"These are Sovereign God-level Divine Pills."
The Founding Ancestor and the sect leader sensed the Divine Pills Ye Yunfei had taken out, and both revealed stunned expressions.
Previously, all the Divine Pills Ye Yunfei had gifted them were of the Heavenly God level. The ones he had just produced now were actually at the Sovereign God level.
"Could it be that we previously underestimated Young Master Ye's alchemy skills? He is not a Heavenly God-level Divine Pill Master, but a Sovereign God-level Divine Pill Master."
The Guhai Sect leader transmitted his voice to the Founding Ancestor in a shocked tone.
"If Young Master Ye truly is a Sovereign God-level Divine Pill Master, that would be astounding.
Our Guhai Sect actually managed to latch onto a Sovereign God-level Divine Pill Master. This means our Guhai Sect is destined to rise!"
The Guhai Sect Founding Ancestor was also flushed with excitement at this moment.
"Sect Leader, this pill is specifically for you. You have just broken through. After taking this pill, your new realm will be thoroughly consolidated."
Ye Yunfei took out another light-red Divine Pill and handed it over to the Guhai Sect leader.
"Thank you, Young Master Ye."
The sect leader received the pill gratefully.
"Young Master Ye, there are two elders from the Dark Faction outside, saying they wish to see you."
At this moment, a Guhai Sect elder hurried in and reported to Ye Yunfei.
"Let them in!"
Ye Yunfei nodded. Soon, two elderly men completely shrouded in black robes walked in together, bowing respectfully to Ye Yunfei.
"What do you need from me?" Ye Yunfei asked directly.
"Young Master Ye, a coalition army formed by six major forces is now waging war on our Dark Faction.
These six forces claim they are doing so to purge the traitors within our faction."
One of the elders spoke.
"Purging traitors within your Dark Faction?"
Hearing this, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but frown.
"Yes. According to our investigation, it should be that three of our Dark Faction elders, who had already betrayed us, colluded with those six forces to return and act against the Dark Queen.
Previously, those three elders competed with the Dark Queen for the Heart of Darkness. After their defeat, they left the Dark Faction.
Who would have thought their treacherous hearts never died? They colluded with external enemies to return and fight for power and profit."
The other elder spoke.
"So it's them."
Hearing this elder's words, Ye Yunfei immediately recalled the three Dark Faction Sovereign Gods who had entered that sacred hall with Lü Dandan to compete for the Heart of Darkness.
Lü Dandan had taken control of the Heart of Darkness, forcing the three Dark Faction Sovereign Gods to flee.
Lü Dandan had later issued a command publicly declaring those three Sovereign Gods as traitors of the Dark Faction.
Now, unexpectedly, those three Sovereign Gods had reared their heads again to stir up trouble.
"Young Master Ye, based on the inference of our Dark Queen, the backers behind those three traitors and the six forces they colluded with are most likely the Guardian Faction. This means the real reason those six forces want to wage war on our Dark Faction is that the Guardian Faction wants to take action against us."
One elder said.
"So that's it. I believe your Dark Queen's inference is correct."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Young Master Ye, according to news our Guhai Sect has gathered, it is indeed so. Six major forces have formed a large-scale army planning to attack the Dark Faction headquarters, claiming they will kill the Dark Queen to let the Dark Faction return to orthodoxy.
Those three Dark Faction traitors proclaim to the world that they are the most orthodox successors of the Dark Faction, while the Dark Queen is merely a villain who usurped power using dirty methods.
Only by killing the Dark Queen does the Dark Faction have a future."
The Guhai Sect leader opened his mouth and spoke.
"Young Master Ye, I will immediately gather our forces and depart for the Dark Realm now."
The Guhai Sect leader added.
"No, Young Master Ye. The Dark Queen sent us to see you precisely to convey her message: Please don't intervene in this matter. Our Dark Faction can handle it.
During this period, under the Dark Queen's efforts, our Dark Faction has re-coalesced from a state of scattered sand.
Under the Dark Queen's leadership, everyone is united, and our overall strength has increased significantly compared to before.
The coalition army formed by those six forces is indeed strong, but our Dark Faction is not easy to bully either. Even if they have the support of the Guardian Faction behind them, we, the Dark Faction, are confident in confronting them."
One Dark Faction elder hastily said.
"Let's do this: Sect Leader, the Guhai Sect personnel don't need to be mobilized. I'll go take a look myself."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and spoke.
"Young Master Ye…"
The Guhai Sect leader still wanted to say something.
"It's decided."
Ye Yunfei waved his hand.
"Let's go take a look."
Ye Yunfei said to the two Dark Faction elders.
"Young Master Ye, the Dark Queen's purpose in sending us to see you was precisely to ask you not to meddle in our Dark Faction's affairs…"
The two elders were stunned for a moment, then one of them spoke.
"No need to say more. Let's go. Take me there now."
Ye Yunfei said.
Under Ye Yunfei's insistence, the two Dark Faction elders reluctantly had no choice but to lead Ye Yunfei back to the Dark Faction's headquarters.
"Young Master Ye, our Dark Faction has many concealed long-distance teleportation grand formations in this void.
However, only the high-ranking members of our Dark Faction are qualified to use these concealed long-distance teleportation grand formations."
Soon after, the two elders led Ye Yunfei to a nearby world cluster. They entered an ordinary-looking world and stood before an ancient teleportation altar. One of the elders spoke to Ye Yunfei.
"Is that so?
