A terrifying wave of energy pressure swept across, once again sending Ye Yunfei and the others tumbling away.
Apart from Ye Yunfei and the Earth Demon Clan's Ancestor, the other True Gods all coughed up blood, clearly wounded.
"Young Master Ye, that pagoda is most likely a God King treasure. If we continue this fight, we certainly won't be a match," the Earth Demon Clan's Ancestor transmitted his voice to Ye Yunfei.
"Hahaha... Brat, you dared to go against our Autumn Wind Group. Now you know how fearsome we are, right? Our Autumn Wind Group is one of the mightiest superpowers in the Sixth Void. Did you really think we'd be so easy to provoke? Now prepare to pay the price," boomed the laughter of the Autumn Wind Group expert who had brought out the black pagoda, filled with satisfaction. He then activated the black pagoda again, suppressing it toward Ye Yunfei and his group.
"Everyone, take these healing pills first." Ye Yunfei had already quietly taken out a batch of recovery pills, sending them before the nine True Gods.
These pills were refined by Ye Yunfei himself, and their restorative effects were naturally superb.
The Earth Demon Clan's Ancestor and the other eight True Gods all perked up when they received the pills from Ye Yunfei. Having witnessed the effects of Ye Yunfei's divine pills before, they hurriedly swallowed them.
Ye Yunfei waved a hand, throwing dozens of puppets backward.
Clang! Clang! Clang...
The puppets were sent flying by the imposing black pagoda, but Ye Yunfei seized the opportunity to instantly set up a large number of Earth Formations and Formations.
These Earth Formations and Formations were specifically designed for teleportation.
"Still trying to set up Formations in front of me?" Seeing the Formations Ye Yunfei deployed, another Autumn Wind Group expert couldn't help but snort coldly.
Rumble...
The colossal black Formation Flag in the high sky continuously shook, releasing a surge of formation-breaking energy to dismantle the Earth Formations and Formations Ye Yunfei had deployed.
Ye Yunfei flicked his hand, and two True God-level Dao Soldiers shot out, simultaneously smashing into that giant black flag. The impact immediately caused the black flag to wobble.
This black flag's primary purpose was for breaking Formations, and its formation-breaking power was quite formidable. However, using True God-level Dao Soldiers against it, Ye Yunfei managed to interfere with its formation-breaking function momentarily.
"Damnation! What is this brat's origin, that he can casually take out two True God Dao Soldiers!" roared the Autumn Wind Group expert controlling the black Formation-Breaking Flag in fury.
True God-level Dao Soldiers weren't something just anyone could produce; only high-ranking members of major factions in the Sixth Void possessed them.
Rumble...
The Earth Formations and Formations deployed by Ye Yunfei erupted with immense teleportation energy, enveloping Ye Yunfei and the other nine True Gods, tearing through space to teleport them far away.
"Seal the space! Stop their teleportation!" shouted an Autumn Wind Group expert.
Then, all five Autumn Wind Group experts together released their time energy and spatial energy, attempting to seal off this space.
But Ye Yunfei's actions were too swift, and the power of his deployed Earth Formations and Formations was also very strong. They had already stepped ahead, teleporting everyone away from this space.
"Damn it!
That brat is too cunning! After them!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei's group break out again, the five Intermediate True Gods of the Autumn Wind Group were extremely furious, applying movement techniques to pursue Ye Yunfei's group.
Each of these five Autumn Wind Group True Gods possessed a flying artifact. Moreover, they continuously stuffed their flying artifacts with special divine energy crystals imbued with distinct energies and laws, making their flight speed terrifyingly fast.
"Those energy crystals must be Wind Energy Crystals, containing immensely powerful wind energy and wind laws. They enhance any flying artifact. Those fellows truly possess Wind Energy Crystals!" The Earth Demon Clan's Ancestor, sensing the crystals the five pursuers loaded into their artifacts, exclaimed in surprise.
"The Autumn Wind Group is the most infamous faction in the Sixth Void, known for countless misdeeds. But they've also amassed immense wealth, making them one of the richest major powers among us. It's not strange that they possess Wind Energy Crystals," one True God remarked.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei's entire group was aboard the Earth Demon Clan's Ancestor's flying ship.
