"I see. These Flying Sky Yin Monkeys weren't divining your location; they were divining the location of the eight Flying Sky Yin Monkeys inside the Phantom Tower."
Hun Lao suddenly understood.
"Yes. Who would have thought that beings from the Netherworld would also come out and begin to roam the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds?"
Ye Yunfei nodded as he spoke.
"The Netherworld is part of the Underworld's court. The beings of the Underworld have always been secretive and do not venture out easily. Now that they have begun to emerge, the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds are truly starting to descend into chaos. And it will be a chaos unlike any seen before."
Hun Lao remarked.
"Among these six Flying Sky Yin Monkeys, one possesses the strength of a junior-level Heavenly Emperor, and five are at the half-step emperor level. It seems the Netherworld's strength is far greater than I imagined."
Ye Yunfei carefully sensed the few Flying Sky Yin Monkeys charging from the distance, feeling somewhat surprised.
These monkeys were only out searching for someone and likely weren't major figures within the Netherworld itself. Yet, just a few random beings sent out from the Netherworld possessed such strength. It was evident how formidable the Netherworld's power truly was.
"The Netherworld's strength might not be inferior to that of the Main World!"
Hun Lao guessed.
"Indeed,"
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Then what do we do now? These Flying Sky Yin Monkeys are definitely searching for those eight monkeys. They will inevitably find you sooner or later."
Hun Lao asked.
"Those eight Flying Sky Yin Monkeys are of no further use to me now. Keeping them by my side is just a burden. It's better to let them go."
After a moment's thought, Ye Yunfei spoke up.
When Ye Yunfei had initially subdued those eight monkeys, they could still be of some assistance. However, as Ye Yunfei's own power continuously increased, there was simply no need for them anymore, and they remained within the Phantom Tower.
"But those eight Flying Sky Yin Monkeys are controlled by your Puppet Soul Threads secret technique. If you let them return to the Netherworld and they are discovered by a major figure there, trouble will surely come for you. Though the Puppet Soul Threads technique is profound, it might be insignificant to beings at the immortal realm. And it's very likely that beings at the immortal realm exist within the Netherworld."
Hun Lao expressed concern.
"Letting them go is still better than killing them. I have no feud with the Flying Sky Yin Monkey race to begin with. Killing them would be manufacturing hatred. Moreover, one among those eight monkeys is a Holy Son, likely a figure of significant status within the race. If I killed him, the Flying Sky Yin Monkey tribe would most likely investigate relentlessly."
Ye Yunfei considered and then spoke.
"Then you decide."
Hun Lao said.
"There's something strange over there!"
At this moment, one of the Flying Sky Yin Monkeys' gaze suddenly shifted to Ye Yunfei's concealed position, its voice cold.
Swoosh! Swoosh…
Six Flying Sky Yin Monkeys simultaneously charged toward Ye Yunfei's location.
"Let's leave here first."
Ye Yunfei activated a Space Teleportation Token and vanished in an instant.
Boom! Boom…
The moment Ye Yunfei teleported away, the six Flying Sky Yin Monkeys simultaneously shattered space, plunging into its depths to arrive at the spot where Ye Yunfei had just been hiding.
"Just now, I seemed to sense an incredibly faint aura of the Holy Son. What exactly is going on?"
One of the Flying Sky Yin Monkeys said, puzzled.
"The Holy Son might have lingered at this location before. Come, let's search the vicinity."
The Flying Sky Yin Monkeys searched the area for a while before turning and leaving.
By this time, Ye Yunfei had teleported back to the Primordial Continent, for it was here that he had originally encountered those eight Flying Sky Yin Monkeys.
Ye Yunfei directly summoned the eight Flying Sky Yin Monkeys out from the Phantom Tower.
"We greet our Master!"
The eight monkeys immediately bowed upon seeing Ye Yunfei.
"From now on, you will act independently and seek an opportunity to return to the Netherworld. Your tribesmen have already come out to search for you."
Ye Yunfei stated directly.
"Master, we wish to stay by your side."
All eight Flying Sky Yin Monkeys spoke in unison.
Their Soul Bodies were controlled by the Puppet Soul Threads, making them utterly loyal to Ye Yunfei.
"No. You should return to the Netherworld. By making use of the Netherworld's resources to enhance your strength, you'll be of greater help to me in the future. Therefore, return to the Netherworld."
Ye Yunfei instructed them.
Naturally, the eight Flying Sky Yin Monkeys obeyed their master's every word.
After giving them detailed instructions, Ye Yunfei let them depart on their own.
Following Ye Yunfei's instructions, the eight monkeys left the Primordial Continent after parting from him and began traveling through the Chaotic Void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
Not long after, several more Flying Sky Yin Monkeys came surging toward them, reaching the eight who had just been released.
"It's the Holy Son! It is indeed the Holy Son! We've finally found the Holy Son!"
The newly arrived monkeys immediately recognized the Holy Son, shouting excitedly.
Moments later, even more Flying Sky Yin Monkeys surged forth, surrounding and escorting the Holy Son.
Soon after, the Holy Son was taken back to the Netherworld by his tribesmen who had come searching for him.
"I hope no trouble arises."
Watching from afar as the Holy Son was escorted by a large group of Flying Sky Yin Monkeys back toward the Netherworld, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but murmur softly.
His worry was that the Puppet Soul Threads he had implanted in the eight monkeys' Soul Bodies might be discovered by a major figure from the Netherworld. If so, he would gain another group of enemies.
He had also considered simply killing the eight monkeys, but Ye Yunfei understood that, given the Netherworld's power, even if he did so, there might still be ways for them to track it back to him. Besides, after having those eight monkeys accompany him for so long, slaughtering them outright went against his nature.
"Forget it. I'll cross that bridge when I come to it."
Ye Yunfei said quietly.
Boom! Boom…
At that moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly felt time and space tremble violently in the distance, where a terrifying energy was erupting.
"Demon Force!"
Ye Yunfei's heart stirred as he gazed intently into the distance.
Boom! Boom…
Fearsome spatial tremors transmitted from afar, and Ye Yunfei sensed a billowing demonic force spreading.
"A Heavenly Emperor-level member of the Demon Race!"
Ye Yunfei was inwardly startled.
"I never expected Heavenly Emperor-level experts of the Demon Race would also emerge to move about!"
Ye Yunfei felt a little surprised.
In the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, although demons occasionally appeared, they were usually weaker members of their race. Heavenly Emperor-level demons generally did not leave the Demon Realm.
In his previous life, Ye Yunfei had once entered the Demon Realm and fought against several Heavenly Emperor-level demon experts. However, they later reconciled, and Ye Yunfei withdrew from the Demon Realm, having no further significant contact with the demon race thereafter.
Within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, there were several extremely mysterious realms that rarely interacted with beings from the outside. The Underworld's Court, the Demon Realm, and the Demon World were especially so. Beings from these three realms seldom ventured out to roam among the other worlds under normal circumstances, with only the occasional rare individual emerging.
But now, a Heavenly Emperor-level demon expert had actually appeared in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
"Let's go and take a look."
After thinking for a moment, Ye Yunfei shifted his body technique and headed toward the direction where the demon force was erupting.
