"I understand.
However, since they're fighting so intensely, if I keep a low profile and seize the opportunity, I might be able to save them smoothly," Ye Yunfei replied.
The aura of that Snow Maiden's Soul Body resembled Da Bing's, suggesting a likely blood relation. Since he had encountered her, Ye Yunfei naturally couldn't stand idly by.
"Very well. Since you've decided, let's all prepare to act as soon as the opportunity arises," Hun Lao said, knowing Ye Yunfei's character. Once his mind was set, he would likely take action.
Boom! Boom!
At this moment, the energies released by the battle between the three Demigods grew increasingly terrifying. Surging power spread out like a vast ocean, having already devastated the surrounding space beyond recognition.
The living beings in the vicinity had long since retreated far away. No one dared remain in the area around the three clashing Demigods.
Only the platform at the center of the original square remained undamaged. The Demon Race had set up high-level defensive Formations on that platform, and the three Demigods consciously avoided damaging it.
The platform held the Snow Maidens; Old Man Bing didn't want them harmed. Furthermore, many Demon Race members guarded the Snow Maidens on the platform, and the two Demon Race Demigods naturally didn't want to injure their own forces. Simultaneously, the Demon Race had long regarded these Snow Maidens as their property and wouldn't destroy them without cause.
"Everyone, prepare yourselves. I'm making my move."
Ye Yunfei, who had already concealed himself in space not far from the platform using spatial secret art, sent a mental message to Hu Miao and the others.
Although the battle energy of the three Demigods was fearsome, Ye Yunfei could still withstand it. This was due to the exceptional quality of his physical body and his equally formidable Soul Body. Both his physique and his soul could barely resist the energy pressure emanating from Demigods of this level.
Swoosh!
Once Ye Yunfei decided to act, he acted immediately. He fed a large handful of spatial energy crystals into the Space Teleportation Token—all of them at the Heavenly Immortal grade!
Ye Yunfei had long discovered that the higher the grade of spatial energy crystals fed into this token, the greater the teleportation power it could unleash.
Swoosh!
The Space Teleportation Token instantly transported Ye Yunfei to the platform at the center of the square.
After the intense battle, the square surrounding the platform was a ruin, pitted with holes and even chasms. The original appearance of the square was no longer discernible.
"Who's there?"
The moment Ye Yunfei's figure appeared on the platform, Demon Race experts detected him and shouted harshly.
During the earlier fight, the two Demon Race Demigods had secretly issued orders. A dozen or so Demon Race Heavenly Immortals, leading a group of Demon Race troops, had come to the platform to guard the several thousand Snow Maidens. Each of these Snow Maidens was worth a fortune. Although the Demon Race was wealthy, they had too many members, and their recent campaigns across the Chaotic Void Sea required massive military expenditure. Therefore, after conquering a world cluster, they would loot assets and sell valuable items to fund their war efforts, sustaining war with war.
"Kill them all. Don't hold back!"
Ye Yunfei sent a mental message to Hu Miao and the others.
The next instant, Hu Miao, Huang Shang, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, the Blood Clan Clone, and the Nine-headed Divine Beasts all appeared simultaneously.
Ye Yunfei immediately deployed dozens of great formations, enveloping the entire platform.
Huang Shang used his Ghost Maze technique, conjuring numerous eerie ghostly walls that tightly sealed off the platform.
The Blood Clan Clone unleashed towering blood mist. Wherever it went, the blood within the Demon Race members began to boil furiously, causing their bodies to go soft and sapping their strength.
Hu Miao employed her illusion techniques, creating numerous illusions that swept over the Demon Race members.
In an instant, a scene of gloom and desolation unfolded on the platform: shimmering barriers, billowing ghostly fog, countless ghostly shadows, and all sorts of illusions like colorful, iridescent bubbles, creating a bizarre and fantastical spectacle.
"Ah... What's happening?"
"My body feels suppressed by several different energies at once. Who's attacking us!"
Panic spread among the Demon Race members on the platform. Pressured by the combined efforts of Ye Yunfei, Huang Shang, and Hu Miao, they were thrown into disarray.
Boom! Boom!
Ye Yunfei locked onto a Demon Race Heavenly Immortal, employing Mental Force shackles and the Formless Mind Sword, instantly immobilizing him.
Bang!
Before this Demon Race Heavenly Immortal understood what was happening, Ye Yunfei's fist blasted him apart, destroying both body and soul.
Ah! Ah!
As Ye Yunfei began slaying demons, Hu Miao and the others also took action. The agonized screams of Demon Race members rose incessantly.
Nine enormous fox tails, like pillars supporting the heavens, materialized and swept forward, instantly crushing a vast swathe of enemies. Given Hu Miao's current strength, dealing with Golden Immortals was almost always an instant kill.
