At this moment, under the assault of hundreds of Earth Dragons, the imperial capital was thrown into chaos. A large number of buildings were directly smashed to pieces by the Earth Dragons, stones and mud flew while dust clouds billowed.
Numerous members of the royal family were directly torn apart by these Earth Dragons, and screams of agony filled the air.
This sight enraged the Emperor and all his ministers to the core.
"Treason! There are rebels committing treason!"
"This is the gravest of high treason! No matter who it is, they must be executed!
Moreover, their entire clan up to the ninth degree must be implicated and all beheaded!"
Some ministers roared in fury.
"Your Majesty, it is this brat who is behind this!
The earlier roar was his doing, and these Earth Dragons were also summoned by him!"
General Tianfu pointed at Ye Yunfei and shouted.
"A brat with Dao Molding Realm strength?
General Tianfu, are you certain it is him?
His strength is so weak. How could he accomplish such a thing?"
Immediately, the gaze of the Emperor and all his ministers focused on Ye Yunfei. One minister couldn't help but ask.
"Your Majesty, this brat is incredibly strange!
His strength far exceeds his cultivation realm!"
General Tianfu declared.
"Brat, was it truly you who caused all this?
Who are you? Why have you come to the imperial capital to cause trouble?!"
One minister barked at Ye Yunfei.
"I am the Grand Elder Disciple of Ziwei Sect. I came here today to eradicate the royal family of Yan Country."
Ye Yunfei said indifferently, his hands clasped behind his back.
"How insolent!"
"Utterly audacious!"
"Courting death!"
...
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the entire assembly of court ministers erupted in furious rebuke.
"In ancient times, your Yan Kingdom's royal family was nothing more than a dog of the Ziwei Sect. Now, this dog is not only disobedient but even dares to bite back at its master. Naturally, it must be put down."
Facing the full fury of the civil and military ministers, Ye Yunfei remained utterly calm as he continued speaking.
"General Tianfu! Kill this arrogant scoundrel at once!"
The Emperor, upon hearing this, was enraged to the extreme.
It was true that the Yan Kingdom Royal Family was historically a subordinate force of the Ziwei Sect, relying on the sect for survival. However, as the Ziwei Sect continually declined over time, the Yan royalty stopped following the Ziwei Sect's commands.
Now, the Yan Kingdom Royal Family regarded this ancient history as a shameful chapter and was utterly unwilling to even mention it.
"As you command!"
General Tianfu raised his nine-ringed heavy steel blade and charged at Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei pointed a finger. The Profound Magnetic Mountain whooshed out, crashing towards General Tianfu.
Clang! Clang! Clang...
General Tianfu brandished his large blade and engaged the Profound Magnetic Mountain in fierce combat once more.
The Profound Magnetic Mountain blocked his path. For the moment, he simply couldn't force it back and get to Ye Yunfei to attack him.
"Go!
All of you, go! Kill this brat for me. I do not wish to see him alive!"
The Emperor roared.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh...
Several fierce figures simultaneously charged towards Ye Yunfei. All of them were Destiny Realm experts!
Over the years, the Yan Kingdom Royal Family had spent enormous wealth to recruit many Destiny Realm experts precisely to deal with the Ziwei Sect!
"They are trying to surround and attack Su Fei!
Move! We attack into the city!
Remember, protect Su Fei at all costs! We absolutely cannot let anything happen to him!"
At this moment, Sect Leader Liu arrived with the Ziwei Sect forces. Even from a distance, he could sense the situation inside the imperial capital and saw those Destiny Realm experts preparing to move against Ye Yunfei. He grew somewhat anxious.
"Kill!"
Sect Leader Liu let out a loud shout and led the charge towards the imperial capital.
"Since I dared to come alone to the Yan Kingdom imperial capital, how could I be unprepared?"
Meanwhile, within the capital, Ye Yunfei watched the Destiny Realm experts charging towards him and gave a cold smile.
Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei performed Spatial Translocation, instantly switching to a different location.
Ye Yunfei wove his hands into a strange sealing gesture. Spiritual energy surged from within him and poured into the seal.
