"Young Master Ye, we'll soon arrive at the Guheng World Cluster! The Guild Leader and the others were ambushed within the Guheng World Cluster."
Roughly ten-some days later, Zhu Kun suddenly said to Ye Yunfei.
Not long after, a world cluster indeed appeared ahead.
This world cluster was relatively large in scale, containing at least several hundred worlds, bustling with people coming and going.
"Zhu Kun, you come out. Use your status as a high-ranking member of the Golden Dragon Merchant House to handle this matter."
Ye Yunfei teleported Zhu Kun out of the Phantom Tower and said to him.
"This time we not only want to find the Guild Leader, seek revenge on our enemies, but also establish the prestige of the Golden Dragon Merchant House, display our foundation. Only in this way will others fear and respect the Golden Dragon Merchant House in the future and dare not provoke us recklessly."
Ye Yunfei said.
"Understood, Young Master Ye."
Zhu Kun nodded.
Then, Ye Yunfei also teleported out over a hundred Heavenly Immortals and several hundred Golden Immortals from the Phantom Tower.
As for those Demigods, Ye Yunfei had them stay inside the Phantom Tower, to emerge only when needed.
Ye Yunfei and Zhu Kun walked together into the Guheng World Cluster, heading towards one of the larger worlds, soon entering this world.
"Guild Leader Jin and the others were in this very world at the time, conducting business, when they were suddenly besieged by enemies of unknown identity."
Zhu Kun reported to Ye Yunfei.
"Look at that person, he seems to be a high-ranking member of the Golden Dragon Merchant House!
He dares to show himself publicly, and brought so many people!"
Soon after Zhu Kun entered this world, Ye Yunfei heard people whispering in the distance.
"Young Master Ye, I often came to this world cluster in the past because our Golden Dragon Merchant House has a branch stronghold in this world, so many people here recognize me."
Zhu Kun transmitted his voice to Ye Yunfei.
"Ignore the others. Take me to the place where the Guild Leader and the others encountered trouble immediately."
Ye Yunfei replied.
Not long after, an ancient large city appeared ahead. On the city gate were carved three large characters: Resting Phoenix City.
"Young Master Ye, according to the message the Guild Leader sent me, Guild Leader and the others were discussing business within Resting Phoenix City when they were besieged by a group of masters of unknown identity."
Zhu Kun pointed at the large city ahead and said to Ye Yunfei.
"I have already sensed the Guild Leader's aura."
Ye Yunfei nodded, his Soul Power energy having long enveloped the entire city ahead, conducting a detailed perception of every location and space within it, and he discovered the unique aura left behind by the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm.
Having spent so much time with the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Ye Yunfei was already thoroughly familiar with his aura.
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm race possessed a very unique racial aura that was difficult to counterfeit.
"The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm already knew you would come looking for him, so he intentionally left a spatial marker behind."
Hun Lao suddenly said with a laugh.
"Yes, I've already seen it."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Then, Ye Yunfei swept his sleeve out, scooping up Zhu Kun and all the other Heavenly Immortals and Golden Immortals. With a single step, he activated the Time Boots, instantly entering the city's interior and arriving before a seven-story pink-colored high building.
"Young Master Ye, this Spring Splendor Court is a venue specifically for male beings to seek pleasure.
At that time, Guild Leader Jin was inside discussing business, which led to the ambush."
Zhu Kun stood beside Ye Yunfei with the Heavenly Immortals and Golden Immortals, saying in a low voice, his expression somewhat awkward.
For a merchant guild leader to come to such a place of debauchery to conduct business might invite ridicule if word got out.
Within this seven-story pink building were many young female beings, each dressed seductively and alluringly, posturing and gesturing coquettishly.
"No way, that fellow Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm actually chose this kind of place as the location for business discussions."
Looking at the bustling pink high-rise before him and the plaque on its main gate inscribed with 'Spring Splendor Court' in three large characters, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but give a wry smile.
"That fellow really knows how to enjoy himself."
Hun Lao said with a laugh.
"I never saw it before, that fellow is actually a lecher."
Hu Miao cursed.
"The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm indeed encountered trouble right here.
He also left a spatial imprint here."
Ye Yunfei's gaze looked upward towards the seven-story pink building. There was a very hidden spatial imprint there, emitting extremely faint spatial fluctuations.
