‘This is satisfying! Incredibly satisfying!’
The other senior members of the Ziwei Sect roared with laughter as well.
Xiao Tianjie had arrived with imposing momentum, ordering that old eunuch to read the imperial decree publicly, looking down on everyone from the Ziwei Sect from start to finish. Being smacked to death directly by Ye Yunfei had left these high-level Ziwei Sect members cheering with great delight.
‘All Hail the Master Disciple! What damn Yan Country Royal Family? Anyone who dares provoke our Ziwei Sect must die!’
‘The Master Disciple is right. In ancient times, the Yan Country Royal Family was nothing but one of our Ziwei Sect’s dogs!’
…
Seeing their leaders’ attitudes, the disciples of the Ziwei Sect also started shouting out loud.
‘Treason! This is outright treason! Guards, seize this brat!’
Xiao Tianjie, enraged to the extreme, roared.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A Destiny Realm expert from behind Xiao Tianjie stepped forward, displaying movement techniques as he shot toward Ye Yunfei like lightning.
‘Daring to bully the young with your age?!’
Seeing this, Sect Leader Liu and the Six Great Elders simultaneously charged forward, rushing toward Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei was the hope for the Ziwei Sect’s revival in Sect Leader Liu and the Six Great Elders’ eyes, too important to the sect for them to allow him to be harmed in the slightest.
Boom!
The Great Elder directly made his move, slapping out a palm. A gigantic palm print materialized, carrying a terrifying pressure of energy as it rumbled toward that Destiny Realm expert.
Heavenly Gang Thirteen Palms!
Last time, the Great Elder had personally watched Ye Yunfei instruct Meng Chao in cultivating the seventh palm of this technique. Later, during Ye Yunfei’s lecture, he had given an extremely detailed explanation of the art from the first palm all the way to the thirteenth.
Now that the Great Elder executed this palm technique again, its power had drastically increased!
Thud!
The Destiny Realm expert charging toward Ye Yunfei didn’t even have time to dodge before being sent flying by a single palm strike. He crashed onto the ground in the distance, vomiting blood repeatedly and unable to get up for a long time.
This strong?
The Great Elder was momentarily stunned.
Although the man he sent flying was only an early Destiny Realm expert and he himself was now at the Mid Stage Destiny Realm, defeating an enemy with one palm filled him with pleasant surprise at such combat power.
‘Su Fei! I cultivated the Heavenly Gang Thirteen Palms according to your methods, and the power truly is formidable!’
In his delight, the Great Elder couldn’t help but speak to Ye Yunfei.
‘The Great Elder still hasn’t fully comprehended the true meaning of this palm technique. Otherwise, you could unleash even greater power.’
Ye Yunfei shook his head.
‘Really? Then I must spend more time meditating on the true meaning of this palm technique later!’
The Great Elder said excitedly.
‘Xiao Tianjie! If you want to fight, then bring it on! Our Ziwei Sect will meet you!’
By now, Sect Leader Liu and the Six Elders had already surrounded Ye Yunfei, protecting him securely in their center. Sect Leader Liu shouted coldly.
Sect Leader Liu had just broken through to the Late Stage Destiny Realm. Filled with confidence, he was eager to find a good fight to test his current combat prowess.
The Six Elders had also just broken through to the Mid Stage Destiny Realm, every one of them brimming with battle intent.
Whoosh, whoosh…
Five ordinary elders of the Ziwei Sect also rushed up, taking positions around Ye Yunfei.
These five ordinary elders had all broken through to the early Destiny Realm after listening to Ye Yunfei’s lecture.
Thus, a total of twelve Destiny Realm experts stood gathered around Ye Yunfei.
BOOM! BOOM…
Sect Leader Liu and all the high-level members released their own spiritual pressure. It was as if twelve volcanoes had erupted simultaneously; torrential energy soared skyward, shaking the heavens and earth.
‘What?! Didn’t they say the Ziwei Sect only had seven Destiny Realm experts? Now they have twelve?!’
‘Am I seeing this right?! The Ziwei Sect’s Sect Leader is at the Late Stage Destiny Realm!’
‘Those Six Great Elders were at the early Destiny Realm before, but now they’re all at the Mid Stage Destiny Realm!’
