At this moment, within this street, the fight between Elder Fang of the Heavenly God Hall and the figure wrapped in a white robe was intense. Elder Fang had no spare hand to deal with Ye Yunfei for the time being.
Ye Yunfei turned and walked towards the other end of the street.
“That kid wants to escape, let's move to stop him!”
Seeing Ye Yunfei attempt to leave, members of the Heavenly God Hall who followed Elder Fang spoke up immediately.
“Kid, where do you think you're going?”
An elderly man barked sternly at Ye Yunfei.
This old man was an Advanced Demigod. Though his strength level couldn't compare to Elder Fang's, an Advanced Demigod from the Heavenly God Hall was far from weak.
Boom!
As he spoke, the old man released his Soul Force Energy, transforming it into a huge, invisible fist that punched through the air directly towards Ye Yunfei's head.
The power of a Soul Force martial art unleashed by an Advanced Demigod was indeed terrifying. In an instant, Ye Yunfei found himself submerged by vast waves of Soul Force Energy.
Focusing his will, Ye Yunfei summoned a Soul Sword, which collided head-on with the invisible Soul Force fist.
Terrible Soul Force Energy diffused out in all directions, violently shaking the ghosts in the vicinity.
“Living beings disturbing the undead is an unforgivable sin!”
A sinister voice, belonging to the figure wrapped in a white robe fighting Elder Fang, cut through the air.
“I think we should leave here immediately. If we anger that guy, who knows what the consequences will be? After all, this is his territory!”
Hun Lao immediately transmitted his thoughts to Ye Yunfei.
“Alright, we'll first leave this city!”
Ye Yunfei nodded, then activated his movement technique and dashed towards the other end of the street.
“Where do you think you're fleeing, kid?”
The Advanced Demigod from the Heavenly God Hall pursued closely behind.
Other members of the Heavenly God Hall also gave chase.
Ye Yunfei focused his will, simultaneously employing Soul Sword, Formless Heart Sword, Heart Force Lock, and the Demon Heart Bell. Several different weapons attacked the pursuing Heavenly God Hall members at once.
Ye Yunfei's current Soul Force Energy and Mental Force Energy could even affect Advanced Demigods.
The pursuers from the Heavenly God Hall wore expressions of shock, their speeds slowing down. Under Ye Yunfei's barrage of attacks, they were all disrupted. Those Heavenly God Hall members with weaker strength had their Soul Bodies injured on the spot.
“Not good! This kid is too powerful. Not only is he proficient in Soul Force Energy, but Mental Force as well!”
“My Soul Body is already wounded!”
...
Screams rang out among the Heavenly God Hall pursuers.
With Ye Yunfei's speed being what it was, he distanced himself from these pursuers in an instant.
However, at that moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly noticed a large group of ghosts gathering together up ahead, rushing forward towards him.
Billowing gusts of Yin energy, immense and vast, completely engulfed the street ahead.
“Be careful! These ghosts seem intent on attacking you! There's no need to ask—it's definitely that white-robed fellow's doing!”
Hun Lao warned Ye Yunfei.
Just as Hun Lao finished speaking, the turbulent Yin energy surged towards Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei felt endless death energy and death laws attempting to invade his body and strip away his vitality.
“Such terrifying death energy and death laws!”
Ye Yunfei couldn't help feeling inwardly shocked.
“Use the Nine-Yang Ancient Scripture immediately. Overcome Yin with Yang.”
Hun Lao softly urged.
Ye Yunfei immediately activated the Nine-Yang Ancient Scripture. Nine massive golden spheres of light shot out from within his body, soaring skyward.
Two of these golden spheres shone with particularly dazzling radiance.
Ye Yunfei had re-cultivated the Nine-Yang Ancient Scripture, already having fused with two supremely pure Yang treasures, which essentially meant he had re-attained the scripture's second layer. However, up to now, he hadn't found any new pure Yang treasures for cultivating the third layer.
Upon Ye Yunfei activating the Nine-Yang Ancient Scripture, the ghosts ahead halted their advance instantly.
Ye Yunfei could distinctly feel the fear these ghosts emanated.
“They truly fear the Nine-Yang Ancient Scripture!”
Hun Lao exclaimed, somewhat excited.
Rumble...
Ye Yunfei strode forward, propelling the nine golden spheres spinning above his head.
The dazzling light radiating from the nine golden spheres instantly illuminated every nook and cranny of the street. The massive gusts of Yin energy and ghostly mist previously rushing towards Ye Yunfei now receded like ice and snow encountering sunlight.
