Seeing Ye Yunfei panic like this, the seven Deities dared not dawdle. They immediately exerted their full effort, darting swiftly through the densely packed divine corpses while preparing to attack at any moment.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One wave after another of eerie energy erupted behind the seven Deities. Then, the divine corpses that had been floating motionless began to move slowly.
"Hurry and escape! They really are reanimating!"
Sensing the situation behind them, the seven Deities were so frightened the hairs on their bodies stood on end.
"Young man, wait for us!"
The seven Deities sent Sound Transmissions to Ye Yunfei as they fled, but Ye Yunfei paid them no mind and instead ran even faster.
Fortunately, this void region teeming with divine corpses wasn't too vast, and the oppressive Law of Gravity was no longer present here. Both Ye Yunfei and the seven Deities could move at great speed. After a short while, they managed to traverse the divine corpse region without major incident.
Looking back, they saw many divine corpses in that void space beginning to writhe slowly, a horrifying sight.
"Look! Thick white corpse-hair is rapidly sprouting on those divine corpses' bodies. It seems they really are reanimating," one of the seven Deities pointed at the corpses behind them and cried out in alarm.
Meanwhile, Ye Yunfei sped up, charging rapidly towards the exit of the True Phoenix Tomb.
"What are you still doing here? Hurry up and leave!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei accelerate and rush outward, the seven Deities immediately caught on. Each of them activated their movement techniques and followed behind Ye Yunfei, running forward.
"It seems this kid wasn't wrong. A terrible change has indeed occurred within the True Phoenix Tomb. Enough, let's not overthink it. We should just get out quickly. No matter what, preserving our lives is most important."
The seven Deities finally resolved to leave the True Phoenix Tomb. Without further hesitation, they followed Ye Yunfei at their utmost speed, charging towards the exit.
"Oh no! Who provoked these divine corpses? It looks like they're all coming to life! Run, quickly! With so many divine corpses here, if they really attack us, none of us will survive."
Just as Ye Yunfei and the seven Deities desperately fled into the distance, Ye Yunfei suddenly heard panicked cries erupting from the divine corpse region behind him.
"It seems others besides us also escaped from that continent," Hun Lao said, slightly alarmed, to Ye Yunfei.
That was because the divine corpse region contained the continent where the True Phoenix Divine Clan headquarters was located.
"It's not strange that others escaped. Most of those who entered the True Phoenix Tomb this time to explore and seek treasure came from major factions. They all have some trump cards, more or less. If pushed to desperation, they'll play them. Besides us, there are definitely others who could escape from that continent," Ye Yunfei stated.
And so, Ye Yunfei rushed towards the exit of the True Phoenix Tomb. Along the way, he encountered many other people also hurrying towards the exit. It seemed many besides Ye Yunfei had realized a terrifying change had occurred in the True Phoenix Tomb and that they must leave promptly.
"Wench, where do you think you're escaping to?"
Suddenly, Ye Yunfei heard a furious roar from a certain direction.
Looking over, he saw a woman with disheveled hair and ragged clothes fleeing in panic. Behind her pursued over a dozen Deities, each with ferocious expressions.
"Isn't that Big Sister Liu Ju? Why is she being hunted?"
The seven Deities following Ye Yunfei immediately paled.
"Damn it! Looks like those bastards are bullying Big Sister Liu Ju. We should hurry and help!"
"But there are eighteen of them in total, and we are only seven. Moreover, by the looks of it, those guys are all quite strong. We might not be a match for them."
"So what if we're not a match? Big Sister Liu Ju once helped us. How can we just stand by and watch her die?"
Upon seeing the hunted woman, the seven Deities immediately began discussing via Sound Transmission.
"How do we rescue her? With just the seven of us, we definitely can't defeat those guys. Only if we can drag this kid in front of us along to deal with those guys together would we have a chance of winning."
Suddenly, one of the Deities' gaze fell upon Ye Yunfei as he transmitted his thoughts to the other six.
"Ask this guy for help again? This guy only cares about money. Getting his help means paying again. We've already given him so many treasures. Do we have to give more? We entered this True Phoenix Tomb to explore and seek treasure with great hardship. Almost a third of what we've gained has already gone to him. That guy devours the meat and leaves no bones. Asking him for help isn't a good idea at all," someone immediately voiced opposition.
