“Everyone, do you think that sudden fall of the True God from the Guardian Faction outside earlier could be related to this young man?”
One of the elders suddenly sent a sound transmission to the others.
Hearing this elder's words, everyone was inwardly shaken. They all looked at Ye Yunfei walking at the head of the Green Mountain Sect procession.
Seeing the Green Mountain Sect members following behind, it was clear to all that they regarded Ye Yunfei as their leader.
“The Green Mountain Sect's strength is comparable to our Beidou Sect's. For their members to willingly follow this young man now, his background must be truly astonishing. Moreover, this young man is clearly hostile to the Guardian Faction. Colleagues, our Beidou Sect is now in a state of enmity with the Guardian Faction. If we seek allies, isn't this young man before us the best choice? Why wait any longer?”
An Elder from the Ancestral Hall suddenly spoke.
“Elder, what you say makes sense. Then let us hesitate no longer.”
The Sect Leader of the Beidou Sect immediately nodded, then flashed through space, chasing after Ye Yunfei.
All the other senior members of the Beidou Sect understood the Sect Leader's intention and similarly mobilized their movement techniques, following close behind.
“Young master, please hold your step!”
The Beidou Sect Leader soon arrived behind Ye Yunfei and respectfully called out.
Ye Yunfei's footsteps paused as he halted, then slowly turned around.
“Young master, from this moment on, our Beidou Sect is willing to join you in jointly opposing the Guardian Faction,” the Beidou Sect Leader stepped forward and stated.
“Very well.”
Ye Yunfei nodded slightly. He was not surprised by the decision of these Beidou Sect seniors, as anyone could see the Guardian Faction would never let the Beidou Sect off.
“Young master, please come to our Beidou Sect's headquarters for more detailed discussions,” the Beidou Sect Leader added, his attitude extremely respectful.
He saw the senior members of the Green Mountain Sect standing expressionlessly behind Ye Yunfei, hands hanging respectfully by their sides like servants, and felt even more shocked. The Green Mountain Sect's power was roughly equal to the Beidou Sect's. How could they treat this young man with such deference?
“There's no need for discussions. What the Beidou Sect must do is urgently boost its strength. Furthermore, the Green Mountain Sect, the Liu Family, the Earth Demon Clan, the Tianmen Sect—these factions are now all part of the same alliance, comrades-in-arms. Starting now, your Beidou Sect has also joined this alliance. This alliance will continue to develop and expand, its collective power growing ever stronger.”
Ye Yunfei spoke casually.
“So many forces have already joined this alliance!”
The Beidou Sect seniors were both astonished and delighted upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words.
The Liu Family, Earth Demon Clan, and Tianmen Sect were all famous major powers in the Sixth Void. For the Beidou Sect to have the chance to ally with them felt somewhat like rising above its station.
“I have here a batch of medicinal pills quite suited for your Beidou Sect's Deities. Take them and distribute them among everyone. From now on, have all members focus their primary time and effort on cultivation, striving to enhance their strength as swiftly as possible.”
With a wave of his hand, Ye Yunfei took out a large batch of Divine Pills and sent them floating before the Beidou Sect Leader.
Ye Yunfei had once stayed within the Beidou Sect in the Central Region for a time, and had carefully sensed all their Deities. Thus, he had long since refined a batch of pills specifically targeted for these senior members of the Beidou Sect.
“These are all Divine Pills!”
The Beidou Sect seniors stared at the dense cluster of jade vials containing pills floating before their Sect Leader, sensing the aura of Divine Pills emanating from them. They couldn't help but feel utterly astounded.
“Young master, these pills are far too precious!”
The Beidou Sect Leader stared blankly at the dense array of Divine Pills before him for a moment before collecting himself, then spoke in a trembling voice.
“Accept them. These pills are nothing to me. The most important thing now is for your Beidou Sect to increase its strength. If you need any specific pills later, you can tell me directly.”
Ye Yunfei replied mildly.
With Ye Yunfei's alchemy level, helping the Beidou Sect improve its strength was far too simple. Even powers like the Liu Family and Earth Demon Clan, both stronger than the Beidou Sect, had doubled their strength in a short time with Ye Yunfei's aid.
“Young master…”
Even after hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the Beidou Sect Leader still hesitated, not daring to reach out and take them.
“Take them. They are merely some pills; there's no need to regard them so heavily.”
Ye Yunfei spoke again.
Given Ye Yunfei's current alchemy skills, he truly didn't place much value on pills of this Void God grade.
“Well then, young master, I will not stand on ceremony.”
