As they watched the guests depart one after another, the faces of the high-ranking members of the Miao Clan grew extremely dark.
But there was nothing they could do!
Today was supposed to be a day for the Miao Clan to shine and bask in glory. Never did they imagine it would end like this!
"All of this is because of Miao Ziqiong! She dallied with a scoundrel outside and gave birth to that little bastard, bringing such calamity upon our Miao Clan!"
A Miao Clan Elder roared in a low voice.
"Indeed! It’s all because of Miao Ziqiong!"
The other Miao Clan Elders also gnashed their teeth.
"Patriarch, what should we do now?"
One of them looked at Miao Hanlin.
The other Elders also turned their gazes toward Miao Hanlin.
"That boy and that arm are still lurking within the Miao Capital, and they can strike at any time. For us right now, the most pressing matter is how to eliminate them."
Miao Hanlin thought for a moment before speaking in a grave voice.
"That brat can traverse space. They are hiding within it the entire time. Dealing with them will be very difficult."
One of the Miao Elders said.
For a time, the Miao Clan Elders fell silent.
It was well known that martial artists proficient in spatial energy were extremely rare in the world, and each was an incredibly difficult opponent.
"Elder Pang…"
Miao Hanlin's gaze suddenly shifted to the Pang Clan Elder in the distance.
"Hmph! This is a mess your Miao Clan stirred up; don’t ask me! Come to think of it, that boy is the son of Miao Ziqiong, your Miao Clan’s grandson by marriage! That brat destroyed many of our Pang Clan’s Branch Strongholds. That debt must be placed on your Miao Clan’s head! Your Miao Clan had better give our Pang Clan a satisfactory explanation! Let’s go!"
That Pang Clan Elder coldly stated. He flicked his sleeve, turned, and walked away.
The other Pang Clan members promptly followed.
This Pang Clan Elder was at the late-stage Domain Realm. He knew he was not necessarily a match for that giant arm and that it was better to leave sooner rather than later.
Watching the Pang Clan Elder lead his forces away, Miao Hanlin’s expression was extremely grim. He had originally thought that on this occasion, they could reconcile with the Pang Clan, but it now seemed their relations might become even worse.
"Everyone, it’s true that our Miao Clan has now entered one of its most difficult periods. However, our Miao Clan has stood firm for long eras in the Tianluo Star Sea. We have weathered countless storms and upheavals. I believe this time, our Miao Clan will also overcome this crisis safely! There is no need for panic! I refuse to believe a junior like him can exterminate our Miao Clan!"
Miao Hanlin drew a deep breath and declared loudly.
"The Patriarch is right! We have nothing to fear!"
One Miao Elder shouted back fiercely.
"Nothing to fear!"
All Miao Clan members roared in unison.
Right at that moment...
Boom...
Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm suddenly appeared behind a Miao Clan Elder, simultaneously throwing punches at him.
This Elder was only at the early-stage Domain Realm. How could he withstand the combined attack of the Giant Arm and Ye Yunfei?
Aaaaah...!
The Elder screamed as his body exploded on the spot.
"Kill!"
Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm charged towards the nearby Miao Clan forces, striking without the slightest mercy.
Those Miao Clan forces were no match for the combined assault of Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm. Wherever they went, Miao Clan members were instantly killed, and the air was filled with endless screams of agony.
Especially the Giant Arm; a single sweeping palm strike could blast dozens of Miao Clan members to pieces!
Whether they were at the Lightning Tribulation Realm, Sea-Splitting Realm, Star Bridge Realm, or Heavenly Emperor Realm, in front of the Giant Arm, they were all only worthy of being instantly slaughtered!
As for Ye Yunfei, he wielded his fists, unleashing the True Demon Kill-God Fist, punching out one after another, smashing Miao Clan members into clouds of bloody mist as easily as crushing watermelons.
At the same time, Ye Yunfei also employed the Five Elements Slaughtering Immortals Sword Array and Mysterious Fire Art, unleashing large-scale slaughter upon the Miao Clan forces.
