"Senior, has the location of our secret base been exposed?" Ye Yunfei asked immediately.
Ye Yunfei understood that if this secret base had already been exposed, then the army of the Guardian Faction could arrive at any moment.
"Judging by the information I have grasped so far, the specific location of our secret base shouldn't be completely exposed yet. However, the Guardian Faction has definitely learned something," the middle-aged man replied.
"Senior, what does our Restorer Faction plan to do? Are we going to build another new base?" Ye Yunfei inquired.
Ye Yunfei understood that establishing a new secret base was no easy task.
"I intend to find and eliminate the spy first. If we don't root out the spy, our Restorer Faction will never find peace. Even if we abandon this base and establish a new one, it will be exposed again in the future due to the spy's betrayal," the middle-aged man said after thinking for a moment.
"Find the spy first? How do we do that specifically?" Ye Yunfei asked.
"Yes. I will assign a task to the members of our Restorer Faction. I will strictly control the number of people who know about this task, and then closely monitor every person who knows about it to see if we can discover something," the middle-aged man stated.
"Senior, let me participate in the action to eliminate the spy as well," Ye Yunfei said.
"Alright, Young Master Ye. Although you are only at the Perfected Demigod realm, your strength is somewhat greater than that of an average Intermediate Void God. You are now one of the core powerhouses of our Restorer Faction, and you qualify to participate in this action," the middle-aged man nodded.
"I will go prepare first, and then I will notify you," the middle-aged man turned and left.
Ye Yunfei once again entered the Phantom Shadow Tower and began to continuously refine medicinal pills.
At regular intervals, an elder from the Restorer Faction would come to collect the pills Ye Yunfei refined and then distribute them.
"Young Master Ye, it's time for action. For this operation, our Restorer Faction has dispatched ten squads. The task content received by the members of each squad is different, the destinations they head to are different, and even every single member within these ten squads receives a specific task that is different. All members of the ten squads must travel alone to the location to carry out their tasks; they cannot travel in groups. Of course, you are an exception, Young Master Ye. I will tell you all the plans for the entire operation in detail, and I'll need your cooperation later. Also, I have assigned all the suspected targets to this mission. I believe if there really is a spy, they will definitely report to the Guardian Faction. The Guardian Faction will certainly send people to surround and kill our Restorer Faction members. When that happens, we can roughly deduce which squad the spy belongs to based on where the Guardian Faction's forces appear."
Ye Yunfei suddenly received a Sound Transmission from the middle-aged man, followed by a transmission of Soul Force information entering his sea of consciousness.
"Senior, I understand." Ye Yunfei immediately stopped refining pills, walked out of the Phantom Shadow Tower, and then quietly left this Small World.
Not long after, Ye Yunfei arrived at a World Cluster. This World Cluster was called the Tianlin World Cluster, and its scale and overall strength were relatively average.
Ye Yunfei entered one of the worlds in the Tianlin World Cluster, arriving at a relatively remote region. In the high sky far away, he saw thunderclouds churning and dark clouds filling the sky. It turned out a Perfected Demigod was undergoing a Divine Tribulation to become a Deity in this world.
At this moment, the Divine Tribulation was just about to begin. A sea of dark clouds covered a vast swath of the sky, with quite a few people patrolling and guarding the surroundings, likely serving as protectors for the Perfected Demigod undergoing the tribulation.
Because the area was quite remote, the disturbance from the Divine Tribulation hadn't attracted onlookers.
Ye Yunfei used his movement technique and quietly concealed himself within the nearby space.
A moment later, the Divine Tribulation finally began. Rolling lightning bolts wildly descended upon that Perfected Demigod. However, when the lightning bombardment was about a quarter over, Ye Yunfei's eyes suddenly narrowed as he noticed quite a few experts quietly entering this world.
"Looks like the Guardian Faction members have finally arrived. I'll kill as many as come," Ye Yunfei sneered inwardly. Nowadays, when Ye Yunfei encountered members of the Guardian Faction, he had only one thought: kill them all, leave none alive.
Soon, a group of people appeared, surrounding and moving to attack the Perfected Demigod undergoing the tribulation. They were indeed from the Guardian Faction.
"Without the permission of our Guardian Faction, you dare to secretly undergo a Divine Tribulation? What audacity! Not only you, but even the organization you belong to, your clan, and even this world you are in will face punishment," an old man from the Guardian Faction said with a sharp gaze fixed on the Perfected Demigod in the tribulation, a cold sneer on his face.
"I reported to your Guardian Faction and requested permission to undergo the Divine Tribulation. But your Guardian Faction is too greedy, completely disregarding my survival, demanding I pay an exorbitant amount of treasures to allow me to undergo tribulation and become a Deity. However, most of my wealth has already been used for cultivation. The amount your Guardian Faction demands is simply too great; how could I possibly afford it? Your Guardian Faction seeks to block my path to divinity. I cannot accept this!" Seeing so many Guardian Faction members suddenly arrive, the Perfected Demigod in the midst of the tribulation was both shocked and furious, roaring out.
