"The Guardian Faction's three True Gods are about to arrive, Young Master. Please enter the headquarters of our Liu Family. Our headquarters is equipped with many advanced Formations that should be able to hold them off for a while."
The Liu Family Head said to Ye Yunfei.
"Very well, let's go inside to discuss."
Ye Yunfei nodded, then followed the Liu Family Head into the Everlasting Spring World Cluster, arriving within the Liu Family headquarters.
The Liu Family headquarters was located within the largest world of the Everlasting Spring World Cluster; this world was called Liu World.
"Patriarch, what do you make of this young man?"
As soon as Ye Yunfei entered Liu World, the Liu Family Head immediately sent a Sound Transmission to inquire of the Patriarch, knowing full well that the Patriarch was certainly sensing Ye Yunfei's situation.
"This young man is unfathomable, even I cannot see through him.
His willingness to cooperate with our Liu Family is a tremendous boon for us. Befriend him well.
Our Liu Family is now locked in a life-or-death struggle with the Guardian Faction. Every powerful ally we gain adds another sliver of hope."
Indeed, the Liu Family Patriarch had been sensing Ye Yunfei's situation all along. It was just that he was shocked to find himself unable to see through this young man, so he sent his Sound Transmission reply to the Family Head.
"Even you, Patriarch, cannot see through this young master?"
Upon receiving the Patriarch's Sound Transmission, the Liu Family Head was taken aback.
From then on, his attitude towards Ye Yunfei became even more respectful.
He hurriedly invited Ye Yunfei to be seated in the Liu Family's main conference hall.
After the Liu Family Head led everyone into the headquarters, all the Formations inside and outside the Liu Family headquarters activated simultaneously. For a moment, the roaring sounds of Formation energy were everywhere.
Almost the entire Liu Family's forces poured out, implementing a strict defense inside and outside the headquarters.
Ye Yunfei sensed the situation within and around the Liu Family headquarters and nodded inwardly.
This Liu Family truly deserved its reputation as a famous major power in the Sixth Void. Just Perfected Void Gods alone numbered in the dozens, and the number of other-level Virtual Gods was even greater. Moreover, the sheer number and scale of the Liu Family's forces were immense.
"The scale of this Liu Family is quite good.
But the question is, just how many True Gods does the Liu Family have?
In this Sixth Void, the true measure of a power's strength primarily lies in the number of True Gods."
Hun Lao sent a Sound Transmission to Ye Yunfei.
"Indeed, I wonder how many True Gods the Liu Family has.
One thing is for certain, though: the Liu Family has at least one True God. I sensed a tremendously powerful Soul Force energy continuously focused on me earlier. The owner of that Soul Force energy must be a True God."
Ye Yunfei nodded and replied via Sound Transmission.
At the same time, outside the Everlasting Spring World Cluster, more than a dozen units of Liu Family personnel were patrolling back and forth on defense.
Suddenly, in the void far away, three colossal figures appeared. The moment they materialized, they unleashed terrifyingly extreme energy pressure, vast and overwhelming, rolling towards the Everlasting Spring World Cluster like a roiling ocean.
Ah……
One by one, the Liu Family members patrolling and defending outside the Everlasting Spring World Cluster issued miserable shrieks, their physical bodies exploding into showers of bloody fireworks, scattering with the wind.
In less than the space of a breath, all the Liu Family forces patrolling and defending in the void surrounding the Everlasting Spring World Cluster had perished, not a single one left.
"The Liu Family dares to kill members of our Guardian Faction. There's no need for them to continue existing.
From this day forward, the Liu Family shall be erased from the Sixth Void."
Those three colossal figures arrived directly outside the Everlasting Spring World Cluster. The endless void trembled and shook violently with their arrival, as if unable to bear their presence. One of the figures slowly began to speak.
These three colossal figures were the Guardian Faction's three True Gods. On their way, they had encountered the remnants of the Guardian Faction's army who had fled back from the Everlasting Spring World Cluster and learned what had transpired. Thus, the three True Gods were full of rage, their killing intent soaring.
"Oh no! Guardian Faction's True God experts have arrived!"
At this moment, everyone within the Liu Family in the Everlasting Spring World Cluster felt the terrifying energy pressure released by these three True Gods.
"Young Master Ye! You were right, Guardian Faction has indeed sent three True Gods!"
Inside the conference hall of the Liu Family, the Liu Family Head immediately stood up, a touch of panic evident. After all, the pressure on the Liu Family from three True Gods arriving together was immense.
"Your Guardian Faction's great army came to attack our Liu Family headquarters, loudly declaring they would annihilate us. Our Liu Family was merely putting up normal resistance."
In the void of the Everlasting Spring World Cluster, a colossal figure suddenly began to materialize slowly, solidifying from illusory form until finally, an elderly man with white hair and beard appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Patriarch!"
Seeing this old man, many of the Liu Family's higher-ups immediately rushed forward to pay their respects with reverence, then stood behind the old man, confronting the three Guardian Faction True Gods outside.
