"Stop Ye Yunfei!"
The black-robed elder stared at Ye Yunfei, his face turning hideous as he charged towards him at tremendous speed.
The forces he had brought had already been reduced by more than half at Ye Yunfei's hands.
The other two Primordial Soul Realm experts also charged at Ye Yunfei from different angles.
"Ye Yunfei, take me with you!" Elder Tang Wu said to Ye Yunfei.
During the earlier fight, he had already witnessed Ye Yunfei's elusive and ghostly movement technique.
"Good."
Ye Yunfei waved a hand, teleporting Elder Tang Wu into the Phantom Tower. Then, like a bolt of lightning, he vanished into thin air.
"Damn it!"
The black-robed elder and the other two elders glared at the spot where Ye Yunfei had vanished, their faces extremely gloomy.
The three of them were dignified Primordial Soul Realm experts, yet they could do nothing against a single Grotto-Heaven Realm cultivator!
One hour later.
In a certain desolate wilderness area of Tianzhou.
Ye Yunfei's figure appeared. He waved his hand and teleported Elder Tang Wu out.
"Did we escape?!" Elder Tang Wu immediately asked, simultaneously releasing his Soul Power to sense their surroundings far and wide.
"Excellent! Ye Yunfei, you really got us out! Ye Yunfei, thank you. You saved us!"
Elder Tang Wu was extremely agitated.
"Elder Tang Wu, there's no need to be so polite," Ye Yunfei said with a smile, while also teleporting all the other Tang clansmen out. Roughly seven hundred of them!
"Everyone, rest assured. We are safe now!" Elder Tang Wu said clearly.
The Tang clansmen cheered one after another.
Earlier, the mountain hamlet where they had been in hiding was tightly encircled by so many enemies. Those Tang clansmen had all braced themselves for a fight to the death.
Who would have thought they would all be safe now!
During the previous battle, because Ye Yunfei intervened in time, the Tang Clan's casualties had been extremely low.
Such an outcome left each of these Tang clansmen profoundly moved.
"Everyone, we were able to escape safely entirely due to Young Master Ye's assistance. We must remember this great kindness!" Elder Tang Wu declared.
"Thank you, Young Master Ye, for your aid!"
The Tang clansmen all bowed respectfully towards Ye Yunfei.
"Please, there's no need for such formalities. For me, it was merely a simple favor," Ye Yunfei quickly replied.
"To you, it might be a simple favor, but for our Tang Clan, your help has been immense. The remaining members of our clan are few to begin with. If these clansmen today had also met with disaster, then our Tang Clan truly would have been finished," Elder Tang Wu said to Ye Yunfei sincerely.
These seven hundred Tang clansmen were the clan's final hope!
"Elder Tang Wu, what are your plans going forward?" Ye Yunfei suddenly asked.
"Going forward? Find a hidden and safe place to settle everyone down first," Elder Tang Wu pondered for a moment before replying.
"A hidden and safe place... I'll help you find one."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and spoke.
"You'll find one for me?" Elder Tang Wu was taken aback.
"Indeed."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Elder Tang Wu, you all enter my spatial treasure first," Ye Yunfei said to Elder Tang Wu.
"Good."
Elder Tang Wu nodded.
Thus, Ye Yunfei teleported these Tang clansmen back into the Phantom Tower.
Next, Ye Yunfei stamped his foot.
Roar...
The Earth Dragon emerged from beneath the earth.
For safety's sake, Ye Yunfei didn't let the Earth Dragon stay in the Phantom Tower. Instead, he had it follow him from underground.
This way, if they encountered enemies, the Earth Dragon could launch a surprise attack from beneath the earth.
Only within the earth could the Earth Dragon unleash its greatest battle strength!
Ye Yunfei's figure flashed as he stood atop the Earth Dragon's head.
Then, the Earth Dragon carried Ye Yunfei down into the earth, moving rapidly through the ground.
Ye Yunfei extended his Soul Power far outward, sensing the conditions of the earth below.
An hour later.
"Hmm? At that location, two thousand meters underground, there's a large cave!"
Ye Yunfei suddenly looked delighted, his gaze turning towards a particular direction.
The Earth Dragon immediately turned and charged in that direction.
A short while later.
The Earth Dragon brought Ye Yunfei into a large underground cavern.
Truthfully, such caves weren't uncommon deep within the earth.
It was just that ordinary people couldn't discover them.
"This place isn't bad. Both hidden and safe. It's suitable for the Tang clansmen to live in seclusion."
Ye Yunfei sized up the underground cave and found it quite satisfactory.
"It just needs some good arranging."
After thinking it over, Ye Yunfei took out a large handful of Formation Flags.
Whoosh, whoosh…
Ye Yunfei tossed one Formation Flag after another, inserting them into the space around the cave.
A short while later.
Boom…
A large-scale formation materialized.
Boom…
As this formation appeared, the earth energy essence from dozens of miles around in this underground world began converging unceasingly towards this cavern.
Very soon, the amount of Spiritual Qi within the cave became increasingly dense.
Moreover, the space was brightly lit, the air was fresh, and even numerous flowers and grass began to grow.
This was mainly because the energy essence of the nearby earth was constantly gathering here, filling the cave with rich vitality.
"The Spirit-Gathering Formation recorded in Geomancy works quite well."
Ye Yunfei was very satisfied.
This formation was one Ye Yunfei had set up based on records from Geomancy, specifically for creating habitable spaces underground.
"A tunnel also needs to be opened up. That way, the Tang clansmen can freely come and go from this cave," Ye Yunfei murmured.
Then, Ye Yunfei willed a command to the Earth Dragon.
Boom…
The Earth Dragon began to work, excavating a passageway connecting this underground cavern to the surface.
Above this underground cavern was a stretch of rolling hills.
Ye Yunfei selected a narrow valley covered in marshland as the exit.
He also had Hu Miao emerge to set up several illusion formations, completely concealing the exit.
Afterwards, Ye Yunfei returned to the underground cavern. With a wave of his hand, he teleported all the Tang clansmen out of the Phantom Tower.
"What place is this?"
Elder Tang Wu inspected their surroundings, feeling both delight and confusion.
"An underground cave, Elder Tang Wu. Take a good look at the environment here. See if it satisfies you," Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
"Such dense Spiritual Qi! This environment is excellent!"
Elder Tang Wu examined the cave and repeatedly praised it.
"Good! From now on, we will temporarily live in seclusion in this underground cave! Ye Yunfei, thank you for finding us such an ideal place."
Elder Tang Wu said to Ye Yunfei.
"Elder Tang Wu, you are too kind," Ye Yunfei replied with a gentle smile.
"However, this is only temporary! One day, our Tang Clan will be rebuilt and stand proudly once more on the land of the Northern Wastelands!"
Elder Tang Wu solemnly declared.
