"It was a few unfamiliar men. They said they were Young Master Wu's subordinates!
That day, Feiyan and Xiaoyu went out and were suddenly surrounded by a few strange men on the main street.
Those men said Young Master Wu had taken a fancy to Feiyan, and then they forcibly abducted her.
Those men were extremely powerful; Xiaoyu simply couldn't stop them.
After Feiyan was taken, our Xia Family immediately dispatched a large number of men to search for Young Master Wu's whereabouts.
But there have never been any leads.
Later, the Otherworldly Army attacked Green Cloud City, and I escaped with Xiaoyu.
From then until now, there hasn't been any news of Feiyan!"
Xiao Tianrong explained.
"So that's how it is."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Young Master Ye, those strange men said they were taking young miss back to be Young Master Wu's concubine.
Both the young miss and I resisted with all our might.
But they were too strong.
I couldn't withstand a single move before being knocked unconscious.
When I woke up, the young miss had already been taken away."
Xiao Yu spoke up, her voice still carrying lingering fear.
"Young Master Ye, you must save the young miss.
The young miss... she likes you very much!"
Xiao Yu bit her lip, blurting it out.
"Likes me?"
Ye Yunfei couldn't help but be taken aback.
"Xiaoyu is right.
Young Master Ye, ever since meeting you, Feiyan has thought of nothing but you.
This is something I took from Feiyan's room before escaping Green Cloud City.
She painted many portraits of you, and she often wrote your name on paper, spending entire days doing so."
Xiao Tianrong said with a sigh.
After speaking, she took out a spatial ring and gave it a light swipe.
A thick stack of xuan paper appeared, covered with many vividly lifelike portraits of Ye Yunfei and the repeated writing of his name.
Besides these papers, there were also a large number of embroideries, upon which many more portraits and names of Ye Yunfei had been stitched.
"Young Master Ye, I know that with your current strength and status, Feiyan is no longer a suitable match for you.
Only Young Lady Su Qingluo of the Central Continent's Su Family is truly worthy of you.
But for the sake of Feiyan's feelings towards you, I hope you can intervene and save her."
Xiao Tianrong pleaded.
"Alright.
Don't worry, I will find a way to save Feiyan."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
In this lifetime of rebirth, the only consort Ye Yunfei acknowledged in his heart was Su Qingluo.
As for Xia Feiyan, Ye Yunfei understood that he likely would not accept her.
But this affection, Ye Yunfei would remember it.
To be remembered by a Heavenly Emperor—for any woman in the world, this was a supreme honor that would bring incalculable benefits!
"By the way, what about Xia Tiancheng?"
Ye Yunfei frowned and asked.
Xia Tiancheng was Xia Feiyan's father and Xiao Tianrong's husband.
"As soon as Xia Tiancheng heard that the Otherworldly Army was about to attack the city, he immediately fled with Zhuo Tianli.
He completely disregarded me and Xiaoyu.
That man, I've seen his true nature clearly now."
Whenever Xia Tiancheng was mentioned, Xiao Tianrong's face was filled with anger.
"Alright, here's what we'll do.
I'll immediately send people to take the two of you to Central Continent's Hudao Academy.
In the future, you can settle there."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and said.
In these chaotic, war-torn times, Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Yu, alone and helpless, traveling out in the open would be far too dangerous.
"This...
Young Master Ye, you've just led the army and basically wiped out the Otherworldly Army in the Eastern Region.
The Eastern Region should be safe.
Perhaps staying in the Eastern Region would also be acceptable."
Xiao Tianrong was a bit hesitant.
"No.
Although the Otherworldly Army has suffered a temporary defeat, they will definitely come back.
Therefore, going to Central Continent is the safest option for you."
Ye Yunfei stated.
Ye Yunfei knew that the Ancient Demon Race would never give up so easily.
It was quite possible that the Ancient Demon Race's second wave of troops would soon enter the Tianxuan Continent.
After all, the Ancient Demon Race, as a major power in the Profound Yellow Star Domain, couldn't possibly have only this much heritage and strength.
