"What?
The Fifth Prince of the Corpse World was captured by that Su Fei from the Eastern Barrens?
And it happened at a gathering of young geniuses?"
Not long after, the incident that occurred in the Ninth Corpse City quickly spread, causing quite a stir.
Then, the various details of the banquet also began to circulate.
"That Su Fei killed several young geniuses in succession, one each with a single move?"
"How is that possible?
I heard the banquet hosted by the Fifth Prince of the Corpse World invited only fairly well-known young geniuses, each possessing formidable strength. Such a large gathering of young talents represents an extremely fearsome force. How did that guy named Su Fei dare to barge into the banquet, kill people, and even abduct the Fifth Prince?"
"The Ninth Corpse City is a relatively important branch stronghold of the Corpse World, with Tribulation Birth Realm experts personally stationed there. Yet that Su Fei actually seized the Fifth Prince right from under the noses of those Tribulation Birth cultivators. What audacity!"
"A fellow from the Eastern Barrens actually has such capabilities. One can't help but admire him!"
Many who heard the news were astonished.
It must be understood that the gathering of young geniuses organized by the Fifth Prince had garnered considerable attention and was quite widely known. For such an incident to occur now was truly shocking.
"Utterly preposterous!
That brat is simply beyond the pale!"
Back at the Corpse World headquarters, the Second Tomb Lord, upon receiving the news, flew into a rage. He slapped a table in front of him, reducing it to dust.
The Fifth Prince was his prized disciple. Not long ago, using a forbidden secret art of the Corpse World, he had forcibly elevated the Fifth Prince's realm and power by a significant margin, allowing him to swiftly become a famous young genius in the Central Divine Land.
One could say the Fifth Prince was his pride.
To think he'd been captured now!
How could this not enrage him!
"Did we manage to capture the brat's soul aura?"
A moment later, the Second Tomb Lord forcibly suppressed the raging fury in his heart and asked grimly.
"Yes.
After the Fifth Prince sent us the message, our Soul Power immediately locked onto Su Fei and recorded his soul aura."
A black-robed elder standing before the Second Tomb Lord replied respectfully, simultaneously taking out a jade slip and handing it over.
This black-robed elder was one of the Tribulation Birth Realm experts garrisoning the Ninth Corpse City. He had personally hurried to the Corpse World headquarters to report to the Second Tomb Lord.
"Dispatch the Five Centennial Corpse-Old!
Also, immediately go and invite the Black Wind Grand Sorcerer. Give him Su Fei's soul aura and have him perform a tracking divine ability to trace Su Fei's whereabouts!"
The Second Tomb Lord thought for a moment before giving the orders.
"Pass down the command: spare no cost! No matter what, we must rescue the Fifth Prince and capture that brat Su Fei!"
The Second Tomb Lord added.
"Second Tomb Lord, I understand. I will go and arrange it immediately."
Another tall, thin elder beside him said.
Following the Second Tomb Lord's orders, shortly thereafter, even more experts from the Corpse World sprang into action, going out to track Ye Yunfei's whereabouts.
Simultaneously, within the Corpse World headquarters, inside a pitch-black hall, upon an ancient black altar...
A black-robed elder with disheveled hair sat cross-legged, muttering incantations under his breath.
Before this black-robed elder was placed an altar.
A jade slip also rested upon the altar.
The black-robed elder pointed a finger, and a figure materialized from the jade slip—it was precisely Ye Yunfei's silhouette.
This black-robed elder was a grand sorcerer of the Corpse World. Having received the Second Tomb Lord's command, he was performing a ritual to track Ye Yunfei's location!
At the same time...
In a certain location within the Central Divine Land.
A green flying ship hovered mid-air.
"Brother Su, what do we do next?
When do you plan to enter the Land of Life and Death?"
Inside the ship, Situ Kong'er asked Ye Yunfei.
He knew Ye Yunfei would definitely enter the Land of Life and Death.
"Let's wait a bit longer.
Brother Situ, since your Seventy-Two Transformations technique is so refined that even Tribulation Birth Realm experts can't spot any flaws...
Then we might as well join forces to pull off something truly big."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and said.
"Pull off something big?"
