"Young Master Zhan, be careful! This brat actually managed to block my attack!"
The Initial Heavenly Immortal's strike had been blocked by Ye Yunfei, leaving him somewhat shocked. His expression then turned serious.
Although they had only exchanged a single blow, he already knew this youngster before him was certainly no ordinary individual.
"Just a Mid-Level Golden Immortal. Kill him! He has ruined my plans multiple times. His crimes are grave and monstrous! Now that we've encountered him, we absolutely cannot let him go!" Zhan Yuan pointed at Ye Yunfei, saying furiously.
If it weren't for Ye Yunfei repeatedly helping that pair of twins from the Xiao Family, he would have succeeded long ago. And now, Ye Yunfei had actually come to cause trouble again. His killing intent towards Ye Yunfei had reached its peak.
"Young Master Zhan, don't worry. I won't let him go!"
The old man nodded, his figure flickering as he charged towards Ye Yunfei.
BOOM...
Terrifying Heavenly Immortal-level energy erupted like a volcano, soaring skyward and shaking the surrounding space.
"Get ready to retreat!" Ye Yunfei sent a Sound Transmission to Huang Shang.
Although Ye Yunfei wasn't afraid of this Initial Heavenly Immortal before him, the enemy was numerous. Moreover, the Zhan Family was a major clan with considerable overall strength. If he became entangled in a prolonged fight, attracting more Zhan Family experts later would be troublesome.
Besides, if the Intermediate Heavenly Immortal from the Black Wind Group received news, he would definitely rush over immediately.
"Alright!"
After Huang Shang took the silver palace, he quickly found a Soul Power mark attached inside the palace. He erased this mark and then took control of the palace.
"They're indeed inside this spatial treasure!" Huang Shang sensed the palace's interior and sent a Sound Transmission to Ye Yunfei.
As he transmitted, Huang Shang transformed into a ghostly shadow, flickering faintly as he swiftly approached Ye Yunfei.
"Good." Ye Yunfei nodded.
Ye Yunfei swung his sword, cleaving out a thick blade of sword light that tore through space as it slashed towards the old man charging swiftly at him.
DANG...!
Seeing the fierce momentum of the sword light, the old man opened his mouth and spat. A large purple bell rushed out from his mouth. With a forceful vibration, it released rippling waves of energy that rapidly expanded, shattering time and space wherever they went.
With a clang, the purple bell blocked the sword light and continued to suppress Ye Yunfei, clearly a powerful treasure.
ROAR...
Suddenly, a beast's roar rang out. Then, a tall purple ape appeared, its body stocky like an iron tower. Moreover, purple flames surged all over its form, emanating a bizarre energy. In its hands, it held a thick purple stone club, smashing down at Ye Yunfei from a commanding height.
BOOM...
The purple stone club carried terrifying force, directly causing this space to cave in.
Ye Yunfei felt boundless, fearsome power pressing in on him from all sides.
"What kind of demonic beast is this? Such dreadful force! This strength probably allows it to battle a Initial Heavenly Immortal!" Ye Yunfei thought, inwardly shocked.
"This is a War Beast, a core combatant of Beast Taming families.
These War Beasts generally belong to rare and precious demonic or monstrous species. They are tamed from a young age, growing and cultivating alongside their masters. Their combat power is not inferior to their master's, sometimes even stronger!
The terrifying aspect of Beast Taming families is that every member possesses a War Beast. When released in battle, their combat power multiplies.
This ape should be a Chaotic Demon Ape, rumored to possess boundless strength, a favorite War Beast for Beast Taming families to tame."
Hun Lao sent a Sound Transmission to Ye Yunfei.
"So it's a War Beast." Ye Yunfei's expression grew slightly solemn. A War Beast with power equivalent to a Initial Heavenly Immortal was rather frightening!
"I sense Huanhuan and Yueyue's auras!
They should be in this region!"
At this moment, a group of people suddenly appeared in the distant sky, rolling forward like a tide. It was the Xiao Family contingent, led by Liu Laolao.
"The Xiao Family has arrived!" Hun Lao sent a Sound Transmission to Ye Yunfei.
"Good timing. We can hand them over to the Xiao Family." Ye Yunfei replied.
"Young Master Zhan, it seems the Xiao Family has arrived!"
The Initial Heavenly Immortal also noticed the distant Xiao Family forces and sent a Sound Transmission to Zhan Yuan.
"Damn it!
How did they find this place?" Zhan Yuan said angrily.
With the Xiao Family's arrival, he certainly wouldn't dare snatch Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue right in front of them.
After all, the Xiao Family was also a major clan, its overall strength not weaker than the Zhan Family. A conflict erupting because of him would have severe consequences.
"Young Master Zhan, what should we do now?" the Initial Heavenly Immortal transmitted.
"You people from the Black Wind Group, leave immediately!" Zhan Yuan transmitted to the Black Wind Group members.
