The moment he stepped into the secret base, Ye Yunfei heard battle cries and fierce clashes echoing everywhere, the sound of combat ringing out from every direction. A thick scent of blood permeated the air.
Within this Small World, a large force from the Guardian Faction had already attacked and breached the defenses, while the members of the Restorer Faction were resisting with all their might.
However, judging by both numbers and strength, the Guardian Faction side held the upper hand.
"Not good! The Guardian Faction's army has invaded this place!" Hun Lao exclaimed in shock.
"Everyone, let's begin the fight," Ye Yunfei said in a low voice, sending out all the Restorers from within the Phantom Tower.
"Young Master Ye, the Guardian Faction's army has actually broken in," seeing the scene before them, those Restorers who had just been teleported out of the Phantom Tower by Ye Yunfei immediately understood what was happening, their faces pale with shock.
The six Restorer deities, including Tang Tao, stood by Ye Yunfei's side, their faces pale with shock and fury.
"Let's attack. Kill as many as we can." Ye Yunfei left these words behind, and with a flash, his figure charged toward the distant battlefield.
At this moment, the members of the two great factions were already scattered throughout this Small World, fighting everywhere.
"Starting now, let's cooperate to target specifically those Deities of the Guardian Faction. First kill the Primary Void Gods, then the Intermediate Void Gods. The more we kill, the better.
Remember, we must be swift." Ye Yunfei transmitted the message to Hu Miao, Hun Lao, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Xiaoyao Shen, and the others.
How fast was Ye Yunfei's movement? He charged out several steps in a row, arriving behind a Primary Void God of the Guardian Faction, and sent his physical body exploding with a single fist strike.
And when Ye Yunfei struck, Hu Miao unleashed her illusion arts, while Hun Lao and Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm performed space secret techniques. Working together, their lineup was completely crushing against a Primary Void God.
Next, Ye Yunfei pushed his movement speed and footwork to their absolute limit, continuously charging toward those Primary Void Gods of the Guardian Faction, then blasting them apart with fist strikes.
Within an extremely short time, Ye Yunfei blew apart six Primary Void Gods of the Guardian Faction in quick succession, instantaneously defeating them. The opponents had absolutely no power to resist.
Thus, Ye Yunfei attracted everyone's attention.
Many Deities within this Small World directed their gazes toward Ye Yunfei because his speed in slaying those Deities was far too swift, far too overbearing—a single punch for each, leaving no room for negotiation.
"It's Ye Yunfei! Ye Yunfei has returned!"
At this moment, Deities from both the Guardian Faction and the Restorer Faction recognized Ye Yunfei.
Yet, Ye Yunfei's movements showed no pause; he was already charging toward the seventh Deity of the Guardian Faction.
"Not good!"
This seventh Guardian Deity was also at the Primary Void God Realm. Seeing Ye Yunfei charging towards him murderously, he was terrified and turned to flee.
Suddenly, a full moon materialized within his Soul Sea, shedding boundless moonlight across his spiritual consciousness. Then his movements halted, and he was subsequently punched into oblivion by Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei grabbed his Soul Body and stuffed it into his own Soul Sea.
Of course, Ye Yunfei would not miss these Deities' Soul Bodies and bloodline essence. Each time he slew a Deity, he would swallow their Soul Body, and at the same time have his Blood Clan Doppelgänger refine and absorb their bloodline essence.
After killing the seventh Deity, Ye Yunfei once again charged toward an eighth Deity of the Guardian Faction—another Primary Void God.
"No fear, let's deal with him together!"
At this time, many other Deities from the Guardian Faction in the vicinity had begun to charge over.
Simultaneously, thirteen Deities from the Guardian Faction surrounded and attacked Ye Yunfei from all directions.
"Come at me," Ye Yunfei stood in place, utterly motionless, a cold sneer on his face.
"Young Master Ye, be careful! They have strength in numbers!"
Suddenly, an old man in the distance shouted loudly towards Ye Yunfei.
"Great Chief, rest assured. These characters are not enough to injure me," Ye Yunfei gave a slight nod to that elder.
That old man was precisely the Great Chief of the Restorer Faction, the Elder Duan.
Following that, Ye Yunfei's gaze shifted to a middle-aged man in the distance.
"Second Chief, you crafted this game quite well. It seems your intention today is to completely exterminate the Restorer Faction. But you may not necessarily succeed," Ye Yunfei looked at that middle-aged man and spoke.
That middle-aged man was none other than the Second Chief of the Restorer Faction, who was also Liu Feng's master.
It was this very Second Chief who previously went to the Three Thousand Worlds and Big Cosmos Realm, brought Ye Yunfei to the Restorers' headquarters, and enabled Ye Yunfei to join the Restorer Faction.
It was not until not long ago, when Ye Yunfei discovered that Liu Feng was the traitor, that he began to realize this Second Chief was most likely the greatest traitor within the Restorer faction.
And during this period, the Second Chief dispatched eleven teams to carry out the so-called "spy-purge action," which was actually just a game he had set up.
Since the Restorer Faction had already suffered incidents and originally had limited members, and ten more teams were dispatched, the number of Restorers left within this secret base grew even smaller.
Under such circumstances, the Guardian Faction's army suddenly invading the base truly struck while the Restorers were vulnerable, catching the Restorer Faction off-guard.
On his way back to the base just moments ago, Ye Yunfei had largely understood what had actually happened.
So now, upon seeing the Second Chief standing in the distance, Ye Yunfei directly pointed him out aloud.
