"You may not know, esteemed predecessors, but we are also searching for Ye Yunfei's whereabouts,
the black-robed elder said.
"We already have some leads and will be able to pinpoint his location accurately very soon.
Thus, I request the esteemed predecessors to go to the headquarters first for lodging.
Pang Taishi is also at the headquarters."
"Oh? Pang Taishi is at the headquarters as well? Let's go and have a look, then,"
one of the powerful figures nodded.
Thus, the black-robed elder led this batch of newly teleported powerhouses to the Tianlan Star Sea, the headquarters of the Invader army!
Every single one of these newly arrived powerhouses was a top-tier expert whose reputation shook the starry skies. In their own realm, they were characters who could cause the entire cosmos to tremble with a single stomp!
The arrival of such a large group made the black-robed elder tremble with fear; he had to be extremely cautious, afraid that the slightest disrespect might anger these top powerhouses.
A short while later, inside a colossal command tent at the Invader army headquarters in the Tianlan Star Sea.
"Everyone, through divination, I have deduced that Ye Yunfei has been moving around within the Canghuang Realm these past few days, seemingly searching for something,"
Pang Taishi spoke slowly after performing his divination.
"That's strange. After obtaining the Canghuang Origin, Ye Yunfei didn't find a secluded place to refine it. Instead, he's moving about. What is he doing?"
The black-robed elder said doubtfully.
"Regardless of what Ye Yunfei is doing, there is good news for us: there is no sign that the Canghuang Origin has been refined.
If we can find Ye Yunfei in time, there's a chance we can snatch it back."
Pang Taishi stated.
"Pang Taishi, do you really believe the Heavenly Dao Tower is on Ye Yunfei?"
Suddenly, one of the powerhouses who had just arrived via teleportation asked.
"Yes. Based on my repeated divinations, the nine-story golden pagoda on Ye Yunfei is most likely the Heavenly Dao Tower,"
Pang Taishi nodded and answered slowly.
Upon hearing Pang Taishi's words, everyone's spirits lifted.
At the same time, outside the Canghuang Realm, on the other side of the Realm Barrier, within a region of blurry chaotic spacetime, stood over a dozen colossal figures as towering as divine mountains.
The aura emanating from each figure was terrifyingly extreme, shaking this entire blurry spacetime region, making it seem on the verge of disintegration.
"This is the Realm Barrier of the Canghuang Realm.
The greatest difficulty in entering it is traversing this barrier, as it contains terrifying spatial and spacetime laws.
With our level of power, we would need to voluntarily degrade our realms, significantly weakening our strength, to pass through."
One of the figures said.
"What does degrading our realms and weakening our strength matter?
This world is merely a low-level, garbage realm. The beings within are nothing but a swarm of ants to us.
We are heavenly divine dragons.
Even a heavenly divine dragon with a degraded realm and weakened power remains invincible when entering an anthill.
No need to waste time. Let's act quickly."
Another figure sneered.
"Well said. A low-level world—with our strength, we can run amok without fear!"
The other figures also nodded in agreement.
"We will join forces to breach the Realm Barrier together, but only three can be sent in.
Remember, we must find the Heavenly Dao Tower and bring it out!"
One figure declared.
At this moment, at other locations outside the Canghuang Realm's Realm Barrier, groups of powerful figures continuously arrived, preparing to breach the barrier and enter the realm.
These powerhouses had but one purpose for entering the Canghuang Realm: the Heavenly Dao Tower!
Inside the Canghuang Alliance headquarters within the Canghuang Realm.
"Reporting to the Mountain Master, the Palace Master! More forces from the other realm have arrived!"
A man reported to the Mountain Master of the Bulao Mountain and the Palace Master of the Moon Palace in a great hall.
"Their primary target is definitely Ye Yunfei!"
The Mountain Master of the Bulao Mountain said.
"Yes."
The other high-ranking members present in the hall nodded.
"We must find Ye Yunfei before the people from the other realm do,"
the Mountain Master of the Bulao Mountain stated.
"I suspect Ye Yunfei has already returned to Qingyun Palace's headquarters,"
one of the high-ranking members suggested.
"We previously sent three groups there, but none have returned up to now. It's estimated they've been completely wiped out.
The teams we sent had two early-stage Dao Molding Realm experts among them, and it seems they're both dead too."
another high-ranking member added.
"Not surprising. Ye Yunfei has already gathered several Dao Molding Realm experts around him, each with considerable combat power."
The Mountain Master of the Bulao Mountain said with a furrowed brow.
"Qingyun Palace is Ye Yunfei's territory. If we go to his headquarters to deal with him, we probably won't have the advantage. It's best to lure him out, then concentrate our forces to confront him."
The Palace Master of the Moon Palace said.
"What method could lure Ye Yunfei out?"
The Mountain Master of the Bulao Mountain pondered.
"I have a method."
Suddenly, a Canghuang Alliance high-ranking member spoke up.
"What method?"
Everyone else looked at this high-ranking member.
"Blackmail!
You all should be aware of the relationship between Ye Yunfei and Su Qingluo, right?
Reportedly, Ye Yunfei and the Su Clan have reconciled, and the Su Clan has acknowledged their relationship.
That means Ye Yunfei is now the Su Clan's son-in-law.
We can simply capture all members of the Su Clan, especially Su Qingluo's parents, then use them to blackmail Ye Yunfei. It will definitely work!"
"That makes sense!
If we capture all the Su Clan members, then spread the news to the Qingyun Palace headquarters, that Su Qingluo will surely rush back to save her parents upon learning of their plight.
If Su Qingluo returns, Ye Yunfei will have to follow!
Then, we can use Su Qingluo's parents to coerce her, and coercing her is effectively coercing Ye Yunfei!
That way, we won't have to worry about Ye Yunfei not obediently handing over the Canghuang Origin!"
The Palace Master of the Moon Palace's eyes lit up upon hearing the suggestion.
"This plan is feasible!"
The other high-ranking members in the hall also nodded in succession.
"However, the Su Clan is also a member of our Canghuang Alliance, and two of their elders are currently holding positions within the Alliance. Is it proper for us to do this?"
A high-ranking member softly voiced dissent.
"Hmph! There is nothing improper! Since the Su Clan has acknowledged Ye Yunfei as their son-in-law, they are essentially traitors to our Canghuang Alliance!
When dealing with traitors, there's no need for courtesy!"
The Palace Master of the Moon Palace snorted coldly.
"Good! Immediately capture the two Su Clan elders holding positions within the Canghuang Alliance. Then, dispatch a large force to the Su Clan!
Spread the message at the same time: announce that in five days' time, we will execute the entire Su Clan clan, especially Su Qingluo's parents, who will be subjected to death by a thousand cuts!
Ensure the news reaches the Qingyun Palace headquarters and that their people are aware of it!"
The Palace Master of the Moon Palace commanded.
At this moment, the little girl led Ye Yunfei to a remote region of the starry void.
"There is a very concealed spatial rift over there, containing many of these stones,"
the little girl said, pointing to a location in the distance.
"A concealed spatial rift?"
Ye Yunfei's figure flickered, arriving at the position the girl indicated.
"Indeed!" Ye Yunfei's spirit lifted after using his perception; he discovered that there was indeed a fairly well-concealed spatial rift ahead.
