At the instant he was discovered by the Demon Beasts, Ye Haochuan rapidly activated his Invisibility Ability, drifting lightly through the herd of Demon Beasts and stepping into that third courtyard where people were imprisoned, leaving those Demon Beasts all dumbfounded.

His Perspective Eyes swept quickly, and the faces of everyone in the courtyard were instantly taken in.

"Still not her!"

Ye Haochuan didn’t know whether he should feel relieved or disappointed—relieved that Long Keyue hadn’t been violated, disappointed that he still hadn’t found her; he couldn’t even be sure whether Long Keyue was still alive.

"There’s one last residence!"

Ye Haochuan looked at a large estate in the distance and muttered.

This estate was clearly much larger than the courtyards of the first three groups of prisoners. Ye Haochuan was still far away, but he could still see some of the situation inside the estate through his Perspective.

The people in this estate were much sparser than in the previous three courtyards. Moreover, judging from their bearing, they were also more outstanding.

"So they’ve locked the cultivators up separately?" Ye Haochuan instantly came to a conclusion.

No wonder he had just discovered that, although some people in those three courtyards had reached the Nascent Soul Mid-Stage or Late Stage level, they clearly hadn’t gone through Cultivation; they were relying solely on their Heavenly God Nascent Soul physiques.

Seeing this estate, hope once again rose in Ye Haochuan’s heart.

Long Keyue’s cultivation wasn’t high, but she had cultivated; she should be locked up in there!

With that thought, Ye Haochuan could no longer hold back. He swallowed an Infant Energy Condensation Pill and, while invisible, headed over to scout.

"Woof, woof~"

He hadn’t even gotten close when he heard two sharp barks.

"Fuck, I’ve been found!" Ye Haochuan’s heart suddenly tightened; he hurriedly turned around toward the sound.

One look made his scalp go numb—three Demon Spirit Dogs were charging toward him, leading a large pack of Demon Beasts.

Most of the Demon Beasts behind the Demon Spirit Dogs were the very ones who had already been alarmed earlier and had looked dumbfounded after Ye Haochuan went invisible.

But with the Demon Spirit Dogs leading the way, these Demon Beasts were no longer confused in the slightest, and they all looked extremely enraged.

The most fatal part was that the barking of those Demon Spirit Dogs had also drawn over the Demon Beasts that had originally been guarding outside the estate, forming a pincer attack on Ye Haochuan from front and back.

Ye Haochuan instinctively wanted to run, but among this pack of Demon Beasts were quite a few extremely fast ones; each time, they managed to cut him off before he could get away.

Very soon, Ye Haochuan was completely surrounded in an area less than ten meters across.

"Divine Might!"

With a thought, Ye Haochuan took out the Communicating with God Treasure Order and quickly activated it.

In an instant, the mountain-like pressure of the Communicating with God Treasure Order blasted outward. All the Demon Beasts below Immortal Transformation Early Stage around him were gripped by terror, crouching on the ground, trembling uncontrollably.

Ye Haochuan seized the opportunity and quickly slipped through the gaps between the Demon Beasts.

The several Demon Spirit Dogs were all at the Immortal Transformation Early Stage. Under the suppression of the Communicating with God Treasure Order, they couldn’t move in the slightest, so how could they possibly track Ye Haochuan’s movements now?

But just as Ye Haochuan was about to take the chance to flee, several Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage Demon Beasts and two Immortal Transformation Late-Stage Demon Beasts rushed over and tightly surrounded the invisible Ye Haochuan.

Fuck, I can’t be this unlucky, right?

A bad premonition surged up in Ye Haochuan’s heart.

He was still unwilling and tried once more to break out, but no matter how he ran, the Demon Beasts clearly locked onto his direction.

He could finally be sure that unleashing Divine Might while invisible was really useless as hell.

Divine Might was indeed powerful, but it also exposed Ye Haochuan’s position. All the Demon Beasts could sense where the pressure was emanating from, so what invisibility was there to talk about?

Fuck it, looks like I can only fight to the death!

