In the next moment, that teleportation token unleashed a powerful wave of teleportation energy that enveloped Ye Yunfei's body and began the transmission.
The appearance of the teleportation energy caused a fluctuation of special energy within the space where Ye Yunfei stood.
Immediately, the gazes of all the powerful experts lying in ambush around the city turned towards the location from which Ye Yunfei had just teleported away.
"There's movement. It's possible that kid has already come out," a Blade Realm expert said darkly, his eyes fixed on the spot where Ye Yunfei had just been standing.
"Young Master Ye, is that you!"
At this moment, Elder Ruan also received Ye Yunfei's Sound Transmission, the main content being a message telling him not to wait any longer.
"Young Master Ye, there are many fellows lying in ambush around the city. The moment you rush out from within, they will make their move against you. Be careful," Elder Ruan immediately transmitted to Ye Yunfei.
However, Ye Yunfei had already long since teleported away and gave no response.
"Elder Ruan, did you receive a Sound Transmission from Young Master Ye?"
Seeing the change in Elder Ruan's expression, several other experts from the Wanmu Ancestral Land nearby immediately guessed what was happening and asked.
"Yes, I did receive a Sound Transmission from Young Master Ye," Elder Ruan nodded, his gaze fixed on the city ahead as he replied. "Young Master Ye said he is utilizing another method to leave this place. He told us not to worry about him and not to wait for him."
"Young Master Ye has another way to leave? The surrounding area of this city is tightly encircled by people from all the major factions. Their strength is considerable, and their perception abilities are extraordinary. It won't be easy for Young Master Ye to slip away from here unnoticed."
"A moment ago, I saw that some fellows have quietly arranged many restrictions and formations around the city. The moment Young Master Ye emerges from the city, he will immediately trigger them," one of the Wanmu Ancestral Land elders said.
"No, Young Master Ye might have already left," Elder Ruan said, looking at the city ahead.
"What? Young Master Ye has already left? How did he manage it?" The other Wanmu Ancestral Land experts were somewhat disbelieving.
"I believe he truly has already left. After interacting with him over this period, I have some understanding of Young Master Ye's character. I have helped him many times; he would not lie to me," Elder Ruan said.
"But with so many people encircling this place, how could he have managed to leave silently?" one elder asked doubtfully.
"Young Master Ye is not simple. He is not only exceptionally talented but also possesses numerous methods. Moreover, he should have already obtained Tianmu Shenjun's Pupil Technique Inheritance. It's possible that while obtaining that inheritance, he also discovered a secret method or passage to leave this place," Elder Ruan said.
"That's true. That's very possible," the other Wanmu Ancestral Land experts nodded in agreement after hearing Elder Ruan's words.
"Let's go. Let's make use of our time to visit other areas. We might still be able to gain some harvest," Elder Ruan said.
Then Elder Ruan turned and strode away, with the other Wanmu Ancestral Land experts quickly following him.
"Truly unfathomable! The Tianmu Divine Pupil Technique inheritance actually went to Young Master Ye," one elder sighed softly.
"When I first saw Young Master Ye, I performed divinations upon him. Young Master Ye is absolutely someone who possesses great fortune."
"Moreover, if he can grow smoothly, his future achievements will undoubtedly be astonishing. That is one of the reasons I chose to protect him."
"Of course, there's another reason: he once saved Wan Qing's life."
"Young Master Ye obtaining Tianmu Shenjun's Pupil Technique Inheritance is due to his own luck. Let's not dwell on it further," Elder Ruan glanced at the other Wanmu Ancestral Land experts and said.
The temptation of Tianmu Shenjun's Pupil Technique Inheritance was simply too great. Elder Ruan was not entirely certain if the other Wanmu Ancestral Land experts might have any ulterior thoughts.
"Those fellows from the Wanmu Ancestral Land have left. It seems they don't plan to wait for that kid surnamed Ye anymore."
"I think those guys know their Wanmu Ancestral Land is weak and alone. Staying here is useless, so they've chosen to leave first," a Blade Realm expert said with a cold laugh as he watched Elder Ruan's group fading into the distance.
"A moment ago, I clearly sensed an energy fluctuation near that pupil. That kid surnamed Ye should have come out. He must be lying low within the city, not daring to emerge," an expert from the Guardian Faction said, examining the pupil above the city and the surrounding space.
"Exactly. Just now, I also sensed an energy fluctuation there. Moreover, I vaguely saw a figure flash by. That kid should have emerged from within that pupil."
"But where is he hiding now?" The other experts also began searching for traces of Ye Yunfei.