"The Sacred Decree of the Ziwei Great Emperor is here! Ministers of Yan, heed my command! Assist me in slaying the enemy!"
Following this, Ye Yunfei thrust both hands towards the depths of the imperial capital and shouted loudly.
Within the deep depths of the Yan Kingdom imperial capital, inside a resplendent and magnificent temple, there stood several imposing statues and many soul tablets. As Ye Yunfei's shout echoed, those statues and soul tablets began trembling violently.
Then.
Boom!
From within one of the statues, a remnant soul phantom shot out, emitting powerful energy fluctuations. It instantly shot out of the temple and streaked across the sky.
"Zhu Tianming, tenth-generation emperor of the Yan Kingdom Royal Family, humbly greets the Sacred Decree of the Ziwei Great Emperor!"
This remnant soul phantom halted before Ye Yunfei, performed a ceremonial bow towards him, and spoke in a clear, resonant voice.
This was a middle-aged man wearing a tall crown and draped in dragon robes, his face full of majesty and righteous bearing.
"What?!
The tenth-generation emperor of the Yan Kingdom Royal Family, Zhu Tianming?
Would that not be our royal family's tenth-generation ancestor?"
Upon hearing the middle-aged man's words, the Emperor of Yan and his court ministers all jumped in fright.
"Kill these guys."
Ye Yunfei pointed at the five Destiny Realm experts charging towards him.
"Understood!"
The middle-aged man's response was crisp and direct. With an acknowledgment, he turned and threw a fist at those five Destiny Realm experts.
BOOM...
The temple deep within the capital trembled continuously, releasing billowing energy that traversed the distance to augment the power of this middle-aged man's fist.
Roar! Roar...
Suddenly, from the fist thrown by the middle-aged man, eighteen golden Heavenly Dragons rushed forth! They released vast and majestic dragon might, soaring through the heavens before pouncing towards those Destiny Realm experts.
"The Eighteen Heavenly Dragon Fist!
He truly is an ancestor of our Zhu Family Royalty!"
The Emperor saw this and cried out, his feelings a mixture of shock and joy.
The fist technique unleashed by this middle-aged man was the most orthodox inheritance of the Yan Kingdom Royal Family. Naturally, the Emperor recognized it at a glance.
“Aaaah...”
The eighteen Heavenly Dragons surged past in a terrifying whirlwind, instantly killing all five Destiny Realm experts and tearing them to shreds.
"So strong!"
Everyone who witnessed this felt their hearts racing and souls shaken. To kill five Destiny Realm experts with a single move—such combat prowess was simply terrifying within the borders of Yan Country.
Because of this, the experts of the Yan Royal Family no longer dared to act.
"No!
Why would an ancestor of our Zhu Family Royalty take orders from this brat!"
The Emperor was utterly unwilling to accept this. These Destiny Realm experts had been hired by the Royal Family at a great price. The death of each one represented a grievous loss for the royalty.
"Your descendant of the Zhu Family Royalty, Zhu Youfeng, pays respects to the tenth-generation ancestor!"
The Emperor strode forward and knelt down before the middle-aged man, performing the formal rites of respect.
"Oh?
You are the current emperor of our Yan Kingdom Royal Family?"
The middle-aged man swept a glance at the Emperor, his gaze taking in the Emperor's attire.
"In response to the Tenth Ancestor's question, Youfeng is indeed the current emperor of the Yan Kingdom Royal Family."
The Emperor hastily replied.
"Hmm.
Remember, as emperor, you must be diligent in governance and love your people like your own children. Only thus will you not disappoint the heartfelt intent of the Ziwei Great Emperor, who entrusted this domain to our Zhu Family to govern back then."
The middle-aged man nodded slightly and offered a casual word of encouragement.
Upon hearing this, the Emperor's face showed a hint of discomfort.
He naturally knew that the Ziwei Great Emperor was the founding patriarch of Ziwei Sect.
However, the current Yan Kingdom Royal Family was dead set on annihilating the Ziwei Sect. What did they care anymore about any heartfelt intent of the Ziwei Great Emperor?
