"These Divine Pills are all at the Heavenly God level, and they seem particularly effective for my current injuries. Could it be... they were refined specifically for my wounds?"
Lü Dandan continued to sense the Divine Pills Ye Yunfei had given her, growing even more astonished because she discovered these pills seemed tailor-made for her injuries.
In fact, that was exactly the case. Just now, after encountering Lü Dandan, Ye Yunfei noticed her injuries were somewhat severe, so he immediately had several of his avatars begin refining corresponding pills for her within the Illusory Shadow Pagoda.
With the continuous improvement in his strength and cultivation realm, especially the enhancements in his Soul Power and the quality of his Soul Body, Ye Yunfei's alchemical skill had also soared alongside it. He was now capable of refining Heavenly God-level Divine Pills.
"Did... you refine these pills for me?"
Lü Dandan suddenly thought of this possibility and asked in shock.
"Yes, I did indeed refine them for you," Ye Yunfei nodded.
Ye Yunfei and Lü Dandan had known each other for a long time, and their bond was deep, so there was no need to hide it.
"You are now a Heavenly God-level divine alchemist!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei admit it, Lü Dandan was utterly shaken in her heart.
She certainly knew how significant the status of a Heavenly God-level alchemist was.
"So not only is your combat strength astounding, your alchemical level has also reached such a terrifying degree," Lü Dandan thought, looking at Ye Yunfei with immense emotion.
"It seems an outstanding person will be outstanding no matter where they go. True talent truly shines anywhere," Lü Dandan inwardly mused, her beautiful eyes fixed on Ye Yunfei.
"My Queen, we must leave this place immediately. Otherwise, the people from the Ziyang Sect will return before long."
While Ye Yunfei and Lü Dandan were speaking, the Dark Faction members surrounding them appeared somewhat anxious. Finally, one of the Dark Faction experts couldn't hold back and spoke up.
"Alright, let's get away from here first," Lü Dannan nodded.
"The Ziyang Sect will not give up after failing this encirclement. Having suffered the loss of so many Heavenly Gods, their Patriarchs will be furious and will likely take swift action. So we really should leave now," Lü Dandan said to Ye Yunfei.
"How strong is the Ziyang Sect's overall power?" Ye Yunfei asked after some thought.
"The Ziyang Sect is a very famous major power in our Third Void. According to legends, their headquarters possesses several Sovereign God-level Patriarchs. Some say five, others say six—the accounts vary. But one thing is certain: the number of Sovereign Gods the Ziyang Sect possesses must exceed five. As for Heavenly Gods, they have even more."
Lü Dandan answered.
"At least five Sovereign Gods... Which level are these Sovereign Gods at?" Ye Yunfei inquired.
"I've heard there are both Primary and Intermediate Sovereign Gods. But these are all rumors. It's difficult for outsiders to know the exact number and strength of the Sovereign Gods within the Ziyang Sect," Lü Dandan explained.
"What about your Dark Faction? Don't you have any Sovereign Gods?" Ye Yunfei asked.
"Our Dark Faction originally had Sovereign Gods. But not long ago, several of our Sovereign Gods engaged in a fierce internal power struggle. They severely injured each other and went missing, most likely having already perished. This caused our faction's overall strength to plummet. Otherwise, the Ziyang Sect wouldn't have been able to take advantage and move against us," Lü Dandan sighed and said.
"I see," Ye Yunfei nodded upon hearing this.
He had initially thought the Dark Faction Lü Dandan led lacked Sovereign God experts. It turned out an internal feud had resulted in mutual destruction.
"Alright, now let's leave this place," Lü Dandan said.
"My Queen, where shall we go after leaving here?" a Dark Faction expert asked.
"We are returning to the Dark Realm," Lü Dandan said after a moment's consideration.
"Return to the Dark Realm? But the Ziyang Sect's army previously invaded the Dark Realm. They might have stationed troops there by now. Wouldn't returning at this time be like walking into a trap?"
Hearing Lü Dandan's words, the surrounding Dark Faction experts were taken aback. Someone immediately voiced the question.
"I must return to the Dark Realm. Only by returning there can I become stronger."
The Queen's gaze shifted towards a certain direction as she spoke slowly.
Hearing the Queen's words, the other Dark Faction experts fell silent, as they all understood the meaning behind Lü Dandan's statement.
"Since that's the case, we will follow the Queen back to the Dark Realm," the other Dark Faction experts said in unison.
"Then let's depart now."
Lü Dandan produced a large black flying ship, which swelled with the wind, instantly transforming into a massive vessel hovering before everyone. Lü Dandan led everyone aboard. The ship gently swayed, then directly pierced through space and vanished.
Not long after Lü Dandan's ship departed, a large force of men came rolling to the previous location, led by a Perfected Heavenly God.
This Perfected Heavenly God probed the surrounding space and found the Dark Faction's forces had completely vanished without a trace.
"It seems the Dark Faction members have fled," this Perfected Heavenly God's expression was somewhat grim.
Not long ago, he had received news that the Ziyang Sect had lost close to twenty Heavenly Gods here and had immediately brought people to investigate.
"Our Ziyang Sect did indeed lose many Heavenly Gods here. Damn it! The Dark Faction has been hunted down by our sect, forced to hide and flee everywhere. Even that so-called Dark Queen hasn't dared to show her face. How could they suddenly display such terrifying power now? Could it be the Dark Faction has been hiding its true strength all along?" the Perfected Heavenly God said slowly.
"What if they were hiding their strength? They've been living in constant fear under our Ziyang Sect's pursuit—their strength must be limited, no matter what. Besides, our Ziyang Sect isn't fighting alone," an Advanced Heavenly God beside him said.
"Of course. Even if the Dark Faction was hiding their strength, they are no match for our Ziyang Sect," the Perfected Heavenly God nodded.
"The Dark Faction has left this world. So where do we look for them next?" another Advanced Heavenly God asked.
"We are going to the Dark Realm! No matter where the Dark Queen hides, she will eventually return to the Dark Realm," the Perfected Heavenly God said slowly after some thought.
"The Dark Queen will definitely return to the Dark Realm?" The other members around were momentarily stunned.
"You will understand when the time comes. For now, we go to the Dark Realm and wait for the Dark Queen to return. In fact, our Ziyang Sect has long since made arrangements within the Dark Realm. We are merely going to reinforce them," the Perfected Heavenly God added.
Then, with a wave of his hand, he led the Ziyang Sect forces rolling away.