"I think he's probably hiding somewhere inside the city, not daring to come out. That kid is very cunning; he wouldn't easily put himself in danger," someone said.
"With us blockading here, unless he never emerges, the moment he steps out of the city, he absolutely cannot avoid our notice. There would be no escape for him," someone else sneered.
Unnoticed, another two hours passed. These experts still hadn't seen Ye Yunfei emerge from the city.
"Does that kid intend to keep hiding inside the city, waiting for us to leave before coming out?" someone said impatiently.
"That's probably exactly what he's thinking. There are so many of us here, and he's alone against us all. Those fellows from the Wanmu Ancestral Land have already left and don't care about him anymore. Left on his own, he definitely wouldn't dare to face so many of us alone."
"So he must still be hiding in some corner of the city, perhaps observing our movements right now."
"This city contains highly sophisticated restrictions. Our Soul Power cannot penetrate it, so we can't locate his exact whereabouts," someone else said.
"I feel we can't keep waiting here passively."
"How about this: we divide our forces into two groups. Leave half of the people to continue blockading the area around the city, while the other half enters the city to search for that kid's whereabouts. That way, we avoid wasting time waiting indefinitely for him," an old man said slowly after some thought, looking at the lively streets within the city.
"Yes, that's exactly what we should do." Upon hearing the old man's suggestion, the others immediately voiced their agreement.
Soon, the people from the various major factions split into two groups. One group remained in place around the city, blockading against Ye Yunfei. The other group directly revealed themselves and began entering the city, starting to search everywhere within for traces of Ye Yunfei.
These experts from the major factions were all certain that Ye Yunfei was definitely hiding in some corner of the city at this moment, waiting for an opportunity to escape.
However, at this very moment, Ye Yunfei was already far away from that city, appearing above a certain white river.
Previously, Ye Yunfei had crossed this White River to enter the core area of Tianmu Shenjun's Cultivation Grotto.
At this moment, many beings were struggling forward within the White River.
Upon stepping into this White River, one would first be beguiled by one sophisticated illusion after another. Those without sufficient strength would be trapped within the illusions, unable to advance.
Of course, the moment one tried to retreat, these illusions would immediately disappear and posed no threat to life.
Upon reaching the central area of the White River, a large number of white, strange creatures would appear ahead to block the way. To proceed, one had to engage in battle with these white creatures, and only by slaughtering them could one continue forward.
After passing through the region with these numerous white creatures, one would encounter a strange opponent ahead—an exact replica of oneself. Only by defeating that bizarre duplicate of oneself would one be truly qualified to cross the river and reach the core area of Tianmu Shenjun's Cultivation Grotto.
Previously, Ye Yunfei had already passed the trials of this river.
Now, the first location Ye Yunfei teleported to using that Teleportation Token was this White River.
Within that Teleportation Token was a complete map of Tianmu Shenjun's Cultivation Grotto. Using that map, Ye Yunfei could teleport to any location he wished to go.
"Senior, allow me to take you across."
Arriving at the central area of the White River, Ye Yunfei looked at an old man not far away and spoke.
This old man was precisely Yang Feng, the patriarch of the Yang Family. Previously, with Ye Yunfei's assistance, Yang Feng had journeyed all the way to this White River.
He had exerted his full strength, taking a great deal of time and effort to finally reach the central area of the White River. He was currently locked in fierce combat with a white, strange creature that was an exact replica of himself.
However, this battle had been going on for a long time, yet he had been unable to achieve victory, only able to keep struggling on at this spot.
Gradually, he began to feel that his strength was running out. He was forced to retreat repeatedly under his opponent's assaults, appearing quite disheveled.
"I can't even defeat myself. It seems that with my capabilities, I cannot pass this river and enter the core area of Tianmu Shenjun's Cultivation Grotto," Yang Feng thought inwardly, sighing helplessly as he watched the other Yang Feng charging towards him.
"Forget it. Rather than wasting time here, I should turn back with my Yang Family members and visit other areas. Perhaps we can find more gains elsewhere."
"Maybe only extraordinary young geniuses like Young Master Ye, or experts from the great factions, are qualified to set foot in the core area of Tianmu Shenjun's Cultivation Grotto."
"I simply lack that qualification." Yang Feng was already starting to think of giving up.
Right at this moment, he saw Ye Yunfei hailing him.
"Young Master Ye, it's you!"
"Didn't you already pass the trials of this river before? I assumed you had already entered the core area of Tianmu Shenjun's Cultivation Grotto."
"Why are you still here? I've been fighting these creatures the whole time and didn't notice you," Yang Feng exclaimed in surprise upon seeing Ye Yunfei suddenly appear and quickly asked his questions.