Ye Yunfei understood that if it weren't for the restrictions imposed by the Heavenly and Earthly Laws of the Tianxuan Continent, the Ancient Demon Race could simply send a single Minor Profound Elixir Realm expert and sweep across the entire continent.
Above the Grotto-Heaven Realm was the Minor Profound Elixir Realm!
"The Otherworldly Army will come back?"
Both Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Yu were startled.
Finally, persuaded by Ye Yunfei, Xiao Tianrong agreed to go to Central Continent.
Ye Yunfei immediately dispatched six Grotto-Heaven Realm experts to personally escort Xiao Tianrong and Xiao Yu to the Central Continent Hudao Academy.
"Young Master Ye, you must save Feiyan!"
Before leaving, Xiao Tianrong implored Ye Yunfei once more.
"Rest assured, I will do my best."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Following this, Ye Yunfei led his army to sweep across the entire Eastern Region. Within a few days, he thoroughly cleared the Eastern Region of Otherworldly Army forces!
The Eastern Region was officially reclaimed!
Celebrations erupted across the entire Eastern Region as if it were a grand holiday.
The name Commander Ye resounded through the Eastern Region, chanted by countless people!
"Commander Ye, City Lord Gu has sent a message. He has taken his army to reclaim the Northern Wastes."
Suddenly, Cui Tianguo arrived before Ye Yunfei and reported.
"Hmm, then we'll head to the Southern Border."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and said.
"Pass the order. Everyone is to rest for one day.
We depart for the Southern Border the day after.
Also, distribute all the battlefield spoils confiscated as cultivation resources for the entire army."
Ye Yunfei commanded.
"Understood."
Cui Tianguo nodded.
"By the way, a few days ago, I had you send people to investigate Young Master Wu's identity and Xia Feiyan's whereabouts. What were the results?"
Ye Yunfei asked another question.
Several days ago, Ye Yunfei had ordered Cui Tianguo to send men to look into the matter of Xia Feiyan.
"I've already dispatched over a dozen groups of men to investigate that Young Master Wu, but so far, we haven't been able to identify his identity.
However, one thing has been discovered.
Namely, in the Eastern Region, over a dozen beautiful women have already been abducted by Young Master Wu's subordinates.
I suspect that this Young Master Wu is likely a scion of some major power or clan who, taking advantage of the chaos, has sent his subordinates to snatch beautiful women from various places."
Cui Tianguo replied.
"Continue sending people to investigate.
No matter the manpower or resources required, we must find this Young Master Wu.
No matter which major power or clan's scion he belongs to, I won't let him get away."
Ye Yunfei said coldly.
Ye Yunfei had already promised Xiao Tianrong that he would do his utmost to save Xia Feiyan. He couldn't very well go back on his word now.
"I understand."
Cui Tianguo nodded.
"You've already taken ten of those Purple Spirit Pills, haven't you?
Judging by your aura, you're about to break through to the Ninth-Level Grotto-Heaven Realm."
Ye Yunfei examined Cui Tianguo and said.
Some time earlier, Ye Yunfei had given Cui Tianguo a bottle of Purple Spirit Pills and told him to consume them.
The Purple Spirit Pill was a Seventh-Grade Treasure Pill. After consuming ten of them, Cui Tianguo would be able to break through to the Ninth Level of the Grotto-Heaven Realm.
"Yes.
Commander Ye, I have already consumed all the Purple Spirit Pills in the bottle you gave me during this time.
I have vaguely touched upon the opportunity for a breakthrough."
Cui Tianguo said excitedly.
"Good. Then go into seclusion to cultivate immediately. After you break through to the Ninth-Level Grotto-Heaven Realm, then head to the Southern Border.
An opportunity for a breakthrough is something one encounters, not seeks."
Ye Yunfei said.
Cui Tianguo was now essentially a capable assistant of Ye Yunfei, and Ye Yunfei naturally hoped his strength would be a little greater.
"I understand."
Cui Tianguo nodded, immediately turning around to enter seclusion to prepare for his breakthrough.