‘Looking at it this way, the Ziwei Sect’s strength is somewhat terrifying!’
…
Sensing the energy pressure released by Sect Leader Liu and the Six Great Elders, many in the crowd cried out in astonishment.
‘Liu Qiming! To think you have already broken through to the Late Stage Destiny Realm. No wonder you dare oppose our Royal Family. However, even if you have broken through to the Late Stage Destiny Realm, you still cannot save the Ziwei Sect!’
Xiao Tianjie stared at Sect Leader Liu, his face gloomy and his voice icy.
Sect Leader Liu had previously been a rival of the same cultivation level as him. Now that Liu had broken through to the Late Stage Destiny Realm, he was naturally displeased.
‘Elder Luo, Elder Ge, let’s attack together. There’s no need to waste any more time. Have our three factions move together and raze the Ziwei Sect.’
Xiao Tianjie turned his head and spoke to the Great Elders of the Sheng Yuan Sect and the Qianyang Sect.
The Great Elder of the Sheng Yuan Sect was surnamed Luo and was addressed as Elder Luo. The Great Elder of the Qianyang Sect was surnamed Ge and was addressed as Elder Ge.
‘Fine. Let’s attack together.’
Elder Luo nodded. He then walked forward, bringing the five Destiny Realm experts of the Sheng Yuan Sect with him.
Elder Ge also led the five Destiny Realm experts of the Qianyang Sect forward.
Combined, the Yan Country Royal Family, the Sheng Yuan Sect, and the Qianyang Sect had a total of nineteen Destiny Realm experts!
The three major factions originally had twenty Destiny Realm experts, but one had just been injured by the Ziwei Sect’s Great Elder with a single palm and could no longer fight.
RUMBLE…
The nineteen Destiny Realm experts from the three factions simultaneously released their energy pressure, opposing and matching that of the Ziwei Sect’s twelve Destiny Realm experts.
This many Destiny Realm experts releasing their pressure at once was an awe-inspiring scene. Although only a few dozen people were involved, the momentum they created was mightier than that of a thousand soldiers and ten thousand horses.
‘So the Ziwei Sect is this powerful! Resisting three major factions single-handedly and not falling behind!’
‘I had thought the Ziwei Sect would certainly be wiped out today. It seems that might not be the case!’
Many of the spectators couldn’t help but whisper among themselves.
‘Haha… Liu Qiming! Did you really think we came here unprepared?!’
Xiao Tianjie suddenly laughed loudly and waved a hand.
RUMBLE…
A square golden imperial seal flew out, continuously enlarging. A purple heavenly dragon coiled atop the seal, releasing billowing draconic majesty.
‘A mid-grade Heavenly Dao Artifact!’
Someone exclaimed.
In a minor country like Yan Country, most ordinary factions only possessed Initiate Dao artifacts. Only the Royal Family, the Sheng Yuan Sect, the Qianyang Sect, and the Ziwei Sect—the four major factions—could produce Heavenly Dao Artifacts.
Now, Xiao Tianjie had actually produced a mid-grade Heavenly Dao Artifact, naturally shocking everyone.
Boom!
Elder Luo of the Sheng Yuan Sect summoned a jade sword, which radiated towering sword light. Its sword aura seemed capable of shattering the heavens.
Boom!
Elder Ge of the Qianyang Sect summoned a black ring, which continuously enlarged, releasing a sky-full of black mist and making the firmament tremble.
‘Two low-grade Heavenly Dao Artifacts!’
Others cried out in astonishment.
‘Haha… Liu Qiming, you didn’t expect our Royal Family to possess a mid-grade Heavenly Dao Artifact, did you? Everyone, attack!’
Xiao Tianjie urged the golden imperial seal to smash toward Sect Leader Liu.
Sect Leader Liu’s face turned slightly gloomy. With a wave of his hand, he summoned a white precious pearl. It was a low-grade Heavenly Dao Artifact, one of the Ziwei Sect’s hidden assets.
‘Kill!’
The great battle erupted as the Destiny Realm experts from both sides clashed.
The Ziwei Sect’s side had fewer Destiny Realm experts, but they had one Late Stage Destiny Realm master and six Mid Stage Destiny Realm experts!
