“We retreat too!”
When the Domain Realm experts saw the Heavenly Thunder Realm experts pulling back, how could they dare to stay? They turned and fled one after another.
There had originally been over seventy Domain Realm experts; now only about fifty remained!
*Whoosh whoosh…*
Ye Yunfei waved his hand, unleashing dozens of Spatial Blades that chased after the fleeing Domain Realm experts.
*Ah! Ah…!*
Several more Domain Realm experts were struck by the Spatial Blades and died miserable deaths on the spot.
It could be said that the Spatial Blade was currently one of Ye Yunfei's most formidable secret arts.
It was precisely because of Spatial Blade and Spatial Teleportation Art that Ye Yunfei could easily battle these dozens of Domain Realm experts.
Otherwise, if they fought head-on, Ye Yunfei might not necessarily be a match!
In the blink of an eye, the seven Heavenly Thunder Realm experts and over fifty Domain Realm experts had fled into the distance.
“Well? Do we give chase?”
The Giant Arm arrived beside Ye Yunfei and asked.
“Leave them for now.
You can run, but you can't hide.
The Pang Clan, the Miao Clan, and the Star Nation—I have remembered these three factions.”
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment before speaking.
“Good. We'll find a time later and take the fight directly to their doorstep!”
said the Giant Arm.
“Senior Chu Ji, for now, let the foundation ceremony continue.”
Ye Yunfei said to Chu Ji.
Earlier, the foundation ceremony had only just begun when the forces of the three factions arrived to attack Qingyun Palace headquarters, so Ye Yunfei had led his people out to meet the enemy.
“Qingyun Palace has won!
Even the combined forces of the Pang Clan, the Miao Clan, and the Star Nation couldn’t match Qingyun Palace!”
“The battle just now signifies Qingyun Palace is poised to rise!
Although they’ve only just been established, in the entire Tianluo Star Sea, I’m afraid only those few super factions could possibly contend with them!”
…
Those who had been watching from afar were all thoroughly shocked by the outcome of this great battle.
“Starting now, we absolutely must not provoke Qingyun Palace!”
“Indeed! Even Heavenly Thunder Realm experts fall before Qingyun Palace. How could we dare to provoke such a faction?”
…
Many martial artists quietly warned each other.
“Today is Qingyun Palace's foundation ceremony. Shouldn’t we go in to offer congratulations and send a gift? If we seize this opportunity to properly curry favor with Qingyun Palace…”
Suddenly, someone spoke up.
That's right!
The people around perked up upon hearing this.
Today was Qingyun Palace's founding day, and until now, not a single faction or expert had come to offer congratulations.
Under such circumstances, taking the initiative to go in and offer congratulations would definitely earn them a place in Qingyun Palace's memory. Perhaps in the future, they could even latch onto this great tree.
Thus, many people began to feel tempted.
Some even started taking stock of their belongings, seeing what treasures they could take out as congratulatory gifts.
“Go into Qingyun Palace to offer congratulations? And give gifts?
Are you looking for trouble?
Even though the Pang Clan and the Miao Clan have been repelled this time, these two factions have ancient lineages and deep reserves within the Tianluo Star Sea. Especially the Pang Clan—it's one of those few super factions!
Just you wait and see: the Pang Clan and Miao Clan will definitely not let this rest!
At a time like this, whoever dares to get close to Qingyun Palace will be viewed as an enemy by the Pang Clan and the Miao Clan!”
Suddenly, an elderly man spoke.
Everyone’s hearts clenched upon hearing the old man’s words.
Those who had been planning to enter Qingyun Palace to offer congratulations were particularly alarmed.
Within the Tianluo Star Sea, there was absolutely no one who wanted to become an enemy of the Pang Clan and the Miao Clan!
“Moreover, there’s another piece of news you all might not have heard.
Not long ago, Ye Yunfei killed two people from Jietian Sect and a large contingent from Yin Corpse Valley.
Jietian Sect and Yin Corpse Valley are among the top-ten powerful factions in the cosmos!
Offending the Pang Clan and the Miao Clan might not necessarily kill Ye Yunfei.
But by offending Jietian Sect and Yin Corpse Valley, can he still have any hope of survival?”
This elderly man then dropped another bombshell.
*Hisss!*
Ye Yunfei killed people from Jietian Sect and Yin Corpse Valley?
Upon hearing this news, everyone gasped, a chill running down their spines.
“If so, then Ye Yunfei is doomed for sure!
No matter how strong Qingyun Palace is, it will definitely be annihilated!
This is beyond any doubt!”
Someone couldn't help but exclaim.
All those who had planned to enter Qingyun Palace to offer gifts and congratulations completely extinguished their intentions.
However, right at this moment.
“The Seven Chivalrous Bandits of the Tianluo Star Sea present generous gifts to congratulate Qingyun Palace on its foundation ceremony!”
A great roar traveled from afar, shaking the skies.
Then, everyone saw a massive airship hurtling through the air.
