Ye Yunfei discovered that the energy aura within the Netherworld was slightly different from that of the underworld palace. The underworld palace was saturated with thick death energy, while the Netherworld contained vast quantities of baleful energy and Yin Qi.
As soon as Ye Yunfei stepped into the Netherworld, he saw numerous bizarre creatures brimming with ferocious auras.
There were green one-eyed wolves with a single eye on their heads, pitch-black double-headed dogs as dark as thick ink, crocodiles with a pair of rotten wings...
Ye Yunfei’s Soul Power energy extended far out, sensing that such bizarre races were everywhere in the Netherworld. Most of them looked nauseating.
"Many powerful races inhabit the Netherworld. Our Flying Sky Yin Monkey tribe is just one of them," the guiding Flying Sky Yin Monkey spoke up, seeing Ye Yunfei observing this world.
"Powerful, you say?"
Ye Yunfei let out a cold laugh, a look of disdain on his face.
These bizarre races of this world were indeed strange and terrifying to ordinary beings, but they were nothing to Ye Yunfei.
Even experts from the Great Netherworld had been defeated by him. What were a few strange creatures from the Netherworld in comparison?
Hearing Ye Yunfei’s words, the Flying Sky Yin Monkey dared not say another word.
He knew that these so-called powerful races of the Netherworld simply couldn’t intimidate Ye Yunfei.
The Flying Sky Yin Monkey led Ye Yunfei, traveling high in the sky of the Netherworld. In this world, endless waves of baleful energy and Yin Qi roared in from all directions, unceasingly. This energy could corrode both the physical flesh of living beings and their Soul Bodies. An ordinary being entering this Netherworld would easily be frozen stiff by it.
However, Ye Yunfei’s physical body was now equivalent to a perfected Golden Immortal-grade treasure, impossibly sturdy. To him, the baleful energy and Yin Qi were nothing more than light breezes on his face, incapable of causing any harm.
"How is there a human here?"
At this moment, many creatures in this world noticed Ye Yunfei. Brutal, vicious gazes converged upon him, sizing him up.
"Forget it. It’s the business of the Flying Sky Yin Monkey tribe. Let’s stay out of it."
However, seeing a Flying Sky Yin Monkey guiding Ye Yunfei, they chose not to approach and cause trouble.
It was clear that the Flying Sky Yin Monkey tribe held a decent status in the Netherworld, as other races were unwilling to provoke them casually.
A short while later, led by the Flying Sky Yin Monkey, they descended into a vast and boundless region of primitive mountain ridges.
From a distance, all the vegetation blanketing this land emitted dense baleful energy and frigid icy aura. Visible waves of the foul and icy mist formed churning clouds of fog.
"This is the territory of our Flying Sky Yin Monkey tribe. In the Netherworld, territories of all races are assigned by the Netherworld Sovereign," the Flying Sky Yin Monkey said to Ye Yunfei after landing upon this vast land seething with baleful energy.
"Enough talk. Just take me directly to see the Holy Son," Ye Yunfei said coldly.
"To see the Seventh Holy Son directly?"
The Flying Sky Yin Monkey was taken aback.
"The Seventh Holy Son was imprisoned in the Heaven-Suppressing Prison on the Patriarch's personal orders. That prison is a forbidden area of our tribe, typically used to hold tribesmen who have committed heavy crimes. Ordinary members of the tribe are forbidden to approach it without the Patriarch's permission," the Flying Sky Yin Monkey explained.
"If you wish to live, take me there."
Ye Yunfei's voice turned icy as he released a surge of powerful Immortal Force energy, instantly suppressing the Flying Sky Yin Monkey until it almost crumpled to the ground.
"Don’t kill me! I’ll lead you!"
Sensing the threat of death, the Flying Sky Yin Monkey spoke hurriedly in panic.
"Lead the way."
Ye Yunfei withdrew the oppressive pressure of his Immortal Force and spoke lightly.
The Flying Sky Yin Monkey dared not protest further and obediently led the way ahead, taking Ye Yunfei deeper into this territory.
Along the way, they encountered many other Flying Sky Yin Monkeys, who all greeted their guide. It was evident that this Flying Sky Yin Monkey guiding Ye Yunfei held a status far from ordinary.