"But given the current situation, do we have a choice? Big Sister Liu Ju once helped all seven of us. Now she's in trouble. Are we just going to stand by idly? We have no choice. If the money's gone, so be it. We can earn more later. This kid is very strong. If he's willing to help, coupled with the seven of us, our chances are high. We can definitely save Big Sister Liu Ju."
Another person transmitted to the group.
"No way? Another deal with this kid? This cuts me to the heart!" someone exclaimed.
"Let me talk to him and see if I can persuade him to charge less this time," another said.
He immediately sent a Sound Transmission to Ye Yunfei, asking him to help rescue the woman being hunted in the distance.
"You want me to help again?" Ye Yunfei was taken aback.
"Yes. Big Sister Liu Ju once showed us kindness. We can't watch her die. Young man, please help us. We can offer a reward, but could you charge a bit less? We've already made two deals and given you many treasures," the Deity transmitting to Ye Yunfei said.
"Oh, I never thought you seven were actually so righteous and loyal. Very well, what treasures do you still have on you? See if they can move me. If they can, I might consider helping," Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
"Young man, we hope your price isn't too harsh this time. We entered the True Phoenix Tomb to explore and seek treasure. We've worked hard and finally gained some rewards. We'd still like to bring some back with us," the Deity communicating with Ye Yunfei said with a bitter expression.
After some haggling, Ye Yunfei obtained several treasures he was quite satisfied with and agreed to help.
Of course, what was more important was that Ye Yunfei had interacted with these seven several times and found them to be fairly honorable and true to their word. Thus, he had developed some goodwill towards them.
"I can help, but there's one point you must remember: I need to alter my appearance and Soul Body aura. You must conceal my identity for me. I don't want to make too many more enemies," Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and transmitted to the seven.
Then, Ye Yunfei's figure flashed as he charged into the distance, vanishing completely in an instant.
When he reappeared, Ye Yunfei had completely altered his appearance and Soul Body aura. He also activated a Concealing Talisman on his person, tightly masking his true aura, and used a Soul Power planet to simulate an entirely unfamiliar Soul Body aura.
"Alright, let's make a move!" Ye Yunfei transmitted to the seven Deities.
"The disguise technique this kid cultivates is incredibly sophisticated. If I didn't know beforehand, I definitely wouldn't recognize him as the same person," the seven Deities were astonished when they saw Ye Yunfei after his transformation, as they could no longer sense his true aura at all.
Once Ye Yunfei decided to act, he absolutely wouldn't drag his feet. His figure flashed as he rushed towards the woman being hunted in the distance.
"What are we waiting for? Let's all attack together! Those bastards dare bully Big Sister Liu Ju. We must show them what we're made of!"
The seven Deities didn't delay either, immediately activating their movement techniques and charging over.
Ye Yunfei's movement speed was faster than that of the seven Deities. He took the lead and arrived by the side of the hunted woman.
By now, this hunted woman had received the Sound Transmission from the seven Deities. Seeing help arrive, she calmed down considerably. However, when she saw Ye Yunfei, she was taken aback.
Because her perception discovered that Ye Yunfei was merely a Perfected Demigod.
"What are you all playing at? Didn't you say you found an exceptionally formidable helper? Where is he? The formidable helper you mentioned couldn't possibly be this kid who's only at the Perfected Demigod realm, could it?"
The woman named Liu Ju noticed that besides Ye Yunfei and the seven Deities, there were no other helpers. She couldn't help but send a questioning Sound Transmission to the seven Deities.
"Don't you dare joke around! There are eighteen Deities chasing me, six of them alone being Intermediate Void Gods. Even with you seven plus me, we wouldn't be a match for them."
Liu Ju said anxiously.
"Big Sister Liu Ju, rest assured. The helper we mentioned is this young man. You must not underestimate him. Although he's only a Perfected Demigod, his actual combat power is stronger than all seven of us combined. With him here, we have nothing to fear from those guys."
The seven Deities all had great confidence in Ye Yunfei because back on that continent, they had once fought with him and were all forced back with a single punch each. Moreover, after interacting with Ye Yunfei several times over this period, they discovered his true strength far exceeded his cultivation realm and was even stronger than an ordinary Intermediate Void God.
"What kind of joke are you all playing? You actually invited a Perfected Demigod? Doing this won't just harm him; it'll harm us too. Have you all lost your minds? Enough nonsense, let's escape quickly!"
After hearing the seven Deities' Sound Transmission, Liu Ju was both angry and frantic. She simply couldn't believe Ye Yunfei possessed much strength at all, stamping her foot in fury.
