places where Dark Faction members were present were generally shrouded in billowing black mist. Anyone with a bit of knowledge and experience could easily recognize them.
"Since we've encountered them, let's go take a look," Ye Yunfei said with a cold smile. Then, with a flash, he arrived before that world cluster.
Ye Yunfei's Soul Power energy swept inward and indeed saw large numbers of Dark Faction members within this world cluster. The entire world cluster was filled with dense black mist, shrouded in perpetual darkness.
"It seems this world cluster has been occupied by the Dark Faction," Ye Yunfei murmured, a cold smile appearing on his lips. "Since I've encountered it, I should do something about it. The Dark Faction is cruel and lawless—no good comes from them."
Just then, Ye Yunfei noticed a squad of Dark Faction members rushing towards his location from afar. Clearly, he had been discovered.
Ye Yunfei didn't dodge or evade. With a wave of his hand, a massive sword light whistled out and instantly annihilated that squad of Dark Faction members, grinding their bodies to dust.
"Everyone, come out. Let's fight our way in together."
Ye Yunfei summoned Hu Miao, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Huang Shang, and his Blood Clan Clone. Then, he strode into the world cluster ahead.
With his current strength, Ye Yunfei could contend even with a Perfected Demigod. Thus, skilled and confident, he could move unbridled through the Chaotic Void Sea, with few places he dared not go.
"Not good! An enemy has arrived!"
Ye Yunfei's swift elimination of that Dark Faction squad immediately drew attention. More Dark Faction members patrolling in the distance saw this scene and quickly sent out messages, shouting loudly. Even more Dark Faction members then surged out from within the world cluster.
"All of you shall die!"
With a thought from Ye Yunfei, his Flying Sword shot out from his head, soaring skyward. Dragging a boundless ocean of sword energy, it slashed forward.
The void ahead was instantly split in two. Wherever the Flying Sword passed, all Dark Faction members it encountered were shredded to bits. Not a single Dark Faction member could withstand its attack.
One had to know that this Flying Sword was forged using materials of the Deity grade; its quality and rank far surpassed that of Demigod-level artifacts. Moreover, Ye Yunfei was now a Demigod himself, and his swordsmanship had continuously improved over this period. Under such circumstances, the sword art he could unleash was something not even Advanced or Perfected Demigods might dare to face head-on, let alone these average-strength Dark Faction members.
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Huang Shang, Hun Lao, and the Blood Clan Clone also followed Ye Yunfei into this world cluster. Whenever they encountered Dark Faction members, they immediately began a bloody slaughter, sparing none.
The suffering the Dark Faction had inflicted upon the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds in the past was too profound. They had launched world-ending wars in that cosmos time and again, causing the deaths of countless innocent lives. Moreover, the Dark Faction had laid a solid sealing layer outside the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, isolating that part of the void from the greater Chaotic Void Sea for a long period, causing it to degrade into a backward, remote, and weak world cluster. It could be said that the hatred between the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds and the Dark Faction ran deep. Therefore, Ye Yunfei would never show mercy whenever he encountered the Dark Faction, killing as many as he could.
"Who are you? Why are you causing trouble in our Dark Faction's territory?"
A High-Level Heavenly Immortal leading a large squad of Dark Faction members charged towards Ye Yunfei angrily.
Ye Yunfei slapped out. A gigantic palm instantly materialized above that High-Level Heavenly Immortal's head and then slapped down, flattening him and the entire squad into pulps.
"Halt!"
A thick mass of black mist churned and surged in the distance as a Initial Demigod expert from the Dark Faction charged through the mist, revealing his form. He held a black sickle in his hand and made a sweeping slash from afar. Surprisingly, a phantom image of the sickle appeared above Ye Yunfei's head, rapidly enlarging as it cleaved towards Ye Yunfei's skull.
Ye Yunfei didn't even glance at it. He backhandedly slapped upwards, directly exploding that sickle phantom. Then he took a step forward, moving at an extreme speed, instantly appearing before that Dark Faction Initial Demigod.
At this moment, the Dark Faction Initial Demigod fully recognized Ye Yunfei, because Ye Yunfei wasn't concealing his Soul Body or appearance—he was presenting his true face.
