"You! If you have any ability, face me one-on-one! Massacring those weaker than you, what kind of true warrior is that?!"
A Miao Clan elder with the strength of the Domain Realm roared.
*Shoo!*
Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm simultaneously appeared behind this Miao Clan elder.
*Boom…*
The Giant Arm extended its palm, reaching out like lightning, and grabbed this Miao Clan elder in its grasp.
"Massacring the weak doesn't make a true warrior?
You of the Miao Clan imprisoned my sister for ten years and even wanted to seize the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian within her body, forcibly transplanting it to your Miao Clan's Crown Prince Miao Yifan. Does that count as bullying the weak?
What kind of true warriors are you of the Miao Clan anyway?"
Ye Yunfei stared at this Miao Clan elder, speaking coldly.
"Go die!"
The Giant Arm clenched its hand, exploding this Miao Clan elder into a cloud of bloody mist.
"You truly dare to kill!"
Miao Hanlin and the other high-ranking Miao Clan members' eyes nearly burst with fury.
"What?!"
"Was it false that Crown Prince Miao Yifan of the Miao Clan awakened the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian?
Is the one who truly possesses the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian actually Miao Ziqiong's daughter?"
The guests invited to attend the Celebration Grand Ceremony were deeply shocked upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words.
This was because what the Miao Clan had announced to the world was that Crown Prince Miao Yifan possessed a congenital Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian within his body and was about to awaken it!
"You brat, what nonsense are you spouting!"
"Our Miao Clan's Crown Prince is noble and naturally gifted; he has been born with the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian since childhood and was on the verge of awakening it.
He was unexpectedly murdered by you.
As for your sister, how can she compare to our Crown Prince? She is even less qualified to possess the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian!"
A Miao Clan higher-up shouted.
"Who says my sister isn't qualified to possess the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian?"
"My sister is more qualified than anyone in your entire Miao Clan."
Ye Yunfei sneered.
As his voice fell.
Ye Yunfei directly teleported Xiao Fei out.
"Brother, your spatial treasure is too amazing, so fun!"
The moment Xiao Fei saw Ye Yunfei, she exclaimed excitedly.
The flow of time inside and outside the Phantom Tower was different. During Ye Yunfei's time outside, Xiao Fei and her parents had already spent several days inside.
During those few days, her parents, Hu Miao, Huang Shang, and everyone else in the Phantom Tower had pampered Xiao Fei like a little princess.
Therefore, Xiao Fei had completely regained the innocent vivacity a ten-year-old girl should have.
"Xiao Fei, summon the Vermilion Bird within your body."
Ye Yunfei affectionately patted Xiao Fei's head.
"Okay."
Xiao Fei nodded obediently.
The next moment.
A high-pitched cry erupted from within Xiao Fei's body, and then, a Vermilion Bird bathed in a sea of flames soared out, hovering and swooping around.
"The Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian!"
"It's truly the legendary Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian!"
Countless gazes fixed intently on that Vermilion Bird, feeling immensely awestruck.
It must be known that for martial artists in the Tianluo Star Sea, the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian was a legendary, rare divine vein!
Not just in the Tianluo Star Sea, but even for the entire universe of stars, the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian was absolutely one of the rarest and most precious divine veins.
That was why so many forces had enthusiastically sent people to attend the Miao Clan's Celebration Grand Ceremony, hoping to take the opportunity to draw closer relations with the Miao Clan.
That Vermilion Bird circled Xiao Fei's body, flying back and forth, occasionally stretching out its head to affectionately nuzzle Xiao Fei's head, making her giggle with laughter.
"This Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian was born along with my sister's body; that's why it's so affectionate towards her."
"Moreover, one day ago, my sister had not a shred of cultivation base; she was a mortal who hadn't even set foot on the path of cultivation."
"Now, having awakened the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian, she has broken through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm within a single day."
"Who dares to say my sister isn't qualified to possess the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian?"
Ye Yunfei's gaze swept coldly over the Miao Clan members.
"It really is the strength of the Grotto-Heaven Realm!"
