"Kid, since you've laid hands on my people before, I'll start with you.
Be my eternal slave!"
At that moment, Granny Long suddenly appeared beside Ye Yunfei, laughing coldly.
Whoosh…
Dense Sleep Laws surged towards Ye Yunfei from all directions like a hurricane, instantly engulfing him.
Ye Yunfei immediately felt drowsiness wash over him, his head feeling heavy and his steps unsteady.
"Sleep, sleep well. After you wake up, obediently serve this Granny Long as her slave."
Granny Long's voice echoed, sounding hollow and ethereal, making Ye Yunfei feel as if someone was calling to him in a dream.
Rustle…
Within Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea, the Soul Tree shook continuously, its many branches, leaves, and roots stretching out to tightly protect the surrounding space.
Clang! Clang!
The Soul Sword also emanated streaks of sword light, fiercely protecting Ye Yunfei's other Soul Body.
Simultaneously, Ye Yunfei unleashed Mental Force energy to shield his Soul Sea, resisting the invasion of the surrounding Sleep Laws.
Yet, a portion of the Sleep Laws continuously seeped into Ye Yunfei's body, first filling his limbs and torso, then relentlessly flooding towards his Soul Sea.
Ye Yunfei felt waves of fatigue, his eyelids growing heavy.
It could only be said that Granny Long's power was terrifying. The Sleep Laws she unleashed were all-pervasive and immensely potent, beginning to overwhelm Ye Yunfei's resistance.
Against the Sleep Laws of the previous Dark Dream Demons, Ye Yunfei could resist using Mental Force. But facing Granny Long's attack, Ye Yunfei was unable to hold it back.
"Ye Yunfei, don't fall asleep! Once you fall asleep, this old witch can control your dreams, and then you'll be under her control!"
Hun Lao noticed Ye Yunfei's drowsiness intensifying and was shocked, shouting within Ye Yunfei's Soul Sea.
"Hey, you can't sleep! If you become that old witch's slave, you'll definitely give us away, then we'll be in trouble!"
Golden Horned Dragon Silkworm also yelled frantically.
"Master, stay awake!"
Hu Miao desperately unleashed Illusion Dao energy, trying to protect Ye Yunfei's two Soul Bodies.
"Let's attack together and help our master against the enemy!"
Over a dozen Heart-Devouring Demons inside the Phantom Tower spoke in unison. They then began to employ their clan's methods to influence Granny Long's emotions.
"Oh?
I truly never expected this human youngster to be accompanied by so many interesting little creatures. Very good, quite fitting for Granny Long's taste. I am very satisfied with you as a slave."
Feeling the collective attack from Hu Miao and the others, Granny Long was not alarmed; instead, she laughed.
However, right at that moment…
"Granny Long, stop. This ends here."
A voice rang out from afar.
"It's you!"
Hearing that voice, Granny Long abruptly turned around, looking into the distance. She saw a massive face, and her pupils constricted involuntarily.
"What do you mean?
I'm dealing with a few outsiders, what does that have to do with you?"
Granny Long wore an unhappy expression.
"Of course it concerns me. Either way, this ends here.
Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
The massive face said in a stern voice.
"You're clearly making trouble out of nothing! Do you truly think I fear you!"
Granny Long flew into a rage upon hearing this.
"I'll say it one last time, this ends here.
You better not force me to take action, or I would be more than happy to wipe out your entire clan, including you."
The massive face sounded a bit impatient.
"Do you have that capability?"
Granny Long roared angrily.
Rumble…
The massive face suddenly surged forward, opened its mouth wide, and inhaled. Its mouth continuously expanded, like a bottomless black hole, erupting with terrifyingly powerful devouring energy, seemingly wanting to swallow everything.
"Aah…"
"Granny Long, save me!"
…
The black shadows following Granny Long couldn't stand steady and were instantly pulled towards the terrifying suction.
"Looking for death!"
Enraged, Granny Long swung the staff in her hand, which continuously enlarged, smashing towards the massive face.