Huang Shang used his Ghost Maze to trap a Demon Race Heavenly Immortal. His pitch-black, gleaming ghostly body swelled taller and taller, transforming into a powerful evil spirit. It charged over, wrenched off the Demon Race Heavenly Immortal's head, and swallowed it whole, devouring his Soul Body as well.
Boom! Boom!
Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm transformed into a giant dragon. Wherever its claws struck, the Demon Race members fell apart as if made of paper.
Ye Yunfei continuously unleashed Mental Force shackles and the Formless Mind Sword. Although the Demon Race Heavenly Immortals roared in fury, they were helpless against these attacks. They could only watch as Ye Yunfei's fists and sword beams smashed their demonic bodies to pieces.
The Nine-headed Divine Beasts jointly drove the dazzling Nine Palaces Totem Wheel forward with a thunderous roar. The Demon Race Heavenly Immortals simply couldn't withstand it, their bodies torn asunder by the colossal wheel.
Having refined too many Heavenly Immortal bloodline essences recently, the Blood Clan Clone's power had surged. Its current Bloodsucking Art could already affect the blood of Heavenly Immortals. Whenever the Clone approached, the blood within those Demon Race Heavenly Immortals began to boil violently, reducing their combat power to only sixty or seventy percent. They were no match for the Blood Clan Clone.
As fast as lightning—under the combined assault of Ye Yunfei, Huang Shang, Hu Miao, and Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm—the Demon Race forces on the platform began to crumble in less than two breaths of time.
Especially Ye Yunfei, with his formidable physical body, he feared no attack from the demons. Plowing through, wherever he went, he struck down one Demon Race Heavenly Immortal after another.
"Alright, I'll handle the rescue! You keep dealing with these demons!"
Ye Yunfei shouted. After all, his objective was rescue, not slaughter.
Ye Yunfei stepped to the side of the several thousand Snow Maidens.
"Since there's a chance, let's save them all!"
Ye Yunfei thought to himself, glancing at the terrified Snow Maidens.
He then used his abilities to teleport all several thousand Snow Maidens into the Mirage Tower. Ye Yunfei's spatial energy and spatial laws were excellent, and the Mirage Tower was a very advanced spatial treasure. The transfer was completed instantly.
"Done. The rescue is a success. Let's go!"
After transferring all the Snow Maidens, Ye Yunfei immediately called out to Huang Shang and the others.
Ye Yunfei knew the two Demon Race Demigods must already be aware of the disturbance here. If one of them rushed over, he and his companions might struggle to cope.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Understanding Ye Yunfei's intent, Hu Miao and the others wasted no time. As soon as they saw Ye Yunfei succeed, they rushed towards him at full speed.
Boom...
Ye Yunfei activated the Space Teleportation Token, initiating teleportation.
Swoosh!
The Space Teleportation Token whisked Ye Yunfei away.
Boom! Rumble!
Just as Ye Yunfei's figure vanished, a demonic hand laden with terrifying demonic power descended from the sky, striking the space where Ye Yunfei had just stood. It punched a pitch-black spatial rift there.
"Who is that kid? How dare he rescue them right under my nose!"
A Demon Race Demigod appeared on the platform. Seeing the heavy casualties among his Demon Race members, his face turned exceptionally gloomy, eyes burning with fury as he growled low in his throat.
"That kid possesses a highly advanced spatial teleportation treasure!"
The Demon Race Demigod gnashed his teeth.
"Wait... That kid's aura seems familiar... So it's him! Ye Yunfei from the Three Thousand Worlds!"
Finally, this Demon Race Demigod recognized Ye Yunfei's identity.
"Why would that kid come to the Ice-Snow World Cluster? And why would he rescue those Snow Maidens? Could it be he took a fancy to them?"
The Demon Race Demigod muttered darkly.
"Never mind that kid for now! Join forces to kill Old Man Bing!"
A voice sounded from the distance—the other Demon Race Demigod.
"Fine! We'll finish off Old Man Bing first, then settle scores with that kid!"
The Demigod on the platform nodded, his figure flickering as he charged towards the distance to join the attack on Old Man Bing.
"Ye Yunfei from the Three Thousand Worlds has appeared in the Ice-Snow World Cluster! Commence search operations immediately!"
At this moment, all Demon Race forces within the Ice-Snow World Cluster received this command.
Immediately, all Demon Race personnel mobilized, setting up checkpoints everywhere for inspections.
Ye Yunfei's portrait was plastered everywhere within a short time.
Ye Yunfei had just rushed out of the world where the auction was held when he saw groups of Demon Race forces running around searching, shouting about capturing the kid surnamed Ye!