In fact, before he even said it, upon seeing the Xiao Family appear in the distance, the Black Wind Group members had already begun to quietly flee.
After all, they had captured Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue. If the Xiao Family found out, a major battle was inevitable.
"What is going on here!"
Soon, the Xiao Family forces rushed over. Seeing Ye Yunfei heavily surrounded and the Zhan Family's Initial Heavenly Immortal attacking him, they felt somewhat bewildered.
"Where are our Xiao Family disciples!
Are they on you!
Hand them over immediately, otherwise none of you will leave!"
Liu Laolao had already clearly sensed the auras of Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue and shouted loudly.
The Xiao Family had unique bloodlines and could sense each other through secret methods.
This Liu Laolao was a powerful expert of the Xiao Family and had been extremely familiar with the bloodlines of Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue since their childhood. Therefore, she sensed them as soon as she arrived.
"On this brat!
This brat wanted to capture your Xiao Family's two disciples. I happened to be passing by and saw there was a fight here, so I immediately brought people to investigate. Unexpectedly, I saw this brat and the Black Wind Group people besieging and capturing your two Xiao Family female disciples. So I immediately led my Zhan Family people to surround this brat.
Your two Xiao Family disciples are in this brat's hands, imprisoned inside a spatial treasure!"
Zhan Yuan suddenly pointed at Ye Yunfei and said to Liu Laolao.
"Immediately use our Zhan Family's secret art to disrupt the time and space laws of this region, preventing the Xiao Family from tracing back time and deducing what happened earlier!" While saying these words, Zhan Yuan secretly transmitted to the old man.
"What?"
Ye Yunfei, Hun Lao, and the others were stunned upon hearing Zhan Yuan's words.
"Brat, still not handing over the Xiao Family's two disciples!"
At this moment, the Zhan Family old man suddenly made his move, launching an attack on Ye Yunfei together with the Chaotic Demon Ape. Both unleashed ferocious energy with imposing momentum, directly causing this space to continuously collapse. Time and space shattered on a large scale, transforming into myriad time-space fragments swirling wildly.
"Elder, I suspect this brat colluded with the Black Wind Group people, intending to capture your Xiao Family's two disciples.
If you don't believe me, once I capture this brat and interrogate him, we'll know."
Zhan Yuan said to Liu Laolao.
As his words fell, Zhan Yuan waved a hand. A yellow ring flew out, continuously enlarging and releasing terrifying energy pressure, as if it wanted to completely obliterate this space.
"The Zhan Family's Beast Taming Treasure Ring!"
Liu Laolao's gaze sharpened upon seeing this yellow ring, her expression turning somewhat grave.
"Well, well! After all this fuss, it turns out this brat wants to capture our Xiao Family members!
How audacious, to dare move against our Xiao Family!
We absolutely cannot let this brat go!"
From within the Xiao Family forces, a woman shrieked.
This woman was precisely Xiao Qinglian!
"Take action! Capture this brat immediately!" Other Xiao Family members also began shouting.
BOOM...
The yellow ring surged forward, its passage causing the time and space of this region to continuously explode, leading to large-scale collapse.
"Be careful. This is a treasure specially used by Beast Taming families. Its power is extremely formidable."
Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei.
"It was Zhan Yuan who paid the Black Wind Group to capture Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue. I came to rescue them.
Your Xiao Family has a traitor. It was your family's traitor who contacted Zhan Yuan, provided information, and lured Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue out, allowing the Black Wind Group to capture them."
Ye Yunfei said clearly.
"You little bastard! Spouting nonsense! Clearly it was you who wanted to capture our Xiao Family members, and yet you dare slander Young Master Zhan and our Xiao Family people!
You simply have a death wish!"
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Xiao Qinglian's face changed slightly as she yelled loudly.
Because she was the Xiao Family traitor.
"Brat, you dare to twist black and white! Do you truly think our Zhan Family is easy to provoke?" Zhan Yuan sneered.
"She is the eyewitness."
Ye Yunfei directly transported a woman out from the Phantom Tower. It was precisely that Xiao Family woman from before who had led Ye Yunfei from the gathering city into the Black Wind Group's ambush.
"Xiao Qianrui!
So this brat captured Xiao Qianrui!" Xiao Qinglian cried out immediately upon seeing that Xiao Family woman.
"Liu Laolao, save me!"
Xiao Qianrui was originally very flustered, but upon seeing the surrounding Xiao Family members, she immediately became agitated and screamed.
"Brat, you dare to move against our Xiao Family people!" Liu Laolao and the other Xiao Family members were all filled with anger.
"Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue are also here. I don't wish to get involved in your Xiao Family matters.
I repeat: it was Zhan Yuan who paid the Black Wind Group to capture Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue. Xiao Qinglian and Xiao Qianrui are your Xiao Family's traitors. They two tricked Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue out, then contacted the Black Wind Group to capture them.