Although the three-faction alliance had more Destiny Realm experts, they only had seven Mid Stage Destiny Realm masters.
Their original strengths were roughly evenly matched!
However, Xiao Tianjie controlled a mid-grade Heavenly Dao Artifact, while Elder Luo of the Sheng Yuan Sect and Elder Ge of the Qianyang Sect each controlled a low-grade Heavenly Dao Artifact!
The Ziwei Sect only had one low-grade Heavenly Dao Artifact, so they were at a disadvantage.
Furthermore, all of the Ziwei Sect’s Destiny Realm experts had just broken through; their realms weren’t fully stabilized yet.
After a moment of fierce fighting, the Ziwei Sect’s twelve Destiny Realm experts became more and more hard-pressed, being forced back step by step.
The golden imperial seal controlled by Xiao Tianjie was especially terrifying in power.
The purple heavenly dragon flew off the seal, soaring across the sky and releasing billowing draconic majesty. Its aura seemed capable of shattering the heavens.
‘To think that after my years in seclusion, the Ziwei Sect has declined to such a state. Dealing with trash like them requires this much effort.’
At this moment, Ning Zhongqi suddenly shook his head and sighed softly. He had been standing within the Ziwei Sect’s forces, but he now prepared to step forward and join the battle.
His strength had already surpassed the Destiny Realm!
‘Elder Ning, no need to join in. They need proper experience.’
Ning Zhongqi suddenly received a voice transmission from Ye Yunfei.
‘Experience?’
Ning Zhongqi was startled. He looked toward Ye Yunfei and saw the youth standing there with his hands behind his back, relaxed and in no hurry at all.
‘Exactly. The Sect Leader and the Elders have only just broken through; they need proper experience. Rest assured, with me here, they’ll be fine. Moreover, you shouldn’t act too easily, Elder Ning. You are our Ziwei Sect’s secret strength. Act only when necessary.’
Ye Yunfei said to Ning Zhongqi.
‘Very well.’
Seeing that Ye Yunfei seemed to have a confident plan, Ning Zhongqi nodded.
He already held Ye Yunfei in extremely high regard.
BOOM! BOOM…
At this moment, the Destiny Realm experts on both sides were still engaged in full-force, fierce combat. The terrifying energy pressure they released surged and expanded, forcing the surrounding onlookers to retreat again and again, scattering to avoid it.
However, the situation of the Ziwei Sect’s Destiny Realm experts was growing increasingly dire.
‘Haha… Liu Qiming! Even if you broke through to the Late Stage Destiny Realm, so what?! You must die today, and the Ziwei Sect will certainly be exterminated!’
Xiao Tianjie laughed wildly.
‘Everyone, hold nothing back! Attack with full force! Today we must wipe out the Ziwei Sect!’
Xiao Tianjie shouted to the Destiny Realm experts of the three factions.
The attacks from the Destiny Realm experts of the three factions grew even more frenzied and violent.
Faces growing darker, the twelve Destiny Realm experts of the Ziwei Sect did their utmost to resist.
‘With characters like you, you cannot wipe out the Ziwei Sect. The only things you rely on are a few Heavenly Dao Artifacts. So what’s the big deal? Heavenly Dao Artifacts? Our Ziwei Sect can have as many as we want.’
Ye Yunfei suddenly sneered and spoke loudly.
‘What?!’
Hearing Ye Yunfei’s words, everyone was stunned.
‘Haha… You’re just boasting, kid! As many as we want?! Do you really think Heavenly Dao Artifacts are common as dirt?! At most, your Ziwei Sect only has that one lousy low-grade Heavenly Dao Artifact!’
Xiao Tianjie roared with laughter.
‘My apologies. For our Ziwei Sect, Heavenly Dao Artifacts really are a bit “common as dirt.” Sect Leader Liu, all you Elders, come over here and each pick one. Then take your time fighting them.’
As his words fell, Ye Yunfei waved a hand and took out twelve artifacts, which hovered in front of him.
‘How is this possible?!’
‘Twelve…twelve top-grade Heavenly Dao Artifacts?!’
Someone shouted in shock, their voice trembling.
Impossible!
Immediately, everyone’s gazes locked onto the twelve artifacts floating before Ye Yunfei. They were collectively petrified.