"I heard that Miao Ziqiong's daughter was imprisoned by the Miao Clan for ten years and truly had never cultivated before. Who would have thought she could break through to the Grotto-Heaven Realm in a single day now!"
"Truly worthy of the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian!"
"It seems the one who truly possesses the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian is Miao Ziqiong's daughter, not the Miao Clan's Crown Prince Miao Yifan!"
...
Looking at the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian affectionately hovering around Xiao Fei, how could the guests invited to the Celebration Grand Ceremony not understand that the one who truly possessed the Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian was Xiao Fei!
Not the Miao Clan Crown Prince!
"Stealing someone's divine vein, severing their destiny... The Miao Clan's tactics are truly base!"
Many guests lowered their voices, quietly discussing.
"Dammit!"
The high-ranking members of the Miao Clan all wore gloomy expressions; including Miao Hanlin, none spoke up to defend themselves.
These people who came to attend the Celebration Grand Ceremony were all from various major forces; none were fools, and by now they had long guessed the truth.
Under these circumstances, any further excuses from the Miao Clan would be useless.
"All together!"
"Kill him!"
Miao Hanlin sent a sound transmission to the other Miao Clan high-ranks.
*Shoo! Shoo!…*
All the Miao Clan high-ranks simultaneously moved, charging towards Ye Yunfei at full speed.
"Haha…"
"Looking for a group fight?!"
The Giant Arm laughed loudly and threw out a palm, forcing the few Miao Clan high-ranks at the forefront to retreat.
Ye Yunfei employed his spatial energy and vanished into space along with the Giant Arm and Xiao Fei.
"He burrowed into space again!"
"You brat! If you have any ability, come out and fight a proper battle!"
...
The Miao Clan high-ranks roared and shouted, yet they had no means to deal with this at all.
"Haha…"
"This is only just the beginning."
"Next, I'll kill your Miao Clan members one by one. Enjoy it!"
Ye Yunfei's voice transmitted out.
*Thwip!*
As his voice fell, a dark beam abruptly shot out from deep within space, piercing through the head of a Miao Clan member with Star Bridge Realm early-stage strength.
*Thwip…*
Dark Thorn continuously shifted its position, killing ten Miao Clan members in the blink of an eye.
Then it fell silent once more.
In their alarm and rage, the Miao Clan high-ranks all released their Soul Power, sensing outwards in all directions, ready to immediately surround and kill Ye Yunfei once detected.
By now, Miao Hanlin had already given orders, mobilizing all of the Miao Clan's elite forces to surround the plaza in over a dozen tight layers.
"Once that brat appears, everyone charge forward and cut him down to pieces!"
Miao Hanlin roared, his face distorted frighteningly.
The Pang Clan elder and his Pang Clan forces were also waiting, preparing to join the encirclement and kill of Ye Yunfei.
The other guests, meanwhile, had retreated to a distance, seemingly not too willing to deal with Ye Yunfei anymore.
This was because the terrifying combat prowess Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm had just displayed had made these guests somewhat wary.
Without good reason, no one wanted to provoke these two stars of calamity!
However, for nearly half an hour after that.
Ye Yunfei did not reappear.
At this moment.
Deep within space, at a certain location, the Phantom Tower hovered motionless.
Inside the Phantom Tower.
Ye Yunfei was keeping his parents and sister company.
Hu Miao also stood to the side, holding Xiao Fei's hand.
Over the past few days, Hu Miao had grown very familiar with Xiao Fei, practically becoming Xiao Fei's bosom friend to whom she could tell anything.
"Our family is finally reunited!"
Miao Ziqiong looked at her husband, son, and daughter beside her, feeling that this was the happiest moment in her entire life!
"Mother, your body is injured, your meridians are damaged, so you lost your cultivation."
"I intend to heal your injuries and restore your cultivation level."
Ye Yunfei suddenly said.
His Soul Power had long clearly perceived his mother's condition.
"Fei'er, you can heal my injuries and restore my cultivation?"
Miao Ziqiong couldn't help but be stunned.
"Auntie, don't worry!"