"Seems the Demon Race is out to catch you," Hun Lao remarked.
"These amateurs can't touch me," Ye Yunfei sneered. As long as he didn't encounter a Demigod, he had nothing to fear.
Meanwhile, the beings who had attended the auction were fleeing that world one after another.
With three Demigods fighting inside, and their positions shifting rapidly, staying there made one liable to get caught in the crossfire. So everyone fled.
"Damn it! I won a Snow Maiden at the auction, but I hadn't even claimed her when this happened! Who knows if there's still a chance to go back and collect her!"
"What are you complaining about? You only got one! I spent a fortune to win two!"
The male beings who had successfully bid on Snow Maidens were all lamenting and sighing.
"That guy over there seemed to have won a very precious treasure earlier at the auction! That treasure is still on him!"
Ye Yunfei had used techniques to perfectly conceal his form and aura, disguising himself as an ordinary being mixing among the crowd that had just fled that world. Suddenly, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm pointed at a man ahead and sent a mental message to Ye Yunfei.
"Oh? Is that so? Then let's act. Subdue him and take everything he has!"
Ye Yunfei glanced at the man ahead, then sent a covert order to Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm and the others.
The next moment, Ye Yunfei unleashed Mental Force shackles and the Formless Mind Sword against this man.
Hu Miao employed her illusions, Huang Shang used ghost techniques, while Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm and Hun Lao employed spatial secret art.
Poor man. He was merely a Mid-level Heavenly Immortal. Faced with these varied, profound secret attacks from Ye Yunfei's group, he was instantly suppressed. Not only his body, but even his Soul Body was dragged into a bizarre illusion, unable to extricate itself.
Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm transformed into a streak of golden light that shot out, zipped around the man at astonishing speed once, and then returned to Ye Yunfei's shoulder.
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm race possessed an innate sensitivity to treasures. With a glance, it saw through where all the slightly valuable items on the man's person were stored and swiftly looted them.
Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei brushed past the man.
"What happened? I felt like several mysterious energies suppressed me all at once, immobilizing me. Or was I dragged into an illusion I couldn't escape? Was it an illusion, or did it really happen?"
The man regained consciousness instantly, appearing utterly bewildered.
The next moment.
Ah...
The man suddenly screamed.
"That damned thief took everything I had! That was most of my life's savings!"
Discovering all his valuables gone, the man couldn't help but wail.
"That guy bought two fairly precious treasures earlier at the auction, and later also won three Snow Maidens. His bidding was very generous; he's probably from quite a wealthy faction!"
By this point, Ye Yunfei was already ahead, blending into the crowd. Hearing the man's cries, he was just about to accelerate when Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm pointed at a young man in yellow robes nearby and sent another mental message.
"Oh? Alright then, take action!"
Ye Yunfei sized up the youth in yellow, considered for a moment, then sent the order.
The yellow-robed youth was a Low-level Heavenly Immortal himself. Close beside him followed an old man with Peak Heavenly Immortal strength, two old men at the High-level Heavenly Immortal stage, and four middle-aged men at the Mid-level Heavenly Immortal stage. Their overall strength was formidable—undoubtedly from some major power in the Chaotic Void Sea.
Boom! Rumble...
Ye Yunfei activated his Time Boots and stepped right behind the yellow-robed youth and his entourage. With a wave of his hand, he tossed out a large handful of formation flags, instantly laying down dozens of formations that swept forward.
Simultaneously, he unleashed Mental Force shackles and the Formless Mind Sword, attacking all the Heavenly Immortals at once.
Hu Miao, Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Huang Shang, Hun Lao, and the Blood Clan Clone also attacked together.
Although the yellow-robed youth's group were all Heavenly Immortals, who could have anticipated such a sudden, bizarre combination of attacks from behind? For an instant, the youth and his Heavenly Immortal followers were stunned, alarmed and enraged, unsure of what was happening.
Especially the attacks of the Mental Force shackles and Formless Mind Sword—they couldn't sense them beforehand nor defend against them. An invisible shackle clamped onto their bodies, restricting their movement.
Swoosh!
A golden light flashed. Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm had already rushed beside the yellow-robed youth, cleaned out everything on his person in an instant, then vanished into space.
"Who dares attack us!"
The Peak Heavenly Immortal old man following the youth raged as he struggled against the various odd attacks.
"Ah... Bad! Everything I had is gone!"
The yellow-robed youth also began to wail.
Having seen Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm succeed, Ye Yunfei had long since activated his Space Teleportation Token, instantly vanishing via teleportation.
"Someone appeared behind us just now! Seemed like a young man! It must be him causing trouble!"
The Peak Heavenly Immortal old man had vaguely caught a glimpse of Ye Yunfei's figure. He turned around, roaring in fury.