This spatial imprint was hard to detect because it was left behind by the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm using a very unique spatial secret technique of his race.
If not for Ye Yunfei and Hun Lao's early familiarity with the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm race's spatial secret techniques, it would have been hard to discover.
"Honored guest, it seems this is your first time at our Spring Splendor Court.
Our Spring Splendor Court has a total of seven stories, each story a world of its own. From bottom to top, the spending varies for each floor.
The seventh floor's spending is the highest, and naturally, the quality of beauties there is also the highest. Whatever race of beauty you desire, we have them all, guaranteed to let you enjoy yourself."
While Ye Yunfei was using his Soul Power energy at the entrance to sense the entire seven-story pink high-rise from bottom to top, a woman dressed lightly and heavily made-up walked out from inside, enthusiastically greeting Ye Yunfei, and her body intentionally or unintentionally leaned towards him.
"Master, be careful. This bitch is releasing a kind of medicinal powder from her body. This powder can cause males to enter a state of hallucination, stimulating certain primal desires deep within their hearts."
Hu Miao immediately transmitted her voice to Ye Yunfei in warning.
"I have already discovered it."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Guild Leader of the Golden Dragon Merchant House encountered an ambush here, and not long after the incident, this place resumed normal operations.
This is a bit abnormal.
The mastermind behind the attack on the Golden Dragon Merchant House is highly likely connected to this Spring Splendor Court, possibly even its behind-the-scenes boss.
Time to act."
Ye Yunfei transmitted his voice to Zhu Kun.
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Zhu Kun stepped forward and suddenly reached out, grabbing the woman and lifting her as if holding a little chick.
"Your person in charge, come out here now!"
Zhu Kun roared, his voice like thunderclaps, rolling sonic waves shaking the seven-story pink building ahead.
All beings inside the building were startled.
"So you are here to cause trouble!
How dare you cause trouble at our Spring Splendor Court! You must be tired of living!"
The woman held by Zhu Kun was not afraid at all, screeching.
Boom! Boom! Boom...
The next moment, Heavenly Immortal experts rushed out one after another from the seven-story pink building.
Finally, a total of over thirty Heavenly Immortals and several hundred Golden Immortals rushed out, each releasing their energy pressure.
"I never expected a place like this to have so many Heavenly Immortals.
It seems its background is not simple."
Seeing this scene, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but give a cold laugh.
"Who exactly are you?
How dare you come cause trouble at our Spring Splendor Court? You truly are tired of living."
An elder with a gloomy face walked out, looking at Zhu Kun with sharp eyes.
"I am from the Golden Dragon Merchant House. Today I'm here to investigate the matter of our Guild Leader being ambushed at your premises.
Your Spring Splendor Court must provide a full account, otherwise, don't blame the Golden Dragon Merchant House for being impolite."
Zhu Kun stepped forward and said sternly.
"So it's people from the Golden Dragon Merchant House."
Upon hearing Zhu Kun's words, a flash of cold light flickered deep in that elder's eyes as he said with a cold smile.
"Your Golden Dragon Merchant House provoked some enemies and suffered retaliation, what does that have to do with our Spring Splendor Court?
If we are talking about accounts, your Guild Leader fought with others here, damaging many things in our Spring Splendor Court. I haven't even gone to your Golden Dragon Merchant House to demand compensation yet."
That elder spoke in a mocking tone.
"You're seeking death!"
Zhu Kun, hearing the elder's words, couldn't help but fly into a rage.
"Your Golden Dragon Merchant House is only a newly established merchant house, yet you're already putting on such an intimidating air?
However, our Spring Splendor Court doesn't wish to argue with your Golden Dragon Merchant House. You may leave."
The elder's expression darkened, wanting to flare up, but when he saw the many Heavenly Immortals standing behind Zhu Kun, a trace of apprehension appeared, and his tone softened a bit as he spoke.
However, no sooner had this elder finished speaking, than a large hand descended from the sky, exuding terrifying power, grabbing him up in one motion.
The elder was terrified to the extreme, wanting to resist, but he found himself unable to move a muscle, even unable to utter a single word.
"Master, let me deal with them."
Hu Miao appeared beside Ye Yunfei, casting illusion techniques. Instantly, all the people behind the elder fell into a dazed state. Ye Yunfei waved his hand, grabbing the elder and everyone else, teleporting them all into the Phantom Tower.
