However, Ye Yunfei's speed was simply too fast. Within this eerie city permeated with Mental Force energy and Heart Force Laws, Ye Yunfei was not only completely unaffected but even felt a sense of ease, like a fish in water.
As his Mental Force cultivation continued to rapidly improve, the range he could now perceive with his Mental Force energy had expanded considerably.
Moreover, Ye Yunfei discovered that the constraining effect of this city's Heart Force Laws on him had weakened significantly. He could now execute his movement techniques without any hindrance.
Before, whenever he used his movement techniques, they would always be restrained by the city's Mental Force energy and Heart Force Laws, preventing the freedom and ease he experienced outside. Combined with the effect of his Time Boots, his movement speed had now become even faster.
A short while later, Ye Yunfei had left the two groups of pursuers far behind him.
As Ye Yunfei sped forward, he used one of his soul bodies to comprehend the two Heartforce Tokens within his soul sea. Simultaneously, the Heart Refinement Orb hovered above his head, ceaselessly absorbing and refining the Mental Force energy present in the surrounding space.
This city contained a large quantity of high-level Mental Force energy and Heart Force Laws, making it an excellent place for cultivating one's Mental Force. Ye Yunfei naturally wouldn't waste such a good cultivation environment and was practically improving his Mental Force cultivation at every moment.
With the passage of time, Ye Yunfei's Mental Force energy level steadily increased.
"Just where exactly is your elder sister? Can you sense her aura?"
After some time had passed and he still hadn't found Xiao Huanhuan, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but ask Xiao Yueyue.
"I am trying hard to detect Sister Huanhuan's aura," Xiao Yueyue replied. "I am carrying a specially crafted token on me, and Sister Huanhuan carries one as well. As long as the two of us come close, the tokens will react."
Right at that moment.
"Young Master Ye, my token just reacted! Just now, it suddenly reacted! That means Sister Huanhuan must definitely be nearby! We must quickly go find her!"
Suddenly, Xiao Yueyue trembled, a wild expression of joy on her face as she spoke in a voice shaking with excitement.
"Really? That's wonderful."
Ye Yunfei was also pleasantly surprised. He immediately released his Mental Force and Soul Power, sending his perception sweeping out in all directions.
"Roughly which direction is your sister?" Ye Yunfei asked.
"It should be in that direction," Xiao Yueyue pointed ahead. Ye Yunfei's figure instantly flashed as he rushed in that direction.
"The reaction is getting stronger! That means Sister Huanhuan is getting closer to us!" Xiao Yueyue exclaimed excitedly.
"Good news. I can sense your sister now," Ye Yunfei suddenly revealed a look of pleasant surprise and spoke moments later.
"Really? Where is Sister Huanhuan? Quickly, take me to her! Is she alright?" Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Xiao Yueyue cried out immediately, overjoyed.
"She seems to be in trouble, but hasn't been harmed yet. We'll go over immediately."
Ye Yunfei had already locked onto Xiao Huanhuan's position by this point.
"Sister Huanhuan hasn't been harmed? That's truly excellent!" Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Xiao Yueyue couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Ye Yunfei utilized his movement technique and rushed towards Xiao Huanhuan's location. Xiao Huanhuan was probably only four or five streets away from where Ye Yunfei currently was, but with Ye Yunfei's speed, he could cover that distance in just a few breaths.
At this moment, within a certain street, three young women were surrounded by a group of people. All three women had already lost their ability to move, the energy within their bodies sealed. They lay on the street floor.
Their faces wore terrified and despairing expressions. Their clothing was in complete disarray, torn in several places, revealing glimpses of fair, delicate skin beneath.
All three women were beauties in the prime of their youth. Their figures were curvaceous and alluring, their skin and features lovely and each possessing her own charm. One of them was Xiao Huanhuan.
"Hahaha... truly a stroke of luck! To think we'd capture three young women of the Xiao Family. It's said the bloodlines of Xiao Family's younger generation women are extremely valuable. Obtaining their 'first time' holds boundless wonderful uses. I've really hit the jackpot today."
