"Great Master Jinlun, I've heard that Ye Yunfei kid is skilled in movement techniques and seems to possess a traversal treasure. If he senses something is wrong, I'm afraid he'll immediately warp away from our Qiantang Great World."
Another elder in official robes spoke up.
"Humph! The space within our Qiantang Great World is reinforced by the aura of the Son of Heaven! He'll find it impossible to warp out!"
Upon hearing this, Jinlun Great Master snorted coldly and said.
He then pointed a finger at the altar in front of him and began casting a spell.
Boom!
Beneath the imperial city of the Qiantang Empire, a colossal Five-Clawed Golden Dragon coiled upwards into the sky. It stretched across the firmament, its immense body unfathomably long. Magnificent golden mist emanated from the dragon's body, drilling deep into the fabric of space to reinforce the realm barrier.
"This golden dragon represents the imperial fortune of our Qiantang Empire, and also embodies the will of our entire Qiantang Great World! That kid wants to warp away? It won't be so easy!"
Jinlun Great Master sneered coldly.
"Excellent!"
The three elders in official robes watched the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon circling above the imperial city, their faces filled with excitement.
This golden dragon symbolized imperial fortune—it was one of the deep-seated foundations of the Qiantang Empire!
At the same time...
"Let's use the Space Teleportation Token to warp out."
At this moment, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm was carrying the Phantom Tower as it swiftly navigated through the space of the Qiantang Great World. Ye Yunfei suddenly emerged from the Phantom Tower, took out the Space Teleportation Token, and spoke.
"Fine. Saves me some effort."
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm landed on Ye Yunfei's shoulder.
Boom!
The Space Teleportation Token erupted with powerful teleportation energy, attempting to carry Ye Yunfei away.
But vast amounts of golden mist immediately appeared in the surrounding space, transforming into golden nets that began moving towards Ye Yunfei's location from all directions, like a tightly sealed iron cage trapping him in the center.
Ye Yunfei discovered that the Space Teleportation Token could no longer tear through space to take him away.
"How can this be?"
Ye Yunfei was somewhat surprised.
"The space in this world has been reinforced!"
Hun Lao sensed the surrounding space and discovered that the golden nets formed from the golden mist had the effect of reinforcing it.
Ye Yunfei then attempted several more times in succession, but the Space Teleportation Token still couldn't initiate a teleportation.
"This Qiantang Empire truly has some substantial foundation! The space of this world is too sturdy—it's practically as solid as an iron plate!"
Hun Lao couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"In that case, we can only rush out from one of this world's entry and exit portals! Leave it to me!"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said.
"That's the only way."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Thus, Ye Yunfei returned to the Phantom Tower, and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm carried it as it rushed towards the world's exit portal.
"We're almost at the world's exit portal! However, I sense several Earth Immortal auras guarding it!"
Soon after, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm had approached the world's exit and reported to Ye Yunfei.
"There are four Earth Immortals guarding it. I'm afraid trying to force our way out would be extremely difficult!"
Before Ye Yunfei could even respond, Hun Lao cried out.
"Yes, there are three Intermediate Earth Immortals and one Advanced Earth Immortal guarding it!"
At this moment, Ye Yunfei's Soul Power also sensed this, and he couldn't help but frown.
To prevent Ye Yunfei from escaping, the Qiantang Empire had dispatched four powerful Earth Immortals to guard the world's exit portal—they were clearly treating him with great seriousness.
No wonder. Ye Yunfei's performance during the battle in Samsara Palace had left too deep an impression on these major powers, especially those Earth Immortals who now completely regarded Ye Yunfei as an opponent of their own level!
Some Earth Immortals of the Qiantang Empire even strongly wished to personally test Ye Yunfei's strength. If they could capture this young man who had shaken the Main World, it would surely be a sensational event.
Thus, the Earth Immortals within the Qiantang Empire had all unleashed their Soul Power, searching for any trace of Ye Yunfei throughout the entire world.
At the world's exit portal, a total of four Earth Immortal experts sat cross-legged in a row. The oppressive energy radiating from them caused the surrounding space to tremble and sway, as if unable to bear the pressure.