“The Nine-Yang Ancient Scripture...”
At that moment, the white-robed figure engaged in battle with Elder Fang of the Heavenly God Hall suddenly lifted its head, revealing a pair of sinister crimson eyes—it appeared somewhat surprised.
Having unleashed the Nine-Yang Ancient Scripture, Ye Yunfei did not linger. Activating his movement technique, he left the street in an instant, rushing towards the city gates.
At this point, not just Ye Yunfei, but everyone who had entered the city to explore and seek treasure was pushing their limits to rush towards the city gates.
Now, every street in the city teemed with densely packed ghosts. Moreover, a figure shrouded in a white robe could be seen in each, brandishing a Black-White Rod and driving the ghosts forward.
The nine golden spheres above Ye Yunfei's head shone radiantly.
Ahh...
Wherever he passed, ghosts and towering waves of Yin energy continuously retreated, seeming greatly fearful of the nine golden spheres above Ye Yunfei.
“So it truly is overcoming Yin with Yang! The Nine-Yang Ancient Scripture is an exceptionally useful cultivation art!”
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm watched excitedly, exclaiming aloud.
However, at that exact moment, a figure wrapped in a white robe suddenly appeared ahead, holding a Black-White Rod, aiming it directly at Ye Yunfei.
“You've got to be kidding! Looks like this guy is coming for you!”
Seeing the white-robed figure blocking the path ahead, Hun Lao was the first to cry out.
“Since you're taking the initiative to provoke me, fine! I won't be afraid of you either!”
Staring at the white-robed obstacle blocking his way, Ye Yunfei's expression darkened.
Ye Yunfei believed that, while there was a gap between his current strength and Elder Fang of the Heavenly God Hall, it wasn't a vast chasm. If Elder Fang could fight that white-robed figure so intensely, he himself would surely have the ability to fight these white-robed figures.
Ye Yunfei hadn't intended to antagonize these beings initially, but now that the other party seemed intent on causing trouble, he clenched his teeth and struck without hesitation.
Rumble...
Ye Yunfei channeled power into the nine massive golden spheres above him, which rolled forward, imposing their might upon the white-robed figure.
That white-robed figure raised the Black-White Rod in its hand and began brandishing it vigorously.
Rumble...
The vast, gusting Yin energy within the street grew even more frenzied, swirling to form powerful energy tornadoes.
Multitudes of ghosts also issued piercing screams, whirling and rushing towards Ye Yunfei from all directions.
At this juncture, the ghosts' movements were no longer slow and stiff but became incredibly swift.
Ye Yunfei focused his will, causing the nine large golden spheres to rotate faster and shine with greater brilliance.
Moreover, a vast sea of raging flames began to spread throughout the street.
Focusing his will, Ye Yunfei directed the two brightest golden spheres to simultaneously press towards the white-robed figure while the remaining golden spheres rolled towards the swarming ghosts.
“Burn them with fire!”
At that moment, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm suddenly remembered the unusual flames Ye Yunfei possessed—especially the Mutant Flames obtained in the Fire World, which would certainly be devastatingly effective if used offensively.
“Good!”
Ye Yunfei nodded, promptly releasing every unusual flame in his possession, including the Mutant Flames from the Fire World. In an instant, seas of differently colored flames appeared around his body.
This immense sea of flames immediately ignited the surrounding ghosts, turning them into torches.
Expressions of terror appeared on the ghosts' faces as they retreated constantly, no longer daring to charge towards Ye Yunfei.
It turned out that these ghosts were not just afraid of Yang-aligned things—they also feared fire, especially unusual flames.
“This truly demonstrates the principle of the natural world—mutual generation and restriction. One thing subdues another. It's truly wondrous.”
Hun Lao remarked to Ye Yunfei.
“Indeed. These ghosts before us all belong to Yin attributes. Using Yang-aligned energy or fire against them is highly effective.”
Ye Yunfei nodded.
“It seems I should also seek out treasures specifically countering Yang-aligned energies and flames.”
Huang Shang, witnessing this, grew instantly wary, for he was a ghost cultivator who cultivated Ghost Force Energy and ghost laws, both belonging to Yin attributes.
“You're right, Huang Shang. Although your Ghost cultivation techniques are esoteric and potent, they would be countered if you faced Yang-aligned energies or powerful flames. You should prepare for this possibility.”
Ye Yunfei said to Huang Shang.
