The moment Ye Yunfei landed upon the Profound Huang Continent, a large group of high-ranking figures immediately crowded around.
Ye Yunfei led everyone into the council hall. Since the energy and Dao laws possessed by the Sixth Void were of a higher tier, many of the core high-level members of the Alliance Army chose to be stationed at the headquarters in the Sixth Void. Of course, some of the core leaders had already gone to the branch in the Seventh Void.
"Young Master Ye, during this period, the development of our Alliance Army has been extremely rapid. We have already become the strongest superpower in the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Voids," Kong Lao stepped forward to report.
"Furthermore, beings from these three voids no longer need to pay any energy crystals to travel freely between them at any time. In effect, the three voids have become a single entity," Kong Lao added.
This was a requirement Ye Yunfei had laid down earlier: the teleportation passages between the three voids would initially charge a certain amount of energy crystals for passage, but after some time, once the beings of the three voids became familiar with each other, the fees would be abolished, and no more energy crystals would be required. This was to further promote the complete integration of the three voids.
"Excellent," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Starting now, our Alliance Army will focus on nurturing a group of powers within the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Voids, turning them into our subsidiary forces and helping them develop and grow. This is mainly to expand the scale and overall strength of our Alliance Army and bolster our confidence in confronting the Guardian Faction," Ye Yunfei spoke after hearing Kong Lao's report.
"Young Master Ye, don't worry. Once our Alliance Army makes it known, a large number of powers within these three voids will come seeking our allegiance immediately," an elder from the Earth Demon Clan said.
"We must be selective. We must choose powers that will be loyal to our Alliance Army and have development potential," Ye Yunfei immediately clarified.
"Alright then, Young Master Ye. We will select those valuable powers for focused support," the Earth Demon Clan elder nodded.
Subsequently, Ye Yunfei left the Sixth Void and arrived in the Seventh Void.
The Seventh Void-Sequence had recently experienced a terrible battle.
But that battle was between the Alliance Army led by Ye Yunfei and the Guardian Faction; it did not involve other powers.
After the Guardian Faction was wiped out, the Seventh Void swiftly entered a period of peaceful development as well.
Initially, most powers in the Seventh Void worried whether this suddenly emerged Alliance Army would act tyrannically like the Guardian Faction before, oppressing and exploiting weaker powers, ordering most powers in the void to pay a levy of cultivation resources every so often.
Gradually, however, they discovered that this Alliance Army was the complete opposite of the former Guardian Faction. Not only did it not oppress or exploit any power, it repeatedly encouraged the various world clusters, powers, and races of the Seventh Void-Sequence to strive for development and growth.
Soon after, the various powers of the Seventh Void entered an excellent era of peaceful development.
Ye Yunfei traveled through the Seventh Void and was quite satisfied with the various situations he saw.
"Next are the Fifth Void and the Fourth Void. I wonder how the overall strength of these two voids is?" Ye Yunfei murmured softly.
"Where do you think you're escaping to?!"
Suddenly, a loud roar rang out from the void ahead. Then, Ye Yunfei saw over a dozen women in black clothes being pursued, fleeing in panic, chased by a large group of murderous, ferocious-looking pursuers.
"You can't escape. Just give up and surrender obediently. Don't worry, as long as you can reveal the whereabouts of the Dark Queen, we won't make things difficult for you." A middle-aged man in blue robes standing upon a long spear spoke loudly as he rolled forward in pursuit of the dozen or so women in black.
This middle-aged man in blue was an Advanced True God. By the looks of it, he seemed to be the leader among these pursuers.
Originally, Ye Yunfei had no intention of interfering in conflicts unrelated to him, because in every void, such clashes could occur every day, even every moment. Although Ye Yunfei could prevent major powers within the three voids from engaging in overly intense conflicts, small-scale clashes and skirmishes like these were too numerous to control.
But when Ye Yunfei heard the words 'Dark Queen,' his heart stirred, for he suddenly remembered Lü Dandan.
Lü Dandan's former title had been the Dark Queen, but she had later left the Eighth Void to make her way in the outside world. Ye Yunfei hadn't seen her since.
"I wonder if the Dark Queen they speak of has anything to do with Lü Dandan?" Ye Yunfei wondered inwardly.
Immediately after, Ye Yunfei appeared ahead of the dozen or so women in black who were fleeing in panic, blocking their path.
These women in black were all quite young and very beautiful, standard beauties, though each bore injuries to some extent, their clothes were tattered, and their auras were chaotic, clearly having been through a fight not long ago.
"Kid, who are you? Move aside quickly, or don't blame us for being impolite!" The dozen or so women, rushing along in their escape, suddenly saw someone blocking the way ahead, and a stranger at that. They were stunned for a moment, then one of them shouted at Ye Yunfei.
