"I wonder if those captured members of our Qingyun Palace are here."
Ye Yunfei released his Soul Power, carefully sensing through this lush, primeval forest.
"They're not here anymore."
After a while of sensing, Ye Yunfei found that there were no traces of those captured Qingyun Palace members in this primeval forest, and he felt somewhat disappointed.
Ye Yunfei had hurried to the Primordial Continent precisely to rescue those captured from Qingyun Palace.
That included Dugu Huan, Du Fan, the three bandit chiefs, and the others!
"There are still many Tianyou Tomb people in this primitive jungle. Let's deal with them all."
"From now on, whenever we encounter anyone from the Tianyou Tomb or the Heavenly God Palace, don't be polite. Just kill them directly."
Ye Yunfei said coldly.
The forces of the Tianyou Tomb and the Heavenly God Palace had attacked the headquarters of the Qingyun Palace, capturing several hundred people and killing many more.
Naturally, Ye Yunfei intended to settle this score clearly with these two factions.
Next, Ye Yunfei moved swiftly, like a phantom, flitting through this dense primeval jungle and beginning to hunt down the Tianyou Tomb personnel within.
This primeval forest was a branch outpost for the Tianyou Tomb, with at least several hundred people stationed here to guard it.
Ah! Ah...!
Immediately, a series of miserable screams rang out in the jungle as black-clothed figures were killed one after another, falling dead to the ground.
With Ye Yunfei's strength, dealing with these ordinary Tianyou Tomb assassins wasn't difficult at all.
"There's one more."
Finally, Ye Yunfei's gaze turned towards the depths of the jungle. His figure flashed as he rushed over.
Moments later.
Ye Yunfei arrived at a hidden clearing deep in the jungle, standing before a thatched hut.
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei summoned a Heavenly Soul Sword and sent it shooting towards the interior of the hut.
"Who's there?!"
Inside the hut, a middle-aged man in black robes was sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, quietly meditating. Suddenly, his expression changed drastically.
Just a moment ago, a small sword had abruptly rushed into his soul sea and attacked his Soul Body.
His soul sea contained a relatively precious Soul Power-type treasure, which blocked the small sword.
"Fortunately, I obtained this Soul Guard Golden Bell back when I was adventuring, otherwise just now, even if I didn't die, my Soul Body would have definitely been injured."
This middle-aged man was furious. His figure flashed as he dashed out of the hut.
Then, he saw a young man holding an altar, standing outside.
"It seems you are the leader here,"
Ye Yunfei said with a cold laugh.
"Brat, who are you?"
"Why are you causing trouble on the territory of our Tianyou Tomb!"
The black-clothed middle-aged man stared warily at Ye Yunfei and demanded.
Boom…!
Ye Yunfei took a step forward and threw a punch.
"A mere Shaping Dao realm ant dares to provoke me? Die!"
The black-clothed middle-aged man was utterly enraged.
He was an early-stage Transformation Dao realm expert.
This Shaping Dao realm brat before him actually dared to be so insolent, making it unbearable for him.
Boom!
He also threw a punch, clashing head-on with Ye Yunfei.
Boom rumble rumble…!
Their fists collided violently.
"How is this possible!"
The black-clothed middle-aged man was sent staggering back over a dozen steps, feeling his qi and blood churning violently within him. He couldn't help but turn pale with shock.
Boom…!
Before the black-clothed middle-aged man could steady himself, Ye Yunfei's second punch had already arrived.
Caught unprepared, the middle-aged man had no choice but to punch forward again to block.
Boom rumble rumble!
Their fists clashed once more.
Pu!
This punch from Ye Yunfei was even more powerful, directly causing the middle-aged man to cough up blood and retreat dozens of steps.
"Once more!"
Ye Yunfei threw another punch.
For the next moments, Ye Yunfei landed seven consecutive punches. Each punch sent the black-clothed middle-aged man staggering back further and coughing up more blood.
Thud!
The final punch smashed the middle-aged man away, sending him crashing to the ground some distance away and creating a deep crater.
The middle-aged man lay at the bottom of the pit, his body twitching spasmodically, his aura severely weakened.
With a flick of his sleeve, Ye Yunfei sent the middle-aged man into the Phantom Tower.
"Once the Tianyou Tomb and the Heavenly God Palace learn of what happened here, they will definitely send experts to investigate."