A blue-robed middle-aged man gazed greedily at the three young women lying on the ground and laughed loudly.
The energy emanating from this blue-robed man was truly terrifying—he was a Primary Heavenly Immortal.
"We in the Black Wind Group have agreed to hand over Xiao Huanhuan intact to Zhan Yuan, so we should leave her untouched. As for the other two women, we can take one each. Perfect," a vile-looking, short-statured elder next to him let out a chilling laugh.
This elder was an Intermediate Heavenly Immortal!
"I've taken a liking to that one. I'll take her into my spatial treasure right now and... commune well with her," the short elder said, pointing at one of the young women.
"Hahaha... Elder Huang, why are you in such a hurry?" The blue-robed middle-aged man guffawed.
"This isn't impatience. This is decisiveness. It's a rare chance to obtain a young Xiao Family woman. If I don't enjoy it now, then when? Wait too long, and things might get complicated." The short elder replied.
"That's true. Elder Huang has a point. In that case, I won't wait either." The blue-robed man laughed.
"Then this one's mine." The blue-robed man walked towards another of the young women.
"Don't come near me!" That young woman couldn't move a muscle. Her clothes were torn in many places, revealing glimpses of her body. She stared in horror, unable to accept the reality before her.
"Humph! I'm coming near. What are you going to do about it? Hahaha! Miss, stop thinking about resisting. Just give in quietly to my will." The blue-robed middle-aged man laughed maniacally.
A large number of other men stood around, all of them looking vicious and casting envious glances at the two Intermediate Heavenly Immortals. These were all members of the Black Wind Group.
"You lot keep an eye on this one and wait here for us," the short elder told the Black Wind Group members. He then reached out a hand and picked up one of the Xiao Family women.
"Ah! Get away! I am a member of the Xiao Family! If you dare lay a hand on me, my family will never let you go!" That young woman was terrified out of her wits and screamed.
"Wench! Shut up! You think I'm afraid of your Xiao Family?" The short elder slapped that Xiao Family woman with a loud crack and tore a large piece of her clothing, revealing smooth skin like creamy white jade underneath, drawing many greedy gazes from all around.
"Ah! Let me go!" The Xiao Family woman shuddered fearfully and screamed.
"Alright, let's speed this up. We still need to leave this city and explore for treasures elsewhere. The Void Secret Realm is vast, with many areas still waiting for us." The blue-robed middle-aged man said.
As he spoke, he waved his hand. A three-story pagoda appeared, hovering within the street and continuously enlarging.
The short elder also produced a spatial treasure—a small, fist-sized black palace—that also began to rapidly enlarge.
Just as these two Heavenly Immortals of the Black Wind Group prepared to each take a Xiao Family woman into their spatial treasures...
Ye Yunfei stepped into this street.
Not only Ye Yunfei, but Hu Miao, Huang Shang, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, and his Blood Clan Clone all arrived within this street at the same time. They had earlier scattered to search for the Xiao sisters, and after a period, had arrived at this street unplanned yet simultaneously.
"What's going on here? Are those two young women also from your Xiao Family?" Seeing Xiao Huanhuan lying on the ground, and the two other Xiao Family women, Ye Yunfei asked Xiao Yueyue.
Although her sensory abilities couldn't match Ye Yunfei's, once she arrived within this street, Xiao Yueyue immediately sensed the situation there clearly and understood what was probably happening.
"Yes, they are both juniors of our Xiao Family as well. And they share a good relationship with us two sisters. Young Master Ye, I beg you, please save them too. Don't let those vile Black Wind Group villains defile their innocence," Xiao Yueyue replied.
"Thank the heavens! Sister Huanhuan hasn't been harmed yet," Xiao Yueyue said with relief upon seeing Xiao Huanhuan lying on the ground.
"If they are all Black Wind Group members, then I won't be polite."
Ye Yunfei swept a cold glance over the Black Wind Group members and smirked.
