“Ye Yunfei, you coward, show yourself!”
The Man in Crimson Armor unleashed his Soul Power, sweeping through the surroundings in search of Ye Yunfei's trace.
Yet, Ye Yunfei was currently deep within the folds of space. How could he possibly be found?
“Let's move against those Heavenly Dao Academy students!”
Wu Kun's gaze suddenly shifted to the peak where the academy disciples were stationed and he sent a Sound Transmission to the Man in Crimson Armor.
“Well said.
We'll deal with those Heavenly Dao Academy students and force Ye Yunfei out!”
The Man in Crimson Armor immediately understood Wu Kun's intention.
Thus...
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Wu Kun and the Man in Crimson Armor simultaneously activated their movement techniques and shot forward.
“Huang Lao, get everyone away, now!”
Although deep in space, Ye Yunfei's Soul Power perceived Wu Kun and the crimson-armored man's movements clearly. He immediately sent a Sound Transmission to Huang Shang.
“Understood.”
Huang Shang nodded.
Immediately, Huang Shang teleported all the students into the Phantom Tower, then transformed into a faint, almost imperceptible ghostly shadow that sank into the ground and vanished.
BOOM! BOOM!
Like two cannonballs, Wu Kun and the Man in Crimson Armor, moving with extreme speed, arrived on the academy's peak in an instant. The spiritual energy pressure carried by their figures caused the entire mountain to shake, with flying sand and stones.
However, when they landed on the peak, all the students had long since disappeared.
“Where are they?
Could it be all Heavenly Dao Academy students are skilled in spatial energy and can travel through space?”
The Man in Crimson Armor exclaimed, both shocked and furious.
“Impossible!
From what I know, only Ye Yunfei can travel through space.
The other Heavenly Dao Academy students absolutely lack that capability!”
Wu Kun stated.
Meanwhile...
“Take these healing pills immediately.”
Ye Yunfei appeared within the Phantom Tower, carefully laying down Da Di Daozhang and the other five, taking out six medicinal pills and handing one to each.
Although severely injured, the six were still conscious. They took the pills and swallowed them.
Soon, the healing pills began to take effect, and their injuries rapidly recovered.
These healing pills were personally refined by Ye Yunfei, so their efficacy was naturally excellent.
“How are you feeling? Better?”
Ye Yunfei looked at Da Di Daozhang and asked.
“Much better.”
Da Di Daozhang's complexion gradually improved, and he appeared much more energetic.
“Thank you for saving our lives, Senior Brother Ye.”
The other five students also felt their injuries quickly healing. In pleasant surprise, they expressed their gratitude to Ye Yunfei.
“Alright.
No need for formalities.”
Ye Yunfei nodded slightly.
At this point, the number of disciples accompanying Ye Yunfei, including Da Di Daozhang, had reached twenty-eight!
Adding the four previously killed, the number of students Ye Yunfei had found was now thirty-two.
This time, the Heavenly Dao Academy had sent a total of fifty students, including Ye Yunfei, to the Divine Fall Land.
That meant seventeen students remained unaccounted for.
“I wonder where they are now.
I hope they're safe.”
Ye Yunfei murmured to himself.
Before their departure, Headmaster Sima had asked Ye Yunfei to look after these students. Given his character, since he had promised, he naturally took it seriously.
“Everyone, I plan to venture into that mountain range ahead next.
That area is undoubtedly fraught with danger.
If you don't wish to follow me inside, you can find a place to hide and wait for my return, or leave and explore elsewhere for treasures, but remember to keep a low profile.”
Ye Yunfei announced clearly to the assembled students.
All the students now stood before him.
“Senior Brother Ye, I'll go with you.
We came here for adventure and seeking treasure; even if there's danger, we are not afraid.”
“Well said, Senior Brother Ye. Rest assured, we members of the Heavenly Dao Academy are not cowards who fear death!”
...
All the students voiced their desire to follow Ye Yunfei inside.
“Good. In that case, let us proceed together.”
Ye Yunfei said.
“Ye Yunfei, you coward, come out!”
At that moment, the Man in Crimson Armor outside was roaring in rage, still searching for Ye Yunfei everywhere.
