"Senior Brother is back!"
The disciples of Ziwei Sect received the news and swarmed forward one after another, surrounding Ye Yunfei several layers deep in moments.
They all stared at Ye Yunfei with eyes full of worship and blazing passion.
First place on the Eastern Barrens Freak Minor Ranking!
Such a title was too resounding!
In the past, let alone first place on the Freak Minor Ranking, even being ranked three-hundredth was something beyond the reach of these Ziwei Sect disciples.
"Everyone, from now on, work hard on your cultivation. The cultivation methods, martial techniques, and resources of our Ziwei Sect will be no worse than those of the great powers in the Eastern Barrens.
I promise you, as long as you are willing to cultivate diligently, your future achievements will certainly not be inferior to those of the disciples from the major Eastern Barrens powers!
And our Ziwei Sect will rise mightily. One day, we will become one of the most powerful forces in the Eastern Barrens!"
Ye Yunfei swept his gaze slowly across the Ziwei Sect disciples as he proclaimed loudly.
"We heed Senior Brother's guidance!"
All the Ziwei Sect disciples listened, their blood burning with passion, and roared in unison.
During this period, having witnessed Ye Yunfei's various miraculous feats, these disciples placed absolute faith in his words.
"There is hope for our Ziwei Sect's rise!"
Even the high-level members of Ziwei Sect were extremely excited.
"Alright, everyone, disperse now.
Remember, from this moment on, focus your primary energy on cultivation!"
After delivering an encouraging speech, Ye Yunfei sent the disciples away.
"Su Fei, quite a few strangers have appeared around the headquarters these past few days, spying on our Ziwei Sect.
Their intentions are not good," Sect Leader Liu said quietly to Ye Yunfei.
"I know.
No need to worry. They are powerless against our Ziwei Sect."
Ye Yunfei replied lightly.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Ye Yunfei stomped his foot.
Rumble...
Around the Ziwei Sect headquarters, numerous Earth Dragons surged out from beneath the ground, swarming densely to attack the figures lurking in the vicinity.
Under Ye Yunfei's control, the Earth Dragons formed powerful earthen battle formations, unleashing a terrifying might.
When he had returned earlier, Ye Yunfei had already used his Soul Power to lock onto these figures!
"Damn it!
Why are there so many Earth Dragons!"
The figures lurking around the Ziwei Sect headquarters paled in shock. Although they came from major powers, they were merely scouts and not particularly strong in combat.
Ahh...
Screams rang out one after another as the scouts were torn to pieces by the numerous Earth Dragons, meeting gruesome deaths on the spot.
It must be known that over the past few days, Ye Yunfei had captured a large batch of Green Dragons. Compared to the Earth Dragons he controlled before, their power was much greater.
Moreover, during these days, Ye Yunfei had been continually studying the various advanced restrictions and inscriptions within the Dragon-Subduing Whip and the Measuring Earth Plate, gaining significant insights. His Earth Divination proficiency had risen to a new level!
After a short while, all the scouts around the headquarters had been killed!
Listening to the screams echoing from the headquarters' perimeter, Ziwei Sect's higher-ups looked upon Ye Yunfei with awe and admiration.
This method of killing enemies from a distance and without a trace was truly terrifying!
"Su Fei, these people are likely from some major powers of the Eastern Barrens. Those major forces will inevitably come looking for trouble with Ziwei Sect and you," Sect Leader Liu said, still extremely worried.
After all, compared to those Eastern Barrens powers, Ziwei Sect's current strength was far too weak.
If a fight broke out, Ziwei Sect stood a high chance of being annihilated!
"Do not worry.
Our Ziwei Sect has a long and profound heritage. We have no reason to fear even the great powers of the Eastern Barrens.
If they come, we will make them pay in blood," Ye Yunfei stated calmly.
Long and profound heritage!
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the Ziwei Sect higher-ups glanced at each other.
They felt there was hidden meaning in his words.
Because the Ancestral Hall and the Edict left behind by the Violet Aurora Great Emperor were precisely Ziwei Sect's deepest foundations!
"Su Fei, do you think... the Patriarch's Edict can withstand the great powers of the Eastern Barrens?" Sect Leader Liu asked cautiously.
"We will know when the time comes. Just rest assured, everyone.
No matter which Eastern Barrens major power it is, wanting to annihilate our Ziwei Sect won't be that easy!" Ye Yunfei answered.
"Alright.
Su Fei, with your words, we are at ease!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei's confidence, Sect Leader Liu and the higher-ups felt considerably more relaxed.
Imperceptibly, Ye Yunfei seemed to have become Ziwei Sect's spiritual pillar!
Everyone vaguely felt that as long as Senior Brother Su Fei was here, Ziwei Sect would not only be safe but also develop rapidly!
"Su Fei!
So, you've returned after all!"
Just then, a woman's voice rang out.
Everyone saw two young women approaching from afar, landing in front of Ye Yunfei.
It was actually Ji Yue and Ji Yan!
"Didn't you two return to the Ji Family?" Ye Yunfei asked, slightly surprised.
"We did return to the Ji Family once, but then we came back.
What of it? I am a disciple of Ziwei Sect, and in terms of seniority, I am your senior sister. Do I need to report to you when I come back?" Ji Yue retorted.
"Of course not," Ye Yunfei replied with a laugh.
"I came along to see your Ziwei Sect. You won't mind, right?" Ji Yan said.
After witnessing Ye Yunfei's astonishing combat prowess at the Lesser Lantai Gathering, she had developed curiosity and interest in Ziwei Sect and thus followed Ji Yan to its headquarters.
"Of course you're welcome.
Where would we dare not welcome the young ladies of the Ji Family?" Ye Yunfei replied.
"Sect Leader Liu, there is some bad news.
The Zhao Family has mustered a large force and is preparing to come looking for trouble with Ziwei Sect.
Aside from the Zhao Family, the Cangyan Sacred Sect, the Beast Taming Sect, and several affiliated forces of these major powers have also dispatched troops. They plan to join forces with the Zhao Family's troops and come together seeking trouble with Ziwei Sect.
Added up, at the very least, over ten forces will send troops, claiming they intend to launch a punitive expedition against our Ziwei Sect.
Our Ziwei Sect must make preparations."
Upon hearing Ji Yue's words, the faces of Sect Leader Liu and Ziwei Sect's higher-ups all changed.
"Those major powers like the Zhao Family are going too far. What happened at the Lesser Lantai Gathering was merely a conflict between the younger generation. For them to seek revenge afterwards...
Utterly lacking in grace. What kind of behavior is that!" Ji Yue said angrily.
"It's not that they lack grace, but that they believe our Ziwei Sect is too weak.
For them, there's no need to be graceful with those weaker.
However, they will regret it," Ye Yunfei said with a cold laugh.
"Sect Leader Liu, dispatch more scouts to gather information.
From now on, Ziwei Sect will close its mountain. No one, without permission, may enter or leave the headquarters at will.
Also, let everyone focus on cultivating safely within the headquarters. There's no need for any fear.
Our Ziwei Sect will be fine."
Ye Yunfei instructed Sect Leader Liu.
"I understand!"
Sect Leader Liu nodded.
