"What's going on? The experts from Heavenly God Palace have all been mobilized! They seem to be chasing a young man!"
By now, the commotion at Heavenly God Palace's Branch Stronghold had alarmed the entire Tianli City. Numerous martial practitioners gathered to watch the spectacle, utterly shocked to see several dozen Dao Transformation Realm experts appear simultaneously.
"Little thief, you think you can escape?!"
"Stop right there!"
Several dozen Dao Transformation Realm experts from Heavenly God Palace swept across the sky above the city together. The energy pressure they released stirred the entire city, the rumbling thunderous.
The terrifying energy pressure forced many weaker martial practitioners to immediately prostrate themselves on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.
The blue-robed elder with cultivation at the Dao Transformation Realm Perfect stage was at the forefront. His Soul Power locked onto Ye Yunfei, his killing intent boiling.
Boom...
Suddenly, with a flick of his mind, the blue-robed elder released a rolling wave of Soul Power, blasting across space toward Ye Yunfei's head.
The speed of Soul Power was horrifying, catching up to Ye Yunfei in an instant.
Rustle, rustle...
Within Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea, the Soul Tree abruptly manifested, extending a large number of branches and leaves. They cascaded toward the blue-robed elder's Soul Power, directly absorbing it.
"How is this possible!"
The blue-robed elder was greatly alarmed to find his released Soul Power being forcibly absorbed.
"Deploy artifacts! Attack him at range!" he roared in shock and anger.
Boom! Boom!
Artifacts were deployed one after another, erupting with rolling waves of energy aimed at Ye Yunfei.
"Go back and tell your Palace Master that I will destroy Heavenly God Palace sooner or later," Ye Yunfei said coldly over his shoulder.
Then, Ye Yunfei directly teleported into the Phantom Tower.
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkwerm appeared, carrying the Phantom Tower. It transformed into a golden streak of light, directly burrowing into space and disappearing without a trace.
Having undergone another bloodline breakthrough, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkwerm's mastery of spatial energy had greatly increased. Moreover, it had awakened several inheritance secret arts. Once it penetrated deep into space, it was as elusive as a ghost, impossible to track.
The Dao Transformation Realm experts from Heavenly God Palace chasing behind suddenly realized they could no longer sense Ye Yunfei's aura!
"Damned it!"
The leading blue-robed elder was so enraged his face contorted, his fury having nowhere to vent. He nearly ground his teeth to dust.
The other experts from Heavenly God Palace were also hopping mad, one after another.
As members of Heavenly God Palace, they were usually incredibly arrogant, with no one daring to provoke them.
Yet today, they had suffered such a heavy loss. A young man of unknown origin had broken into their Branch Stronghold, killed so many of their people, and rescued all the prisoners.
"Did you hear that? That kid just said he would destroy Heavenly God Palace sooner or later! Heavens, how dare he say such a thing?"
"It's truly the brashness of youth! This boy is in deep trouble. Based on that statement alone, Heavenly God Palace will definitely not let him off! And it's not just him; probably his family, his sect, his relatives and friends could all be implicated!"
"Perhaps this young man has a powerful background. Although Heavenly God Palace is formidable, there are many major powers on the Primordial Continent, even some superpowers stronger than Heavenly God Palace!"
At this time, many martial practitioners in Tianli City were heatedly discussing Ye Yunfei's earlier words.
Shortly after, another shocking piece of news rapidly spread through Tianli City: the forces at Heavenly God Palace's Branch Stronghold had been more than halved, suffering heavy casualties! Four early-stage Dao Transformation Realm experts had been killed!
And the perpetrator was precisely the young man chased by Heavenly God Palace's Dao Transformation Realm experts!
The news instantly caused an uproar throughout Tianli City.
Moreover, this news began spreading throughout the Eastern Barren Lands at an astonishing rate.
"He's insane! To provoke Heavenly God Palace like that... Is he declaring war on Heavenly God Palace?"
Everyone who heard the news was deeply shocked.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei was already far from Tianli City, submerged deep beneath the earth. He stood atop the head of an Earth Dragon, traveling everywhere underground.
Finally, in the deep earth below a depth of three thousand meters, he found an underground palace and took temporary shelter there.
"Do you wish to stay on the Primordial Continent, or do you want to return to the Canghuang Realm? If you wish to go back, I can send you there now," Ye Yunfei said, entering the Phantom Tower and appearing before the hundreds of Qingyun Palace members.
The Teleportation Altar connecting to the Canghuang Realm had already fallen into Ye Yunfei's hands; he could return to the Canghuang Realm at any time.
"I'll stay on the Primordial Continent. This advanced world is more beneficial for my cultivation," Dugu Huan stated.
"I'm staying on the Primordial Continent too," Du Fan also said. "It wasn't easy to come to an advanced world; I don't want to go back so soon."
"What about you, Palace Master Ye? Will you stay on the Primordial Continent, or return to the Canghuang Realm?" an elderly man asked.
This elder was the sixth among the Seven Great Bandits, named Ma Tiantu.
"Yes, Palace Master Ye. What about you?"
The others also looked at Ye Yunfei.
"I will stay on the Primordial Continent," Ye Yunfei replied.
"Palace Master Ye, since you are staying, we will follow and stay here too. Palace Master Ye, I have an idea. Why don't we establish a branch stronghold of Qingyun Palace here on the Primordial Continent? We can develop and grow it slowly," Ma Tiantu suggested.
