"Young Master Su, be careful! Although this old geezer is injured, his strength is still formidable!"
Lü Dandan whispered to Ye Yunfei.
"His former strength was only a bit weaker than the General Manager's. Shortly before, he was severely wounded and fled from the General Manager, and now his injuries seem to have recovered somewhat."
"He is indeed strong.
He is an expert at the Dao Origin Realm."
Feeling the aura of the former Great Elder, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Miss, Young Master Su, I will hold them off. You two find a way to escape, then immediately contact the General Manager and have him dispatch experts to hunt this man down.
If he remains alive, our Four Directions Trading House will never know peace."
Elder Fang spoke in a hushed voice.
"Elder Fang, you are no match for him."
Lü Dandan whispered.
Elder Fang was only a Life Palace Realm Late Stage expert. Even though the former Great Elder was injured, it was uncertain whether Elder Fang could defeat him.
"I can hold out for a while. It's fine as long as you and Young Master Su are safe.
There's no time to lose. You two should find a way to escape, now!"
Elder Fang urged.
His mission was to protect Lü Dandan's safety!
"So it seems you are that Su Fei from the Ziwei Sect who suddenly made a name for himself recently. I heard you were colluding closely with this whore Lü Dandan and were on good terms. It's just as I suspected.
Hehe, you brat sure know how to stir up trouble, provoking several major powers in the Eastern Barrens.
Excellent. I'm planning to seek refuge with a major power. Capturing you will serve as a fine gift to present to the Cangyan Sacred Sect or the Zhao Family."
The former Great Elder's gaze suddenly turned towards Ye Yunfei as he sneered.
"Oh?
You want to capture me?"
Ye Yunfei's face darkened.
"Correct.
Brat, there's no escape for you."
The former Great Elder gave a cold laugh.
As his words fell.
Boom...
Rolling Demonic Qi suddenly erupted, instantly spreading and permeating the sky and earth.
A black spatial rift appeared before him, and endless Demonic Qi gushed out from that rift, along with a sinister aura that permeated outward, suppressing this stretch of heaven and earth.
Then, one fierce-looking demon after another, each grasping a pitch-black trident, charged out from this rift, spreading their wings and flying about madly in this area.
For a time, it seemed this region of the world had turned into a realm of demons!
Immediately, Ye Yunfei, Lü Dandan, and Elder Fang all felt an utterly terrifying Demonic Might pressure descend from the heavens, bearing down on their bodies. They couldn't even twitch a finger!
"Be careful!
This is a Demon Domain!
It's a phenomenon of extremely potent power!"
Elder Fang, looking at those demons, wore a grave expression.
"Haha...
Lü Dandan, you finally get to see this day!"
The former Great Elder laughed loudly.
"Everyone, forward! Seize those three first!
Don't worry, they are trapped within my domain and can't move."
The former Great Elder waved his hand and shouted.
Immediately, several Life Palace Realm experts in the surroundings simultaneously activated their movement techniques and closed in on Ye Yunfei and the other two.
As the former Great Elder of the Four Directions Trading House, he had once held a lofty position and authority. Moreover, he had long harbored ambitions to seize the General Manager's position, so he had secretly cultivated a group of die-hard loyalists.
When he fled the Trading House headquarters last time, he took this group of loyalists with him.
"Miss, Young Master Su, I'll hold them off. You escape!"
Elder Fang gritted his teeth as the spiritual power within his body began to boil, faint flames seemingly about to erupt from his body.
He planned to ignite his origin essence, stimulate his potential, and then cover Lü Dandan and Ye Yunfei's escape.
"Elder Fang, don't!
Doing so is far too dangerous!"
Lü Dandan's face changed drastically.
Elder Fang had always been her bodyguard and was also responsible for guiding her cultivation. To her, he was both a mentor and a friend. Naturally, she did not want anything to happen to him.
"Don't worry, Miss. I have cultivated several life-preservation secret arts. I won't die so easily!
Hurry and escape!"
Elder Fang roared.
"Elder Fang, there's no need for that. Rest assured, I will take us out of here."
At this moment, Ye Yunfei spoke up.
"You'll take us away?"
Elder Fang and Lü Dandan were both taken aback.
Right at that moment.
Boom...
An earth-shattering Soul Power pressure poured out from within Ye Yunfei's head.
The moment this Soul Power pressure appeared, the Demon Domain pressing down on Ye Yunfei, Lü Dandan, and Elder Fang instantly crumbled and collapsed!
Moreover, the few Life Palace Realm experts who were closing in were greatly shocked and immediately halted their advance.
"How is this possible?!"
Even the former Great Elder was startled.
Because this Soul Power pressure was too domineering, as if it could crush everything in the world!
Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei moved, bringing Elder Fang and Lü Dandan directly into the depths of space, fleeing towards the distance.
"This wisp of my Heavenly Emperor Remnant Soul is quite useful. It can be used to preserve life when necessary,"
Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
"Damn it! After them!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei and the other two escape, the former Great Elder flew into a rage and roared.
"Great Elder, that kid's Soul Power is terrifying!"
A Life Palace Realm expert said cautiously.
"Didn't you see him run away?
That means he has no confidence whatsoever to fight us.
Besides, he's just a brat with strength at the Heavenly Destiny Realm. Strength akin to an ant—does that frighten you?
I suspect he must possess a Soul Power treasure of immense power!
After them!"
The former Great Elder shouted, then took the lead and charged into the depths of space, pursuing Ye Yunfei.
The others also followed the former Great Elder, chasing into the depths of space.
However, as soon as Ye Yunfei entered the depths of space, he immediately summoned the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm to carry the Phantom Tower and escape.
Ye Yunfei brought Lü Dandan and Elder Fang into the Phantom Tower.
Swoosh!
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm darted through space at incredible speed.
"Over there!"
Truly a Dao Origin Realm expert, the former Great Elder was actually able to accurately sense the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm's aura and pursued along the trail.
"That old man's perception is way too potent!"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm couldn't help but exclaim.
"An expert at the Dao Origin Realm is certainly formidable. You need to escape faster. If he catches up, none of us can defeat him."
Ye Yunfei said to the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
"Don't worry. Although I can't defeat him, he won't find it so easy to catch up to me."
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm replied.
As it spoke, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm sped up its escape even more.
"Looking at it, that seems to be the legendary Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm!
That's a beast of ancient lineage, quite rare. I never expected that kid to have tamed one!"
The former Great Elder sensed the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm with his Soul Power and quickly recognized its identity, feeling somewhat surprised.
A short while later, the former Great Elder discovered, to his disbelief, that he actually couldn't catch up to the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm!
"Halt!"
The former Great Elder reached out from afar, grasping towards the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm. Profound laws traversed the intervening space.
Bang!
Caught off guard, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm was struck by a strand of law power and sent tumbling repeatedly.
However, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm race excelled in spatial energy. At such a distance through space, even a Dao Origin Realm expert couldn't harm it easily, much less this former Great Elder, who was severely wounded with only four or five-tenths of his combat power remaining.
Swoosh!
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm flipped over and instantly vanished into space.
About an hour later.
"Damn it!"
Standing in the depths of space, the former Great Elder roared repeatedly. He could no longer sense the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm's aura!
"Su Fei! Lü Dandan! You cursed couple! The next time I encounter you, I definitely won't let you go!"
The former Great Elder ground his teeth in hatred.
