Inside the Phantom Tower,
"Speak, what world do you people of the Reincarnation Palace come from? And why did you come to hunt me?"
Ye Yunfei stood in front of several dozen creatures, asking coldly.
These creatures had already been sealed. They were all members of the Reincarnation Palace. Before leaving the Feixian Continent, Ye Yunfei had been hunted by Reincarnation Palace forces. He had struck back, killing most of them. These remaining fifty or so had been sealed and imprisoned inside the Phantom Tower.
At the time, Ye Yunfei had hurriedly left the Feixian Continent, then returned to the Primordial Continent to handle various matters. Only now had he finally found the time to interrogate these Reincarnation Palace members.
"Ye Yunfei, our origins are beyond what you can imagine! Our Reincarnation Palace is not someone you can provoke! Not just you, even the so-called Three Great Heavenly Emperors you often talk about are not worth mentioning to our Reincarnation Palace! Ye Yunfei, I advise you to release us immediately. Otherwise, the consequences will be grave!"
A middle-aged man stared at Ye Yunfei with fierce eyes, speaking slowly. This middle-aged man was none other than Senior Brother Xiang, the leader of this operation against Ye Yunfei.
"Going by that, you should be from the Main World of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. However, I have never entered the Main World, nor have I ever had any contact with your Reincarnation Palace. Why would your Reincarnation Palace target me?"
Seeing Senior Brother Xiang's attitude, Ye Yunfei slowly asked a question.
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Senior Brother Xiang and the other Reincarnation Palace members present all underwent subtle changes in their expressions.
They hadn't expected that Ye Yunfei already had suspicions about their origins. This was mainly because these Reincarnation Palace members had displayed too strong a sense of superiority in front of Ye Yunfei; their words seemed to look down upon the entire Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. With Ye Yunfei's vision and experience, it was natural for him to think of the Main World!
"It seems they really are beings from the Main World!" Hun Lao clearly perceived the expressions of these Reincarnation Palace members and immediately spoke to Ye Yunfei via Sound Transmission, his tone shaken.
"Yes. It seems they are most likely from the legendary Main World. I didn't expect the legend of the Main World to be true. There really is a Main World within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds!"
Ye Yunfei also noticed the change in the expressions of those Reincarnation Palace members, feeling deeply shocked in his heart.
In his previous life, when Ye Yunfei was a Heavenly Emperor, he had spent time investigating legends about the Main World, wanting to find that long-rumored world. However, he had gained no leads at all.
He never thought he would encounter beings from the Main World in this life!
"Perhaps because my rebirth has changed many things," Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
"Ye Yunfei, don't make wild guesses about our origins! Don't even think of extracting a single word from our mouths! In short, the most correct thing for you to do right now is to release us immediately. Otherwise, you will regret it sooner or later!" Senior Brother Xiang shouted sternly.
"Kid, if you don't want to die, release us now!" The other Reincarnation Palace members also roared at Ye Yunfei one by one.
Although these Reincarnation Palace members were currently prisoners, they still wore a haughty expression when facing Ye Yunfei. In their hearts, they looked down upon most beings from the worlds of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds. This sense of superiority was deeply ingrained and difficult to shake off quickly.
"Don't waste your breath threatening me. It's useless. Since I've already killed members of your Reincarnation Palace, I won't care about killing a few more. You'd better answer my questions obediently. Otherwise, you will undoubtedly die."
Ye Yunfei sneered.
"Since you're still unwilling to answer my questions, fine. First, taste my poison pill." Ye Yunfei reached out, took out a black poison pill, and forcefully shoved it into Senior Brother Xiang's mouth.
"Aah... Aah..." Soon, Senior Brother Xiang began to scream.
"Kid, your poison pill might not be very effective this time. The cultivation technique this fellow practices is very unique, and he may have taken some high-grade pill that grants immunity to toxins. Half the power of your poison pill has already been neutralized by him."
Suddenly, Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei.
"Indeed. They truly live up to being beings from the Main World. And I suspect the Reincarnation Palace is likely a very powerful force within the Main World as well. I just really don't understand—why would a force from the Main World send people to hunt me?"
Ye Yunfei watched Senior Brother Xiang gradually stop struggling, frowning slightly as he replied. Indeed, moments later, Senior Brother Xiang ceased his struggles. The pain from the poison pill had lasted only briefly.
"Ye Yunfei, although your poison pill is potent, it has little effect on us, members of the Reincarnation Palace. Before each mission, we first take a pill that can neutralize ten thousand poisons and allow for rapid recovery of physical injuries. The pills of our Reincarnation Palace are not something your puny pills can compare to."
Senior Brother Xiang raised his head, looking at Ye Yunfei with a cold smile.
Whoosh! Ye Yunfei waved his hand, making a slashing motion. A thick sword energy flashed by, directly severing Senior Brother Xiang's right arm.
"Then let me see if the pill you've taken can indeed make you recover quickly."
Ye Yunfei sneered.
"Ye Yunfei, you're courting death!" Senior Brother Xiang roared angrily, blood spurting like a fountain from the stump of his right arm.
"Ye Yunfei! Your realm... it's Half-Emperor!" Suddenly, Senior Brother Xiang cried out in shock, his face paling.
Because the energy fluctuation Ye Yunfei had just displayed when he attacked was that of a Half-Emperor.
"What? He broke through to Half-Emperor?"
"The first time we came to hunt him, he wasn't even at the Heavenly Boundary Realm level, right? How has he reached Half-Emperor in such a short time?"
"What kind of monster is he? Even in our world, there isn't any young monster with such terrifying cultivation speed, is there?"
... The other Reincarnation Palace members were all extremely shocked. At this moment, their sense of superiority in front of Ye Yunfei seemed significantly weaker. They understood that the combat power and cultivation talent Ye Yunfei displayed were far beyond what they could compare to. How could a being born in a backward world be so monstrous? The gazes of those Reincarnation Palace members were fixed on Ye Yunfei, tinged with unwillingness.
"Indeed impressive." At this moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly noticed that Senior Brother Xiang's right arm stump was rapidly regenerating, showing signs of the severed limb reconnecting. It seemed the Reincarnation Palace's pills were indeed excellent.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Suddenly, Ye Yunfei extended his palm, slashing three times consecutively. He severed Senior Brother Xiang's left arm and both legs.
"Aah... Ye Yunfei, you deserve to die!" Senior Brother Xiang screamed, glaring at Ye Yunfei with hatred.
"Now tell me your origins and the reason why your Reincarnation Palace sent people to hunt me. Otherwise, I don't mind slowly torturing you. I have plenty of time."
Ye Yunfei said coldly.
