# Chapter 1616: Yao Ye
After Fox Moon left Lin Feng, her figure flickered rapidly as she gazed into the distance ahead. Toward the direction of Yao Ye Island, a point of light moved at an extreme speed, even faster than her own.
She had originally wanted to escort Lin Feng a bit further, but when she saw that light in the void, she hurriedly placed Lin Feng in the mountain range, letting him leave while she herself rushed back quickly.
"I wonder if it's someone from the Wuji Palace. If so, they arrived far too quickly," Fox Moon thought to herself. Fortunately, she had taken the lead in sending Lin Feng away. Even if it really was someone from the Wuji Palace, they wouldn't be able to find Lin Feng.
Just as Fox Moon had guessed, that point of light was indeed a person. Moreover, this person's figure descended directly above the skies of Yao Ye Island.
"Yao Ye Island!" In the void, this person's brows were as sharp as swords and blades. He wore a simple long robe, appearing quite ordinary. Only his eyes, brilliant like stars, swept across the area below. Terrifying divine sense power spread out, sweeping across the land of Yao Ye Island, not missing a single inch of ground. There was no need to ask questions—first, find the person.
The divine sense power descended, enveloping a region of Yao Ye Island. Immediately, many demon beasts on the island revealed strange expressions, feeling a sense of being spied upon. But when they looked up toward the void, they could see nothing at all.
Yao Ye Island was a place where demon beasts gathered, extremely vast. Even this terrifying expert could only sweep through it slowly. As time passed, the expert's brow furrowed. His figure flickered slightly, changing position again as he continued to spy on the Yao Ye Island below.
After Fox Moon returned, she stood atop a mountain peak as if nothing had happened, her red robe billowing in the wind. After some time, it seemed a gaze swept over her and vanished in an instant, causing a strange light to appear in her beautiful eyes. It seemed her guess was correct—an expert from the Wuji Palace had indeed arrived. Others might not care about that fleeting sensation of being watched, but she was prepared, so she naturally understood what that fleeting feeling meant. This made her feel fortunate. If she hadn't sent Lin Feng away, things would have truly been terrible.
Her figure trembled slightly, her red robe dancing in the void. After a moment, Fox Moon's body arrived before Shen Yu, transmitting her voice: "Didn't you feel like you were being spied on?"
A sharp gleam flashed in Shen Yu's piercing black eyes as he stared at Fox Moon: "There was indeed a fleeting sensation, but I couldn't detect anything, so I didn't pay it much attention."
"It might be someone from the Wuji Palace," Fox Moon said to Shen Yu, causing his expression to stiffen and his brows to furrow tightly.
"No need to be nervous. I've already sent Lin Feng away. He's no longer in this vast sea area now. Even if that person's strength is heaven-defying, he can't search for someone across this boundless sea," Fox Moon continued to transmit. "But if he can't find the person, he'll probably directly demand him from us. When that happens, we don't need to hold out stubbornly—just go along with him."
Seeing the smile in Fox Moon's beautiful eyes, Shen Yu nodded: "I understand your meaning. Let's wait and see."
The two understood each other tacitly. Then they both sat down, closed their eyes, and rested, letting the other party search as they pleased. Since the other party couldn't find Lin Feng anyway, what did they have to worry about?
Sure enough, the expert in the void spent considerable time sweeping through the entire Yao Ye Island but still found no trace of Lin Feng. At this moment, his brows twitched, appearing especially sharp. He looked at the vast sea area in the distance—this sea had thousands of demon islands, and he couldn't possibly search them all.
Thinking this, he took a step forward. Instantly, the clouds rolled and churned violently. A magnificent scene appeared in the void as the white clouds roared, causing many demon beasts on Yao Ye Island to let out roaring sounds. They looked toward the void and saw a pair of exceptionally sharp eyes.
"So someone really was spying." These demon beasts glared angrily, but sensing the surging pressure, they deeply understood the other party's power.
"It seems Azure Emperor Mountain and the Wuji Palace have some connection, otherwise the Wuji Palace wouldn't have sent someone so quickly," Shen Yu thought to himself as he looked at the powerful figure in the void.
"In the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortress Region, who crippled my Wuji Palace disciple?" The expert in the void coldly spat out a voice, and rolling sound waves spread across Yao Ye Island.
Shen Yu and Fox Moon exchanged glances, then both rose into the air.
"It was you two?" The expert's eyes were like sharp blades, staring at Shen Yu and Fox Moon.
