"..."
The faces of the three changed. Was this guy a demon?
The man in red said with a dark expression, gritting his teeth.
"Anything you want to ask, I'll tell you!"
"That's more like it. Prisoners should act like prisoners!"
Ye Yun's lips curved slightly. He was quite satisfied with the man's attitude.
"Then let's talk properly."
With things reaching this point, the man in red seemed to have completely given up.
Looking at Ye Yun, he revealed all the information he possessed.
"The reason we could break through space was..."
He spoke at length, and Ye Yun summarized the information provided.
Basically, in the world he came from, he had accidentally obtained a scattered ancient text with incredible records.
The content essentially stated that the great world, similar to the Heavenly Realm, might not be the only one, and there were many parallel great worlds.
However, for some unknown reason, these great worlds never interacted with each other. The writer of the book had spent his life pursuing this matter.
Eventually, he provided an experimental method to break through the dimensional barrier, but it required extremely powerful strength and the success rate was not high.
Therefore, he joined forces with other peak Emperor-level powerhouses from the same world to jointly operate the method, and then they arrived in this world.
According to the man, his great world, like the Heavenly Realm, also had many subordinate small worlds, and one would ascend to the great world after reaching a certain cultivation level.
After listening, Ye Yun raised an eyebrow.
"It seems your method wasn't very reliable."
"What do you mean?"
The man in red looked confused, not understanding why Ye Yun said that.
Ye Yun gave him a sideways glance and said playfully.
"According to your description, you should have been teleported to another great world. But this world is just a small world subordinate to our great world."
"How is that possible?!"
Astonishment filled the man in red's face.
How could a small world have Emperor-level powerhouses?
In other words, if even a small world was so powerful, how terrifying must the great world to which this small world belonged be?
"Believe it or not, I've mostly figured things out."
Ye Yun shrugged. Although he had learned of the method to break through dimensions, considering the fate of these individuals, he had no intention of exploring other worlds immediately.
After all, it wasn't reliable. He would explore other worlds later.
The most important matter at hand was how to deal with these three individuals.
After a moment of thought, he extended two fingers.
"Now, I give you two choices: either be branded with a master-servant mark by me."
As soon as he finished speaking, one of the men in blue immediately said.
"I choose the second option!"
Ye Yun glanced at him and suddenly summoned the True Phoenix Flame.
With a wave of his hand, surging flames engulfed the man, burning him to ashes with screams.
After finishing this, he smiled at the remaining two.
"Or death. You choose."
These people wanted to invade Star Dance's world and attacked him, so he naturally wouldn't let them off.
Even the master-servant mark was only because he might need Emperor-level powerhouses later; otherwise, he would have burned them all with a single flame.
However, even after the precedent set by the previous man, the other man in white coldly said.
"Isn't it just death? This Emperor would rather die than be your slave!"
"Heh heh, you have some backbone. Then I'll grant your wish."
Ye Yun attacked again without mercy.
The man in white was instantly engulfed by flames, and in a moment, he was reduced to ashes.
It was clear he had no intention of letting any of them go.
Finally, Ye Yun's gaze fell on the remaining man in red, who had been the most aggressive at the beginning.
"What do you say? Survival or death? You choose."
"..."
Looking at Ye Yun's amicable smile, he felt like he was facing a demon.
Especially as the scorching flames gradually approached, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.
Clearly, for him, life seemed more important than dignity.
"I... agree."
"Good. It seems there are still intelligent people among you."
Ye Yun nodded with satisfaction. This way, he gained another helper.
After this, he placed a master-servant mark on the man. With this mark, almost everything about the man was under his control, and he didn't have to worry about betrayal.
He could obliterate the man with a single thought, even across vast distances and through space-time.
Through conversation, he also learned that the man's name was Xu Feng, and he and the two who were killed earlier were the top three powerhouses in their world.
What differed from the Heavenly Realm was that in their great world, they primarily practiced blood arts, similar to the methods of evil cultivators. Thus, their cultivation levels were generally high, but also very superficial.
Even so, they were still peak Emperor-level powerhouses, considered top-tier in the Heavenly Realm!
As long as he could utilize them well, they could still be of great use.
After dealing with these three, Ye Yun returned to his palace and found Star Dance and Pei Yan again.
By this time, they seemed to have finished their explanations.
Then, the remaining matter was simple: to create a spatial passage that led directly to the Heavenly Realm.
What would have been a troublesome task was easily accomplished with the combined efforts of Ye Yun, Star Dance, and the newly captured Xu Feng, all three top Emperor-level powerhouses.
A spatial passage connecting the Abyssal Continent and the Heavenly Realm opened within the forbidden area of the Holy City.
With everything resolved, Ye Yun, Star Dance, and Xu Feng were about to leave through the entrance of the spatial passage.
"Remember what I said earlier, strictly control who enters and leaves the Heavenly Realm. Everyone must be registered before entering, and security must be tight."
Before leaving, Star Dance was still instructing Pei Yan.
Clearly, she had considered the potential hidden dangers of establishing a spatial passage, as previously mentioned by Xing Lian.
With a great disaster looming, she did not want to see an invasion war between the Heavenly Realm and the Abyssal Continent beforehand.
Pei Yan nodded. "You can rest assured about this. I know what I'm doing."
She turned to Ye Yun and said with a charming smile.
"I certainly won't make things difficult for my clan or for Ye Yun."
"I hope so."
Ye Yun smiled faintly. He did believe in her character.
At this moment, Pei Yan asked with a smile.
"By the way, Ye Yun, as we part, are you sure you won't give me a farewell hug?"
Her beautiful eyes blinked, exuding irresistible allure.
"This..."
Ye Yun looked at her front. Before he could refuse.
He was pulled by Star Dance and stepped into the spatial passage.
"We have some matters to attend to, so we'll be leaving first."
As they departed, Xu Feng also stepped through.
Although Ye Yun had left first, with the master-servant contract in place, he dared not harbor any mischievous thoughts.
