"Because the Purple Tenuity Star Domain has been completely occupied by the Star Nation's Expeditionary Army, we didn't get a chance to go in and investigate,"
That slave added.
Ye Yunfei took the jade slip and sent a strand of Soul Power into it.
It recorded over a dozen powerful Pang Clans.
Among them, the one that caught Ye Yunfei's attention was the Pang Clan of the Taiheng Star Domain.
The reason was that Ye Yunfei had once killed three Imperial Realm experts from a Pang Clan.
For a single clan to produce three Imperial Realm experts indicated that this clan's strength was definitely among the very top powers across these star domains.
Ordinary, weaker clans could never have three Imperial Realm experts.
"The Taiheng Star Domain Pang Clan..."
Ye Yunfei murmured to himself.
The Taiheng Star Domain Pang Clan was one of the four major powers of the Taiheng Star Domain.
Not only did their clan possess numerous Imperial Realm experts, they also had Star Bridge Realm experts stationed within.
Therefore, this Pang Clan was also a suspect for abducting Ye Tianpeng!
"I will now teach you all a small-scale combat formation. You must immediately enter my spatial treasure and seize the time to start practicing it collectively,"
Ye Yunfei transmitted his voice to the sixteen Imperial Realm slaves.
He also took out a merit art jade slip and handed it to one of the slaves.
Then, Ye Yunfei transferred all sixteen slaves into the Phantom Tower.
"Senior Chu, may I ask if there are any members of the Taiheng Star Domain Pang Clan here?"
Ye Yunfei walked up to Chu Ji and asked aloud.
"Young Friend Ye, you're looking for people from the Pang Clan?"
Chu Ji was momentarily stunned.
The gazes of the Star Bridge Realm experts nearby also swept toward Ye Yunfei one after another.
"Ye Yunfei, I am a member of the Taiheng Star Domain Pang Clan."
A sturdy, yellow-robed elder fixed his gaze on Ye Yunfei.
"Was it your Pang Clan who captured my father?"
Ye Yunfei stared at the yellow-robed elder and asked directly.
"Ye Yunfei, what do you mean by that!"
The yellow-robed elder was taken aback for a moment, then grew somewhat angry.
"Young Friend Ye, are you saying your father has been abducted?"
Chu Ji asked, somewhat surprised.
"Yes."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
There was no need to hide this matter.
"If it was your Taiheng Star Domain Pang Clan who captured my father, release him immediately.
Dare to lay a hand on my father, and the consequences will be grave,"
Ye Yunfei's gaze locked onto the yellow-robed elder, his tone sharp and imposing.
"Ye Yunfei, who do you think you are!
How dare you be so disrespectful to me!"
The yellow-robed elder grew furious. He was a Star Bridge Realm expert; usually, young people in his presence wouldn't even dare to breathe too heavily.
When had he ever been questioned in such a tone by a young junior in front of everyone?
"I ask once more, was it your Taiheng Star Domain Pang Clan who captured my father.
I do not wish to conflict with your Pang Clan without reason, so you best answer truthfully,"
Ye Yunfei stared at the yellow-robed elder and slowly repeated his question.
"Brat, you're seeking death!"
The yellow-robed elder's face turned ashen, and he directly made a move.
*BOOM...*
He sent a palm strike toward Ye Yunfei. His palm continuously enlarged, instantly transforming into a gigantic palm the size of several acres of land, blotting out a section of the starry sky.
"Elder Pang Qing! Young Friend Ye! A great enemy stands before us. It's inadvisable for comrades to fight each other.
Whatever the matter, let's discuss it after this battle concludes.
Young Friend Ye, rest assured. Once the war is over, I will help search for your father."
Chu Ji flicked his sleeve, directly repelling that giant palm.
The yellow-robed elder retrieved his hand, shooting a fierce glare at Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei's expression remained impassive.
For now, Ye Yunfei hadn't yet confirmed which Pang Clan had captured his father. But once confirmed, with Ye Yunfei's temperament, he would not let the matter rest easily!
"They have arrived."
Chu Ji pointed towards the Star Nation Expeditionary Army's battle lines in the distance.
One could see team after team of officers and soldiers marching out from the Expeditionary Army's formation, densely packed and bristling with killing intent.
This Expeditionary Army fought wars year-round; nearly every one of them was an elite, all exuding an aura of grim lethality.
A Great General clad in resplendent golden armor stood at the very front of the Expeditionary Army ranks. His sharp gaze swept over the Five-Domain Allied Army like two divine beams.
Beside him, a Late Stage Imperial Realm expert held a great banner in his arms. It flapped and snapped vigorously in the starry sky's gale-force winds.
Emblazoned on the banner were the three large words: Star Nation.
