Ye Yunfei then found a nearby spot to sit cross-legged, closed his eyes, and settled into quiet cultivation.
The Remnant Soul of the Ice Demon vanished once more.
"Young man."
An unknown amount of time passed when Ye Yunfei suddenly heard a call, seemingly from a distance, causing him great alarm. He immediately looked over.
He saw a middle-aged man standing at a distant location. His gaze was fixed on Ye Yunfei.
"Be careful. This is the Remnant Soul of a Half-Emperor!
What could he want with you?"
Hun Lao became alert at once.
The Ice Demon's Remnant Soul also reappeared, staring at the distant middle-aged man.
This area was the Ice Demon's territory. The other War Remnant Souls wandering the battlefield consciously avoided this place!
"Young man, I mean no harm. Are you about to leave this battlefield?
I have a matter I wish to entrust to you."
The middle-aged man stared at Ye Yunfei and spoke.
His gaze held no killing intent toward Ye Yunfei, instead carrying a tone of earnest pleading.
"You wish to entrust me with a matter?"
Hearing this, Ye Yunfei was taken aback.
"What do you wish to entrust? I don't know if I can help, but speak your request first, and I'll see if it's within my power."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment before replying.
Ye Yunfei naturally could see that this middle-aged man was also a War Remnant Soul, but at this moment, he truly harbored no ill will towards him.
"Young man, listen to me.
I hail from the Tianyi Sect on the Immortal Mausoleum Continent. I was the sect leader of Tianyi Sect. Back then, I came to participate in this great war alongside the sect's Founding Ancestor. I never expected to fall here.
To be truthful, the reason I perished on the battlefield was not at the hands of the enemy, but at the hands of my own.
I was betrayed by Luo Qiantao, whom I regarded as my own flesh and blood.
I personally trained him back then, promoting him from a mere sect steward all the way to the Vice-Leader position of Tianyi Sect.
But on the battlefield, while I was caught off guard and engaged with a powerful foe, he ambushed me from behind and dealt me a fatal blow.
Before I died, he told me he would immediately withdraw from the war and return to Immortal Mausoleum Continent to take over my position as sect leader and control Tianyi Sect from then on.
That beast Luo Qiantao!
I was truly blind back then. I misjudged him!"
As the middle-aged man spoke to this point, his face was filled with fury, his teeth gritted.
Ye Yunfei listened quietly without interrupting.
"Young man, I have a daughter named Bei Jiajia. I fear that beast Luo Qiantao might harm Jiajia. Could you deliver a message back to Jiajia for me, telling her to stay far away from that beast Luo Qiantao?
There is little else I care about, but I've never been able to let go of this daughter, Jiajia.
Her mother passed away unexpectedly when she was only three. She endured much hardship growing up following me. I am ashamed of how I treated her!"
Speaking of his daughter, the middle-aged man's face fluctuated between deep affection and profound guilt.
"You want me to deliver a message to your daughter?
Senior, I am from the Primeval Continent, not a native of the Immortal Mausoleum Continent."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment before answering.
"Young man, will you ever go to the Immortal Mausoleum Continent?"
The middle-aged man asked.
"That...
I cannot say for certain."
Ye Yunfei replied.
"Young man, if you ever do go to the Immortal Mausoleum Continent, I beg you to deliver my message to my daughter.
My only wish now is for Jiajia's safety.
As long as she is safe, I have no regrets left in this world."
The middle-aged man spoke in an imploring tone.
"Very well, then. If I ever go to the Immortal Mausoleum Continent, and if I can find Miss Bei Jiajia, I will deliver your message."
Ye Yunfei thought about it and nodded in agreement.
Ye Yunfei could see that the middle-aged man deeply missed his daughter.
This was a father's concern and attachment for his daughter. Ye Yunfei had no reason to refuse.
"Thank you, young man.
These are some gifts I offer you.
Please accept them."
Seeing Ye Yunfei agree, the middle-aged man was overjoyed. With a flick of his finger, he sent a space ring floating before Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei's Soul Power probed inside, and his face couldn't help but light up with pleasant surprise.
The rank of this space ring was extremely high. Its interior space was vast, equivalent to a spatial magic treasure, filled with all sorts of cultivation resources. The most abundant among them were various kinds of Law Crystals, piled into mountains that stretched into the distance, seemingly endless.
Inside, Ye Yunfei discovered a massive quantity of Space Law Crystal Stones and Time Law Crystal Stones he desperately needed!
Aside from crystals, there were also vast amounts of medicinal herbs, including Void-grade, Nirvana-grade, Tribulation-grade, and even Calamity-grade!
Additionally, there were other enormous quantities of natural treasures, such as Earth Spirit Milk, Phoenix Blood Crimson Gold, Soul Suppressing Stones, and so on.
As the volume of various treasures stored within this space ring was simply staggering, Ye Yunfei couldn't examine them all in detail immediately.
"Nine-Leaf Heaven-Mending Lotus! Seven-Orifice Bodhi Wood! Thousand-Year Blood Longevity Stone!
These three treasures can help father refine his marrow and reshape his bones, enhancing his martial arts talent!"
Ye Yunfei suddenly spotted three treasures among them that he had long desired, and his joy soared.
"Senior, rest assured. Since you have bestowed such generous gifts, I will definitely go to the Immortal Mausoleum Continent, seek out Miss Bei Jiajia, and convey your words."
Ye Yunfei stowed the space ring away and spoke gratefully.
"These items are what I brought out from Tianyi Sect's main headquarters treasury back then. I originally intended to use them to replenish my resources during the war. I never expected the war had only just begun when I was plotted against and killed by Luo Qiantao, so they remained unused.
Luo Qiantao wanted to seize them, but the battlefield was far too chaotic at that moment. A tide of enemy experts surged in, forcing Luo Qiantao to flee immediately.
Alright then, young man. I will bestow upon you a Soul Power imprint. If you ever reach Tianyi Sect and possess the ability, use it to help me kill Luo Qiantao. This Soul Power imprint will aid you in becoming the sect leader of Tianyi Sect.
Of course, if you lack such capability, then simply help me deliver my message to Jiajia."
The middle-aged man said.
"Senior, how about this: your Remnant Soul follows me out of this battlefield. Later, I can take you back to Tianyi Sect's headquarters. Wouldn't it be better for you to see Miss Jiajia personally?"
Ye Yunfei pondered the idea and spoke up.
"Young man, you don't understand. Even if I wished to leave, I cannot. I am unable to depart from this battlefield.
Because this battlefield possesses a mysterious power that imprisons all War Remnant Souls here, making it impossible to leave forever.
You are not a War Remnant Soul of this battlefield, so you can come and go freely."
The middle-aged man sighed.
"Is that so?"
Ye Yunfei was shocked.
"It is indeed true.
Young man, you should also leave this battlefield as soon as possible. This place is extremely eerie. If you linger here too long, it's easy for unexpected changes to occur. You might end up like us, imprisoned here."
The middle-aged man added.
Hearing this, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
"By the way, Senior, I also wish to inquire about this war.
Was this war the World-Destroying War?
Who initiated the World-Destroying War? Were they truly the Deities?
Who were the two opposing sides?"
Ye Yunfei asked.
His curiosity about the World-Destroying War burned fiercely.
