One day later.
"Ahead is the Tiange World Cluster!"
The two sisters suddenly cried out with delight.
Over this single day, Ye Yunfei had kept them moving at a swift pace, until now a sprawling World Cluster suddenly appeared before their eyes.
"That's right, this is the Tiange World Cluster," the Remnant Soul confirmed to Ye Yunfei.
This Remnant Soul had ventured into the Void Secret Realm back in his time and thus was relatively familiar with the Tiange World Cluster.
"The three of you have already been targeted by the Black Wind Group. It's highly likely that their members will track you here to the Tiange World Cluster. So, I think you three had better disguise yourselves and conceal your auras as much as possible. That way, you won't be found by the Black Wind Group so quickly," the Remnant Soul advised Ye Yunfei.
"That's a good suggestion, Senior," Ye Yunfei nodded and then explained the situation to the two sisters.
"Young Master Ye, members of our Xiao Family have also come to explore the Void Secret Realm. Once we find our Xiao Family's people, we won't have to fear the Black Wind Group anymore," Yueyue responded.
"Yueyue, let's listen to Young Master Ye. We'll disguise ourselves first and make plans after we find our Xiao Family's people," Xiao Huanhuan said.
"Alright then," Xiao Yueyue nodded.
After that, the three of them each used secret arts from their own cultivation to alter their appearances and conceal their auras.
Previously, to help Ye Yunfei cultivate the 'Nine Returns to True Immortal' technique, the Teacher Liu had imparted to him a highly sophisticated concealment secret art. Ye Yunfei had already cultivated it to a state of perfection.
Soon, Ye Yunfei was completely transformed, turning into an unfamiliar young man, even his Soul Body aura was completely altered.
"Young Master Ye, it's like you've become a completely different person! Your secret art is incredible!"
The sisters stared at Ye Yunfei. Yueyue spoke with astonishment.
Although the aura-concealing secret art they used was also advanced, its effect could not compare to Ye Yunfei's.
"Alright, let's enter the Tiange World Cluster now," Ye Yunfei said.
Then, taking the lead, he strode ahead into the depths of the Tiange World Cluster.
"Although the scale of this World Cluster isn't larger than the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, and is perhaps even slightly smaller, its overall strength surpasses that of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds by a huge margin." Ye Yunfei looked at the World Cluster before him, feeling a touch of sentiment. He sent a sound transmission to Hun Lao.
This World Cluster ahead looked exceptionally prosperous and bustling. Looking out, almost every world within it exuded an aura of profound energy and Law. Countless living beings moved through the Chaotic Void of this World Cluster. At a single glance, Immortals and Golden Immortals were as common as grass.
"Master, this place is simply teeming with Golden Immortals wherever you go!" Hu Miao couldn't help but exclaim.
"That's more than just Golden Immortals. Divine Immortals are not uncommon either; you can spot them easily. Look over there! That is a Divine Immortal! Two Divine Immortal experts are passing by together!" Jin Jiao Long Can also spoke up.
"Senior, roughly what is the strength of this Tiange World Cluster?" Driven by curiosity, Ye Yunfei sent a sound transmission to the Remnant Soul.
"The Tiange World Cluster, though not a core World Cluster, possesses a quite respectable overall strength within the Chaotic Void Sea. To put it this way, the Tiange World Cluster should be classified as a first-rate World Cluster. Within the Chaotic Void Sea, its power is second only to those core World Clusters. To my knowledge, there are Demigod-level powerhouses personally stationed within the Tiange World Cluster, but how many exactly, I do not know. When I came here in the past, I was merely a Divine Immortal, so I didn't know many things. Moreover, so much time has passed. How many Demigod-level experts are present in the Tiange World Cluster now, I am even less sure." the Remnant Soul replied.
"I see. So it seems there are indeed Demigod-level powerhouses personally stationed within this Tiange World Cluster." Ye Yunfei nodded after hearing the Remnant Soul's words.
At that moment, suddenly, from the Chaotic Void ahead, an enormous creature resembling both a python and a flood dragon came pulling a resplendent, golden carriage, thundering forward, flashing past in an instant.
"That's a Half-Flood Dragon Python! Said to be an extremely ferocious beast! And now it's pulling someone's carriage!" Yueyue exclaimed in wonder.
"Half-Flood Dragon Python..." Ye Yunfei stared at that long snake fading away into the distance in the Chaotic Void, somewhat shocked. He could sense that the strength of that Half-Flood Dragon Python was indeed formidable.
Just then, from another direction, a deafening roar of a beast resounded. Then Ye Yunfei saw a pure white, ferocious tiger with a pair of massive wings pull an ancient chariot, crushing noisily through the void.
"That's a White Jade-Winged Sky Tiger, a very rare ferocious beast! Now it's also pulling a carriage! Without a doubt, these ferocious beasts must have been provided by the Zhan Family. The Zhan Family is a traditional Beast Taming Clan. Only the Zhan Family can tame such rare and powerful beasts." Xiao Huanhuan spoke with a somewhat grim expression.
