"That direction!
Quick, chase after them!"
A short while later, Ye Yunfei teleported and appeared in another stretch of starry space ahead. The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm pointed to a direction again and spoke to Ye Yunfei.
*Whoosh!*
Without hesitation, Ye Yunfei activated the Space Teleportation Token and teleported forward once more.
Not long after.
"Up ahead seems to be the territory of the Qiantang Empire, the Qiantang Great World!"
Old Man Ning, who was within the Phantom Tower, suddenly spoke up. Ye Yunfei had not blocked his perception.
"Indeed, just ahead is the Qiantang Great World!"
Ye Yunfei came to a halt, his expression extremely grim.
The Qiantang Great World was the headquarters of the Qiantang Empire, a vast world by any measure. Rumor had it it was filled with experts and tightly guarded.
"It seems those six Perfected True Immortals have entered the Qiantang Great World," Ye Yunfei muttered to himself.
"I can sense they just entered. The aura they left behind is still very fresh, probably only moments ago!"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm cried out at this moment.
"Only moments ago!
If the people I'm looking for fall into the hands of an Earth Immortal, things will become difficult. As long as they are still with these Perfected True Immortals, I can subdue them all in one clash! Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, find a way to get me inside!"
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said.
His family, clan, sect, and all those acquaintances he wished to protect could potentially be with those six Perfected True Immortals. No matter how dangerous this Qiantang Great World was, Ye Yunfei had no choice but to charge in and rescue them.
"Alright!"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm nodded.
Ye Yunfei immediately entered the Phantom Tower.
*Whoosh!*
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, carrying the Phantom Tower, transformed into a streak of golden light and dove directly into space, vanishing.
A short while later, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm had stealthily arrived before the gateway leading in and out of the Qiantang Great World.
A large contingent of soldiers clad in gleaming armor and holding spears that flashed cold light guarded the spot.
Moreover, over a dozen large-scale defensive formations had been set up, tightly sealing the gateway. One could only pass through with the permission of the soldiers guarding it.
Simultaneously, Ye Yunfei also detected five True Immortal experts concealed in space not far from this gateway, seated cross-legged in meditation, guarding this passage.
The defense of the Qiantang Empire was indeed extremely tight.
"So, can we get in?"
After clearly perceiving the situation, Ye Yunfei sent a voice transmission to the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
"A trivial matter," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm replied.
The next moment, mysterious runes shimmered forth from the golden dragon-like body of the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm. These mysterious runes covered its surface, causing its body to become illusory, flickering in and out, dreamlike and fantastical, utterly unreal.
In the end, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm's body became completely transparent, leaving only those mysterious runes behind.
At this point, even Ye Yunfei could not sense the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm's presence!
It was worth noting that Ye Yunfei's current Soul Power energy was equivalent to that of an Earth Immortal. This meant that even if an Earth Immortal came here now, they would find it very difficult to sense the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm's existence.
"What incredibly advanced spatial secret art!" Ye Yunfei couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"This is the inherited secret art of the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm race. It is indeed exceptionally profound," Hun Lao also nodded in approval.
"Of course," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said quite smugly.
*Whoosh!*
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm shot directly towards the Qiantang Great World's gateway.
The defensive formations laid out there had no effect on it. It pierced through layer after layer without causing the slightest ripple.
In less than two breaths of time, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm had entered the Qiantang Great World without anyone being any the wiser!
"It really is a high-level world suited for cultivation!" Ye Yunfei could not help but sigh softly as he looked at the world before him.
The main part of this world was an incredibly vast continent stretching beyond sight. Dense energy permeated the skies above the continent, and the laws of the world had become almost tangible, like multi-colored rainbows floating high in the sky.
"Over there!"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm pointed to a location on the continent and said to Ye Yunfei.
By now, Ye Yunfei's Soul Power had also detected six familiar auras. They were precisely the auras of those six Perfected True Immortals.
"Finally found these six fellows!" Ye Yunfei could not help but feel overjoyed.
*Whoosh!*
Ye Yunfei activated the Space Teleportation Token and teleported directly toward that location.
As soon as he had entered this world, Ye Yunfei immediately used several high-level concealment secret arts to thoroughly mask his own aura.
The next moment, Ye Yunfei found himself in the air above a large city on the continent.
"Those six fellows are in that palace!"
Ye Yunfei's gaze fell upon an ancient palace at the center of the city.
"There are at least three Earth Immortal experts in this city!
It seems this city holds a very important position, to have three Earth Immortals stationed here for its defense."
Ye Yunfei sensed three exceptionally formidable auras deep underground beneath the city; they likely belonged to three Earth Immortals!
"Can't worry about that now!
I'll use lightning-fast means to locate those six!"
With a flash, Ye Yunfei arrived in front of the palace at the city center.
