"Third Elder, Fourth Elder, the time has come for you to make a choice. Will you continue following Lü Wutian, or will you side with me?
However, if you choose to continue following Lü Wutian, from this moment on, you will be considered traitors of the Sacred Temple."
Shangguan Han looked at the two Sacred Temple elders and asked.
"Do not listen to Shangguan Han's nonsense, Elders! There must be some misunderstanding. I will personally return to explain everything clearly to our two Ancestral Elders!"
Lü Wutian quickly interjected.
"Haha...
Lü Wutian, what kind of misunderstanding do you suppose there could be?
Do you truly believe that no one knew of your actions all those years ago?
In fact, most of the upper echelons of the Sacred Temple are fully aware of the truth!"
Shangguan Han laughed heartily.
"Lü Wutian, Palatial Master Lü is correct. This is no misunderstanding. These are orders personally handed down by our two Ancestral Elders. As elders of the Sacred Temple, we can only obey the commands of the Ancestral Elders.
Otherwise, we would be betraying the Sacred Temple.
We have never contemplated betraying the Sacred Temple."
The two Sacred Temple elders glanced at each other, and then the Third Elder spoke up.
"We pay our respects to Palatial Master Lü!"
The two elders moved simultaneously, appearing in front of Shangguan Han, and spoke in unison.
"Haha...
Good! The two of you are indeed loyal servants of our Sacred Temple!"
Shangguan Han laughed joyfully.
"Ye Yunfei is a great benefactor of our Sacred Temple. From this moment forward, the two of you are to protect Ye Yunfei."
Shangguan Han ordered.
"We obey the Palatial Master's command!"
The two elders replied together.
"You...
Very well! Third Elder! Fourth Elder! After all the kindness I've shown you over the years, you actually betray me and defect to Shangguan Han!"
Lü Wutian was both shocked and furious.
The other Dao Molding Realm experts also frowned, a sense of foreboding settling in their hearts.
Because now, Ye Yunfei's side had six Dao Molding Realm experts: Shangguan Han, the Third Elder, the Fourth Elder, the grey-robed elder, the Ice Demon, and the Blood Clan Clone.
If Ye Yunfei was counted, it would be equivalent to having seven Dao Molding Realm experts!
Although Ye Yunfei wasn't at the Dao Molding Realm himself, he possessed combat power capable of killing those who were!
Meanwhile, the side seeking to surround and kill Ye Yunfei now only had seven Dao Molding Realm experts left.
Thus, the numbers were now balanced, but in terms of combat strength, Ye Yunfei's side was undoubtedly superior.
"Damn it!"
The black-robed elder was extremely resentful.
"Haha...
Now it's truly our turn for a counterattack!
Comrades, why are we waiting? Let's attack!"
Shangguan Han laughed heartily and without restraint.
Boom!
Shangguan Han was the first to move, a battle axe materializing in his hand as he swung it towards Lü Wutian.
Due to the tense situation, Shangguan Han hadn't had the chance to retrieve his old weapons yet.
This battle axe was a gift from Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei had previously killed several Dao Molding Realm experts; this battle axe had been found in the spatial ring of one of them and was of excellent quality.
"Kill!"
The Ice Demon roared, brandishing his massive club as he pounced towards a Dao Molding Realm expert.
A single smash from his club sent that Dao Molding Realm expert stumbling backward, clearly no match for him.
The grey-robed elder, the Blood Clan Clone, the Third Elder, and the Fourth Elder also took action simultaneously.
"Let's start with you."
Ye Yunfei fixed his gaze on the Rakshasa Lord, taking a single step and rushing towards him.
"Ye Yunfei, how dare you!"
The Rakshasa Lord was startled and bellowed angrily.
The Rakshasa Lord wielded a golden halberd, slashing down towards Ye Yunfei with immense force.
Boom!
The halberd shot forth like a rainbow, descending with a river of light that made the surrounding heavens and earth tremble.
Ye Yunfei pointed a finger, and two hundred magical treasures surged out, all activated simultaneously. They rushed to intercept the golden halberd like two hundred blazing suns.
With a thunderous crash, the golden halberd was sent flying backward.
"Ye Yunfei, how can you possibly control so many magical treasures at once!"
The Rakshasa Lord couldn't believe it.
He had never witnessed such an advanced art as the Artefact Control Art. For an ordinary expert, simultaneously controlling a dozen or so magical treasures was already considered extremely impressive.
"Die!"
Ye Yunfei, now gripping the Time Blade, charged towards the Rakshasa Lord.
When Ye Yunfei wielded the Time Blade now, he could maintain its effects for the duration it takes a stick of incense to burn. He had already used it to kill six Dao Molding Realm experts in a row, and the time limit had not yet been reached.
"Ye Yunfei, just you wait! I won't let you get away with this!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei charging towards him holding the white Time Blade, the Rakshasa Lord lost his courage to fight. He turned and fled, roaring.
He had personally witnessed how terrifying that white long blade was!
Caw! Caw!
The two golden crows, trailing a sea of flames, rushed towards the Rakshasa Lord.
Swish!
The Heavenly Soul Sword also struck at this moment, attacking the Rakshasa Lord's sea of consciousness.
