You'd best not provoke me.
Ye Yunfei looked blandly at the two men before him.
Hahaha... Brat, what are you getting so cocky about in front of me, a mere Initial Golden Immortal? You're talking nonsense. You're already a dead man walking!
Let me tell you, there's no one our Black Wind Group doesn't dare to provoke! The Intermediate Golden Immortal laughed heartily.
Let's do it, capture this brat. Then we'll go help chase down those two little Xiao Family sluts. If we're too slow and the others catch them without us present, we won't get any credit! said the Initial Golden Immortal.
Fine. I'll capture this brat now! the Intermediate Golden Immortal nodded, then thrust his palm out to grab Ye Yunfei.
Boom...
A powerful pressure of energy rolled toward Ye Yunfei like crashing waves.
However, the energy of a mere Intermediate Golden Immortal was, to Ye Yunfei, like a light breeze brushing his face.
Ye Yunfei didn't dodge or avoid it, standing rooted in place. With a 'peng,' the Intermediate Golden Immortal's palm struck Ye Yunfei's body as if hitting a mountain forged of mysterious Xuanjin immortal iron, eliciting no reaction whatsoever.
How is that possible?
This Intermediate Golden Immortal had thought his palm strike would at least severely injure Ye Yunfei if it didn't crush him outright, but now there wasn't even a scratch.
With a thought, Ye Yunfei manifested Soul Swords that struck the Intermediate Golden Immortal's Soul Body. The man screamed, his body thrown backward, and died on the spot.
How is this possible? The other Initial Golden Immortal, both shocked and terrified at this sight, turned and fled.
He knew he was definitely no match for the young man before him.
But how would Ye Yunfei let him escape? His figure flickered, catching up to the fleeing Initial Golden Immortal in an instant. He grabbed and lifted him up.
Brat, what are you doing! Think carefully—I'm a member of the Black Wind Group! the Initial Golden Immortal cried out, both shocked and enraged.
Sorry, but I have no idea what the Black Wind Group even is, Ye Yunfei said impassively. Then his palm vibrated, directly shattering the Initial Golden Immortal's flesh body, leaving only a terrified Soul Body.
Alright, now you tell me, what exactly is the Black Wind Group? Ye Yunfei's indifferent gaze fell upon the Initial Golden Immortal's Soul Body.
Our Black Wind Group is a powerful collective that specializes in taking money to handle business for others. As long as the price is right, our Black Wind Group dares to do anything and kill anyone. Our five Group Leaders are all Peak Heavenly Immortals!
Young man, I advise you not to make an enemy of our Black Wind Group. While we don't have Semi-Deity level experts, our group is elusive and unpredictable. Outsiders have no idea where our headquarters is hidden. And if anyone provokes us, our Black Wind Group will pursue them relentlessly, fighting to the death.
So, ordinary people don't dare provoke us. Young man, if you release me now, there might still be a chance to smooth over this conflict between you and our Black Wind Group. Otherwise, sooner or later, our members will come looking for you to settle the score. The Initial Golden Immortal replied, his tone laced with obvious warning.
There are quite a few groups like this in the boundless Chaotic Void Sea. Put simply, they are forces formed by gangs of vicious bandits, robbing, pillaging, burning, killing, and looting everywhere, or taking money to carry out tasks and sell their services.
These guys operate by licking blood off the edge of a blade. Each one of them is ruthless in character, committing every wicked deed imaginable, steeped in sin and full of crimes, a Sound Transmission suddenly sounded within Ye Yunfei's sea of consciousness. It was the voice of the Remnant Soul he had brought out from the Samsara Passage.
I see.
What do I care about such groups? In short, if others don't provoke me, I don't provoke them. But if they provoke me, no matter their background, I won't let it go easily. Ye Yunfei, hearing this, nodded.
Then Ye Yunfei transmitted this Initial Golden Immortal's Soul Body into the Shadow Tower and imprisoned him there.
In the following period, Ye Yunfei continued traveling through the vast, bewildering Chaotic Void.
Since he still had ample time and was getting closer to the Tiange World Cluster, Ye Yunfei didn't rush. He didn't use a Space Teleportation Token to teleport, instead proceeding at a leisurely pace. If he encountered any World Clusters along the way, he would stop and explore for a day or two.
Without realizing it, a month had passed.
