Ye Yunfei walked out of the underground palace and returned to the small building where he was staying.
"Master!
Master Huang refined a batch of Heavenly Demon Pills. They are perfect for me!"
The moment Hu Miao saw Ye Yunfei return, she immediately came forward, saying happily.
Ye Yunfei had already told Hu Miao about Huang Shang's presence.
"Haha, it's been a long time since I last refined pills. Luckily, my skills haven't rusted and I barely managed to complete the task you assigned me."
As Ye Yunfei entered the room, Huang Shang floated up from within the Pill Cauldron, hovering above it.
"It seems you succeeded in refining the Soul-Stabilizing Pill as well," Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
Huang Shang's form had become noticeably more solid.
Clearly, the effects of taking the Soul-Stabilizing Pill were at work.
"Haha, that's right," Huang Shang replied, smiling.
"Don't worry. If the opportunity arises in the future, I will refine a Samsara Pill for you.
At that time, this remnant soul of yours can be completely repaired and become a full Soul Body," Ye Yunfei said.
"The Samsara Pill!
That's a Ninth-Grade Spirit Pill! You can refine that?!"
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Huang Shang was utterly shocked.
"As long as the materials are complete, it's very simple for me," Ye Yunfei said lightly.
As a Grandmaster Alchemist, refining a Ninth-Grade Spirit Pill was a trifling matter.
"Young man, who exactly are you?
Could you be the personal disciple of some old alchemy monster from the Central Continent, coming to the Eastern Region to gain experience?"
Huang Shang asked.
Ye Yunfei smiled without confirming or denying.
With Ye Yunfei's level in the Pill Dao, those so-called alchemy monsters from the Central Continent weren't even worthy of being his attendants.
However, there was no need for Ye Yunfei to explain his origins in detail to Huang Shang. Even if he did, Huang Shang probably wouldn't believe him.
"Old Huang, in the coming period, I'll have to trouble you to refine more spirit pills for me.
I think refining more pills should be beneficial for the recovery of your Soul Body."
Ye Yunfei took out another huge pile of spiritual herbs from his spatial ring, stacking them like small hills all over the room.
This batch, commissioned from the Third Prince, had cost several million Spirit Crystals and was far from being used up.
"That's right.
Refining more pills is akin to a form of training for me, beneficial for strengthening my Soul Body.
Whatever pills you need refining, just hand them over to me."
Huang Shang nodded.
Ye Yunfei extended his finger and transmitted the formulas for several different types of pills in succession into the Pill Cauldron, entrusting them to Huang Shang to refine.
"Let's go. We'll go out for a stroll."
Ye Yunfei said to Hu Miao.
Then.
Ye Yunfei brought Hu Miao out of the Third Prince's residence and began strolling on the main street.
A moment later.
An opulent mansion appeared up ahead, covering dozens of acres.
"Master, look, that's the Li Residence.
The headquarters of the Imperial City Li Family.
Should we just charge in and wipe them out now?"
Hu Miao whispered.
Ye Yunfei had come to the imperial capital with two objectives: first, to exterminate the Li Family; second, to accept the Third Prince's invitation and participate in the Alchemy Competition.
Therefore, Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao had specifically come to scout the Li Residence's entrance.
"The Patriarch of the Li Family is a minister of the Imperial Family.
If we exterminate them now, the Imperial Family will surely investigate, which would affect my participation in the Alchemy Competition.
Let's wait until after the Alchemy Competition concludes, then we'll storm the Li Family and unleash a bloody massacre."
Ye Yunfei gazed at the gate of the Ye Mansion and, after some thought, spoke.
At the same time.
Within the Prime Minister's Residence in the imperial capital.
"Third Young Master, good news! I've received reports from our scouts. Ye Yunfei and a woman have just left the Third Prince's residence and are strolling along the main street right now."
A withered, thin old man hurriedly arrived before Xiao Wuhen and spoke.
"Excellent!
Old Hu, gather some men. Let's find a secluded spot to surround and kill Ye Yunfei together."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Wuhen couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Soon, Xiao Wuhen led a large group of men and hurriedly left the Prime Minister's Residence, heading towards Ye Yunfei's location.
At the same time.
Inside the Eldest Prince's residence.
"Reporting to the Eldest Prince, the person you asked us to find has been located.
He is currently out on the main street."
A guard came into the Eldest Prince's study and reported.
In the guard's hand was a portrait, and the person drawn on it was precisely Ye Yunfei.
"Excellent!
Send people immediately to kill him!"
The Eldest Prince's face was filled with killing intent.
"However, from what Young Master Tang said, there is a demoness accompanying this kid, and her strength is not weak.
Very well.
Take my token and order Commander Leng to personally take action and eliminate that kid."
After some thought, the Eldest Prince instructed.
"Understood."
The guard nodded, took the Eldest Prince's token, and left the study.
Inside the Li Residence.
Within a large hall.
The Patriarch of the Li Family, Li Jianjun, was discussing matters with the family's high-ranking members.
Suddenly.
A servant rushed into the hall.
"Patriarch, we have finally located Ye Yunfei.
He is currently on the main street."
The servant reported.
"Excellent!
Dispatch men immediately to kill him!
No! It would be best to capture him alive and bring him back. I want to use him as a living sacrifice to avenge the Li clansmen who died because of him!"
Upon hearing this, Li Jianjun was overjoyed and immediately gave the order.
Soon, a group of Li Family fighters left the Li Residence and headed towards Ye Yunfei's location.
Ye Yunfei never expected that merely showing his face would attract the attention of several factions.
At this moment.
Ye Yunfei was strolling along the main street with Hu Miao.
Although Hu Miao was a great demon, she loved lively scenes immensely. Seeing all sorts of novel things on the street, she couldn't help but exclaim with joy and even gasp in wonder repeatedly.
Half a day later.
"Master, we are being watched."
Hu Miao suddenly transmitted a Sound Transmission to Ye Yunfei.
"That's right.
And there are three separate groups."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Both Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao possessed exceptionally powerful Soul Power.
Moreover, they were in a master-servant relationship.
Therefore, they could transmit Sound Messages to each other.
For ordinary martial artists, reaching at least the Saint Realm was a prerequisite for possessing the ability to send Sound Transmissions.
"Master, how should we deal with them?"
Hu Miao asked.
"Let's leave the city and find somewhere remote."
Ye Yunfei said.
Thus, after strolling for a while longer, Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao walked out of the imperial city, heading towards a desolate wilderness in the outskirts nearby.
"Hehe, this little pair of dogs, they are truly seeking death."
Behind them, those watching Ye Yunfei all sneered coldly.
Soon.
Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao arrived at a remote stretch of grassland. There was no one here; it was extremely quiet.
Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao came to a stop and turned around.
"Come out."
Ye Yunfei said lightly.
"Haha... Ye Yunfei, do you remember me?"
Suddenly, a tall and handsome youth in brocade robes, leading a large group of men, rushed forward and surrounded Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao completely.
"So it's you."
Ye Yunfei gave a faint smile.
This youth in brocade robes was none other than Xiao Wuhen.
"Haha... Ye Yunfei, I'd like to see how the Third Prince can protect you today!
Provoking me, Xiao Wuhen, means your end has only one outcome: death!"
Xiao Wuhen laughed heartily, looking at Ye Yunfei like looking at a dead man.
Behind him, aside from the withered old man, three Heaven Realm experts stood in a line, exuding a murderous aura!
