"So it really is Ye Yunfei!"
Surrounding their family's wizard, several dozen high-ranking members of the Shen Family turned grim upon hearing his words.
"Although this Ye Yunfei only recently broke through to the Initial Demigod realm, his combat prowess is extremely odd. To deal with him, we must at the very least dispatch Advanced Demigods," the Patriarch of the Shen Family stated solemnly.
These Shen Family elders recalled the incident from not long ago when Ye Yunfei was besieged by dozens of Demigods during his Lightning Tribulation yet still managed to break through successfully. The fact that dozens of Demigods working together couldn't kill Ye Yunfei meant that now, if the Shen Family wanted to deal with him, they would have to send either greater numbers or even stronger Demigod experts.
"The enmity between this Ye Yunfei and our Shen Family is already deep. No matter what, he must be killed, otherwise our Shen Family will know no peace. From now on, spare no cost. Ye Yunfei must be eliminated," the Patriarch declared decisively.
Soon after, one by one, Shen Family Demigod experts led batch after batch of Shen Family troops as they departed from their headquarters. Furthermore, all Shen Family forces within the Qiancang World Group received transmissions and were mobilized almost to the last, tasked with searching for and pursuing Ye Yunfei.
The spiritual essence and appearance of Ye Yunfei's Soul Body were also widely distributed, nearly one copy to each person.
In no time at all, Shen Family troops searching for and hunting Ye Yunfei could be found all over the Qiancang World Group.
"The Shen Family is starting to panic." At a location within the Qiancang World Group, Ye Yunfei stood in the void, his figure hidden, watching a grand procession of Shen Family troops rushing past nearby with a cold smile on his face. The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm voiced the observation.
"We've already destroyed three or four worlds ruled by the Shen Family. Of course their high-ranking members are panicking," Ye Yunfei replied.
Before taking action, Ye Yunfei had long anticipated all of this. When he came to the Qiancang World Group this time, he didn't harbor the intention of exterminating the Shen Family as that would be somewhat unrealistic. However, Ye Yunfei had already made up his mind: he wouldn't rest until he had turned the entire Shen Family upside down.
"Their strongest is only an Advanced Demigod. If we're not going to attack now, then when?" the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm urged impatiently as that batch of Shen Family troops in the distance began moving away.
"Good. Let's be quick. Forget about the Shen Family members with ordinary strength for now. Concentrate our efforts on killing their Demigod experts. As many as we can," Ye Yunfei nodded. Then, with a flash, he caught up to the rear of that Shen Family contingent heading into the distance. Soul Power energy spread out, locking onto those Demigod experts among them, and then he struck directly.
*Bang!* With a single punch, Ye Yunfei directly shattered a Initial Demigod, then seized his Soul Body and handed it over to Huang Shang.
As Ye Yunfei attacked, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Huang Shang, Hu Miao, the Blood Race avatar, and even Hun Lao all joined in, launching ferocious attacks specifically targeting the Shen Family's Demigod experts.
After punching a Shen Family Initial Demigod into oblivion, Ye Yunfei immediately took out a large handful of formation banners and threw them out all around, setting up one formation after another. In an instant, this batch of Shen Family troops was completely surrounded within numerous interlocking formations. Simultaneously, he stamped his foot, deploying another five or six large earthbound formations that coordinated with the others to trap and attack the Shen Family personnel.
Then, Ye Yunfei immediately charged towards the leading Advanced Demigod at the very front.
"Ye Yunfei! It is you after all!" At this moment, the Shen Family's Advanced Demigod leading from the front, hearing the commotion from behind, immediately turned around. Then he saw Ye Yunfei charging towards him. Surprise and fury twisted his face, and he let out a roar.
"Indeed it is me," Ye Yunfei sneered.
Then, as he closed the distance, Ye Yunfei made his move. As soon as he attacked, he unleashed multiple cultivation arts and martial techniques, including Soul Force martial techniques, Mental Force techniques, swordsmanship, and Heaven's Way Palm, launching a frenzy of attacks.
"Too strong!" The Shen Family's Advanced Demigod, suddenly subjected to such a terrifying assault, turned pale with fright.
*Boom…*
A gigantic palm materialized above his head, radiating the auras of various Dao laws. The Heaven's Way Palm that Ye Yunfei employed now contained seven different Dao laws, making its power exceptionally formidable.
The moment the massive palm appeared, it immobilized the space around the Shen Family's Advanced Demigod. Immediately after, a thick sword beam cleaved through the void and slashed in front of him.
