Following that, the scout scurried away in terrified, scrambling haste.
"So overbearing!"
Some observing creatures watching from afar couldn't help but suck in a cold breath at this scene.
Just as the Eastern Wasteland Army was drawing the attention of the entire Central Divine Land, Ye Yunfei had quietly arrived near the headquarters of the Corpse World.
The Corpse World's headquarters was a Small World!
The entrance and exit to this Small World were located near Corpse City.
Corpse City was a massive city of immense scale, the entirety of which was owned by the Corpse World.
Ye Yunfei entered Corpse City and walked along its streets, seeing only patrol after patrol of Corpse Soldiers everywhere, emanating dense corpse energy.
The streets were bustling with people coming and going, a lively scene, but they paid no mind at all to those patrolling Corpse Soldiers, showing not a trace of fear, as this was the unique characteristic of Corpse City.
Those Corpse Soldiers also wouldn't attack the living beings in the city without reason.
"Brother Su, the Corpse World's defenses are extremely tight. Outsiders find it very difficult to enter, unless they have permission from the Corpse World's higher-ups."
Situ Kong'er transmitted a Sound Transmission to Ye Yunfei.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei and Situ Kong'er had each used their own techniques to disguise themselves, their appearances and Soul Body auras no longer as before.
Coupled with the crowded flow of people within Corpse City, scarcely anyone paid attention to the two of them.
"No matter how difficult it is, it's no trouble for Brother Situ."
Ye Yunfei smiled faintly.
"Of course. It's very hard for outsiders to enter the Corpse World, but for its own people, coming and going is a very simple matter. We just need to find a high-ranking master from the Corpse World, control him, then I can transform into his appearance and freely enter and exit the Corpse World."
Situ Kong'er replied proudly.
The transformation techniques of the Marvelous Hand Sect were no empty boast. In ancient times, they were famed not only throughout the Boundless Continent, but also across the entire Three Thousand Large and Small Worlds. This was the main reason why Ye Yunfei had sought out Situ Kong'er as soon as he arrived in Central Divine Land.
Not long after, Ye Yunfei and Situ Kong'er had their eyes on a middle-aged man from the Corpse World with strength at the Tribulation Birth Realm.
This man was a commander within Corpse City, usually responsible for maintaining order within the city, his status not low.
Ye Yunfei entered the Phantom Tower, while Situ Kong'er employed the Seventy-Two Transformations Subtle Art to stealthily infiltrate this commander's manor.
After returning to his manor from outside, this commander immediately entered a secret chamber to meditate in quiet cultivation with his eyes closed.
"Who!"
Suddenly, a hair-raising, dangerous sensation washed over the commander, and his eyes snapped open.
Then he saw a hand shoot forward like lightning, grabbing his throat in one swift motion, sealing the energy within his body.
Next, he saw two youths appear before him, one of them gripping his throat. These two youths were precisely Ye Yunfei and Situ Kong'er.
Given Ye Yunfei's strength, dealing with this commander was naturally an effortless task.
After subduing the commander, Ye Yunfei immediately took him and Situ Kong'er into the Phantom Tower.
Having interrogated the commander using various means, Ye Yunfei and Situ Kong'er obtained considerable information about the Corpse World headquarters. Furthermore, they received an extremely important piece of news: Elder Youyan had returned to the Corpse World headquarters a few days prior.
A moment later.
Situ Kong'er emerged from the Phantom Tower, left the commander's manor, and headed towards the Corpse World.
Corpse City wasn't far from the Corpse World entrance. Soon after, Situ Kong'er arrived at the location of the entrance.
Located within a mountain range near Corpse City, it was a valley shrouded in gloomy black mist.
The valley's surroundings were densely guarded by countless Corpse Soldiers, sealed tighter than a drum. Additionally, a large number of Corpse World experts lay hidden in the vicinity, their defenses extremely tight.
However, Situ Kong'er had already transformed into that commander, whose status was not low—being a disciple of a core elder within the Corpse World—so he encountered no interception whatsoever along the way.
