"This Illusion Token contains a huge amount of dense Illusion Dao Energy and Illusion Dao Laws. The Soul-Nourishing Tree should be able to absorb it directly."
Ye Yunfei carefully sensed the Illusion Token in his hand.
At this moment, a series of angry eyes fixed upon Ye Yunfei.
"It's Ye Yunfei!"
Someone shouted.
Previously, everyone's attention had been on the Illusion Token, but now both groups saw Ye Yunfei clearly.
"It really is Ye Yunfei!
Go, capture him!"
The Acupoint Opening Realm expert leading the Tianlin Clan waved his hand and was the first to charge at Ye Yunfei.
Rumble...
A powerful spiritual energy pressure radiated from this Tianlin Clan Acupoint Opening Realm expert, crushing down upon Ye Yunfei.
Boom...
The Acupoint Opening Realm expert leading the other group also charged towards Ye Yunfei.
All the others present also burst into movement, converging on Ye Yunfei.
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei was well-prepared. Grabbing Hu Miao, his figure suddenly retreated with explosive speed, passing through the multiple walls behind the courtyard and rushing into the distance.
Ye Yunfei passed through several illusion-created palaces one after another as if traversing air, crossing them in an instant.
But for the pursuers behind, including the two Acupoint Opening Realm experts, these palaces were real and solid. They couldn't simply pass through them in an instant.
And so, moments later, Ye Yunfei was already gone without a trace!
"Ye Yunfei escaped!
Hateful!
We were the ones who discovered that Illusion Token first!"
Both groups roared with fury.
By now, Ye Yunfei was far away, having entered a secluded palace. He released the Soul-Nourishing Tree from his Soul Sea.
With a flick of his hand, Ye Yunfei sent the newly acquired Illusion Token to hover before the Soul-Nourishing Tree.
Swoosh...
The Soul-Nourishing Tree extended numerous roots, like tentacles entangling and firmly grasping the Illusion Token, before starting to absorb the Illusion Dao Energy within.
The Illusion Dao Energy contained within this Illusion Token was extraordinarily rich and pure!
Moreover, it contained a large amount of Illusion Dao Laws!
Ye Yunfei decisively sat down cross-legged and began to contemplate the Illusion Dao Laws within the token.
A short while later.
The Soul-Nourishing Tree had absorbed all the Illusion Dao Energy within this Illusion Token!
The Illusion Dao Laws inside it had also been fully comprehended by Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei's Soul Power level had risen by another notch!
Ye Yunfei tested it out and found that his current Soul Power perception range had reached twenty-five thousand meters!
"Excellent. These Illusion Tokens are very useful to me. I should try to collect as many as possible!"
Ye Yunfei stood up and declared.
"Hu Miao, the Illusion Dao Laws within this token are quite good. You should contemplate them properly."
Ye Yunfei handed the Illusion Token to Hu Miao.
"Let's go collect more Illusion Tokens."
Ye Yunfei led Hu Miao out of the palace and continued forward.
Extending his Soul Power to cover a radius of twenty-five thousand meters, Ye Yunfei could perceive everything within this area with utter clarity.
Among all the martial artists who had entered this Illusion Palace, Ye Yunfei had the farthest perception range.
The farthest perception range of those Acupoint Opening Realm experts was only several thousand meters!
"An Illusion Token!"
Not long after, Ye Yunfei found an Illusion Token hidden very well inside a building.
And it had no monstrous guardian beasts.
Ye Yunfei directly rushed in, took possession of the Illusion Token, and began using the Soul-Nourishing Tree to absorb the Illusion Dao Energy and Laws within.
After finishing the absorption, Ye Yunfei's Soul Power energy rose another notch!
"Let's continue!"
Ye Yunfei led Hu Miao forward.
Whoosh, whoosh...
The Soul-Nourishing Tree flew ahead. Whenever it encountered an illusion-created building, it immediately rushed over to refine and absorb it directly.
When encountering illusion beasts, Ye Yunfei would directly blast them apart and then let the Soul-Nourishing Tree refine and absorb them.
As it absorbed more and more energy, the Soul-Nourishing Tree grew taller and taller.
