That night, after the banquet concluded, a dozen of the beautiful palace maids personally led the way, bringing Ye Yunfei to a palace chamber to attend to him as he prepared to sleep.
Ye Yunfei, feeling no modesty, promptly dismissed all dozen maids.
Then, within the palace, he sat down cross-legged, entering a state of quiet rest and recuperation.
In his previous life, what kind of beauty had Ye Yunfei not seen? Countless saintesses from super sects, countless daughters of ancient and prestigious clans, had all taken the initiative to offer themselves, yet Ye Yunfei would not even spare them a glance.
Why would he place such simple beauties within his sight?
At a certain moment...
Suddenly.
A change flickered across Ye Yunfei's face. He retrieved a communication jade slip.
"Master, I have already delivered those spirit pills to the three Totem Beasts.
They were extremely excited and have already consumed them."
There was a message sent from True Beast Prince within the jade slip.
"Very good."
Ye Yunfei nodded with satisfaction.
As long as those three Totem Beasts had ingested the poisoned spirit pills, Ye Yunfei was confident he could deal with them.
"After one night, the medicinal potency should have fully taken effect.
Tomorrow, I can make my move."
Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
The next day.
Suddenly.
An elderly eunuch arrived in a hurry.
"Young Master Ye, His Majesty requests your presence."
The old eunuch spoke to Ye Yunfei respectfully.
"Oh?
The Emperor seeks me at this time? What might be the reason?"
Ye Yunfei was puzzled.
"This servant is not entirely clear.
I suspect His Majesty wishes to present some treasure to Young Master Ye in private.
After all, Young Master Ye is talented and promising, a young hero. In the future, you will certainly become a major figure dominating a region of our Tianxuan Continent."
That old eunuch said.
"Very well, lead the way."
Ye Yunfei said.
Ye Yunfei's courage was born of his formidable skills, so he felt no fear or apprehension.
A moment later, under the elderly eunuch's guidance, Ye Yunfei arrived at a traveling palace situated in a rather secluded location.
"Something is amiss!"
The moment he stepped into the traveling palace, Ye Yunfei immediately detected something strange.
The next moment.
Boom! Boom...
All around the traveling palace, five terrifying surges of spiritual pressure erupted like volcanoes, soaring skyward, rolling like a tide.
This expanse of heaven and earth was shaken into a rumbling din, thunder rumbling everywhere!
"Ye Yunfei, roll out here and accept your death!"
A wild laugh rang out.
Then.
A spiritual power great hand reached out to grab Ye Yunfei.
This single grab was like a volcanic eruption, like ten thousand horses galloping—its momentum was terrifying!
Ye Yunfei had long been prepared. Activating the Heavenly Shadow Robe, he took a single step backward, directly avoiding it.
The next moment.
Six masked individuals appeared around the traveling palace.
Every one of them was a master of the Yuan Foundation Realm!
Among them, two were mid-stage Yuan Foundation, and three were early-stage Yuan Foundation!
"Since you've come, why bother hiding your faces?"
Ye Yunfei looked towards those five Yuan Foundation Realm masters and sneered.
"Ye Yunfei, today is your day of death!
I know you cultivate some peculiar movement technique, but within this space, we have already set up a Space-Time Great Formation. There is no avenue for escape!"
One of them said coldly.
"Is that so."
Ye Yunfei said indifferently.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei's Soul Power had already been released, analyzing the Space-Time Great Formation that enshrouded the traveling palace.
"Let's make our move."
A Yuan Foundation Realm master said.
Boom! Boom...
The five Yuan Foundation masters simultaneously erupted, releasing a mountain-collapsing, sea-spilling spiritual pressure that shook the entire region into a rumbling tumult.
"Die!"
The five Yuan Foundation masters charged towards Ye Yunfei simultaneously, trailing five streams of energy smoke like signal pyres.
"Kill!"
Ye Yunfei let out a great roar and clashed with those five Yuan Foundation masters.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei had not yet fully analyzed the surrounding Space-Time Great Formation.
Thus, he couldn't flee into space.
He had to respond to the fight.
The joint assault of five Yuan Foundation Realm cultivators was far too terrifying.