"With Heavenly God Palace present, we cannot establish a Qingyun Palace branch stronghold for the time being. Since you are all willing to stay, very well. I will find a place to settle you all," Ye Yunfei said after thinking for a moment.
Primordial Continent was an advanced world. Living and cultivating here would naturally be much better than returning to the Canghuang Realm.
"However, you must remember that with your current strength, you would be among the weakest beings on the Primordial Continent. Your current utmost priority is to cultivate diligently, striving to increase your strength rapidly. Otherwise, your life in this advanced world will be one of wretchedness and humiliation. It's not just you; even at my current level, I don't count as much of an expert on the Primordial Continent either," Ye Yunfei said solemnly.
"Palace Master Ye, don't worry! We will cultivate diligently!" the hundreds of Qingyun Palace members chorused.
"But don't be too concerned either. I will lead you all to become stronger together," Ye Yunfei added.
Hearing this, everyone's spirits were greatly lifted. In their eyes, Ye Yunfei had always seemed capable of anything.
"Next... it's time to go to the Ziwei Sect." Ye Yunfei's gaze shifted toward a certain direction as he murmured inwardly.
The Ziwei Sect held many of Ye Yunfei's memories. In this life, he intended to start from there once again!
"I wonder where Master is now. Is he still at the Ziwei Sect?" Ye Yunfei couldn't help but recall his Master from his previous life, Zisheng Zhenjun.
At the same time, within the primeval forest Ye Yunfei had first teleported to.
A large group of black-clad figures arrived, rushing into the forest to look around.
This primeval forest was a secret stronghold of Tianyou Tomb. All its personnel had been killed by Ye Yunfei. Being unable to contact this Branch Stronghold, the Tianyou Tomb headquarters had sent people to investigate.
"Bad news! The Teleportation Altar connecting to the Canghuang Realm is gone! Only a deep pit remains!" Those black-clad figures rushed into the palace within the forest. Seeing only a deep pit in the hall, they stared in stunned disbelief.
"Everyone stationed at this stronghold is dead! Not a single one remains!"
"Report this to the Tomb Master immediately!"
These black-clad figures searched everywhere within this primeval forest, only to find all their people dead. One after another, they roared in fury.
Half a day later, many Tianyou Tomb experts who received the news hurriedly gathered, rushing into this forest to get to the bottom of things.
Rumble...
Suddenly, a pitch-black airship appeared like a massive ghost, soundless and at an astonishing speed, halting in the air above the forest.
Then, a black-robed elder emerged from the airship. In a single step, he arrived inside the palace within the forest.
"Elder Xing is here!"
The other Tianyou Tomb members were all greatly alarmed, carefully maintaining silence, afraid to make any noise that might disturb this black-robed elder.
For this black-robed elder was a Supreme Elder of Tianyou Tomb, his status and position even higher than that of the Tomb Master!
The black-robed elder walked to the edge of the deep pit inside the palace, gazing intently at it without uttering a word. This pit was the former location of the Teleportation Altar. Ye Yunfei had dug it out, leaving only this hole.
"We greet Elder Xing!"
Over a dozen Tianyou Tomb experts charged into the palace, saluting the black-robed elder together. They had arrived earlier and were inspecting the area when they learned Elder Xing had come, rushing over to pay their respects.
"Who is responsible?" Elder Xing asked. His voice was eerily calm.
"We have no leads at the moment. All our Tianyou Tomb personnel stationed here were killed. The Attendant Lu is also missing. It's currently impossible to determine who did this," one Tianyou Tomb expert answered.
"But please rest assured, Elder Xing, we will thoroughly investigate this matter and find the culprit!" The expert continued.
Boom! Boom!
Just then, several sharp auras tore through the air.
Five men with sharp, imposing auras walked into the palace.
"Members of Heavenly God Palace have arrived!"
Elder Xing was inwardly startled and hurried forward to greet them.
Although he was a Tianyou Tomb Supreme Elder with high status and position, he did not dare put on airs when facing Heavenly God Palace.
Because Tianyou Tomb's strength was far inferior to Heavenly God Palace's!
"Elder Xing, what happened? Where is the Teleportation Altar connecting to the Canghuang Realm?" one of the five Heavenly God Palace experts who entered the palace asked with a frown, looking at the deep pit in the center of the hall.
This pit was originally the site of a Teleportation Altar. After Ye Yunfei dug it up, only the hole remained.
"That Teleportation Altar has disappeared. We are also investigating exactly what happened," Elder Xing replied.
"What? Disappeared? Our Heavenly God Palace still has a large group of people in the Canghuang Realm! Now that this Teleportation Altar is gone, how will they return?"
The five Heavenly God Palace experts were stunned.
"Rest assured, everyone! Our Tianyou Tomb will definitely thoroughly investigate this and retrieve that Teleportation Altar! We also have a large group of people in the Canghuang Realm, so we will definitely get it back!" Elder Xing hastened to answer.
"I will return now to report this to the Palace Master. Hmph, your Tianyou Tomb had better retrieve that Teleportation Altar. Otherwise, if our Palace Master takes offense, your Tianyou Tomb cannot bear the consequences," one Heavenly God Palace expert said coldly.
Then, the expert turned and left, leaping into the air and instantly vanishing into the distance.
"Elder Xing, let us begin investigating this matter. It's best to retrieve that Teleportation Altar quickly; otherwise, the consequences truly will be severe. Our Palace Master places great importance on that altar," said one of the remaining four Heavenly God Palace experts who stayed in the hall.
