The two Heavenly Gods and several dozen True Gods sensed a terrifying pressure of energy, first being forced to stagger back, and then being completely suppressed, standing frozen in place with horror on their faces.
"How is this possible?"
Only at this moment did the two Heavenly Gods and the several dozen True Gods realize that this unfamiliar young man before them was actually an Advanced Heavenly God.
Of the Guhai Sect's two Heavenly Gods, one was an Intermediate Heavenly God, and the other a Initial Heavenly God.
Not to mention anything else, just the energy pressure Ye Yunfei released was something they could no longer withstand.
As for the other True Gods, they were simply unable to speak while standing there.
Although Ye Yunfei had not unleashed a particularly powerful energy pressure, for them, the pressure from an Advanced Heavenly God was simply too terrifying. They were finding it extremely difficult to breathe.
"Elder, spare us!"
Some of the Guhai Sect's True Gods, their hearts filled with absolute terror, couldn't help but cry out to Ye Yunfei for mercy.
Faced with Ye Yunfei's energy pressure, an irrepressible sense of fear arose from the depths of their Soul Bodies.
"Young Master, let's talk things out properly. We were rude earlier, please do not take offense. What is it you wish to ask us?"
At this point, the two Heavenly Gods also began to submit. One of them spoke up, his tone becoming much more polite.
After all, in most situations, the strong always command respect.
Previously, these two Heavenly Gods thought Ye Yunfei was merely a junior, hence their casual and arrogant attitude. But now they had discovered Ye Yunfei's strength and cultivation level were superior to theirs; they had no choice but to lower their heads.
"Wouldn't it have been better to have this attitude from the start?" Ye Yunfei said lightly.
"I want to know the specifics about the Guardian Faction in the Third Void. Tell me everything you know." Ye Yunfei's gaze fixed on the two Heavenly Gods as he asked.
While asking the question, Ye Yunfei employed the Mind Reading Art, beginning to read the thoughts and intentions of these two Heavenly Gods and the surrounding True Gods.
Ye Yunfei knew that within this Third Void, the Guardian Faction's overall strength was undoubtedly immense, and they would have numerous subsidiary forces. Therefore, Ye Yunfei wanted to determine if the Guhai Sect had any relationship with the Guardian Faction.
If the Guhai Sect was a subsidiary of the Guardian Faction, then Ye Yunfei would not hesitate to seize control of these people before him.
"Young Master, you want to know about the Guardian Faction?"
Hearing Ye Yunfei's question, the two Guhai Sect Heavenly Gods were momentarily stunned.
"Young Master, could it be that you are not from our Third Void?"
This possibility suddenly occurred to them.
Because the Guardian Faction was a superpower in the Third Void, and their every move was a focal point of this void.
If someone was from the Third Void, they would certainly have some understanding of the Guardian Faction and wouldn't need to ask others about it.
"You only need to answer, not ask questions," Ye Yunfei said coldly.
"Alright then, Young Master, I shall tell you the specifics about the Guardian Faction in the Third Void," the Intermediate Heavenly God said.
He knew silence was not an option. Offending this terrifying stranger would have unpredictable consequences.
Thus, this Heavenly God began describing the various aspects of the Guardian Faction in the Third Void.
Within this Third Void, there were three generally acknowledged superpowers, and the Guardian Faction was one of them.
In the past, the Guardian Faction could still coexist peacefully with other forces in this void. However, in recent years, the Guardian Faction had made increasingly significant moves, expanding their territory everywhere, annexing more and more large and small factions, their scale continuously growing and developing rapidly.
All beings in this void knew the Guardian Faction was ambitious, but their overall strength was overwhelming. Not to mention ordinary factions, even the other two superpowers were unwilling to confront the Guardian Faction head-on. Thus, everyone watched helplessly as the Guardian Faction continued to develop and expand, gradually becoming the superpower that inspired fear wherever they went.
"It's roughly as I imagined," Ye Yunfei nodded inwardly after listening to the Heavenly God's account.
Ye Yunfei knew that the Guardian Faction was now accelerating the pace of their expansion in every void.
"Haven't the various factions in your void united to resist the Guardian Faction?" Ye Yunfei pondered, then asked.
"The Guardian Faction is one of the three superpowers in our void. Only the other two superpowers possess the strength to contend with them. However, those other two superpowers seem unwilling to oppose the Guardian Faction. The rest are even less daring to stand up against them.
However, a mysterious force later suddenly emerged, dedicated to opposing the Guardian Faction.
This force operates discreetly, appearing and disappearing without a trace. No one knows where they came from or why they actively oppose the Guardian Faction.
Apart from this mysterious force, there are temporarily no other factions in our Third Void who dare to openly confront the Guardian Faction.
Although everyone knows the Guardian Faction is wolfishly ambitious, intent on dominating this void, they are simply too powerful. No one wants to be the first one to stick their neck out."
The Intermediate Heavenly God sighed as he answered.
"A mysterious force that suddenly appeared, specializing in opposing the Guardian Faction... could it be those two Seniors?" Hearing the Intermediate Heavenly God's words, Ye Yunfei's mind stirred, and two familiar figures immediately surfaced in his thoughts.
"And what about your Guhai Sect? What is your Guhai Sect's relationship with the Guardian Faction?" Ye Yunfei suddenly asked.
