Several ingenious isolation formations were arranged outside Miao Haoyu's cultivation chamber. After studying and analyzing these formations for a while from the outside, Ye Yunfei grasped their nature, traversed through them directly, and pushed the door open to walk inside.
"Who's there!"
Inside the sealed chamber, Miao Haoyu was cultivating an inheritance technique of the Miao Clan when he suddenly realized someone had pushed the door open and entered. Startled and enraged, he demanded sharply.
Indeed, the worst possible occurrence during secluded cultivation was unexpected interruption; serious cases could lead to a deviation, risking demonic possession or even death.
"It's me," Ye Yunfei said with a cold sneer as he strode towards Miao Haoyu.
"I don't know you! Why have you barged into my chamber uninvited!"
Sensing the terrifying aura of energy emanating from Ye Yunfei, Miao Haoyu couldn't help but secretly feel alarmed. He hurriedly rose to his feet, wholly focused and on guard.
"I want to have a talk with you."
Ye Yunfei abruptly accelerated, instantly appearing right in front of Miao Haoyu. He then reached out to grab him!
This Miao Haoyu possessed the strength of the late-stage Heavenly Boundary Realm!
To have achieved such a cultivation level at a young age, he was indeed one of the Miao Clan's young geniuses.
"You're a Half-Emperor!"
The moment Ye Yunfei made his move, Miao Haoyu discovered that this unfamiliar young man before him was actually a Half-Emperor expert. His face instantly paled in terror.
*Boom…*
Ye Yunfei's palm continually expanded, unleashing a mighty, terrifying energy that surged to suppress Miao Haoyu.
*Boom…*
Miao Haoyu waved his hand, releasing a five-tiered treasure pagoda, instantly activating it. It turned out to be a Half-Emperor artifact.
He was the grandchild of the Miao Clan's Da Wangye, so he carried several Half-Emperor artifacts for protection. His soul sea also contained a Half-Emperor grade Soul Power artifact for defense.
Other Miao Clan offspring didn't receive such preferential treatment.
However, Ye Yunfei neither dodged nor evaded. With a single palm chop, he struck the treasure pagoda, sending it flying away. Then, with a grab, he seized Miao Haoyu, directly sealed him, and teleported him into the Phantom Tower.
Ye Yunfei himself also entered the Phantom Tower. Without hesitation, he took out a poison pill and shoved it into Miao Haoyu's mouth.
"Aaaah…!"
Miao Haoyu immediately screamed in agony.
Half an hour later, Ye Yunfei began his interrogation.
However, this Miao Haoyu possessed quite a backbone. No matter how Ye Yunfei questioned him, he refused to answer.
Ye Yunfei didn't waste words. He took out another poison pill and forced him to swallow it.
Ye Yunfei proceeded to feed him four poison pills in a row. Finally, Miao Haoyu completely broke down and began answering Ye Yunfei's questions.
"So it's the Da Wangye behind the persecution of Mother and Little Fei."
After thorough interrogation, Ye Yunfei finally extracted the truth from Miao Haoyu's mouth. It was the Da Wangye cooperating with the old Wizard who had detained Miao Ziqiong and Xiao Fei inside Fengyang Palace.
Although the Da Wangye and the old Wizard had acted with great secrecy, Miao Haoyu, being the Da Wangye's direct grandson, had inadvertently learned some details.
Ye Yunfei also learned from Miao Haoyu that the idea of betrothing Xiao Fei to the Jiao Clan's Second Prince was also proposed by the Da Wangye and the old Wizard!
"Da Wangye! Old Wizard!"
Ye Yunfei gnashed his teeth, his eyes brimming with astonishing killing intent.
Ye Yunfei now clearly understood that the masterminds behind all the persecution his mother and sister had suffered were the Da Wangye and the old Wizard!
Now, Ye Yunfei could precisely identify his enemies!
"Next, I will repay you both properly!" Ye Yunfei said coldly.
After finishing interrogating Miao Haoyu, Ye Yunfei exited the Phantom Tower. He spent another hour subjugating the vast majority of the Miao Clan members in Qianfeng City, turning them all into his slaves.
"In about half a day, a procurement team from Fengyang Palace will come to Qianfeng City to purchase supplies. The strength of these procurement personnel is all below the mid-stage World Fusion Realm. I will subjugate these procurement personnel completely and make them my slaves. Brother Situ, you transform into one of them, and then we'll infiltrate Fengyang Palace," Ye Yunfei said to Situ Kong'er.
The news that Fengyang Palace's procurement personnel would come to Qianfeng City came from the mouth of one of the slaves, as that slave was specifically responsible for receiving the procurement personnel from Fengyang Palace.
"Good! We can finally go in to save your mother and Little Fei!" Situ Kong'er nodded.
Sure enough, half a day later, a flying ship arrived from the direction of Fengyang Palace, landing within Qianfeng City. A group of beings then emerged from the ship.
These were the procurement personnel from Fengyang Palace.
The slave under Ye Yunfei's command led these procurement personnel into a remote alley.
"Why are you bringing us here?"
The moment they entered the alley, the procurement team grew suspicious.
*Boom…*
A gigantic hand descended from the sky, exuding a terrifying aura of energy that instantly suppressed all the procurement personnel, then scooped them up in a single grab.
The next moment, all these procurement personnel were teleported by Ye Yunfei into the Phantom Tower.
Ye Yunfei employed the Puppet Soul Threads Secret Art, completely subjugating these procurement personnel and turning them all into slaves.
Two hours later, the procurement team's flying ship soared into the sky, heading back towards Fengyang Palace.
"Mother… Little Fei… we are finally about to meet," Ye Yunfei thought, his heart stirred with emotion.
Just as this flying ship headed towards Fengyang Palace, another massive flying ship slowly arrived above Fengyang Palace.
The hull of this ship was carved full of majestic, coiled Jiao dragons.
"Welcome, Second Prince!"
The Miao Clan's old Wizard and several Elders were already waiting within Fengyang Palace. As soon as they saw this ship, they immediately rose into the air to greet it.
"Elders Two, Three, and Four, Great Wizard, greetings! I've come to see my soon-to-be wedded wife," said a burly man leading a large entourage out from the ship. From time to time, the phantom of a Jiao dragon could be seen surfacing from his muscular physique.
This man was the Jiao Clan's Second Prince!
"Haha… Great Elder, I never imagined you would come as well!"
An old man stood beside the Second Prince, his gaze penetrating, surveying the scene with an authoritative air. Upon seeing this old man, the Miao Clan's old Wizard and the three Elders immediately walked over to exchange warm greetings.
It turned out this old man was the Jiao Clan's Great Elder!
The Jiao Clan's Great Elder personally accompanying the Second Prince was quite the grand display.
Next, the old Wizard and the three Elders welcomed the Jiao Clan's Great Elder and Second Prince into the reception hall of Fengyang Palace, treating them with hospitality.
"I would like to see Xiao Fei!"
Not long after taking his seat, the Second Prince couldn't wait and spoke up.
"Hahaha… The Second Prince is truly a sentimental person! I shall take you to see Xiao Fei immediately!" the old Wizard said with a hearty laugh.
He then rose and personally led the Jiao Clan's Second Prince towards the room where Xiao Fei resided.
At this moment, Miao Ziqiong was inside the room, sitting by the bed, holding Xiao Fei's hand while talking to her—though, of course, she could only ask and answer the questions herself.