Soon after, a tall mountain shrouded in dense Yin-cold aura appeared ahead. Baleful energy roiled, and many totems of the Flying Sky Yin Monkey tribe were carved upon it.
"The prison lies beneath this great mountain. This mountain is usually also the place where our Flying Sky Yin Monkey tribe holds important meetings. It is a Forbidden Land of our tribe," the Flying Sky Yin Monkey told Ye Yunfei.
"It seems your tribe has quite a few higher-ups currently in that palace."
Ye Yunfei pointed at a palace on the mountainside and spoke.
"It’s likely the Patriarch summoning our tribe’s Elders for a meeting. Word must have come back from the outside concerning the events at the underworld palace, so the Patriarch and the Elders are discussing how to proceed," the Flying Sky Yin Monkey hesitated briefly before answering.
Ye Yunfei and Lü Dandan had invaded the underworld palace and dealt a major defeat to the combined armies of the underworld palace and the Netherworld. Upon receiving this news, the Patriarch of the Flying Sky Yin Monkey tribe had immediately summoned the tribe’s Elders here for a meeting, not expecting Ye Yunfei to arrive as well.
"Just focus on guiding me directly to the prison to find the Seventh Holy Son," Ye Yunfei said calmly.
"As you wish."
The Flying Sky Yin Monkey did not dare resist and nodded obediently.
He understood that Ye Yunfei had already defeated even the joint armies of the underworld palace and the Netherworld. A mere Flying Sky Yin Monkey tribe would hold no fear for him.
Not to mention the Patriarch and Elders of the tribe, Ye Yunfei probably wouldn’t even flinch if the actual ruler of the Netherworld, the Netherworld Sovereign, were to come.
The Flying Sky Yin Monkey realized his only chance to survive was to obey Ye Yunfei’s orders.
Thus, the Flying Sky Yin Monkey brought Ye Yunfei to land at the foot of the great mountain and enter a long, narrow valley. They proceeded deep within until they arrived before a Black Great Door seething with freezing vapor.
"Halt! This is the Great Prison, a Forbidden Land of the tribe! None may approach without the permission of the Patriarch and the eight Elders! Commander Yin Hua, you should know the rules well!"
A small patrol squad of Flying Sky Yin Monkeys suddenly appeared, blocking Ye Yunfei and his guide. The leader of the squad spoke in a stern tone.
So, this Flying Sky Yin Monkey guiding Ye Yunfei was a commander, a middle-ranking leader within their tribe. However, this valley was a tribal Forbidden Land, and a middle-ranking commander did not have the qualification to enter.
"Scram!"
Ye Yunfei couldn’t be bothered with talk. With a sweep of his sleeve, he released a wave of powerful Immortal Force energy that swept forward like an autumn wind scattering fallen leaves, directly blasting the entire patrol squad away. He then strode toward the Black Great Door ahead.
*Boom! Boom! …*
Before Ye Yunfei could even get close, one array after another continuously materialized, radiating formidable formation energy to protect the black gate.
*Rumble…*
Ye Yunfei acted without preamble. With a wave of his hand, he instantly deployed several dozen formations and hurled them toward those protective arrays.
"What’s happening?"
"The commotion is coming from the direction of the Great Prison! Could someone be trying to escape?"
"No, I think there’s an outsider intruder!"
…
At this moment, within the palace upon the great mountain, the Patriarch of the Flying Sky Yin Monkey tribe and several Elders heard the noise. Sensing something amiss, they all rushed out, took to the skies, and charged toward the Great Prison.
Meanwhile, deep in the valley, Ye Yunfei had already forcibly smashed through all the Formations before the Black Great Door. He then stepped inside and soon arrived at a complex, multi-layered subterranean prison.
"He’s in that location."
Upon entering the prison, Ye Yunfei released his Soul Power energy and immediately pinpointed the location of the Seventh Holy Son. In a flash, he appeared inside one of the heavily fortified prison cells.
Inside this cell, a Flying Sky Yin Monkey with an extremely weak and feeble aura was imprisoned. Its body had been impaled by more than a dozen pitch-black chains and was suspended mid-air. Great quantities of black blood dripped down noisily. It was a pitiful sight.
"Master, you have come!"
As soon as Ye Yunfei stepped into the cell, the suspended Flying Sky Yin Monkey immediately reacted, lifting its head to look at him, a thrilled expression emerging on its face.
