"Since you can make it here, you should already know that a Poison King has secluded himself in this place. He is skilled in raising gu and using poison. He often goes out into the Colorless Abyss to capture other beings, brings them back here as cultivation resources. Many of our Light Faction experts who were in seclusion within the Colorless Abyss were captured by him and brought here."
Di Ming explained.
"Alright. Since we're here, we'll rescue them."
Ye Yunfei thought it over and nodded.
After all, he was also a member of the Light Faction. Encountering such a situation obliged him to lend a hand.
"Elder Di, these pills are for detoxification, healing wounds, and replenishing energy. Take them."
Ye Yunfei took out several jade medicine bottles and handed them all to Di Ming.
"Good. Now, I'll point out the Light Faction members. We must save them quickly!"
Di Ming said.
He could vaguely hear the intense sounds of fighting coming from outside, assuming that Ye Yunfei had many companions out there battling the Five Immortals Poison King.
"Agreed!"
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Di Ming immediately swallowed the contents of those bottles while rapidly pointing out the Light Faction members imprisoned inside this great mountain.
The Doppelganger Statue, meanwhile, brandished its Earth Immortal-grade longsword, activated the Space-Time Illusion Annihilation technique, and continuously sliced through the spider silk binding the Light Faction members, rescuing them and teleporting them into the Phantom Pagoda.
Ye Yunfei had specially tasked this Doppelganger Statue with carrying the Phantom Pagoda to perform the rescue.
Since the spiders inside the mountain had already been suppressed by the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm's racial secret technique, remaining completely motionless, Ye Yunfei's rescue operation proceeded very smoothly without any hindrance.
As for the Five Immortals Poison King, his greatest concern was still the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm!
The creatures suspended upside down inside the five mountains were cultivation resources he had captured. While important, they were far less valuable than the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm. At worst, he could just go out and capture a new batch later.
A moment later, all the Light Faction members inside this mountain had been rescued—over seventy in total, with nearly half being Earth Immortal experts!
"Let's go. We'll save people inside the other four mountains!"
Ye Yunfei said.
Simultaneously, Ye Yunfei sent a voice transmission, instructing the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm to prepare to assist in dealing with the poisonous spiders inside the next mountain.
"Kid, since you dare to provoke me, you're dead!"
At this moment, the roar of the Five Immortals Poison King rang out from outside.
He commanded the Boundary-Breaker Insects to break through a batch of Formations Ye Yunfei had just deployed. Then, the Boundary-Breaker Insects split into two groups, charging towards Ye Yunfei and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm respectively.
These Boundary-Breaker Insects were terrifyingly powerful. Wherever they went, they devoured everything rapidly.
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm immediately commanded a batch of poisonous insects to block its front, engaging the Boundary-Breaker Insects in fierce combat. However, ordinary poisonous insects were no match for the Boundary-Breaker Insects, and a batch was instantly annihilated.
Ye Yunfei waved his hand, tossing out a large number of magical treasures. They were all activated instantly and blasted towards the Boundary-Breaker Insects.
"Go, kill this kid!"
the Five Immortals Poison King bellowed, commanding the dozens of crocodiles to charge at Ye Yunfei.
The combat power of these dozens of crocodiles in their frenzied state had noticeably increased by a large margin. They were in a life-risking state, crushing space wherever they went.
Moreover, their bodies continuously released endless black poisonous mist, spreading with waves of foul, fishy wind.
Ye Yunfei stomped his foot, activating the Blood-Soaked Dragon Lair Forbidden Ground, and condensed hundreds of red fire dragons to block his front. Then, he deployed several dozen Formations as additional barriers.
"Luckily, I prepared a Forbidden Ground beforehand. It's greatly restraining this Five Immortals Poison King's combat power."
Ye Yunfei thought to himself, somewhat alarmed, as he saw the Poison King charge forward again, tearing apart all the red fire dragons blocking his path in just a few moves.
However, within the range of the Forbidden Ground, those red fire dragons could be reborn an unlimited number of times. This was Ye Yunfei's confidence.