The Beidou Sect Leader gritted his teeth and finally collected all the Divine Pills floating before him, his expression one of extreme excitement.
“What is this young master's true background? He is far too generous, gifting our Beidou Sect so many precious Divine Pills at once. I sense that among these pills are many at the perfected Void God level. Every single one is immensely valuable; their combined value is astronomical. Yet he simply handed them out as if they were nothing!”
At this moment, the Beidou Sect seniors were all excitedly discussing amongst themselves via sound transmission.
“There is another issue. The Guardian Faction has suffered significant losses here at your Beidou Sect—three affiliated forces annihilated and a True God slain. Next, the Guardian Faction will certainly retaliate against your Beidou Sect with madness. Therefore, your Beidou Sect members cannot remain here.”
Ye Yunfei glanced over the Beidou Sect headquarters, then spoke.
“Young master, you are right. With a True God of the Guardian Faction fallen at our Beidou Sect, they are certain to send more experts and greater numbers to deal with us… that is, with our Beidou Sect. With our current strength, staying here would surely lead to the sect's destruction.”
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the Beidou Sect Leader's heart jolted, and he nodded in agreement.
“What this young master says is correct, Sect Leader. We must immediately evacuate everyone from the headquarters. I estimate the Guardian Faction might have already dispatched forces toward our Beidou Sect. We cannot linger here any longer; the sooner we leave, the better.”
An Elder from the Ancestral Hall voiced his worry.
“Very well. Relay my order: have everyone in the headquarters gather their belongings as quickly as possible and prepare to evacuate.”
The Sect Leader declared loudly.
Immediately, more than half of the senior members turned and left to arrange the headquarters' evacuation.
The entire Beidou Sect headquarters grew lively as people everywhere began packing.
“Sect Leader, after we leave headquarters, where shall we go? To our secret bases?”
One elder sent a sound transmission to the Beidou Sect Leader.
The Beidou Sect Leader pondered for a moment, then looked toward Ye Yunfei.
“Young master, after leaving headquarters, we plan to split into batches and settle in several secret bases,” the Beidou Sect Leader approached Ye Yunfei and stated.
“Are your Beidou Sect's secret bases safe? If needed, you can seek shelter with the Liu Family or the Earth Demon Clan.”
Ye Yunfei said.
“Young master, those secret bases were left behind by our Beidou Sect's ancestors. They have existed for a long time, and only a few of us core seniors know their exact locations. They should be secure.”
The Beidou Sect Leader replied.
“Very well. I will send word if anything arises later. In the coming period, your Beidou Sect's main task will be to devote yourselves to cultivation and increase your strength. Sooner or later, a great decisive battle will occur between our alliance and the Guardian Faction. Your Beidou Sect cannot stand apart when that time comes.”
Ye Yunfei nodded and said.
“Rest assured, young master. From now on, if there is anything you need the Beidou Sect to do, simply speak, and we will never refuse.”
The Beidou Sect Leader hurriedly pledged.
“Also, I will visit your secret bases periodically to assist you in boosting your strength.”
Ye Yunfei added.
“Then I must trouble you, young master!”
Upon hearing this, the Beidou Sect Leader's spirits visibly lifted. Though he did not know what method Ye Yunfei intended to use to help boost the Beidou Sect's power, the fact that this young man had so casually gifted such a valuable batch of Divine Pills alone proved his background was extraordinary and worthy of trust.
The Beidou Sect Leader immediately took out a jade slip and handed it to Ye Yunfei. This slip contained the specific spatial coordinates of several Beidou Sect secret bases.
Soon after, everyone in the Beidou Sect headquarters had finished packing. The Sect Leader and several Elders from the Ancestral Hall bid farewell to Ye Yunfei, then divided their forces into several groups and quietly departed the headquarters.
Ye Yunfei remained behind. In the void outside the Beidou Sect headquarters, he laid down a batch of Earth Formations.
Then, Ye Yunfei entered the Beidou Sect headquarters itself and laid down another large batch of Earth Formations inside.
The continent that served as the Beidou Sect headquarters was originally a land rich in earth energy. Ye Yunfei used his Geomancy Technique to mobilize the earth energy of this continent, establishing some extremely advanced Earth Formations.
Afterwards, Ye Yunfei used the Jade Ruyi to conceal himself, hiding within one of the Earth Formations.
Not long after, a mighty army surged toward them from the distant void, exuding killing intent. Leading them were, astonishingly, two True Gods.
“So, the Guardian Faction's forces have truly arrived,” Hun Lao couldn't help but laugh.
