Ye Yu's situation was relatively good. With his healing ability, his injuries recovered quickly, and he was completely healed in just three days.
However, the search and pursuit of Ye Yu continued. With the massive machinery of the Heavenly Palace operating, as long as Ye Yu remained within the country, he had no hope of escaping.
Ye Yu had just devoured a beast when he was discovered by people from the Heavenly Palace.
He killed those who found him, erased his tracks, and then continued to flee.
Ye Yu always felt something was amiss, something about the dragon tattoo on his back.
Without the dragon scales, the true power of the dragon tattoo could not be unleashed.
Alas!
Ye Yu sighed deeply.
If he could, why would he not want to retrieve the scales?
It was just that the man who had been chasing him back then was too terrifying.
The moment he thought of the pressure that man exerted on him, Ye Yu decided it was best to lie low and develop his strength first.
Ye Yu ran further and further away, trying to reach the edge to absorb beasts and grow stronger.
But after a week, the dragon tattoo seemed to gradually reach saturation, or perhaps it was a reminder that he needed the scales.
Unable to absorb any more power, Ye Yu had no choice but to find that man and reclaim the scales.
"It seems I have no choice but to make a trip."
Ye Yu sighed, transforming into a stream of data and soaring into the sky, flying further and further away.
Ye Yu was not very familiar with his data ability at first, but he had gained some proficiency through constant use recently.
...
Zhao Yunhai was also a filial son. He could forgo his father's gift, but his mother's gift was a must.
So, before returning, Zhao Yunhai planned to capture a beast to accompany his mother, also to protect her.
Such a beast that could be kept by one's side was difficult to find – it had to be good-looking, easy to tame, and not too weak in strength.
Using the Heavenly Palace's resources to search took considerable time, but fortunately, they found one.
This beast had good strength, and to deliver it to his mother intact, Zhao Yunhai personally went to capture it.
"Pass through a hundred flowers without touching a single petal."
Zhao Yunhai's mood relaxed considerably as he looked at the sea of flowers before him.
"So beautiful." Even Yang Hui was stunned by the sight of the flower sea.
She had seen seas of flowers before, but none bloomed so vibrantly, so magnificently.
"Illusion Butterfly Flower Sea, Illusion Butterflies that inhabit flower seas."
Zhao Yunhai had just exclaimed when he noticed everyone's eyes were entranced by the pollen scattered by the Illusion Butterflies.
This was an illusion.
Illusion Butterflies were relatively gentle compared to other mutated beasts, but their strength was not to be underestimated.
At best, they could trap people in illusions from which they could not escape; at worst, they could make people live out their entire lives within an illusion, visibly aging and dying.
This was the gift Zhao Yunhai intended for his mother.
"Awaken."
Zhao Yunhai's voice, which resonated in their minds like a Buddhist chant, instantly shattered the illusions everyone was caught in, bringing them back to their senses.
"Young Master Yun." Si Jinyan and the others bowed their heads in shame.
"Yunhai, what happened to me just now?"
Yang Hui asked nervously.
"It's nothing, just an illusion. The Illusion Butterfly's abilities are indeed impressive."
The stronger it was, the more satisfied Zhao Yunhai became.
"It can easily trap people in illusions. If I give this to Auntie, it can also protect her safety."
Yang Hui marveled at the power of the Illusion Butterfly.
It was said that villains and protagonists were naturally opposed, yet they often met by coincidence.
Ye Yu thought of absorbing the last Illusion Butterfly beast before going to find the man with the scales.
The flower sea was vast, all created by the Illusion Butterflies. This butterfly liked flower seas, and where the flower sea was, that was its territory.
Beasts were very sensitive to their territories. Once someone entered, they would immediately sense it and become enraged.
They considered intruders to be a provocation against them.
A crisp roar from the beast echoed.
Boom!!!
Deep within the flower sea, a massive explosion sounded, scattering flower petals everywhere.
The rich floral fragrance was swept over by a strong wind.
"A'da, A'er, A'san, protect her and leave first. Si Jinyan, lead your team and follow me."
Zhao Yunhai's gaze sharpened as he looked into the depths, taking out the faintly glowing scales.
"You refuse the path to heaven, and instead break into hell on your own."
Yang Hui cast a deep glance at Yunhai and then left under the protection of A'da and the others.
She knew that by staying, she would not only be unable to help but might also cause him distraction.
Leaving decisively was the greatest help she could offer Yunhai.
"Young Master Yun, Chu Ning has also arrived. It seems he has found Ye Yu here."
"The commotion just now was likely caused by Ye Yu's conflict with the Illusion Butterfly."
Si Jinyan received the news and quickly reported it to Young Master Yun.
"That's good. Clean up this area and rest here for now."
Since Chu Ning and the young monk Wuchen had also arrived, Zhao Yunhai was too lazy to deal with Ye Yu himself.
"Yes." Si Jinyan cupped his hands and quickly instructed his team to clean up the surroundings.
Zhao Yunhai sat on a chair, with relaxing music playing and desserts and drinks by his side.
That's right, Zhao Yunhai was here on vacation.
While waiting for Chu Ning and the little monk, the fight over there had not yet ended.
The beast's ability was illusion, and although Ye Yu had copied it, he was not as skilled in its use as this Illusion Butterfly.
Dreamlike, as if real, yet not quite real. The Illusion Butterfly was indeed troublesome.
Perhaps the Illusion Butterfly's true strength was not equal to Ye Yu's, but it could still hold Ye Yu back for a while.
"Young Master Yun."
Chu Ning did not expect Ye Yu to dare to challenge authority, truly walking into hell.
"Don't disappoint me."
Zhao Yunhai nodded at him and said.
With the assistance of the young monk Wuchen, he believed Ye Yu's protagonist halo would not play too significant a role.
"Don't worry, Young Master Yun, I will certainly not disappoint you."
After Chu Ning's assurance, he personally led the young monk Wuchen and the large team behind him into the flower sea.
"Young Master Yun, can he do it?" Si Jinyan had some doubts about Chu Ning's ability.
His previous failure had eroded Si Jinyan's trust in Chu Ning.
"Don't worry, with Wuchen here. Go and get me a live broadcast, I want to watch it personally."
Zhao Yunhai chuckled, showing his full confidence in Wuchen.
"Yes." Si Jinyan bowed and went to carry out the order.
Deep within the flower sea, the Illusion Butterfly was everywhere, and Ye Yu was vexed by his inability to find its true form.
"He's really like a persistent shadow."
An unwelcome guest appeared. Upon seeing the newcomer, Ye Yu sneered, "You actually didn't die, you're quite lucky."
"Hahaha... You'll die before I do."
Chu Ning looked at him coldly.
"Amitabha, surrender to my Buddha, and turn back to the shore."
The young monk Wuchen looked at Ye Yu, clasped his hands together, and Buddhist intent, accompanied by mental energy, surged towards Ye Yu.
"My Buddha..."
Ye Yu's expression became dazed, and he murmured to himself. The next moment, Ye Yu's expression changed, and he quickly regained his senses.
"Little monk, you've picked up some strange tricks."
Ye Yu looked at the little monk beside Chu Ning with some apprehension, and simultaneously copied his mental ability.