By now, Ye Yunfei's Soul Power had already locked onto the six figures inside this palace. They were indeed the six Perfected True Immortals he had been pursuing for so long!
"Hu Miao, immediately use your Illusion Art to drag all the living beings around this palace into a dream realm," Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and said to Hu Miao.
"Okay," Hu Miao nodded.
Then Hu Miao appeared and cast her Illusion Art. Countless, invisible illusion-type laws sprayed out like a torrential downpour towards the surroundings of the palace.
In the next instant, all living beings around the palace, including over a dozen guards stationed before the palace gates, all entered into a bewildering illusionary realm. They were lost in confusion, unaware of what was happening.
*Whoosh!*
Ye Yunfei led Hu Miao into the palace, charging through the entrance.
In the main hall of the palace at that moment, six Perfected True Immortals stood respectfully.
"I just received a message from General Ouyang. He will be emerging from seclusion soon, so we just need to wait a bit," one of the Perfected True Immortals said.
"It doesn't matter, we'll wait slowly.
Anyway, we've completed our mission. We've captured a group of Ye Yunfei's people and returned here. As long as we hand those people over to General Ouyang, we'll have nothing more to do," another Perfected True Immortal said.
The other Perfected True Immortals all nodded in agreement.
"Everyone, I've received General Ouyang's message. He's out of seclusion! He will be arriving here immediately!"
Just at that moment, the first Perfected True Immortal who had spoken earlier revealed a joyful expression and announced clearly.
The other Perfected True Immortals, upon hearing this, all straightened up abruptly, preparing to welcome General Ouyang.
General Ouyang was not only an Intermediate Earth Immortal but also a Grand General of the Qiantang Empire's royal family. He commanded countless troops, held a high position with significant power, and was renowned throughout the Main World.
Right at that moment.
*Whoosh!*
Ye Yunfei had already charged into the palace hall, spotting the six Perfected True Immortals standing solemnly.
"Not good! An Earth Immortal is heading this way and is about to arrive!"
Before Ye Yunfei could make a move, Hun Lao urgently spoke up.
"Hu Miao, immediately pull all six of these fellows into an illusion," Ye Yunfei said to Hu Miao.
"Yes, Master," Hu Miao nodded and immediately cast her Illusion Art.
"Kid, who are you?"
At that moment, the six Perfected True Immortals also saw Ye Yunfei, each and every one of them shocked and pale.
In the next moment, Hu Miao's Illusion Art took effect. The six Perfected True Immortals simultaneously fell into a dream realm.
The Illusion Art Hu Miao could now cast was effective even against Earth Immortal experts, let alone these mere True Immortals. They had no power to resist.
With a flick of his sleeve, Ye Yunfei sealed all six Perfected True Immortals and then teleported them into the Phantom Tower.
"What's going on!?"
By this time, a tall, imposing, and formidable Grand General clad in sturdy armor had arrived outside the palace. At a single glance, he saw that something was amiss and couldn't help but roar in fury.
*Whoosh!*
This General used an extremely advanced traversal body technique, charging into the palace hall in an instant.
*Whoosh!*
At almost the same moment, Ye Yunfei activated the Space Teleportation Token and teleported away from the hall.
"Damn it!
I saw him! There was someone who teleported away!
And my six subordinates who were just waiting for me are all gone! Just what is going on!?"
The General bellowed.
"Time Tracing Art!"
The General waved a hand, performing a profound time-space tracing secret art.
Scenes began to unfold one after another.
They were events that occurred in this palace just before the General arrived.
"A woman used an illusion art, confusing all six of my subordinates! Then, a young man took all six of my subordinates away!
How outrageous! This is the territory of the Qiantang Empire! How dare someone come here to cause trouble! Who was it!?"
Seeing those scenes, the General roared with rage.
"This fellow looks a bit like Ye Yunfei!
Could it be that Ye Yunfei is so audacious as to dare intrude into our Qiantang Great World?"
Suddenly, the General's gaze fixed intently on Ye Yunfei's figure within those scenes, and he spoke coldly.
He recognized Ye Yunfei!
"Yes, most likely it was that kid Ye Yunfei!
He came to rescue his people!
Well now! We were exactly trying to deal with him. Never expected him to come running into our Qiantang Great World himself!
Ye Yunfei, since you've come, you absolutely will not escape! I will definitely find you!"
The General's eyes flashed coldly like lightning as he spoke through gritted teeth.
*Boom…*
The General rushed out of the palace and sent his Soul Power far out, sensing for Ye Yunfei's presence.
At the same time, within this Qiantang Great World, many experts received messages informing them that Ye Yunfei had already arrived in the Qiantang Great World!
One after another, experts rushed out from their secluded cultivation chambers and, following the aura left by the General, began searching the entire world for traces of Ye Yunfei.
Simultaneously, two Intermediate Earth Immortals arrived at the world's entrance and exit gateway to prevent Ye Yunfei from escaping from there!
