After speaking, the middle-aged man let out a long howl towards the sky, the roiling soundwaves spreading throughout the entire Small World.
After a moment, vast numbers of birds and beasts from heaven and earth surged forth, gathering before the middle-aged man and Ye Yunfei.
"Young man, I can see your control over spatial energy has improved significantly since your last visit.
Try taking out some beasts at the Acupoint Opening Realm, see if you can lead them outside," the middle-aged man said to Ye Yunfei.
"Alright," Ye Yunfei replied.
He immediately selected a group of beasts at the Acupoint Opening Realm, went to the entrance-exit of the Small World, and began attempting to lead these beasts outside.
"Early Acupoint Opening Realm beasts can be brought out!"
Soon, Ye Yunfei successfully led out a golden-scaled leopard.
"Mid Acupoint Opening Realm beasts can be brought out!"
"Late Acupoint Opening Realm beasts can also be brought out!"
Moments later, Ye Yunfei successively succeeded in leading out both mid and late Acupoint Opening Realm beasts.
"Let's try Star Gathering Realm!" Ye Yunfei's gaze turned to the beasts with Profound Realm power.
Beyond Acupoint Opening Realm lies the Star Gathering Realm.
Next, Ye Yunfei attempted to bring Star Gathering Realm beasts out.
"Early Star Gathering Realm beasts—possible!" Ye Yunfei emerged from the Small World with an early Star Gathering Realm beast, somewhat excited.
"Time for mid Star Gathering Realm." Ye Yunfei stepped into the entrance-exit of the Small World with a mid Star Gathering Realm eagle-demon.
Boom...
Roiling spatial energy pressed down upon that eagle-demon.
Ye Yunfei released his own spatial energy to resist.
The eagle-demon also unleashed torrents of its own energy, forcibly striding outwards.
Both Ye Yunfei and the eagle-demon endured immense pressure, advancing step by step.
Finally, Ye Yunfei successfully led the eagle-demon out of the Small World!
"Late Star Gathering Realm beasts probably can't be taken out," Ye Yunfei thought inwardly.
Leading out a mid Star Gathering Realm beast was already this difficult; taking out a late-stage one would naturally be even harder.
Sure enough, when Ye Yunfei stepped into the Small World's entrance-exit with a late Star Gathering Realm beast, he found it impossible to move even an inch. After trying hard for a moment, he ended in failure!
"It seems only beasts at the Star Gathering Realm mid-stage or below can be taken out," Ye Yunfei said to the middle-aged man.
"Your progress in spatial energy is already remarkable!
With this speed of improvement, I believe you'll soon be able to help me repair that teleportation altar!" The middle-aged man was extremely excited.
What he hoped for most was to repair that teleportation altar and travel to a higher-level world, which would provide a better environment for the recovery of his physical body and Soul Body.
For him, this Small World was practically a prison cage!
"When my spatial energy becomes sufficiently strong, I will certainly repair that teleportation altar.
For me, it's not a difficult task," Ye Yunfei said.
"Excellent!" The middle-aged man was thrilled.
Ye Yunfei's appearance gave him hope of escaping this Small World.
Next, Ye Yunfei brought out several hundred beasts from this Small World in one go.
Among them were thirty mid Star Gathering Realm beasts and eighty early Star Gathering Realm beasts.
There were over three hundred beasts ranging from early to late Acupoint Opening Realm!
Ye Yunfei teleported all these beasts into the Phantom Tower. Then, he retrieved the small green skiff, boarded it, and moments later returned to Qingyun Palace headquarters!
At this time, outside Qingyun Palace headquarters, the forces of the major powers still surrounded the area, recuperating on some nearby peaks.
Ye Yunfei returned directly to the headquarters.
"Immediately announce: from this moment on, the area within a ten-mile radius around Qingyun Palace headquarters belongs to a forbidden zone of Qingyun Palace. No outsider may enter without permission.
Violators will be executed without mercy!" Ye Yunfei summoned all the high-ranking officials to the main hall and proclaimed loudly.
"Palace Master..." Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, those officials were stunned.
"Palace Master, all those people outside come from various major powers. Some possess strength at the late-stage Sea Transformation Realm. I'm afraid we cannot drive them away," Chu Ji hesitated before speaking.
"From now on, these beasts are members of our Qingyun Palace." Ye Yunfei waved his hand and teleported over four hundred beasts out from the Phantom Tower, filling the hall.
Boom...
The weakest among these beasts were still at the early Acupoint Opening Realm. So many beasts gathered together released a terrifying monstrous aura; roiling fierce energy soared upwards, nearly shattering the palace housing the main hall.
Fortunately, several high-grade defensive Formations had been laid out within the hall, preventing its collapse.
The Qingyun Palace officials were all frightened, continuously backing away, their legs turning weak, barely able to stand steady.
"Don't be afraid.
They are on our side," Ye Yunfei said.
"Palace Master, will these beasts truly be members of Qingyun Palace from now on?" Chu Ji asked cautiously.
"Yes.
From now on, they shall be the protectors of Qingyun Palace," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Excellent!" The high-ranking members looked at the over four hundred beasts before them, each filled with intense excitement.
Ye Yunfei had once before brought back over five hundred beasts to Qingyun Palace, so these officials quickly accepted the reality.
With this batch of beasts, Qingyun Palace's strength instantly skyrocketed!
"If anyone dares to invade Qingyun Palace, retaliate fiercely!" Ye Yunfei said.
"Yes!" All the officials responded in unison.
With this batch of beasts, they were filled with confidence.
"Take some beasts and drive away everyone around headquarters. Whoever refuses to leave, kill them directly. There's no need to be polite," Ye Yunfei instructed.
"Understood!
Palace Master, rest assured. I will handle it immediately!" Yang Tianhu volunteered.
"Good, proceed," Ye Yunfei nodded.
Shortly after, the Seven Great Bandits, leading dozens of Acupoint Opening Realm beasts and over two hundred Sea Transformation Realm beasts, marched out of Qingyun Palace headquarters in a grand procession to drive away the various major power figures stationed around.
"From this moment on, the ten-mile radius around Qingyun Palace headquarters is a forbidden zone. None may trespass without permission. Violators will be executed without mercy!" Yang Tianhu shouted aloud.
"Seeking death!" The reactions from the major power forces were intense and aggressive, wishing to charge forward and attack the Seven Great Bandits.
But when the beasts behind the bandits surged forward and revealed their power, the members of the major powers fled in terror.
Among these beasts, ten were at the late Acupoint Opening Realm—sufficient to deal with the leading experts of those major powers!
Soon, within a ten-mile radius of Qingyun Palace headquarters, not a single person remained.
"I think I'm about to break through." At this moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly received a Sound Transmission from Su Qingluo.
During this period, Su Qingluo had been in seclusion within the Phantom Tower.
Days in the external world meant over a year inside the Phantom Tower!
"Qingluo, come out to undergo your tribulation. My spatial artifact isn't suitable for that," Ye Yunfei said, teleporting Su Qingluo out from the Phantom Tower.