"It's even possible the Palace Master of the Heavenly God Palace might come himself."
"Therefore, I must leave this place without delay."
Ye Yunfei thought to himself, then employed his spatial teleportation art. Shortly after, he left this primeval forest.
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei used an earth evasion technique, plunging into the ground and speeding away far into the distance.
"Earth Dragons!"
Not long after, Ye Yunfei discovered an Earth Dragon underground.
"The Earth Dragons of the Primordial Continent are much more advanced compared to those in the Canghuang Realm!"
"Every aspect of a higher-level world is bound to be more advanced."
Ye Yunfei felt pleasantly surprised. He immediately rushed over and, employing a technique from the art of Earth Geomancy, subdued this Earth Dragon.
Standing atop the head of this Earth Dragon, Ye Yunfei rode the dragon onward, his speed increasing significantly.
"Speak!"
"Where are the people taken from the Canghuang Realm by the Heavenly God Palace now!"
Ye Yunfei entered the Phantom Tower and stood before the black-clothed middle-aged man, demanding coldly.
"Brat, I am a deacon of the Tianyou Tomb. How dare you provoke our faction like this? Aren't you afraid of invoking the full wrath of the Tianyou Tomb!"
The black-clothed middle-aged man, whose meridians were all shattered and cultivation crippled, was both frightened and angry. He mustered his courage and roared at Ye Yunfei.
Whoosh!
Without another word, Ye Yunfei directly took out a black poison pill and stuffed it into the man's mouth.
Ah! Ah...!
Soon, the middle-aged man began experiencing immense agony. He clutched his head, rolling and writhing on the ground as screams of agony tore from his throat.
These poison pills Ye Yunfei refined were designed to inflict excruciating pain while ensuring the victim wouldn't pass out. On the contrary, their senses would become even more acute!
After a while, Ye Yunfei fed the middle-aged man the antidote.
"Now will you speak?"
Ye Yunfei said coldly.
"Brat, you..."
The middle-aged man panted heavily, his gaze towards Ye Yunfei filled with both hatred and terror.
"Then have another taste."
Ye Yunfei took out another black poison pill and moved to stuff it into the man's mouth.
"Stop! I'll talk!"
The middle-aged man paled in fright. He couldn't bear the thought of enduring that horrific torture again.
"Those captured from the Canghuang Realm have already been taken away by the Heavenly God Palace people,"
the middle-aged man said.
"Taken where?"
"If you can help me find those people, I can spare your life. Otherwise, I will let you suffer endless torment before you die."
Ye Yunfei's expression darkened as he spoke.
"I heard those from the Heavenly God Palace saying they would take those prisoners from the Canghuang Realm to Tianli City to await further orders from their higher-ups."
"The Heavenly God Palace has a branch outpost within Tianli City."
The middle-aged man quickly answered.
He understood that in his current condition, escape was impossible. If he wanted to live, he could only obey the commands of this young man before him.
"Good. We go to Tianli City."
Anxious to rescue his people, Ye Yunfei declared immediately.
Then, with the middle-aged man giving directions, Ye Yunfei headed towards Tianli City.
Ye Yunfei traveled by burrowing underground.
Along the way, Ye Yunfei encountered several more Earth Dragons.
"Have you heard of the Ziwei Sect?"
While on the road, Ye Yunfei entered the Phantom Tower again and questioned the middle-aged man.
"The Ziwei Sect?"
"I know a little."
"They say it's a sect with an extremely ancient heritage. In ancient times, it produced many great experts, their prestige shook the entire Donghuang Domain, and they were even renowned throughout the entire Primordial Continent."
"It's just that now, it seems to have declined. Their strength isn't even comparable to our Tianyou Tomb."
The middle-aged man said.
"Hmm. This situation is exactly the same as in my previous life."
"After rescuing those captured from Qingyun Palace, I'll go to the Ziwei Sect."
"In my previous life, my master, Sage Monarch Zisheng, brought me out from the Tianxuan Continent to the Primordial Continent and had me enter the Ziwei Sect."
"Then, I cultivated and rose step by step from within the Ziwei Sect."
"In this life, I'll still take the Ziwei Sect as my starting point."
Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
Ye Yunfei had a special affection for the Ziwei Sect because he had spent a long time there in his previous life.
