"Be careful, another one's about to attack you."
At that moment, Hun Lao suddenly sent a sound transmission to Ye Yunfei.
With a *crack*, the space at a spot above Ye Yunfei suddenly split open, and a long saber emerged from within, descending straight down towards Ye Yunfei's head from a high position.
Feeling the saber path energy contained within that blade, Ye Yunfei was startled. He quickly raised the long saber and long sword in his hands, blocking upward simultaneously.
At the same time as Ye Yunfei made his move, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm and Hun Lao also acted, deploying their spatial secrets to assist Ye Yunfei against the enemy.
*Clang!*
Ye Yunfei's figure was instantly sent flying backward.
"Brat, where did you get that treasure blade in your hand? And the saber technique you're using, who taught it to you?"
Immediately afterwards, a brawny, heavily bearded man appeared not far away, glaring fiercely at Ye Yunfei with his copper-bell sized eyes.
"This is a saber path expert," Hun Lao quickly transmitted to Ye Yunfei.
"Brat, you're actually cultivating both saber and sword techniques simultaneously, and your skill in both is not bad. But do you know that sabers and swords have never been compatible since ancient times? The Saber Realm and the Sword Realm are natural enemies. You'd best focus on only one of these legacies. If you choose the saber path, you will make the Sword Realm your enemy. If you choose the sword path, you become the enemy of all saber cultivators."
That brawny man stared coldly at Ye Yunfei as he spoke.
Hearing his words, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but be taken aback.
"This brat is an enemy of our Guardian Faction. Whether he cultivates saber or sword techniques, he must die!"
A middle-aged man in a white robe suddenly appeared, saying coldly.
He then stretched out his palm, thrusting it towards Ye Yunfei from a distance. Immediately, a giant palm imprint materialized above Ye Yunfei's head and began to enlarge. In an instant, the entire space where Ye Yunfei stood trembled violently as it rumbled down towards him to suppress him.
Ye Yunfei felt immense pressure.
"This palm contains highly advanced spatial laws. Its power is formidable," Hun Lao immediately said.
Following that, Hun Lao and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm simultaneously unleashed their spatial secrets to resist the giant palm imprint continuously pressing down from above.
Ye Yunfei, meanwhile, instantly used his Mind Reading Art to disrupt the thoughts of the white-robed middle-aged man, simultaneously slashing out with the saber and sword in his hands.
"Brat, daring to use both saber and sword techniques right in front of me is the greatest affront! Do you think I don't exist?"
Seeing Ye Yunfei attack, that brawny saber-wielding man's face darkened as he spoke coldly.
He then swung his long saber with a booming slash towards Ye Yunfei. A thick blade radiance instantly manifested, containing an overwhelmingly domineering saber path energy. The space where Ye Yunfei stood abruptly sank, as if it couldn't bear the weight.
"Enough talk! Kill this brat. That's our mission here."
At that moment, that member of the Demon Race seemed utterly impatient.
He took a step forward and stretched out a green demonic claw, grasping towards Ye Yunfei's head with a rumbling force. Instantly, numerous chains of green grand dao laws appeared, emanating a dense demonic aura.
Immediately after, three powerful beings attacked Ye Yunfei simultaneously. While Ye Yunfei's current combat strength was indeed considerable, facing the combined assault of three high-level Sovereign Gods soon became overwhelming, forcing him to retreat step by step.
"How is this possible? A mere junior at the Heavenly God level can actually hold out this long against the three of us?"
Even as Ye Yunfei was forced into retreat, the three attackers felt profoundly shocked.
"Young Master Ye, you're no match for these three joined together. Do not confront them head-on."
Right at that moment, Ye Yunfei received a sound transmission from Old Pan.
No sooner had Old Pan's words finished than a giant energy palm materialized in front of Ye Yunfei's body. It swept forward, intercepting the attacks from the three powerful beings for Ye Yunfei.
Realizing Old Pan was helping him, Ye Yunfei flickered and rapidly retreated. In an instant, he put distance between himself and the three attackers, then turned and fled.
"Brat, where do you think you're going?"
Seeing Ye Yunfei try to escape, the experts behind immediately gave chase.
"That brat must be killed. He is Ye Yunfei. He has already destroyed the Guardian Faction branches in the Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth Voids!"
A voice rang out.
"With just him? Does he have such capability?"
Upon hearing this, the Demon Race powerhouse chasing from behind showed a trace of surprise, then spoke again with a disdainful tone.
"It is indeed him, without a doubt. He has caused our Guardian Faction significant losses. On no account can we let him leave alive."
That same voice spoke again.
"It seems the people at the Guardian Faction headquarters have indeed been targeting you for a while," Hun Lao couldn't help but say with a wry smile.
"But that's hardly surprising. After all, you led the destruction of Guardian Faction branches across three voids, inflicting immense losses. It would be strange if headquarters *didn't* have their eyes on you."
Hun Lao added.
"I anticipated this long ago," Ye Yunfei replied.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei fled through the distant void at his maximum possible speed, with four swift figures hot on his heels behind him.
*Rumble...*
Suddenly, an immense surge of soul force energy caught up from behind Ye Yunfei. This soul force energy then morphed into a giant hand, attempting to forcibly invade Ye Yunfei's soul sea to attack his soul body.
With a thought, Ye Yunfei immediately conjured five soul spears behind him, attacking towards the large hand formed from soul force energy.
Although the pursuing experts surpassed Ye Yunfei in realm and overall power, their soul force energy wasn't significantly stronger, and the Soul Arts they cultivated were not markedly superior to Ye Yunfei's.
The five soul spears directly blocked the large hand.
