"Young Master Su, which other forces can you summon?"
Lü Yugang was somewhat curious.
"You'll know in due time, Shopkeeper Lu."
Ye Yunfei smiled.
Next, Ye Yunfei took out over ten jade slips and, utilizing his Soul Power, carved a great deal of information into them.
"Shopkeeper Lu, dispatch someone now to help me deliver these jade slips to the specified factions and families," Ye Yunfei said to Lü Yugang.
"Very well.
Elder Mo, you handle this matter."
Lü Yugang nodded, speaking to an Elder Mo from the Four Directions Trading House.
"Understood, I will attend to it immediately."
Elder Mo stood up, received the dozen-plus jade slips, then left the flying vessel.
"Shopkeeper Lu, dispatch another group of scouts to gather all kinds of information on the forces of the Corpse World," Ye Yunfei instructed Lü Yugang.
"Agreed."
Lü Yugang nodded and immediately issued the order, sending out a group of scouts to gather intelligence on the Corpse World.
He now held immense trust in Ye Yunfei; he essentially followed whatever Ye Yunfei said.
"Young Master Su, where are we headed now?"
Lü Yugang asked.
"First, to the headquarters of the Four Directions Trading House. I intend to set up a batch of Formations to safeguard the security of your headquarters.
Shopkeeper Lu, send people right away to procure a batch of formation materials and deliver them to me."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment before replying.
"Set up a batch of Formations?"
Lü Yugang was taken aback.
"Yes.
Shopkeeper Lu, rest assured, you won't be disappointed."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Not long after, they arrived at the headquarters of the Four Directions Trading House.
The Four Directions Trading House was originally a force primarily focused on business, making the procurement of various materials quite convenient.
Soon, vast quantities of formation materials continuously converged into Ye Yunfei's hands.
Ye Yunfei then began arranging Formations inside and outside the trading house's headquarters.
As his strength increased, Ye Yunfei's current mastery of formations had also risen significantly.
One day later.
Ye Yunfei had already completed several large-scale Formations.
"Young Master Su, what is the might of these Formations?"
Lü Yugang stayed by Ye Yunfei's side, occasionally lending a hand as requested, watching one grand formation take shape after another. He couldn't help but ask.
"The great formations I have set up will be very difficult for Dao Origin Realm experts to breach,"
Ye Yunfei smiled.
"So powerful?"
Upon hearing this, Lü Yugang was astonished, finding it somewhat hard to believe.
"Shopkeeper Lu can try them out."
Ye Yunfei said.
"Alright!"
Lü Yugang immediately acted, launching an attack towards one of the large formations.
Boom! Boom!...
Blasts of violent energy smashed against the formation, causing it to shudder slightly.
However, aside from shaking, the formation didn't sustain any damage from his attack.
"Indeed, formidable!"
After attacking the formation for a while without breaking it, Lü Yugang was both shocked and delighted.
He was, after all, at the Great Perfection of the Dao Origin Realm, among the very strongest within that realm.
If even he couldn't break this formation, then regular Dao Origin Realm experts would find it even more difficult.
Moreover, the great formations Ye Yunfei had set up weren't just limited to this one!
"Young Master Su, the formations you've constructed are even more powerful than our Four Directions Trading House's guardian grand formation!
With this batch of formations, the defensive capabilities of our headquarters will rise to a whole new level!"
Lü Yugang said excitedly.
"No, Shopkeeper Lu, your trading house's guardian grand formation was originally very powerful. It's just that, falling into disrepair over the years, its power has diminished by more than half.
I will now begin repairing this guardian formation. Then you'll understand its true might."
Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
Following this, Ye Yunfei commenced the restoration of the guardian grand formation at the Four Directions Trading House headquarters.
Thanks to the ample supply of various formation materials procured by the trading house, progress was very swift. In just two days, the guardian formation was fully restored.
"The formation is complete!"
Ye Yunfei stood at the formation's core nexus, stamped his foot suddenly, and uttered a soft command.
Rumble...
A colossal formation rose into the air like a giant umbrella, enveloping the entire headquarters of the Four Directions Trading House.
"Chief Shopkeeper, is this truly the guardian formation of our headquarters?
Its power is too immense!"
The various upper echelons of the Four Directions Trading House rushed out one after another, gazing with awe at the newly restored formation, exclaiming in surprise.
These Dao Origin Realm experts could naturally sense the formidable power emanating from this great formation.
"Haha...
Young Master Su, you were right.
Only now do I realize how incredibly powerful our headquarters' guardian formation truly is!"
Lü Yugang laughed heartily.
"Next, let's also set up a batch of Earth Formations here."
Ye Yunfei's figure flashed, diving underground. He took out the Zhan Dapan and the Gan Longbian and began guiding the earth energy of this land, arranging various Earth Formations and treacherous grounds.
Another day passed.
Finally, Ye Yunfei had set up a batch of Earth Formations.
Thus, inside and outside the Four Directions Trading House headquarters, Formations and Earth Formations were everywhere, creating extremely tight defenses.
Forget a single Dao Origin Realm expert, even if a group of them came, it would be very difficult to break in.
"My current mastery of formations has indeed improved greatly."
Ye Yunfei mused inwardly.
"Shopkeeper Lu, let's now return to the Ziwei Sect headquarters."
Ye Yunfei said to Lü Yugang.
The reason Ye Yunfei had specifically come to set up these formations at the trading house headquarters was to eliminate Lü Yugang's worries about its security.
"Good. I will immediately assemble a team of elite personnel to accompany you to the Ziwei Sect."
Lü Yugang nodded.
Half a day later.
Ye Yunfei and Lü Yugang, leading the Four Directions Trading House forces, boarded the flying vessel and set off in the direction of the Ziwei Sect in Yan Country.
At the same time.
Within the Eastern Barrens, many forces received a jade slip.
Clear Breeze Temple.
The Clear Breeze Temple was an exceedingly low-key force within the Eastern Barrens, almost isolated from worldly affairs, to the point that very few paid it any attention.
However, only a handful of ancient cultivators in the Eastern Barrens knew that while this force was unassuming, its true strength was astonishing. Moreover, in the history of the Eastern Barrens, it had once been illustrious, ranking among the very top major powers of the ancient Eastern Barrens!
"Who sent this jade slip?!"
Inside one of the temple halls at the Clear Breeze Temple, an old Daoist seated cross-legged in meditation was quietly cultivating when a young Daoist hurriedly brought in a jade slip.
After reading the contents of the jade slip, the old Daoist instantly stood up, his face filled with shock, and questioned the young Daoist.
The young Daoist was startled, retreating repeatedly, unable to speak.
In his memory, he had never seen this old Daoist's emotions fluctuate so violently.
"Do not be afraid, speak slowly. Who sent this jade slip?"
The old Daoist asked gently.
"It was delivered by an elder from the Four Directions Trading House, saying he was acting on behalf of Young Master Su Fei of the Ziwei Sect."
The young Daoist regained his composure and whispered.
"Issue the order, gather everyone immediately at the Clear Heart Hall. We are preparing to go to the Ziwei Sect in Yan Country!"
The old Daoist pondered briefly before speaking with a heavy tone.
At the same time.
In a remote small village somewhere in the Eastern Barrens.
An old man held a jade slip, standing beneath a large tree at the village entrance, lost in thought for a long time.
"I never imagined someone in the Eastern Barrens still remembers our Lin Family.
Very well, let's go take a look."
The old man murmured to himself.
Not long after, the old man led a group of villagers into a flying vessel, which soared into the sky, heading towards the Ziwei Sect.
