"No, perhaps their target before was only your Reincarnation Palace. But from now on, I am someone they need to deal with too. Do you really think they will let me off?" Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
"I'm sorry. It's because of me you've been implicated," Su Qingluo replied softly after a moment's hesitation upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, unsure how to respond at first.
Of course, she knew the five Earth Immortal experts had already locked onto Ye Yunfei's aura. They would certainly not let him off easily. And the reason Ye Yunfei had provoked those five Earth Immortal experts was because he had stepped forward to help her. Ye Yunfei was currently only at the Heavenly Emperor level. For a Heavenly Emperor to provoke so many Earth Immortal experts was practically suicidal; the consequences were extremely severe! Not only Ye Yunfei himself, but even the forces and beings connected to him might suffer repercussions!
"Between you and me, there is no such thing as implicating one another. Besides, saying these things now is meaningless. Even if I wanted to withdraw now, those guys would absolutely not spare me," Ye Yunfei said with a chuckle. "Starting from now, we are already in the same trench. Apart from joining forces with your Reincarnation Palace to resist them, I have no other path left."
Deep down, Ye Yunfei also understood that provoking those five Earth Immortal experts could bring serious consequences. But it was impossible for him to stand by and watch Su Qingluo fall into a predicament without lending a hand. So, this was an action born of necessity!
Su Qingluo's beautiful eyes rested on Ye Yunfei. Of course, she knew why Ye Yunfei had intervened to help her.
"This man has never changed towards me. Every time I face danger, he always throws himself forward without regard for his own safety to stand with me against it. It was like this in the past, and it is still like this now." Looking at Ye Yunfei's resolute gaze, Su Qingluo's heart suddenly began to feel flustered again. A sense of sweetness welled up from deep within her, as if she had been transported back to those times on the Tianxuan Continent and in the Canghuang Realm.
Ever since Su Qingluo had returned to the Reincarnation Palace, deep inside her, there had always been two versions of herself in relation to Ye Yunfei: one was the Su Qingluo from the Tianxuan Continent and Canghuang Realm of the past; the other was the high and mighty Palace Master of the Reincarnation Palace. But now, that former Su Qingluo from the Tianxuan Continent and Canghuang Realm was beginning to gain the upper hand, while the Su Qingluo of the Reincarnation Palace was increasingly being suppressed.
"Actually, this young man is not as weak as you might imagine. In my opinion, his talent is not far inferior to yours. Let him accompany you when you go out. For him, this might be a rare trial. He is only at the Heavenly Emperor level, yet he is already starting to face opponents at the Earth Immortal tier. This will be of great benefit to his future cultivation," the Great Strength Demon God said with a smile as he observed these two young people who were somewhat entangled in their emotions, gradually grasping the situation.
"Very well, you can come with me. But in moments of peril, you must not act recklessly on your own. Safety is the top priority," Su Qingluo said after a moment's thought.
Unconsciously, she had already begun to worry about Ye Yunfei's safety.
"Don't worry. My life is as tough as they come. Even an Earth Immortal-level expert won't find it easy to kill me," Ye Yunfei replied with a grin.
"Young man, while I spoke up for you, you must understand that with your current strength, facing Earth Immortal-level opponents truly is dangerous. You must be careful," the Great Strength Demon God secretly sent a voice transmission to Ye Yunfei. Naturally, he didn't want anything to happen to his successor.
"Rest assured, Senior. I will be cautious. And in any case, I won't let the woman who is mine face danger alone," Ye Yunfei replied.
"Senior, before we leave, I intend to arrange a batch of formations here to help reinforce the defensive power of this palace," Ye Yunfei said to the Great Strength Demon God.
"That is good," the Great Strength Demon God nodded.
His Remnant Soul would continue to remain in this palace. If its defensive capabilities could be strengthened, that would naturally be a good thing.
After that, Ye Yunfei began to work, arranging a large number of Formations. These formations were all recorded in the secret texts he possessed, and their power was quite formidable.
After half a day, Ye Yunfei had arranged over thirty formations. Although their might was not as strong as that of the Heaven, Earth, and Man Three Gods Formation, even Earth Immortal-level experts would find it difficult to break through them by brute force in a short period of time.
"With your current level of mastery over formations, you are sure to become an outstanding formation master in the future," the Great Strength Demon God couldn't help but exclaim in admiration as he observed the formations Ye Yunfei had arranged.
Watching this, Su Qingluo also silently nodded in approval.
"Senior, I will now activate and deploy all these formations, arranging them around the palace. After this, ordinary beings won't be able to approach this place so easily," Ye Yunfei said to the Great Strength Demon God.
Rumble...
Ye Yunfei brandished a Formation Flag in his hand. Over thirty formations surged out of the palace with immense momentum, landing in the surrounding area and encasing the palace in multiple layers of protection.
"That Remnant Soul inside the palace truly is skilled in formations! No wonder the power of those three arrays kept increasing!" Outside the palace, the Ghost Formation Heavenly Master was both shocked and furious when he suddenly saw so many formations rushing forth.
"It seems the Remnant Soul within the palace might be left behind by a true formation master," the other four Earth Immortal experts looked on with grim expressions.
"Senior, you can send us out now," Ye Yunfei said to the Great Strength Demon God.
"Good, I shall send you out now," the Great Strength Demon God nodded. Then he waved his hand.
Within the palace, large amounts of restriction energy erupted. Mysterious and arcane runes surged towards Ye Yunfei and Su Qingluo, wrapping around their bodies.
Rumble...
A powerful teleportation energy manifested, enveloping Ye Yunfei and Su Qingluo and beginning to transport them away.
"Take care," the Great Strength Demon God exhorted.
In the next moment, Ye Yunfei and Su Qingluo vanished simultaneously from the palace.
"Ghost Formation Heavenly Master, tell us honestly, do you truly have the ability to break these formations? If you cannot decipher these formations, then there is no point in wasting our time here. We might as well go find more Earth Immortal experts, then join forces and use brute strength to break the arrays!" Outside the palace at this moment, the Five Immortals Sect Master was growing impatient as he spoke to the ghost-array master.
"To unravel these formations... I might need more time to study them," the Ghost Formation Heavenly Master said with a face pale with fury. He knew the four Earth Immortal experts had already begun to doubt his mastery over formations. But he truly had no way to break the arrays at present. This left him stewing with frustration, yet he could do nothing about it.
"Then forget it. We've already wasted days on these formations. Let us invite more Earth Immortal experts to come help us break them!" The Five Immortals Sect Master had completely lost his patience.
