A moment later, Ye Yunfei’s figure appeared at a location over ten miles away.
He brought the two young women out of the Phantom Tower.
“Where are those Void Beasts?
They seem to be gone!
Have we really escaped?”
The Lu Junior Sister surveyed their surroundings and asked joyfully.
“Indeed.”
Ye Yunfei nodded.
“Excellent!
Senior Sister Song, we’ve finally shaken off those detestable Void Beasts!”
Junior Sister Lu exclaimed excitedly.
“Thank you.”
Senior Sister Song looked at Ye Yunfei with her beautiful eyes and spoke gratefully.
Remembering the scene just moments ago where Ye Yunfei’s arm had been around her waist, a faint blush involuntarily colored her cheeks. In all her life, it was the first time she had been held so intimately by an unfamiliar young man.
“Alright.
I should be leaving now.”
Ye Yunfei nodded and said.
“You’re leaving?
You won’t stay with us?”
Senior Sister Song was taken aback.
“Yes.
This Shattered Valley is too dangerous.
More people mean greater strength.”
Junior Sister Lu also looked at Ye Yunfei with hopeful eyes.
Ye Yunfei had saved them from the encirclement of fifty to sixty Void Beasts at their most desperate moment, making both women feel a certain reliance on him. Especially Senior Sister Song, who vaguely desired to travel together with Ye Yunfei.
“Which faction do you two belong to?”
Ye Yunfei asked.
“We are disciples of the Jiuhua Sacred Land,”
Senior Sister Song hesitated for a moment before answering.
“Then you should quickly contact your sect members.
I am fine on my own.”
Ye Yunfei said.
Bringing these two young women along would only mean acquiring two burdens; Ye Yunfei was not willing.
“You…”
Both women were somewhat angered.
It must be understood that both held high status within the Jiuhua Sacred Land, coupled with their stunning looks. Usually, countless men vied for their favor and affection. This was the first time a young man had so bluntly rejected them.
“Alright.
I’m leaving.”
Unwilling to get entangled with them, Ye Yunfei said.
At this moment.
“Junior Sisters! Finally found you!
So you really snuck into the Shattered Valley!
Elder Yang is worried sick; he had us all out looking for you!”
A man in purple robes led a team of disciples charging over from a distance. Upon seeing the two women, he couldn’t help but exclaim with delight.
In a moment, the purple-robed man arrived before them.
This purple-robed man was a middle Primordial Soul Realm expert!
Those following him were also all Primordial Soul Realm experts, each with sharp auras and impressive strength.
“Junior Sisters, who is he?”
Suddenly, the purple-robed man fixed his sharp gaze on Ye Yunfei.
“Senior Brother Wu, just now we were surrounded by dozens of Void Beasts and were in critical danger. He saved us; he is our benefactor.
By the way, what is your name?”
Senior Sister Song asked Ye Yunfei. Only now did she realize she didn’t know his name.
“Yes, what’s your name, and which faction do you belong to?
Tell us quickly.”
Junior Sister Lu also chimed in.
“Benefactor?”
Upon hearing Junior Sister Lu’s words, Senior Brother Wu was first startled, then seeing the two women’s enthusiastic attitude towards Ye Yunfei, his face involuntarily darkened.
“Junior Sisters, the world is full of dangers; do not easily trust strangers.
Given your status, there are countless scheming individuals across the entire Northern Wilderness Domain who would use every means to get close to you.
For such people, you should simply ignore them.
Let’s go.”
Senior Brother Wu said, while shooting a warning glare at Ye Yunfei.
“Senior Brother Wu, you misunderstand. He’s not a bad person; he saved us and is our benefactor,”
Junior Sister Lu immediately countered.
“Alright, both of you, I’m leaving.”
A sudden annoyance welled up in Ye Yunfei’s heart. He spoke indifferently, then turned to leave.
“Hey! You haven’t told us your name yet!”
Junior Sister Lu was stunned, then called out loudly.
“Su Ye.”
Ye Yunfei left behind a sentence as he instantly vanished into the distance.
“So his name is Su Ye.”
Junior Sister Lu watched Ye Yunfei’s retreating figure.
Senior Sister Song also gazed at the departing Ye Yunfei, feeling a sense of inexplicable loss.
“Kid, next time, don’t let me run into you again!”
Seeing the two women’s lingering feelings for Ye Yunfei, Senior Brother Wu’s face turned extremely gloomy, and he secretly swore in his heart.
After leaving the two women, Ye Yunfei activated his movement technique, released his Soul Power, sensed Jiang Yanran’s aura, and followed the trace to find her.
This Shattered Valley was filled with dangerous spatial cracks everywhere. Some were extremely well-hidden and difficult to detect, only becoming noticeable when one was right upon them.
Therefore, traveling within this Shattered Valley required extreme caution.
The slightest lapse in attention could lead to encountering a spatial crack.
However, for Ye Yunfei, this was not a concern.
Not just encountering spatial cracks; even entering one would not harm Ye Yunfei.
