"Young Master Su, you really killed Lu Wuque!"
The Vermilion Bird Princess stared at Ye Yunfei with beautiful, shocked eyes, finding it hard to believe as she watched him punch Lu Wuque to death.
All this time, she had been hunted by Lu Wuque. They had already fought several fierce battles, yet she couldn't shake him off.
Who could have imagined that Ye Yunfei would be the one to settle him.
"Wonderful!
That damned bastard is finally dead!"
"Hmph!
So much for the Heavenly God Palace's monstrous genius! Compared to Young Master Su, he's just good-for-nothing rubbish!"
"Young Master Su is too amazing!
He's practically my idol!"
"You little tart, do you have a crush on Young Master Su now?"
"So what if I do? Where else could you find a man as outstanding as Young Master Su?!"
...
A dozen or so demon girls actually swarmed around Ye Yunfei, their chattering praises and the faint scents that wafted toward him. These girls belonged to the Enchantress tribe; they were innately bewitching and alluring, and their bold, direct personalities meant they spoke their minds without reservation when it came to matters between men and women.
"Don't you all joke around with Young Master Su!"
The Vermilion Bird Princess sounded rather helpless as she quickly intervened. Although these dozen or so demon girls were her maidservants, they had grown up together like sisters and were used to this playful banter.
"You brat! How dare you kill Wuque?! You're dead for sure!"
Seeing Lu Wuque beaten to death, the Heavenly God Palace experts in the distance flew into a rage and charged toward Ye Yunfei.
"Hahaha... Well killed!"
In contrast, the Demon Race experts roared with delighted laughter, intercepting the Heavenly God Palace members with all their might.
"Who killed Wuque?!"
Suddenly, a group of horsemen came thundering from afar, led by a tall, skinny old man whose face was contorted with fury.
"Elder Yue has arrived!"
The Heavenly God Palace members currently locked in fierce combat with the Demon Race forces were ecstatic to see the tall, skinny elder arrive.
"Not good! Everyone, retreat quickly!"
The Demon Race forces, however, panicked at the sight of this Elder Yue. He was an ordinary elder of the Heavenly God Palace and one of the main leaders in charge of hunting the Eastern Barrens Demon Race this time. His strength was extraordinarily fearsome. Countless demons had already died by his hand!
"Not a single one of you will escape!"
Elder Yue's gaze was ice-cold as he spoke. Although his words were soft, they seemed to possess a strange, magical power that reverberated throughout the heavens and earth.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! RUMBLE...
Following Elder Yue's voice, the roars of formations arose continuously from all directions as grand arrays emerged one after another. Even high up in the sky, arrays kept appearing.
"Not good! It's the Heavenly God Palace's Imprisoning Heaven and Earth Grand Formation!
This entire expanse of space has been locked down!"
The expressions of the Demon Race experts all drastically changed.
"Protect the young mistress!
Even if we have to sacrifice ourselves, we must help her break out!"
The old woman Sound-Transmitted to the other Demon Race experts.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
One Demon Race expert after another rushed back to the Vermilion Bird Princess's side. Like a receding tide, the Demon Race forces continuously gathered around the Vermilion Bird Princess, protecting her in their center.
For this group of Demon Race forces, their primary task was protecting the Vermilion Bird Princess!
"By my command, protect the Princess. Slaughter a bloody path through the encirclement."
The old woman whispered her orders.
"Young Master Su, I'm sorry you've been implicated this time.
That old man is extremely frightening. None of us are a match for him. If there's an opportunity, you should flee."
The Vermilion Bird Princess Sound-Transmitted to Ye Yunfei.
"That old fellow is indeed rather frightening."
Ye Yunfei frowned. With Ye Yunfei's current strength and trump cards, he absolutely could not defeat this old man. The gap was simply too vast.
"Don't dream of escaping. Before me, you have no chance of getting away."
Elder Yue's tone was utterly devoid of warmth.
One team after another of Heavenly God Palace forces appeared endlessly, surrounding and blocking every direction.
"The situation looks rather bad."
The old woman standing beside the Vermilion Bird Princess couldn't help but frown, seeing such a formation. Elder Yue alone was impossible to handle; combined with so many Heavenly God Palace forces, the situation was even worse.
"It seems the Heavenly God Palace is determined to capture me this time.
Granny Liu, later, think of a way to kill through the encirclement and go find my father to save me."
The Vermilion Bird Princess thought for a moment and said.
She understood that under these circumstances, breaking out was almost impossible.
"Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, can you tear through space to leave?"
Ye Yunfei Sound-Transmitted to the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
"Very difficult. This space is being suppressed by an immensely powerful grand formation.
Moreover, that old fellow's spatial energy level is likely no lower than mine, perhaps even higher. Trying to escape by tearing through space in front of him would be hard, I estimate."
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm replied.
"Even if it's difficult, we have to try.
Alright, I'll break the formation, and you're in charge of tearing through space to take us away.
We can only take the gamble."
Ye Yunfei said. Even as he spoke, he had already released his Soul Power and begun studying the Imprisoning Heaven and Earth Grand Formation arranged around them.
"Fine."
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm agreed.
"You brat, was it you who killed Wuque?"
At that moment, Elder Yue's gaze suddenly swept toward Ye Yunfei, locking onto him.
RUMBLE...
An absolutely terrifying Soul Power pressure rolled toward him, trying to crash into Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea and shatter his Soul Body.
It had to be said that this Elder Yue's Soul Power was too horrifying. Ye Yunfei felt as if his head was about to split open, staggering back several steps as blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.
Swish, swish, swish...
At this critical moment, the Soul Tree materialized and began devouring Elder Yue's Soul Power. Simultaneously, deep within Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea, that trace of the Heavenly Emperor's Remnant Soul also began to react, releasing a formidable counter-force.
"How is this possible?"
Feeling the tremendous counter-force emanating from Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea, Elder Yue couldn't help his expression changing slightly.
"This brat's Soul Sea seems to harbor an extremely formidable energy!
It appears to be the Remnant Soul left by some peerless expert!
Could it be... this boy comes from a top-tier power?"
Elder Yue grew somewhat hesitant and uncertain. If that were the case, he wouldn't dare rashly attempt to kill him.
"You boy, which power's scion are you?"
Elder Yue's piercing eyes fixed on Ye Yunfei as he demanded.
"Don't worry. I have no special background."
Ye Yunfei answered coldly.
"Good. Regardless of your origins, I'll capture you first.
Those who kill members of our Heavenly God Palace must be punished."
Elder Yue's face darkened.
"Take action. Kill them all."
Elder Yue waved a hand, speaking coldly.
"Protect the Princess!"
The old woman shouted in a low voice.
Both sides were poised for action, swords drawn and bows bent; it seemed a fierce battle was about to begin.
Right then...
"You Heavenly God Palace hunts our Demon Race across the land, do you truly think the Eastern Barrens Demon Race is so easy to bully?"
A voice rang out. Although its tone was mild, it was like the heavens declaring their wrath, causing the very heavens and earth to tremble.
A terrifying wave of demonic power pressure rolled forth!
"Father!"
Hearing this voice, the Vermilion Bird Princess couldn't help her elation.
