“Perhaps only by finding some rare and precious soul-type heavenly treasures can Miss Ji Yue’s soul be healed.”
Huang Shang sighed as he spoke.
“Yes. There are many rare soul-type treasures in the world that can heal Senior Sister Ji Yue, but they are extremely difficult to find.”
Ye Yunfei nodded.
At that moment.
“I feel so sleepy, I really want to sleep.”
Ji Yue, who was talking with Ji Yan, suddenly yawned and said weakly, then slowly closed her eyes and slipped into unconsciousness.
Ye Yunfei stepped forward and placed his hand on Ji Yue’s slender shoulder again, activating his Greenwood Emperor Body to continuously transmit life energy to her.
“Su Fei, what exactly is wrong with Ji Yue? Tell me honestly!”
Ji Yan sensed that something was amiss and asked Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei had been conversing with Huang Shang via soul transmission earlier, so she hadn’t heard anything.
Ye Yunfei sighed, transmitting life energy to Ji Yue while briefly explaining her current condition to Ji Yan.
“Su Fei, will Ji Yue die? You mustn’t let her die! You have to save her! You absolutely cannot give up on Ji Yue! Right now, you are the person she admires most! I can tell that she’s actually fallen for you!”
After hearing this, Ji Yan was utterly panicked and spoke to Ye Yunfei without restraint.
She and Ji Yue had grown up together since childhood, sharing a deep sisterly bond; she simply couldn’t accept that Ji Yue might come to harm. Afraid that Ye Yunfei would abandon Ji Yue, she no longer held back in her words.
“Senior Sister Ji Yue likes me?”
Ye Yunfei was taken aback, unsure how to respond.
“Don’t worry, no matter what, I will definitely save Senior Sister Ji Yue.”
Ye Yunfei said to Ji Yan.
“Really? Then promise me you won’t give up on Ji Yue!”
Ji Yan fixed her beautiful eyes on Ye Yunfei and said.
“I promise.”
Ye Yunfei nodded.
“Ji Yue wasn’t wrong about you. Su Fei, thank you.”
Ji Yan felt slightly more at ease and spoke softly.
“No need to thank me. This is what I should do.”
Ye Yunfei smiled bitterly.
If it weren’t for shielding him from that sword strike, Ji Yue wouldn’t have ended up like this. Given Ye Yunfei’s character, he naturally couldn’t abandon her.
“Tianyou Tomb!”
Ye Yunfei looked up into the distance, his eyes surging with boundless killing intent.
“You really want to kill me, don’t you? Fine, I’ll let you have your fill of killing.”
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and said.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei had a strong impulse to kill—specifically, to kill members of Tianyou Tomb! Because they were the culprits behind this entire incident!
“Senior Sister Ji Yue, come, let’s go get revenge for you!”
Ye Yunfei said.
Then Ye Yunfei waved his hand, teleporting Ji Yue into the Phantom Tower.
Since Ye Yunfei had just transmitted a considerable amount of life energy from his Greenwood Emperor Body to Ji Yue, her condition began to improve again. For now, Ye Yunfei sealed her in a state of restful hibernation.
Next, Ye Yunfei’s figure flashed as he arrived on a mountaintop near Ziwei Sect’s headquarters, where he sat down cross-legged.
“Su Fei, why have you come out here?”
Sect Leader Liu and other high-ranking members of Ziwei Sect hurried over upon hearing the news.
“Go back. From now on, Ziwei Sect will continue to seal its mountain gates. No matter what happens, no one is allowed to come out.”
Ye Yunfei said.
“This…”
Sect Leader Liu and the other high-ranking members exchanged glances after hearing Ye Yunfei’s words.
“Just do as I say. Also, immediately send someone to contact Steward Lü and have him help me purchase soul-type medicinal herbs and treasures. The greater the quantity, the better; the higher the grade, the better. Spare no expense.”
Ye Yunfei said to Sect Leader Liu.
“Alright.”
Sect Leader Liu thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
So he returned to the headquarters with the other high-ranking members and ordered the mountain gates to remain sealed.
