In truth, Ye Yunfei already knew long ago that the Guardian Faction would definitely return to the Eighth Void. He had previously instructed Elder Qi to deploy more scouts throughout the Eighth Void to keep a constant watch on developments there.
"Pass down the order: Immediately mobilize a contingent of troops, prepare to head to the Eighth Void, and intercept the Guardian Faction army," Ye Yunfei slowly said.
With the Guardian Faction army returning to the Eighth Void, Ye Yunfei naturally could not sit idle; his first reaction was to return there.
Following Ye Yunfei's command, it wasn't long before a large army was selected and stood in orderly ranks high above the Xuanhuang Continent.
War beasts roared, battle flags blotted out the sky, and a palpable aura of slaughter filled the air.
Leading the army were twelve Heavenly Gods, among them two Demon Tribe ancestors who had joined this force.
Over this period, the Alliance Army had produced more and more Heavenly Gods, while the numbers of Void Gods and True Gods had increased even more.
In fact, the sheer number of Void Gods held little significance for Ye Yunfei anymore, as the number of Void God-level puppets in his possession was already approaching one hundred thousand.
"Young Master Ye, we are here as well."
At this moment, a voice rang out. A silver-robed elder and a middle-aged daoist nun simultaneously appeared in the sky above the Xuanhuang Continent and instantly landed beside Ye Yunfei.
"You two seniors have come as well," Ye Yunfei said in pleasant surprise upon seeing them.
"After receiving the news, we immediately organized our troops and rushed here to join you, Young Master Ye, because we knew you would definitely return to the Eighth Void.
Our primary duty is to deal with the Guardian Faction, so how could we be missing on such an occasion?" the silver-robed elder said with a smile.
"With the two of you seniors here, we can definitely easily wipe out all the invading Guardian Faction forces in the Eighth Void," Ye Yunfei said happily.
"Haha… Young Master Ye, we dare not boast of our strength before you.
Moreover, our purpose in being stationed back in the Sixth Void was to act according to your command, Young Master Ye, and follow your orders," the silver-robed elder said with a laugh.
"You honor me too much, Senior," Ye Yunfei replied hurriedly.
"Young Master Ye, our troops are already waiting outside. We can depart at any time," the middle-aged daoist nun spoke up.
"Very well, we shall depart now, heading to the Eighth Void at the fastest speed," Ye Yunfei nodded.
Then, following Ye Yunfei's command, the massive Alliance Army marched out of the Xuanhuang Great World and into the void beyond.
A second army was already waiting there in the void. The two armies converged and set off together toward the Eighth Void.
Ye Yunfei now controlled many more teleportation channels leading to the Eighth Void. These channels were previously held by various major powers. But now, as the supreme ruler of the Sixth Void and with the Alliance Army being this void's strongest superpower, he had located and seized control over many more inter-void teleportation routes.
It wasn't long before Ye Yunfei led his army to the teleportation channel nearest to the Xuanhuang Continent.
"The Guardian Faction's dream of returning to the Eighth Void is pure fantasy. No matter how many come, I'll kill them all," Ye Yunfei said coldly, his eyes narrowed as he looked at the teleportation channel before him.
A frightening killing intent radiated from Ye Yunfei, instantly dropping the temperature of the surrounding void by a significant margin.
The silver-robed elder and middle-aged daoist nun, standing beside Ye Yunfei, sensed this terrifying aura and were secretly shocked. They felt that Ye Yunfei's strength seemed to have risen considerably yet again.
With a wave of his hand, Ye Yunfei then led the army behind him into the teleportation channel before them.
At this moment, the Eighth Void was shrouded in the crisis of war.
Not long ago, the Guardian Faction army had suddenly returned, appearing within the Eighth Void.
Upon their return, the Guardian Faction army immediately made a public proclamation: In the Eighth Void, any forces or living beings related to Ye Yunfei were to be exterminated.
The Guardian Faction army then began to act, marching toward the headquarters of the Alliance Army of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
Along the way, any world clusters, powers, or living beings they encountered that had ties to Ye Yunfei were slaughtered without exception, leaving neither chicken nor dog alive.
In just a day or two, numerous world clusters in the Eighth Void had been completely butchered.
Fortunately, the location where this Guardian Faction army entered the Eighth Void was relatively far from the Alliance Army's headquarters.
Furthermore, their march progressed at a slow pace, so they had not yet reached the Alliance Army's base.
This Guardian Faction army that had suddenly barged in completely shattered the peace of the Eighth Void, blanketing the entire void once more in a thick miasma of blood and gore. It felt like a colossal mountain weighing down on the hearts of every living being in the Eighth Void.
Everyone understood that this time, the Guardian Faction's return to the Eighth Void would be exceptionally brutal, precisely because they had suffered two successive defeats in this void.
Within the council hall of the Alliance Army headquarters in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, a large group of the Alliance Army's high-ranking officers was gathered.
Each wore an expression of anxiety and agitation, unable to sit still.
For the past two days, continuous reports about the Guardian Faction's actions had poured in. The news of one world cluster and power after another affiliated with the Alliance Army being destroyed drove these high-ranking officers frantic with worry and blazing with fury.
It was well known that the Alliance Army was originally formed from the forces of many different world clusters and powers. Most of those destroyed by the Guardian Faction over these two days were among the world clusters and powers that constituted the Alliance Army.
In the hall, some high-ranking officers clenched their fists, gnashed their teeth, and burned with towering rage, their bodies trembling slightly. Their affiliated world clusters or powers had already been massacred.
"Guardian Faction! I am irreconcilably opposed to you!" some officers growled in low tones, almost grinding their teeth to dust.
"Report! The Guardian Faction army is getting closer and closer to our Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds!"
At this moment, a scout rushed urgently into the hall and shouted his report.
"Let us immediately assemble our men and fight those Guardian Faction bastards to the death!"
Immediately, several high-ranking officers jumped to their feet, roaring in unison, desperate to rush out and engage in a life-and-death struggle.
"Everyone, please calm down. There is no need to worry. My true body will be returning very soon."
Right at this moment, Ye Yunfei walked in. He swept his gaze over the gathered high-ranking officers of the Alliance Army in the hall before speaking.
"Young Master Ye, your true body will be returning soon?"
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the Alliance Army officers in the hall immediately wore expressions of pleasant surprise.
"Yes, my true body is about to return. When it does, I will assuredly exterminate all Guardian Faction forces that have invaded our Eighth Void," Ye Yunfei nodded.
This was a clone Ye Yunfei had left behind in the Eighth Void.