Ye Haochuan simply dropped his Invisibility and revealed his figure. Since he couldn’t escape, keeping Invisibility on and wasting Spiritual Energy was really not wise.

Roar~

Just as Ye Haochuan appeared, several Demon Beasts around him roared in fury and all lunged at him.

Ye Haochuan gave a fierce flick of the Halberd of Heaven and Earth in his hand, and in an instant knocked back a charging Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage Demon Beast.

Ying ying~

The Halberd of Heaven and Earth seemed to be roused to battle intent; it gave a ringing hum, Cold Flame surging all over its body, as if it were roaring.

"Come on then, even if I die here, this young master is taking a few of you down with me!"

Ye Haochuan bellowed, unleashing the Long Family Technique without the slightest reserve.

The Long Family Technique was, to begin with, a cultivation technique brimming with battle intent. Added to that, Ye Haochuan now truly felt like a trapped beast fighting for its life. His own battle intent was driven to the extreme, resonating with the Long Family Technique, the two feeding off each other, mutually reinforcing, actually boosting his combat power once again.

Bang bang bang~

Several Demon Beasts tried to get close to Ye Haochuan, but all of them were beaten back by his overwhelming strength.

"Roar~"

A Rainbow Thunder Mink at Immortal Transformation Late-Stage felt as though it had been insulted. It threw back its head and roared, and then, with a tearing "chi-la" sound, a bolt of five-colored Lightning suddenly dropped from the void.

This Colorful Thunder was incredibly fast; in a flash, it struck down in front of Ye Haochuan.

Ye Haochuan seemed completely unaware, still using the Halberd of Heaven and Earth to block attacks from other Demon Beasts.

The Colorful Thunder was about to slam into the top of Ye Haochuan’s head.

Yet at that moment, the Halberd of Heaven and Earth traced a strange arc with a light flick; the tip of the halberd accurately tapped against the Colorful Thunder.

Zzzt zzzt~

The Colorful Thunder howled down along the metal shaft of the Halberd of Heaven and Earth, but it enraged the Cold Flame on the weapon.

The Cold Flame churned like a stream of water, suddenly wrapping around the Colorful Thunder.

The Halberd of Heaven and Earth was already a Pseudo-Immortal Peak Magical Treasure, and it had been refined by a Divine Level Artifact Refiner—how could it be a common item?

No one knew where Tian Dang had drawn that Cold Flame from, but its might was terrifying. No matter how the Colorful Thunder thrashed, it could not break free of the Cold Flame’s restraints; like a bird locked in a cage, it tumbled for a while and finally vanished into nothing.

At this moment, Ye Haochuan’s consciousness was completely occupied by the surging battle intent. He only felt an inexhaustible, limitless power welling up from his chest, which he poured out without restraint, swearing to smash into dust anything that dared block his way.

No matter from which direction the Demon Beasts attacked, that seemingly patternless, madly Chaotic Dance of the Halberd of Heaven and Earth could always intercept them at the first instant without the slightest deviation, and then strike back.

In just a few short exchanges, Ye Haochuan actually cut down three Immortal Transformation Mid-Stage Demon Beasts and inflicted serious injuries on another four or five of the same level.

All the remaining Demon Beasts were cowed by Ye Haochuan’s might; none dared take a single step forward.

Even that Rainbow Thunder Mink was hiding far away at this point, afraid of being accidentally hit by Ye Haochuan.

Although the Rainbow Thunder Mink had reached the Immortal Transformation Late-Stage, it was not good at close combat, and its Colorful Thunder attacks were restrained by Ye Haochuan’s Halberd of Heaven and Earth, leaving it at a complete loss for the moment.

Ye Haochuan’s chest was roiling with battle intent, but he had not completely lost his reason. He didn’t pursue the Demon Beasts; instead, taking advantage of a brief opening, he chose to flee toward some concealed spots.

"Roar~"

Just as he felt he was about to escape from danger, he suddenly sensed the ground shaking violently.

A sense of danger surged straight into Ye Haochuan’s heart.