"Your injuries are practically child's play for my master."
Hu Miao said with a smile.
"Really?"
Miao Ziqiong was a little excited.
She naturally longed to recover her cultivation.
"Mother, don't worry."
"These injuries of yours really aren't anything for me."
"I'll definitely be able to heal you."
Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
Then, Ye Yunfei found a quiet place within the Phantom Tower and began alchemy.
Half a day later.
Ye Yunfei had refined a batch of pills.
"Mother, now I begin treating your injuries."
"Sit cross-legged and consume and refine the pills I give you."
Ye Yunfei said.
"Okay."
Miao Ziqiong sat down cross-legged.
Ye Yunfei sat down opposite her.
He would be assisting his mother throughout the entire healing process.
Ye Tianpeng, Hu Miao, and Xiao Fei walked to a distance.
"First consume this pill."
Ye Yunfei took out a red pill emitting waves of refreshing fragrance and handed it to Miao Ziqiong.
Miao Ziqiong took the pill and swallowed it directly.
Over the next few days.
Guided by Ye Yunfei, Miao Ziqiong consumed pill after pill.
As Miao Ziqiong consumed the pills, Ye Yunfei utilized his Greenwood Emperor Body, forming a protective dome of azure energy that enveloped Miao Ziqiong.
This was the quintessential energy of the Greenwood Emperor Body, ensuring Miao Ziqiong wouldn't be overwhelmed from consuming excessive pills.
In the blink of an eye, five days passed inside the Phantom Tower.
Five days later.
"Mother, your injuries have completely healed."
"Now, we begin restoring your former spiritual power cultivation level."
Ye Yunfei said.
"Right! My injuries are all healed!"
"Fei'er, where did you get these pills from? They're so effective!"
Miao Ziqiong was extremely excited.
She had no idea these pills were refined by her own son.
"Hehe, mother, you focus on recovering your cultivation first."
"I'll tell you later."
Ye Yunfei said with a laugh.
"Alright!"
Miao Ziqiong nodded.
Next, Ye Yunfei took out more pills one after another, having Miao Ziqiong consume and refine them.
Three days later.
"Fei'er, I've recovered my spiritual power cultivation level!"
Miao Ziqiong exclaimed excitedly.
Wave upon wave of energy fluctuations emanated from her body.
Mid-Stage Sea-Splitting Realm!
This was Miao Ziqiong's cultivation level before she was injured, and now she had fully recovered.
In those days, Miao Ziqiong had secretly left the Miao Capital to escape an arranged marriage.
Both the Miao Clan and the Pang Clan sent people to pursue her.
Miao Ziqiong fled all the way and had already sustained severe injuries, on the verge of death, before entering the Tianxuan Continent. Fleeing in panic without choice, she had inadvertently stumbled into the Tianxuan Continent.
Later, she encountered Ye Tianpeng.
"That's right, mother, your cultivation has been restored."
"Rest well now."
"These pills are specifically for cultivation assistance."
Ye Yunfei said, taking out five jade bottles and handing them to Miao Ziqiong.
At the same time.
Outside.
Within the plaza where the Miao Clan was hosting the Celebration Grand Ceremony.
Several hours had already passed, yet Ye Yunfei still hadn't reappeared.
"Let's go."
"This so-called Celebration Grand Ceremony isn't much of a show anymore."
Many of the guests who had come to attend the grand ceremony began to depart, some even leaving without informing the Miao Clan high-ranks.
Everyone had witnessed with their own eyes that the Miao Clan had already suffered heavy losses with numerous experts dead or injured!
At present, the Miao Clan's strength had greatly diminished, having fallen a substantial notch.
Moreover, there were those two stars of calamity hiding deep within space, ready to emerge at any time and slaughter Miao Clan members.
"Hehe, after such a disturbance, it's hard to say whether the Miao Clan can still maintain its status as a first-rate power in the Tianluo Star Sea."
Many guests whispered among themselves, carrying a tone of schadenfreude.
In everyone's minds, the Miao Clan's status had begun to quietly decline!
This world had always worshipped might makes right!