"Your Liu Family need not waste words with excuses. In the Sixth Void, there is no power that dares kill so many from our Guardian Faction.
If we do not annihilate your Liu Family today, others will think our Guardian Faction is easy to push around.
Very well, I now offer your Liu Family a chance. If all your Liu Family's higher-ups come out, kneel before me, and commit suicide in apology for your crimes, then I can consider sparing your Liu Family's younger generation. This will let your Liu Family retain a bit of bloodline, so you won't have your lineage severed.
If your Liu Family stubbornly refuses to see reason and does not do as I say, then we shall have no choice but to kill our way in, slaughtering every last person in your Liu Family from the highest to the lowest, leaving not even a chicken or a dog alive."
One of the Guardian Faction True Gods spoke in a sinisterly cold voice.
All three Guardian Faction True Gods released their energy pressure, vast and overwhelming as it crushed into the Everlasting Spring World Cluster. The entire cluster rocked and shook. Everyone within felt immense pressure.
Many of the weaker individuals, sensing the energy pressure of three True Gods, were unable to stand, collapsing weakly onto the ground one after another, trembling uncontrollably.
"Your Guardian Faction is far too arrogant, far too oppressive!
It was your Guardian Faction that first dispatched a great army to deal with our Liu Family. Are we of the Liu Family not even permitted to resist?"
Many Liu Family higher-ups couldn't hold back their furious roars.
"There aren't that many principles in this world to talk about. Whoever has the bigger fist holds the principles.
Your Liu Family's strength does not match our Guardian Faction's, yet you dared to kill our people. Thus, you deserve to be annihilated."
Another one of the Guardian Faction's True Gods chuckled coldly.
"Although your Guardian Faction is strong, our Liu Family has inherited across vast ages in the Sixth Void. We are not something you can simply wipe out as you please."
The Liu Family Patriarch's expression was exceedingly gloomy as he slowly spoke.
"Hahaha…
To think a mere Liu Family would dare spout such big words before us. It seems your Liu Family does not intend to follow my earlier instructions.
Very well. Since you won't come out to kowtow, apologize, and commit suicide, then we shall simply kill our way in."
A True God of the Guardian Faction laughed uproariously. As soon as his voice fell, all three True Gods simultaneously stepped forward, walking into the Everlasting Spring World Cluster.
Boom! Boom! Boom…
The moment these three True Gods stepped into the Everlasting Spring World Cluster, vast numbers of Formations continuously appeared before them: one brilliant Formation light barrier after another, layer upon layer, creating a truly shocking scene.
As a major power that had inherited across vast ages, the Liu Family's heritage ran deep. Over past epochs, they had long expended tremendous manpower and resources to arrange a massive number of defensive Formations inside and outside their headquarters.
Generation after generation of Liu Family higher-ups continuously strengthened the headquarters' defensive power. The accumulated number of Formations was quite astonishing.
"It seems this Liu Family is rather fond of using Formations for defense."
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, seeing those endless streams of Formation light barriers materializing within the Everlasting Spring World Cluster, couldn't help but remark.
"Some of these Formations were arranged in ancient times, others in modern times. Their grades are all quite good. But using these Formations to stop three True Gods... it still falls a little short."
Ye Yunfei, sensing those Formations, spoke up.
"Could a few puny Formations truly hope to block our advance?"
The three True Gods of the Guardian Faction seemed to have already anticipated this situation, revealing looks of disdain.
The Guardian Faction had long harbored intentions to annex or annihilate the Liu Family, so they had conducted detailed investigations into all aspects of the Liu Family long ago.
They knew before coming that many defensive Formations were arranged within the Liu Family headquarters.
Rumble!
Suddenly, from within one of the Guardian Faction True Gods' bodies, eighteen black Formation Flags shot out, soaring into the air, constantly enlarging. Then, the eighteen black Formation Flags simultaneously shot forward.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Those Formations within the Everlasting Spring World Cluster, upon encountering these black Formation Flags, unexpectedly exploded and shattered one after another. A large swath of them was broken through in an instant.
"Those are True God-grade Formation Breaking Flags!"
Seeing those eighteen black Formation Breaking Flags, Ye Yunfei was somewhat startled. Even though Ye Yunfei now possessed many True God-grade magic treasures, True God-grade Formation Breaking Flags were relatively rare.
"With those eighteen Formation Breaking Flags, it will become much easier for those three to break the Formations of the Liu Family headquarters.
It seems the Formations of the Liu Family headquarters won't be able to block them for too long. I wonder just how many True Gods the Liu Family has?
If the Liu Family only has the Patriarch as a True God, they might not be a match!"
Hun Lao couldn't help but feel somewhat concerned.
"All three of these fellows from the Guardian Faction are the lowest-level True Gods. If the Liu Family Patriarch and I join forces, we should be able to barely hold off these three. But if the Guardian Faction sends more True Gods later, it will be very difficult to handle."
Ye Yunfei had been constantly sensing the energy auras of the three Guardian Faction True Gods and spoke openly.