Throughout the Intermediate Heavenly God's account, Ye Yunfei had been reading his thoughts and intentions and had already learned that the Guhai Sect was not a subsidiary force of the Guardian Faction. Consequently, Ye Yunfei abandoned the idea of dealing with these Guhai Sect members.
Hearing Ye Yunfei's question, the Intermediate Heavenly God's heart skipped a beat.
"Young Master, why do you ask?"
Not answering Ye Yunfei's question, the Intermediate Heavenly God hesitated for a moment before gathering his courage to ask.
"I merely wish to know the relationship between your Guhai Sect and the Guardian Faction," Ye Yunfei replied calmly.
"Young Master, may I ask if you are a friend or foe of the Guardian Faction?"
The Intermediate Heavenly God still did not answer Ye Yunfei's question but instead countered with a question.
He couldn't gauge Ye Yunfei's true stance towards the Guardian Faction and feared a careless answer would enrage this terrifyingly strong youth.
"You only need to answer my question," Ye Yunfei's expression darkened.
"I'll be honest, Young Master. So far, there hasn't been much direct interaction between our Guhai Sect and the Guardian Faction. However, our Guhai Sect does tribute a batch of cultivation resources to the Guardian Faction at regular intervals.
Not just our Guhai Sect, but many other factions in this Third Void are the same. At set intervals, they must deliver a certain quantity of cultivation resources to the Guardian Faction."
Sensing Ye Yunfei's displeasure, the Intermediate Heavenly God steeled himself to answer.
"Is your Guhai Sect facing significant difficulties lately? Are you caught in a major crisis?"
Ye Yunfei looked at the Intermediate Heavenly God and abruptly asked. Naturally, Ye Yunfei had learned this by using his Mind Reading Art to read the contents of this Heavenly God's thoughts.
"Young Master, how did you know?"
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, both Heavenly Gods and the surrounding True Gods all changed expression.
"I deduced it," Ye Yunfei said offhandedly.
In truth, the information Ye Yunfei gleaned using the Mind Reading Art was far more precise than what he could deduce using a Divination Art.
"Your Young Master's Divination Art is truly remarkable.
To be honest, Young Master, our Guhai Sect is indeed facing a grave crisis. Several powerful enemies have joined forces and intend to attack our Guhai Sect's headquarters.
After receiving the news, we are currently rushing back to headquarters to help defend against the enemy."
This Intermediate Heavenly God hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"Could the Guardian Faction be behind this matter?" Ye Yunfei nodded and said.
"Young Master, how do you know?"
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the two Heavenly Gods' expressions changed dramatically again.
Indeed, the Guhai Sect's upper echelons suspected that the Guardian Faction might very likely be pulling the strings behind the scenes, instigating those few powerful enemies to suddenly join forces against the Guhai Sect.
"Just who are you, Young Master, to be so familiar with the affairs of our Guhai Sect?"
Both Heavenly Gods looked at Ye Yunfei with strong caution.
"I said already, I deduced it.
Relax, I bear no malice towards your Guhai Sect. On the contrary, what I despise most is the Guardian Faction. If you trust me, perhaps I can intervene to help your Guhai Sect survive this crisis."
After some thought, Ye Yunfei spoke.
Now that he knew the Guhai Sect was possibly under attack by the Guardian Faction, Ye Yunfei planned to court this Guhai Sect, aiming to nurture anti-Guardian Faction forces within the Third Void.
"Young Master, you can intervene to help our Guhai Sect survive this crisis?"
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the two Guhai Sect Heavenly Gods were once again stunned.
Though they knew Ye Yunfei was powerful, the Guhai Sect itself had Sovereign God experts stationed within. Moreover, the Guhai Sect's powerful enemies were several large factions, all possessing Sovereign God experts. This young junior actually dared to make such bold claims.
"What? You don't believe me?
Your Guhai Sect only has a single Sovereign God in total, and an Early Stage Sovereign God at that. Your Guhai Sect's few powerful enemies probably don't have many Sovereign Gods either, and likely only Early Stage Sovereign Gods."
Ye Yunfei spoke.
Ye Yunfei had continuously been reading the thoughts and intentions of these two Heavenly Gods and had already gained a general understanding of the situation.
"Young Master, how do you know this so clearly?"
Hearing this, the two Heavenly Gods were greatly surprised again.
"Wait... did you notice?
Just now, when he spoke, there was a certain dismissiveness in his tone towards Early Stage Sovereign Gods.
Could it be this Young Master does not regard Early Stage Sovereign Gods? Does he possess the strength to confront an Early Stage Sovereign God?"
Suddenly, a thought struck the Intermediate Heavenly God, and he used Sound Transmission to speak to the other Heavenly God.
"Impossible?
He's only an Advanced Heavenly God. Even if his strength far surpasses ours, how could he possibly possess the ability to contend with an Early Stage Sovereign God?
No way!"
The Initial Heavenly God spoke in a tone full of disbelief.
"But regardless, by his words, he seems to harbor no goodwill towards the Guardian Faction. If he truly is willing to help our Guhai Sect, then our Guhai Sect would gain a powerful ally. That would surely be beneficial."
After some consideration, the Intermediate Heavenly God said.
"Indeed. After all, he is an Advanced Heavenly God.
If he intervenes to help our Guhai Sect, our Guhai Sect's strength would increase by a measure," the Initial Heavenly God nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
