Ye Yunfei released his Soul Power and scanned the cave dwelling once more but found no other treasures.
“It seems that after fleeing all the way to the Tianxuan Continent, this Dongyang Tianjun had already nearly exhausted the treasures on his person,” Ye Yunfei said, shaking his head.
“However, obtaining a Soul-Nourishing Tree is still a huge harvest,” Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
Afterward, Ye Yunfei walked out of the cave dwelling, jumped out of the stone coffin, and returned to the platform.
He saw that the nine generals were still guarding the perimeter of the platform, their nine pairs of sinister gazes fixed on him.
Yet, they did not take a single step onto the platform.
Because the formation array on the platform blocked them.
“This platform is piled up from Soul Stones. The quantity of Soul Stones here is enough for me to raise my Soul Power by one level,” Ye Yunfei muttered to himself as he sat cross-legged on the platform.
Da Di Daozhang had brought Ye Yunfei to this place precisely to find these Soul Stones.
This was one of the conditions for Ye Yunfei helping him refine the pill.
Therefore, Ye Yunfei naturally showed no politeness.
At Ye Yunfei’s thought, a powerful suction force erupted from within his Soul Sea.
Swoosh...
Immediately, massive amounts of soul force energy were drawn out from the platform, continuously pouring into Ye Yunfei’s Soul Sea.
The inside of this platform was constructed from densely packed Soul Stones, their number astonishing.
Whoosh...
As large amounts of soul force energy surged into his Soul Sea, the Soul-Nourishing Tree began to stretch its branches and leaves, seeming extremely comfortable.
Gradually, Ye Yunfei could feel his Soul Power steadily strengthening.
At the same time, Profound Yellow Starfield.
In front of a giant spatial rift.
“This time, I am sending the five of you into the Tianxuan Continent.
I have already borrowed the Sky-Shading Cover from the Tianji Sect.
Remember, the area the Sky-Shading Cover can shield is fifty miles.
When you engage Ye Yunfei, you must not leave a distance of fifty miles from the Sky-Shading Cover. Once you leave this range, you will be suppressed by the heavenly laws of the Tianxuan Continent.
In a light case, you will be crippled; in a severe case, you will lose your lives!
Of course, within the fifty-mile range covered by the Sky-Shading Cover, you can freely unleash your true power.”
A member of the Ancient Demon Race exuding terrifying demonic power pressure spoke. This Ancient Demon was none other than the famous Aoyue Demon King.
“Demon King Aoyue, we will remember!”
Five beings stood before the Aoyue Demon King, answering in unison. Three were from the Ancient Demon Race, two were human.
“Restricted by the heavenly laws of the Tianxuan Continent, the highest realm possible is the Grotto-Heaven Realm.
That Ye Yunfei, no matter how strong, at most possesses power equivalent to the Tenth-Level Grotto-Heaven Realm.
All five of you are at the Minor Mystic Pill Realm. If even then you cannot capture Ye Yunfei, then don’t come back unless it’s with his head in hand.
Naturally, if you complete the mission and bring Ye Yunfei back, I will reward you handsomely,” the Aoyue Demon King said.
“Demon King Aoyue, rest assured, we will definitely accomplish the mission!” the five beings responded in unison.
“Good.
I will personally send you across this spatial rift.
Once you enter the Tianxuan Continent, activate the Sky-Shading Cover immediately. This way, you can move freely within the Tianxuan Continent without restriction.”
The Aoyue Demon King stood up and said.
Then, with a wave of his sleeve, a piece of yellow cloth flew out.
“This artifact is the Sky-Shading Cover.
Guluo, your strength is the greatest. You shall control this Sky-Shading Cover.
Remember, the Sky-Shading Cover is a precious treasure of the Tianji Sect and is priceless.
This time, if not for Young Master Wu personally stepping in, relying solely on the reputation of our Ancient Demon Race, it would have been impossible to borrow the Sky-Shading Cover.
Therefore, you absolutely cannot lose it.
Otherwise, the consequences would be severe.”
The Aoyue Demon King waved his hand, and the piece of yellow cloth flew to an expert of the Ancient Demon Race.
This Ancient Demon expert was called Guluo, possessing mid-stage Minor Mystic Pill Realm strength.
Of the five beings sent into the Tianxuan Continent this time, he was the strongest.
“Demon King Aoyue, I understand.”
Guluo carefully stored the piece of yellow cloth.
“Alright, I shall send you over now.”
The Aoyue Demon King said.
He extended a demonic hand, which grew continuously larger, scooping up all five beings into his palm.
Then, his hand plunged into the spatial rift ahead.
BOOM...
From within the spatial rift erupted powerful repulsive energy and laws, attempting to push the demonic hand out.
Yet, the strength of this Aoyue Demon King was truly terrifying. Forcibly, he shoved his demonic hand deep into the spatial rift, extending all the way towards the opposite side.
“Demon King Aoyue’s power is truly astonishing!”
