Chapter 2702 - 2691: Official Declaration of War

Ye Chenfeng didn’t speak again; he just fell into silence.

The black-clothed elder continued, "Young man, aren’t you determined to attain immortality? Before wanting to defeat me, defeat He Kongsheng first!"

"Remember, this is not my demand of you. Whether you choose to defeat He Kongsheng or not has nothing to do with me. At worst, when he steps into the Eternal Life Realm and arrives here, I will battle him."

"Life and death are determined by fate. The lives of many creatures in this world are entirely in my hands, and in whose hands is my life? It should be in my own hands!"

"I’ve been part of this world for so many years. In the end, whether it’s you or He Kongsheng who wants to challenge me, it doesn’t matter to me. Exercising a bit is not a bad thing."

The black-clothed elder waved his arm, and suddenly a force swept towards Ye Chenfeng, causing his consciousness to blur, yet the elder’s voice still reached his ears: "You have just over two months left. After more than two months, He Kongsheng is very likely to step into the Eternal Life Realm. Make sure you seize the opportunity!"

"Also, the formation you set up in Sky Pole City is very strong; besides me, perhaps only He Kongsheng can break it. But these two months are extremely important for He Kongsheng; he will definitely not leave the Hes, so for now, Sky Pole City is very safe."

...

The elder’s voice in his mind was faint and intermittent.

When Ye Chenfeng regained his senses again, he had detached from the recent Illusory Realm and returned to his previous location.

Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an saw Ye Chenfeng sober up on his own, and they both let out a sigh of relief.

"Brother Ye, what happened to you just now?" Li Muyan asked.

Ye Chenfeng didn’t answer, still recalling the black-clothed elder’s words in his mind. If all this is true, then he only has a little over two months left.

Once He Kongsheng steps into the Eternal Life Realm, then he and those around him will certainly be doomed, and Lao Bai Wu Fengxian and Lao Hei Jiang Yuntian, who had accompanied Ye Chenfeng all along the way, their bodies finally recovered, wanting revenge.

But if He Kongsheng enters the Eternal Life Realm, seeking revenge would be impossible, Lao Bai and Lao Hei would only die with hatred. Ye Chenfeng absolutely couldn’t let that happen. Although he also understood that perhaps the black-clothed elder, that entity of this world, was using him, he nevertheless could only follow what the elder said because he was already set on opposing He Kongsheng.

Ye Chenfeng glanced at Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an and briefly recounted his circumstances, including the grievances between Lao Bai, Lao Hei, and He Kongsheng, as well as matters concerning the extraterrestrial monsters.

Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an’s expressions changed again and again as they listened.

After roughly explaining, Ye Chenfeng continued, "The blood-red patterns that just appeared on the ground are likely set by He Kongsheng, and these blood-red patterns will permeate the Upper World, Middle Realm, and Lower Realm of the Divine Origin Realm."

"Once every corner of the Divine Origin Realm is filled with these blood-red patterns, anyone within the patterns, regardless of strength, will become a pool of blood, which is He Kongsheng’s conspiracy. He intends to use the power of all the cultivators in the Divine Origin Realm to help him enter the Eternal Life Realm in one fell swoop."

Ye Chenfeng paused, then continued, "You two can choose not to get involved; I won’t think ill of you, I..."

Ye Chenfeng’s words were interrupted by Li Muyan: "Brother Ye, what do you mean by that? In your eyes, are we just greedy cowards?"

"I believe every word you say; it’s an instinctive intuition. Those extraterrestrial monsters being used by Brother Ye is also good, as long as someone can restrain them."

"But who would’ve thought the Hes, as a dominating family in the Divine Origin Realm, and with He Kongsheng nearing Eternal Life, respected by many in the Divine Origin Realm, would use such means to enter immortality? It’s simply unforgivable."

Shi Wan’an also said, "Brother Ye, upon knowing you are wanted by the Hes, we made preparations, gathering all the artifact refiners in our faction in a secret place for the emergency, ready to lend you a hand."

Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an were aware of Ye Chenfeng establishing the Ye Sect.

Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an almost simultaneously said, "Brother Ye, we also want to join your Ye Sect."

Ye Chenfeng, naturally, wouldn’t refuse the addition of Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an.

After confirming, Li Muyan and Shi Wan’an left first, heading toward Sky Pole City to bring along the artifact refiners from their faction.

Since the artifact refiners were arranged in a secret place, nobody would find them.

Parting with Li Muyan and the others, Ye Chenfeng hastily returned to Sky Pole City at the fastest speed, sometimes drawing small teleportation arrays to shorten travel time, utilizing them to teleport himself a certain distance, as drawing large arrays takes considerable time.

Hence.

Due to rushing ceaselessly, Ye Chenfeng returned to Sky Pole City in half the usual time.

Ye Chenfeng no longer disguised himself. He would officially declare war against the Hes, considering with the Chaos Immortal Array in Sky Pole City, unless He Kongsheng personally emerged, which he wouldn’t as he wouldn’t leave the Hes, Ye Chenfeng had the confidence to formally declare war; no need to hide his identity anymore.

The Ye Sect had gained considerable reputation in a small scope recently.

Especially the grand recruitment announced by Old Demon Nanshan on Ye Chenfeng’s behalf, which contained many enticing conditions.

Supreme Elixirs and Immortal Artifacts were dreamt of by many cultivators.

But only Ye Chenfeng could activate the Chaos Immortal Array, hence those attracted powerhouses could only wait outside the city gate of Sky Pole City.

When Ye Chenfeng appeared outside Sky Pole City, many attention-grabbing powerhouses quickly changed their expressions.

Since Ye Chenfeng no longer disguised himself, any present powerhouses could instantly recognize him as the wanted person by the Hes.

In that moment.

All eyes outside the city gate focused on Ye Chenfeng.

Ye Chenfeng cleared his throat and shouted, "Don’t stare at me like that. Did you come to Sky Pole City to join the Ye Sect?"

"I am the Sect Master of the Ye Sect. Do you still want to join?"

"From this moment, I, Ye Chenfeng, officially declare war against the Hes. In three months, I will completely obliterate the Hes in the Divine Origin Realm."
