"Young Master Su, are you truly confident in dealing with the Meng Family and the Cangyan Sacred Sect?"
Seeing Ye Yunfei's attitude, Murong Pei was somewhat speechless.
The members of the Murong Family were all highly tense, standing in strict formation for battle, while Ye Yunfei appeared utterly relaxed and unconcerned.
"Don't worry," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"You…" Seeing Ye Yunfei's unyielding expression, Murong Pei grew a little angry.
"We've reached Guzhou City!"
At that moment, one of the Murong Family's high-ranking members spoke up.
Sure enough, on the land ahead, a large city appeared before everyone's eyes—it was indeed Guzhou City.
In a few moments, the flying vessel arrived above Guzhou City.
"Reporting to the Patriarch, the Meng Family's forces have not yet arrived!"
A Meng Family expert, leading a group of men, soared into the air, arriving before the flying vessel to address the Patriarch of Mu Rong.
"Have everyone prepare for battle!" commanded the Patriarch of Mu Rong as he emerged from the flying vessel with the others.
"They're here."
At that moment, Ye Yunfei's gaze suddenly turned towards the distant horizon as he spoke calmly.
"Where?"
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the others immediately looked in that direction. It seemed peaceful, with no apparent disturbances.
"Young Master Su, it seems they haven't arrived yet," said the Patriarch of Mu Rong.
However, right then...
*Boom... boom... boom…*
Rumbles resembling rolling thunder came continuously from that part of the sky.
Then everyone saw several imposing flying vessels surging ferociously from that direction.
"It's the Meng Family's vessels. They've truly come!" one of the high-ranking members exclaimed.
"Such formidable perception!"
The Murong Family's gazes towards Ye Yunfei shifted slightly. Clearly, Ye Yunfei's Soul Power perception far surpassed theirs, allowing him to sense the arrival of the Meng Family's vessels beforehand.
"The Meng Family's vessels are here!
The Murong Family's forces are also in strict formation. It seems neither family will easily relinquish their claim on the Teleportation Formation. This will be quite a spectacle!"
"Honestly, there isn't much suspense regarding the outcome. With the support of the Cangyan Sacred Sect, the Meng Family will definitely seize control of Guzhou City's Teleportation Formation!"
"Losing the Teleportation Formation is a minor matter for the Murong Family. It's highly likely they might even face extermination!
After all, the Murong and Meng families have been enemies for generations. That isn't easily resolved…"
At this time, crowds of onlookers gathered both inside and outside the city, engaging in lively discussion.
Guzhou City was a bustling metropolis with a large population.
*Boom…*
At this moment, the Meng Family's flying vessels arrived before Guzhou City.
There were four vessels in total, each emanating a powerful energy pressure that swept toward Guzhou City like a roaring tsunami.
"Deacon Li Han and Deacon Hu Zhong of the Cangyan Sacred Sect, leading the Meng Family forces, have come to take possession of Guzhou City's Teleportation Formation!"
A commanding voice rang out from the leading vessel.
Subsequently, groups of men disembarked from the four vessels.
At the forefront were two middle-aged men, both with hands clasped behind their backs, exuding an imposing aura. The opening and closing of their eyes radiated an intimidating pressure.
A large group of Meng Family high-ranking members surrounded these two men, looking at the Murong Family forces with smug expressions.
Needless to say, these two middle-aged men were undoubtedly deacons of the Cangyan Sacred Sect!
"Oh?
What is the meaning of this battle formation the Murong Family has assumed? Weren't you notified yesterday?
Don't tell me the Murong Family intends to stubbornly cling to the Teleportation Formation!
What audacity!"
The gaze of one of the men, dressed in embroidered robes, swept over the Murong Family's forces as he spoke coldly, his face filled with disdain and disgust.
"Deacon Li Han, the Murong Family is arrogant and blind! Witnessing the arrival of your esteemed selves from the Cangyan Sacred Sect, not only have they failed to come forward to welcome you, but they have also chosen to resist. This is tantamount to having no regard for the Cangyan Sacred Sect! Such an insolent and deluded family deserved to be destroyed long ago!"
An elderly man standing nearby immediately chimed in with ingratiating words.
This elderly man was the Patriarch of the Meng Family!
"Listen well, Murong Family. The Teleportation Formation in Guzhou City rightfully belongs to the Meng Family. Do not bring harm upon yourselves. Yield the Teleportation Formation immediately and leave Guzhou City.
Furthermore, from now on, you are forbidden from ever again seizing the Meng Family's Teleportation Formation.
If you comply, our Cangyan Sacred Sect will not hold your family accountable for any crimes," Deacon Li Han declared sonorously without a change in expression.
"I do not accept this!
For centuries, it has been common knowledge across the Saintly Country of Tianyue, even throughout the entire Eastern Barrens, that the Teleportation Formation of Guzhou City has always been jointly controlled in rotation by our Murong Family and the Meng Family!
Since when did it become the sole property of the Meng Family?" One of the Murong Family's high-ranking members couldn't help but retort.
"Impudence!
I have already investigated thoroughly. Centuries ago, the Teleportation Formation of Guzhou City originally belonged to the Meng Family. It was your Murong Family, driven by greed, who forcibly seized it, leading to the present situation.
Now, it is time to return the property to its rightful owner.
Otherwise, the consequences will be severe!" Deacon Hu Zhong of the Cangyan Sacred Sect harshly rebuked.
"Nonsense! That is not how it happened!"
Upon hearing Hu Zhong's words, the Murong Family's high-ranking members were all incensed.
"Thank you, Deacon Hu, for upholding justice and seeking redress on behalf of our Meng Family!" the Meng Family Patriarch declared loudly, feeling very pleased with himself.
The Meng Family's forces also sneered one by one. With the Cangyan Sacred Sect backing them, the Meng Family was determined to secure the Teleportation Formation in Guzhou City!
"The Cangyan Sacred Sect certainly puts on quite a grand show!
This is a matter between the Murong and Meng families. Yet here you are, the Cangyan Sacred Sect, sticking your nose in and acting as if you're all that. Aren't you ashamed?"
At that moment, a clear, light voice rang out.
Who dared to openly defy the deacons of the Cangyan Sacred Sect like this?
Everyone both inside and outside the city was stunned. Following the voice, they saw a young man emerge from the Murong Family's ranks. He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his face wearing a look of utter nonchalance.
It was Ye Yunfei.
Hu Miao and the Ice Demon stood closely on either side of him.
Who was this young man?
Countless gazes examined Ye Yunfei with astonishment.
"Huh?"
Li Han and Hu Zhong were momentarily bewildered.
The Cangyan Sacred Sect was one of the most powerful factions in the Eastern Barrens. As deacons traveling through the Eastern Barrens, they were met with reverence wherever they went.
Especially when facing second or third-rate powers like the Murong Family, they were akin to imperial envoys touring among commoners—lofty and superior.
Who would have thought that now, a junior would dare to openly defy them to their faces!
"You punk!
What did you just say?
Say it again!" Li Han's face turned extremely ugly with rage. He took a step forward, pointing a finger at Ye Yunfei.
"Didn't you hear me? I said you of the Cangyan Sacred Sect are sticking your nose where it doesn't belong!
The entire Saintly Country of Tianyue, even the whole Eastern Barrens knows that since ancient times, Guzhou City's Teleportation Formation has been jointly controlled in rotation by the Murong and Meng families. Yet, your Cangyan Sacred Sect, driven by greed, has come to meddle. Aren't you ashamed?"
Ye Yunfei let out a faint smile as he spoke.