"Senior, in the Nine Immortal Palaces and Heavenly Fortress Region, I did indeed cripple someone. But that person was arrogant and rude, trying to capture a Venerable Martial disciple from my Yao Ye Island. I thought a Mid-rank Emperor from the Wuji Palace wouldn't stoop to dealing with a Venerable Martial cultivator, so I assumed he was falsely using the Wuji Palace's name and crippled his cultivation. I hope Senior won't take offense," Fox Moon said very politely.
"Where is that Venerable Martial cultivator now?" The expert in the void asked directly. Qi Yunlei being crippled was a minor matter—Lin Feng was his real target.
"Reporting to Senior, after we brought that Venerable Martial disciple to Yao Ye Island, he left in a hurry. I don't know what business he had. When I asked him, he said he was going out for training. Now we don't know his whereabouts either. Does Senior seek a Venerable Martial disciple for some matter? Is there anything we can help with?"
Fox Moon responded calmly. But at this moment, the expert in the void took a step forward, descending above Fox Moon. A terrifying pressure descended from the heavens, landing on Fox Moon, causing her entire body to tense up.
"Open your divine sense and let me probe your memories." The expert's gaze was like a knife. How could he believe Fox Moon's one-sided words? That person was of great importance. According to his master, he might be related to the master's legacy and had to be brought back.
"Senior, although I am a demon beast, I am still a woman. Naturally, I have many secrets of my own. Senior probing my memories is rather too demanding," Fox Moon's expression changed slightly, displeasure showing in her beautiful eyes.
"Hmph!" The void expert snorted coldly. Divine sense light burst forth, ready to invade. What he wanted to do could not be refused.
But at this moment, night descended. The entire clear sky seemed to suddenly disappear, replaced by darkness. The whole void was shrouded in the shadow of night.
"Oh?" The expert frowned, looking up toward the void. There was nothing—only darkness.
"Yao Ye." The Wuji Palace expert spat out a cold voice. He couldn't even see the other party's true form—only night.
"You used your divine sense to spy on my Yao Ye Island. I won't pursue that matter now. But do you still intend to touch my subordinates?" A cold voice descended from the night, impossible to trace to its source, as if it came from the darkness itself.
"Her memories concern a person very important to my Wuji Palace. I must find that person."
"You want to invade her memories? Fine. Then let me invade yours as well." The voice from the night descended again, causing a cold light to flash in the expert's eyes. He was a Great Emperor—how could he allow someone to probe his memories? The memories of any expert contained too many unspeakable matters and secrets. He was no exception. Who would willingly open their memories for others to see?
"Since you know how unacceptable it is to have one's memories invaded, why force my subordinate? She has already said the person isn't here. That means he isn't here."
"Just because of her one sentence, I have to make a wasted trip?"
"You can also choose to stay. But remember—do not touch anyone on Yao Ye Island." The voice from the night remained calm throughout, but carried an unquestionable tone.
The Wuji Palace expert's expression was very cold. The master of Yao Ye Island, Lord Yao Ye, had always been mysterious and unfathomable. Few had even seen his true form. Aside from the powerful demon beasts of Yao Ye Island, not many knew what kind of demon beast his original body was. Facing such an existence, he felt a trace of wariness.
"That person—my Wuji Palace wants him."
"If you find him, take him away. That's the face I'm giving the Wuji Palace. But if you don't find him, I hope the Wuji Palace can also give me face. Don't try to lay hands on my people on Yao Ye Island. Even if the Wuji Palace Palace Lord comes in person, I'll say the same. Otherwise, you'll bear the consequences." A domineering voice came from the night. Then the darkness slowly receded, and sunlight poured down, as if the night had never existed. This mysterious and unfathomable ability caused the Wuji Palace expert to frown deeply. Yao Ye said that if he found the person, he could take him away—that was indeed giving face to the Wuji Palace, with no fault to be found. But he was very uncomfortable with the other party's aggressive attitude.
This Yao Ye seemed very proud.
"Fine. Then I'll stay on Yao Ye Island for a while." The Wuji Palace expert said coldly. As a Great Emperor, he could cultivate anywhere. A few years were just a snap of the fingers. He wanted to see if Lin Feng would appear.
Fox Moon breathed a slight sigh of relief, but felt somewhat alarmed inside. Lord Yao Ye was too terrifying. It seemed nothing could be hidden from him. Lord Yao Ye must know about Lin Feng's matter.
Moreover, this Great Emperor from the Wuji Palace actually wanted to stay on Yao Ye Island, which surprised her. Quite troublesome. But the Wuji Palace's power was too vast, and Lord Yao Ye clearly didn't want to clash with them either.
At this moment, Lin Feng was rushing along the road with Mu Yi. That Great Emperor would never have imagined that he had once flown right over the person he was looking for.
