After leaving the Tianjin Forbidden Land, the Green Flying Boat headed directly for Shengzhou's Tianxiong Domain. A few days later, Ye Yunfei returned to the original headquarters site of the Ziwei Sect.
This was the true, ancient headquarters of the Ziwei Sect.
Ye Yunfei stepped out from the Green Flying Boat and proceeded to arrange a large number of earth formations and various other types of formations, thoroughly transforming the Ziwei Sect's headquarters into an extremely dangerous place.
As his realm had advanced, Ye Yunfei's Earth Divination Art had improved as well. The earth formations he laid down here likely couldn't be broken through by ordinary experts; only Half-Emperors might have a chance.
Ye Yunfei also channeled over a thousand Earth Dragons and over a hundred Black Dragons into the earth beneath, making the spiritual energy in this area astonishingly dense.
"In times past, our Ziwei Sect was one of the most powerful factions among the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds," Zisheng Zhenjun also emerged from the Phantom Tower and, gazing at the Ziwei Sect's original site before him, sighed softly. "Who would have thought we'd now be forced to retreat to the Primordial Continent?"
This, of course, was only an avatar of Zisheng Zhenjun; the location of his true body was unknown.
Ever since Ye Yunfei rescued this avatar from the headquarters of the Tianliang Sacred Land, it had remained in the Phantom Tower, cultivating in isolation, and had never emerged again.
The reason Ye Yunfei planned to return to the Primordial Continent was precisely to send this avatar of Zisheng Zhenjun back to the Ziwei Sect headquarters.
This was Zisheng Zhenjun's request; this avatar of his wished to return to the headquarters.
"Master, rest assured," Ye Yunfei stood beside Zisheng Zhenjun and spoke. "One day, I will relocate the Ziwei Sect from the Primordial Continent back here. I will establish our Ziwei Sect once more among the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, and see it prosper and gain prestige!"
"Hmm, I believe you can do it." During this period, Ye Yunfei had often entered the Phantom Tower to chat with Zisheng Zhenjun. Zisheng Zhenjun had learned more and more about him, including the various actions Ye Yunfei had taken recently on the Feixian Continent. As a result, his opinion of Ye Yunfei grew more favorable by the day.
"Heh, to think something so miraculous has happened to me—having a disciple who is a reincarnated being. It almost seems like I've gotten a great deal," Zisheng Zhenjun said.
"Master, please don't say that," Ye Yunfei quickly replied. "If it weren't for you, the me of today would not exist." If Zisheng Zhenjun in his past life had not unintentionally entered the Tianxuan Continent, casually saved Ye Yunfei, and brought him back to the Primordial Continent, and later, after enduring countless hardships, searched for the Nine-Yang Scripture to open his meridians, none of Ye Yunfei's later achievements would have been possible.
Perhaps in his past life, Ye Yunfei would have died in the Eastern Region's Yuanyue City of the Tianxuan Continent. At best, he would have reentered Samsara, reborn in a next life as an ordinary being, the possibility of him becoming a Heavenly Emperor vanishingly small!
"Haha, alright then, I won't be polite with you. The karma and ties of the mortal world are truly profound mysteries, far beyond the comprehension of ordinary mortals like us," Zisheng Zhenjun laughed.
"Master, let's set off back to the Primordial Continent now," Ye Yunfei said.
"Good. Let's go back. I wish to return and have a look. To be honest, I feel I have let down the ancestors of the Ziwei Sect. I have been away all these years, hardly paying any attention to the sect, allowing its strength to decline and even nearly be wiped out." Zisheng Zhenjun nodded.
Ye Yunfei had already informed him of the events that had transpired during his time on the Primordial Continent, so Zisheng Zhenjun was aware of the hardships the sect had faced.
"Master, from now on, please let this avatar of yours stand guard over the Ziwei Sect headquarters and lead the sect's growth and development," Ye Yunfei said to him.
"Very well. It's true that I should contribute to the development of the Ziwei Sect," Zisheng Zhenjun agreed with a nod.
Ye Yunfei summoned the Green Flying Boat, and together with Zisheng Zhenjun, boarded it. The vessel shot into the sky, heading deep into the firmament.
At the same time,
a dozen or so flying ships locked onto the Green Flying Boat.
"According to the Tracking Talisman, that kid is inside that flying boat. Prepare to give the order for our forces to charge and kill him. Of course, none of us from the Reincarnation Palace are to take action ourselves, lest we leave any traces. If Palace Master investigates in the future, we are finished," a middle-aged man said gravely from within one of the ships.
"Senior Brother Xiang, rest assured, we will not make a move. In the recent period, we have subjugated so many local forces from the Feixian Continent—even several Half-Emperors. Let them be the ones to step forward and kill that kid. There's no need for us to personally intervene," a man beside him replied.
"Mn. Good. Give the order then. Let the local forces of Feixian Continent begin their attack!" Senior Brother Xiang nodded and declared.
The next moment,
more than a dozen nearby flying ships simultaneously increased their speed, moving to surround Ye Yunfei's Green Flying Boat.
"Kid, it seems someone's found you again," Hun Lao's voice transmission echoed in Ye Yunfei's mind from within the Green Flying Boat. The experienced elder had long since detected something amiss.
"Perfectly normal. Since a Heavenly Emperor has issued an imperial decree for my pursuit, there will naturally be a constant stream of beings coming to trouble me. No matter who it is, if they dare to provoke me, I'll simply kill them." Ye Yunfei's response was a cold sneer.
"Indeed. Once a Heavenly Emperor Decree is issued, all major powers across the world will respond and hunt you down. Troubles will indeed be ceaseless for you. Such is the difficulty ahead," Hun Lao replied with a bitter smile and a shake of his head.
"Master, trouble has come calling. Please enter my spatial treasure to avoid it," Ye Yunfei said to Zisheng Zhenjun.
"Trouble has come? Alright then, Ye Yunfei, you must be careful," Zisheng Zhenjun said.
"Master, don't worry. I will be fine," Ye Yunfei said with a smile. After speaking, he transported Zisheng Zhenjun into the Phantom Tower.
The next moment,
flying ships appeared cutting across the sky, blocking the path ahead and cutting off retreat. In the blink of an eye, they had surrounded Ye Yunfei's Green Flying Boat.
Ye Yunfei had long since ordered the Green Flying Boat to stop and wait in place.
"Ye Yunfei! Roll out here and accept your death!"
From those dozen or so ships, large groups of people charged out one after another. Each one drew weapons or summoned magical treasures, murderous auras thick in the air as some among them roared fiercely.
In the distance, one flying ship remained stationary, not approaching.
Senior Brother Xiang was inside this ship, accompanied by a team from the Reincarnation Palace, quietly observing.
In fact, Senior Brother Xiang, following Granny Long's orders, had led these Reincarnation Palace members back to the Feixian Continent for some time now.
During this period, they had been busy subduing the local forces and inhabitants of Feixian Continent.
These individuals from the Reincarnation Palace hailed from higher-level worlds, possessed formidable strength, and carried with them rare treasures, cultivation techniques, and martial skills not found on Feixian Continent. Through a combination of threats, coercion, and inducements, they had subdued many of Feixian Continent's major forces and experts. Now, bringing these local beings with them, they had come to surround and kill Ye Yunfei.
Senior Brother Xiang possessed a kind of talisman paper known as a Tracking Talisman, which had a very unique effect: it could pinpoint Ye Yunfei's specific location. Consequently, finding Ye Yunfei was easy for these Reincarnation Palace members.