Although that Second Chief stood there and did not fight anyone, Ye Yunfei had already confirmed that he was the traitor.
"Haha, Young Master Ye has sharp eyes. It seems you already understand what has occurred." The middle-aged man did not deny it, replying with a laugh.
"Young Master Ye, I admit your strength is extraordinary, but relying on yourself alone today, you cannot change the outcome of the Restorer Faction's destruction.
Young Master Ye, opposing the Guardian Faction will ultimately lead to a similar end.
You simply do not know exactly how profound the Guardian Faction's foundation truly is, nor how powerful its strength.
Never mind this Eighth Void, even adding the other surviving fragments of void territory would be no match for the Guardian Faction.
To put it plainly, the Restorer Faction within our piece of void territory attempting to resist the Guardian Faction is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, or ants trying to shake a tree—it is absolutely impossible." The Second Chief then added.
"However, Young Master Ye, with your monstrous talent and your status as a Divine Pill Master, I am willing to give you an opportunity. If you are willing to side with me, then I can introduce you into the Guardian Faction.
Setting everything else aside, merely with your identity as a Divine Pill Master, within the Guardian Faction you would definitely be placed in an important position. As long as you join the Guardian Faction, from that point onwards you would no longer be restricted within this Eighth Void, but could go beyond, striding out into the broader, more vast heaven and earth.
What do you say?
Young Master Ye." The Second Chief's gaze fixed upon Ye Yunfei as he spoke slowly.
"What? Recruiting Ye Yunfei to join the Guardian Faction?"
Hearing the words of that Second Chief, people from both factions were greatly shocked.
However, upon second thought, it was not surprising—someone as young as Ye Yunfei possessed such terrifying strength and was also a Divine Pill Master. Such a young talent would be welcomed no matter where he went. The Guardian Faction wanting to recruit him was not strange.
"Second Chief, I thank you for your kind intention, but I act solely by my heart, pursuing peace of mind. The actions of your Guardian Faction are not to my liking, so I will stand by the side of the Restorers." Without any hesitation, Ye Yunfei replied directly.
"If that's the case, then there's nothing more to be said," the Second Chief's expression darkened.
"Shang Yuanyuan, you truly have treacherous ambitions! You even dared attempt to sway Young Master Ye! Unfortunately, Young Master Ye's righteousness is imposing, clearly discerning right from wrong—how could someone as shameless and lowly as you hope to corrupt him?" The Great Chief's voice thundered with anger, yet he thoroughly sighed in relief.
Because he understood that if Ye Yunfei truly defected to the Guardian Faction, the Restorer Faction truly would be finished.
At that moment, the dozen or so Deities surrounding Ye Yunfei had already charged near.
"Ye Yunfei, you little bastard, accept your death!"
An Intermediate Void God roared furiously, attacking preemptively with a fist strike toward Ye Yunfei. His fist continuously expanded in size, and then eighty-one phantom silhouettes of divine mountains projected from his fist.
Each divine mountain was ethereal upon its appearance, but gradually became corporeal, and finally transformed into eighty-one real mountains, exceedingly heavy, crushing the surrounding space until black spatial fissures emerged, all mountains suppressing toward Ye Yunfei.
The other Deities also simultaneously unleashed ferocious assaults upon Ye Yunfei.
"We must attack together, advance and retreat as one—under no circumstances give him a chance to engage any one of us singly! Although he is strong, we have numbers. Do not fear him!"
One of the Intermediate Void Gods shouted loudly.
Thirteen Deities attacked simultaneously, murderous aura swelling, momentum startling.
"Comparing numbers, are you?" Hearing the words of that Intermediate Void God, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but sneer.
"Hu Miao, Hun Lao, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, attack with me." Ye Yunfei transmitted the order.
Then Ye Yunfei waved his hand, and fifteen puppets simultaneously appeared beside him, and struck together.
Among these puppets, ten were of the Intermediate Void God Realm, and five of the Primary Void God Realm.
Fifteen puppets simultaneously engaging thirteen Deities of the Guardian Faction, plus Ye Yunfei, Hu Miao, Hun Lao, and Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm—in terms of numbers they already surpassed their opponents.
The thirteen Guardian Deities couldn't have expected such a sudden change. One after another, they were thoroughly shocked, drawing back repeatedly.
Because among these thirteen Deities, only seven were Intermediate Void Gods, whereas among the puppets Ye Yunfei had summoned there were a full ten who were Intermediate Void Gods. They were simply no match.
Originally, Ye Yunfei did not want to reveal his deity-level puppets this early, as they were some of his strongest trump cards.
But this battle concerned the life and death of the Restorer Faction, so Ye Yunfei decided to deploy his puppets.
"All shall die!"
When those fifteen puppets were released, Ye Yunfei began moving like a savage tiger descending the mountain, swinging his fists in strikes.
A tragic circumstance faced those thirteen Guardian Deities. Confronting the desperate attacks of fifteen puppets, they were already powerless to contend; facing Ye Yunfei's assault, they had even less strength to resist.
*Bang, bang, bang!*
Fists pounded several times in succession, and Ye Yunfei sent three or four deities' bodies bursting apart. Whether Primary Void Gods or Intermediate Void Gods, once Ye Yunfei set his sights on them, there was no escape from a fate of shattering from a single fist strike.
Before delivering a physical strike, Ye Yunfei would first unleash Moon Soul Slash to attack the opponent's Soul Body. This further stripped those Guardian Deities of any ability to resist.