Ye Yunfei had been cultivating Mental Force energy and Heart Force Laws all this time, with his Mental Force cultivation steadily improving. He had long wanted a good chance to test the results of his cultivation. Now that such an opportunity had presented itself, he decisively acted.
Ye Yunfei directly utilized his Formless Heart Sword.
"Ahh!" "Argh!"
Screams immediately rang out amongst the Black Wind Group members within the street. One by one, the members were struck as if by lightning, their bodies sent flying backwards. Some died on the spot; others crashed onto the ground some distance away, twitching, evidently not long for this world.
In less than the time it took to breathe, dozens of Black Wind Group members were either dead or severely wounded.
"Who's there?!"
Ye Yunfei's movement speed was simply too fast, and this scene had unfolded too abruptly. It wasn't until after Ye Yunfei had attacked and struck down dozens of members that the other Black Wind Group members finally reacted and saw Ye Yunfei.
A barrage of furious gazes locked onto Ye Yunfei.
The blue-robed middle-aged man and the short elder spun around sharply, their sharp and imposing gazes fixed on Ye Yunfei.
"It's you!" The blue-robed man recognized Ye Yunfei at a glance, initially shocked, then enraged.
"Good! Brat, I was just about to come looking for you! To think you'd dare to show up on my doorstep!" The short elder roared harshly.
Ye Yunfei responded with a cold smirk. Concentrating his will, he executed the Formless Heart Sword once more.
"Ahh!" "Aaii!"
Screams rang out one after another. Bodies of Black Wind Group members flew through the air one by one, their seven orifices bleeding, before crashing down onto the street floor some distance away.
In less than a single breath, several dozen more Black Wind Group members were either killed by Ye Yunfei or sustained grievous injuries.
This kind of attack was terrifying!
Even the two Heavenly Immortals of the Black Wind Group momentarily couldn't tell just what sinister technique Ye Yunfei was using.
The expressions of both Heavenly Immortals were grim.
"This brat is exceedingly strange. We can't afford to be careless. Deal with him first!" The two Heavenly Immortals exchanged a glance. They each placed the Xiao Family women in their hands to the side and then slowly began walking towards Ye Yunfei.
"Brat, you've killed so many members of our Black Wind Group. Today, prepare to pay the price," The blue-robed middle-aged man said through gritted teeth, staring at Ye Yunfei with eyes brimming with murderous intent.
"Just by the two of you?" Ye Yunfei's face revealed a disdainful expression.
"Brat, you are truly arrogant!" Seeing Ye Yunfei's expression, the short elder couldn't help but glare and shout.
Rumble…
In the next instant, both Heavenly Immortals simultaneously lunged to attack Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei unleashed his Formless Heart Sword, simultaneously attacking the bodies of these two Heavenly Immortals.
Mental Force energy was extremely difficult to defend against. Even Heavenly Immortals struggled to perceive the attack before it struck them. Struck by the Formless Heart Sword, both Heavenly Immortals' faces changed drastically, and they momentarily halted their movements.
Seizing this opportunity, Ye Yunfei activated his Time Boots, instantly retreating a great distance from them to stand far off, his gaze icy.
"Ahh!" "Arggh!"
The members of the Black Wind Group once again started screaming. In the blink of an eye, another few dozen members reacted as if struck by lightning, their bodies sent flying backwards to crash onto the distant floor, whether alive or dead unknown.
"You dare, brat!"
"You're seeking death, kid!"
Seeing their subordinates half dead or wounded in mere moments, the two Black Wind Group Heavenly Immortals were both alarmed and furious, roaring simultaneously.
What made them even more apprehensive was that they still couldn't figure out what kind of sinister technique Ye Yunfei was using to kill! Therefore, they simply couldn't stop him! They could only watch helplessly as Ye Yunfei killed.
For Heavenly Immortals, this feeling was far too stifling!
Bang! Bang!
Both Heavenly Immortals were utterly enraged and lunged towards Ye Yunfei once again. The mighty energy pressures radiating from their bodies spread like vast oceans, causing the entire street to tremble as if boiling.
