In the blink of an eye, half a day passed.
"Xiao Fei, come, let's go attend the founding ceremony."
Ye Yunfei brought Xiao Fei with him and arrived at a vast plaza in moments.
At this moment, everyone from Qingyun Palace had gathered in the plaza, packed densely together.
To the east of the plaza, a high platform had been erected.
Chu Ji and the other high-level members of Qingyun Palace had long since arrived and were standing atop the platform.
The Giant Arm and Hun Lao were being flanked in the center.
Furthermore, Ye Tianpeng and Miao Ziqiong had already been invited and were seated on the high platform.
There was also an Altar on the platform.
This Altar was for ritual offerings to the heavens!
Ye Yunfei descended onto the high platform with Xiao Fei.
"The Palace Lord is here."
Chu Ji and the other leaders perked up.
"Father! Mother!"
Upon seeing her parents, Xiao Fei immediately rushed over and threw herself into Miao Ziqiong's embrace.
Ye Yunfei's gaze swept across the plaza.
The people gathered in this plaza constituted the main forces of Qingyun Palace at present.
All members of the Tang Clan, the Heavenly Dao Academy, and also the Houtu Sect.
The more than a thousand Heavenly Emperor Realm slaves under Ye Yunfei's command.
And also the more than two hundred people Ye Yunfei had rescued from the underground prison at the Miao Clan branch stronghold in Yinsha Star!
"Palace Lord, the auspicious time is almost upon us," Chu Ji said to Ye Yunfei.
"Very well.
Once the moment arrives, we shall perform the ritual to honor Heaven and Earth."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
When establishing a sect, it was customary to perform rites honoring Heaven and Earth.
"Palace Lord, there are many people outside our headquarters, though most are just spectators gathering to watch the commotion," a steward reported to Ye Yunfei at that moment.
"Let them be," Ye Yunfei replied with a faint nod.
At the same time.
Around Qingyun Palace's headquarters.
Whether in the sky or on the ground, people were crowded in a dense throng.
The majority had come just to watch the spectacle!
"This Ye Yunfei is no ordinary fellow. It's said he hails from the Tianxuan Continent.
A kid who emerged from a Small World, yet he's made such a name for himself in such a short time, and now he's even establishing a new faction!"
"Truly remarkable. A junior like him dares to challenge the Miao Clan and the Pang Clan, and he's still alive and kicking even now. There isn't a single young person in our Tianluo Star Sea who can compare!"
"Heh...
On the contrary, I heard the Miao and Pang Clans have long made preparations to publicly destroy Qingyun Palace during today's founding ceremony.
Once you've provoked the Miao and Pang Clans, expecting a peaceful resolution is simply impossible!"
"I've heard the same.
That's precisely why, after getting wind of this news, I made a special trip here to watch the show!
Let's just wait for the drama to unfold!"
...
The crowd buzzed with discussion.
"It seems not a single person or faction has come to offer congratulations for Qingyun Palace's founding," someone suddenly remarked.
"Who would dare to come offer congratulations?
The Miao Clan has long made it known: any individuals or factions who dare to congratulate Qingyun Palace will henceforth be considered enemies of the Miao Clan!
I ask you, within the Tianluo Star Sea, how many people and factions actually wish to become enemies of the Miao Clan?"
Someone immediately answered next to him.
"So that's how it is," the surrounding people exclaimed in sudden understanding.
Right at that moment.
Rumble...
A military force approached menacingly from the distance.
Within this force, a large banner was hoisted, fluttering violently in the wind.
The words 'Star Nation' were engraved on that banner.
"The army of Star Nation has arrived!" someone cried out softly.
Soon, the Star Nation army arrived before the headquarters of Qingyun Palace.
"Ye Yunfei! Roll out here and accept your death!"
A general stepped forward from the ranks, shouting harshly.
Rolling waves of sound propagated inward toward Qingyun Palace's headquarters.
Boom...
At that very moment, amidst the starry space in the distance, a fleet of flying ships traversed the sky, their momentum aggressive.