At the same time, a vast amount of black threads burst forth from Granny Long's aged body, like a torrential downpour of black rain.
Wherever these black threads passed, space directly shrank, decayed, then transformed into black mist, dissipating completely.
In the blink of an eye, numerous areas of space directly vanished.
"What's going on?"
At this moment, Ye Yunfei also sensed that something seemed to have changed, that some other unforeseen event had occurred.
However, Ye Yunfei still couldn't perceive his surroundings at this moment.
But he could vaguely hear sounds from around him now.
"Hehe…
Granny Long, I rarely take action, so you might have developed a misconception, believing you have the ability to fight me. Now, I'll let you see the gap between you and me."
The massive face sneered.
Rumble…
As it spoke, the mouth of the massive face opened even wider, like a bottomless abyss. The several black shadows that had been following Granny Long had already been pulled right before its mouth.
Granny Long manifested a huge black energy hand, trying to pull those black shadows back.
Splat…
The mouth of the massive face suddenly spat out a huge mouthful of saliva, like a torrent of foul, bloody water surging towards Granny Long.
Sizzle… Sizzle…
Wherever the saliva passed, everything was corroded with a sizzling sound, vanishing immediately.
The next moment, the massive face's mouth sucked in forcefully, devouring all the black threads unleashed by Granny Long.
"Aah…"
At this point, Granny Long suddenly let out a miserable scream. It turned out she had been stained by the saliva spat by the massive face, feeling intense pain.
"Consider yourself ruthless!"
Granny Long now understood that the power of the face before her was indeed stronger than her own. Continuing to fight would only bring her loss.
Scolding angrily, Granny Long turned and fled, vanishing into the distance in an instant.
"Know your place."
The massive face watched Granny Long flee in panic and sneered.
It did not pursue her relentlessly because its main goal was to save Ye Yunfei.
Although the power of this face was stronger than Granny Long's, eradicating her would likely take some time.
And there were other mysterious and terrifying existences within this dark region. If they were attracted here, the situation might become even more complicated.
Thus, the massive face did not chase after Granny Long.
After Granny Long left, the massive face gave a gentle exhale, stirring up a fierce gale.
The next moment, Ye Yunfei and the other four felt the suffocatingly oppressive, thick darkness begin to recede. Gradually, their senses started to return.
The five of them could see each other once more.
"What happened just now? Was it that old witch's doing?"
"Huh? That old witch, she seems to have disappeared."
Yan Xiaoquan, Wu Wang, Zhou Ye, and Wu Tianyu were all filled with shock and doubt.
Only Ye Yunfei had vaguely heard the conversation between the massive face and Granny Long earlier, knowing that a mysterious existence had appeared and saved them.
Naturally, Ye Yunfei didn't know that the mysterious existence was the same massive face he had seen not long ago.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Suddenly, numerous black shadows shot over from the distance, halting right before Ye Yunfei.
There were twelve black shadows in total!
"Careful, all of these are Dark Dream Demons!"
Yan Xiaoquan shouted.
Wu Wang, Zhou Ye, and Wu Tianyu also paled in fright, simultaneously preparing for battle.
"These Dark Dream Demons all seem to have been sealed."
Ye Yunfei spoke.
Ye Yunfei's current Soul Power energy had reached the Earth Immortal level, far surpassing that of Yan Xiaoquan and the other three.
"These Dark Dream Demons are extremely useful for cultivating the Illusion Dao, human youngster. If you have an interest in the Illusion Dao, you can refine and absorb them to aid your cultivation. It will undoubtedly allow you to achieve something in the Illusion Dao within a short time."
A voice sounded by Ye Yunfei's ear.
Ye Yunfei immediately recognized that this voice belonged to the same mysterious existence who had just chased away Granny Long and saved them.
"Many thanks, Senior!
May I ask Senior's esteemed name?
Could Senior show yourself?"
Hearing this voice, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but rejoice, immediately shouting out.