Finally, Situ Kong'er walked into the mist-shrouded valley and arrived before the Corpse World entrance.
This was a spacetime passageway!
"Brother Su, there are two initial-stage Mind Star Realm experts guarding this place."
Situ Kong'er discovered two old men sitting cross-legged near the entrance, motionless in closed-eye repose.
"Minor characters, easily killed with a raised hand. Pay them no mind. Let's hurry into the Corpse World and search for Elder Youyan's whereabouts."
Ye Yunfei said.
To Ye Yunfei's current strength, initial-stage Mind Star Realm experts were indeed quite weak. Forget the Mind Star Realm; even Breaking Star Realm experts would be dealt with easily by Ye Yunfei. If he wasn't afraid of alarming the enemy, he would have simply barged openly into the Corpse World long ago.
However, before rescuing Lü Dandan, Ye Yunfei decided to act discreetly to avoid provoking the Corpse World and that Elder Youyan.
When Situ Kong'er walked through the entrance, the two old men sitting cross-legged nearby simultaneously opened their eyes, giving him a sweeping glance, though they didn't react otherwise.
Because the commander Situ Kong'er had transformed into was a disciple of one of the Corpse World's core elders, frequently coming and going, these two old men didn't harbor the slightest suspicion.
Soon, Situ Kong'er entered the Corpse World.
This was a relatively large-scale Small World. Ye Yunfei estimated its area was at least three to four times that of the Heavenly Profound Continent!
Inside the Small World, dense Corpse World energy and laws of the Corpse Path saturated the air.
"Master, the energy and laws within this world would be greatly beneficial to the Netherworld Yin Blade! If we could have it absorb the energy and laws here, it would certainly result in a massive boost to the blade's power!"
The sound transmission of the Holy Son of the Flying Sky Yin Monkey race suddenly echoed within Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea.
"Correct. The energy and laws within this world are indeed very suitable for the Netherworld Yin Blade."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Let's go straight to Elder Youyan's lair!"
Situ Kong'er said, then produced a flying ship to travel towards Elder Youyan's lair.
The commander Situ Kong'er had transformed into was very familiar with the situation within the Corpse World. Before long, they arrived at Elder Youyan's lair.
Using the commander's identity to make inquiries, Situ Kong'er quickly learned Elder Youyan's precise whereabouts.
Nine Prisons Corpse Mountain!
Nine Prisons Corpse Mountain lay within the Corpse World itself, being the most important corpse refinement base of the Corpse World! Compared to it, the corpse refinement base the Corpse World had established within the Land of Life and Death was merely an outer base, of far lesser importance.
"Young Master Su, I seem to have some vague impression of the name Nine Prisons Corpse Mountain. I was formerly an ancient corpse stored by the Corpse World, initially kept at the headquarters before being transported to that refinement base in the Land of Life and Death. It's highly likely I was originally stored within Nine Prisons Corpse Mountain! Moreover, according to my memories, Nine Prisons Corpse Mountain still stores a large batch of ancient corpses like me!"
Suddenly, an eerie sound transmission reverberated within Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea. It came from an ancient corpse currently within the Phantom Tower. In the Land of Life and Death, Ye Yunfei had rescued an ancient corpse acquainted with the green-robed elder. At first, its consciousness was somewhat muddled, but later, after Ye Yunfei refined a large quantity of high-grade Soul Power pills for it to absorb, this ancient corpse now possessed clear consciousness and could communicate fully with Ye Yunfei.
"Young Master Su, I have some impression of this Nine Prisons Corpse Mountain. I believe I, too, resided there for quite a long time in the past."
The green-robed elder's sound transmission also resounded within Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea.
"It seems Elder Youyan is preparing to act, to refine Miss Lü into a Corpse Empress. Let's go, Brother Situ. We head for Nine Prisons Corpse Mountain immediately to rescue Miss Lü!"
Ye Yunfei was growing somewhat anxious.
If they were too late, Lü Dandan's life would be in grave danger!