"You... you're Ye Yunfei from the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds!"
The Dark Faction Initial Demigod exclaimed in shock.
"Correct. I am Ye Yunfei," Ye Yunfei said indifferently.
As he spoke, he threw a punch at this Dark Faction Initial Demigod. Terrifying physical strength instantly locked down the entire space ahead.
Faced with Ye Yunfei's terrifying physical strength, this Dark Faction Initial Demigod had absolutely no means to resist.
"Not good! I'm definitely not a match for that kid Ye Yunfei!"
At this point, the Dark Faction Initial Demigod came to a complete realization. Recalling all the news he'd heard about Ye Yunfei recently, he knew he stood no chance. He cried out in a panic, then turned to flee.
But it was too late. The physical force unleashed by Ye Yunfei's fist pinned this space down like an iron slab. The Initial Demigod found his body completely immobilized, a look of terror spreading across his face.
"Who dares kill members of our Dark Faction?!"
At that moment, a dark shadow emitting a fierce aura appeared in the distance, soaring through the air. Billowing dark energy radiated from it—another Demigod expert from the Dark Faction had arrived.
It seemed the Dark Faction valued this world cluster quite a bit, as they had stationed at least two Demigod experts here.
"Be careful! He's Ye Yunfei from the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds! He's extremely strong!"
The Dark Faction Initial Demigod trapped by Ye Yunfei's fist desperately shouted out to warn his companion.
"What? He's Ye Yunfei?"
The rushing Dark Faction Initial Demigod shuddered in fright and immediately slowed down. Ye Yunfei's reputation had grown far too fearsome recently. Many Demigods had already fallen by his hands.
*Boom!* The shouting Dark Faction Initial Demigod was blasted apart by Ye Yunfei's fist. Ye Yunfei then caught his Soul Body and handed it to Huang Shang.
"Ye Yunfei, just you wait!"
The other Dark Faction Initial Demigod in the distance, seeing his companion slain with a single punch, was so terrified his entire body ran cold. He dared not approach any further.
"You're not escaping."
A streak of golden light suddenly appeared before this Dark Faction Initial Demigod, blocking his path. A youth clad in golden garments appeared, immediately launching a fierce attack. It was none other than the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
As he engaged in combat with the Dark Faction Initial Demigod, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm simultaneously employed the spatial secret arts of his race, sealing the surrounding space.
Gradually, the Dark Faction Initial Demigod felt the area around him filling up with mysterious spatial runes, severely restricting his movements and limiting his combat power. He was already no match for the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm; now he became even more hard-pressed.
A moment later, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm blasted his physical form apart.
Meanwhile, Ye Yunfei had already entered the world cluster, manipulating his Flying Sword. Whenever he spotted Dark Faction members, he immediately eradicated them.
A single Flying Sword, dragging a roaring river of sword energy, shone blindingly brightly within this world cluster, illuminating its entire expanse with radiant splendor.
Throughout the world cluster, countless beings watched the dazzling sword traversing back and forth with fearful eyes, their hearts trembling with terror. Though they desperately wished to flee, their bodies went limp, unable to move.
A single Flying Sword ruled the skies, suppressing the entire world cluster!
"Did you notice? That Flying Sword seems to be specifically hunting Dark Faction members!"
Suddenly, someone cried out in pleasant surprise.
"That's right! That sword is exclusively killing Dark Faction members! None of us living in this world cluster have been harmed! This is wonderful! So satisfying!"
Many others noticed this and joined the cheering.
This world cluster had long been conquered by the Dark Faction. All its native inhabitants had been reduced to slaves. Usually, the Dark Faction members would mercilessly beat and curse the local beings, bullying them to the utmost.
Though the inhabitants of this world cluster dared not openly resist, deep in their hearts they harbored extreme hatred for the Dark Faction members. Suddenly witnessing a Flying Sword hunting Dark Faction members everywhere, they felt an immense sense of catharsis. Seeing Dark Faction member after Dark Faction member being shredded into dust, they couldn't help but cheer on the spot.
This was especially true when they saw the particular Dark Faction members who had once bullied them slaughtered without a trace by the sword. They grew so excited that hot tears streamed down their faces, crying out that heaven had eyes.
