Wu Tiande, Chu Hanguo, and Jiang Xiong were all terrified, taking a simultaneous step back. The combat prowess Ye Yunfei had displayed completely overwhelmed them. After all, the combat strength of these three was roughly on par with Pang Qing's.
"Everyone, have you forgotten what the two Star Sky Pang Clan lords said! If we don't capture Ye Yunfei and deliver him to those two lords, our five star domains will face disaster!" Wu Tiande suddenly shouted.
"He's right! Do you think the words of the Star Sky Pang Clan are a joke?" Chu Hanguo also yelled.
The expressions of the other high-ranking officers in the palace shifted at those words. The name 'Star Sky Pang Clan' was far too intimidating! No one dared to disregard it!
"Senior Chu, for the safety of our five star domains, I believe we should seize Ye Yunfei and send him to those two Pang Clan lords," one high-level officer spoke up.
"Yes. Our five star domains must absolutely avoid provoking the Star Sky Pang Clan," others nodded in agreement.
Consequently, nearly seventy or eighty of the Allied Army's higher-ups stealthily repositioned themselves, forming an encirclement around Ye Yunfei. Only a small portion hesitated, uncertain.
"So it seems you all wish to capture me," Ye Yunfei swept a cold glance over the encroaching officers, his lip curling in a sneer.
"Ye Yunfei, don't blame us. Blame yourself for why you had to provoke the Star Sky Pang Clan."
"Exactly, we are also forced into this."
… Several officers spoke one after another.
By now, the surrounding higher-ups began closing in on Ye Yunfei.
"Young Friend Ye, you should leave quickly. Under these circumstances, even I cannot stop them," Chu Ji transmitted a Sound Transmission to Ye Yunfei.
"Very well. I will remember today's affairs. Especially the three of you—I will claim your heads sooner or later," Ye Yunfei's gaze slowly swept across the room, his voice ice-cold.
There were over a hundred Star Bridge Realm masters in this palace. If they all attacked together, Ye Yunfei understood he would be no match.
"He's trying to flee! Stop him!"
"Seal the space! Don't let him teleport!"
… Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the Allied Army officers were shocked. Booms resounded as they released their Spiritual Power auras, crushing towards Ye Yunfei. Some even activated innate magical treasures.
Immediately, vast tides of Spiritual Power pressure from all directions pressed down on Ye Yunfei. The space became terrifyingly dense with spiritual energy, turning incredibly heavy. Under such conditions, attempting to teleport would be quite difficult. After all, seventy to eighty Star Bridge Realm experts acting simultaneously could seal this space with immense power.
Whoosh! Ye Yunfei directly entered the Phantom Tower.
Then, a flash of golden light — the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm appeared, bit onto the Phantom Tower, and directly burrowed into space.
Not long ago, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm had undergone a bloodline upgrade. Its space-diving ability now far surpassed Ye Yunfei's own. The combined energy suppression of seventy to eighty Star Bridge Realm experts couldn't prevent its escape!
"Not good! Ye Yunfei has fled!" The officers were both shocked and furious. With so many of them, they still failed to stop a junior from leaving.
"One has to admit, this Ye Yunfei is a rare monstrous talent among the younger generation. If he's allowed to continue growing, within a few years, none of us would be his match. Unfortunately, he provoked the Star Sky Pang Clan. He is doomed to an early demise," a grey-robed elder couldn't help but sigh.
"Senior Chu, where are those two from the Star Sky Pang Clan?" At this moment, Chu Ji suddenly received a Sound Transmission from Ye Yunfei.
"Young Friend Ye, the power of the Star Sky Pang Clan is terrifying beyond measure. It's best if you don't provoke them!" Chu Ji was greatly alarmed and hurriedly transmitted a reply.
"Senior Chu, you should know that I will definitely seek them out," Ye Yunfei replied.
"Young Friend Ye, do you mean... your father was captured by the Star Sky Pang Clan?" Chu Ji asked.
"Judging by the current situation, there's a ninety percent chance it was them," Ye Yunfei answered.
"Alright, Young Friend Ye, you must be careful. Those two from the Star Sky Pang Clan are out in the starry sky not far from Earth Horn Star. There's a solitary starship parked there; it's easily recognizable. Young Friend Ye, if you need any help, just send me a message. If it's within my power, I will definitely assist," Chu Ji let out a soft sigh as he transmitted.
"Senior Chu, I remember your kindness," Ye Yunfei replied.
Then, there was no further communication.
"We cannot let Ye Yunfei escape! Otherwise, we'll have no way to answer to those two Star Sky Pang Clan lords! We must give chase!" At this point, the officers began to stir, preparing to pursue outside the palace.
"You don't need to chase. Young Friend Ye has already gone to find those two from the Star Sky Pang Clan," Chu Ji suddenly said with a sigh.
"What? Ye Yunfei went to find those two Star Sky Pang Clan lords? Senior Chu, is that true?" The Allied Army officers paused, turning to look at Chu Ji.
"Believe me, it's true. Our Five-Domain Allied Army need not concern ourselves with this matter further," Chu Ji nodded.
"We cannot afford to provoke the Star Sky Pang Clan. I also advise you not to provoke Young Friend Ye again. Otherwise, you will surely regret it sooner or later. Do not underestimate him. I have a feeling he must have some truly astonishing origins," Chu Ji added.
The officers were stunned by his words.
Wu Tiande, Chu Hanguo, and Jiang Xiong's faces turned extremely ugly. They understood that if Ye Yunfei did not die, he would definitely return to settle accounts with them. Given the terrifying combat prowess he had just displayed, the three of them were no match for him!
Meanwhile.
In the starry void, not far from Earth Horn Star, a solitary starship hovered.
Inside, two men sat cross-legged, meditating.
"Two hours is almost up, Pang Song. Do you think those riff-raff will deliver the little bastard?" The man in the green robe suddenly spoke.
"Pang Wei, relax. I doubt they dare disobey our command. Which lifeforms in these star domains don't tremble in fear at the mere mention of our Star Sky Pang Clan?" The man called Pang Song sneered.
"That's true. I reckon the people in these backwater little domains practically turn to jelly when they hear our illustrious name. They shouldn't have the guts to defy our orders," Pang Wei chuckled.
"I've long grown sick of staying in this godforsaken, backward star domain. Fortunately, as soon as we catch that little bastard, we can return immediately," Pang Song lamented.
"Yes, I'm sick of it too. I wish I could go back right now," Pang Wei nodded.
Just then, next to this starship, a figure suddenly emerged from deep within space. It was Ye Yunfei.
"They call me 'little bastard'! Confirmed without a doubt! It was indeed the Star Sky Pang Clan that captured father!" Ye Yunfei's eyes held boundless, limitless killing intent.