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei's figure flashed, swiftly retreating to open up a great distance once again between himself and the two Heavenly Immortals.
Right at this moment.
A figure glowing darkly appeared beside Xiao Huanhuan, lifting her up with one hand before employing some means to try and break the sealed energy within her body.
It was Huang Shang!
"Such potent sealed energy! As expected of a Heavenly Immortal expert!" Huang Shang sensed a terrifyingly powerful force hurtling towards him and was startled.
Rumble…
In the next moment, thick roiling mists of Yin energy emerged from Huang Shang's body, forming a massive black spectral hand that fiercely slammed into the sealed energy within Xiao Huanhuan's body. This time, he finally succeeded in breaking the seal on her energy.
Huang Shang's strength had greatly increased after obtaining the Seven Yin Wood. Furthermore, up to this point, Huang Shang had only refined a small portion of that Seven Yin Wood. When needed, he could channel the wood's energy to attack, its power formidable.
"Not good!"
At this time, the two Black Wind Group Heavenly Immortals noticed Huang Shang, their expressions changing drastically in alarm as they spun around and charged towards him.
"Put her down immediately! Otherwise, I'll shatter your ghostly form!" The short elder roared.
Rumble…
The two Heavenly Immortals directed their energy to suppress Huang Shang across the distance, as if invisible divine mountains were descending from the heavens to crush him.
"How terrifying!" Huang Shang exclaimed.
Bang…
In the next instant, a long, black piece of wood appeared above Huang Shang's head, erupting with waves of dark radiance that instantly dropped the temperature of this street to an icy cold.
This long black wood was precisely the Seven Yin Wood.
Huang Shang, on his own, would have been incapable of withstanding the suppression of these two Heavenly Immortals' energy. However, with the Seven Yin Wood present, he was just able to hold on.
"Heh heh, you overestimate yourselves. With just the two of you, I fear you can't do much to me." Huang Shang gave a cold laugh and extended a hand, lifting up the other two Xiao Family women. They had been lying right next to Xiao Huanhuan.
"So that's it! That damned kid surnamed Ye was intentionally luring us away!" The short elder shouted loudly now, suddenly realizing why Ye Yunfei had continuously retreated while evading their attacks earlier. His goal had been to allow this ghost cultivator to sneakily approach the three Xiao Family women and attempt a rescue.
"You figured it out. Unfortunately, it's too late." Huang Shang released an eerie, icy laugh. His figure then flashed, transforming into a wispy, ghostly mist as he fled towards the other end of the street.
"Halt!"
The two Black Wind Group Heavenly Immortals would certainly not permit Huang Shang to rescue their quarry. They both bellowed and unleashed all their remaining energy, suppressing Huang Shang remotely.
However, right at this moment…
They suddenly discovered an invisible long sword had attacked inside their bodies, madly slicing away.
Clang! Clang!
Additionally, bursts of sharp sword radiances endlessly chopped towards their backs, densely packed, as if a swarm of locusts had descended.
Ye Yunfei was simultaneously attacking these two Heavenly Immortals with both Formless Heart Sword and Myriad Swords Return to One!
Under Ye Yunfei's attacks, the speed of the two Heavenly Immortals immediately slowed.
Huang Shang had already seized the chance to escape down the street.
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei also turned and left.
Ye Yunfei's goal was rescuing people. Now that they had been rescued, there was no need for him to engage in a bloody battle with these two Heavenly Immortals here.
This was because Ye Yunfei perceived that two groups of people were rushing towards this location from different directions, one after the other. They were none other than the two groups that had been pursuing him not long before: the one from the Black Wind Group, and the one from the Demon Race.
Now that the two Xiao sisters were safe, what Ye Yunfei most wanted to do next was to go find more Heartforce Tokens for comprehension, to increase his Mental Force cultivation.
If he could gather enough Heartforce Tokens, there was even a chance to obtain a Deity's legacy treasure related to Mental Force.
Therefore, Ye Yunfei had no desire to waste time on other matters for the time being!
