"You three lead the team in. Conquer this world in the shortest time possible and capture every single living being within it.
Especially the Miao Tribe members — not a single one is to be left behind!
That brat Ye Yunfei's mother is Miao Ziqiong, his father is Ye Tianpeng, and his sister is Miao Xiaofei!
These three individuals are the absolute top priority!"
The middle-aged man pointed at three Mystic Immortals as he issued his orders.
"Yes!"
The three Mystic Immortals replied in unison.
Two of these three Mystic Immortals were at the Initial-stage, while one was at the Intermediate-stage.
Then, these three Mystic Immortals led a team into the Vermilion Bird Realm.
This team consisted of several hundred people. Apart from the three Mystic Immortals, there were several dozen Heavenly Emperor Realm cultivators, with the rest being Semi-Emperors or Heavenly Domain Realm practitioners.
"Elder Hong, honestly, sending a few dozen Heavenly Emperor Realm cultivators in would be more than enough to conquer this world.
The strength of these ordinary worlds within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds peaks at the Heavenly Emperor Realm, and usually a world only has one or two such existences. Many worlds don't even have Heavenly Emperor Realm cultivators.
Compared to our Main World, these ordinary worlds of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds are far too weak."
The middle-aged man said with a smile, thick disdain coloring his tone.
"These worlds are indeed weak.
However, my principle has always been to use the might of an axe to kill a chicken—leveraging absolute power to cut the Gordian knot in one swift stroke, avoiding any delays."
Elder Hong replied indifferently.
"Elder Hong's insight is profound!"
The middle-aged man flattered.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei was in secluded cultivation within the Phantom Tower.
Ye Yunfei had already been cultivating his Mental Force for over a year.
Throughout this year, every time he utilized the Heart-Refining Pearl to train his Mental Force, his consciousness would be dragged into an unfamiliar world of mental power, subjected to all sorts of terrifying trials and immense suffering.
But the effects were also extremely apparent. Ye Yunfei's Mental Force had advanced by a significant margin during this year!
Moreover, he had also achieved a certain level of success with the Immeasurable Heart Scripture.
The Immeasurable Heart Scripture was a specialized technique for cultivating Mental Force, divided into thirty-six layers.
Each layer required using one's own Mental Force to construct a batch of special symbols. These unique symbols would remain within one's consciousness, providing a steady stream of Mental Force whenever needed.
"Both the Heart-Refining Pearl and the Immeasurable Heart Scripture offer tremendous benefits for cultivating Mental Force!
It's fortunate that senior reminded me just in time back then, allowing me to choose the Heart-Refining Pearl and obtain such a precious treasure."
Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
Back in the ancestral hall of that small mountain village, when Ye Yunfei was selecting items from the altar, the old man fishing on the boat on the lake outside the village had suddenly sent him a voice transmission, telling him to pick the Heart-Refining Pearl. Otherwise, Ye Yunfei might not have necessarily chosen this precious pearl.
Right at that moment.
Ye Yunfei's expression suddenly shifted slightly as he sensed a group of strangers entering the Vermilion Bird Realm.
The aura of this group was incredibly powerful. The moment they entered the Vermilion Bird Realm, the space of this world began to tremble incessantly, as if struggling to bear their presence.
"Three Mystic Immortals, along with several dozen Heavenly Emperor Realm cultivators... They are most likely here for me.
Without a doubt, they must be forces from those major powers in the Main World. They've finally come."
Ye Yunfei sneered.
Ye Yunfei had long anticipated that once those Earth Immortals emerged from the Ancient God Ruins, they would definitely send people to investigate him. Now, those people had finally arrived.
Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei emerged from the Phantom Tower, activated the Shadow Seclusion technique, and stood in the sky above Tianpeng City, staring fixedly at the figures now walking out from the outer void.
"Hmm?
Something seems off.
This world is frighteningly quiet.
Furthermore, all the beings here are incredibly weak, even including ordinary mortals who haven't cultivated at all!"
The sensory abilities of the three Mystic Immortals were extremely keen. As soon as they entered, they immediately sensed that something was amiss.