The Earth Demon Clan's Ancestor pushed his ship to its fastest speed, yet the five Autumn Wind Group experts gradually closed the distance behind them.
"Young Master Ye, this isn't a sustainable course. Those five must have already sent a message back. By now, there could be more Autumn Wind Group experts, perhaps even Guardian Faction experts rushing here to deal with us. We must quickly figure out an escape plan," one True God watching the five relentless pursuers said worriedly.
Ye Yunfei furrowed his brows, also contemplating escape methods at this moment.
Facing five Intermediate True Gods, escape was no simple matter. Their perception and tracking abilities were formidable, and with their astonishingly fast flying artifacts, shaking them off was extremely difficult.
Ye Yunfei waved his hand, taking out a large batch of Formation Flags. He tossed them outside the ship, instantly setting up dozens of large-scale Formations.
"Brat, still trying to use Formations to block us?" Seeing Ye Yunfei's attempt to hinder them with Formations, the five Autumn Wind Group pursuers all showed expressions of rage.
One expert pointed a finger, and the giant black flag surged forward, instantly dismantling all the Formations Ye Yunfei had erected.
"The formation-breaking power of this Formation Flag is truly terrifying. The one who forged this flag must be a Formation Master far surpassing you in skill.
Truly, there are always greater masters beyond masters," Hun Lao couldn't help but sigh.
"Indeed. The skies beyond our skies, masters beyond masters," Ye Yunfei nodded.
As he spoke, Ye Yunfei tossed out another batch of Formation Flags, continuously deploying even more Formations, blocking the path of the five Autumn Wind Group experts behind them.
"Damn it! What is this brat's origin?
He seems to know everything—geomancy arts, Formations, Heart Force energy—and at a high level. What faction produced such a monster?" The five Autumn Wind Group experts grew extremely annoyed facing the endless stream of Formations Ye Yunfei deployed.
Though these Formations caused them no harm, they created significant interference.
"Young Master Ye, use your Formations to delay them. I'll see if I can make the ship fly faster to try and shake them off," the Earth Demon Clan's Ancestor, seeing Ye Yunfei's Formations effectively hindering the pursuers, perked up and spoke.
Then he desperately urged the ship to accelerate.
With a thought from Ye Yunfei, a compass flew out from within his body, radiating vast yellow divine radiance. With a hum, dense, mysterious symbols flew out from the yellow compass. Next, Ye Yunfei released a large group of earth dragons from the Shadow Tower, stomped his foot, and the earth dragons immediately merged with all the earth energy and earth laws present in the space around the ship. They formed one large Earth Formation after another, rumbling as they rotated, then rapidly hurled themselves back toward the five Autumn Wind Group experts.
Thus, as Ye Yunfei deployed an increasing number of Formations and Earth Formations, they created immense trouble for the five pursuers, finally forcing their flying artifacts to slow down.
"Excellent!" The Earth Demon Clan's Ancestor couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
Previously, the distance had been constantly closing. Now, with the five Autumn Wind Group experts slowing, the gap finally stopped narrowing.
However, the five Autumn Wind Group experts remained right behind them, difficult to shake.
Five powerful Soul Power energies continuously sensed and locked onto Ye Yunfei and his group.
"You could try using that Jade Ruyi; it might help shake those five off," Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm suddenly suggested.
"They're sticking close, constantly sensing my aura and tracking my position. In this situation, it's uncertain how effective the Jade Ruyi would be. Let's wait. At a moment when I suddenly break free from their sensing, then using the Jade Ruyi would likely yield the best results. Moreover, the Jade Ruyi is one of my greatest trump cards. Best not reveal it too early. We'll still have to deal with both the Guardian Faction and the Autumn Wind Group later. If they learn too soon that I possess a formidable concealment treasure, they'll be prepared in the future," Ye Yunfei replied.
"Hahaha...
Brat, reinforcements from our Autumn Wind Group have arrived! You have no way to escape!"
