"This fellow is also quite powerful, be careful."
Hun Lao transmitted a reminder to Ye Yunfei.
"Young Master Ye, leave this fellow to me."
Just as Ye Yunfei was about to make his move, a calm voice suddenly rang out. Ye Yunfei then saw a middle-aged Daoist Nun whose elegant demeanor had yet to fade appear before him.
This Daoist Nun held a horsetail whisk in her right hand and raised her left hand in a single upright palm, saluting Ye Yunfei. Then, she swept the whisk in her right hand fiercely forward. Millions of whisk hairs pierced through space like a peacock spreading its tail, shooting towards the body of the old Wizard.
Those whisk hairs continuously enlarged, transforming into what seemed like massive dragons that collectively surged forward with an imposing momentum, shaking the vast void.
The old Wizard, seated cross-legged on the altar, had been rapidly charging towards Ye Yunfei. Suddenly receiving such a terrifying attack, he couldn't help but be greatly startled.
"I am your opponent. Do not disturb Young Master Ye," the middle-aged Daoist Nun said coldly.
As she spoke, her figure flashed, and she rushed towards the old Wizard, unleashing a barrage of fierce attacks.
"I never imagined this old Wizard isn't just skilled in divination; his combat prowess is truly terrifying as well," Hun Lao couldn't help but sigh as he watched the old Wizard and the Daoist Nun engage in fierce combat.
"Indeed, it's hard to believe. This old Wizard is that strong too. He shouldn't be weaker than that Prison Master," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm also chimed in.
"Now that the Prison Master and the old Wizard both have opponents, the coming moments are up to you."
"Old man, didn't you just say the number of your Guardian Faction troops was at least several times, maybe even over ten times, greater than my forces?"
"Now I'll let you see clearly, who actually has the larger army."
Ye Yunfei's gaze turned to the old Wizard as he spoke with a cold laugh.
"Brat, right now the number of troops in our Guardian Faction's army truly is far greater than yours."
"Although you called in two more powerful cultivators, just you wait and see; you cannot win this battle."
The old Wizard, currently being pressed step by step by the Daoist Nun, became enraged upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words and shouted in reply.
The middle-aged Daoist Nun remained silent, a cold smile on her face. The whisk in her hand transformed into a massive divine dragon, engaging the old Wizard in a fierce battle.
At this time, the silver-robed elder and the Prison Master were still locked in intense combat. Their strengths were evenly matched, and both had cultivated numerous sophisticated techniques and secret arts, making the outcome difficult to decide in the short term.
"Oh, really?"
"Fine then, let me show you whose army is truly larger."
Hearing the Wizard's words, Ye Yunfei's face revealed a sarcastic smile. Having said this, he turned and looked towards the distant battlefield.
At this moment, both inside and outside this world, astonishing numbers of troops were locked in combat. The sheer scale of forces deployed by both sides was immense.
The Guardian Faction had mobilized almost all of its main forces stationed in the Sixth Void, including nearly all the troops from its affiliated factions as well.
"All members of the Guardian Faction listening, lay down your weapons immediately, cease resistance, and surrender to our Alliance Army!"
Ye Yunfei suddenly gathered his energy, lifted his voice, and shouted loudly.
Ye Yunfei's voice transformed into rolling waves of sound. It first spread within this world, then transmitted outward into the void beyond. Finally, his voice echoed thunderously throughout the Lingxiao Sect headquarters, even spreading to the void outside the headquarters.
Hearing Ye Yunfei's call, the high-level members of the Guardian Faction were stunned, including the Prison Master and the old Wizard.
"Brat, have you gone mad?"
"How could our Guardian Faction possibly surrender?"
"If anyone is to surrender, it should be your people. After all, your side holds no advantage in this battle and will surely be defeated," the old Wizard immediately sneered and retorted.
"Who says your Guardian Faction won't surrender?"
"Just wait and see!"
Ye Yunfei revealed a mocking smile.
And then, in the next moment.
"Young Master Ye! We are willing to surrender!"
Suddenly, dozens of True Gods from the Guardian Faction simultaneously halted their fighting and shouted in unison.
"We are also willing to surrender!"
Following those dozens of True Gods, several hundred Void Gods joined in the shout.
*What's going on?*
Witnessing this scene, the high-level Guardian Faction members were dumbfounded.
"Unbelievable! Traitors have actually appeared within our Guardian Faction!"
"However, you are but mere insects. Your betrayal is inconsequential to our Guardian Faction."
"Once this battle concludes, you will be purged, and each of you will die a death where your bodies find no burial place!"
Seeing so many True Gods and Void Gods openly declaring their surrender, the old Wizard's face became extremely grim.
"Old man, I've long been disgusted by you. I think it's *you* who deserves a grave-less death!"
"Young Master Ye, we surrender too!"
As soon as the old Wizard finished speaking, someone shouted. Then, a True God from the Guardian Faction stepped forward.
"We are all willing to surrender and pledge our allegiance to Young Master Ye!"
Behind this True God, dozens more True Gods stepped forward, all shouting loudly.
"We are willing to surrender and pledge our allegiance to Young Master Ye!"
Several hundred Void Gods followed behind these dozens of True Gods, raising their voices together.
"You…"
"What are you doing?"
