"Have these fellows perhaps thought of some way to deal with us?"
The Giant Arm said.
"No need to rush. Let's finish destroying this Miao Capital first, then settle accounts with them slowly.
They are all gathered together now, making any move we make a bit more strenuous.
We'll act once they disperse."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and replied.
"Good."
The Giant Arm agreed.
During their previous clashes, Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm had always adopted a divide-and-conquer approach, specifically targeting isolated Miao Clan higher-ups or relatively weaker clan members. That's why they had consistently achieved instant kills.
If all those Miao Clan higher-ups swarmed them at once, Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm wouldn't have had it so easy.
Following that, Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm, along with Hu Miao, Huang Shang, Yang Xiaohu, and others, proceeded to wreak havoc all over Miao Capital, plundering treasures everywhere.
By now, half of Miao Capital had already been looted!
The haul was exceptionally rich!
The Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm had discovered several vaults of staggering wealth, leading Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm to charge in and clean them out.
Miao Capital was the Miao Clan's headquarters, the gathering place of their fortune. Having stood firm within the Tianluo Star Sea for countless ages, the wealth the Miao Clan had painstakingly accumulated over time was anything but ordinary.
In one of the vaults, Ye Yunfei found an old-looking vine. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a Heaven-Mending Vine.
The Heaven-Mending Vine was an extremely precious spiritual root that could be used to repair a martial artist's physique and enhance their cultivation aptitude!
"I've finally gathered enough heaven-and-earth treasures to rebuild father's dantian and meridians."
Ye Yunfei examined the Heaven-Mending Vine in his hand, feeling pleasantly surprised.
Meanwhile, Miao Hanlin brought the Miao Clan forces to a somewhat dilapidated palace located in the western part of Miao Capital.
This palace was ancient in appearance, its exterior long since faded and rather unremarkable.
However, the moment any Miao Clan member approached this palace, their expressions turned solemn and reverent.
Miao Hanlin led the higher-ups to the palace gates, where they all knelt down.
Then, all the Miao Clan forces behind them also knelt, prostrating themselves on the ground.
"Everyone, follow me into the Ancestral Temple!"
After three kowtows and nine prostrations, Miao Hanlin stood up and carefully led the clan's upper echelon into the palace.
Moments later.
Boom! Boom!
Two vast, mighty auras erupted from within the palace, shooting skyward and shaking the entire Miao Capital.
"What was that?"
Both Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm were startled, immediately stretching out their Soul Power to sense the disturbance.
"I didn't expect the Miao Clan to have such reserves.
Two Heavenly Thunder Realms!"
Ye Yunfei focused on the sensations, his expression turning a bit grave.
"That's right. Two old geezers. Given this arm's current power, battling them would be futile."
The Giant Arm also replied in a low voice.
"Everyone, stop."
Ye Yunfei said to Hu Miao and the others.
Hu Miao and the rest quickly gathered beside Ye Yunfei, who then teleported them all into the Phantom Tower.
"We respectfully welcome the two Patriarchs from their seclusion!"
At that moment, in front of the dilapidated palace to the west of Miao Capital, all Miao Clan forces chorused.
Two middle-aged men stepped out of the old palace, one footstep after another.
These two middle-aged men were the two patriarchs of the Miao Clan!
Miao Hanlin and the upper echelon respectfully flanked their sides.
"Let's go. We shall see."
The two patriarchs stepped upwards into the air, walking towards Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm's location.
Miao Hanlin brought the Miao Clan forces in a massive procession, following behind them.
Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm soared into the air.
Soon, the two sides faced each other from a distance, staring at one another.
"At such a young age, to already possess such power… unexpected. Our Tianluo Star Sea has actually produced such a young genius."
One of the patriarchs examined Ye Yunfei and remarked with a tone of admiration.
"However, since you have made an enemy of our Miao Clan, you cannot be allowed to stay."
This patriarch continued.
"Sir, may I ask who you are?
For a single arm to possess such power, your main body's strength must be truly astonishing.
Unfortunately, you are now reduced to just this arm. Trying to stir up trouble in our Miao Clan seems a bit insufficient."
Having spoken, the patriarch extended his hand and made a grasping motion through the air towards Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm.
Boom...
The space occupied by Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm abruptly constricted, as if an invisible divine mountain had descended from the heavens.
Immediately, this space turned unbearably heavy.
Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm simultaneously felt a sinking sensation, as if trapped in a mire.
Upon reaching the Heavenly Thunder Realm, martial artists were required to undergo heavenly thunder tribulations.
A Heavenly Thunder Realm martial artist could initially command the trends of heaven and earth, harnessing the laws of the world!
"Come here."
The middle-aged man beckoned.
A tremendous force pressed upon Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm, forcibly dragging them towards the patriarch.
"Let's go!"
Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm erupted together. The various energies within their bodies burst forth simultaneously, countering the immense force applied by the patriarch, then turned and fled.
As he turned, Ye Yunfei unleashed Spatial Blades.
Ten pitch-black Spatial Blades silently slashed towards the patriarch.
"What martial technique is this?"
The patriarch's eyes narrowed, then his figure flickered, dodging to one side.
These ten Spatial Blades gave him an intensely eerie feeling; he dared not block them head-on.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm had already fled into the distance, beyond the range this patriarch could control.
Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm both understood the power of the Heavenly Thunder Realm all too well.
"Even with two Heavenly Thunder Realm cultivators, you cannot protect your Miao Clan."
Ye Yunfei turned his head and said coldly.
Then, Ye Yunfei activated his spatial energy, taking the Giant Arm with him as he plunged into space.
"Stay!"
The two patriarchs simultaneously moved, lightning fast, crossing the distance in a single step.
Boom...
One tremendous force after another descended, attempting to suppress Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm.
However, with Ye Yunfei's current level of spatial mastery, traversing space was at his whim, immensely fast.
In an instant, Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm successfully vanished into the spatial void, disappearing without a trace.
Boom...
Both patriarchs arrived simultaneously, shaking that patch of space until it trembled.
The expressions of both patriarchs were somewhat unpleasant.
They were Heavenly Thunder Realm experts, among the pinnacle powerhouses of the Tianluo Star Sea. To think they couldn't even prevent the other party from traversing space.
"That youngster is so young, yet he possesses such a profound mastery of spatial energy!"
One patriarch shook his head and sighed.
"Two Patriarchs, that boy is extremely cunning and could reappear at any moment!"
A Miao Clan higher-up warned.
The two patriarchs immediately released their Soul Power, enveloping the entire Miao Capital within their perception.
However, even after the better part of an hour, Ye Yunfei and the Giant Arm had not reappeared.
"Hanlin, come here. Explain everything that happened from beginning to end."
One of the patriarchs said to Miao Hanlin.
"Understood."
Miao Hanlin hurriedly replied.
Thus, Miao Hanlin began to recount the course of events in detail to the two patriarchs.
Deep within the spatial void.
"Senior, the Miao Clan has two Heavenly Thunder Realm experts. We cannot deal with them for now.
We should leave first.
Once your arm fully recovers its power, we'll return to settle accounts with the Miao Clan."
Ye Yunfei said.
"That works too."
The Giant Arm agreed.
And so, Ye Yunfei teleported the Giant Arm into the Phantom Tower and quietly departed.
At the same time, the events that had occurred at the Miao Clan headquarters had long since rapidly spread throughout the Tianluo Star Sea.
This news swept through like a massive storm, causing the entire Tianluo Star Sea to erupt in uproar.
