Denied Entry

Ye Ziwei does not step out of the Primordial World.

Ren Fenchen appears ready to bring his army into full-scale war, so she does not dare to act recklessly. Instead, she stands firm, looks at him coldly, and asks, "What? Are you planning to wage war against my Heaven and Earth Alliance now?"

Across from her, Ren Fenchen smiles slightly. "Miss Ye, you misunderstand. We are not here to fight! We… are here to join the Heaven and Earth Alliance."

The moment his words fall, a wave of shock ripples through the entire battlefield—inside and outside the Primordial World.

What did he just say?

Join the Heaven and Earth Alliance?

Ren Fenchen?

Isn't he one of Ling Ye's subordinates?

And yet, here he is, seeking to join the Heaven and Earth Alliance—along with the entire Blood Shadow Demon Army?

"Haha! Interesting!"

Among the gathered forces outside, Chu Yuntian of the Stellar Empire smirks.

So, Ling Ye is facing betrayal from his own people? Even his once-loyal army has turned against him?

Inside the Primordial World, Ye Ziwei narrows her eyes. "Join my Heaven and Earth Alliance?"

"That's right!" Ren Fenchen nods firmly. "I bring the entire Blood Shadow Demon Army to pledge allegiance to the Heaven and Earth Alliance! We are willing to stand with you—and with the heavens and the myriad worlds—to wage war against the Blood Shadow Demon Lord."

Behind him, the mighty army stands resolute.

They have nowhere else to go.

Now that they have taken this step, there is no turning back.

Their only path forward is to join the Heaven and Earth Alliance and help kill Ling Ye.

"Heh." Ye Ziwei lets out a cold chuckle. "Ren Fenchen, do you take my Heaven and Earth Alliance for fools?"

She fixes him with an icy gaze. "With the Blood Shadow Demon Lord's temperament, you expect me to believe you betrayed him—and he simply let you live? That you marched an entire army here without repercussions?"

It simply does not make sense.

With Ling Ye's ruthless nature, any traitor under his command should have been wiped out immediately—without exception.

So she has every reason to suspect that this is just another one of Ling Ye's elaborate schemes.

"Haha! The Blood Shadow Demon Lord is really pulling every trick to infiltrate my Primordial World."

Ye Ziwei smirks. "First, he sends external forces to test our defenses, and now he wants to pretend that his entire Blood Shadow Demon Army has turned against him?"

At her words, Ren Fenchen and his forces furrow their brows.

What is this girl thinking?

They genuinely came to surrender, yet she suspects them of deception?

Chu Yuntian and the others watch the scene unfold with amusement.

Ren Fenchen is unlucky to have run into Ye Ziwei.

Regardless of whether they have truly betrayed Ling Ye, Ye Ziwei will never allow them into the Primordial World.

"Miss Ye, what do you mean by this?" Ren Fenchen frowns. "Do you truly believe we are working under the Blood Shadow Demon Lord's orders?"

"Sorry, but given the circumstances, I have no choice but to be cautious." Ye Ziwei remains calm. "If you have truly turned against Ling Ye, then prove it."

If they are merely pretending to surrender, letting them into the Primordial World would mean the Heaven and Earth Alliance's destruction.

Even with ordinary factions, she is careful about who she allows in.

And this is not just any faction—this is the mighty Blood Shadow Demon Army.

Ren Fenchen's expression darkens. Proof?

How does she expect them to prove their loyalty right now?

Does she want them to bring Ling Ye here to confirm it? Or perhaps his severed head?

Is there something wrong with Ye Ziwei's reasoning?

"If you can't prove it, then I can't let you enter the Primordial World."

Ye Ziwei's tone remains firm. "Like the Stellar Empire's forces, you will remain outside for now. When Brother Tian exits seclusion, we will decide what to do with you."

Ren Fenchen grits his teeth.

What kind of nonsense is this?

They risked everything to betray Ling Ye—only to be met with suspicion and rejection?

This girl… does she even know how to make sound judgments?

And Ye Tian—what was he thinking when he made her deputy leader?

"If I am mistaken, I will personally apologize to each of you in the future," Ye Ziwei says indifferently. "But for now, I ask for your patience."

With that, she turns and leads the forces of the Heaven and Earth Alliance back inside.

Since this is not a full-scale battle, there is no immediate danger.

The Blood Shadow Demon Army cannot enter the Primordial World, meaning they pose no real threat for now.

Outside, Ren Fenchen and his forces are left speechless.

They gathered the courage to betray Ling Ye, yet this is how they are received?

Unwelcome and distrusted?

How utterly humiliating.