Ye Yunfei then used his Mind Reading Art, beginning to separately disrupt the thoughts of the four pursuers.
Simultaneously, he employed other Soul Arts, continuously attacking their soul bodies.
This slowed down the four pursuers to some extent. In mere moments, Ye Yunfei had already distanced himself far from the location where Old Pan and the other ten powerhouses were battling.
The four pursuers followed closely behind, employing movement techniques to keep pace while launching various techniques and secret arts to attack Ye Yunfei from a distance.
They repeatedly tried to suppress Ye Yunfei using spatial and temporal secret arts, but with Hun Lao and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm present, they couldn't effectively use spacetime energy to press him down. Moreover, the spatial secrets deployed by Hun Lao and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm negatively impacted the movement speed of the four pursuers.
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm continuously generated numerous golden spatial restrictions. These golden restrictions hovered within the void, activating the moment the pursuers arrived. They transformed into weapons of various shapes to attack and seal the surrounding space.
While Hun Lao and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm's power was inferior to the four pursuers, their spatial attainments were uniquely profound.
"This brat's soul techniques are extremely strange; they can actually influence my thoughts. Could he be from the Soul Race?"
Constantly harassed by the Soul Arts unleashed by Ye Yunfei, the four pursuers began to grow somewhat flustered. One of them spoke up.
"He likely isn't. I can sense the native bloodline of the human race flows within him," the Demon Race member said in a piercing voice.
"Regardless of his race, we just need to eliminate him," another powerhouses declared.
"This brat is too slippery. We've been chasing for this long and still haven't caught him," another said impatiently.
"Let me take over. Their movement speed is excellent, and their perception abilities are exceptionally sharp. Under these circumstances, they can persistently track you. It won't be easy to shake them off," after another moment, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm transmitted to Ye Yunfei.
"You're right. It's a bit difficult for me to shake off these four. I'll leave it to you then," Ye Yunfei nodded after hearing him.
No sooner had Ye Yunfei spoken than the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm appeared beside him. Ye Yunfei immediately entered the Phantom Tower. The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm then transformed into a streak of golden light, carrying the Phantom Tower as he fled into the distance.
"That seems to be... a Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm, from the legendary ancient remnant beast clan?"
The four pursuers behind clearly perceived the actions of Ye Yunfei and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm. When they clearly sensed the Dragon Silkworm's appearance and aura, they all showed expressions of surprise.
"The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm Clan is an ancient exotic beast clan, now extremely rare in the world. Legend says they are adept with spatial energy. It's true. He's been using spatial energy and laws against us all along," another powerhouse said.
"Since we've encountered one, we should capture this Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm and take it back for taming. Their clan excels in spatial energy. Once truly mature, their power is formidable," one of them proposed.
"Puny characters like you want to capture and tame me? Just you wait! Your granddaddy will definitely teach you a lesson!"
Hearing the words from the pursuers, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm flew into a rage, jumping about furiously.
"We can't defeat them right now. When we become stronger later, we'll settle the score with them," Ye Yunfei, worried the Dragon Silkworm might turn back in a rage to fight the four pursuers to the death, quickly spoke to calm him.
"Don't worry, I know better than that. I'll ignore them for now, but one day, I will settle this account," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm stated.
"Stop talking so much! Just run! Those four behind are still chasing us. If they catch up, we definitely can't win," Hu Miao's voice spoke up.
"Don't worry. With me here, they won't catch us," the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm asserted.
After speaking, he began exerting his full power. Mysterious runes related to space continuously seeped out from his body.
Numerous crystalline and dazzling chains of spatial grand dao laws appeared around his form, shaking and clinking. These chains quickly assembled beneath the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm into a long bridge emanating dense spatial energy. With each step he took, this bridge carried his body forward through a large stretch of spatial distance, granting him astonishing speed.
"Damn it! The spatial attainments of the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm Clan truly are remarkable!"
Having chased for a while yet still unable to catch up, the four pursuers behind ground their teeth in frustration.
However, these four were also exceptionally fast and possessed astounding perception. Thus, a stalemate ensued: the four couldn't catch up in the short term, and the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm couldn't shake their pursuit.
Although inside the Phantom Tower, Ye Yunfei constantly employed various Soul Arts against the four pursuers.
"These guys are truly too annoying. Even I can't shake them off."
Gradually, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm also grew impatient.
"There's no helping it. They are indeed strong. Actually, achieving this much is already very impressive on your part," Ye Yunfei quickly offered consolation.
While the Dragon Silkworm's speed was somewhat faster than Ye Yunfei's, shaking off those four pursuers remained difficult.
"Young man, come over here."
Just at that moment, Ye Yunfei suddenly received a sound transmission.
"Who is transmitting to me?"
Upon receiving it, Ye Yunfei immediately looked in that direction, but saw nothing.
That transmitted voice felt somewhat unfamiliar, raising Ye Yunfei's suspicions.
"It should be someone I don't recognize," Ye Yunfei said to Hun Lao.
"Young Master Ye, you needn't worry. I'll help you shake off your pursuers."
Just as Ye Yunfei hesitated, that voice spoke again.
"What's the matter? Can't run anymore?"
At that moment, the four pursuers behind suddenly noticed the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm's speed seemed to have slowed slightly, and couldn't help but feel delighted.
"Trying to escape in front of us? Not so easy! Surrender!"
One of them shouted.
"Well? Should we go over?"
Seeing the four pursuers were about to catch up, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm asked Ye Yunfei.
"Let's go and check it out," Ye Yunfei gritted his teeth and told the Dragon Silkworm.
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm immediately shot towards the direction from which that earlier sound transmission had come.
