"Did your Pang Clan capture my father?"
Ye Yunfei asked slowly and emphatically, every word clipped and sharp.
"Your father?
Kid, just who are you?"
Pang Zisheng was taken aback and asked.
"My name is Ye Yunfei."
Ye Yunfei said.
"Ye Yunfei?
The Ye Yunfei from the Xuanhuang Star Domain who possesses the demigod herbs?
That's you?"
Pang Zisheng's gaze turned fierce as he stared at Ye Yunfei and said.
"Correct."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Haha…
Excellent, very good. Ye Yunfei, to think you'd deliver yourself right to our doorstep.
Listen here, our Great General has taken a fancy to the demigod herbs on your person. Hand them over now!
I believe a single demigod herb would be of great help to the Great General in breaking through his realm!"
Pang Zisheng suddenly burst into loud laughter.
Boom!
As he spoke, he suddenly took a forceful step forward. A raging torrent of spiritual energy pressure, like a heaven-shaking tsunami, swept forward in a majestic tide to engulf Ye Yunfei.
Immediately, this patch of starry sky began to roil and seethe like a pot of boiling water.
Star Bridge Realm experts truly were terrifying.
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei was well-prepared. He activated the Heavenly Shadow Robe, took a step back, and instantly put distance between himself and Pang Zisheng, evading the attack.
"What incredibly fast speed!"
Pang Zisheng was somewhat surprised.
With Ye Yunfei's current strength and the robe's tenfold acceleration, his movement speed was truly astonishing.
"Ye Yunfei, since you're here, don't even think about leaving without handing over the demigod herbs!"
Pang Zisheng said coldly.
The next moment.
Whoosh whoosh…
Five figures swiftly traversed the starry sky, surrounding Ye Yunfei.
Five Star Bridge Realm experts!
Far off, within the formations of the Star Nation's Expeditionary Army, a Great General clad in brilliant golden armor emerged from a ship, his majestic gaze fixed upon Ye Yunfei.
"It's Ye Yunfei! He's come!"
"That's right, Ye Yunfei of the Xuanhuang Star Domain!"
"To challenge the Star Nation's Expeditionary Army all alone? How audacious!"
…
By now, on both Tianjiao Star and Earth Horn Star, powerful Soul Powers extended their perceptions from afar, and many were murmuring and discussing.
"I'll ask once more. Did your Pang Clan capture my father?"
Ye Yunfei's face remained expressionless as he stared at Pang Zisheng and repeated the question.
"So what if we did?
Ye Yunfei, enough idle talk. Hand over the demigod herbs immediately and present them to the Great General. Do that and things can end well.
Otherwise, not only you, but also your father, your family behind you, and your sect—all shall perish!"
Pang Zisheng's face darkened as he spoke coldly.
"Release my father immediately. Or else, I swear I will annihilate your Pang Clan!"
Ye Yunfei's gaze turned icy and sharp as he stared at Pang Zisheng and said these words slowly.
For a single instant, a terrifying murderous intent radiated from Ye Yunfei's body, causing the temperature of the surrounding starry space to drop several degrees.
In this life after rebirth, his father was absolutely one of the scales that grow backwards on a dragon!
A dragon has reverse scales—whoever dares touch it must die!
"Annihilate my Pang Clan?
With you?
Hahaha…
I've seen plenty of arrogant youngsters, but one as utterly presumptuous as you? That's a first!"
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Pang Zisheng first stood dumbfounded for a moment, then threw back his head and roared with laughter.
"Kid, it seems you have no understanding whatsoever of our Star Nation's strength, nor the might of our Pang Clan.
Our Pang Clan is far more powerful than any and all forces within your star domain!
There is simply no comparison!
What you see before you now—our Star Nation's Expeditionary Army—is only a part of our nation's power.
We have at least a dozen expeditionary forces of this scale!"
Pang Zisheng said.
"Now, do you still think you can annihilate my Pang Clan?"
Pang Zisheng's sharp gaze pierced Ye Yunfei as he sneered and asked.
"If your Pang Clan truly did capture my father, release him immediately. Otherwise, I will annihilate your Pang Clan without fail."
Ye Yunfei said, his tone carrying a vicious intensity that showed he was deadly serious.
"Enough talk. Take him down immediately.
I require the demigod herbs on his person."
At this moment, the Great General clad in glittering golden armor within the Expeditionary Army's formation opened his mouth and spoke.
"Yes!"
The five Star Bridge Realm experts surrounding Ye Yunfei chorused in unison.
And then.
Boom boom…
Five vast surges of energy pressure shot up into the heavens, like five volcanoes that had long been brewing, erupting simultaneously.
A torrent of energy pressure, like giant waves, rolled forth from all directions to engulf Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei's expression shifted slightly.
With Ye Yunfei's current strength, he was certainly no match for five Star Bridge Realm experts.
Right at this moment.
Whoosh whoosh…
Five figures shot over like ghosts, moving with supernatural speed, and placed themselves protectively around Ye Yunfei, placing him in their midst.
All five were Star Bridge Realm experts!
"Ye Yunfei, Senior Chu Ji has sent us to aid you!
Let's leave this place first!"
One of them said.
"Chu Ji?"
Ye Yunfei was startled.
"That's right.
Senior Chu Ji is the Grand Commander of our Five-Domain Allied Army. We'll discuss the details later."
One of them said.
"Alright."
Ye Yunfei pondered for a moment, then nodded.
Truthfully, Ye Yunfei had already been planning to make his escape, as he knew for certain he was no match for five Star Bridge Realm experts.
"Good. You go first. We'll hold the rear.
Senior Chu Ji awaits you on Tianjiao Star!"
A Star Bridge Realm expert said.
"Very well."
Without any further ado, Ye Yunfei turned and departed.
While his Heavenly Shadow Robe was activated, Ye Yunfei's speed was like a meteor racing towards the moon. In an instant, he was nearing Tianjiao Star.
"Damn it!"
Within the Expeditionary Army's formation, the Great General's face darkened considerably. He had intended to dispatch other experts to intercept Ye Yunfei, but the youth's speed was simply too fast. There was no time.
Soon, Ye Yunfei descended upon Tianjiao Star.
Tianjiao Star was similar in size to Xuanhuang Star.
The entire star was garrisoned with vast numbers of troops.
During this period, armies from five star domains—the Ziwei Star Domain, the Jiao Su Star Domain, the Xuanhuang Star Domain, the Taiheng Star Domain, and the Tianma Star Domain—had formed a coalition to resist the Star Nation's Expeditionary Army.
Thus, both Tianjiao Star and Earth Horn Star were bustling with activity and packed to the brim.
"Young Friend Ye Yunfei, please join us for a gathering."
Soon after Ye Yunfei landed on Tianjiao Star, a voice rang out, crystal clear in his ears.
Ye Yunfei's gaze immediately swept towards the distance, towards a towering peak that soared into the clouds.
The mountain peak was swathed in cloud and mist, dense with spiritual qi, and seemed to softly radiate various colored glows, appearing like a celestial abode.
Upon that mountain stood a palace.
The voice was precisely coming from within that palace.
"Alright."
Ye Yunfei nodded, then moved his body and strode rapidly towards that mountain.
Moments later.
Ye Yunfei landed on the mountain and arrived before the gates of the palace.
"Please, come inside."
The same voice spoke again.
Without hesitation, Ye Yunfei strode inside the palace.
Instantly, inside the hall, numerous sharp gazes swiveled uniformly to land upon Ye Yunfei.
Sitting cross-legged within the palace was a whole host of terrifying experts!