Slut, where do you think you're running!
One day, as Ye Yunfei was advancing through the Chaotic Void, he suddenly heard a loud shout coming from the void behind him.
It's those Black Wind Group guys again! Hearing the shout, it felt rather familiar. Ye Yunfei immediately sent out his Soul Power to sense. It turned out to be the same Black Wind Group members he had encountered a month ago.
Ye Yunfei then saw, in the Chaotic Void behind him, a group of people chasing a young maiden. The girl was pale, her aura chaotic and clearly severely injured, fleeing in desperate panic.
The pursuers behind her were all the Black Wind Group members Ye Yunfei had seen a month ago.
These Black Wind Group members now appeared utterly exhausted. While they weren't injured, chasing non-stop for a full month had severely drained everyone's energy reserves.
Dammit!
These two little sluts made us chase for so long! I've almost used up all the elixirs and rare heavenly treasures I had for replenishing energy!
What are you complaining about? Hurry up! We've already caught one little slut. Now we just need to grab the remaining one, and we can go claim our reward!
Young Master Zhan has already said that if we can capture these two Xiao Family sluts and deliver them to him, he'll reward us handsomely!
So, everyone can rest easy and not worry about these minor losses.
...
As the Black Wind Group members chased the young maiden at full speed, they yelled and shouted.
After such a long chase, these Black Wind Group members seemed to have run out of patience.
It looks like one of those two girls has been captured, and the other is still escaping, the Remnant Soul told Ye Yunfei.
That girl managed to escape for an entire month without being caught. That's quite something, Hun Lao couldn't help remarking.
It's you again! At this moment, the young maiden was getting closer and closer to Ye Yunfei. Seeing Ye Yunfei, she was somewhat surprised.
She had encountered Ye Yunfei a month ago during her escape, and now she was meeting him again.
Look! It's that brat we met a month ago!
At that time, Wu Da and He Qian were tasked with dealing with him, but they've been missing ever since. Just where did those two run off to?
At this moment, the Black Wind Group members behind also recognized Ye Yunfei. Someone pointed at him and shouted.
Last time, I ordered Wu Da and He Qian to deal with this brat. Now Wu Da and He Qian are missing, but this brat is perfectly fine. There's definitely something fishy going on! Send more people over, capture this brat, and interrogate him about Wu Da and He Qian's whereabouts! a burly man with a rough, menacing face scrutinized Ye Yunfei and barked an order.
Swoosh swoosh...
Immediately, over a dozen men moved to surround Ye Yunfei.
Last time, these Black Wind Group members didn't take Ye Yunfei seriously at all, sending only two men to deal with him.
This time, they seemed to sense something amiss with Ye Yunfei and started taking him seriously, dispatching over a dozen men to deal with him.
Moreover, these dozen or so men moved swiftly. Without uttering a word, they charged at Ye Yunfei at full speed, intent on directly taking action.
Seeing this, Ye Yunfei's expression darkened.
Originally, Ye Yunfei had no intention of having any conflict with these Black Wind Group members, but they had repeatedly come to provoke him.
Hurry up and run! These Black Wind Group people are truly wicked and all extremely vicious. You're no match for them.
Remember, I am a direct descendant of the Xiao Family from the Tianjiao World Group. My Shuangshuang Jie has already been captured by these Black Wind Group members. I'm severely injured, my internal energy nearly exhausted, and I don't have the strength to run anymore.
I'll hold off these Black Wind Group members now and cover your escape.
But you have to promise me that you will go to the Xiao Family in the Tianjiao World Group and deliver a message for me, informing them about what happened to the two of us sisters. At that time, our Xiao Family will definitely reward you handsomely.
Right at this moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly received a Sound Transmission—precisely from the young maiden frantically fleeing.
Receiving this transmission, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but be taken aback, his puzzled gaze turning toward the maiden.
Ye Yunfei recognized her as Yueyue, having heard the other maiden call her that personally a month ago.
Don't hesitate! This is urgent! Hurry up and run!
Remember, you must go to the Xiao Family in the Tianjiao World Group to deliver the message! Seeing Ye Yunfei standing rooted to the spot, Yueyue grew anxious and sent another Sound Transmission.
I don't have time to go to the Tianjiao World Group to deliver a message for you. Besides, I don't even know you. Why should I help you deliver a message? Ye Yunfei replied.
