These four to five hundred people had been imprisoned in the dungeon on Yinxia Star. For the least amount of time, it had been seventy to eighty years.
Some of them had been locked away for several hundred years.
To have suddenly left that dungeon and regained their freedom now was an indescribably exhilarating feeling for them.
"Young Master, thank you for your great kindness in saving us!"
An elderly man with hoary hair took a step forward and performed a deep bow to Ye Yunfei.
He was the first one who had pleaded with Ye Yunfei for rescue.
"Thank you, Young Master, for your great kindness in saving us!"
All the others immediately followed suit, bowing towards Ye Yunfei and speaking in unison.
"There's no need for such courtesy," Ye Yunfei waved his hand dismissively.
"Everyone, where would you like to go next? What are your plans?" Ye Yunfei suddenly asked.
"Plans..."
Those people were taken aback by Ye Yunfei's question, then fell silent.
This was because most of these individuals had had their cultivation crippled. A small minority, although not completely crippled, had been sealed.
Thus, these four to five hundred people were essentially mortals without any cultivation. In the vast expanse of the starry sky, where could they go? What plans could they possibly have?
Moreover, there was an even more serious problem for them: once the Pang Clan learned they had been rescued, they would undoubtedly dispatch forces to hunt them down everywhere!
Because, to the Pang Clan, they were all potential sources of trouble!
Without eliminating them, the Pang Clan would certainly not rest easy!
"Young Master, we have now lost all our cultivation; it seems there is nowhere we can go," the elderly man with hoary hair sighed and said to Ye Yunfei.
"Yes.
Young Master, given our current situation, we truly have nowhere to go."
The others also hung their heads, one after another, their spirits low.
For a moment, these several hundred prisoners who had just emerged from the Pang Clan's dungeon were utterly despondent.
"Young Master, our cultivation was sealed.
The ones who sealed us were Sea Splitting Realm experts of the Pang Clan.
We wonder if Young Master is capable of removing the seals on our bodies."
Suddenly, over thirty people came before Ye Yunfei, looking at him with hopeful eyes as they asked.
The cultivation of these thirty-odd individuals had all been sealed.
Among them, the strongest were eight at the Star Bridge Realm!
The Dantians and meridians within their bodies were still intact. Once the seals were removed, they could immediately regain their strength.
However, they had been sealed by Sea Splitting Realm experts of the Pang Clan. The sealing technique was exquisite, and the energy of the seal was formidable.
Therefore, helping them break the seals was not easy; it required an expert with considerable strength.
"I can certainly remove the seals on your bodies," Ye Yunfei nodded, then flicked his sleeve. A surge of powerful spiritual energy spread out, rushing into the bodies of those thirty-odd individuals.
In less than the time of a single breath, the seals within all thirty-odd people were completely lifted.
It could be said that there were few sealing techniques in the world that could truly trouble Ye Yunfei.
"Our seals are broken!"
Those thirty-odd people were each overjoyed.
Boom boom...
Waves of powerful spiritual energy pressure poured out from within their bodies.
Especially the eight Star Bridge Realm cultivators, who wantonly released their spiritual pressure, laughing heartily.
"Hahaha...
Young man, thank you.
Not only did you rescue us, you even helped us break the seals!
Rest assured, we will compensate you," a burly man laughed loudly as he said.
"Oh, is that so?"
Ye Yunfei looked at him coldly, replying indifferently.
This burly man no longer addressed Ye Yunfei as 'Young Master,' but changed to 'young man.' His attitude had clearly shifted.
"By the way, young man, I'm truly curious. How did you manage to rescue us from the Pang Clan's dungeon with your level of strength?"
After his initial elation subsided, the burly man asked Ye Yunfei.
None of these several hundred people Ye Yunfei had rescued from the Yinxia Star dungeon had seen the Giant Arm, nor did they know how Ye Yunfei had broken into that dungeon to save them.
"I naturally have my methods," Ye Yunfei answered lightly.
Hearing Ye Yunfei's reply, the burly man was taken aback.
"Young man, we are currently inside one of your spatial treasures, correct? The space within this treasure is so vast; its grade must be quite high," another short-statured man suddenly asked.
"Yes.
This spatial treasure of mine does indeed have a high grade. It belongs to the category of relatively rare spatial treasures," Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
"So that's how it is," the short man murmured, a flicker of greed flashing in his eyes.
"Alright, your cultivation has been restored.
If you wish to leave, you may depart now," Ye Yunfei said.
"Young man, we currently possess nothing, and we have no spacecraft either. We simply have nowhere to go.
How about this: since you've been a good man so far, why not see it through to the end and provide us with some travel funds?" the burly man suddenly proposed.
"Of course," Ye Yunfei said, flicking his finger. Over thirty space rings flew out, landing before those thirty-odd individuals.
"Young Master, could you gift this spatial treasure of yours to me?
After all, your realm is merely at the late-stage Soul Formation Realm—far too low.
Carrying such a high-grade treasure on your person is akin to 'bearing a treasure becomes a crime.' It's very unsafe," the short man's gaze suddenly turned sharp as he stared at Ye Yunfei and spoke up.
