At the same moment, many other people in the surroundings witnessed Ye Yunfei's act of rescue and were utterly astonished.
The energy pressure released by that palace was too terrifying; most people couldn't withstand it, unable to escape even if they wanted to, let alone get close enough to save anyone.
Yet, Ye Yunfei had effortlessly whisked away the two who were so close to the palace. The speed of his movement technique he displayed was indeed astonishing.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Yunfei had already appeared in the distance with the two women in tow.
Before leaving the Primordial Continent, Ye Yunfei had refined and absorbed a vast amount of Space Crystals, drastically increasing the level of his spatial energy. Later, he cultivated the Thunder God Tyrant Body to the Fourth Layer, gaining divine powers to manipulate lightning. Now, Ye Yunfei's movement speed was at least dozens, even a hundred times faster than before.
"It's him!
That person who saved us earlier!"
Soon, the dozen or so young men and women Ye Yunfei had rescued earlier recognized him one after another.
Aah… Aah…
At this moment, screams continued to ring out one after another. The palace was moving faster and faster. Wherever it passed, no one could withstand it, instantly being blasted into clouds of bloody mist.
"Benefactor, please save me!
You saved us the last time when we were besieged by the ferocious wolves!
Please save me one more time!"
Suddenly, one of the young men noticed that the terrifying palace was rumbling towards his location. Scared out of his wits and at the brink of life and death, he shouted a desperate plea for help towards Ye Yunfei.
This young man saw that the strongest experts from his own faction were fleeing at full speed without even looking back, clearly with no intention of rescuing him. So, he could only pin his hopes on Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei had saved them—over ten people—before, and he had just rescued the two sisters from the Zhu Family. This young man felt Ye Yunfei seemed to possess a compassionate heart.
Upon hearing the plea, Ye Yunfei glanced back at him.
"Benefactor, hurry and save me, or it'll be too late! I will surely be grateful to you!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei look his way, the young man was overjoyed and cried out.
"Benefactor, you saved me before too! Please save me once more!"
"Benefactor, me too! Please save me!"
Around this young man, several others were also pinned down, unable to move under the energy pressure released by the palace. In their despair, they all shouted pleas towards Ye Yunfei.
These young men were all ones Ye Yunfei had previously saved from the jaws of over a hundred ferocious wolves.
"Senior Sister Keqi! Quickly, ask the Benefactor to come back and save us! Otherwise, it will be too late!"
Someone yelled at Zhu Keqi.
"I recognize you few.
Last time, after I saved you, you immediately turned around and plotted to have the experts of your factions come and capture me.
Why should I save you ungrateful wolves again?
If you don't die here, I will personally take action and kill you myself."
Ye Yunfei gave a cold laugh and paid them no heed whatsoever.
In the next moment, the terrifying palace closed in on those few young men.
"No!"
They let out screams of despair.
Poof! Poof!…
The next moment, the palace rolling forth with its dreadful might rumbled over them, blasting the young men into several clouds of bloody mist, leaving not a single bone intact.
"Little bastard! You clearly have the ability to save people, yet you watch them die without lifting a finger!
You deserve death!"
"That's him! That kid! The disciple of that old fellow with a bounty from Tianliang Sacred Land on his head!"
"Not long ago, he killed many of us!"
…
By now, others also knew Ye Yunfei's identity. One by one, they glared at him with furious eyes.
Not long ago, Ye Yunfei had publicly admitted he was Zisheng Zhenjun's disciple. This news had long since spread; many major factions had received the message. Ye Yunfei's appearance and soul aura had circulated among the members of these major factions, almost everyone having a copy.
Rumble…
At this moment, the palace suddenly soared into the sky, charging towards the horizon in the distance.
"Excellent!
That terrifying palace is finally leaving!"
Those still alive all breathed a heavy sigh of relief, feeling the ease of surviving a calamity.
So far, only a small portion had survived by chance; nearly two-thirds had been blasted to death by the palace. The ground was littered with severed limbs and shattered flesh, with rivers of blood flowing.
The vast majority of those who came here were from the various great sects and clans of Tianxiong Domain. Now, with so many dead, the losses could be described as heavy!
"Stop it!"
"Even if Xuanlong Daozhang is still alive, his strength must be severely depleted. Let's work together and intercept his cave abode!"
…
Just then, over a dozen elderly figures suddenly appeared in the distance. The energy pressure released by each was earth-shattering. Together, they gave chase towards the palace.
"Our sect's Elders have arrived!"
"Our clan's Elders are here too!"
…
The survivors, seeing those dozen or so elders, were extremely excited.
"Senior Sister Keqi, look!
It's the Third Elder!
The Third Elder of our Zhu Family is here too!"
Zhu Ziyan pointed at one of the elders and cried out excitedly.
It turned out that the dozen or so elders who had suddenly appeared were all senior expert-level Elders from the various major forces.
These elder-level experts were each formidably powerful and were now joining forces to intercept that palace.
In the blink of an eye, both the palace and the dozen-plus elder-level experts vanished into the distant horizon.
"I'm leaving."
Ye Yunfei glanced at Zhu Keqi and Zhu Ziyan, then turned and prepared to depart.
Ye Yunfei had no intention of chasing after Xuanlong Daozhang's palace. Xuanlong Daozhang was likely still alive, and anyone trying to force their way into his cave abode to plunder its treasures would face a desperate life-and-death struggle from him.
A Heavenly Boundary Realm mighty expert fighting for his life was far too terrifying. Ye Yunfei lacked the confidence to deal with that.
"Hey, where are you going? We don't even know your name yet.
You've saved us twice. We don't even know how to repay you. If there's anything you need our help with, just speak up.
Otherwise, wait until I return and ask Grandpa for a large sum of treasures to give you, how about that?"
Seeing Ye Yunfei was about to leave, Zhu Ziyan hastily called out.
"It was a mere trifle. I do not require your repayment."
Ye Yunfei replied, then took a single step, performing the Spatial Teleportation Art and disappearing.
"Hey, don't rush off! At the very least, you should tell us your name!"
Zhu Ziyan grew anxious, shouting loudly.
But Ye Yunfei was already long gone, with no trace left behind.
"You… Senior Sister Keqi, why didn't you stop him? He did save us twice, after all. We haven't repaid him yet."
Zhu Ziyan stamped her foot in frustration, turning to Zhu Keqi.
"He simply doesn't want to interact with the two of us any further."
Zhu Keqi shook her head.
"From now on, Tianliang Sacred Land will surely pursue him with all its might. Many major forces and experts in Tianxiong Domain will also hunt him for the high reward. His situation will be extremely dangerous.
I hope he can leave Tianxiong Domain quickly."
Zhu Keqi murmured softly.
"Senior Sister Keqi, let's help him."
Zhu Ziyan quickly suggested.
"With our pitiful strength, how could we possibly help him? Don't let your thoughts run wild.
Alright, come with me back to the family right now!"
Zhu Keqi grabbed Zhu Ziyan's hand and began dragging her away.
She knew this cousin of hers was eccentric and full of bizarre ideas. If she really sneaked off to try and help that strange young man, things could turn dire.