Apart from these four Earth Immortal experts, there were also dozens of True Immortals and a large number of fully armed soldiers patrolling back and forth.
In short, the defenses were extremely tight.
"What should we do? Force our way through?"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm stopped and asked Ye Yunfei.
"One Advanced Earth Immortal and three Intermediate Earth Immortals—we cannot fight our way out. Moreover, the moment we reveal ourselves, we'll immediately attract even more Earth Immortals."
Ye Yunfei frowned as he spoke.
Faced with an Advanced Earth Immortal and three Intermediate Earth Immortals, Ye Yunfei understood that while he could retreat unscathed, forcefully fighting his way out would be quite difficult.
Ye Yunfei had already discovered that at the exit portal, two illusory Five-Clawed Golden Dragons were coiled on guard. Once he got close, they would most likely detect him. So, the possibility of slipping out unnoticed through the world's exit portal seemed very low.
"We can't teleport, and the world's exit is blocked. Now there's only one last method left. We need to see if we can shatter this world's World Protecting City, then penetrate through it to escape."
Hun Lao opened his mouth and said.
"The quality of this world should be quite high. I wonder how hard its World Protecting City is."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yunfei's heart stirred.
"Let's go, find a remote place and test it!"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said.
Thus, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm turned and headed in another direction.
Several illusory Five-Clawed Golden Dragons distantly followed behind the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, tracing its path along faint traces of aura.
Soon after, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm arrived at a remote location, penetrated deep into space, and came before a section of the World Protecting City.
"We should be able to break through this part of the World Protecting City and cross out from here!"
After sensing for a moment, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm declared.
Right at this moment, an illusory Five-Clawed Golden Dragon appeared not far away, locking its gaze on the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
"Not good, we've been discovered!"
Hun Lao warned.
"This Qiantang Empire isn't simple. They must have mastered an extremely profound tracking secret technique. Even the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm race's concealment art couldn't avoid being tracked!"
Hun Lao said in astonishment.
"Don't be afraid, let's hurry and break through this section of the World Protecting City!"
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said, unleashing all its spatial energy to bombard the World Protecting City ahead.
"I'll help too!"
Hun Lao also appeared and began attacking the World Protecting City in front.
At this time, within that palace in the Qiantang Empire's imperial city.
"I've roughly determined that kid's current location! He's trying to break through the World Protecting City, then force his way out. This kid really has some nerve! Immediately send experts to deal with him!"
Jinlun Great Master declared.
"Let the two of us handle this. If we can capture Ye Yunfei, we can use him to threaten Su Qingluo."
One of the elders said.
After speaking, this elder and another elder turned, stepped forward, and vanished.
"Trying to break our world's World Protecting City? An impossibility!"
Jinlun Great Master sneered coldly, sat cross-legged beneath the altar, and began casting a spell.
Boom!
As Jinlun Great Master cast his spell, the golden dragon coiled above the imperial city gently swayed, releasing rolling golden radiance. Countless golden laws continuously drilled into the surrounding space, reinforcing this world's World Protecting City.
At the same time, within the Qiantang Great World, a large number of powerhouses began converging on Ye Yunfei's location.
Ye Yunfei, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, and Hun Lao—the three of them were currently attacking the World Protecting City ahead.
"This world's World Protecting City is truly tough!"
Soon after, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm began complaining again.
Although the three of them were attacking with full force, the results weren't very pronounced. The World Protecting City ahead was too resilient—only some dents appeared on its surface, with minimal damage inflicted.
Boom! Boom!
In the distance, figures radiating powerful energy auras were surging towards them.
At least four or five Earth Immortals were rushing over at full speed.
"Let's take cover for now."
Sensing the energy auras of those Earth Immortals, Ye Yunfei noticed there were Primary, Intermediate, and Advanced Earth Immortals among them. He let out a light sigh and said.
"We've underestimated this Qiantang Empire."
Hun Lao said.
"Yes. Each of these major powers from the Main World is far from simple. With my current strength, trying to single-handedly challenge these Main World powers still seems... insufficient."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