Whoosh…
Ye Yunfei activated his Greenwood Emperor Body, generating tremendous suction force. From all the plants in the nearby area, wisps of azure mist were rapidly extracted—these were life energies of the utmost purity.
From afar, it looked as if vast amounts of azure mist were converging toward Ye Yunfei from all directions, then being absorbed into his body.
One hour later.
A dark figure flashed and vanished in the distance.
Ye Yunfei sensed it, abruptly opened his eyes, and looked in that direction, a cold smile curling his lips.
Ye Yunfei knew that dark figure was undoubtedly an assassin from Tianyou Tomb!
The reason Ye Yunfei had come outside the headquarters was precisely to lure Tianyou Tomb assassins here.
Of course, Ye Yunfei also knew that experts from the Corpse World would surely come as well.
“Come. The more, the better.”
Ye Yunfei gazed at the distant horizon, his heart filled with killing intent.
One day later.
Members of the Four Directions Commerce began delivering large batches of soul-type medicinal herbs and treasures continuously.
These herbs and treasures were procured and collected throughout the Eastern Barrens by Lü Yugang, who mobilized all over a dozen factions of the Tianxuan Army.
Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged on the mountaintop, took out a pill cauldron, and began refining pills.
Soon, various soul-type pills were refined one after another.
Ye Yunfei divided these soul-type pills into two portions: one he absorbed and refined himself, the other he forcibly infused into Ji Yue’s soul sea using secret techniques, merging them into her Soul Body.
In effect, Ye Yunfei was cultivating his own Soul Power while simultaneously helping Ji Yue cultivate hers.
After Ji Yue absorbed the Soul Power energy from those pills, the quality of her Soul Body soared dramatically!
However, this was of little use to her soul.
As Huang Shang had said, her soul was severely injured, riddled with holes like a sieve; no amount of Soul Power energy could be retained.
For several days in a row, Ye Yunfei focused on pill refining and cultivation.
By this time, almost half of the plants in the surrounding area of Ziwei Sect had been drained of life energy by Ye Yunfei, withering completely.
Ye Yunfei stored this life energy within his body, periodically transmitting it to Ji Yue.
“That boy seems to have been provoked. This time, our Ziwei Sect has indeed suffered many losses. Given his temperament, he will definitely settle scores with Tianyou Tomb.”
Inside the headquarters, before the Ancestral Hall, the Profound Turtle observed Ye Yunfei from afar and sighed.
Because the Ancestral Hall contained the Great Emperor Dao Rhymes left behind by the Ziwei Great Emperor, which benefited his cultivation, he had been staying here, cultivating and contemplating every day.
Several days later.
Ye Yunfei noticed many concealed figures stealthily approaching his position from all directions.
These figures were all hidden within space.
Assassins from Tianyou Tomb had arrived!
At the same time, a large group of people emanating thick corpse energy also appeared, concealed within the surrounding complex terrain, advancing toward Ye Yunfei like ghosts along the ground.
“This time, over a dozen early-stage Origin Creation Realm experts have come.”
Ye Yunfei used his Soul Power to sense and roughly gauged the strength of those Tianyou Tomb assassins and Corpse World forces.
A total of fourteen Origin Creation Realm experts!
Sixty to seventy Crushing Stars Realm experts!
Three to four hundred Dao Origin Realm experts!
Such overall strength was enough to easily subdue the entire Eastern Barrens.
Even the Eastern Barrens Demonic Race would be unable to withstand it!
“It seems that to deal with me, Tianyou Tomb and the Corpse World are beginning to spare no cost.”
Ye Yunfei revealed a cold smile.
Ye Yunfei understood that these Tianyou Tomb and Corpse World forces before him must have come from the Central Divine Continent.
Because the Eastern Barrens simply didn’t have this many Crushing Stars Realm and Origin Creation Realm experts!
“My Blood Clan Clone can have another good feast.”
With a thought from Ye Yunfei, his Blood Clan Clone appeared beside him, engulfed in a sea of blood mist.
“Oh no! Many terrifying experts have arrived outside!”
