A total of five experts from the Great Netherworld faced Ye Yunfei. Three were killed, and two escaped.
After dealing with these five Great Netherworld experts, the entire Underworld no longer held anyone capable of opposing him.
Ye Yunfei turned and arrived at the battlefield outside. At this point, the armies of the Underworld had already begun to lose ground, being beaten back step by step.
"Master, during the recent battle, another large army suddenly joined the fray to assist the Underworld," Hu Miao reported to Ye Yunfei. "However, this army's strength wasn't particularly high. Even when combined with the Underworld's forces, they were no match for us."
"I understand. That should be the army from the Netherworld. The Netherworld is inherently a part of the Underworld," Ye Yunfei nodded, his gaze sweeping across the battlefield until it landed on a strange creature radiating monstrous murderous aura.
This bizarre creature had a form resembling an exceedingly tall black ape, with a pair of black wings growing from its back. Its entire body exuded a sinister, chilling aura of slaughter, its face twisted in ferocious cruelty.
It was a Flying Sky Yin Monkey!
Flying Sky Yin Monkeys were precisely the native beings of the Netherworld!
Following this, Ye Yunfei spotted even more Flying Sky Yin Monkeys flitting back and forth across the battlefield, engaging the armies of the Dark Faction.
Ye Yunfei's eyes scanned the battlefield briefly, but he did not find the Sage Son of the Flying Sky Yin Monkey tribe that he had subdued in the past.
"Perhaps that Sage Son's status is too noble to participate in this battle," Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
Despite the Netherworld dispatching troops to assist, the Underworld side was still losing in this conflict.
This was because Ye Yunfei's side had far too many powerful experts. Huang Shang, Hu Miao, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, the Blood Clan Clone, Dugu Huan, Da Bing—any one of them could be considered an expert of Golden Immortal level, and each possessed formidable combat prowess.
Especially Huang Shang, the Blood Clan Clone, and Dugu Huan, whose actual combat strength had already reached the Perfected Golden Immortal level!
Furthermore, the Nine Divine Beasts of the Nine Palaces Totem Wheel also participated in the fight. A while back, Ye Yunfei had had them refine massive quantities of cultivation resources. Now, the combat power these Nine Divine Beasts commanded was equivalent to nine Golden Immortal experts!
With such overall strength, they were more than enough to completely overwhelm the armies of both the Underworld and the Netherworld!
Ye Yunfei observed the battlefield for a moment before suddenly appearing directly in front of one of the Flying Sky Yin Monkeys. This monkey was currently locked in combat with a Dark Faction expert, the two sides fighting to a standstill.
"You're looking for death, kid!"
This Flying Sky Yin Monkey, completely engrossed in the fight, suddenly saw a young human appear before it and immediately flew into a rage, directly thrusting out a sharp, clawed hand to grab at Ye Yunfei.
For a moment, this monkey did not recognize that the young man before him was the famous Ye Yunfei!
"Be careful! That is Ye Yunfei!"
Another Flying Sky Yin Monkey in the distance, who looked somewhat older, shouted out a warning.
Upon hearing this, the monkey attacking Ye Yunfei immediately paled with fright. He wanted to retract his attack, but it was already too late.
Ye Yunfei casually extended a hand, lightning-fast, and seized the Yin Monkey's clawed fist.
A terrifying surge of raw physical power directly suppressed the creature, rendering it immobile.
"I have some questions for you. Answer them truthfully," Ye Yunfei said coldly, his gaze fixed on the terrified monkey.
"Wh-what do you want to ask..."
The Flying Sky Yin Monkey stammered in panic, knowing that Ye Yunfei's strength far surpassed his own. Ye Yunfei could likely kill him with a mere thought.
"Do you recognize him?" Ye Yunfei waved a hand, projecting an illusion of another Flying Sky Yin Monkey before him. It was the Sage Son of the Flying Sky Yin Monkey tribe whom Ye Yunfei had subdued before.
"He is one of the Ten Great Sage Sons of our tribe. How do you know him?" the captured monkey asked, somewhat surprised.
"Where is he now?" Ye Yunfei asked.
This Sage Son had already been enslaved by Ye Yunfei previously. Ye Yunfei had ordered him to return to the Netherworld to lie low, intending to summon him later if needed. As Ye Yunfei's subordinate, he wanted to know his current status.
"He... he is in our Netherworld, but... he has been imprisoned in the great dungeons," the Yin Monkey replied.
"He holds the status of a Sage Son. His position should be esteemed. Why would he be imprisoned?" Ye Yunfei found this strange.
"That... it's mainly because he committed an offense. By order of the Nether King, he was locked up," the Yin Monkey hesitated before answering.
"Committed an offense..."
Seeing the complicated expression on the monkey's face, Ye Yunfei immediately sensed there was more to the story.
"My people cannot be captured arbitrarily, even if they commit an offense. Since we've come to the Underworld, I might as well take a trip to the Netherworld to see for myself," Ye Yunfei mused aloud after a moment's thought.
At this time, the battle was nearing its conclusion. The armies of the Underworld and Netherworld were beginning to rout, with large numbers of broken, fleeing troops scattering everywhere. Even some higher-ups were quietly slipping away from the battlefield.
The leaders of the Underworld and Netherworld knew that with Ye Yunfei personally holding the line here, defeat for them was inevitable.
After all, Ye Yunfei alone could single-handedly challenge both the Underworld and the Netherworld!
Thus, from the very start of this battle, the higher-ups of these two realms had already lost heart.
"The Lord of the Underworld actually managed to escape unnoticed," Ye Yunfei extended his Soul Power to search, realizing the Underworld Lord had vanished. He felt a tinge of regret.
Lü Dandan led the Dark Faction army in pursuit of the fleeing Underworld forces. The Corpse World of the Primordial Continent, affiliated with the Underworld in the past, had caused Lü Dandan much suffering. She now settled that score squarely on the Underworld itself. Having come specifically for reckoning, she had no intention of letting the Underworld army off easily.
"Let's go. Take me to your Netherworld for a look," Ye Yunfei released his grip on the Flying Sky Yin Monkey and commanded coldly.
"Don't think about running. You have no right or capability to escape before me," he warned.
"Please follow me."
The Yin Monkey knew escape was impossible before Ye Yunfei, so he resigned himself to reality and obediently led the way.
The Flying Sky Yin Monkey took to the air, heading back towards the Netherworld. Ye Yunfei followed at a steady, unhurried pace.
"Master, you go on ahead to the Netherworld. I plan to go to the Underworld headquarters to see if there's anything valuable," Hu Miao said to Ye Yunfei.
With the Underworld defeated, Hu Miao wanted to seize the opportunity for some plunder.
"Excellent! You reminded me! The Underworld is a major power. It must have plenty of treasures!"
Hearing Hu Miao's words from the side, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm's eyes lit up. He immediately transformed into a streak of golden light, darting ahead towards the Underworld's headquarters.
A slight smile touched Ye Yunfei's lips as he dispatched his Blood Clan Clone to follow behind Hu Miao and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
Ye Yunfei, following the Yin Monkey guide, soon arrived before a spatial portal.
"Passing through this portal will lead us to our Netherworld," the Yin Monkey explained to Ye Yunfei.
Hoping Ye Yunfei might spare his life in the end, his attitude was quite cooperative.
Ye Yunfei followed the Yin Monkey through the spatial portal and emerged into a world suffused with overwhelming slaughterous aura.
This was precisely the Netherworld!
