"You're coming with us?"
The Reincarnation Palace disciples were stunned by the question.
Those dozen or so disciples had been secretly using sound transmission to guess at Ye Yunfei's identity, but they remained unable to fathom his origins.
They couldn't figure out why this unfamiliar man before them cared so much about the affairs of their Reincarnation Palace.
"However, we can ask this fellow first. He might know."
Ye Yunfei's gaze fell on Meng Qingshan, whom he held in his hand.
"Speak. What is really going on? Is your Qingxuan Sect planning to harm Palace Lord Su?"
Ye Yunfei asked coldly.
"Kid, who the hell are you? I advise you not to get involved in this matter, or you will definitely regret it. This affair concerns a major upheaval in our Main World. The implications run deep, and regardless of your origins or the power behind you — be it some faction or some expert — anyone who dares to side with the Reincarnation Palace will ultimately die a miserable death without a place to be buried!"
Meng Qingshan, sealed and unable to move, was held in Ye Yunfei's hand like a chicken. To be treated this way despite his status as a Mystic Immortal filled him with indignation and despair. Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's question, he immediately replied.
"If you don't want to be tortured, you'd best answer my questions truthfully."
Ye Yunfei said flatly.
"Kid…" Meng Qingshan wanted to say something.
Boom!
Ye Yunfei had already lost patience. With a thought, a terrifying burst of Soul Power energy surged mightily from his mind and crashed directly into Meng Qingshan's Soul Sea.
Soul Probing Art!
This was a secret technique of the Soul Race that Ye Yunfei had acquired after refining the Soul Emperor. It was specifically designed for extracting an entity's memories.
This Soul Probing Art was exceptionally domineering. During the probing process, it inflicted immense agony on the target. Furthermore, any creature subjected to it would generally become a mindless fool with no memories afterward.
"Kid, what are you doing?! Ah… You're forcibly reading my memories… Stop!"
Meng Qingshan was first startled, then began to scream in agony.
Although Ye Yunfei's current cultivation was only at the Advanced Heavenly Emperor level, his Soul Power had long since reached the Primary Mystic Immortal tier and was even approaching the Intermediate level!
Coupled with the support of the Nurturing Soul Tree, he could completely suppress Meng Qingshan's Soul Body.
Aaaaaah!
Meng Qingshan screamed while struggling desperately.
Within his Soul Sea, his Soul Body was frantically mobilizing all its Soul Power energy to resist Ye Yunfei's Soul Probing Art. Furthermore, several Soul Power-type magical treasures were activated to protect his Soul Body.
"The methods of this Young Hero are truly terrifying."
Seeing Meng Qingshan's wretched state, those dozen-plus Reincarnation Palace disciples felt their hearts tremble with fear, and their awe for Ye Yunfei grew.
"Kid, just you wait! The higher-ups of our Qingxuan Sect will avenge me!"
A moment later, Meng Qingshan suddenly stopped screaming. His gaze, filled with bitter resentment, locked onto Ye Yunfei as he spoke word by word, each syllable almost dripping with blood.
"Young Hero, be careful! He intends to use the Qingxuan Sect's Recorded Soul Curse to capture your appearance and Soul Body aura, then send them to the sect's higher-ups."
Seeing Meng Qingshan's expression, the lead Reincarnation Palace disciple was shocked and hastily shouted a warning.
Bang!
Just as the disciple finished speaking, Meng Qingshan's head directly exploded. A special talisman script appeared and shot towards Ye Yunfei.
Upon hearing the warning, Ye Yunfei was already prepared. With a wave of his hand, a sharp sword-light swept out and slashed at it.
However, even after being struck by the sword-light, the talisman script remained unscathed and continued rushing towards Ye Yunfei with astonishing speed.
"Young Hero, let me block it for you!"
The leading Reincarnation Palace disciple's figure flashed, positioning himself in front of Ye Yunfei.
With a *pfft* sound, the talisman script directly penetrated into his body and vanished.
"Why did you block the curse script for me?"
Ye Yunfei felt somewhat grateful and asked.
"Young Hero, you saved us just now, and we don't even know how to thank you properly. Blocking a single curse script is nothing. Moreover, this is our Reincarnation Palace's affair to begin with. Since Young Hero is so enthusiastically helping, how could we just stand idly by?"
The disciple said.
"What's more, this Meng Qingshan attacked us Reincarnation Palace disciples so wantonly. Even if the people of Qingxuan Sect don't come looking for me, I will definitely report this matter to our own higher-ups. We will then settle accounts with Qingxuan Sect. So, this Recorded Soul Curse talisman has no impact on me whatsoever."
The disciple added.
"Hm. Thank you, regardless."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
His favorable impression of this Reincarnation Palace disciple increased significantly.
"Young Hero, my name is Tao Zihua. I am a disciple of the Fifth Cave of Reincarnation Palace. May I ask the Young Hero's esteemed name?"
The disciple inquired.
"I am Ye Yunfei. You can just call me by my name."
Ye Yunfei replied.
"So it is Brother Ye."
Tao Zihua politely cupped his hands towards Ye Yunfei.
"I wonder under which master Brother Ye studies…" Tao Zihua asked, intending to inquire about Ye Yunfei's background.
"Qingxuan Sect, Western Sect, Qian Tang Empire… These four factions are among the more powerful ones in your Main World, right?"
Without directly addressing Tao Zihua's question, Ye Yunfei suddenly asked.
"Yes, they are. Young Hero… are you perhaps not from our Main World?"
Tao Zihua was taken aback.
"I just learned from this fellow's memory that the experts of these forces are joining forces, preparing to deal with Palace Lord Su. We must immediately go inform Palace Lord Su; she is in danger."
Ye Yunfei stated solemnly.
"Let's go, we'll go together!"
Ye Yunfei had managed to extract a portion of the memories from Meng Qingshan.
"You're coming with us?" Tao Zihua was surprised again.
"Let's go. The most important thing right now is to notify Palace Lord Su as quickly as possible."
Ye Yunfei insisted.
"Alright! We'll go find Palace Lord Su now!"
Tao Zihua nodded in agreement.
Thus, Ye Yunfei and these dozen-plus Reincarnation Palace disciples swiftly made for the exit of this Small World.
"Can you directly contact Palace Lord Su?"
Ye Yunfei asked Tao Zihua.
"I am just an ordinary disciple; I don't have the qualification to directly contact the Palace Lord. But rest assured, Young Hero. I have already used the special communication jade slip of our Reincarnation Palace to report the matter to Steward Xu. Once Steward Xu receives my message, he will definitely contact Palace Lord Su immediately."
Tao Zihua replied.
Ye Yunfei nodded.
He had only asked on a whim, hoping for luck. This Tao Zihua was merely an ordinary disciple within Reincarnation Palace. He most likely didn't have the qualification to contact the Palace Lord directly and probably didn't even have her contact method.
A short while later, Ye Yunfei and the dozen-plus Reincarnation Palace disciples charged out of the Small World.
"Hahaha… There's another group of Reincarnation Palace disciples here! Capture them all!"
Suddenly, a wild laugh rang out.
