"Everyone, withdraw into my Space Treasure immediately."
Ye Yunfei sent a Sound Transmission to all the True Gods in the alliance.
"Young Master Ye, a few of us should stay by your side. We can lend a hand if necessary," one of the Earth Demon Race's ancestors suggested.
"That's unnecessary for now. Everyone enters my Space Treasure. If I need your help, I'll have you come out in time," Ye Yunfei replied.
He then transported everyone into the Phantom Tower.
"Whether it's arrogance depends on before whom it's shown. Before you, we certainly have the right to be arrogant."
Hearing the Guardian Faction expert's words, the two men both wore cold smiles. One of them spoke up.
"Very well, then let me see if you truly have the capability."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man from the Guardian Faction darkened his expression and could restrain himself no longer. He attacked directly.
Eighteen golden spears shot out from within his body. Arrayed in specific positions and imbued with overwhelming might, they whistled through the air as they charged toward the two middle-aged men. Each spear radiated dazzling golden divine light.
However, facing these eighteen murderous spears, the two men showed complete contempt. One of them threw a punch, and a massive fist imprint materialized, entwined with mysterious runes, its divine majesty supreme, and its terrifying energy blotted the sky.
*Clang! Clang! Clang!...*
Following a series of crisp metallic clashes, all eighteen golden spears were knocked flying.
"How is this possible?"
The Guardian Faction middle-aged man could hardly believe it. Each of his eighteen golden spears was a True God-level treasure, and together they formed a set, complementing each other and unleashing a fearsome attack power. He had assumed the other party would need to use treasures of their own to counter his attack, never expecting them to repel all eighteen treasures with a single punch.
"Who exactly are you?
In this Sixth Void, there are already few Heavenly God-level experts, and even fewer with skills as formidable as yours.
You two must not be nobodies!"
The Guardian Faction man took a step back, reached out, and summoned all the scattered golden spears back to hover before him. With a grave expression, he asked.
"Our origins are beneath your notice. Flee if you don't want to die!"
One of the men replied coldly.
"Why waste so much breath on him? Just kill this guy."
The other man stepped forward, and an ancient-looking square cauldron, its original color worn away and indistinct, shot out from within him, rising into the air. It continuously enlarged, and mysterious, profound runes flowed across its massive form.
The energy released by this square cauldron was too terrifying. The surrounding space simply couldn't withstand it, being suppressed and crackling, crumbling apart.
"This guy is also incredibly strong!"
Sensing the horrifying energy emanating from the square cauldron, the Guardian Faction man's pupils contracted involuntarily.
Facing the onrushing cauldron, he dared not be negligent. The eighteen golden spears before him shot forward to meet it, while five other types of treasure, all at the True God level and each radiating roiling divine light, also flew out from within him, rushing to intercept the square cauldron.
*Clang! Clang! Clang!...*
After a rapid succession of deafening metallic impacts, all the treasures were sent flying by the square cauldron. The Guardian Faction man was also sent staggering backward, his face paling noticeably.
"How is this possible?"
He was both shocked and furious, and also deeply unwilling. He had been forced back in just one exchange.
"Both these fellows are so terrifyingly powerful. Where did they come from?
Continuing to fight, I'm clearly no match."
The one who had just attacked him was the other middle-aged man. Now, realizing the terrifying strength of both, thoughts of retreat immediately surfaced. Against one alone, he wasn't confident; against two, even less so.
"Very well. I'll remember today's events."
The Guardian Faction man dared not linger any longer. He turned and left.
With every step he took, a rainbow bridge formed from myriad Great Dao Laws appeared beneath his feet, supporting him. Moving at an astonishing speed, he shot across the void, instantly covering a vast distance.
"Let it go. Let's not bother with him for now. We'll kill him when the opportunity arises later."
The two men standing in front of Ye Yunfei watched the rapidly departing Guardian Faction expert. One of them spoke.
Then, the two men slowly turned, their gaze falling upon Ye Yunfei.
"Thank you, Seniors, for your aid."
Ye Yunfei performed a slight bow and spoke.
He understood that these two men before him were both Heavenly God-level experts.
"No need for formalities. The members of the Guardian Faction are enemies of all inhabitants of the Chaotic Void Sea. Of course, we show them no courtesy when encountered,"
one of the men said with a smile.
"What you say is true, Senior. The Guardian Faction indeed are public enemies."