"This is the Seventh Void; it's not strange that they don't know me," Ye Yunfei thought, looking at them.
Ye Yunfei had spent considerable time making a name for himself in the Eighth and Sixth Voids, frequently appearing in public, so his appearance and aura were widely known, recognized by many. But relatively fewer beings in the Seventh Void would recognize him, because after arriving in the Seventh Void, Ye Yunfei had only acted against the Guardian Faction and its subsidiaries, having little contact with other powers. Moreover, Ye Yunfei had eradicated the Guardian Faction in the Seventh Void in an extremely short time, so news of his appearance and aura hadn't spread widely.
"Do you know the Dark Queen?" Ye Yunfei looked at the dozen or so women in black.
"Not good. Seems this fellow is an ally of those pursuers behind, also here for the Dark Queen. Let's just kill our way through," hearing Ye Yunfei's question, the faces of the dozen or so women changed, and they all revealed murderous glints in their eyes.
"Kid, scram if you don't want to die!" The woman in black leading the charge directly drew a longsword, and like a black meteor, she instantly struck before Ye Yunfei. Then she raised her sword and stabbed fiercely towards Ye Yunfei.
This woman in black was an Advanced True God; relative to her realm, her combat prowess was quite impressive.
Countless razor-sharp sword energies instantly came into being, attacking and grinding towards Ye Yunfei from different directions.
Ye Yunfei stood there with his hands clasped behind his back, his expression indifferent. He extended two fingers and lightly clamped them, pinching the longsword thrust by the woman between his two fingers.
"How is this possible?!" The woman in black had unleashed her strongest killing move from the get-go, only to have it effortlessly broken by the opponent's casual grasp. Her face instantly changed drastically, unable to believe it.
"Hahaha… Where do you little wenches think you're escaping to?!" The pursuers from behind had caught up. Seeing the dozen or so women had stopped, they roared with laughter and surrounded them.
"We're finished!" These dozen or so women had paused for only an extremely short moment, and the pursuers from behind had already caught up.
"Kill this kid together, break through the encirclement!" The dozen or so women gritted their teeth and simultaneously drew their swords. Moreover, they took out over ten True God-level magic treasures and attacked Ye Yunfei together. They believed the position where Ye Yunfei stood was the weakest point; to break out, they had to start from Ye Yunfei's location.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
One magic treasure after another, one sword after another continuously attacked Ye Yunfei in an instant. Ye Yunfei, with his left hand clasped behind his back, extended a finger on his right hand and flicked it repeatedly towards the front, effortlessly blocking all the assaults from the dozen or so women in black.
"How is this possible?!" Seeing the opponent use only a single finger, casually and with an air of indifference, to easily block the combined assault of over ten of them, the faces of the dozen or so women paled with fright. They finally understood that this strange young man before them was far stronger than they were.
The pursuers at the back, witnessing this scene, also wore grave expressions one after another.
"Esteemed friend, thank you very much for helping us block these little wenches. This is a token of our appreciation. We hope you will accept it, then hand over these dozen or so wenches for us to deal with," The man leading the pursuers took a step forward, spoke in a clear voice, then flicked his finger, sending a spatial ring before Ye Yunfei.
"No need to worry. I bear you no malice. I merely wish to ask if you know the Dark Queen. What is the name of the Dark Queen you know? As long as you can answer my questions properly, I guarantee you will be safe," Ye Yunfei paid no attention to the man, nor did he look at the spatial ring. Instead, he looked at the dozen or so women in black and asked gently.
"Esteemed friend, what do you mean by this? We are here specifically to pursue and kill these little wenches. These wenches have provoked us; we must seek justice. We hope you will not interfere and hand them over to us. Consider it that you will owe us a favor; we will certainly repay you in the future," Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the face of the leading man changed slightly, and he spoke.
Having witnessed Ye Yunfei's moves earlier, he knew Ye Yunfei's strength was likely very formidable. Unless absolutely forced, he wasn't keen on clashing with Ye Yunfei.
"Young Master, may I ask who exactly you are? Why are you blocking our path without any reason?" At this moment, hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the dozen or so women in black were also somewhat dazed, unsure of his true intentions. Furthermore, they also perceived that Ye Yunfei didn't seem to be in cahoots with the pursuers behind.
"I just said I only wish to inquire about matters related to the Dark Queen. You can directly answer my questions. I can guarantee your safety," Ye Yunfei said blandly.
"Esteemed friend, did you not hear what I just said? These wenches have provoked us; we must seek recompense from them. Hurry and move aside, lest we come into conflict," Seeing that Ye Yunfei completely ignored him, the man's face began to darken.