Of course, this Shen Family's Advanced Demigod was also quite powerful—he was, after all, born into a great clan and had cultivated many of the Shen Family's inherited techniques and secret arts. However, Ye Yunfei's offensive was simply too relentless and overwhelming. Following the Heaven's Way Palm and the Myriad Swords Return to One Great Art came the Yin Yang Divine Fist. A massive fist appeared, rolling forward and instantly cleaving the space in two, one half white, the other black.
After deploying the Yin Yang Divine Fist, Ye Yunfei then unleashed the Flying Sword technique. A flying sword shot out from between his eyebrows, carrying torrents of sword radiance as it slashed towards the Shen Family's Advanced Demigod.
The terrifying flying sword sliced through space as if cutting through tofu.
Ye Yunfei intended to resolve the battle swiftly, hence why he unleashed such a savage barrage right from the start. Furthermore, possessing two Soul Bodies and eight Soul Power Stars, he could simultaneously execute this many arts and techniques without any mutual interference, enabling him to bring out the full power of each technique without one overshadowing another. So possessing two Soul Bodies and so many Soul Power Stars not only allowed Ye Yunfei to cultivate several arts and secret techniques concurrently in his regular training but also enabled him to deploy multiple different arts and techniques simultaneously in combat.
Faced with such a multifaceted assault of Ye Yunfei's arts and martial techniques, the Shen Family's Advanced Demigod felt that despite having considerable abilities, he was momentarily at a loss as to how to defend, becoming flustered and at a loss.
"Argh!" With a cry, the Shen Family's Advanced Demigod was struck by one of Ye Yunfei's fists. His body was sent flying high, vomiting blood profusely, and his complexion instantly turned deathly pale.
Among all these attacks, physical strength was Ye Yunfei's primary mode of assault. Suppressed by the barrage of other techniques, this Shen Family Advanced Demigod basically had no capacity for resistance left and took the full force of Ye Yunfei's punch.
Then, Ye Yunfei pressed his advantage and within a few more moves, shattered the Advanced Demigod's body, leaving only a Soul Body behind.
"I can now fairly easily defeat Advanced Demigods, and win within an extremely short amount of time," Ye Yunfei thought to himself as he restrained the Advanced Demigod's Soul Body and handed it to Huang Shang.
"Huang Lao, after refining and absorbing so many Demigod Soul Bodies during this period, it must have greatly benefited your strength improvement, right?" Ye Yunfei asked with a smile.
"Yes, my strength has been improving continuously during this time," Huang Shang nodded.
"I can now face Advanced Demigods head-on in battle," Huang Shang added.
The other Demigod experts among this contingent had also been mostly eliminated, with only two Intermediate Demigods left struggling to hold their ground.
In a flash, Ye Yunfei appeared before these two Shen Family Intermediate Demigods, punching through each one's body and then grabbing their Soul Bodies, which he also passed to Huang Shang.
Then Ye Yunfei lightly stamped his foot.
*Boom…* The devastating attack energies of the previously laid earthbound formations erupted simultaneously, beginning to annihilate the remaining Shen Family members.
In less than ten breaths, this batch of Shen Family troops was almost completely wiped out, with only an exceedingly few managing to flee.
Next, Ye Yunfei took out the Space Teleportation Token and, together with Huang Shang, Hu Miao, and the others, instantly teleported away.
Almost the moment Ye Yunfei teleported away from that area, another group of Shen Family troops hurriedly arrived from afar. However, by the time they got there, all they found were corpses, scattered all over that region of the void.
"Search the area! That little bastard Ye Yunfei must be nearby!" roared the leader, a Shen Family elder, gnashing his teeth with fury, his face twisted in rage.
"Patriarch, we were a step too late. That lad Ye Yunfei was indeed in this location just moments ago," At this moment, the Shen Family Wizard led the Patriarch and several core elders as they rushed to the scene. They saw the corpses of the recently slain Shen Family members at a glance. Staring at the multitude of Shen Family dead, the expressions of these Shen Family high-ranking members turned extremely unpleasant. Their bodies trembled slightly with suppressed fury. They were itching to find Ye Yunfei immediately to exact revenge.
However, by then, using the Space Teleportation Token, Ye Yunfei had already arrived within a different world.
"Young Master Ye, this world is also Shen Family territory, specifically one they use for cultivating all sorts of spirit herbs. Additionally, this world contains numerous various energy crystal veins. The Shen Family stations people here year-round for mining operations," a Heavenly Immortal from the Alliance Army reported to Ye Yunfei.
Prior to this, Ye Yunfei had dispatched these Heavenly Immortals from the Alliance Army to thoroughly investigate the Shen Family's situation within the Qiancang World Group. Therefore, they were able to accurately locate Shen Family territories.