In the blink of an eye, this fleet reached the front of Qingyun Palace's headquarters. Teams of people streamed out from the ships in a steady flow.
"The Miao Clan forces are here!" someone gasped in a low voice.
"Miao traitor Miao Ziqiong and your family, roll out here and accept your death!
All members of Qingyun Palace, also roll out here and accept your death!"
A Miao Clan Elder took a step forward, summoning his voice and shouting clearly.
Bolstered by spiritual energy, rolling waves of sound spread out for over a hundred miles!
Boom...
Suddenly, across the distant horizon, numerous dense clusters of flying ships came rolling forward.
"It's the Pang Clan forces!"
Someone recognized them immediately.
Soon, these Pang Clan flying ships also arrived before Qingyun Palace's headquarters. Teams of people, their auras formidable, stepped out from these ships.
The Pang Clan was one of the most powerful forces within the Tianluo Star Sea; their presence was indeed imposing.
Especially since, in order to deal with Ye Yunfei this time, the Pang Clan had dispatched a large batch of Domain Realm experts. Each one released their aura, their surging spiritual energy shaking the sky.
"Ye Yunfei is cruel, unrighteous, and a prolific killer. He is a scourge of our Tianluo Star Sea, and all under Heaven should join to slay him!
Today, our Pang Clan will eliminate this vile creature on behalf of the Tianluo Star Sea!
As for the so-called Qingyun Palace, it is a criminal organization headed by Ye Yunfei and has no right to exist."
Among the Pang Clan forces, a plainly-featured old man spoke up.
He didn't appear to muster his energy in any special way, yet his voice was like rumbling thunder, shaking this stretch of Heaven and Earth with a booming clamor.
"That's Elder Pang Zhong!
A Heavenly Thunder Realm expert of the Pang Clan!"
Immediately, someone recognized the old man and exclaimed in shock.
Bear in mind, within the Tianluo Star Sea, Heavenly Thunder Realm experts belonged to the topmost echelon of power, standing at the pyramid's peak. For ordinary martial artists, getting the chance to even lay eyes on these Heavenly Thunder Realm experts was exceedingly difficult!
"The forces of the Pang Clan, the Miao Clan, and Star Nation are all here. Qingyun Palace is in deep trouble!"
"It's said all three of these forces have declared they will definitely destroy Qingyun Palace today.
Today is Qingyun Palace's founding ceremony, but whether they can even survive today remains highly questionable."
"What do you mean 'highly questionable'? It's not questionable at all. Just watch—Qingyun Palace definitely won't survive today!"
Watching the murderous momentum of the three factions' forces, all the spectators in the distance were buzzing with speculation.
However, at this moment, no movement whatsoever could be heard coming from within Qingyun Palace's headquarters!
Not even a single person came out to take a look!
"It seems the people of Qingyun Palace are scared, hiding inside and not daring to come out," many people surmised.
"Hmph! Thinking that by not coming out they can escape? Absurd!
Kill your way inside!"
Pang Zhong waved his hand and coldly commanded.
Immediately, the Pang Clan members all drew their weapons or summoned their magic treasures, releasing torrents of energy as they charged forward to kill their way into Qingyun Palace's headquarters.
"Kill!"
A Miao Clan Elder waved his hand and roared.
Immediately, the Miao Clan forces burst forth and charged forward to attack.
"Prepare to kill your way inside!"
The general at the forefront of the Star Nation army also shouted harshly.
Clang! Clang...
The Star Nation soldiers all brandished their weapons, murderous intent thick in the air, as they charged toward Qingyun Palace's headquarters.
The personnel from the three factions were all like wolves and tigers, their momentum terrifying to behold.
Just as these three factions' forces were about to charge into Qingyun Palace's headquarters.
Right at that instant.
Boom! Boom...
Within Qingyun Palace, one Formations after another continuously manifested, like lotuses blooming one after another, their surging formation energy shaking Heaven and Earth.