Ye Yunfei unleashed all the martial techniques he had ever cultivated to face the enemies.
Boom! Boom...
From the center of the fierce battle, vast, rolling combat energy surged like deep chasms and great seas, radiating outwards in all directions.
"Die!"
Reaching the frenzy of battle, those five Yuan Foundation masters simultaneously roared.
Bang!
Ye Yunfei's body was blasted flying by the combined strike of the five Yuan Foundation masters.
Although Ye Yunfei's combat prowess was formidable, facing five Yuan Foundation Realm opponents at once was still somewhat harrowing.
Especially as two of them were mid-stage Yuan Foundation masters.
Most crucially, being unable to flee into space had significantly decreased Ye Yunfei's combat effectiveness.
Subsequently, Ye Yunfei was struck many times, becoming riddled with wounds.
However, having cultivated the Greenwood Emperor Body, despite sustaining continuous injuries, its terrifying restorative capabilities were constantly active.
Thus, Ye Yunfei was not in any major danger.
In fact, under Ye Yunfei's full-powered counterattacks, all three early-stage Yuan Foundation masters were heavily injured!
"How is this possible!
This brat's combat prowess is actually so fearsome!"
Those two mid-stage Yuan Foundation masters roared in anger.
"What exactly has happened?!"
By this point, the Emperor had rushed over with a large contingent of imperial palace guards, shouting loudly. The scene was chaotic.
"Scram!"
One of the mid-stage Yuan Foundation masters harshly shouted.
Rumble…
This mid-stage Yuan Foundation master released a rolling tide of spiritual pressure, crushing towards the Emperor and the imperial guards.
Ah… Ah…
One by one, palace guards were knocked flying, tumbling and falling in disarray.
"Five Yuan Foundation masters!"
That Emperor, after clearly seeing the situation, dared not approach any closer.
"Ye Yunfei, today, you are doomed!
Weren't you quite impressive in the Eastern Region?
Didn't expect it, did you? Coming to the Central Continent has turned into your burial ground!"
Those two mid-stage Yuan Foundation masters both laughed wildly.
"So it seems you must be students from the Eastern Region!
However, I think you're overestimating yourselves.
Trying to kill me with just you… is difficult."
Ye Yunfei instantly guessed the identities of these five Yuan Foundation masters.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei was already covered in wounds, but the powerful restorative capacity of his Greenwood Emperor Body constantly circulated, making his injuries not severe at all.
"Master, should we come out to help!"
Hu Miao asked.
Huang Shang was also somewhat worried about Ye Yunfei and prepared to emerge to assist.
"Unnecessary. Just them… still cannot kill me."
Ye Yunfei sneered.
The next moment.
"Finally, I can break through this Space-Time Great Formation!"
Ye Yunfei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
It must be known, as a Heavenly Emperor, Ye Yunfei's mastery of formations was supremely profound.
Merely the formation set up by these Yuan Foundation cultivators absolutely could not possibly stump Ye Yunfei.
Now, Ye Yunfei had thoroughly analyzed this Space-Time Great Formation surrounding him!
"All of you, what transpired today, I will remember it."
Ye Yunfei gave a cold laugh.
Then, his figure suddenly retreated. With each step back, he would tread upon a specific node of the Space-Time Great Formation.
Rumble…
The Space-Time Great Formation enshrouding the traveling palace trembled violently.
Then, Ye Yunfei directly exited the coverage range of the Space-Time Great Formation.
"How can this be?!"
Those five Yuan Foundation masters were all dumbfounded.
They simply couldn't believe it.
This Space-Time Great Formation had been obtained by them at great cost. They originally believed it could absolutely trap Ye Yunfei.
They never imagined Ye Yunfei would actually break free.
"Don't let him escape!"
The five Yuan Foundation cultivators, simultaneously shocked and enraged, deployed their movement techniques, desperately chasing after Ye Yunfei.
But now that Ye Yunfei had broken free from the range of the Space-Time Great Formation, he was like a dragon returning to the sea—far from something these Yuan Foundation masters could hope to catch.
Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei disappeared directly.
"I'll settle this debt with you!"
These were Ye Yunfei's parting words before he vanished.
