"Are you angry?\nBut it's pointless.\nThe gap between our levels is simply too vast.\nIt's no exaggeration to say that for you, I am like a dragon in the heavens, while you are but an ant on the ground.\nDo you think a dragon in the heavens would care about the anger of an ant on the ground?\nNo matter what kind of vows you make, no matter how hard you strive, it's all useless.\nVery well. If you wish to survive, hand over those cultivation techniques and martial skills you've mastered.\nAlso, give me that Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.\nOtherwise, I will shatter your physical body, imprison your Soul Body, and take you back for slow, meticulous interrogation.\nBy that time, you will have no chance of survival left."
The young man spoke indifferently, his voice laden with nothing but cold apathy.
As he spoke, his right hand stretched out, continuously expanding like a giant cloud, reaching toward Ye Yunfei.
BOOM...
Boundless energy and Laws surged forth, sweeping toward Ye Yunfei with overwhelming force.
However, Ye Yunfei was already prepared. The moment the young man moved, he executed Spatial Teleportation and suddenly appeared dozens of miles away!
"You ant! You truly wish to oppose me?!"
The young man's face darkened as he spoke coldly. At this moment, the rules of this heaven and earth were trying their hardest to expel him; he knew the time he could remain in this world was growing shorter and shorter.
Whoosh! Whoosh...
Ye Yunfei suddenly unleashed the Heavenly Soul Sword, frantically attacking the young man's Soul Body.
Clang! Clang...
Inside the young man's Soul Sea, the small golden bell materialized once again, blocking the Heavenly Soul Sword and emitting clear sounds of metallic clashes.
"Ant! You have successfully enraged me!"
The young man's eyes flashed with anger.
"Try the Mountain-River Diagram bestowed upon me by my Master!"
The young man shouted.\nBOOM...
A scroll flew out from his sleeve, rapidly expanding as it encountered the wind.
The painting on the scroll depicted magnificent scenery of mountains, rivers, and vast land—it was an incredibly broad world!
BOOM...
That vast world actually began to slowly materialize from within the painting, about to descend upon this reality!
Boundless might of Laws and order emanated from that vast world, descending upon Ye Yunfei to suppress him.
"A peak-tier Quasi-Immortal Artifact!"
Ye Yunfei's heart sank, his body immediately stiffening on the spot, unable to move.
Then, the world slowly materializing from the painting unleashed a powerful suction force, pulling Ye Yunfei toward it.\nIt seemed Ye Yunfei was about to be dragged into that world.
"I'm prepared to burn my lifeblood to help you escape.\nYou must take the Phantom Tower and flee quickly."
Ye Yunfei sent a mental message to the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm. His parents were inside the Phantom Tower; he couldn't let them come to harm with him.
"Haha...\nAnt, now you understand the consequences of angering me.\nOnce you fall into my hands, you will have no chance of survival."
The young man laughed in triumph.
Right at that moment...\nROAR... ROAR...
Angry roars and bellows erupted from the young man's body.
Then, a Vermilion Bird suddenly shot out from the chariot the young man wore on his person.
"Release my brother immediately! Otherwise, I absolutely will not go with you. I will self-destruct on the spot and die!"
Xiao Fei's face materialized on the Vermilion Bird's form. This was a Soul Power Clone of Xiao Fei!
Inside that chariot earlier, the four middle-aged men had already revealed Xiao Fei's identity to her.
BOOM...
Destructive energy now radiated from the Vermilion Bird's body, as if it were about to explode.
"You..."
The young man felt a surge of surprise and anger.
"Release my brother immediately! Otherwise, I will self-destruct right now!"
Xiao Fei repeated.
BOOM... BOOM...
The destructive energy emanating from the Vermilion Bird's form grew even more concentrated.
"Xiao Fei! Don't do something so foolish!"
Ye Yunfei was terrified, his face turning pale.
BOOM...
An incredibly potent surge of Soul Power energy erupted within Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea.
A trace of the Heavenly Emperor's Remnant Soul!
Ye Yunfei was preparing to ignite this trace of the Heavenly Emperor's Remnant Soul to kill the young man. Though Ye Yunfei himself would suffer immense damage, possibly even perish as a result, to save Xiao Fei, he had no other choice!
Right at that moment...\nBOOM... BOOM...
The very heavens and earth became utterly chaotic. Boundless energy and Laws rapidly coalesced, instantly forming a massive energy hand that descended from the sky at astonishing speed, reaching for the young man.
"Oh no!\nThe will of this world has manifested!\nIt's repelling me!"
The young man's face changed drastically with fear. Though his strength was formidable, it was still insufficient to oppose the will of this world's heaven and earth order.
"Brat! Come here!"
The young man pointed a finger, and the Mountain-River Diagram surged toward Ye Yunfei.
However, the energy hand high in the sky swept toward the Mountain-River Diagram and directly smashed it, sending it flying back.
"Brat! You just wait! I will find a way to return and deal with you!"
The young man, knowing the world's heaven and earth rules were expelling him and that he couldn't stay any longer, roared in fury.
In the next moment, he gripped the Mountain-River Diagram, flashed, and sped toward the depths of the firmament.
Because Xiao Fei's true body was still imprisoned in the chariot, the Vermilion Bird carrying Xiao Fei's Soul Power Clone returned to the chariot on the young man's person.
Whoosh!
The next moment, the young man disappeared into the depths of the firmament, completely expelled from this world by its heaven and earth rules.
Ye Yunfei wanted to save Xiao Fei, but it was already too late!
Then, peace returned to the world.
Ye Yunfei stood high in the air, his gaze fixed on the depths of the firmament, motionless.
"That guy... is far too powerful!"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm hovered by Ye Yunfei's side.
Earlier, Ye Yunfei had wanted the Silkworm to take the Phantom Tower and leave, but then the young man was expelled by the world's rules.
Ye Yunfei remained motionless in mid-air for roughly an hour.
After an hour...
"Up until now, my path has been too smooth.\nIn truth, I am still very weak. Forget about the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds; even within this Canghuang Realm, I cannot yet be considered a truly powerful expert.\nI still have a very long road ahead."
Ye Yunfei drew a deep breath and spoke to himself.
"Xiao Fei, wait for me. Your brother will definitely find you and bring you back beside Mother and Father.\nMy, Ye Yunfei's, sister does not need any sect or clan to guide her. Xiao Fei staying by my side is the best choice."
Ye Yunfei stared at the depths of the firmament and thought resolutely.
In fact, Ye Yunfei had long ago prepared a detailed plan for Xiao Fei's future cultivation path.
In this world, how many major sects or great clans could possibly understand cultivation better than Ye Yunfei?
So, Xiao Fei cultivating by Ye Yunfei's side was truly the best option!
"I don't care what sect you're from or what kind of backing you have. Since you dare to take Xiao Fei from my side, you and the forces behind you should await the consequences."
Ye Yunfei continued coldly.
That young man—Ye Yunfei would definitely not let him go!