"That's right! It's the very family of that disgusting Zhan Yuan! The reason the Black Wind Group came to capture us sisters was because that repulsive fellow Zhan Yuan paid them!" At the mention of the Zhan Family, Xiao Yueyue immediately became furious, speaking through gritted teeth.
"Beast Taming Clan? What is a Beast Taming Clan?" Ye Yunfei asked curiously.
"Young Master Ye, you haven't even heard of Beast Taming Clans?" Xiao Huanhuan seemed somewhat surprised, after all, the Beast Taming Zhan Family was quite renowned in the Chaotic Void Sea.
"I come from a remote little place. I've never heard of Beast Taming Clans," Ye Yunfei answered.
"Beast Taming Clans refer to those families whose primary trade is training all kinds of flying creatures and ferocious beasts. Among them, the Zhan Family should be considered one of the most famous Beast Taming Clans in the Chaotic Void Sea."
"Families whose primary trade is training all kinds of flying creatures and ferocious beasts..." Hearing Xiao Huanhuan's explanation, Ye Yunfei grew even more curious.
"I suspect this Zhan Family might be a legacy handed down from a very prominent and powerful sect from my era. That major power was called the Beast Taming Sect. The Beast Taming Sect was skilled in taming all sorts of flying creatures and ferocious beasts, referring to these beasts as War Beasts. It could be said that their enormous quantities of War Beasts constituted the main force of the Beast Taming Sect. Ask this young lady about the current state of the Beast Taming Sect," the Remnant Soul said to Ye Yunfei.
"Do you know about the Beast Taming Sect? What is the general situation of the Beast Taming Sect now?" Following the Remnant Soul's hint, Ye Yunfei immediately asked Xiao Huanhuan.
"The Beast Taming Sect! Young Master Ye, I didn't expect you to know about the Beast Taming Sect! The Beast Taming Sect was an ancient super power in our Chaotic Void Sea. However, it seems to have already perished later on. Very few people nowadays know of the existence of the Beast Taming Sect. Only within long-standing, old families are the legends of the Beast Taming Sect still passed down. Within the scripture hall of our Xiao Family, there's an ancient text that records events concerning the Beast Taming Sect. I once read it, so I came to know about it. It's said that after its fall, the Beast Taming Sect left behind many beast taming arts. Many Beast Taming Clans in the current Chaotic Void Sea probably inherited their beast taming arts from the Beast Taming Sect," Xiao Huanhuan answered.
"What?! The Beast Taming Sect has perished? That's impossible! Back in the day, the Beast Taming Sect was one of the most powerful forces in the Chaotic Void Sea, with dozens of Demigod-level experts personally presiding over it. Although you couldn't say they dominated the Chaotic Void Sea, they were absolutely a major power that few dared to provoke. They actually perished?" After hearing Xiao Huanhuan's words, the Remnant Soul was somewhat disbelieving.
"Back in the day, I had some acquaintance with a few stewards of the Beast Taming Sect. I once visited their headquarters. Its magnificence was unparalleled. It was truly a formidable great sect. What a pity..." the Remnant Soul reminisced.
Rumble...
At this moment, a massive cluster of demonic mist surged and billowed from afar, its demonic light overwhelming the sky, its presence shocking.
"It's the Eighth Prince of the Demon Capital. He's a famous young talent within the Demon Capital. In recent years, he has garnered the attention of the Demon Capital's higher-ups and is being intensively cultivated." someone commented softly.
"Don't talk nonsense! Quickly, move out of the way! Most members of the demon race have savage temperaments and unpredictable moods. Often, with the slightest displeasure, they'll strike and kill. So when encountering powerful figures from the demon race, you must keep your distance at the first moment!" someone nearby urged.
Immediately, most living beings in this area hurriedly fled into the distance.
"Scram!"
Right at this moment, a long spear, wreathed in billowing demonic energy, shot out from that cluster of demonic mist, accompanied by a piercing roar. It instantly struck a being that hadn't dodged in time, causing that being's body to explode into a bloody mist, dying tragically on the spot.
"Run for your lives!"
Some beings who couldn't flee in time were frightened out of their wits, scrambling desperately to escape.
However, there were also some young beings, whose auras were sharp and imposing, who seemed completely oblivious to that demonic mist, making no move to avoid it.
"Hmph! Ling Xiaozi, you actually dare block my path? You give me no face."
A voice dripping with displeasure emanated from within that demonic mist.
"Is this road yours? I go my way, you go yours. We have nothing to do with each other."
A young man who looked quite ordinary walked leisurely past in front of that demonic mist, speaking blandly.
That demonic mist stopped, actually not daring to ram into this young man.
"Ling Xiaozi, just you wait. Daring to stand in my way like this, sooner or later you'll regret it."
The voice from within the demonic mist spoke again.
"If you're unconvinced, then attack. Don't waste words with me!"
The young man still maintained his leisurely pace, seemingly not placing the Eighth Prince of the Demon Capital in his eyes at all.
"Ling Xiaozi! Could he be the Ling Xiaozi from the Shangqing Sect? This is that young monster whose fame has spread through countless World Clusters in recent years! No wonder even the Eighth Prince of the Demon Capital doesn't dare do anything to him!" someone suddenly cried out in shock.