Later, Ye Yunfei discovered that when those illusion beasts appeared, the Soul-Nourishing Tree actually began to actively approach them, spewing out numerous roots to attack the beasts.
The beasts retreated in alarm.
"Master, I understand now. These beasts are condensed from Illusion Dao Energy and Illusion Dao Laws. And the Soul-Nourishing Tree can absorb Illusion Dao Energy and Laws, making it their natural nemesis!"
Seeing this situation, Hu Miao couldn't help but exclaim.
"Hmm, that should be the case."
Ye Yunfei nodded, pleasantly surprised.
Boom...
The Soul-Nourishing Tree pursued the beasts.
Chii, chii...
Numerous roots radiating powerful energy shot towards those beasts.
Immediately, a dozen or so beasts were struck by the roots.
Oww, oww...
These dozen beasts actually let out mournful cries.
"Master, try to see if you can use the Illusion Dao Laws to control these beasts!"
Hu Miao suddenly suggested.
"Good idea!"
Ye Yunfei's spirits lifted instantly.
Immediately, under Ye Yunfei's mental control, the Soul-Nourishing Tree forcibly dragged those dozen-odd beasts over.
Then, Ye Yunfei activated the Illusion Dao Laws he had thoroughly comprehended from the previous two Illusion Tokens, wrapping them around one of the beasts and seeping into its body.
Ye Yunfei discovered that this beast's body was primarily composed of Illusion Dao Energy and Laws!
Ye Yunfei interwove the Illusion Dao Laws he had comprehended with the Illusion Dao Laws inside this beast.
A moment later.
Suddenly, Ye Yunfei realized he could now completely control the Illusion Dao Laws within this beast.
This meant he could control the beast itself!
Roar...
Under Ye Yunfei's mental command, the beast moved to stand beside Ye Yunfei and let out a fierce roar.
"It really works!"
Both Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao were thrilled.
Next, Ye Yunfei controlled the remaining dozen or so beasts in one go.
"Let's go!"
In high spirits, Ye Yunfei led Hu Miao forward again.
A dozen or so beasts closely followed behind, equivalent to a dozen fighters at his command.
Over the next half-day, Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao encountered group after group of illusion beasts.
Of these beasts, Ye Yunfei blasted half of them apart for the Soul-Nourishing Tree to absorb, while he subdued the other half and kept them by his side.
After half a day, Ye Yunfei had control over more than seventy beasts following him in an impressive, grand procession.
"Huh?"
Ye Yunfei suddenly stirred. He sensed an illusion-created palace ahead. On a stone table within the palace, two white Illusion Tokens were placed.
Inside the palace, more than thirty beasts guarded the two tokens, and one of them emanated the energy fluctuations of the Acupoint Opening Realm!
"Kill!
Everyone, give it your all! Kill these beasts, and our Taihuang Sect can claim these two Illusion Tokens!"
A Acupoint Opening Realm youth, leading a group of martial artists, charged into the palace and bellowed.
Boom...
Immediately, this group of martial artists began fiercely battling the beasts inside the palace.
"These two Illusion Tokens are mine!"
Ye Yunfei was overjoyed and immediately activated his movement technique, charging towards that palace.
Hu Miao and the more than seventy beasts closely followed behind Ye Yunfei.
Boom, boom...
Inside the palace, the people from Taihuang Sect were fighting intensely with the beasts.
"Die!"
The Acupoint Opening Realm youth possessed formidable combat strength, unleashing his power. In a few moves, he forced the Acupoint Opening Realm level beast to retreat repeatedly.
"Haha, this Illusion Token belongs to me!"
This youth laughed loudly. While throwing attacks to push back the Acupoint Opening Realm beast, he simultaneously moved closer to the two Illusion Tokens.
At this moment.
Roar, roar...
Ye Yunfei, accompanied by his more than seventy beasts, penetrated the palace wall and poured in with astonishing momentum.
Under Ye Yunfei's control, the more than seventy beasts roared and snarled, pouncing and killing everywhere. The palace immediately descended into chaos.