However, why do I feel this is not a long-distance teleportation grand formation, but an ingenious trapping formation? Once I step onto this altar, I estimate I'd be immediately trapped inside, unable to escape, and then be at your mercy, right?"
Ye Yunfei observed the ancient altar before him and suddenly gave a cold smile.
"What?!
When did you find out?"
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the two elders shrouded in black robes both lost color from their faces and stepped back simultaneously, looking at Ye Yunfei with shock.
"Back at the Guhai Sect headquarters, I already knew you two were up to no good.
Did you really think figures like you could fool me?"
Ye Yunfei sneered coldly.
Back in the Guhai Sect headquarters, the moment Ye Yunfei first saw these two Dark Faction elders, he had already used his mind-reading art to scan their thoughts. He discovered that although they were indeed sent by Lü Dandan, they had secretly defected to the three traitorous Sovereign Gods of the Dark Faction.
Their reason for following Lü Dandan's orders to come to the Guhai Sect to find Ye Yunfei was precisely to lure him to a trap they had prepared earlier. Then they would capture him, allowing them to use Ye Yunfei to threaten Lü Dandan.
After reading their thoughts, Ye Yunfei didn't expose them immediately. He followed them here to follow the vine to find the melon, to capture all those lying in ambush here who wanted to arrest him.
Ye Yunfei's power had improved a lot during this period. The saying goes, 'high skill breeds daring,' so he wasn't afraid at all.
"Hahaha…
Kid, you're too arrogant.
Knowing we intend you harm, you still dared to come here.
You youngsters really have no idea of the immensity of heaven and earth. However, you will regret it very soon."
As soon as Ye Yunfei's words fell, a loud laugh rang out. Then, one figure after another, each emanating powerful auras, appeared around them.
"To deal with you, they specially dispatched three Sovereign Gods, though all three are Early Stage Sovereign Gods. Isn't that somewhat looking down on you?"
Hun Lao sensed the auras of the figures surrounding them, then transmitted his voice to Ye Yunfei.
"They dispatched three Early Stage Sovereign Gods to deal with me, which is actually paying great attention to me. After all, those three Dark Faction traitors never regarded me highly before.
They felt sending three Early Stage Sovereign Gods to deal with me was more than sufficient."
Ye Yunfei replied with a smile.
"Indeed just a Heavenly God-level junior.
To deal with a fellow like this, they actually sent us in person. What a waste of our time."
One of the Sovereign Gods glanced at Ye Yunfei, then showed a contemptuous expression.
"This guy surnamed Ye truly is an idiot.
Knowing we were going to act against you, you actually dared to follow us here. Isn't this walking into the trap yourself?
I really can't understand why that little vixen holds you in such high regard, but this also proves her judgment isn't great. Our choice was right; following that little vixen definitely has no future."
One of the elders who had led Ye Yunfei here looked at Ye Yunfei and sneered coldly.
"As a traitor, you actually feel pride?
The Dark Queen is now the leader of the Dark Faction. You betrayed her, meaning you betrayed the Dark Faction.
All my life, I have despised traitors like you."
Ye Yunfei cast his gaze toward the speaking elder and spoke in a tone full of disdain.
Once he finished speaking, more than a dozen weapons suddenly manifested around that elder's head, all simultaneously slashing towards it.
These dozen-plus weapons appeared extremely abruptly, with no warning whatsoever.
The elder couldn't sense at all when these weapons had arrived around his head.
Boom boom boom…
In his panic, the elder immediately activated all the treasures within his soul sea to protect his Soul Body. However, a strange thought suddenly arose in his mind at that moment: to give up resistance.
Interfered by this thought, he hesitated for an instant. This sliver of hesitation cost him his chance to resist.
With a bang, the dozen-plus weapons simultaneously struck his head, exploding it instantly as if chopping a watermelon.
His Soul Body screamed as it tried to escape, but five long spears suddenly appeared with astonishing speed, piercing through his Soul Body in an instant and pinning it in place.
Then, under the astonished gazes of everyone, the five spears, carrying that elder's Soul Body, swiftly returned in front of Ye Yunfei.
"Such terrifying Soul Arts!
Kid, are you perhaps of the Soul Clan?"
The others present were all startled to see Ye Yunfei instantly kill that elder.
The Soul Arts Ye Yunfei wielded were too bizarre and too fearsome.
The other elder who had led Ye Yunfei here saw his companion killed instantly and was scared out of his wits. He now understood how terrifying Ye Yunfei was.
Recalling how bold he had been earlier, going to the Guhai Sect headquarters to personally bring Ye Yunfei here… Ye Yunfei could have killed him at any point during that process with just a thought.
"Great ones, save me!"
Knowing Ye Yunfei might target him next, the elder panicked and desperately hid behind the few Sovereign Gods while crying out loudly.
However, the next moment, he suddenly froze in place. Various bizarre thoughts and notions sprouted in his mind. Then, five long spears thrust into his soul sea, directly piercing through his Soul Body.
Then, the five spears, carrying his Soul Body, swiftly returned in front of Ye Yunfei.
"Brat, stop!"
An Early Stage Sovereign God erupted in rage. With an angry roar, he directly unleashed his Soul Power energy, rumbling as it slammed towards Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei's thoughts stirred. Five long spears shot forth, aiming for this Early Stage Sovereign God's Soul Body.
Sensing the astonishing power contained within the five spears, this Early Stage Sovereign God instantly paled and hurriedly retreated.
"Let's begin. No need to waste more time."
Ye Yunfei spoke indifferently.