The five beings clutched in his palm were all astonished, holding the Aoyue Demon King in the highest esteem.
Moments later.
Finally, the Aoyue Demon King’s demonic hand forcibly passed through the spatial rift and reached the other end.
The other end was precisely the Hujie City of the Tianxuan Continent!
Rumble...
The energies and laws between heaven and earth surged torrentially, continuously crashing towards the Aoyue Demon King’s demonic hand.
The Aoyue Demon King felt it was getting harder and harder to maintain.
This was the heavenly laws of the Tianxuan Continent rejecting him.
The five beings at the Minor Mystic Pill Realm turned deathly pale with fear.
Because the heavenly laws of the Tianxuan Continent were frenziedly attacking them!
Their realms had already surpassed what this world permitted!
“Guluo, activate the Sky-Shading Cover immediately!” the Aoyue Demon King bellowed gravely.
Guluo immediately took out the Sky-Shading Cover, poured energy into it, and then threw it into the air.
Rumble...
The Sky-Shading Cover continuously expanded, transforming in moments into a vast expanse of yellow cloud, covering the sky above Guluo and the other four beings.
Immediately, Guluo and the other four Minor Mystic Pill Realm experts all felt a sense of relief all over their bodies.
They were no longer subject to any attack or rejection!
“The Sky-Shading Cover truly lives up to its reputation.
Alright, act immediately. Find Ye Yunfei at the fastest speed and capture him for me.
Also, Prince Tianmo is still alive. Bring him back as well,” the Aoyue Demon King instructed.
“Yes!”
Guluo and the other four Minor Mystic Pill Realm experts answered in unison, then proceeded forward.
Ahead lay a massive city.
Hujie City!
“Five Otherworldly beings are coming!”
At this moment, a large crowd of people already stood on Hujie City’s walls.
When the Aoyue Demon King’s demonic hand forcibly penetrated the spatial rift, the troops within Hujie City had noticed and rushed onto the walls.
Soon.
The five Otherworldly beings arrived before Hujie City.
“This is the city garrisoned here, blocking our Ancient Demon Race’s armies from entering the Tianxuan Continent.
Destroy it together.”
Guluo fixed a pair of terrifying demonic eyes on Hujie City and said.
Rumble...
The five Otherworldly beings attacked together—some with palms, some with fists, some with fingers…
An overwhelming tide of energy pressure swept towards Hujie City.
Immediately, the entire Hujie City began to crack and groan. Its high walls started collapsing and disintegrating.
Five Minor Mystic Pill Realm experts attacking together—the power was too terrifying!
“Hujie City is going to collapse!
Quick, everyone, leave immediately!”
Panicked shouts rang out within Hujie City.
Rumble...
After just a dozen or so breaths, Hujie City exploded with a thunderous roar.
Hujie City, which had guarded the Tianxuan Continent for long ages, was thus destroyed!
“Kill!”
The five Minor Mystic Pill Realm experts charged forward, killing whomever they saw.
The Tianxuan Continent troops fled desperately.
Moments later.
Hujie City was completely reduced to ruins!
“Let’s go, we are going to find Ye Yunfei!”
Guluo waved his hand and said.
The five Minor Mystic Pill Realm experts set foot on the land of the Tianxuan Continent.
“It’s a pity. Within the Tianxuan Continent, the Sky-Shading Cover can protect at most five Minor Mystic Pill Realm experts, and their highest realm can only be mid-stage Minor Mystic Pill Realm.
Otherwise, I would send a large group of Minor Mystic Pill Realm experts into the Tianxuan Continent, increasing the odds of capturing Ye Yunfei.”
The Aoyue Demon King stood before the spatial rift, muttering to himself.
“Demon King Aoyue, this time, I hope you do not disappoint Young Master Wu.
That Ye Yunfei killed Young Master Wu’s subordinate.
This is a crime of high treason.
Young Master Wu’s instruction is that he wants to see the person alive, and the corpse dead.”
A black-robed elder suddenly appeared beside the Aoyue Demon King, speaking gravely.
“Rest assured, this time, we will definitely capture Ye Yunfei!” the Aoyue Demon King said.
“Not just Young Master Wu, within the Profound Yellow Starfield, a whole bunch of old fogeys are pressing me to drag Ye Yunfei out from the Tianxuan Continent and hand him over for them to exact revenge,” the Aoyue Demon King mused inwardly.
Last time, Ye Yunfei had killed over a dozen core disciples from the major sects and clans of the Profound Yellow Starfield.
As a result, the experts from these major sects and clans all came seeking the Aoyue Demon King for an explanation.
In the end, the Aoyue Demon King swore that he would definitely capture the murderer, Ye Yunfei, from the Tianxuan Continent and hand him over for everyone to deal with.
Only then did the experts from those major sects and clans temporarily spare the Aoyue Demon King.
Remembering these matters, the Aoyue Demon King had a severe headache and simultaneously harbored immense hatred towards Ye Yunfei.