Seizing the chaos, Ye Yunfei rushed to the stone table, grabbed both Illusion Tokens in one go, then waved his sleeve, sweeping up Hu Miao and the more than seventy illusion beasts before turning to leave.
"Kid! Immediately put down those two Illusion Tokens! They belong to our Taihuang Sect!"
Seeing someone take the tokens, the Taihuang Sect Acupoint Opening Realm youth immediately roared in fury.
"Imbecile."
Ye Yunfei didn't even look back, eager to find a place to absorb the Illusion Dao Energy and Laws within these two tokens.
Besides, his opponent was a Acupoint Opening Realm expert. Ye Yunfei wasn't keen on wasting time fighting him just yet.
"Senior Brother Liu! It's Ye Yunfei!
Ye Yunfei, who's been wanted by our six major forces together!"
One of the Taihuang Sect disciples recognized Ye Yunfei.
Whoosh!
By now, Ye Yunfei had already passed through the wall and was rushing into the distance.
"Ye Yunfei, stop right there!"
Senior Brother Liu was incensed with rage. He led the Taihuang Sect disciples out of the palace and chased after Ye Yunfei.
But moments later, Ye Yunfei was nowhere to be found.
Ye Yunfei found an out-of-the-way palace and let the Soul-Nourishing Tree absorb the Illusion Dao Energy from the two tokens while simultaneously using his Soul Power to comprehend the Illusion Dao Laws within them.
Half an hour later, all the Illusion Dao Energy contained within the two Illusion Tokens had been absorbed by the Soul-Nourishing Tree!
The Illusion Dao Laws within the two tokens had also been thoroughly comprehended by Ye Yunfei!
"Within this Illusion Palace, my Soul Power perception range has reached thirty-five thousand meters!"
Ye Yunfei stood up, speaking with satisfaction.
Simultaneously, his Soul Power level had taken another significant leap!
Chii!
Ye Yunfei willed it, and the Heavenly Soul Sword shot out from his Soul Sea, slicing through the air with a sharp hissing sound.
"This Heavenly Soul Sword has begun to take on a semi-transparent, semi-substantial state!
When it completely becomes a physical entity, this Heavenly Soul Sword will become a divine weapon, capable of attacking not just Soul Bodies but physical bodies as well.
Furthermore, wherever my will arrives, this Heavenly Soul Sword will instantly reach, requiring absolutely zero travel time.
At that time, the attack speed of this Heavenly Soul Sword will be shockingly fast!"
Ye Yunfei nodded in satisfaction and retracted the Heavenly Soul Sword back into his Soul Sea.
"Let's go."
Ye Yunfei handed the two Illusion Tokens to Hu Miao, then led her to continue forward.
Not long after, Ye Yunfei subdued many more illusion beasts.
Over a hundred beasts now followed behind him!
"Shrew, hand over everything on you immediately, especially that Illusion Token!"
Suddenly, an angry shout rang out from ahead.
"Aren't you reasonable at all!
I found this Illusion Token, yet you try to seize it by force!"
A frightened female voice cried out.
"Haha...
Reason?
We outnumber you and are stronger than you. That's our reason!"
Wild laughs echoed.
"It's her?"
Under Ye Yunfei's Soul Power perception, in a plaza ahead, he saw an elegant woman in white robes surrounded by a group of martial artists.
This woman was none other than Pan Yi!
"Hmm, and she's quite good-looking. Alright, excellent.
Senior Brother Ruan, how should we deal with her?"
A short, stout man stared at Pan Yi, leering at her up and down without restraint.
"Deal with her however you wish."
Beside him, a yellow-robed man standing with his hands clasped behind his back sneered as he spoke.
"Good!"
The short man's eyes lit up, and he began advancing towards Pan Yi step by step.
"Don't you dare do anything reckless!"
Pan Yi cried out in panic, understanding this man's intentions.
"Ahem...
Pan Yi, how do you plan to deal with these guys?
You can do with them as you please."
Suddenly, a light voice spoke out. A young man, with his arms crossed, slowly walked into the plaza.
It was Ye Yunfei!
Ye Yunfei had a good impression of Pan Yi, so he decided to lend a hand.
