As the pain coursed through them, the poison pills simultaneously protected their Soul Bodies, preventing them from losing consciousness. Thus, they remained acutely aware of the immense agony.
This particular poison pill had a name: Ten Thousand Ants Gnawing the Heart Pill!
It was specifically refined for torturing people!
After a short while.
Pang Wei and Pang Song truly could no longer endure the torment inflicted by the poison pills. They cast beseeching glances towards Ye Yunfei.
They were in so much pain they couldn't even speak to express themselves.
Ye Yunfei waved his hand. Two white pills flew out, landing in front of the two men.
Pang Wei and Pang Song hurriedly swallowed the two white pills.
After swallowing the white pills, the two men immediately felt their suffering vanish. Like half-dead fish that had been baking under the sun most of the day, they lay there, panting heavily.
"Now, I will ask, and you will answer.
Remember, both your physical bodies and your Soul Bodies are now under my control. You can't even commit suicide.
If you do not answer my questions truthfully, I will make you endure that torment a few more times.
Do you understand?"
Ye Yunfei's icy gaze fixed on the two men, his tone bone-chillingly cold.
Pang Wei and Pang Song nodded desperately, not daring to utter a single word of refusal.
They were utterly terrified of that horrible torture earlier; they definitely did not want to endure it again under any circumstances.
"Was it you, the Star Sky Pang Clan, who captured my father?" Ye Yunfei asked.
"Yes," Pang Wei answered hurriedly, though his voice was extremely weak.
"Why did your Pang Clan capture my father? And why did you call me a 'little bastard' the moment you saw me?" Ye Yunfei questioned.
"Because… because your mother was originally the fiancée of our Pang Clan's Second Young Master. But your mother objected to this marriage arrangement and left the clan to avoid it. Later, outside, she met your father, secretly married him, and gave birth to you.
Therefore, both you and your father are considered a disgrace to our Pang Clan.
This time, our Pang Clan's Second Young Master sent us to capture you, father and son, and bring you back."
Pang Wei hesitated for a moment before speaking the truth.
"What?!
Are you telling the truth?" Hearing this, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but tremble.
This was the first time Ye Yunfei had heard anything about his background!
"A thousand times true," Pang Wei quickly nodded.
"Then what about my mother?
Is she still alive?" Ye Yunfei took a deep breath, forcing his emotions to calm down, and asked.
"She's alive. However, she's been imprisoned in a dungeon by the Miao Clan for over a decade now.
The Miao Clan also views her as a disgrace," Pang Song chimed in, eager to answer.
"So my mother is still alive!" Pang Song's words sent a wave of wild joy surging through Ye Yunfei in an instant.
"So, my mother is surnamed Miao, and she is imprisoned in a dungeon by her own family, correct?" Ye Yunfei took another deep, measured breath and asked, enunciating each word clearly.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei's heart was filled with boundless fury, yet also a wild ecstasy.
Because his mother was still alive!
Actually, when he was young, Ye Yunfei had asked his father, Ye Tianpeng, many times where his mother was.
But every time this question was raised, Ye Tianpeng never gave a direct answer, only sighing heavily, with tears welling up in his eyes.
After it happened too many times, the topic of his mother became a forbidden subject between father and son, buried deep in their hearts, with neither willing to bring it up.
Only now had Ye Yunfei finally learned about his mother's whereabouts!
"Pang Clan!
Miao Clan!
Just you wait!" Ye Yunfei's gaze turned icy, his killing intent soaring to the heavens. At that moment, Pang Wei and Pang Song felt as if the air around them had solidified!
Following that, Ye Yunfei inquired further and clarified the current location of Ye Tianpeng. Then, with a palm strike for each, he killed Pang Wei and Pang Song and extracted their Bloodline Essence.
Over this period, Ye Yunfei had killed many Star Bridge Realm experts, and he extracted the Bloodline Essence from each one.