That's what happened."
Ye Yunfei waved a hand, transporting Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue out from the silver palace. He then spoke.
Following this, Ye Yunfei swung his sword, unleashing a thick blade of sword light that instantly erupted and swept horizontally across the surroundings.
This was a sword strike Ye Yunfei executed with full force, its power extremely formidable, directly tearing through the surrounding space.
The surrounding Xiao Family and Zhan Family forces were all frightened, continuously retreating.
BOOM... BOOM...
While executing the sword strike, Ye Yunfei threw out over a hundred treasures. Within these treasures, numerous formation patterns were inscribed, combining with each other to form over a dozen battle formations that simultaneously erupted. Vast and mighty energy surged out like raging tides in all directions.
At the same time as launching his attacks, Ye Yunfei had already activated the Space Teleportation Token. A powerful teleportation energy was born, beginning the teleportation.
Both the Xiao Family and Zhan Family had Heavenly Immortal experts present, but events happened too suddenly, leaving them somewhat flustered. By the time they reacted, Ye Yunfei had already teleported away.
"Liu Laolao! Why are you all here!
We were captured by the Black Wind Group before!
Liu Laolao, was it you who rescued us?"
Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue were transported out by Ye Yunfei. Seeing so many Xiao Family members around, they were overjoyed and cried out.
Because Ye Yunfei had launched an attack and used the Space Teleportation Token to teleport away immediately after transporting them out, they hadn't seen Ye Yunfei.
Due to the urgency earlier, Ye Yunfei needed to rescue them but hadn't had time to meet them yet. So they didn't know it was Ye Yunfei who had saved them.
Liu Laolao saw that although Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue were physically sealed, they weren't harmed. She breathed a sigh of relief and waved a hand, removing the seals on the two sisters.
"Damn it! If not for that brat meddling, those two little sluts would already be on my bed by now!
I swear, I will kill that brat, dismember his body, grind his bones to dust!"
Seeing Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue, Zhan Yuan's face twisted with fury, almost roaring on the spot.
"Elders of the Xiao Family, I shall take my leave first."
Knowing that with so many Xiao Family members here, he certainly couldn't do anything to Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue, Zhan Yuan turned and left with his subordinates.
"I will investigate today's events thoroughly. Once I ascertain the truth, none of the relevant parties will escape!" Liu Laolao looked deeply at Zhan Yuan and said solemnly.
Moments later.
"Young Master Ye was here just now?
No need to ask, it must have been Young Master Ye who saved us again!
Where is Young Master Ye? I want to thank him in person!" Xiao Yueyue asked after hearing the Xiao Family members describe the earlier situation. She was overjoyed and immediately cried out.
"Qianrui, how about you? You were with us sisters when we encountered the Black Wind Group before. Surely you fell into their hands too, right? Was it Young Master Ye who rescued you later?" Xiao Yueyue asked Xiao Qianrui.
"No.
Yueyue, you've been deceived by that Ye fellow. He's not a good person.
I wasn't captured by the Black Wind Group. I was captured by that Ye fellow. He even tried to take liberties with me."
Xiao Qianrui cautiously stole a glance at the nearby Xiao Qinglian before shaking her head and speaking.
"What?
Qianrui, what are you saying?
Young Master Ye captured you?
That's absolutely impossible!" Xiao Yueyue was stunned for a moment, then cried out.
"Xiao Yueyue, I'm truly amazed by you! That brat colluded with the Black Wind Group to deal with you, and you actually still think he's a good person!
What kind of intelligence is that!" Xiao Qinglian said in a mocking, insinuating tone.
"No!
Liu Laolao, I believe Young Master Ye is absolutely not such a person!" Xiao Huanhuan took a deep look at Xiao Qianrui, thought for a moment, then said to Liu Laolao.
After hearing about the earlier situation, she immediately knew Ye Yunfei must have been wrongfully accused.
They had been following Ye Yunfei before. If Ye Yunfei had wanted to capture them, he could have done so countless times. Their combat power was negligible before Ye Yunfei.
"Let's leave this place first and return to the stronghold to discuss.
The Void Secret Realm is about to open. We need to return and prepare."
Liu Laolao thought for a moment and said solemnly.
"Also, from now on, the two of you absolutely must not leave my side. Otherwise, upon returning, you will be severely punished according to our Xiao Family's clan rules!" Liu Laolao added, speaking in a stern voice.
"Liu Laolao..." Xiao Huanhuan still wanted to explain.
But Liu Laolao waved a sleeve, leading the Xiao Family forces away like a rolling tide.
"Sister Huanhuan, Young Master Ye was definitely wronged!" Xiao Yueyue said anxiously to Xiao Huanhuan.
"Yueyue, let's go back first and talk later.
From now on, we can no longer trust Xiao Qianrui. Keep your distance from her." Xiao Huanhuan sighed and transmitted.