The Rakshasa Lord's movements faltered.
"No!
Ye Yunfei, don't kill me!"
Realizing his peril, the Rakshasa Lord panicked and couldn't help but cry out for mercy.
However, Ye Yunfei had no intention of sparing him.
Crack!
The Time Blade clove the Rakshasa Lord in two, annihilating both body and soul!
Ye Yunfei flicked his sleeve, gathering the Rakshasa Lord's corpse and tossing it to his Blood Clan Clone to drink the blood.
"Old fool, you're next!"
Ye Yunfei set his sights on the Su Clan Patriarch. Utilizing his Spatial Teleportation Art, he appeared right in front of him with a single step.
"Ye Yunfei, if you kill me, you will become an enemy of our Su Clan!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei kill the Rakshasa Lord, the Su Clan Patriarch turned deathly pale.
His strength was on par with the Rakshasa Lord's. If Ye Yunfei could kill the Rakshasa Lord, he could certainly kill him too.
Therefore, the Su Clan Patriarch did not hesitate and turned to flee.
"You cannot escape."
Ye Yunfei pursued.
"Ancestral Elders, save me!"
The Su Clan Patriarch cried out.
But at that moment, the Su Clan's two Ancestral Elders were respectively held at bay by the Ice Demon and the Sacred Temple's Third Elder. They were incapable of coming to his rescue.
Caw! Caw!
Ye Yunfei once again conjured the phenomenon of the Two Golden Crows Soaring. The two golden crows, trailing a sea of flames, chased after the Patriarch.
The Heavenly Soul Sword also shot forth to attack.
The Time Blade traced an arc as it slashed out, instantly freezing time in the surrounding space.
"Qingluo, save me!
It's all my fault! Please, for the sake of all the resources I've expended cultivating you, spare my life!"
At this moment of life and death, feeling the thick aura of death closing in, the Su Clan Patriarch suddenly thought of Su Qingluo and couldn't help but cry out.
"Qingluo, quickly save the Patriarch! Regardless of everything, the blood flowing in your veins is still that of our Su Clan!"
Su Qingluo's parents also shouted.
"Qingluo, I will no longer oppose your engagement with Ye Yunfei!"
Desperate to survive, the Su Clan Patriarch cried out once more.
At that moment, the Time Blade was already descending towards the crown of his head, on the verge of cleaving him apart.
In that instant, all members of the Su Clan looked towards Su Qingluo.
Everyone knew the Patriarch's life hung entirely on Su Qingluo's whim.
"Ye Yunfei, for my sake... spare him."
After an inner struggle, Su Qingluo ultimately couldn't bear to see the Patriarch die before her eyes. She spoke up to Ye Yunfei.
"Very well, Qingluo. For your sake, I will spare him.
However, if he dares to bother me or Qingluo again, his death will be assured."
Ye Yunfei slowly withdrew the Time Blade and said.
"Never! Ye Yunfei, our Su Clan will never trouble you or Qingluo again!"
Having narrowly escaped death, the Su Clan Patriarch cried out in wild joy.
"Two Ancestral Elders, stop fighting.
Our Su Clan will no longer interfere in the relationship between Qingluo and Ye Yunfei."
The Su Clan Patriarch looked towards his two Ancestral Elders and said.
"Very well.
We will no longer concern ourselves with this matter either. You all handle it as you see fit."
The two Su Clan Ancestral Elders exchanged a glance and finally sighed as they spoke.
Given the current situation, continuing the fight would only be seeking death!
"Oh?
Does your Su Clan no longer intend to vie for the Canghuang Origin?"
Ye Yunfei sneered.
"Ahem...
Ye Yunfei, we have now come to realize that, given the strength of our Su Clan, obtaining the Canghuang Origin is impossible. Even if we were fortunate enough to seize it, it would bring disaster and destruction to our clan."
One of the Ancestral Elders said with embarrassment.
Following this, the two Su Clan Ancestral Elders turned and left, disappearing deep into the Su Clan headquarters in moments.
"Hmph, let's go!"
The black-robed elder from The Other Realm gave Ye Yunfei a deep look before uttering a cold snort. He turned and departed.
The other elder from his realm immediately followed.
Now, The Other Realm side only had two Dao Molding Realm experts left!
Soon, the forces from The Other Realm also withdrew like a receding tide, swiftly moving away into the distance.
"Shangguan Han! Ye Yunfei! Just you wait!"
At this point, Lü Wutian knew the tide had turned. Staying any longer would mean waiting for death. With a cold snort, he turned and fled.
"Lü Wutian, others may leave, but you cannot!"
Ye Yunfei was prepared. Activating his Spatial Teleportation Art, he instantly blocked Lü Wutian's path.
Ye Yunfei knew Shangguan Han would never rest until Lü Wutian was killed; there was no way he would let him escape.
Swish, swish...
The Blood Clan Clone, the Ice Demon, the grey-robed elder, the Third Elder, and the Fourth Elder all closed in.
Added with Ye Yunfei and Shangguan Han, a total of seven individuals surrounded Lü Wutian in the center.
"Lü Wutian, did you ever imagine you would face a day like this?"
Shangguan Han stared at Lü Wutian and said, word by deliberate word.