At this moment, sudden, proud laughter erupted from behind. One of the five Autumn Wind Group True Gods had laughed loudly.
"Not good! There are experts lying in ambush ahead!" Hun Lao urgently warned Ye Yunfei.
Indeed, Ye Yunfei also detected that some formidable auras had appeared ahead, seemingly lying in wait at a certain location.
Ye Yunfei immediately had the Earth Demon Clan's Ancestor change the ship's course, flying in another direction.
"Brat, I advise you not to struggle! You're already surrounded!
Our Autumn Wind Group has cast a net over heaven and earth. No matter where you flee, it's useless," shouted the five pursuers, noticing the ship's course change.
Not long after, Hun Lao detected several more powerful energy auras appearing ahead, indicating more experts blocking the path.
"It's possible experts from both the Autumn Wind Group and the Guardian Faction have arrived," Ye Yunfei speculated, frowning.
He then instructed the Earth Demon Clan's Ancestor to change the ship's direction again.
In the following moments, Ye Yunfei discovered more and more experts joining the encirclement, chasing and intercepting their ship.
Fortunately, at each critical juncture, Ye Yunfei deployed a large number of Formations and Earth Formations, blocking the pursuers.
Eventually, the ship carrying Ye Yunfei's group found itself completely surrounded by numerous experts. Everyone inwardly groaned, for no matter which direction they tried to fly, several experts were almost certainly blocking the way.
"Young Master Ye, it seems we can only choose one direction and fight our way out," the Earth Demon Clan's Ancestor said to Ye Yunfei.
"Right, Young Master Ye! Including you, we have ten True Gods here! Even in a direct clash, we should be able to carve a bloody path through. There's no need to fear them," the other True Gods also spoke up, one after another.
"Those five already have some understanding of our group's strength. The other experts they called in must also be fully prepared. If we fight head-on, we certainly won't have any advantage. We might instead be swarmed and completely surrounded," Ye Yunfei frowned, shaking his head.
Ye Yunfei knew both the Autumn Wind Group and the Guardian Faction possessed many True God-level experts. Now that these two factions deployed so many against their group, they must have made thorough preparations. Choosing a frontal assault offered little chance of victory.
"Hahaha...
Brat, you have nowhere left to flee! I advise you to surrender obediently! Struggling further is meaningless."
Just then, a proud laugh sounded from behind. The five Autumn Wind Group True Gods had closed in. Simultaneously, more and more figures radiating powerful energy auras emerged from other directions.
"Young Master Ye, many True Gods have arrived. I suspect there might even be Advanced True Gods among them," the Earth Demon Clan's Ancestor said with a grave expression.
"That's possible," Ye Yunfei replied, having already sent his perception far out. He detected several particularly fearsome auras striding toward their position.
"We are surrounded," Hun Lao transmitted to Ye Yunfei.
"Young Master Ye, we're likely in for a hard fight next. Now, no matter which direction my ship flies, it will face interception. The only way to break out is to force our way through," the Earth Demon Clan's Ancestor spoke again.
"Everyone, prepare yourselves. We are fighting our way out," Ye Yunfei nodded, then spoke aloud.
"Hahaha...
Brat, still attempting a desperate struggle?
Useless! Let me tell you, we have twenty-five True Gods here, over half are Intermediate True Gods, and one is an Advanced True God! With your group, there's no escape. Surrender obediently."
One of the five Autumn Wind Group experts who had been pursuing them earlier, now closing the distance to the ship, laughed triumphantly.
"Young man, did you recently cause the deaths of two True Gods of our Guardian Faction?
We've been looking for you. Now, come with us back to the Guardian Faction's headquarters to stand trial.
Don't worry. If it wasn't you, the Guardian Faction will not trouble you."
From another direction, a gigantic figure slowly manifested, releasing rolling waves of energy pressure bearing down upon the Earth Demon Clan's Ancestor's ship.
"Not good! An Advanced True God has indeed come!" Seeing the gigantic figure, the Earth Demon Clan's Ancestor could not help but exclaim in shock.
