Ye Yunfei explained the situation to Yang Feng and instructed him to bring the Yang Family into the formations and wait there.
Learning that Ye Yunfei was going to deal with a powerful foe, Yang Feng immediately offered to come along and help, but Ye Yunfei declined.
Ye Yunfei knew the overall strength of the Blade Realm was truly fearsome, and the actions of those blade cultivators were ruthlessly vicious. If the Yang Family provoked the Blade Realm with their current level of power, the likely outcome would be the annihilation of their entire clan.
Without good reason, Ye Yunfei did not want to involve the Yang Family in a conflict with the Blade Realm.
Yang Feng could only lead his family into the formations to wait for Ye Yunfei. He understood that without Ye Yunfei personally leading them, the Yang Family members would be unable to navigate through this region of the white maze.
After settling the Yang Family, Ye Yunfei immediately headed in the direction from which the earlier shouts had come.
After winding his way past over a dozen tall white walls, Ye Yunfei saw two parties confronting each other up ahead, both exuding murderous auras.
One party consisted of cultivators whose bodies radiated overwhelming sword auras. Each held a long blade and seemed ready to strike.
These were all Blade Realm cultivators.
Most members of the other party wore green or cyan robes, emanating intense vital life energy. Around many of them, phantom images of various plants appeared in the surrounding space.
"Master, look, that's Miss Zhou," Hu Miao said, pointing towards a slender woman among them.
That woman was indeed Zhou Wanqing, whom Ye Yunfei knew. At the moment, Zhou Wanqing stood amidst the Wanmu Ancestral Land's ranks, nervously watching the blade cultivators opposite her, each with a fierce glare.
"Our Blade Realm and your Wanmu Ancestral Land bore no grudge originally. However, last time, your Wanmu Ancestral Land actually acted to protect someone we, the Blade Realm, sought to kill.
The person we, the Blade Realm, wished to kill was the successor of the Sword Realm. Your Wanmu Ancestral Land should know the enmity between our Blade Realm and the Sword Realm.
Yet, your Wanmu Ancestral Land still chose to help the Sword Realm's successor. That choice equals declaring yourselves enemies of our Blade Realm."
A tall, burly middle-aged man with a meaty face stood at the forefront of the Blade Realm ranks and spoke coldly.
"Since you've chosen to be enemies of our Blade Realm, then prepare to pay the price today!"
The middle-aged man's gaze was piercing.
"If you want a fight, let's fight! Our Wanmu Ancestral Land does not fear your Blade Realm!"
An elderly woman in green robes within the Wanmu Ancestral Land's ranks snorted coldly and retorted.
"Very well. Attack! Slaughter them all!"
The leading middle-aged man of the Blade Realm waved his hand and ordered coldly.
"The Wanmu Ancestral Land truly lives up to being a faction dedicated to cultivating Wood Energy and Wood Laws. Those female disciples, cultivating Wood and Life Laws year after year, each looks exceptionally beautiful.
I suggest we keep all the young female disciples alive."
Suddenly, a blade cultivator shouted loudly.
"Good suggestion! I agree!"
Immediately, other blade cultivators chimed in loudly.
"Especially that Zhou Wanqing. I heard she is one of the five great renowned beauties among the younger generation.
Furthermore, she has cultivated the Wanmu Ancestral Land's unpassed secret art, the Primordial Life Law.
It's said the first man who has relations with her can share the benefits of cultivating the Primordial Life Law with her.
Cultivated to the peak, that art is said to be equivalent to having at least ten extra lives.
If cultivated to perfection, it's an Immortal Body. Even if your soul body is shattered, as long as your origin remains intact, you can gradually recover to your peak state and live again."
Someone stared at Zhou Wanqing and shouted loudly.
Instantly, all the blade cultivators' eyes lit up, their gazes fixed entirely on Zhou Wanqing.
"Who would have thought you Blade Realm cultivators are such filthy scum, each of you deserving death!"
The green-robed elderly woman who spoke earlier erupted in fury. She raised a dragon-headed walking stick in her hand and pointed at the Blade Realm cultivators, loudly reprimanding them.
"Heh heh, looks like this old hag will not yield until she sees the coffin!
Comrades, attack. There's no need to waste any more time."
A powerful cultivator from the Blade Realm stepped forward with a cold laugh.
With a thunderous roar, a massive long blade erupted from his body, soared into the air, and rapidly enlarged. It swung down, aiming a slash at the Wanmu Ancestral Land ranks ahead.
Instantly, a towering blade aura, spreading out like a peacock's fan, inundated the Wanmu Ancestral Land's formation.
The green-robed elderly woman of the Wanmu Ancestral Land stepped forward. The dragon-headed walking stick in her hand shot forward, transforming into a vivid green dragon.
Simultaneously, dense, tangled green vines immediately appeared in the space ahead. One after another, green plants continuously extended from the void, growing with frenzied speed.
Then, both sides launched their attacks at the same time.
Zhou Wanqing grasped a long green whip, unleashing overlapping whip shadows that coiled forward in one circle after another.
Behind Zhou Wanqing, the phantom of a towering divine tree appeared. From this colossal tree cascaded hundreds of millions of jade-green branches. Every single branch curled upward like a green arrow, shooting piercingly towards the Blade Realm cultivators ahead.
At the same time, a green shield erupted from within Zhou Wanqing's body, spinning rapidly in front of her, blocking one devastating blade aura after another.
The battle between the two great factions had begun, and it was intense from the very first moment.
Both the Blade Realm and the Wanmu Ancestral Land were ancient factions that had existed since ancient times. Both had weathered the baptism of long, arduous ages, and their legacies persisted to this day, ranking them among the top major powers within the Chaotic Void Sea.
"Those Blade Realm cultivators possess fierce and overwhelming offensive power. Their blade techniques are aggressive and imposing, possessing terrifying lethality.
The secret arts and skills employed by the people of the Wanmu Ancestral Land harmonize strength and suppleness, combining offense and defense. Moreover, they excel at defense, possess abundant vitality, and even when injured, they can recover rapidly within a short time.
Both factions truly live up to their ancient legacies passed down from antiquity."
After observing the battle for a moment, Hun Lao spoke.
"Since they are people from the Blade Realm, there's no point in us waiting any longer."
Ye Yunfei looked at those blade cultivators and spoke coldly.
As the successor of the Sword Realm, Ye Yunfei and the Blade Realm were sworn enemies, life and death at stake.
Ye Yunfei had never been soft-hearted towards his enemies. Upon encountering them, if he could kill them, he would.
Ye Yunfei noticed three blade cultivators simultaneously charging towards Zhou Wanqing, riding their blades.
Zhou Wanqing was a renowned young genius of the Wanmu Ancestral Land's younger generation and a famous beauty of that generation, making her a target for several blade cultivators at once.
Ye Yunfei's figure flashed, swiftly moving towards Zhou Wanqing's position.
The three blade cultivators, gripping their long blades and readying their techniques against Zhou Wanqing, suddenly found bizarre thoughts and notions sprouting uncontrollably in their minds.
Then, a terrifying, strange energy instantly invaded their bodies, attacking both their flesh and their soul bodies simultaneously.
This bizarre energy was simply impossible to defend against. Startled, the three blade cultivators immediately slowed their charge. Next, they discovered a young man standing in their path.
"Young Master Ye! It's you!"
Zhou Wanqing cried out in surprised delight.