“The Nine-Yang Ancient Scripture truly lives up to its name.”
At that moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly heard a faint, sinister voice speak. He couldn't help but be stirred inside, casting his gaze toward the white-robed figure blocking his path.
“It seems this being possesses clear consciousness!”
Ye Yunfei had heard the sentence clearly. The white-robed figure before him had uttered it.
“Senior, I've entered this place by accident, with exploration and treasure-seeking as my only purpose. I absolutely did not mean to cause offense to you. I do not wish to engage in combat with you. I wonder if you could allow me to depart.”
Recognizing the white-robed figure before him had a lucid consciousness, Ye Yunfei spoke up.
“Living beings disturbing the undead is among the most unforgivable of crimes. Can that be pardoned?”
That white-robed figure spoke again.
Boom...
It swung the eerie Black-White Rod towards Ye Yunfei horizontally.
Suddenly, Yin energy, vast enough to engulf the entire street, blasted towards Ye Yunfei.
“Very well, Senior, since you insist on fighting, I'll have to offend.”
His expression darkening, Ye Yunfei unleashed Soul Sword, Heart Force Lock, Formless Heart Sword, and Demon Heart Bell, assaulting the white-robed figure simultaneously.
Afterward, he summoned four Soul Force planets, which violently crashed towards the white-robed figure's head.
Boom...
Drawing a Demigod-level longsword, Ye Yunfei executed the Great Method of Ten Thousand Swords Returning to One. He swung out an immense sword beam accompanied by a torrential flood of sword energy aimed directly at the white-robed figure.
The Great Method of Ten Thousand Swords Returning to One, combined with a Demigod-level sword, unleashed an exceptionally terrifying power.
The space in the street instantly split in two.
“So you are also skilled in Mental Force.”
As various Mental Force martial techniques launched by Ye Yunfei assailed it, the white-robed figure spoke in a tone of surprise.
While speaking, that white-robed figure brandished its Black-White Rod, actually managing to easily block each and every one of Ye Yunfei's attacks.
“This creature has high combat power, and this is its territory. The entire city is suffused with dense death energy and death laws. Fighting here for an extended period will put us at a disadvantage.
Let's have all of us attack together, repelling it so we can break through.
There's no need to risk our lives pointlessly.”
Hun Lao transmitted his idea to Ye Yunfei, Hu Miao, and the others.
“Agreed. Let's strike together to fight our way out.”
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Indeed, Ye Yunfei himself saw no need for a fight-to-the-death against this white-robed figure.
After all, this was inside the Reincarnation Passage; this creature might very well be associated with the Hall of Samsara. If he were to destroy it, he might face difficulties explaining things to Su Qingluo in the future. Therefore, Ye Yunfei didn't plan to continue fighting and simply desired swift escape from the area.
In the next moment, Ye Yunfei, Hun Lao, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Hu Miao, and Huang Shang all acted simultaneously, each unleashing their most adept martial arts and techniques.
Instantly, the street overflowed with an array of energies, shaking the surrounding space tremendously.
Under such a furious offensive, that white-robed figure and the throngs of ghosts crowding the street were forced into continuous retreat.
The endlessly wailing and swirling Yin energy was also repelled by the nine golden spheres spinning above Ye Yunfei's head.
By now, Ye Yunfei had already dashed to a position directly in front of the white-robed figure.
Hun Lao and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm simultaneously employed Spatial secret arts particular to their races. Instantly, they sealed off the spatial region where the white-robed figure stood, fixing it in place.
“Not bad.”
Unexpectedly facing such a frenzied assault, that white-robed figure seemed a bit taken aback, saying slowly. Its words actually carried a note of appreciation.
“Senior, excuse me!”
Ye Yunfei called softly, then stamped his foot down.
Rumble...
The entire street trembled as one earth dragon after another emerged, quickly arranging into a ground formation.
Meanwhile, vast geodetic energy erupted from beneath the ground of the street.
Actually, during his earlier actions, Ye Yunfei had quietly applied geomancy skills to lay down a large-scale ground formation.
With Ye Yunfei's present proficiency, he could establish a large ground formation even in the void, let alone on solid ground.
Additionally, Ye Yunfei waved his hand, tossing out a large quantity of formation banners.
These banners instantly erupted, weaving together to form over a dozen large formations, layering and enveloping the white-robed figure.
“This Black-White Rod is undoubtedly an exceptional magical treasure. Let's seize it.”
At that moment, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm fixed its gaze on the rod in the figure's hand and spoke.