“I'm right here.”
A voice suddenly rang out. Ye Yunfei appeared in the distance, looking at the Man in Crimson Armor with a cold sneer.
“You bastard, die!”
The Man in Crimson Armor immediately activated the Three-Layered Black Pagoda, sending it hurtling forward with a vast tide of energy pressure rushing to engulf Ye Yunfei.
Boom...
From another direction, Wu Kun also activated his white ring, its power surging forth like a raging torrent.
Ye Yunfei took a single step back, slipping deep into space once more, disappearing without a trace.
“Ye Yunfei, if you have any guts, stop hiding! Fight me like a man!”
The Man in Crimson Armor roared furiously.
“Just wait. Your chance will come.”
Ye Yunfei's figure appeared far away, speaking coldly.
Then, Ye Yunfei turned and strode boldly toward the mountain range ahead.
His speed was incredible; within a few steps, he had already charged in.
“Ye Yunfei has gone in!”
Witnessing this, everyone was stunned.
Up until now, at least over ten thousand martial artists had gathered at the edge of this mountain range. Earlier groups who ventured in suffered over fifty percent casualties, and those who didn't die fled back out.
Therefore, everyone had been waiting.
Now, someone had finally entered again!
“Friends of the Wu Clan, how about we join forces and break in together?”
The Man in Crimson Armor, watching Ye Yunfei's receding figure, suddenly suggested to Wu Kun.
“Alright! We'll join forces!”
Wu Kun pondered briefly, then nodded in agreement.
Both sides possessed an Innate Treasure. Combining their strength would make them far more formidable!
“Let's move!”
Wu Kun and the Man in Crimson Armor waved their hands simultaneously, leading their respective Wu Clan and Tongtian Sect forces as they charged toward the mountain range.
Boom! Boom!
A Three-Layered Black Pagoda and a white ring rose into the air, blazing a trail ahead. They released rolling waves of energy pressure, pulverizing vast swathes of forest wherever they passed.
Both Wu Kun and the Man in Crimson Armor knew the mountain range ahead was perilous, so they directly used their Innate Treasures to clear the path.
“Lord Wu Kun, take us with you!
The Ancient Demon Race is willing to serve you loyally!”
A shout came from afar.
It was a member of the Ancient Demon Race!
“Very well. Join us.”
Wu Kun considered for a moment, then agreed.
Historically, the Ancient Demon Race regularly paid tribute to the Wu Clan, bowing in submission. The Wu Clan also knew the Ancient Demon Race had powerful backers, so the two factions had always maintained good relations.
“Thank you, Lord Wu Kun!”
The Ancient Demon Race members were overjoyed upon hearing this and immediately rushed over as a group, positioning themselves behind the Wu Clan forces.
In the blink of an eye, the Wu Clan and Tongtian Sect forces plunged into the mountain range ahead.
Boom!
At that moment, a black dagger shot skyward, erupting with overwhelming black blade radiance that resembled vast, rolling black tides filling a huge expanse of sky.
Yet another Innate Treasure!
“We're going in too!”
Beneath the black dagger, an eerie-looking man clad in a black cloak embroidered with a strange bat led a group of martial artists, advancing majestically toward the mountain range.
“They're from the Black Mountain Cult of the Taiheng Star Domain!”
Someone exclaimed softly in astonishment.
“We're entering as well!”
A young man in white robes waved his hand, and a fist-sized golden orb shot into the sky. Its might was like an ocean, shaking the heavens and dimming the earth.
Yet another Innate Treasure!
The white-robed youth activated the golden orb and led his group charging forward into the mountain range.
“They are disciples of the Flowing Moon Sect from the Jiaoxiu Star Domain!”
Someone recognized the group's origin and whispered.
Following this...
Boom... Boom...
One Innate Treasure after another was unleashed, each erupting with turbulent energy pressure that caused the very skies and earth to tremble constantly. Many surrounding peaks and dense forests were utterly devastated.
Team after team utilized Innate Treasures to clear their way, storming into the mountain range.
Naturally, those capable of producing Innate Treasures were all disciples from the most prestigious and powerful forces across various star domains!