"Have you noticed, this seven-story building is actually a Space Treasure."
Hun Lao suddenly transmitted his voice to Ye Yunfei.
"Yes, I've already discovered it."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
In fact, by this time, Ye Yunfei had long been using his Soul Power energy to conduct a detailed perception of the building's interior, already knowing it was a Space Treasure, trying to find the Soul Power imprint left by its master within.
As long as he found the other party's Soul Power imprint, destroyed it, and then imprinted his own Soul Power imprint, he could take control of this Space Treasure.
"Kid, who are you?
How dare you covet my treasure!"
Just as Ye Yunfei's Soul Power energy searched everywhere within this Space Treasure, an angry voice sounded.
Then Ye Yunfei discovered a Soul Power imprint suddenly appear inside the building, violently crashing towards his Soul Power energy.
Ye Yunfei knew this imprint must belong to the master of this Space Treasure, and couldn't help but give a cold laugh.
Rumble...
A Soul Power star appeared, crushing that Soul Power imprint with a bang. Then Ye Yunfei immediately condensed a Soul Power imprint of his own, forcibly imprinted inside the building.
"Damn kid, trying to seize my treasure!"
An elder inside the building rushed out from a secret chamber, his face filled with fury.
This elder was a Perfected Heavenly Immortal.
"An entertainment venue like this actually has a Perfected Heavenly Immortal personally stationed here? Its origins are indeed not small."
Seeing this elder, Ye Yunfei gave a cold laugh. In the next instant, two Soul Power stars simultaneously attacked into the elder's soul sea. Before he could react, they devoured his Soul Body.
Then Ye Yunfei completely controlled this elder and also obtained his memories.
"So this fellow belongs to an ancient merchant house called the Myriad Methods Merchant House.
This Spring Splendor Court is actually a branch stronghold of the Myriad Methods Merchant House.
In the recent period, the Golden Dragon Merchant House developed too rapidly, competing with this Myriad Methods Merchant House in many worlds, thus incurring their wrath.
The Myriad Methods Merchant House set up a trap, luring the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm and several high-ranking members of the Golden Dragon Merchant House here for an ambush.
Moreover, besides this Myriad Methods Merchant House, another merchant house called the Eternal Fortune Merchant House was also involved.
The Myriad Methods Merchant House and the Eternal Fortune Merchant House jointly dispatched experts to besiege the high-ranking members of the Golden Dragon Merchant House, intending to annihilate the Golden Dragon Merchant House and then split all its assets."
After reading this elder's memories, Ye Yunfei immediately understood what had happened.
"Myriad Methods Merchant House, Eternal Fortune Merchant House, very well. These two merchant houses shall pay the price."
Ye Yunfei said with a cold smile.
At this moment, the seven-story pink building housing the Spring Splendor Court had completely fallen under Ye Yunfei's control.
This seven-story high-rise was actually quite a good Space Treasure. Each floor was a small space, equivalent to a relatively small-scale Small World.
According to that elder's memory, within the seven-story high-rise of Spring Splendor Court, each floor contained a large number of female beings. These female beings came from various different races, entertaining numerous male beings daily for their pleasure.
Among these female beings, some were voluntary for money, while others were forced, or even captured and brought here.
Besides these female beings, on every floor of the seven-story high-rise were also many male beings who came to play.
Ye Yunfei had Hu Miao employ illusion techniques, enchanting all the beings within the seven-story high-rise, causing them to fall into a comatose state. Then he stripped all valuables from the male beings and teleported them out, tossing them onto the street outside.
As for the female beings, he sealed them all.
Because many of these female beings belonged to the Myriad Methods Merchant House. If he let them go now, they would go report the news.
Ye Yunfei intended to release these female beings after the matter was settled.
Then, with a thought from Ye Yunfei, the seven-story high-rise housing the Spring Splendor Court began shrinking continuously, eventually becoming as small as a finger, and was put away by Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei took a step and instantly vanished.
The Spring Splendor Court had existed on this street for over a hundred years, yet now it disappeared in an instant.
"First, find out where the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm has gone."
Ye Yunfei walked out of the large city, muttering to himself.
According to the memory of the elder just now, at that time the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm and several high-ranking members of the Golden Dragon Merchant House were ambushed at the Spring Splendor Court, losing some personnel.