Hearing this, Ye Yunfei immediately felt a sense of rapport with them.
"These two fellows are both Heavenly Gods. I wonder why they intervened to help you. Could it be simply because they couldn't stand the Guardian Faction members?"
Hun Lao couldn't help but send a Sound Transmission to Ye Yunfei.
"Whatever the reason, they seem to harbor no ill will toward me. As for the rest, I can't concern myself too much."
Ye Yunfei replied.
His Mental Force was continuously improving, and its ability to sense perceptions actually surpassed that of Soul Power, especially when it came to capturing the thoughts and intentions of others.
"Young man, we actually came specifically looking for you."
At that moment, one of the men suddenly spoke.
"Oh? You Seniors came specifically for me? May I ask what business brings you to seek me out?"
Ye Yunfei couldn't help but be taken aback.
"We sought you out to propose a collaboration—to jointly establish a faction dedicated to dealing with the Guardian Faction.
Naturally, we know you have already formed a faction aimed at countering the Guardian Faction. But forgive my bluntness, the overall strength of the faction you've built is still somewhat lacking. It currently lacks the foundation to truly resist the Guardian Faction.
Take that fellow just now, for example. When encountering him, you could only flee.
To put it plainly, if the Guardian Faction truly wished to deal with your alliance, dispatching just a few Heavenly Gods would be enough. You would have no means to fight back."
One of the men stated.
"It seems these two have already investigated you and have a decent understanding of the alliance you've built,"
After hearing the man's words, Hun Lao immediately transmitted to Ye Yunfei.
"Seniors, do you have some personal enmity with the Guardian Faction?"
Hearing this, Ye Yunfei contemplated briefly before asking.
"We bear no personal grudge against the Guardian Faction. However, we want to destroy the Guardian Faction. I believe your thoughts align with ours on this point, which is why we've come to you."
One of the men replied with a smile.
"Are you perhaps suggesting that you two Seniors wish to join the alliance I've formed?"
Ye Yunfei pondered for a moment before asking.
Logically, he should welcome the addition of two Heavenly Gods requesting to join the alliance. However, the origins of these two men were unknown, forcing Ye Yunfei to be extremely cautious.
Opposing the Guardian Faction was an incredibly dangerous undertaking. Since arriving in the Sixth Void, Ye Yunfei had always concealed his true identity and origins. More often than not, he had used the jade Ruyi to mask his aura. Yet now, these two men suddenly showed up, seemingly quite knowledgeable about him. This naturally put Ye Yunfei on guard.
"Young man, there's no need for such suspicion. We harbor no ill will toward you whatsoever. We came to you purely for collaboration, to join forces against the Guardian Faction."
Seeing the flicker of vigilance in Ye Yunfei's eyes, one of the men said with a smile.
"Young man, starting from now, we shall become the Patrons of the alliance you've formed. However, rest assured, we will not interfere in the day-to-day affairs of the alliance. We will only lend our aid when the alliance has need of it.
Furthermore, we can also supply various cultivation resources for the members of the alliance to use. Also, we have quite a few forces under our command here in the Sixth Void. When needed, we can send personnel to assist.
In short, our goal is to establish a faction dedicated to countering the Guardian Faction.
What do you think, young man?"
One of the men looked at Ye Yunfei and said.
"Seniors, from what I understand, the Guardian Faction in the Sixth Void not only possesses Heavenly Gods and God Kings, but may even have stronger experts stationed. Moreover, the Guardian Faction's Sixth Void branch isn't their true headquarters. Their real headquarters is even more terrifyingly powerful."
After some thought, Ye Yunfei spoke.
"Hahaha...
Young man, our understanding of the Guardian Faction far exceeds yours. Don't worry, we are unafraid of Heavenly Gods, God Kings, or even stronger experts.
No matter what level of expert the Guardian Faction dispatches, we can summon correspondingly powerful figures to counter them. If you agree to collaborate with us, we will definitely provide you with sufficiently strong support."
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the two middle-aged men exchanged a look. Then one of them laughed heartily and declared.
"These two fellows sound quite bold. Do they truly possess some horrifying origin?"
Hun Lao couldn't help but remark upon hearing the man's words.
"I think collaborating with them is feasible. After all, the primary purpose of the alliance I formed is to oppose the Guardian Faction. If they truly can provide me with powerful support, it would be a good thing for our alliance."
After some consideration, Ye Yunfei replied to Hun Lao.
