Back when Ye Yunfei first met the Ice Demon, he had indeed promised to one day take him to find his people.
As far as Ye Yunfei knew, the Ice Demon race had always lived within a unique interface of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds known as the Ice Realm.
The Ice Realm contained incredibly advanced laws of ice and snow. The entire world was perpetually blanketed in swirling snow, exceptionally cold.
Ordinary creatures would find it extremely difficult to adapt to the environment of the Ice Realm, yet these conditions were perfectly suited for the Ice Demon race.
"What kind of world is the Ice Realm?"
The Ice Demon asked Ye Yunfei curiously.
"We will reach the Ice Realm very soon. You can experience it for yourself then," Ye Yunfei replied with a smile.
With Ye Yunfei's current movement speed, reaching any world in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds wouldn't take much time.
However, as Ye Yunfei headed towards the Ice Realm, two beings in the distance locked their gaze upon him.
One was a tall, well-built man with long hair cascading over his shoulders; the other was an old man in gray robes. Both radiated formidable auras.
At this moment, the gray-robed elder had already locked onto Ye Yunfei with his Soul Power.
"That's the kid. He has many Human Immortal Fruits. If I can get those, my chances of breaking through to the Mystic Immortal realm will surely increase significantly," the well-built man said to the old man.
Almost simultaneously, both Hun Lao and Ye Yunfei were greatly alarmed, sensing a terrifyingly potent Soul Power sweeping through the void from a distance, locking down the space they occupied.
"Not good! An incredibly powerful expert has already locked onto you with his Soul Power! I suspect this must be an Immortal realm expert. We should prepare to flee," Hun Lao urgently warned Ye Yunfei.
"I sensed it too. The other party is definitely an Immortal realm expert," Ye Yunfei said, forcing a bitter smile.
Ye Yunfei understood this Immortal realm expert was most likely from the Main World. He had offended quite a few Main World powers lately.
"The best escape method available to us right now is to immediately enter a nearby world. As long as we can enter one of the worlds, this Immortal realm expert won't dare to act against you casually; otherwise, it might invoke the Ancient Pact," Hun Lao suggested.
"Exactly. That's indeed the most effective method," Ye Yunfei nodded in agreement after hearing Hun Lao's words.
Last time, when chased by a Demon Race Immortal realm expert, Ye Yunfei had also sought refuge inside a world. It was only by provoking the Ancient Pact that he managed to repel that expert.
While talking with Hun Lao, Ye Yunfei had already taken out a Space Teleportation Token, intending to activate it and teleport to a nearby world.
In the distance, the gray-robed elder was scrutinizing Ye Yunfei with his gaze.
"A mere Intermediate Heavenly Emperor... Is your own strength not enough to deal with him? Why do you need me to intervene?"
After sensing Ye Yunfei's cultivation level, the gray-robed elder couldn't help but frown slightly, addressing the long-haired man.
"Senior Brother, you are not aware. Although this kid's cultivation level is only Intermediate Heavenly Emperor, his combat prowess far exceeds his realm. Furthermore, during that incident in the ruins on Feixian Continent, Sect Master Zong Taibai had intervened on his behalf. That's why I failed to seize those Human Immortal Fruits from him back then. I invited you, Senior Brother, this time to ensure we can secure those fruits with absolute certainty. You must also know, Senior Brother, that I will soon attempt a breakthrough to the Mystic Immortal realm. If I have those Human Immortal Fruits, my chances of success will be greatly enhanced," the long-haired man explained.
"Alright then. Leave this kid to me. The strength of a mere Intermediate Heavenly Emperor is ultimately limited," the gray-robed elder nodded.
"Kid, come here."
The gray-robed elder extended a palm towards Ye Yunfei from afar and spoke.
With a resounding *boom*, a gigantic gray rune materialized in the space directly above Ye Yunfei.
This gray rune emanated terrifying spatial energy, instantly locking down and sealing the space where Ye Yunfei stood.
Ye Yunfei felt his body sink, as if trapped in mire, unable to move.
At this moment, the Space Teleportation Token in Ye Yunfei's hand had not yet had time to be activated.
"This guy's strength is indeed formidable. His level of spatial energy surpasses mine somewhat. Ye Yunfei, let's join forces right now to break this guy's sealing power and escape. We must act swiftly. We absolutely cannot let him get close to you, or things will become extremely troublesome," Hun Lao said gravely, sensing the sealing energy emanating from the gray rune above Ye Yunfei.
"Hahaha… Kid, did you expect this? We meet again! Last time, at the ruins, Sect Master Zong Taibai backed you up. Let's see who will step forward to help you this time. Hand over all the Human Immortal Fruits on you immediately, or I will make your death extremely unpleasant. What's more, I will find your family, your sect, your relatives and friends, and have them all exterminated. That is the consequence of crossing me!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei immobilized and unable to move in the distance, the well-built man with long hair let out a hearty laugh, his voice laced with menace.
"It's Mo Qinglun from the Reincarnation Palace!"
Ye Yunfei recognized the long-haired man at a glance, his gaze turning cold.
Nevertheless, Ye Yunfei understood full well that he was definitely no match for the gray-robed elder. The priority now was to get away quickly.
*Rumble…*
Ye Yunfei and Hun Lao erupted together, pushing almost their entire reserves of energy to the limit in this instant to resist the gray rune overhead.
Ye Yunfei directly activated the token in his hand.
Although Hun Lao's level of spatial energy was somewhat inferior to that of the gray-robed elder, his spatial energy, derived from the inheritance of the Chaos World Tree clan, possessed a unique quality.
Coupled with Ye Yunfei's cooperation, they instantly shattered the sealing energy of the gray rune above them.
The Space Teleportation Token in Ye Yunfei's hand unleashed a powerful wave of teleportation energy that enveloped him, instantly whisking him away from that space.
"How is this possible? This kid's spatial energy is actually that powerful? He managed to break the spatial lockdown…"
Witnessing this scene from afar, the gray-robed elder's expression changed.
The combined outburst of energy from Ye Yunfei and Hun Lao was too formidable, shattering his seal on that space and catching him somewhat off guard.
"STAY!"
Enraged, the gray-robed elder roared.
Accompanied by his angry shout, a colossal gray hand materialized in the chaotic void, shooting towards Ye Yunfei at a terrifying speed.
The entire giant gray hand radiated fearsome immortal power, sealing off a vast expanse of void in an instant.
However, the power of the Space Teleportation Token in Ye Yunfei's hand was formidable. It forcibly carried Ye Yunfei through the teleportation process, and he vanished in the blink of an eye.
"Kid, there is no escape from me."
The gray-robed elder took a step, traversing a great distance of time and space in an instant, pursuing Ye Yunfei.
His perception was extremely terrifying. Although the Space Teleportation Token had already transported Ye Yunfei a great distance, the gray-robed elder's perception still tightly locked onto Ye Yunfei's figure.
In the next moment, the Space Teleportation Token brought Ye Yunfei to a nearby world. Within a few steps, the gray-robed elder caught up and stood just outside the spatial barrier of this world.