"How bold! You actually dare to form a coalition army to oppose the forces of our Star Nation!
Now, two paths lie before you.
First, surrender, and serve our Star Nation from now on.
Second, death."
That Great General finally spoke, his voice rolling out like thunder, shaking this expanse of starry void.
His gaze was imperious. The golden armor on his body shone dazzlingly, radiating a formidable pressure, as if a God of War had descended.
Behind him stood a sea of soldiers, densely packed and, from afar, resembling a forest of steel. Each warrior held a battle halberd, long spear, or lance, fully armored, unleashing billowing killing intent that surged forth like a tide.
"Truly the Star Nation's Expeditionary Army. Their momentum is terrifying!"
Many higher-ups within the Five-Domain Allied Army were secretly shocked in their hearts.
"Everyone, do not fear. Although the Star Nation Expeditionary Army is strong, we have gathered the elite forces of five domains! As long as we unite and work together, we definitely will not be weaker than them!"
Chu Ji turned his head and called out.
"Surrender, or die? Choose immediately.
Do not waste time."
In the distance, the Great General spoke again.
"Hmph!
The territory of our five great star domains is hallowed and inviolable. We absolutely will not surrender!"
Chu Ji took a step forward and shouted clearly.
"Since that's the case, no more words. Slay them!"
That Great General waved his hand, saying coldly.
"Slay!"
Behind the Great General, the tide-like Expeditionary Army roared in unison, their murderous intent sweeping forth, shaking the heavens and causing the entire starry sky to tremble.
"Attack!"
Chu Ji also waved his hand, shouting.
"Slay!"
Behind Chu Ji, the Five-Domain Allied Army also roared together.
*RUMBLE...*
Forces from both sides surged forward to engage.
"All of you, follow me to slay the enemy!"
Chu Ji shouted toward the Star Bridge Realm experts.
*SWOOSH!*
His sleeves flowed, his Taoist gown billowing as he strode forth like a crimson dragon traversing the heavens.
*Swoosh swoosh...*
The Star Bridge Realm experts of the Five-Domain Allied Army also shot forward one after another.
"You must be Chu Ji, I presume.
I heard it was you who led the opposition against our Star Nation's forces. Good, let me test exactly what you're capable of!"
From the Star Nation Expeditionary Army's ranks, an elder with a full head of crimson hair charged toward Chu Ji from afar.
Simultaneously, a group of Star Bridge Realm experts followed behind this crimson-haired elder, like a pack of prehistoric savage beasts, bristling with killing intent.
*RUMBLE...*
As the crimson-haired elder closed in on Chu Ji, he waved a hand. A fiery dragon materialized out of thin air, claws outstretched, pouncing toward Chu Ji.
Chu Ji threw a punch. A massive fist imprint materialized, resembling a sacred mountain, and violently collided with that fiery dragon.
Next, the Star Bridge Realm experts from both sides also fiercely joined battle.
The energy released by Star Bridge Realm experts' clashes was extremely terrifying; no one dared approach that part of space.
"Kill!"
The other forces of both sides also began slaughtering each other.
As far as the eye could see, the starry expanse was filled with dense seas of clashing combatants.
As soon as the war began, people on both sides started dying continuously.
War is brutal!
At this moment, Ye Yunfei's gaze shifted toward the Imperial Realm experts among the Expeditionary Army.
"Capture a group of Imperial Realm experts and make them my slaves!"
Ye Yunfei thought to himself.
His father's disappearance made Ye Yunfei urgently need to foster his own personnel to help search for his father's whereabouts. These Imperial Realm experts before him were the perfect choice!
Thus, Ye Yunfei strode toward those Imperial Realm experts of the Expeditionary Army.
Under the effect of his activated Heavenly Shadow Robe, Ye Yunfei's speed was astonishingly fast.
With a swoosh, Ye Yunfei arrived before an Early Stage Imperial Realm warrior of the Expeditionary Army.
"Brat, die!"
That Early Stage Imperial Realm warrior roared, lifting a battle saber to slash at Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei's right hand drew a spirit sword. A single sword swing sent the battle saber flying. His left hand clenched into a fist, punching that Early Stage Imperial Realm warrior into critical injury. Then, he sealed him and transferred him into the Phantom Tower.
With Ye Yunfei's current strength, dealing with an Early Stage Imperial Realm opponent was as easy as turning over his hand.
Next, Ye Yunfei's figure became ghost-like, weaving through the battlefield. He targeted the Early Stage Imperial Realm warriors of the Expeditionary Army, incapacitating them one by one. In a short while, he had captured several dozen Early Stage Imperial Realm warriors from the Expeditionary Army.
Ye Yunfei severely wounded them all, then sealed and transferred them into the Phantom Tower.
