Yuanyue City, Ye Residence.
Within Ye Yunfei's room.
Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged, motionless.
Then, at a certain moment.
Boom...
A powerful surge of Soul Power erupted from Ye Yunfei's head.
Centered on Ye Yunfei, this Soul Power rapidly diffused, piercing directly through the room and enveloping the entire Ye Residence.
Instantly, everything within the Ye Residence, every object, every affair, was laid bare under Ye Yunfei's perception, clearer than if seen with his own eyes!
Then, this Soul Power continued to spread, its perception extending beyond the confines of the Ye Residence.
It eventually enveloped some areas surrounding the Ye Residence as well!
Inside the room.
Behind Ye Yunfei's head, an ethereal white halo faintly appeared, imbued with a mystical quality.
This halo was formed from the overflow of Soul Power.
'After refining that True Soul Condensing Divine Pill, the effective range of my Soul Power perception has reached about one thousand meters.'
A satisfied expression appeared on Ye Yunfei's face.
Previously, the distance Ye Yunfei's Soul Power could perceive was merely a few dozen meters.
Now it was over a thousand!
'Hm?
There are people spying on our Ye Family!'
Ye Yunfei's expression suddenly turned cold.
Near the Ye Residence, several dark figures lay hidden in the shadows, monitoring the Ye Residence's movements.
'They're from the Yin Wind Mercenary Corps!
I never expected they would actually come to Yuanyue City.'
Ye Yunfei sneered.
Ye Yunfei could sense that the auras of those dark figures were very similar to the Yin Wind Six Ghosts he had encountered in the Heavenly Beast Forest several days before.
'The reason the Yin Wind Mercenary Corps has come to Yuanyue City is most likely because the other three families paid them to deal with our Ye Family.
Regardless, anyone who dares to trespass against my Ye Family will be shown no mercy!'
Intense killing intent surfaced in Ye Yunfei's gaze.
Then.
Ye Yunfei unleashed the Soul-Devouring Needle.
Ah! Ah! Ah!
Immediately, those several dark figures hiding near the Ye family began to scream, then their heads lolled to the side as they fainted.
Although these members of the Yin Wind Mercenary Corps weren't dead, when they awoke, they would be utter idiots.
Because their spirits had suffered severe damage.
With the massive surge in his Soul Power, the power of the Soul-Devouring Needle Ye Yunfei unleashed had also greatly increased!
'Since the Yin Wind Mercenary Corps has already arrived, the three major families could make their move against the Ye Family at any time.
I need to inform Father and have the Ye Family prepare.'
Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
Thus.
Ye Yunfei employed a secret Sound Transmission technique, sending a message across space to inform Ye Tianpeng of this matter.
At that moment, Ye Tianpeng was in the Ye Family's council hall, discussing the current situation with the seven elders, when he suddenly received Ye Yunfei's transmission and was utterly stunned.
'Fei'er, is that you speaking to me?!
How are you doing this?!'
Ye Tianpeng was shocked to the extreme.
It must be known, this was the legendary ability of transmitting one's voice over a thousand li—something only Saint Realm experts were said to be capable of mastering!
Ye Yunfei didn't explain to Ye Tianpeng, merely advising him to be vigilant of the movements of the three families and the Yin Wind Mercenary Corps.
'My son... I truly understand him less and less...'
Ye Tianpeng couldn't help but give a bitter smile.
Inside his room.
Ye Yunfei plunged himself into frantic pill refining.
With the increase in his cultivation realm, Ye Yunfei's pill refining became even more second nature.
After a day.
Ye Yunfei emerged from his room.
'Xiao Yue, take these spirit pills and deliver them to each of the seven elders. Tell them to seize the opportunity to break through their realms.'
Ye Yunfei took out seven jade bottles and handed them to Xiao Yue.
Each jade bottle contained several spirit pills.
The seven elders of the Ye Family were all currently at the Mid Earth Realm, and they had been stuck at this level for a very long time.
Ye Yunfei believed that with these pills, all seven elders could swiftly break through.
Once they broke through, the overall strength of the Ye Family would see a significant increase.
Of course, besides these seven bottles, Ye Yunfei had refined an even larger batch of other spirit pills.
Having once been a Pill Master, although his current strength was only at the Earth Realm, refining low-level spirit pills was as easy as turning over his hand for him, and his speed was extremely fast.
'With my current strength, dealing with martial artists of the Earth Realm is no problem at all.
But once I encounter a martial artist at the Heaven Realm, the outcome is hard to say.
Therefore, I must cultivate a few more martial techniques for self-protection.'
Returning to his room, Ye Yunfei began to ponder.
A moment later.
'Alright. The Spiritual Explosion Fist, the Primordial Essence Blood Disintegration Great Technique, and the Thousand Transformations Phantom Sword!'
Soon, Ye Yunfei selected three martial techniques from his memories.
From the perspective of Ye Yunfei, the Heavenly Emperor, these three martial techniques belonged to the garbage-tier.
But there was no help for it. Ye Yunfei knew that with his current pitiful strength, he could only cultivate these low-level, garbage-tier techniques.
'Well, let's start cultivating.'
Ye Yunfei muttered to himself.
However.
Right at that moment.
'Young Master Yunfei, there is a young lady named Su Qingluo outside the Ye Residence looking for you.'
A knock sounded outside the room, and a servant of the Ye family called out.
'Qingluo is looking for me?'
Ye Yunfei was taken aback.
Soon, Ye Yunfei arrived outside the main gate of the Ye Residence.
Su Qingluo, dressed in pure white, stood there with a transcendent, stunning beauty, her radiant elegance that seemed to outshine the world.
A woman around fifty years old stood beside Su Qingluo.
Ye Yunfei noticed that the gaze this old woman directed at him held a trace of disdain, even a hint of disgust.
'Did you need something from me?'
Ye Yunfei stepped forward, looked at the bright-eyed girl before him, and asked with a smile.
'Yunfei, I... I'm about to leave Yuanyue City.'
Su Qingluo's beautiful eyes were fixed on Ye Yunfei, full of reluctance.
'Oh?
Qingluo, where are you going?'
Ye Yunfei was startled.
In his previous life, Ye Yunfei had experienced the vicissitudes of the world, witnessed the myriad facets of human existence, and ultimately ascended to the position of Heavenly Emperor. His heart had long been tempered to a state of utter calm, like an ancient well without ripples.
Yet, faced with the pure and genuine affection of a young girl like Su Qingluo, he was still deeply moved and cherished it all the more.
'Impudence!
Do you know the status of our young lady? Do you think you have the right to call her by her name so casually!'
The old woman beside Su Qingluo's expression suddenly changed as she harshly rebuked him.
Simultaneously, an extremely terrifying pressure erupted and surged towards Ye Yunfei, bearing down upon him.
At that moment, Ye Yunfei felt as if a mountain was crashing down on him. He involuntarily retreated over a dozen steps, his internal Qi and blood roiling. At the corner of his mouth, a trace of blood began to seep out.
'Nanny Rong, stop!
If you dare attack Ye Yunfei again, I swear, I will absolutely not follow you back!
And in the future, I will beg Father to have you killed!
I mean what I say!'
Su Qingluo's face paled with fright. She rushed forward to support Ye Yunfei, then shouted at the old woman.
Clearly, she was genuinely furious!
'Yunfei, are you alright? It's all my fault.'
Su Qingluo looked at Ye Yunfei with a face full of apology.
'Old hag, mark my words. I, Ye Yunfei, swear this vow here and now: One day, I will personally cut you down!'
Wiping the corner of his mouth, Ye Yunfei stared at the old woman with an ice-cold gaze, enunciating each word clearly.