"Don't waste your breath. You dare defy our Guardian Faction, secretly undergoing a Divine Tribulation without permission? This is a serious crime. Now accept your punishment. You will never have the chance to become a Deity," the old man from the Guardian Faction spoke coldly, his tone dripping with condescension.
"Dare to hinder our clan ancestor from becoming a Deity? Let's fight them with everything we've got!" At this moment, all those who had been patrolling and defending earlier rushed fearlessly towards the Guardian Faction members.
"A group of ants dare provoke our Guardian Faction. Kill them all! Then slaughter the organization this guy belongs to and the clan he hails from. Everyone and every power connected to him shall be exterminated," the speaking old man of the Guardian Faction said icily.
"Just a Perfected Demigod, and he dares to bark orders here," in the distance, Ye Yunfei revealed a cold smile.
Ye Yunfei's Soul Power energy had already locked onto every Guardian Faction member present. As soon as these Guardian Faction members moved, he would immediately strike to kill.
Ye Yunfei discovered that for now, those who had entered this world from the Guardian Faction were only Demigods, with the strongest being Perfected Demigods. There were about a few dozen Perfected Demigods. No Deities had revealed themselves yet. Some of the Perfected Demigods vaguely emitted Deity-level energy auras. Undoubtedly, they carried Deity-level treasures.
Given Ye Yunfei's current strength, these Guardian Faction members with only Demigod-level strength were no different from a swarm of ants.
At this time, Ye Yunfei noticed that some Restorer Faction members had also quietly entered this world, ambushing in the surroundings, ready to strike at any moment. Members of the Restorer Faction could sense each other's presence through their identity tokens.
"I'll stay hidden for now and watch how things unfold," Ye Yunfei thought after a moment's consideration.
For this operation, the Restorer Faction had dispatched ten squads, each squad having one or two Deities. The squad Ye Yunfei was currently in had only himself as a Deity for the time being. This was because Ye Yunfei's strength was more than sufficient by itself.
At this moment, those Guardian Faction members had already begun to take action.
"Your Guardian Faction is too much!" the Perfected Demigod undergoing the Divine Tribulation cried out in grief and indignation. A large group of people surrounded him, all his subordinates.
However, just as the battle was about to commence, Restorer Faction forces appeared, charging and attacking the Guardian Faction members from all directions!
"Damn it! To think you Restorationists dare show your faces, dare oppose our Guardian Faction!" Seeing this large group of Restorer Faction forces suddenly swarm out, those Guardian Faction members were all shocked and furious. Because the members of the Restorer Faction had not shown themselves in this part of the void for a long time; they never expected them to appear now. This caught the Guardian Faction members a bit unprepared.
Soon, fierce battles erupted between the forces of the Guardian Faction and the Restorer Faction.
"So it's the Restorer Faction who's come. This is truly great." The Perfected Demigod undergoing the Divine Tribulation watched the suddenly arriving Restorer Faction members with great excitement, and then he began focusing wholeheartedly on passing his tribulation. He knew the Restorer Faction members would do their utmost to protect him.
"Both sides' strengths seem roughly equal," Ye Yunfei assessed the forces of both factions, thinking to himself.
"However, with me here, our Restorer Faction holds absolute superiority." Ye Yunfei inwardly sneered, then with a thought, he manifested the Soul Sword.
A scream rang out. A Guardian Faction member far away was struck as if by lightning, let out a miserable cry, his body sent flying backward to crash down at a distance. His head lolled to the side, and he died instantly.
Ye Yunfei's Soul Power energy level had been steadily improving all this time. Now, using the Soul Sword against these ordinary-strength Guardian Faction members was simply too easy.
Next, Ye Yunfei continuously manifested the Soul Sword, killing one Guardian Faction member after another. Those struck by the Soul Sword died on the spot, their Soul Bodies completely shattered by the Soul Sword, their life force severed.
In just a short moment, Ye Yunfei had killed half of those Guardian Faction members.
"What is going on? What kind of evil technique are these Restorers using?" The remaining Guardian Faction members watched their comrades scream and fall dead one by one, their hearts trembling in fear, faces pale; they were starting to be scared.
At this point, the Restorer Faction completely dominated the field. Because throughout the earlier battle, the Restorer Faction members had not suffered any casualties. The entire time, Ye Yunfei's Soul Power energy had been sensing each person. Whenever he found a Restorer Faction member in danger, he would immediately lend a hand.
"Dammit! These Restorationists are too strange. We're no match. We need to retreat quickly. Hurry back and report, have headquarters dispatch Deities to handle this." Soon, those Guardian Faction members began to retreat, because they understood if things continued this way, the Guardian Faction forces here would be completely annihilated.
"It seems there should be no spy in our squad," Ye Yunfei watched the retreating Guardian Faction members, thinking to himself.