Moreover, while speaking, this short man released a rolling wave of spiritual pressure from his body, intentionally or unintentionally pressing towards Ye Yunfei's location.
Precisely because he felt Ye Yunfei's realm was low, his strength weak, and there were no powerful followers by his side, did he think of seizing Ye Yunfei's possessions.
"Oh?
So it seems you've taken a fancy to my spatial treasure.
What, thinking of forcibly taking it?" Ye Yunfei's expression darkened as he asked with a cold laugh.
"Young man, I'm merely offering well-intentioned advice," the short man took a step forward, closing in on Ye Yunfei. The rolling spiritual pressure now directly pressed towards Ye Yunfei, no longer concealed.
Seeing the short man act this way, the others around them all paled with shock.
After all, it was Ye Yunfei who had rescued him from the Pang Clan's dungeon and even helped him break the seal. Who would have thought that in the blink of an eye, he would turn around and try to rob Ye Yunfei of his treasure?
"Brother Guo, isn't this inappropriate?
No matter what, it was this young man who helped us," the burly man questioned.
"Hahaha...
Brother Kang, don't worry. He helped us, so I definitely won't harm him.
However, it's truly unsuitable for him to carry such a valuable treasure.
Brother Kang, since this young man possesses such a treasure, he might well have other treasures on him. You could ask him about it," the short man laughed.
"That's also true," the burly man's expression shifted slightly, then he immediately nodded.
"How can you act like this? This young master is our great benefactor! If not for him, both of you would still be locked in the Pang Clan's dungeon!
You are repaying kindness with malice now!" an old man who couldn't stand it any longer spoke up to question.
Boom!
The short man flicked his finger, sending a surge of spiritual energy crashing out. It struck the old man on the spot, sending him flying to crash down in the distance, where he vomited blood repeatedly.
This short man was a Star Bridge Realm late-stage expert!
Whereas that old man's Dantian and meridians were already destroyed, leaving him powerless to even tie up a chicken!
Ye Yunfei's expression instantly turned icy cold.
"Anyone who dares to meddle in others' business shouldn't blame me for being impolite," the short man sneered.
"Alright, young man, I won't waste any more words.
Hand over this spatial treasure of yours to me.
Rest assured, I absolutely will not harm you," the short man looked at Ye Yunfei and said.
"What do the rest of you think? Should I hand over the spatial treasure to him?" Ye Yunfei's gaze suddenly turned towards the other thirty-odd individuals whose seals had just been removed and strength restored.
"Young Master, rest assured, I stand by your side!
I, He Ming, may be a rough man, but I also know what it means to repay grievances with force and kindness with gratitude.
Young Master, you are my great benefactor. Even if it costs me my life, I, He Ming, stand by your side!"
Suddenly, a man whose body was both short and stocky, like an iron tower, stepped forward and stood beside Ye Yunfei, proclaiming loudly.
This man was at the Star Bridge Realm mid-stage.
"Young Master, we also stand by your side!"
Another twelve men walked over to stand beside Ye Yunfei.
The remaining twenty-five people remained standing where they were, their expressions hesitant and indecisive.
Because the short man who had challenged Ye Yunfei and the burly man were both Star Bridge Realm late-stage experts!
Here and now, they were the strongest in terms of realm!
"And you? What do you think?" Ye Yunfei's gaze swept towards the other several hundred people as he asked indifferently.
"Young Master, although I have lost all my cultivation now, I have always been clear about gratitude and grudges. I stand by your side!" The elderly man with hoary hair walked over to Ye Yunfei and spoke up.
"Young Master, you are our great benefactor. We are willing to share life and death with you!"
Following that, over two hundred people walked over to stand beside Ye Yunfei.
"Mmm, it seems I didn't waste my effort in rescuing you," Ye Yunfei said, slightly surprised, then nodded.
"Heh heh, daring to oppose me, Guo Feng? You're tired of living," the short man sneered.
"Brother Kang, let's attack together and deal with these flies first," Guo Feng said to the burly man.
"Agreed," the Kang surnamed man nodded.
"I can rescue you and restore your cultivation, and I can also return you to your former state," Ye Yunfei's gaze swept over Guo Feng and the Kang surnamed man as he spoke coldly.
"Senior, cripple their cultivation."
Ye Yunfei spoke to the Giant Arm.
Boom boom...
The next moment, the Giant Arm shot over from the distance at an astonishing speed, appearing beside Ye Yunfei and releasing a terrifying aura of energy.
"What is this?!"
Everyone present was greatly shocked.
Boom boom boom...
Everyone, including Guo Feng and the Kang surnamed man, unable to withstand the Giant Arm's energy aura, was pressed flat onto the ground on the spot, completely immobilized!
"This is a grave situation!"
Guo Feng and the Kang surnamed man's expressions changed dramatically. Looking at the Giant Arm hovering beside Ye Yunfei, they instantly realized they had committed a colossal blunder!
The consequences would be extremely severe!
