"You're next."
Ye Yunfei's murderous gaze swept towards the other Ancient Demon Race expert.
That demon expert actually turned and fled toward the outside of the city.
There was no way Ye Yunfei would let him escape. He activated his Sky Shadow Robe and gave chase, dispatching his foe with just a few more moves.
By this time, the remaining Demon Race forces in the city were being hunted down like terrified beasts by Hu Miao and the other four, fleeing for their lives.
"The entrance and exit to the Guyao Realm!"
Ye Yunfei's eyes fell upon a huge plaza at the heart of the city.
At the center of this plaza stood a tall stone gate.
That gate was a spatial portal.
Radiant demon light continuously bloomed from the stone gate, accompanied by thick demonic energy that billowed forth.
"No more lingering. We're entering the Guyao Realm!"
Ye Yunfei sent a sound transmission to Hu Miao and the other five.
Ye Yunfei knew that news of the events at Guyao City must have already spread. It wouldn't be long before the Three Great Demon Kings returned with the elite forces of the Ancient Demon Race.
He had to exploit this window of opportunity!
Now was the perfect moment to strike — to charge in and wreak havoc while the forces within the Guyao Realm were at their weakest!
"Halt!
This is the portal to the Guyao Realm. No outsiders are allowed..."
As Ye Yunfei rushed towards the stone gate, several dozen Ancient Demon Race experts, each at the Primordial Soul Realm, appeared and blocked his path.
The fierce battle had raged through the city, yet these demon experts had resisted showing themselves until this very moment.
Their sole duty was to guard the entrance to the Guyao Realm. All other matters were beyond their purview!
"Die!"
In truth, Ye Yunfei had long since detected these demon experts hidden around the stone gate. With a finger pointed, his Five Elements Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation spun outwards.
Agonized screams rang out. In mere moments, all several dozen gate-guarding demon experts were slaughtered.
Swish! Swish…
Hu Miao and the other four had already arrived.
"Let's go in!"
Ye Yunfei took the lead, charging into the stone gate. Hu Miao and the others followed closely behind.
The next instant.
A powerful spatial teleportation force enveloped them, carrying Ye Yunfei and his group towards another world.
In less than a breath's time, Ye Yunfei felt solid ground beneath his feet. His eyes focused, and he found himself in a demon-energetic, seething Small World!
They had finally entered the Guyao Realm!
The Guyao Realm was different from the Demon Domain.
The Demon Domain was merely a territory occupied by the Ancient Demon Race, but the Guyao Realm was their true lair.
Since ancient times, this had been a Small World within the Xuanhuang Star Domain where the Ancient Demon Race had originated and dwelt!
Surveying the scene, Ye Yunfei saw demonic energy surging skyward everywhere in this Small World. A mysterious and ancient demonic power pressure assaulted his senses.
He could also vaguely make out streaks of demonic power laws flickering in the space of this Small World, stretching through the void like transparent chains.
In short, this was a world of demons.
A human cultivator who entered here would find their spiritual power subtly suppressed by the demonic power laws permeating this heaven and earth, their combat strength invisibly diminished.
"Master, this Small World is great for my cultivation!"
Hu Miao, standing beside Ye Yunfei, was overjoyed and cried out.
"Of course.
Strictly speaking, you are also a member of the demon race. Demonic energy sources are naturally beneficial to you.
Seize this opportunity to absorb more of it.
I'll stand guard for you."
Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
"Good!"
Hu Miao nodded.
Immediately, she began circulating the heart technique of her Ancient Skyfox lineage.
Huu… huu…
The demonic power essence in the surrounding heaven and earth was drawn in, swiftly converging towards Hu Miao's delicate form in a continuous stream.
"Elder Feng, Tang Wu, Tang Biao, you three are humans. Within this demonic realm, you will be suppressed by its demonic power laws, and your strength will diminish.
So, you three must be careful. Stay as close to me as possible when we act."
Ye Yunfei looked at Elder Feng, Tang Wu, and Tang Biao, and cautioned them.
"Understood."
The three of them nodded hurriedly.
Indeed, the moment they set foot in this Small World, they immediately sensed a terrifying demonic power pressure crushing down upon them from the surrounding heaven and earth, sending chills down their spines.
"Elder Huang, you needn't worry.
You are a ghost cultivator. Your adaptability is far greater than that of human cultivators; you won't easily be limited by demonic power pressure."
Ye Yunfei said to Huang Shang.
"Heh, rest assured. This bit of demonic pressure poses no threat to me whatsoever."
Huang Shang nodded.
"Alright.
Now, our first priority is rescuing prisoners.
Tang Wu, where are the people from the Tianxuan Continent and the Tang Clan being held? Let's get them out first."
Ye Yunfei said.
Ye Yunfei knew that at this very moment, the Three Great Demon Kings were certainly rushing back towards the Guyao Realm with the elite forces of the Ancient Demon Race.
The powerful experts stationed within this Guyao Realm would also hear the news and immediately sally forth to deal with him.
Therefore, under these circumstances, every second counted!
"Young Master Ye, this Guyao Realm is divided into four districts: East, South, West, and North.
Among them, the Eastern District is where the Ancient Demon Race's high-ranking members and nobility reside. The Southern District houses demons of ordinary strength.
The Western District is for the weakest demon members.
The Northern District is a bitter, desolate land specially designated for holding human slaves.
Most of the human slaves and their descendants reside in the Northern District.
Occasionally, slaves are selected and transferred to the Eastern and Southern Districts to serve the Ancient Demon Race as servants and maids.
Many more slaves are sent outside to barren stars or small worlds to mine ores and perform all sorts of dirty, heavy labor."
Tang Wu answered.
"Good.
Everyone, listen. Our goal now is to rescue all the slaves in the Northern District at the fastest possible speed. We'll let them enter my spatial treasure first."
Ye Yunfei declared.
"Understood."
Hu Miao and the others nodded.
And so.
Swish!
Ye Yunfei took out a vessel bristling with demonic energy. He brought Hu Miao and the other five on board the craft and swiftly made for the Northern District of the Guyao Realm.
At this moment.
Outside the Guyao Realm, within the Demon Domain.
"Report!
Demon King Aoyue, disaster! Terrible news!
Ye Yunfei has breached the gates of Guyao City and killed his way into the Guyao Realm!"
"Report to Demon King Baigu: Ye Yunfei has fought his way into the Guyao Realm!"
"Demon King Wuque: Ye Yunfei has stormed into the Guyao Realm!"
The Three Great Demon Kings simultaneously received urgent reports.
"What?!
That little bastard! Such audacity!"
Upon receiving the reports, the Three Great Demon Kings gnashed their teeth one after another, fury blazing within them.
"Immediately withdraw all our forces! Call everyone back to the Guyao Realm to kill Ye Yunfei!"
The Three Great Demon Kings did not pause for a single moment. They immediately led their forces and rushed back towards the direction of the Guyao Realm at full speed.
At the same time.
The news that Ye Yunfei had broken into the Guyao Realm!
This tidings spread through the entire Demon Domain like a hurricane, then disseminated across the entire Xuanhuang Star Domain at a shocking speed.
Thus, the entire Xuanhuang Star Domain erupted in an uproar.