Along the way, Ye Yunfei encountered many people.
They were all from the major forces of the Northern Wilderness Domain, scattered throughout the Shattered Valley searching for that Void Tree.
Ye Yunfei’s Space Movement Technique was exquisite. No matter who he encountered, he directly submerged into space and traversed away.
Half a day later.
Ye Yunfei finally found Jiang Yanran.
On a hillside, Jiang Yanran was with a group from the Heavenly Dao Academy, led by Steward Fang.
Ye Yunfei discovered that this particular area had gathered a large number of martial artists, clustering here and there in groups.
It seemed the forces of several major factions had all congregated.
Everyone’s gaze was fixed on a valley ahead.
That valley was enveloped in a dazzling, brilliant seven-colored radiance.
Looking from afar, the light seemed like flowing water, filling the entire valley, making it appear submerged in a sea of colorful water.
“This is the Seven-Colored Void Light!”
With his vast experience, Ye Yunfei recognized it at a glance.
Generally, Seven-Colored Void Light would appear in severely fragmented and unstable spaces where the structure was unsteady and energy chaotic, producing all sorts of bizarre and fantastic scenery.
The Seven-Colored Void Light was one such surreal phenomenon.
The Seven-Colored Void Light was extremely peculiar. Regardless of what kind of living being, once entering its range, one would lose their sense of balance and direction, unable to judge direction accurately.
Intending to walk forward, one might instead go backward, left, or right.
The reason for this was that the Seven-Colored Void Light masked the real space; the space one could see and perceive was twisted and false!
Simultaneously, the stronger a martial artist’s Soul Power, the weaker the influence of the Seven-Colored Void Light, and the more accurate their directional judgment would be.
“What’s going on here?”
Ye Yunfei secretly sent a Sound Transmission to Jiang Yanran.
“Su Ye, you’re here!”
Receiving his transmission, Jiang Yanran’s spirits lifted.
“This place is called the Valley Within the Valley.
It is the most core location within the Shattered Valley.
Now, the powerhouses from each faction have all concluded that the Void Tree is most likely inside this Valley Within the Valley.
That’s why everyone has gathered here, preparing to rush in.”
Jiang Yanran transmitted back.
“I see.”
Ye Yunfei nodded.
“This valley indeed has severely fragmented space, is rich with spatial energy and spatial laws. It is indeed the most suitable place for the Void Tree to grow.
So it’s not strange if the Void Tree is here,”
Ye Yunfei mused to himself.
“Su Ye, as I mentioned before, my main purpose for coming to the Shattered Valley was to retrieve a particular treasure. That treasure is also within this Valley Within the Valley, called the Nine-Curve Ginseng.”
Jiang Yanran said.
“Nine-Curve Ginseng. Alright, I’ll go in later and keep an eye out for it.”
Ye Yunfei nodded.
“Also, inside the Valley Within the Valley, there are many spatial cracks, making it very dangerous. But there are also abundant spiritual herbs and heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Later, after barging in, different sects might fight over them. Be careful.”
Jiang Yanran warned Ye Yunfei.
“Don’t worry, I’ll be careful.”
Ye Yunfei nodded.
It must be said, Jiang Yanran was quite decent to Ye Yunfei, showing genuine concern.
“Lü Pengfei.”
Surveying his surroundings, Ye Yunfei saw the Tianxuan Sacred Land’s Lü Pengfei standing among a group of disciples.
“They’re here too.”
Ye Yunfei spotted Jiuhua Sacred Land’s Senior Sister Song, Junior Sister Lu, and that Senior Brother Wu, all standing together with a large group of Jiuhua Sacred Land disciples.
Because Ye Yunfei remained hidden within space, although Senior Sister Song and Junior Sister Lu looked around everywhere, they did not see him.
One could see that all factions’ forces were converging towards this Valley Within the Valley.
“Hmph!
They are here too!”
Ye Yunfei’s gaze suddenly sharpened as he looked in a certain direction. Amidst a pile of broken stones, dozens of Primordial Soul Realm experts stood inconspicuously.
Precisely those experts from the Ancient Demon Race, Tianji Sect, and the Liu Family!
These experts also wanted the Void Tree. Upon receiving the news, they had come here.
Just then.
Boom…
From within the Valley Within the Valley came waves of intense spatial fluctuations. The entire valley seemed to be shaking.
“Rainbow-colored rays surging like tides, shaking heaven and earth. According to ancient records, these are the signs of the Void Tree’s emergence!
Quick, go in!”
The forces no longer hesitated. Each group shot forward like arrows from the string, charging towards the Valley Within the Valley.
“If there really is a Void Tree, it must belong to me.”
Watching the endless tide of people surging into the valley, Ye Yunfei couldn’t help but let out a cold laugh.
Then, Ye Yunfei revealed his form, activated his Heavenly Shadow Robe for tenfold acceleration, and dragging multiple afterimages behind him, charged towards the valley ahead.