"Good. Then let's begin," Ye Yunfei said, releasing his Soul Power energy. He immediately discovered that there was a Shen Family Advanced Demigod personally stationed in this world, along with seven other Shen Family Demigod experts.
Ye Yunfei headed straight for that Shen Family Advanced Demigod. In less than two breaths, he charged into the secluded cultivation cave where the Advanced Demigod resided and directly initiated the fight.
Meanwhile, Huang Shang, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, Hu Miao, and the Blood Race avatar rushed towards the other Shen Family Demigods and attacked.
A fierce battle erupted instantly.
"You are Ye Yunfei!" As soon as Ye Yunfei made his move, that Shen Family Advanced Demigod recognized him.
Not long before, the Shen Family Patriarch and several core elders had already distributed Ye Yunfei's Soul Body essence and image to every Shen Family Demigod expert.
"Master, there really are lots of precious medicinal herbs in this world, and also many mineral veins containing rare metals. I also found several treasuries that seem specially designated for storing freshly mined energy crystals," Hu Miao excitedly transmitted to Ye Yunfei.
"Then quickly finish off the enemies, end the battle, and grab the goods," Ye Yunfei replied.
While speaking, Ye Yunfei launched a dominant attack against the Shen Family Advanced Demigod. In fact, Ye Yunfei was already somewhat familiar with the Shen Family's various arts and secret techniques, making the fight even more relaxed for him.
This Shen Family Advanced Demigod had already used a communication jade slip to send out word of what was happening here. He understood clearly in his heart that he alone couldn't possibly deal with Ye Yunfei, so his will to fight was not strong. While parrying Ye Yunfei's attacks, he retreated, looking for an opportunity to escape.
But Ye Yunfei was hardly about to let him go. He pressed the advantage step by step, and during the combat, deployed one earthbound formation after another to ensnare the Shen Family expert.
Shortly after, Ye Yunfei shattered the Shen Family Advanced Demigod's body, leaving only a severely damaged Soul desperately attempting to flee into the distance.
But Huang Shang's pitch-black, lustrous ghost body suddenly appeared before it, blocking its path.
Huang Shang certainly wouldn't miss out on a precious Advanced Demigod Soul. So, as Ye Yunfei was fighting the Shen Family Advanced Demigod, Huang Shang had been watching the clash. Once he saw the Shen Family expert's body explode, he immediately rushed over.
Soon, the Soul Body of this Shen Family Advanced Demigod was subdued by the combined efforts of Ye Yunfei and Huang Shang.
Afterwards, Ye Yunfei, along with Hu Miao and the others, took the fastest time possible to sweep up almost all the valuables within that world.
"That little bastard Ye Yunfei really was here!" Before Ye Yunfei could even leave the world, a Perfected Demigod expert of the Shen Family, leading a large batch of Shen Family troops, charged into the world with a murderous aura.
That leading Shen Family Perfected Demigod caught sight of Ye Yunfei in one glance, his eyes practically spitting fire.
Ye Yunfei's cold gaze locked onto the Shen Family's Perfected Demigod in the distance. With a mere look exchanged, he activated the Space Teleportation Token and instantly teleported away from that world.
Over the following period of time, Ye Yunfei appeared and vanished unpredictably within the Qiancang World Group, successively destroying several more Shen Family worlds, and even waylaid and slaughtered many Shen Family troops that were out looking for him along the way.
The turmoil stirred up by Ye Yunfei and the Shen Family had long since attracted the attention of other forces within the Qiancang World Group, all feeling astounded.
"That Ye Yunfei is really too formidable, a junior from the younger generation, yet causing this much trouble for the Shen Family. And it seems, so far, the Shen Family truly has been unable to do anything about him," many experts from other forces couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
"Mobilize all personnel! Immediately employ every means at our disposal! Spare no cost whatsoever! That little beast Ye Yunfei must be found! His body must be minced into pieces!" Later on, the Patriarch of the Shen Family, together with the family's Demigod experts and the clan wizard, appeared within the chaotic void of the Qiancang World Group. The roars of the Shen Family Patriarch practically reverberated throughout the entire Qiancang World Group.
The Shen Family's wizard, meanwhile, tirelessly divined Ye Yunfei's whereabouts.
"Esteemed guests, our Shen Family is in distress. We now ask everyone to lend a helping hand. Regardless of who, anyone who can help locate that youth Ye Yunfei, our Shen Family will surely offer generous rewards. Whoever can kill Ye Yunfei, our Shen Family will definitely provide rich compensation as thanks. Moreover, from that moment on, our Shen Family will owe you a favor." The Shen Family Patriarch's gaze swept over the other major powers within the Qiancang World Group as he proclaimed this in a ringing voice.
