"Call me Palace Lord Su!"
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's voice, Su Qingluo's body trembled slightly. Clenching her teeth, she spoke, though deep down, for some reason, she didn't actually resent him calling her that. Yet on the surface, she acted even more indifferent.
For her, this was a painful inner struggle!
"Qing Luo, no matter what your current status or position is, and no matter how you regard me in your heart, you are still the Qing Luo from my memories!
I still abide by the vows we made back on the Tianxuan Continent, and I always will!"
Ye Yunfei's gaze rested firmly on Su Qingluo as he spoke with unwavering conviction.
"If you spout any more nonsense... I'll slap you to death!"
Su Qingluo glared at Ye Yunfei, her voice filled with anger.
Ye Yunfei simply stared right back at her, showing not a trace of fear.
Of course, Ye Yunfei knew that even though Su Qingluo was severely injured now, killing him would be effortless for her—after all, she was an Earth Immortal!
"Just leave, quickly.
They will definitely not let me go. In my current state, I cannot protect you.
It's best if you find a way out of this secret realm, because they've already noticed you.
Go now. They'll be upon us in moments."
Meeting Ye Yunfei's firm gaze, a flicker of panic suddenly appeared on Su Qingluo's face, and she hastily changed the subject.
"Your injuries are severe. You need to find a place to recover," Ye Yunfei said, frowning as he sensed her energy aura continuously weakening.
"You have neither the right nor the ability to meddle in my affairs.
Go!"
Su Qingluo replied impatiently.
"I know a place where I can take you to recover," Ye Yunfei said after a moment's thought.
"I told you, my affairs are none of your concern.
With your strength, you are but an ant to them—easily crushed.
If you value your life, stay away from me!"
Su Qingluo's face darkened as she spoke coldly.
Pu-pu...
As she finished speaking, she coughed up several mouthfuls of blood, her condition worsening further.
To escape from the five Earth Immortals earlier, she had been forced to use a forbidden secret technique, with five of her avatars destroyed, leaving her gravely wounded.
Then, at the secret realm's exit, she had been forced to use the technique again, sustaining more injuries.
"I know you don't want to implicate me.
But in your current state, unfamiliar with this secret realm, it will be very difficult to evade the pursuit of those Earth Immortals.
Although my strength is lacking,
I genuinely know of a place. If we enter there, we might be able to escape their tracking."
Ye Yunfei had no intention of abandoning Su Qingluo and fleeing alone.
"What place?"
Su Qingluo couldn't help but ask upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words.
"In that direction," Ye Yunfei pointed.
"Fine. I'll follow you to take a look."
Su Qingluo hesitated for a moment. In her memory, Ye Yunfei never spoke empty boasts.
"Your injuries are severe. It's best not to use any of your energy anymore.
Take these pills. They should help your recovery somewhat.
From now on, let me carry you."
Ye Yunfei spoke to Su Qingluo, retrieving a large batch of specialized recovery pills and placing them before her.
These were the highest-grade recovery pills Ye Yunfei was currently capable of refining.
"You carry me?
With your strength and speed, they would catch up to us in an instant."
Su Qingluo felt Ye Yunfei was overestimating himself.
"My strength may be weak, and my speed cannot compare to yours.
But I have this."
Ye Yunfei took out his Space Teleportation Token, loaded a sizable haul of Space Crystals into it, and activated it.
Boom...
The Space Teleportation Token erupted with a powerful teleportation energy that enveloped Ye Yunfei and Su Qingluo, whisking them away instantly.
When filled with enough Space Crystals, the Space Teleportation Token could cover great distances.
Not long ago, the Great Strength Demon God had bestowed a collection of treasures upon Ye Yunfei, among which were vast quantities of Space Crystals.
It was worth noting that the Great Strength Demon God also possessed profound attainment in spatial energy and laws, hence his rich collection of Space Crystals.
Whoosh... whoosh...
Moments after Ye Yunfei and Su Qingluo departed, five figures radiating terrifying auras arrived at the spot they had just left.
"That whore was just here! I can sense her aura!
She's severely injured. If we can find her, killing her should be easy!"
Sect Master Li of the Qingxuan Sect said grimly.
"Everyone, let us split up and track her!"
Sect Master Li said to the other four Earth Immortals.
The five Earth Immortals then divided and pursued in different directions.
Sect Master Li headed precisely in the direction Ye Yunfei and Su Qingluo had just taken.
"This is the Small World!"
By this time, Ye Yunfei and Su Qingluo had already arrived at the entrance of a Small World.
It was precisely the Small World where the Great Strength Demon God resided.
"Do you truly believe the restrictions laid down by the Great Strength Demon God can handle Earth Immortal experts?"
Hun Lao asked Ye Yunfei.
The Small World of the Great Strength Demon God suppressed all energy except physical strength. Hun Lao understood that Ye Yunfei intended to use the restrictions within that Small World to deal with the Earth Immortals pursuing Su Qingluo.
"Even if they can't handle them outright, they should still be able to restrain them, right?
We won't know unless we try.
I heard the Great Strength Demon God say that in life, relying solely on his physical strength, he could dominate all beings of the Immortal realms, and to the vast majority of beings in the world, he could be considered a Deity.
So I guess the various restrictions he set up, even if they can't directly crush Earth Immortals, should at least be able to restrain them.
I'll take Qing Luo into this Small World now and see if we can use the restrictions there to hold off those Earth Immortals."
After saying this to Hun Lao, Ye Yunfei led Su Qingluo into the Great Strength Demon God's Small World.
"The restrictions in this Small World are incredibly advanced!
They forcefully suppress all kinds of energy!"
Already severely wounded and with her strength greatly diminished, Su Qingluo felt the various energies she possessed being forcefully suppressed the moment she entered the Small World. She couldn't help but blanch.
Even her Soul Power energy was suppressed!
"Can the restrictions in this Small World suppress the energy of an Earth Immortal?"
Ye Yunfei quickly asked.
"The restrictions here can partially restrain the energy of an Earth Immortal,"
Su Qingluo answered after sensing her surroundings.
"Good! I know a place within it where the restrictions are even stronger!
Even Earth Immortal experts will find their energy suppressed there!"
Hearing Su Qingluo's words, Ye Yunfei felt a surge of relief.
Whoosh!
Relying purely on his physical strength, Ye Yunfei carried Su Qingluo and shot toward the dense forest where the Great Strength Demon God resided.