In the mere span of a few breaths, several hundred Miao Clan members were slain by Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm.
"All of you, attack! Kill them!"
Miao Hanlin bellowed, pushing his movement technique to its utmost limit, charging madly toward the Giant Arm and Ye Yunfei like a lunatic.
"Kill!"
The other Miao Clan forces, regardless of strength, also went mad, charging in from all directions.
"Come on, then! Come to your deaths! Haha… This slaughter is truly exhilarating!"
The Giant Arm released rolling waves of energy pressure. Every punch and every palm strike shook the heavens and earth, causing space itself to rumble.
Any Miao Clan force that was even slightly grazed by the Giant Arm had their bodies instantly shattered.
Just as Miao Hanlin and the Miao Elders were about to close in, Ye Yunfei led the Giant Arm as they abruptly plunged into space, vanishing once again.
They left behind a ground littered with severed limbs and shattered flesh, rivers of blood flowing across it!
"Damn it! He hid inside space again!"
"You brat! If you have guts, come out and fight properly!"
"Come out!"
...
One elder after another were completely enraged, roaring furiously.
"As you wish."
A calm voice rang out. Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm appeared simultaneously at another location, right behind a group of Miao Clan forces.
Kill!
Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm attacked together, slaughtering forward.
Aaaaah! Aaah…!
One Miao Clan member after another died miserable deaths.
"Stop!"
Miao Hanlin’s eyes nearly burst from their sockets. He turned and charged over.
The other Miao Clan forces also followed, charging forward.
But Ye Yunfei, taking the Giant Arm with him, plunged into space again.
Huff… Huff…
Miao Hanlin stared at the ground covered with corpses. His breathing was like a bellows, as if he was desperately suppressing the boundless rage within his heart. His body trembled slightly.
Amidst his fury, he couldn’t help but feel a sliver of fear rising in his heart!
Today, far too many Miao Clan members had died!
"How could it come to this… Is our Miao Clan truly going to perish…?"
The other Miao Clan members also trembled all over, a feeling of sorrow rising in their hearts.
"You seem quite angry."
Right then, a voice sounded from the distance. Ye Yunfei appeared in the high sky afar, his hands clasped behind his back, staring coldly at Miao Hanlin.
"You brat, you certainly have nerve! You've killed so many of my Miao Clan people!"
Miao Hanlin slowly raised his head, staring at Ye Yunfei as he spoke word by word.
"My goal is to exterminate every last member of your Miao Clan.
For the past ten years, your Miao Clan caused my family to be displaced, separated across two lands. You imprisoned my mother and sister in a dungeon, subjecting them to every humiliation, and even sought to steal my sister's Vermilion Bird Divine Meridian.
Now, it’s time for your Miao Clan to repay this debt."
Ye Yunfei said coldly.
"You brat! Your mother is also a member of our Miao Clan! How can you be so heartless, so unmindful of familial ties, and slaughter our Miao Clan's people like this?!"
An Elder roared at Ye Yunfei.
"Oh? Now you finally remember that my mother is also from your Miao Clan?
Over all these years, with the way your Miao Clan treated my mother and sister, did you ever show the slightest consideration for familial ties?
There’s no point in talking about this now.
Your Miao Clan awaits extermination."
Ye Yunfei sneered.
As his voice fell...
Swoosh!
Dark Thorn vanished into space. In the next instant, it abruptly appeared behind the head of a Miao Clan member, piercing straight through it.
Thump! Thump…
Dark Thorn continuously traversed space, appearing and disappearing mysteriously, slaughtering one Miao Clan member after another.
"All of you, gather together! Face the enemy collectively!"
Miao Hanlin let out a great roar.
"Right! All members, concentrate together! Back-to-back, face the enemy together!"
The Miao Elders also shouted loudly.
Soon, all Miao Clan forces were gathered in the central plaza, densely packed and standing closely together.
Miao Hanlin and the Miao Elders hovered in the air above the heads of the Miao Clan forces, all of them looking as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Starting now, no one is to disperse again! Once the enemy attacks, everyone will strike together!"