"It seems the Miao Tribe members learned in advance and found a place to hide!
Everyone, spread out and search!"
One of the Mystic Immortals waved his hand and shouted loudly.
Swoosh, swoosh…
The group divided into over a dozen smaller teams, charging off in different directions to begin scouring the world.
The three Mystic Immortals acted alone, striding forward.
Within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, the Vermilion Bird Realm was considered a relatively high-quality world, having undergone several upgrades. Therefore, even Mystic Immortal-level experts entering did not provoke rejection from the world's will, nor did they disturb the Primordial Accord.
Swoosh!
The three Mystic Immortals moved with terrifying speed, akin to fleeting light and shadows, instantly crossing vast distances while releasing their Soul Power to sense the entire world.
However, due to Ye Yunfei employing the Shadow Seclusion technique and borrowing some of the concepts from the Time-Space Annihilation Art, the three Mystic Immortals were unable to detect his presence.
"Something is definitely wrong!
What I can sense within this world are mostly mortals who haven't cultivated at all!"
Moments later, one Mystic Immortal frowned and said.
"Be patient.
I suspect they most likely found a place to hide.
Before us, the people of this world cannot hide forever."
Another Mystic Immortal said.
"Two Initial-stage Mystic Immortals and one Intermediate-stage Mystic Immortal. Heh heh, very good. I'll make sure you never make it back!"
Ye Yunfei stared coldly at the three Mystic Immortals from a distance, killing intent surfacing in his eyes.
Given Ye Yunfei's current comprehensive strength, killing these three Mystic Immortals would be an exceedingly easy task.
"I wonder, with my current strength, can I utilize the arrows of the second level of the Soul-Locking Bow?"
Ye Yunfei retrieved a bow and arrow, muttering to himself.
Ye Yunfei forcefully drew the longbow, and three long arrows simultaneously appeared on the bowstring.
"Still the arrows of the first level.
It seems with my current strength, I still cannot use the second-level arrows of the Soul-Locking Bow."
Ye Yunfei smiled wryly.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Ye Yunfei abruptly released the string. Three long arrows whistled as they shot forth, directly diving into the space before him and vanishing.
The next moment.
"Who is it?!"
The three Mystic Immortals simultaneously sensed immense danger approaching and roared in fury.
It must be said, the perception of Mystic Immortals was indeed quite sharp.
As the three Mystic Immortals roared, three long arrows carrying terrifying energy appeared behind their heads, abruptly striking towards their skulls.
Thump! Thump!
The two Initial-stage Mystic Immortals sensed something amiss behind their heads and tried to evade and counterattack, but it was already too late. Two arrows directly pierced through their skulls, causing them to perish on the spot.
The Intermediate-stage Mystic Immortal reacted relatively faster. Sensing the abnormality at the back of his head, he threw a punch backwards.
Simultaneously, several soul-type magic treasures shot out from within his head, attempting to block the incoming arrow.
But it was useless.
With a loud bang, the Intermediate Mystic Immortal's fist was shattered by the arrow. The soul-type magic treasures offered virtually no resistance, all being sent flying.
Then, this Intermediate Mystic Immortal's head was shattered by the arrow, and he perished on the spot.
"Not bad.
The power seems to have increased quite a bit compared to last time."
Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
Even though he still couldn't use the second level of the Soul-Locking Bow, the power of the three arrows from the first level had clearly grown significantly!
One arrow shot to kill an Intermediate Mystic Immortal!
Clang, clang…
Next, Ye Yunfei continuously drew the bowstring, shooting out the three arrows in a cycle.
Every arrow was guaranteed to kill someone.
Sometimes, one arrow could even kill several people.
After these three arrows killed their targets, they would automatically track the aura of the Soul-Locking Bow and return to their master's hand by themselves, requiring no further attention and could be used repeatedly infinitely.
Moments later, every person brought in by those three Mystic Immortals had been slain by Ye Yunfei!
"What's going on?
It seems all our people are dead!"
At this moment, outside the Vermilion Bird Realm, Elder Hong had already sensed that something was wrong. His face turned gloomy as he spoke.
