"Let him wait. I don't have time right now. If he wants to join us from the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds to deal with the Guardian Faction, he'll have to wait. When I break this formation, he can follow us in to attack."
Ye Yunfei was in no mood at all to deal with those factions coming to pledge allegiance.
"Young Master Ye, Clan Leader Shangguan says he can assist you in cracking this formation," Kong Lao said.
"What?
He can assist me in breaking the formation?"
Hearing this, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but be taken aback.
Because Ye Yunfei felt his own skill in Formations should be among the pinnacle in this spacetime. If even he couldn't break this formation, who else could possibly assist him?
"Fine then, bring him over," Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and nodded.
After all, the world was vast and full of remarkable people and things. Since he couldn't crack this formation before him, perhaps that Clan Leader Shangguan truly had a way.
Not long after, Kong Lao brought a middle-aged man before Ye Yunfei.
"Greetings, Young Master Ye. I am the Clan Leader of the Shangguan Family. I have come specifically to assist you in breaking this formation," the middle-aged man said respectfully, performing a bow.
"Oh, you can assist me in breaking the formation?
That would mean you must be proficient in Formations as well.
Good, come and take a look, study it together."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"No, Young Master Ye, I am not skilled in Formations. However, our Shangguan Family has deep ties to the formation before you.
In the library of our Shangguan Family, there are ancient texts specifically detailing this great formation. I can provide you with information about this formation; it might be of use."
The leader of the Shangguan Family spoke.
"Oh? Your Shangguan Family has ties to this great formation before us?"
Hearing Clan Leader Shangguan's words, Ye Yunfei was stunned once more.
"That is indeed the case.
In truth, our Shangguan Family belonged to one of the world's top great families in the Chaotic Void Sea during ancient times. We had profound heritage and a long-standing legacy. However, we later experienced a brutal war that left our family in decline. Afterward, we were almost exterminated.
To be frank, Young Master Ye, this headquarters of the Guardian Faction before you was actually our Shangguan Family's ancestral headquarters in ancient times. And this formation before you is our Shangguan Family's ancient Clan Protection Formation.
I will now give you all the records concerning this formation."
Clan Leader Shangguan said.
He then waved a hand, sending a jade slip flying out to land before Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei reached out and took the jade slip, sensing into it with his Soul Power. He discovered it indeed contained many records regarding Formations, all concerning an ancient, advanced formation.
"Thank you, Clan Leader Shangguan. I will study this now to see if the formation records passed down by your Shangguan Family pertain to this great formation before us."
Ye Yunfei spoke.
"Then I shall not disturb you further, Young Master Ye," Clan Leader Shangguan said, then retreated to the side, not disturbing Ye Yunfei any longer.
Ye Yunfei began repeatedly reading the contents recorded in the jade slip.
"The formation records passed down by the Shangguan Family indeed pertain to this great formation before us. It seems Clan Leader Shangguan was correct—this formation before us truly is the Shangguan Family's ancient Clan Protection Formation!
Looking at it this way, this headquarters of the Guardian Faction should have been the Shangguan Family's ancestral headquarters in ancient times. It was likely seized and occupied by the Guardian Faction."
Ye Yunfei was extremely excited. For over ten days, he had been unable to crack this formation before him, but now he finally saw hope.
Thus, Ye Yunfei immediately passed the jade slip to Hun Lao and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm in turn, letting them read the contents recorded within as well.
"I feel that with these formation records from this jade slip, we should have a possibility of cracking this formation before us," Hun Lao said after repeatedly interpreting the formation contents recorded in the jade slip many times.
"Good, let's work together to break this formation."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
In the time that followed, Ye Yunfei, Hun Lao, and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm referenced those formation records from the jade slip, continuing to study and analyze the great formation before them.
In the previous period, the three of them had already gained some understanding of this great formation. Now, with the addition of those formation records from the jade slip, they gradually began to develop a deeper comprehension of the formation and started to get a grasp on how to break it.
At the same time, within the headquarters of the Guardian Faction, in one of the halls, sat four Advanced Void Gods of the Guardian Faction.
During this period, these four Advanced Void Gods had been in this hall, secluding themselves in quiet meditation.
However, they couldn't truly calm their minds, because they were constantly monitoring the situation outside the headquarters.
"Report to the four lords, Ye Yunfei is still outside studying the formation," a scout from the Guardian Faction hurriedly entered the hall and reported.
"Hmph, that brat Ye Yunfei still refuses to give up, it seems.