Inside Ziwei Sect’s headquarters, Sect Leader Liu and other high-ranking members sensed the terrifying energy pressures appearing around the headquarters and their expressions changed.
“Stay calm and remain inside the headquarters.”
The Profound Turtle’s voice echoed in the ears of every Ziwei Sect high-ranking member.
On the mountaintop, Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged, appearing indifferent to the approaching Tianyou Tomb and Corpse World forces surrounding him.
Ji Yue sat cross-legged in front of Ye Yunfei, facing him.
Ye Yunfei transmitted life energy from his Greenwood Emperor Body to her periodically, ensuring she maintained her vitality.
Moreover, because Ye Yunfei had merged large amounts of Soul Power energy into her Soul Body, it had become immensely powerful. Waves of formidable Soul Power pressure surged within her soul sea, even overflowing beyond her head to form a soul halo, looking quite divine and mystical.
Ye Yunfei had previously sealed her, so she remained in an unconscious state.
Ye Yunfei pointed with his finger, and Ji Yue’s delicate body trembled slightly as she gradually awoke.
“Su Fei! Where are we?”
Ji Yue immediately saw Ye Yunfei and asked urgently.
“We are outside the headquarters. Senior Sister Ji Yue, let’s slay enemies together now.”
Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
“Slay enemies together?”
Ji Yue was taken aback.
“Ah! Su Fei, there are so many people; they’re surrounding us. They look like assassins from Tianyou Tomb and forces from the Corpse World!”
Ji Yue suddenly noticed the forces advancing from all directions and couldn’t help but turn pale with shock.
“Senior Sister Ji Yue, don’t be afraid. I deliberately lured them here. Come, let’s go eliminate them together.”
Ye Yunfei stood up and said.
“The two of us, eliminate them together? Is that possible?”
Ji Yue was stunned upon hearing this.
“Of course. Senior Sister Ji Yue, just trust me.”
Ye Yunfei nodded.
“Alright.”
Ji Yue could only nod.
In this situation, escape seemed impossible anyway.
By this time, the Tianyou Tomb and Corpse World forces had closed in, surrounding Ye Yunfei and Ji Yue from all directions, each exuding fierce killing intent.
“Are you Su Fei?”
A masked Origin Creation Realm expert stepped forward, his sinister gaze fixed on Ye Yunfei as he shouted coldly.
Then, thirteen more Origin Creation Realm experts stepped forward, standing side by side.
A total of fourteen Origin Creation Realm experts!
“Don’t speak. Let me kill in peace.”
Ye Yunfei swept a glance at the fourteen Origin Creation Realm experts and said with disgust.
Whoosh!
At that moment, a piece of yellow cloth shot out from Ziwei Sect’s headquarters at an inconceivable speed, instantly arriving before Ye Yunfei.
“Ji Yue, watch me kill them one by one and vent your anger.”
Ye Yunfei smiled and said to Ji Yue.
“Audacious…”
The fourteen Origin Creation Realm experts were enraged upon hearing this.
“Die!”
Ye Yunfei pointed with his finger and uttered softly.
Pfft!
The yellow cloth spun and sliced toward one of the Origin Creation Realm experts, radiating divine light in rolling waves.
“How is this possible!”
That Origin Creation Realm expert was horrified to find himself immobilized by a domineering energy, unable to move at all. He watched helplessly as the yellow cloth flew before him, then lightly traced across his skull, instantly splitting his head in two, brain matter splattering.
“Your turn.”
Ye Yunfei pointed at another Origin Creation Realm expert nearby and said softly.
Pfft!
The yellow cloth spun and sliced, directly cleaving that Origin Creation Realm expert’s body in half from head to toe.
Next, Ye Yunfei pointed at five more Origin Creation Realm experts consecutively, and the yellow cloth killed each of them in an instant, simpler than slaughtering chickens or dogs.
“How is this possible!”
The remaining seven Origin Creation Realm experts were terrified out of their wits, trembling from head to toe.
“This is the true Great Emperor’s Edict! From now on, let’s see who in these lands dares to provoke our Ziwei Sect!”
Inside the headquarters, the Profound Turtle witnessed this scene, tears streaming down his face in excitement.