After being torn apart, under Ye Yunfei's urging, the red fire dragons were reborn almost instantly and surged towards the Five Immortals Poison King again, slowing his advance.
Coupled with the dozens of Formations, the Poison King was temporarily unable to get close to Ye Yunfei.
"Focus on dealing with that Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm!"
Suddenly, the Five Immortals Poison King changed tactics, locking onto the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm. With a wave of his hand, he commanded the dozens of crocodiles to turn around and surround the Silkworm.
By now, this stretch of the world was completely shrouded in a vast, dense black poisonous mist. The overwhelming poison had permeated every corner.
Ye Yunfei, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, and Huang Shang's bodies were all submerged in the poisonous fog.
Ye Yunfei vaguely felt a sense of dizziness and couldn't help but be secretly startled.
This Five Immortals Poison King was not only skilled at taming poisonous creatures but also adept at using poison himself. He was extremely troublesome, no wonder he had captured and imprisoned a large batch of Earth Immortal experts within those five mountains.
"Be careful. This poisonous mist not only invades the physical body but also poses a great danger to the Soul Body. Don't let your Soul Body get contaminated!"
Huang Shang sent a voice transmission to Ye Yunfei and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
"This old fellow seems to want to focus on dealing with me now!"
the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm cried out.
At this moment, the Five Immortals Poison King, the dozens of crocodiles, the black-armored insects, and a large batch of non-insectoid poisonous creatures all turned towards the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, encircling it and ignoring Ye Yunfei.
"Don't be afraid. I'll definitely fight by your side!"
Ye Yunfei shouted. He immediately activated the Transform into Qi secret art from the Earth Progression Technique, merging directly into the earth's energy. In an instant, he arrived beside the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm. With a wave of his hand, he deployed dozens of Formations to protect the Silkworm.
Formations were also one of Ye Yunfei's greatest trump cards!
"Damn it! How can this kid, so young, have such a high level of mastery with Formations! With him constantly deploying so many Formations like this, when will this battle ever end!"
The Five Immortals Poison King's face twisted in anger at the sight.
If it weren't for the Forbidden Ground and Formations Ye Yunfei had set up, he was confident he would have won long ago, killing Ye Yunfei and capturing the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm!
Of course, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm controlling a large batch of poisonous insects had also weakened him...
"Kid, very good. I never thought you'd force me to this extent! Very good, hehe…"
The Five Immortals Poison King suddenly emitted an ominous, cold laugh.
"Not good! This guy seems to still have a trump card. It looks like he's about to unleash his ultimate move!"
the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said, seeing the Poison King's eerie smile and suddenly getting a bad feeling.
Ye Yunfei focused his mind, urging the three Doppelganger Statues he had already sent out to speed up the rescue.
By now, the Light Faction members inside two mountains had been completely rescued and teleported into the Phantom Pagoda.
Upon receiving Ye Yunfei's command, the three Doppelganger Statues, each accompanied by a few Light Faction members, charged towards the remaining three mountains.
The Five Immortals Poison King had actually noticed quite early that many of the creatures he had imprisoned were being rescued. But he didn't care. What he truly cared most about was still the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm!
"I think it's best we leave here quickly. This old fellow is too troublesome. He's the most formidable among all the Earth Immortal experts I've ever encountered! If he brings out an even more powerful trump card, I'm afraid we might not be his match."
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said to Ye Yunfei.
At this moment, Huang Shang was in the distance, hidden within space, performing a technique to refine and absorb the Gu poison.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Suddenly, five consecutive explosions sounded from a patch of swampland not far away. Then, Ye Yunfei and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm saw five short, stumpy figures charging out from the swamp.
Five children, pitch black all over!
They looked like three-year-old children, their bodies covered in strange, dark runes, with blood-red eyes. They looked utterly demonic.
"Hehe, kid, try my Gu-infested Children. Although they haven't been refined to absolute perfection yet, they should be more than enough to deal with you."
The Five Immortals Poison King sneered.
