"Mother, don't get agitated, and don't make a sound. You're not mistaken; it's me. I've come to save you and Xiao Fei." Ye Yunfei sent a sound transmission to Miao Ziqiong. At this moment, Ye Yunfei utilized a secret shadow technique to tightly conceal his aura, and Hun Lao also used the aura of the Heavenly Dao Tower to envelop him. Therefore, the two Half-Emperor experts overseeing Fengyang Palace had no way of detecting that another person had appeared in Miao Ziqiong's room.
"Fei'er, it really is you!" Hearing Ye Yunfei's sound transmission, Miao Ziqiong was both shocked and overjoyed. She could hardly believe that her son had actually managed to find his way to the Vermilion Bird Realm!
"Fei'er, you're too rash! The Miao Clan of the Vermilion Bird Realm is brimming with powerful experts; it's not comparable to a low-level world like the Canghuang Realm. Even though you're one of the top masters within Canghuang Realm, if you've come to the Vermilion Bird Realm, you don't have any chance of winning! Why did you run over here? It's far too dangerous! Does your father know? Why didn't he stop you!" After her initial joy, Miao Ziqiong began scolding Ye Yunfei. Of course, she was also communicating via sound transmission. She knew the defenses of this Fengyang Palace were extremely tight, with Half-Emperor experts personally overseeing it! Once Ye Yunfei was discovered, there would be absolutely no chance of escape!
"Fei'er, you must find a way to leave this place immediately, leave the Vermilion Bird Realm. The sooner and farther you go, the better!" Miao Ziqiong urged. She was already filled with utmost self-blame for being unable to protect her daughter; she never imagined her son would also come to this den of vipers that was the Vermilion Bird Realm, sending her into a state of utter panic. If anything happened to her son as well, she truly wouldn't know what to do! Naturally, she hadn't even considered the possibility that her son could rescue her and Xiao Fei, because she knew just how terrifying the overall strength of the Miao Clan in the Vermilion Bird Realm was! Placed within the entirety of the Three Thousand Major Worlds, they were absolutely a super-powerful force ranked among the foremost!
"Mother, I won't leave. If I go, I will take you and Xiao Fei with me," Ye Yunfei replied.
"Xiao Fei and I are fine here. You should go immediately. Leave the same way you came in, make haste! Otherwise, it will be too late!" Miao Ziqiong prodded.
"Mother, you don't need to worry about me. I came specifically to save you and Xiao Fei. I won't abandon you and flee. Rest assured, I'll be fine!" Ye Yunfei knew his mother was worried about him, feeling both gratitude and heartache in his heart. His eyes reddened slightly. His mother was already mired in layers of adversity, yet upon seeing him, her first consideration was still for his safety.
As he spoke, Ye Yunfei extended his soul power towards Xiao Fei, who lay hidden on the bed.
"Xiao Fei really is poisoned!" Ye Yunfei could tell at a glance that Xiao Fei was indeed poisoned.
"It seems to be the legendary Heavenly Sparrow Soul-Locking Powder!" Ye Yunfei sensed carefully for a moment, suddenly his face darkened as he finally identified the poison afflicting Xiao Fei. Heavenly Sparrow Soul-Locking Powder was an extremely tyrannical poison, capable of firmly locking down the victim's soul body, leaving them in a long, unawakening slumber. If a living being had their soul body locked by the Heavenly Sparrow Soul-Locking Powder and remained unconscious for an extended period, over time, the soul body would suffer massive damage, potentially even leading to its obliteration.
"In my previous life, I heard that experts of the Vermilion Bird Realm possessed this kind of dreadful poison. It appears the poison afflicting Xiao Fei was likely administered by one of the Miao Clan's own people here. Most likely it has to do with the old Wizard and Da Wangye!" After recognizing the poison, murderous intent swelled limitlessly within Ye Yunfei's gaze.
"While I don't have the antidote for this poison on hand yet, with my accumulations from my past life and my alchemy level, I am confident I can refine an antidote and awaken Xiao Fei!" Having recognized the Heavenly Sparrow Soul-Locking Powder, Ye Yunfei felt much calmer. This was because in his past life, aside from his identity as a Heavenly Emperor, Ye Yunfei was also a generation-renowned Alchemy Venerable, hailed as the foremost existence in alchemy skill throughout the Three Thousand Major Worlds! There was even a time when experts of the Vermilion Bird Realm came to seek pills from him!
"Fei'er, why don't you listen to your mother. The strength of the Miao Clan in the Vermilion Bird Realm is far too terrifying. They say they have dozens of Half-Emperors alone! With your level of strength, you cannot save Xiao Fei and me!" At this point, seeing Ye Yunfei wasn't heeding her advice, Miao Ziqiong couldn't help but grow anxious.
"Mother, you aren't aware, but my current strength is no longer what it used to be. Mere Half-Emperors are not worth mentioning to me. Mother, how about this. First, you enter my spatial magic treasure, then we can talk in detail. This Fengyang Palace has two Half-Emperors who will occasionally monitor this room of yours. It's inconvenient for us to speak here," Ye Yunfei suggested to Miao Ziqiong.
"The strength of Half-Emperors is not worth mentioning to you?" Hearing her son's words, Miao Ziqiong was taken aback for a moment. She already knew from back in the Canghuang Realm that her son was a remarkable young genius, but she didn't believe her son could have reached a level so quickly where he would disregard Half-Emperors.
"But, if I enter your spatial magic treasure, those two Half-Emperors will quickly discover I've disappeared," Miao Ziqiong hesitated.
"That's simple to handle. Brother Situ, I'll trouble you," Ye Yunfei said to Situ Kong'er.
"All right. I know what to do." Situ Kong'er understood Ye Yunfei's meaning and immediately emerged from the Phantom Tower.
"Auntie, I will transform to take your appearance. Please do not take offense," Situ Kong'er bowed respectfully to Miao Ziqiong and said.
As soon as his words fell, Situ Kong'er had transformed into the appearance of Miao Ziqiong, not only looking like her but even her aura was a match. This was the profound aspect of the Miaoshou Sect's Seventy-Two Transformations!
Seeing this, Miao Ziqiong was greatly startled.
"Mother, please enter my spatial magic treasure immediately." With a wave of his hand, Ye Yunfei instantly transported Miao Ziqiong into the Phantom Tower.
The next moment, both Ye Yunfei and Miao Ziqiong had entered the Phantom Tower.
"Fei'er, you're far too reckless..." Upon entering the Phantom Tower, Miao Ziqiong began chiding Ye Yunfei again.
Rumble...
Ye Yunfei stirred his will, and a powerful wave of spiritual energy released from his body, expansive as a vast sea or boundless as the sky, sweeping across heaven and earth.
"Fei'er, what is your cultivation realm now?" Sensing the terrifying energy pressure radiating from her son, Miao Ziqiong was taken aback and quickly asked.
"Mother, I am currently a primary-level Half-Emperor," Ye Yunfei replied.
"What? Fei'er, you are already a Half-Emperor master? How is that possible? I remember your main body left the Canghuang Realm to go to the Primordial Continent not long ago at all. You've become a Half-Emperor?" Upon hearing this, Miao Ziqiong froze completely in place, unable to believe it. In her understanding, weren't all Half-Emperor masters archaic fossils who had lived for immensely long periods, enduring countless bitter cultivation sessions and hardships before having the chance to cultivate into Half-Emperors? Yet how old was her own son? In her mind, he was still entirely a child! And he had already achieved Half-Emperor strength?
"Fei'er, you truly are a Half-Emperor master now?" Miao Ziqiong asked again.