But the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm and several high-ranking members were fine. At the critical moment, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm employed a superb spatial secret technique, taking the several high-ranking members and successfully escaping.
Even now, the experts of the Myriad Methods Merchant House and the Eternal Fortune Merchant House were still hunting the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm and the other Golden Dragon Merchant House high-ranking members everywhere.
Ye Yunfei had already discovered from the spatial imprint above the Spring Splendor Court the direction in which the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm fled.
Ye Yunfei activated the Space Teleportation Token, teleporting into the distance.
A moment later, Ye Yunfei found another special spatial imprint left by the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm in another location within this world.
The aura of this spatial imprint was even fainter.
Ye Yunfei knew this was because the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm was covering his tracks, which was why he had placed such a faint-aural spatial imprint.
This kind of spatial imprint would be hard for even Demigod experts to discover unless they carefully perceived it.
It was precisely because Ye Yunfei and Hun Lao were too familiar with the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm's aura that they could find it.
"He seems to have left this world!
Go, we continue tracking!"
Finding this second spatial imprint pointing outside this world, Ye Yunfei followed its direction and left this world, arriving in the void outside.
Not long after, Ye Yunfei found yet another spatial imprint within the Guheng World Cluster. This spatial imprint pointed towards the Chaotic Void outside the Guheng World Cluster.
"It seems the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm has left the Guheng World Cluster already."
Ye Yunfei said to Hun Lao.
"But before leaving the Guheng World Cluster, I'll first eliminate all the industries and personnel of the Myriad Methods Merchant House within this world cluster."
Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
From the memory of the elder from the Myriad Methods Merchant House, Ye Yunfei already knew that the Myriad Methods Merchant House had two other branch strongholds within this Guheng World Cluster.
A moment later, Ye Yunfei entered another world within the Guheng World Cluster. Inside a rather large bustling city in this world, there was a complex of resplendent palaces.
This palace complex was a branch stronghold of the Myriad Methods Merchant House.
The person in charge of this branch stronghold was also a Perfected Heavenly Immortal, currently sitting within a palace, holding a meeting with several high-ranking members of this stronghold.
"Everyone, all the industries of the Golden Dragon Merchant House within the Guheng World Cluster have already been taken over by our Myriad Methods Merchant House. The only pity is that most of the assets within those Golden Dragon Merchant House industries were transferred in advance. We only obtained a small portion."
The person in charge of this branch stronghold said.
"Although we didn't obtain many assets, the most important thing is that we have eradicated the power of the Golden Dragon Merchant House within the Guheng World Cluster. In the future, there will be one less competitor, the Golden Dragon Merchant House, which is of great benefit to us."
A middle-aged man said.
"That makes sense.
The main reason our Myriad Methods Merchant House took action against the Golden Dragon Merchant House is precisely because the Golden Dragon Merchant House did not know its place, daring to compete with our Myriad Methods Merchant House on our turf.
A newly established merchant house simply has no qualifications to be mentioned in the same breath as our Myriad Methods Merchant House."
The branch stronghold's leader nodded and said arrogantly.
"Send the order, dispatch more personnel to search everywhere within the Guheng World Cluster, see if there are any remnants of the Golden Dragon Merchant House. Once discovered, execute on sight!"
This branch stronghold leader then said.
"By the way, Manager Liu, what happened after the Guild Leader of the Golden Dragon Merchant House fled the Guheng World Cluster?
Have our Myriad Methods Merchant House experts found him?"
Someone asked curiously.
"I just received news that several elders of our Myriad Methods Merchant House have already discovered the trail of the Golden Dragon Merchant House Guild Leader. Now a large group of experts has been dispatched, and we've also hired assassins from the Sun Moon Tower to join the hunt.
Rest assured, with our Myriad Methods Merchant House and the Eternal Fortune Merchant House, plus assassins from the Sun Moon Tower, killing the Golden Dragon Merchant House's Guild Leader is certain.
This newly established Golden Dragon Merchant House is definitely headed for annihilation.
This operation will let the world see clearly that only old-established merchant houses like ours possess the foundation to endure through the ages.
Newly established merchant houses that wish to compete with us old-established ones in the future will need to carefully consider their options."
The branch stronghold leader said with a cold laugh.
As soon as his words fell, he discovered two massive stars instantly rushing into his soul sea, emitting terrifying Soul Power fluctuations, attacking his Soul Body from left and right.
