"Thankfully, I had previously acquired Ancestor Fruits within a Small World, and thankfully, we inadvertently overheard the conversation of those Sky Lion Realm people. That's how we managed to convince them to help us sneak out," Su Qingluo said with a smile.
"Also, thankfully that immense face appeared just in time; otherwise, those Earth Immortals wouldn't have let the Sky Lion Realm group leave the secret realm so easily," Ye Yunfei added.
"Indeed," Su Qingluo nodded.
After leaving the Ancient God Ruins, Su Qingluo finally let out a complete sigh of relief. Next, as long as she could return to the Reincarnation Palace headquarters, she wouldn't need to fear those Earth Immortals anymore.
The Reincarnation Palace had been passed down through extremely long eons, possessing profound heritage. Moreover, with both herself and the Reincarnation Elder as Earth Immortal experts, even if those major forces allied to attack, the Reincarnation Palace had the power to put up a fight. Besides, within the Main World, the Reincarnation Palace also had allies and a large number of nearby affiliated powers! Therefore, after leaving the Ancient God Ruins, Su Qingluo's mood lightened considerably.
'This sudden upheaval... Thankfully he intervened promptly to help me. Otherwise, I might not have escaped the Ancient God Ruins unscathed,' Su Qingluo thought, her beautiful eyes sweeping over Ye Yunfei with a grateful expression.
Through this period of time spent together, she had unknowingly begun to rediscover some of the feelings from when she and Ye Yunfei were together before. Deep within her heart, the weight Ye Yunfei occupied was growing heavier.
'Just who is this young man? Why is Palace Lord Su with him? Moreover, they look very familiar, as if they've known each other for a long time!' The three elders standing nearby, watching Su Qingluo and Ye Yunfei converse, were greatly perplexed.
These three elders were all Reincarnation Palace Elders. Earlier, Su Qingluo and Ye Yunfei had been hiding within the Phantom Tower, which the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm carried, concealed inside Elder Jiang's body. The Samsara aura emanating from Su Qingluo and the other Reincarnation Palace members was masked by Elder Jiang's internal Samsara aura. Elder Jiang had willingly allowed himself to be injured by Su Qingluo. When Su Qingluo made her move, she infused a large amount of Samsara energy into his body, severely damaging his internal organs.
"Palace Lord Su, we should return," one elder stepped forward and said to Su Qingluo.
"Elder Yu, rest assured. From the moment we stepped out of the Ancient God Ruins, we are safe," Su Qingluo said to that elder.
"Qing Luo, you should return to the Main World first. Those several major forces have surely already begun moving against your Reincarnation Palace. Moreover, I think since there are already three elders who have betrayed you within the Reincarnation Palace, we cannot rule out the possibility of even more traitors," Ye Yunfei said to Su Qingluo.
"Young man, what do you mean by that? One shouldn't speak carelessly without certainty," the three elders were shocked upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words. In their eyes, Ye Yunfei was merely at the Emperor realm and shouldn't be discussing Reincarnation Palace affairs recklessly.
"He is right! There will definitely be more traitors within our Reincarnation Palace! Those major forces, so meticulously scheming against us, have likely long since planted a batch of spies within the Reincarnation Palace! Upon my return this time, my first task is to root out those spies! If the internal threats aren't removed, our Reincarnation Palace will never know peace!" Su Qingluo said, her gaze revealing intense killing intent.
Hearing Su Qingluo's words, the three elders' expressions turned grave. They understood that her words meant a bloody purge was about to erupt within the Reincarnation Palace.
"Those Earth Immortals have already memorized the aura of your Soul Body. When they emerge from the Ancient God Ruins, they will immediately investigate your identity and background. At that time, everyone connected to you across the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds will likely face pursuit and assassination. So, you must immediately relocate all those connected to you. Let's do this: you gather them all and come with us back to the Reincarnation Palace headquarters. Our Reincarnation Palace will protect your people," Su Qingluo said to Ye Yunfei.
"Palace Lord Su, bringing people from the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds back... the Reincarnation Elder will likely object...," the three elders were startled by Su Qingluo's words. That Elder Yu spoke up.
"If it weren't for him this time, I might already have been killed by those Earth Immortal experts. If I had died within the Ancient God Ruins, which one of our Reincarnation Palace members do you think would have had the ability to escape from there? By that reckoning, the three of you were also saved by him. Do you still have any questions?" Hearing Elder Yu's words, Su Qingluo's face darkened as she spoke coldly.
"Palace Lord Su, within the Ancient God Ruins... this young man saved you? But his strength..." The three elders were greatly surprised upon hearing Su Qingluo's words. One of them couldn't help but ask.
They didn't know how Ye Yunfei had helped Su Qingluo escape. In their minds, Ye Yunfei was merely at the Emperor realm; how could he possibly possess the power to help Su Qingluo deal with those Earth Immortal experts?
"Are you questioning my words?" Su Qingluo flared with anger, a chilling coldness instantly erupting.
"Palace Lord Su, we have no further questions," feeling Su Qingluo's wrath, the three elders were startled and quickly lowered their heads.
"Alright, hurry and go gather all those connected to you from across the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, then come with me back to the Reincarnation Palace headquarters," Su Qingluo said to Ye Yunfei.
She knew that once those Earth Immortal experts emerged from the Ancient God Ruins, they would undoubtedly investigate Ye Yunfei's identity and background. At that time, everyone connected to Ye Yunfei would be pursued! Su Qingluo understood Ye Yunfei's personality and knew he cared deeply for the safety of those people!
"Go to the Reincarnation Palace headquarters..." Ye Yunfei hesitated slightly.
Although Su Qingluo was the Palace Lord of the Reincarnation Palace, the Reincarnation Palace also had a Reincarnation Elder and a large number of high-ranking members. If he brought a large group of people with him to follow Su Qingluo to their headquarters, he might face ostracism. Yet, at the moment, this seemed to be the best course of action.
Right at that moment—
"Who goes there!" Su Qingluo's expression suddenly changed as she looked toward the distant Chaotic Void.
"No need to be alarmed, it's us." A laughing voice sounded, then two figures slowly emerged from that location. One was a figure clad in armor, looking like an ordinary soldier-like old man. The other was a tall, fat monk with a face glowing red.
"Seniors, it's you!" Upon seeing these two, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but rejoice and immediately went to greet them.
Seeing that Ye Yunfei knew these two, Su Qingluo immediately relaxed. She knew that people familiar to Ye Yunfei usually posed no problem.
"Hahaha... So, exploring and treasure-seeking in that secret realm, did you have good harvests?" The Fat Monk laughed heartily.
"Don't talk about harvests. With his current strength and realm, managing to come out alive from that secret realm is already pretty good," the old man said.
It was precisely these two who had originally instructed Ye Yunfei to go to Tianpo Realm and explore the Ancient God Ruins! They had also been paying attention to Ye Yunfei's movements the whole time. So, the moment Ye Yunfei returned to the Chaotic Void of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, they sensed his aura and rushed over immediately.
"Hmm? This young woman is actually an Earth Immortal! Such a rich aura of Samsara energy... Could she be the Reincarnation Palace Lord from the Main World?" At that moment, the gaze of the Fat Monk and the old man simultaneously shifted to Su Qingluo, revealing looks of astonishment.