What... What are you saying!
How can you be so unappreciative!
Don't you know you're already in perilous straits?!
If I don't cover your escape, these Black Wind Group members will kill you. Do you have a choice?
I cover your escape, saving your life. You helping me deliver a message—that's only proper, right? Receiving Ye Yunfei's reply, Yueyue became furious and immediately responded via Sound Transmission.
I said, I don't have the time, nor am I interested, in helping you deliver a message, Ye Yunfei answered flatly.
You... Yueyue was so angry she didn't know what to say.
Brat, surrender quietly and be bound!
At this moment, the dozen-odd Black Wind Group members had completely surrounded Ye Yunfei, each wearing cold smiles.
In their eyes, Ye Yunfei was merely a Initial Golden Immortal. Even if he had some tricks up his sleeve, he couldn't possibly be a match for all of them together.
Alright then. You are truly heartless and know no good from ill.
Then again, when it comes down to it, it was I who implicated you.
I'm going to fight them with my life now. You seize the chance to escape, Yueyue suddenly let out a soft sigh and transmitted.
At this point, she was almost as good as a lamp out of oil—utterly exhausted and with no strength left to flee.
Moreover, with Shuangshuang Jie captured by these Black Wind Group members, she didn't want to flee alone and decided to fight these Black Wind Group men to the death, hoping to see if she could rescue Shuangshuang Jie.
Having made her decision, Yueyue clenched her teeth, planted her feet firmly, grasped a crystalline, radiant longsword, and charged back toward where Ye Yunfei was.
This girl has a good heart. In a situation like this, she's still thinking of helping you.
Maybe she feels she's implicated you.
It's obvious she's a junior with little experience in the world. Otherwise, why would she try to save a stranger? the Remnant Soul transmitted to Ye Yunfei.
You wicked bandits who commit every evil—die! Yueyue swung the longsword in her hand, unleashing hundreds of millions of dazzling sword auras that swept out like an ocean, instantly inundating a vast stretch of space.
That's fine swordsmanship.
At a glance, Ye Yunfei recognized that the swordsmanship Yueyue was executing was highly sophisticated.
Hahaha... Little slut, done running?
Be careful. Even though this little slut is already exhausted, she still possesses some combat power!
...
Seeing Yueyue suddenly stop fleeing, all the Black Wind Group members were overjoyed.
What they feared was that Yueyue would continue running, forcing them to keep chasing, uncertain how much longer it would take to catch her.
Now that Yueyue had stopped fleeing and was prepared to fight them to the death, it played right into their hands.
Immediately surround those two! The Black Wind Group members surged forward, surrounding Ye Yunfei and Yueyue.
Why are you just standing there like a log? Run! I'll hold them off! Yueyue, now swinging her longsword frantically, attacked the dozen or so men surrounding Ye Yunfei. For a moment, her onslaught forced them back a few steps. But seeing Ye Yunfei remain rooted in place, showing absolutely no intention of fleeing, she felt both anxious and angry and shouted at him.
Why go through this?
I wasn't planning on getting involved in this matter to begin with.
Seeing Yueyue behaving like this, Ye Yunfei couldn't help shaking his head, feeling somewhat resigned.
Fine! I don't care about you anymore. Look after yourself! Yueyue said angrily.
By this point, she was already surrounded by Black Wind Group members. Even if she wanted to help Ye Yunfei, her strength was insufficient.
These Black Wind Group people's primary target was Yueyue. Now that Yueyue had stopped to fight voluntarily, exactly what they wished for, most of them crowded around Yueyue, preventing her from escaping again.
Hand over Shuangshuang Jie immediately, or I'll fight you all to the death! Yueyue roared, her gaze resolute, having made up her mind to risk it all.
Hmph, little slut, with what do you think you can fight us?
I advise you to surrender quietly, to spare yourself physical pain.
Don't worry, we won't make things difficult for you. Both you sisters are women Young Master Zhan specifically wanted. In the future, after the two of you follow Young Master Zhan, you'll enjoy boundless glory. At that time, you might even thank our Black Wind Group, one of the Black Wind Group members spoke up.
So it really is Zhan Yuan who hired you!
That bastard is too hateful! Yueyue gnashed her teeth in rage, her beautiful eyes blazing with fury.