Situ Kong'er was taken aback and asked.
"Yes. We'll continue targeting the branch strongholds of the Corpse World!"
Ye Yunfei said.
"Brother Su, you mean to destroy even more Corpse World branch strongholds?"
Situ Kong'er asked.
"No.
This time, we aren't going to destroy their branch strongholds.
We are going to infiltrate them and turn every Dao Origin Realm and Primordial Chaos Realm cultivator inside into our own people.
I want the majority of people within those Corpse World branch strongholds to become mine.
When that happens, at least a third of the Corpse World will be comprised of my people. Now *that* would be fun."
Ye Yunfei laughed.
"Excellent idea!
Brother Su, with the two of us cooperating, we might actually be able to pull it off!"
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Situ Kong'er couldn't help but feel invigorated.
He had witnessed how Ye Yunfei subjugated those Dao Origin Realm warriors from the Tianyou Tomb and the Corpse World, and knew Ye Yunfei truly possessed the capability.
"Well then, let's act immediately."
Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
Ye Yunfei himself was also quite looking forward to it.
If he could subdue all the Dao Origin Realm and Primordial Chaos Realm cultivators in those Corpse World branch strongholds and make them his slaves, then having a large batch of his own slaves within the Corpse World... that would be really entertaining.
"By the way, besides the Corpse World, we should also try targeting those branch strongholds of the Tianyou Tomb and subdue more Tianyou Tomb assassins.
Who knows, one day I might even take over the Corpse World and the Tianyou Tomb."
Ye Yunfei said with a chuckle.
"Haha, Brother Su's methods are truly god-like. One can't help but be impressed!"
The very thought of how Ye Yunfei had subdued several hundred Dao Origin Realm warriors to become slaves made Situ Kong'er exclaim in admiration.
"Next, I'll try to see if I can subdue Primordial Chaos Realm cultivators."
Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
One day later...
Ye Yunfei and Situ Kong'er infiltrated a branch stronghold of the Corpse World.
The method of infiltration was extremely simple. Situ Kong'er transformed into one of the Corpse World members, entered the branch stronghold, and then Ye Yunfei seized opportunities to continuously make his move—subduing Corpse World members one by one, teleporting them into the Phantom Tower, and then using Puppet Soul Threads to subdue them into slaves.
Since Situ Kong'er could transform into anyone, perfectly identical, the Corpse World people couldn't discover any flaws.
Situ Kong'er himself was already quite powerful. Under various pretexts, he lured those Dao Origin Realm Corpse World members to secluded spots. Then, together with Ye Yunfei, they suddenly struck, quickly subduing them and teleporting them into the Phantom Tower. Afterwards, Situ Kong'er would transform into those people and remain outside, while Ye Yunfei entered the Phantom Tower to perform the Puppet Soul Threads secret art for subduing them.
Not long after, every single person with Dao Origin Realm strength within this branch stronghold had been subdued by Ye Yunfei and become his slaves.
Ye Yunfei had them continue staying at the branch stronghold, acting as usual.
"Now to try the Primordial Chaos Realm!"
Ye Yunfei and Situ Kong'er cooperated, stealthily subduing a Primordial Chaos Realm cultivator and teleporting him into the Phantom Tower.
Ye Yunfei began employing the Puppet Soul Threads secret art to subdue him.
Shortly after, Ye Yunfei finally succeeded in subduing this Primordial Chaos Realm cultivator!
Ye Yunfei and Situ Kong'er kept working, and eventually subdued every Dao Origin Realm and Primordial Chaos Realm cultivator within this branch stronghold, turning them all into slaves!
Next, Ye Yunfei and Situ Kong'er went to another Corpse World branch stronghold, spending a day to subdue every Dao Origin Realm and Primordial Chaos Realm person there, making them slaves.
A month later, Ye Yunfei and Situ Kong'er had subjugated every Dao Origin Realm and Primordial Chaos Realm cultivator across fifteen Corpse World branch strongholds, turning them all into slaves.
In this way, the number of Dao Origin Realm and Primordial Chaos Realm slaves under Ye Yunfei's command exceeded a thousand!
"Now, we can set off for the Land of Life and Death."
Ye Yunfei said.
