"It really is you, Young Master Ye! You came to help us after all!"
At this moment, sisters Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue finally believed it was truly Ye Yunfei who had arrived.
The two of them had once followed Ye Yunfei to roam the Chaotic Void Sea for a time. Back then, no matter what dangers they encountered, it was always Ye Yunfei who stepped forward to protect them, ensuring they came through safely in the end. Thus, in their hearts, as long as Ye Yunfei was present, they would inexplicably feel incredibly reassured.
"Oh no! Young Master Ye, this guy is a Demigod expert! A very strong one!"
It was at this moment that Xiao Huanyue and Xiao Yueyue suddenly remembered the Zhan Family Intermediate Demigod before them and cried out in unison.
"Don't be afraid. He's just a mere Intermediate Demigod."
Ye Yunfei smiled faintly, then turned his cold gaze toward that Zhan Family Intermediate Demigod.
At this moment, that Intermediate Demigod's palm was frozen and sealed solid in place, completely unable to be retracted. He was utterly terrified in his heart, his face a mask of fright.
In truth, his palm had been sealed there by Hun Lao using a secret racial technique of the Chaos World Tree, not by Ye Yunfei.
Recently, Hun Lao's strength had continuously risen, his spatial abilities growing ever stronger. He had even awakened several new, exceedingly powerful racial secret arts.
With Hun Lao's current spatial prowess, he was already capable of sealing an Intermediate Demigod's attack.
"So, how about it? Even if we run into an Intermediate Demigod now, I'm able to step in and help."
Hun Lao sounded somewhat smug.
"Old Hun, why are you starting to act like that Horned Golden Dragon Silkworm fellow now? You get a little achievement and you start strutting around."
Hu Miao couldn't help but laugh as she spoke.
"You speak your piece, why drag me into it?"
The Horned Golden Dragon Silkworm was displeased.
Faced with an Intermediate Demigod, Ye Yunfei, Hun Lao, and Hu Miao all appeared utterly relaxed, not taking their opponent seriously in the slightest.
ROAR!
Right at this moment, three Warbeasts behind this Zhan Family Intermediate Demigod suddenly lunged toward Ye Yunfei.
One of them possessed the strength of a Initial Demigod, while the other two were at the perfected Heavenly Immortal level.
Simultaneously, the other Zhan Family Demigod experts in the vicinity also sensed something was amiss. Several of them turned and charged over.
Ye Yunfei swung his hand, severing it through the air. Several thick streaks of sword light shot out, instantly cutting those two perfected Heavenly Immortal-level Warbeasts and that Initial Demigod-level Warbeast in half.
Instantly slaying three Warbeasts!
"You can go and die now."
Ye Yunfei turned his icy gaze toward that Zhan Family Intermediate Demigod and spoke coldly. Then he punched toward the man's head.
"Family members, hurry and save me!"
Feeling the terrifying physical strength emanating from Ye Yunfei's fist, this Zhan Family Intermediate Demigod turned ashen with fear, his face terrified as he screamed.
"Halt!"
Two other Zhan Family Demigod experts rushed over together, roaring in unison. But Ye Yunfei's attack was incredibly fast. His single punch smashed the Zhan Family Intermediate Demigod in front of him into a headless corpse.
"How is that possible?!"
The two Zhan Family Demigod experts who had charged over were startled by the sight, simply unable to believe a young man could so easily and casually kill an Intermediate Demigod with a single punch.
"Your turn."
Ye Yunfei's gaze swept toward those two Zhan Family Demigod experts who had just arrived, and he spoke coldly. Then he gestured with a slash.
BOOM! BOOM!
Two thick streaks of sword light whistled out, instantly cleaving one of the Initial Demigods in two.
The other was an Intermediate Demigod. Seeing the whistling sword light coming for him, a thought stirred in his mind, and immediately two Warbeasts jumped to block in front of him.
One of these Warbeasts was at the Initial Demigod level, the other at the perfected Heavenly Immortal level.
THUMP! THUMP! Two muffled sounds followed as both Warbeasts were simultaneously cut into four pieces by Ye Yunfei's incoming sword light, blood splattering wildly.
"He's too strong!"
This Zhan Family Intermediate Demigod turned pale with fright, frantically retreating.
But at this moment, Ye Yunfei had already employed the Heart Lock and Intangible Heart Sword to attack him simultaneously.
This Intermediate Demigod only felt his body stiffen, his speed beginning to slow. The next instant, Ye Yunfei closed the distance in a single step and punched, exploding his head.
Ye Yunfei did not obliterate his Soul Body. Instead, he seized it with one hand and handed it over to Huang Shang.
"From now on, don't just reflexively shatter the Soul Bodies of these Demigods. These Soul Bodies are incredibly precious cultivation resources for me. They are rare treasures, not to be found by seeking."
Huang Shang sent a mental message to Ye Yunfei.
Moments ago, he had just timely objected to Ye Yunfei's intention to destroy this Zhan Family Intermediate Demigod's Soul Body.
"Alright, I'll be more careful from now on," Ye Yunfei replied with a smile.
And so, in mere moments, Ye Yunfei had consecutively killed two or three Zhan Family Demigod experts, along with several Warbeasts at the Demigod level, shocking everyone present!
At this moment, all eyes on the battlefield focused on Ye Yunfei.
"Wonderful! Young Master Ye, your strength has actually become this formidable! We are saved!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei unleashing his might and consecutively slaying Zhan Family Demigod experts, Xiao Yueyue was so overjoyed she started clapping.
"Elder, we are saved! Young Master Ye has come to rescue us! Didn't I tell you before? Young Master Ye is very strong! Now you should believe me!"