Miao Hanlin shouted loudly.
"Yes!"
The Miao Clan forces answered in unison.
"Haha… That’s a wonderful idea."
Ye Yunfei, standing in the high sky afar, let out a hearty laugh.
"Senior, this is the Miao Capital, the Miao Clan's headquarters. Let’s take a stroll around and see if there are any valuable items we can just take."
Ye Yunfei said to the Giant Arm.
"Good!"
The Giant Arm replied.
Rumble…
Ye Yunfei unleashed a body-enlarging divine ability. His body constantly grew taller, transforming into a giant over seventy zhang tall. Together with the Giant Arm, they began walking around the Miao Capital, plundering street by street, palace by palace.
Ye Yunfei summoned Hu Miao, Huang Shang, Yang Xiaohu, Hong Bai, Wu Hua, and others out from the Phantom Tower, having them all help loot valuables.
With a *whoosh*, the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm also appeared. Continuously traversing space, relying on its acute senses, it located one treasure vault after another.
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm fed on all kinds of precious treasures in the world; it was naturally extremely sensitive to various kinds of valuables.
When it came to looting valuables, these individuals were already extremely proficient, with practiced techniques—after all, Ye Yunfei had led them to plunder numerous Miao Clan and Pang Clan Branch Strongholds a while ago.
With Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm leading the way, wherever they went, members of the Miao Clan, regardless of age or stature, all desperately fled. Who dared to stand in their way?
Ye Yunfei, towering at seventy zhang, seemed like a Titan descending upon the mortal world as he easily trampled building after building into rubble. The Miao Clan members were scared out of their wits, with no will to resist.
"Haha… I truly never imagined that one day, I would be able to plunder the Miao Clan headquarters! It seems impossible to not become famous after this! Grandpa, do you see this?! It’s me, Xiaohu! I’m looting the Miao Clan headquarters! See clearly, this really is the Miao Clan headquarters. I’m not lying!"
Yang Xiaohu looted valuables from all around while holding a recording jade slip, continuously recording his heroic figure, intending to brag to his grandfather when he returned.
"Patriarch, they are destroying the Miao Capital, robbing the wealth of our Miao Clan!"
A Miao Elder reported to Miao Hanlin, both angry and flustered.
"That brat’s greatest reliance is his proficiency in spatial energy and his ability to traverse space. To deal with him, we must first seal off space, preventing him from traversing.
Given our current strength, we cannot accomplish this. Moreover, it’s too late to set up any spatial restriction formations now.
Currently, perhaps there is only one method that can deal with this boy."
At this moment, Miao Hanlin had instead completely calmed down.
"What method?"
Hearing this, the other Miao Elders immediately looked at Miao Hanlin with questioning gazes.
"Summon the Ancestors."
Miao Hanlin slowly said.
"Patriarch, you mean… awaken the two Ancestors and have them deal with that boy and that arm?"
A certain Elder was somewhat astonished.
"Yes.
With our strength, we cannot prevent that boy from traversing space. But I believe the two Ancestors will certainly be able to do it!
As long as the two Ancestors make a move and seal off the space, making it impossible for that boy to traverse it, dealing with them won’t be difficult.
When the two Ancestors entered seclusion in the past, they gave the order that if our Miao Clan ever reached a life-or-death juncture, we could awaken them.
Now, it is time to awaken them."
Miao Hanlin said.
After hearing Miao Hanlin’s words, the surrounding Miao Elders fell silent for a moment.
"Patriarch, I agree!"
"Right! Given our current predicament, only by awakening the two Ancestors can our Miao Clan escape from this plight!"
The other Miao Elders nodded one after another.
"Let's go. We head to the Ancestral Temple! Everyone, follow along together!"
Miao Hanlin waved his hand, leading the vast Miao Clan forces as they marched towards the western part of the Miao Capital.
"Oh? What are they planning to do?"
At this moment, Ye Yunfei noticed the movement of the Miao Clan forces and was somewhat puzzled.
