"Commander Ye, you're saying... that altar... has been shattered by you?"
Gu Chengzhu drew a deep breath and looked nervously at Ye Yunfei as he asked.
Everyone else also watched Ye Yunfei with bated breath.
"Yes.
The Teleportation Altar has been destroyed by me."
Understanding their anxiety, Ye Yunfei gave a firm nod.
Dead silence fell over the scene for a brief moment.
And then.
"Excellent! The Teleportation Altar has been destroyed!"
Someone suddenly roared loudly.
"Our Tianxuan Continent is safe!"
Then, almost everyone began cheering wildly.
Even Gu Chengzhu, one of the pinnacle experts of Tianxuan Continent, and the others were extremely excited, all loudly praising the accomplishment.
"Everyone, all of this is Commander Ye's meritorious service. Commander Ye is the savior of our Tianxuan Continent!"
Gu Chengzhu declared sonorously.
"Correct! Commander Ye is the great savior of our Tianxuan Continent!"
Countless gazes converged on Ye Yunfei, all brimming with feverish admiration.
"Commander Ye!"
An army roared in unison, the vast and mighty wave of sound soaring straight into the clouds.
"By the way, Commander Gu, I have already eliminated most of the Alien Forces. However, a small part has managed to go into hiding. Therefore, in the coming days, it would be best to send people to hunt them down and eradicate them completely, eliminating any future troubles."
Ye Yunfei said to Gu Chengzhu.
"Commander Ye, do not worry. I will spare no effort in pursuing the remaining remnants of those Alien Forces!"
Gu Chengzhu stated.
"Commander Cui, starting now, assist Commander Gu in tracking down those remaining Alien Forces. Inform me anytime if you need help."
Ye Yunfei said to Cui Tianguo.
"Commander Ye, I understand!"
Cui Tianguo nodded. Having already considered himself Ye Yunfei's subordinate, he naturally followed orders without question.
"Commander Gu, we, Hudao Academy, will also lend our assistance."
Xie Changkong walked over and said.
"Excellent! With everyone working together, we are sure to exterminate those remaining Alien Forces!"
Gu Chengzhu laughed heartily.
With the destruction of the Ancient Demon Race's Teleportation Altar, the crisis on the Tianxuan Continent had been resolved, and everyone was filled with excitement.
"Boss, you rock! You're completely my idol!"
Wu Heishan emerged from the army led by Cui Tianguo.
Following him, Xiao Hui, Wen Zi, Long Yingying, and Du Guhuan and Yuan Dayong also walked over, gathering around Ye Yunfei.
"Good."
Ye Yunfei used his Soul Power to sense their cultivation bases and nodded approvingly. The recent life-and-death battles had refined them. Each exuded a sharp aura and a decisive gaze. Moreover, their strengths had surged significantly. Actually, the one who surprised Ye Yunfei the most was Long Yingying. She had actually broken through to the early Mystic Liquid realm!
This cultivation speed left even Ye Yunfei astonished.
"Truly worthy of being one of the War Race lineage! Slaughtering on the battlefield best nurtures War Race bloodline talent."
Ye Yunfei nodded to himself.
"Ye Yunfei, where is Miss Su?"
Xiao Hui suddenly asked. News that Ye Yunfei had charged into the Western Sea to rescue Su Qingluo had long since spread.
"I'll let her out now."
Ye Yunfei smiled.
He then retrieved and activated a flying ship. Boom! The ship instantly enlarged. With a flash, Ye Yunfei entered the vessel. Inside were over a dozen women. Each possessed breathtaking beauty!
Ye Yunfei's gaze swept across and landed on Su Qingluo. And on Xia Feiyan!
When Ye Yunfei entered, all the women aboard looked towards him.
"Ye Yunfei!"
"Ye Yunfei!"
Su Qingluo and Xia Feiyan cried out simultaneously, overjoyed and hardly able to believe their eyes.
"Ye Yunfei, I knew you would come to rescue me!"
Su Qingluo smiled. She knew that once Ye Yunfei learned of her plight, he would certainly come charging madly to her aid.
"Of course I would. Even if I had to chase to the ends of the earth, even if I had to traverse all Three Thousand Small Worlds, I would come to save you."
Ye Yunfei laughed, walking up to stand before Su Qingluo. He used his Soul Power to check and found that aside from her cultivation being sealed, she had not suffered any harm.
"I believe you."
Su Qingluo smiled and nodded. Though it was a simple sentence, it made a profound, wondrous feeling of mutual understanding bloom in both their hearts.
"So, his feelings for Miss Su run so deep. Compared to her, I'm just an extra."
Xia Feiyan's beautiful eyes stared blankly at Ye Yunfei and Su Qingluo. She realized how deeply she envied Su Qingluo. Though she knew she was now safe, a sense of loss seemed to linger in her heart.
"Miss Xia."
Ye Yunfei smiled and nodded towards Xia Feiyan. He was aware of her feelings for him. But his heart belonged to Su Qingluo alone.
"Thank you, Young Master Ye, for saving us."
Xia Feiyan returned the greeting.
"He calls Miss Su 'Qing Luo', but addresses me as 'Miss Xia'. The difference in intimacy is so evident. It seems I hold no place in his heart at all."
The sense of loss within Xia Feiyan intensified.
Upon learning that Ye Yunfei had come to save them, the other women on the ship wept tears of joy.
"Alright. Let's go out now."
Ye Yunfei brought the dozen or so beautiful women out of the flying ship. He had Cui Tianguo arrange a detachment to escort the women back to their homes.
"Young Master Ye, I shall return to Blue Glow City now."
Xia Feiyan came before Ye Yunfei and performed a respectful bow.
"Your mother and Xiaoyu are currently in Hudao Academy in the Central Continent. Go there as well. From now on, you shall be a student of Hudao Academy."
Ye Yunfei said to her.
"A student of Hudao Academy?"
Xia Feiyan was stunned. For young people from the Eastern Region, gaining entry into Hudao Academy was akin to a carp leaping through the Dragon Gate—a momentous honor. She never expected to become a student herself!
"Let's go. We'll head for the Central Continent now."
Ye Yunfei announced.
Then, accompanied by Su Qingluo, Xia Feiyan, Wu Heishan, Xiao Hui, and the others, along with a contingent from Hudao Academy, Ye Yunfei set course for the Central Continent.
Over a dozen flying ships formed a line, soaring horizontally through the sky.
"Wait for me!"
Da Di Daozhang, who was trailing behind, caught up and also rushed aboard a ship.
Gu Chengzhu, Cui Tianguo, and the others stayed behind with their troops in the Western Sea, searching far and wide to pursue and eliminate the remaining stragglers of the Alien Forces.
A day later.
They finally arrived back at Hudao Academy.
Upon his return, Ye Yunfei received a rapturous welcome.
Elder He personally led a large group of Hudao Academy students, waiting outside the academy gates to welcome him.
Ye Tianpeng also brought members of the Ye Family to greet his son.
That day, the entire Hudao Academy was as jubilant as if celebrating a grand festival.
Simultaneously, news of Ye Yunfei destroying the Ancient Demon Race's Teleportation Altar spread like lightning across Tianxuan Continent.
The vast majority of the continent's inhabitants were swept up in a frenzy of celebration!