A large banner was planted upon the ship, depicting a sinister black human skull—a veritable embodiment of murderous aura.
In the blink of an eye, the ship arrived before Qingyun Palace headquarters. Seven old men with powerful, imposing builds led the way out of the airship, followed by a group of ferocious-looking, savage-faced underlings.
The seven old men in the lead each exuded a fierce aura, their gazes piercing.
One of them was blind in one eye, wearing a black eyepatch; another had a shocking scar running diagonally from his left forehead down to the right corner of his mouth.
“It’s truly the Seven Great Bandits!
These seven brigands actually came to congratulate Qingyun Palace!”
Someone immediately cried out in surprise.
“Are you trying to get yourself killed?
Those seven like others to address them as ‘Chivalrous Bandits.’ If you call them ‘Great Bandits’ to their faces and they happen to hear you, do you know how serious the consequences would be?”
A person next to him immediately grabbed the one who cried out, cautioning him in a low voice.
“Oh no!”
The man who couldn’t resist crying out was so frightened, it was as if he had been plunged into an ice cave. He shivered from head to toe, his face deathly pale, nearly fainting on the spot.
Within the Tianluo Star Sea, who didn’t know of the notorious reputation of the Seven Great Bandits—robbing others' homes, plundering everything down to the last coin like locusts ravaging the land?
More importantly, the Seven Great Bandits were all Heavenly Thunder Realm experts!
Apart from a few super factions, no one within the Tianluo Star Sea dared provoke them!
“Actually, I’d long suspected that Ye Yunfei had some relationship with the Seven Great Bandits.
Previously, Ye Yunfei looted dozens of branch outposts of the Pang and Miao Clans; his methods were quite similar to the Seven Great Bandits!”
“Could it be… Ye Yunfei has known the Seven Great Bandits for a while now?”
Quite a few people began exchanging messages through secret transmission, discussing amongst themselves.
“Grandfather!”
A burly young man with slightly dark skin rushed out from within Qingyun Palace, arriving before one of the elders.
“Well done, Little Hu!
“You’ve got real prospects!”
…
The seven elders all praised him one after another.
“The Seven Great Bandits and Ye Yunfei are truly in cahoots!
No wonder they’ve come to offer congratulations!”
Seeing this scene, everyone harbored no more doubts.
Suddenly.
“Xiantian Abbey offers generous gifts to congratulate Qingyun Palace on its foundation ceremony!”
A voice rang out from the distant horizon.
Then, an airship came soaring through the air.
*Hisss!*
People from Xiantian Abbey have come!
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped again, a chill running down their spines.
Xiantian Abbey was one of the super factions of the Tianluo Star Sea. It was said its strength was no weaker, or perhaps even stronger, than the Pang Clan’s!
Compared to the Pang Clan, the members of Xiantian Abbey were a bit more low-key, not fond of bragging everywhere.
However, within the Tianluo Star Sea, no one dared doubt Xiantian Abbey's strength!
“What’s going on here?
Xiantian Abbey is actually here to congratulate Qingyun Palace?”
All the onlookers were a bit dazed.
“Yihua Palace offers generous gifts to congratulate Qingyun Palace on its foundation ceremony!”
“The Jiang Clan offers generous gifts to congratulate Qingyun Palace on its foundation ceremony!”
“Dudao Sect offers generous gifts to congratulate Qingyun Palace on its foundation ceremony!”
…
Over a dozen voices sounded one after another.
Then everyone saw over a dozen airships arriving from afar, stopping before Qingyun Palace headquarters.
And that wasn’t all.
“Guyao Tribe offers generous gifts to congratulate Qingyun Palace on its foundation ceremony. We congratulate Palace Master Ye on his might shaking the starry heavens and his boundless longevity!”
From the distance, dozens of airships brimming with demonic aura approached in a grand procession.
*How could there be so many factions coming to congratulate Qingyun Palace?
Aren’t they afraid of offending the Pang Clan and the Miao Clan?*
Those who had been watching were utterly dumbfounded.
The Guyao Tribe was just a second-rate faction within the Xuanhuang Star Territory, not worth mentioning.
But Xiantian Abbey was a super faction of the Tianluo Star Sea. Yihua Palace and the Jiang Clan were both first-rate factions within the Tianluo Star Sea, with strength comparable to the Miao Clan!
The other factions who came were also mostly second-rate factions within the Tianluo Star Sea!
With so many factions arriving together, the scene was extremely grand!
At this moment, the area before Qingyun Palace headquarters was lined with congratulatory airships—so many they seemed a dense, tangled mass at a glance.
“Father, let’s hurry inside!”
At that moment, a group of people walked out from the Xiantian Abbey airship. A beautiful woman wearing five-colored garments looked towards the interior of Qingyun Palace headquarters and spoke.
Beside this beautiful woman followed a middle-aged man whose bearing was as imposing as a dragon's and as vigorous as a tiger's, a white-clad sword-carrying maidservant, and a gray-robed elder.
“Fine, let's go in.”
nodded the middle-aged man.