Xiao Yueyue's gaze then turned toward Xiao Ziming as she called out loudly.
"As expected, just like the rumors say... He has already become this powerful? Even a Demigod expert can be instantly killed in a single move. Although my own realm and strength have increased rapidly over this past period, my current power is simply not worth mentioning compared to his."
Xiao Huanhuan's beautiful eyes watched Ye Yunfei, sparkling with admiration.
"Ye Yunfei from the Three Thousand Worlds!"
Having heard the words spoken earlier by Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue, Xiao Ziming had long since guessed the identity of this suddenly arrived young man.
Seeing Ye Yunfei's youthful appearance, his realm only that of a perfected Heavenly Immortal, yet able to slay two or three Zhan Family Demigods as soon as he acted, Xiao Ziming felt profoundly shocked.
"No wonder he, at such a young age, gained the allegiance of so many World Groups, who honored him as their Alliance Chief. Truly, a monstrously rare young talent!" Xiao Ziming couldn't help but think to himself.
"Young Master Ye? Could he be that Ye Yunfei from the Three Thousand Worlds?"
Not only Xiao Ziming, but Zhan Wu and all the other present Demigod experts also guessed Ye Yunfei's identity at this moment.
"Ye Yunfei! Why are you meddling in our Zhan Family's affairs and killing our Zhan Family members!" Zhan Wu stared at Ye Yunfei and demanded angrily.
"What do you mean 'why'? Your Zhan Family members wanted to kill Young Master Ye before. Now Young Master Ye is killing your Zhan Family members. It's called tit for tat!" Xiao Yueyue shouted loudly.
In the past, in order to protect sisters Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue, Ye Yunfei had indeed been hunted down by men sent by Zhan Yuan. Back then, Ye Yunfei had already developed a grudge with the Zhan Family. Thus, upon hearing Xiao Yueyue's words, Ye Yunfei did not refute them.
Zhan Wu and the other Zhan Family Demigod experts heard Xiao Yueyue's words and their expressions changed slightly, for they had also heard that members of the Zhan Family had indeed hunted Ye Yunfei.
"Zhan Yuan actually brought such a difficult-to-handle Harbinger of Death upon our Zhan Family! He truly is far too willful!"
Zhan Wu couldn't help but frown deeply. Truthfully, he felt that as a High-Level Demigod, he didn't need to fear Ye Yunfei. But right now, the Xiao Family also had quite a few Demigod experts present. With the power Ye Yunfei had just displayed, if he cooperated with the Xiao Family members, then the situation might become somewhat unfavorable.
"Ye Yunfei, the grudge between you and our Zhan Family isn't actually that deep, because there's no fundamental conflict of interest between you and us. So let's just consider the previous matter settled. If you stop interfering in our Zhan Family's affairs from now on, then the feud between our Zhan Family and you will be wiped clean."
Zhan Wu pondered rapidly for a moment before speaking up.
"Young Master Ye, you absolutely must not listen to him! The Zhan Family is infamous for holding grudges. Even the smallest slight is not something the Zhan Family easily puts aside—you can ask around anywhere and you'll find out. What he's saying now is merely a temporary delaying tactic! You've killed so many Zhan Family Demigod experts; the Zhan Family will absolutely not settle their grudge with you!" Xiao Yueyue hurriedly said to Ye Yunfei.
"Yueyue, if Young Master Ye is willing to settle his feud with the Zhan Family, we cannot stop him. We should let Young Master Ye decide for himself. Young Master Ye doesn't owe us two anything; we cannot force Young Master Ye to fight to the death with the Zhan Family on our behalf. That would be tantamount to dragging Young Master Ye into trouble."
At this moment, Xiao Huanhuan tugged Xiao Yueyue's sleeve from the side and sent a mental message.
"Ah... Well, alright, Sister Huanhuan. What you say makes sense. We cannot insist that Young Master Ye stand up for us just for our own safety—that is a very selfish act. Besides, Young Master Ye has always been so good to us two; all the more reason we shouldn't burden Young Master Ye with additional enemies because of our own circumstances."
Xiao Yueyue hesitated for a moment before nodding and replying via mental message. Then she fell silent and quietly took half a step back.
Ye Yunfei's Soul Power was immensely powerful, and his heart force energy had also improved significantly compared to before. How could Xiao Huanhuan and Xiao Yueyue's actions possibly escape Ye Yunfei's perception?
"Not bad. The two of them still have a bit of conscience. It wasn't in vain that I traveled all this way to save them."
Ye Yunfei nodded slightly to himself.
In truth, even without Xiao Yueyue saying anything, Ye Yunfei understood perfectly well in his heart that these traditional major powers often harbored deep grudges. Believing themselves to possess noble status, they were unwilling to ever suffer losses. Once others offended them, even if it were just minor matters, they would likely keep it in their hearts and enact cruel reprisals, all to demonstrate the prestige and dignity of a major power.
Ye Yunfei had already killed several Zhan Family Demigods. The grudge with the Zhan Family could not possibly be settled.
"My apologies. These two are my friends. I am here to help them. As for the grudge between your Zhan Family and me... I'm not very concerned about it."
Ye Yunfei answered indifferently.
"Ye Yunfei, it's best for young people not to act too arrogantly. You've already provoked so many major powers in the Chaotic Void Sea. Do you really intend to make our Zhan Family your sworn enemy as well?"
Zhan Wu's expression darkened as he spoke in a cold voice.
Ye Yunfei met Zhan Wu's gaze with tranquil eyes, and did not speak again.