The Bloodline Essence of Star Bridge Realm experts could already be used to cultivate the Demonic Heaven Blood Fusion Body Tempering Art.
"I must go rescue Father now.
But, two Sea Opening Realm experts are personally guarding him. With my current strength, I can't defeat them."
Remembering the information Pang Wei and Pang Song had provided earlier, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but frown.
"No matter what, I must find a way to rescue Father first."
Ye Yunfei pondered this in his heart.
Suddenly.
Ye Yunfei's gaze turned towards a certain direction.
"For now, the only plan is to borrow strength." Ye Yunfei murmured to himself.
Thus, Ye Yunfei left the Phantom Tower, took out his starship, and began traveling through the starry sky.
One day later.
Rumble…
Ahead, thunder roared to the heavens. A vast, endless sea of lightning churned violently, emitting waves of destructive aura.
The Thunder Abyss!
Ye Yunfei had once again arrived at the Thunder Abyss!
Ye Yunfei put away his starship, released the Thunder Beast, and then walked into the Thunder Abyss together with it, heading towards the central region.
Having devoured five Thunder Dragon inner elixirs, the Thunder Beast could now move freely within this Thunder Abyss without facing any threats.
Therefore, Ye Yunfei and the Thunder Beast's progress was extremely fast this time.
In less than two days, they arrived at the central region of the Thunder Abyss.
"Young man, you've returned?"
In the distance, above the stone coffin guarded by five thunder dragons, the figure of the burly man materialized, looking at Ye Yunfei with a curious expression.
"Sir, I have a request for you," Ye Yunfei said directly.
"A request?
Tell me and I'll listen," the burly man thought for a moment and replied.
"My father has been captured. The enemy's strength is too great; with my current power, I cannot save him. Therefore, I have come to request your assistance, Senior," Ye Yunfei stated openly.
"You want me to go rescue your father?" The burly man was taken aback.
"My current situation, as you can see… I hide within this sea of starry sky thunder to heal my wounds and to evade the pursuit of my enemies.
Once I leave this sea of thunder, my enemies can easily track me down.
I can hardly ensure my own safety right now. How would I have the ability to help you?"
The burly man sighed with emotion.
"Sir, if you help me, then I can help your arm recover to its peak condition in the shortest possible time.
Moreover, I have a treasure here that can perfectly obscure the Heavenly Secrets and block all types of divination and sensory perception. It can guarantee you won't be detected even if you leave this sea of thunder."
After thinking for a moment, Ye Yunfei said.
As he spoke, Ye Yunfei took out a piece of yellow cloth.
The Heaven-Shrouding Cover!
A treasure of profound importance from the Heavenly Secrets Sect of the Xuanhuang Star Domain!
"Sir, please sense for yourself." Ye Yunfei waved his hand. The yellow cloth soared, expanding with the wind until it was the size of several acres of land, hovering above Ye Yunfei's head like a mass of yellow clouds, radiating beams of yellow law-light.
Ye Yunfei stood directly beneath the Heaven-Shrouding Cover.
"What treasure is this?" The burly man was somewhat puzzled and immediately released his Soul Power to sense it.
"I can't sense anything at all!"
The next moment, the burly man was greatly astonished.
He discovered that his Soul Power could no longer sense Ye Yunfei's presence whatsoever.
Yet his eyes could clearly see Ye Yunfei standing right there!
"Sir, rest assured. This treasure has three wondrous properties: first, it can obscure the Heavenly Secrets, isolating the perception of this world's laws; second, it can block all forms of divination; third, it can block all Soul Power perception.
Of course, if one encounters a particularly formidable master of divination in the field of augury and fortune-telling who personally performs a divination, they might still capture some traces.
But masters of that level should be exceedingly rare in this world."
Ye Yunfei explained.
"This treasure is indeed profound. Even I cannot sense you," the burly man exclaimed with admiration.
"Young man, just now you said you could help my arm recover to its peak condition in the shortest time?
Is that true?" the burly man asked.