"That's right! It's him! He is the Ling Xiaozi from the Shangqing Sect! I once caught sight of him at the Daoteaching Conference for the younger generation within the Sanqing World last time! His distinguished air remains unchanged!" another person nearby said softly.
"Ling Xiaozi, just you wait!"
The Eighth Prince of the Demon Capital maneuvered the demonic mist to skirt around Ling Xiaozi and continued onward, simultaneously leaving behind a fierce declaration.
"I await you anytime," Ling Xiaozi said indifferently.
The Demon Capital was a formidable power within the Chaotic Void Sea. Although Ling Xiaozi had an extraordinary background and was an outstanding talent among the younger generation, barring necessity, he wouldn't proactively provoke the Demon Capital. Thus, he didn't take action against the Eighth Prince.
At that moment, Ye Yunfei noticed that the demonic mist was actually sweeping directly towards his direction. All living beings along its path hastily moved aside; no one dared block the way.
"Young Master Ye, this is the Eighth Prince of the Demon Capital. His father is a prominent figure within the Demon Capital, and his own strength is also formidable. We should quickly make way!" Seeing the aggressively approaching demonic mist, Xiao Huanhuan hurriedly warned Ye Yunfei.
"Some random cat or dog dares block my path. Die!"
Yet, before Ye Yunfei could even respond, a voice laden with malevolence rang out from within that demonic mist.
Then, a long spear radiating with rising demonic energy shot out from that demonic mist, aiming straight to pierce Ye Yunfei and his two companions.
Boom...!
The spear rapidly enlarged, instantly becoming as massive as a mountain range, releasing terrifying demonic energy.
"Young Master Ye, we must flee at once!"
Seeing the Eighth Prince attack, both Xiao sisters paled with fright, whispering urgently to Ye Yunfei.
"The Demon Capital is an extremely powerful power. You've just begun venturing in the Chaotic Void Sea. It's best not to provoke the Demon Capital for now. Wise men don't pick fights beyond their means. I think you should actively dodge this time. Even if you aren't afraid of this Eighth Prince, if the old demons of the Demon Capital get drawn into the matter later, it will spell trouble," the Remnant Soul advised Ye Yunfei.
"Senior, what you might not know is that I've already formed enmity with the Demon Capital back in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds," Ye Yunfei answered.
"Even so, you are still unfamiliar with the Chaotic Void Sea. It's not advisable to engage the Demon Capital head-on so soon after arriving," the Remnant Soul said.
"Alright then, I'll just avoid him this time. However, when the opportunity arises, I will definitely settle this score properly with this Eighth Prince." Ye Yunfei glanced at the demonic mist rolling towards him and spoke.
Then, Ye Yunfei took out a Space Teleportation Medallion and activated it directly, instantly teleporting away and disappearing.
"How is this possible? This space has already been sealed by my demonic energy. That fellow actually managed to teleport away?"
The Eighth Prince of the Demon Capital was somewhat astonished.
Soon after Ye Yunfei, taking the Xiao sisters with him, vanished, that vast demonic mist swept over the spot where the three had just stood, crashing into that area of space, causing it to continuously crumble and shatter, forming a dark, gaping spatial rift.
"I've already memorized the Soul Body auras of those three individuals just now. Relay my order: immediately dispatch someone to investigate their origins."
The Eighth Prince's voice came from within the demonic mist.
"As you command, Eighth Prince! I shall go attend to this immediately."
A respectful voice responded. Then, a demonic being shot out from the demonic mist and flew off in another direction.
"We've already arrived at the Tiange World Cluster. We should first go inquire about where exactly the Void Secret Realm is located and when it opens." Hun Lao suggested to Ye Yunfei, who was now far from that particular region of the Chaotic Void and appearing within another expanse of Chaotic Void in the Tiange World Cluster.
"Good. Let's first go inquire about the situation regarding the Void Secret Realm. After all, the main reason I came here is to enter the Void Secret Realm. I wonder where Brother Meng is at now. It would be convenient if I could find Brother Meng." Ye Yunfei nodded.
Following that, Ye Yunfei began making inquiries about the Void Secret Realm.
At the same time, a batch of Black Wind Group members also entered the Tiange World Cluster.
"From now on, we will split up to search for the twin sisters from the Xiao Family. At the same time, we need to investigate just who is helping them." The leading squad captain spoke.
"Don't worry, Big Brother Zhang. We know what we should do." The other Black Wind Group members nodded one after another.
"Everyone needs to be careful. I've received word that a fair number of young talents from the Xiao Family have come this time to participate in the exploration of this Void Secret Realm. There are bound to be elder experts from the Xiao Family secretly escorting them. So, we need to tread cautiously and avoid attracting the attention of the Xiao Family. Otherwise, the situation will become even more troublesome," that Big Brother Zhang cautioned.
Subsequently, this batch of Black Wind Group members began to take separate routes, heading off in different directions, searching for the whereabouts of the two Xiao sisters.