"The ability to become members of our Guardian Faction is a matter of such distinction and glory."
"Our Guardian Faction is on the verge of ruling this void, destined to be its overlord. How dare you, at this moment, speak of surrender and pledging yourselves to this brat! Do you truly not fear the punishment our Guardian Faction will mete out?"
Seeing even more True Gods and Void Gods declare their intent to follow Ye Yunfei, the old Wizard was so enraged his face turned green. He roared at those True and Void Gods.
"Who says the Guardian Faction is about to rule this void? How presumptuous!"
"We are all willing to surrender and join the Alliance Army."
No sooner had the old Wizard finished speaking than more than a dozen additional Guardian Faction True Gods stepped forward, shouting in unison.
"We are willing to surrender too. We want to follow Young Master Ye."
Immediately afterwards, more and more True Gods and Void Gods from the Guardian Faction continued to step forward, yelling loudly.
"You…"
"What in the world are you doing?!"
Watching an ever-increasing number of True and Void Gods emerge, shouting their desire to surrender, the old Wizard, the Prison Master, and the other Guardian Faction leaders finally began to panic.
"How could this happen?"
"What is going on?"
"Why would so many True Gods and Void Gods from our Guardian Faction want to surrender to that brat? What trickery has he pulled?"
The Guardian Faction leaders were all filled with a mixture of shock and fury.
"We all want to surrender! Join the Alliance Army!"
The phenomenon was not limited to within this world. From the void outside, one wave of identical shouts after another echoed, as more and more True Gods and Void Gods from the Guardian Faction proclaimed their desire to surrender and join the Alliance Army.
Standing there, Ye Yunfei watched the scene unfold before him, his face full of a cold sneer.
"Hahaha! This is just too much fun!"
"Old man, just you wait and see! Very soon, you'll know who has the bigger army!"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm felt immensely gratified and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Master, this is just too satisfying!"
"Look at that old Wizard's face; he's so angry he's turned green. He was just boasting that his forces outnumbered ours. He must be dumbfounded now!"
Hu Miao also felt a surge of catharsis, clapping her hands and shouting.
Of course, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm and Hu Miao understood perfectly what was happening. The True Gods and Void Gods shouting their surrender from within the Guardian Faction's ranks were all Ye Yunfei's clones, their every action guided by Ye Yunfei's will.
"We all want to surrender and join the Alliance Army!"
At that moment, even more Guardian Faction True and Void Gods cried out one after another. Their voices rolled thunderously throughout the Lingxiao Sect headquarters, deafening.
"What on earth is going on?"
"Why have all these Guardian Faction members suddenly started shouting about surrender?"
One after another, soldiers of the Alliance Army felt shocked and bewildered, unable to comprehend what was happening.
When the Alliance Army headquarters in the Xuanyang World recently received Ye Yunfei's command, a batch of high-level commanders immediately led troops to participate in the battle at the Lingxiao Sect headquarters. The three ancestor-level figures of the Earth Demon Tribe, Ancestor Liu, and other core leaders were all present.
"This must be Young Master Ye's doing. Everyone, there's no need for surprise. Let's just watch the show," one of the Earth Demon Tribe Ancestors said loudly after initially showing great astonishment.
"Indeed, this must be Young Master Ye's handiwork."
"Young Master Ye's methods are profound and unfathomable, not something we can comprehend."
The other Alliance Army leaders laughed and chimed in.
"Those who made enemies of Young Master Ye, apart from our Alliance Army, are doomed to perish."
"And our Alliance Army, by following Young Master Ye, will surely rise in the future."
"The most correct decision I've ever made in my life was choosing to follow Young Master Ye."
One Alliance Army leader exclaimed, roaring with laughter.
"What? Rise in the future?"
"Our Alliance Army has *already* risen. Just think, among the entire Sixth Void, which power dares to engage the Guardian Faction in open warfare?"
A leader beside him spoke up.
"That makes sense. Now our Alliance Army belongs to the category of powers brave enough to wage open war with the Guardian Faction. How many such powers can you find in the entire Sixth Void?"
The other Alliance Army leaders nodded repeatedly.
"What exactly is going on?"
"Why are these Guardian Faction members suddenly all yelling about surrender?"
The several dozen Heavenly Gods on Ye Yunfei's side who were watching these events felt somewhat disoriented.
"Heh, heh!"
"Young Master Ye's actions are truly unexpected. Admirable, truly admirable!"
The silver-robed elder who was still engaged with the Prison Master, while not knowing what exactly was happening, understood this was undoubtedly Ye Yunfei's doing.
"We are all willing to surrender! Join the Alliance Army! Starting now, we are members of the Alliance Army!"
At this time, more Guardian Faction True Gods and Void Gods voiced their shouts. Immediately after, the core subordinates and close followers of these True and Void Gods followed suit and started shouting too.
"Just what is going on?"
"Brat, what trickery have you pulled?"
"When did you manage to subvert so many people from our Guardian Faction?"
Initially, seeing a portion of True and Void Gods shouting for surrender, though somewhat infuriated, the old Wizard wasn't overly concerned. A minor number of True and Void Gods defecting meant little to the Guardian Faction's overall strength and wouldn't impact the general situation.
But now, with an ever-increasing number clamoring to surrender, he finally couldn't maintain his composure.