This ancient formation passed down at our headquarters was already renowned in ancient times, belonging to one of the highest-level Formations in this void. Though it has experienced extremely long ages, and some of its power has waned, thinking that a junior like Ye Yunfei can break it is pure fantasy."
The white-haired elder snorted coldly.
"Continue scouting. Let's see how long he can stay out there," the white-haired elder then added.
The scout acknowledged the order and then turned to leave.
"To think our Guardian Faction would encounter such a situation. This is truly a great humiliation!" one of the Advanced Void Gods, slightly plump in stature, spoke.
"This is only temporary. The heritage and strength of our Guardian Faction are far beyond what a mere Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds can compare to. Let them bounce around for a while. When the time comes, we'll settle the score with them."
The Advanced Void God in the pale golden robe spoke in a cold, unhurried tone.
"We don't need to bother with them for now. With that great formation outside, they cannot enter," the white-haired elder said, appearing very confident.
"Damn it! I thought after pledging allegiance to the Guardian Faction, I would enjoy great prosperity and prestige. Never expected to encounter such an aggrieving situation now.
Ye Yunfei, just you wait. I won't let you off."
The former Second Chief of the Restorer Faction, who had now also become one of the Advanced Void Gods of the Guardian Faction, felt extremely unwilling in his heart, grinding his teeth as he muttered darkly.
Time slipped by, and before he knew it, another ten days had passed.
Ten days later, Ye Yunfei suddenly revealed an expression of pleasant surprise.
"Now we should be able to enter by breaking through the formation. Of course, not by destroying it, but by traversing it.
This formation can no longer block my path forward."
Ye Yunfei stood up, a cold smile appearing on his face.
After these ten days of unceasing research and analysis, Ye Yunfei, Hun Lao, and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, working together, had finally gained a deep understanding of this great formation before them and were confident they could traverse it and walk inside.
"Since that's the case, then we must act without delay. Attack immediately, destroy the headquarters of the Guardian Faction, and eradicate the biggest tumor in our void."
Ye Yunfei looked at the formation before him, his gaze icy.
Next, Ye Yunfei turned and sent voice transmissions to the Great Leader, Cui Hong, the Flower Goddess Palace Master, and the other high-ranking members of the Alliance Army, telling them to prepare to attack.
"Young Master Ye, can we truly traverse this formation and enter now?"
After receiving Ye Yunfei's voice transmission, the Great Leader trembled with excitement.
"Yes, we can enter."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"That's fantastic!
Guardian Faction, just you wait. The Restorer Faction is coming."
The Great Leader was extremely agitated.
Following Ye Yunfei's command, all the armies of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds prepared to attack.
"Clan Leader Shangguan, thank you. The formation records you gave me have been a great help."
Ye Yunfei's gaze turned to Clan Leader Shangguan as he spoke.
"Young Master Ye, do you mean we can truly enter by breaking the formation now?"
Clan Leader Shangguan was deeply excited.
"Yes. Prepare yourselves. We'll attack the Guardian Faction's headquarters together."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Excellent! I have finally waited for this day!"
Clan Leader Shangguan trembled with excitement.
He looked at the several dozen Deities among the armies of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds and saw hope for revenge.
"Eh? What's happening?"
At this time, most of the crowd that had come to watch earlier had already left, but a small number still remained, wanting to see the final outcome. Now, suddenly seeing movement from the armies of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, they were filled with surprise and doubt.
"The armies of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds are suddenly moving again, regrouping, and seething with killing intent. Do they intend to force their way in?
But that formation is so powerful. Ye Yunfei has been studying it for over half a month and hasn't seen him break it. Can the armies of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds truly force their way in?"
Seeing the armies of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds fully assembled and standing before the formation light barrier with palpable killing intent, everyone couldn't help but speculate.
Meanwhile, within the headquarters of the Guardian Faction, the scouts specifically tasked with monitoring Ye Yunfei and the armies of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds also noticed the changes outside and hurriedly rushed to report to the four Advanced Void Gods.
"Alright, now we attack."
Before the formation light barrier, Ye Yunfei looked at the armies lined up neatly behind him, nodded, and then said clearly.
Rolling waves of sound spread out, echoing through the vast void.
As he spoke, Ye Yunfei took out over a hundred formation-breaking flags. His hands moved in rapid succession as he quickly threw one flag after another into the space ahead.
Rumble…
Suddenly, the space ahead began to tremble violently. The great formation ahead also underwent changes, swaying continuously like water waves.
