Ye Yunfei's voice was not loud, but everyone within and around Guzhou City heard it with perfect clarity.
The majority were stunned speechless.
A young junior, actually daring to say publicly that the Cangyan Sacred Sect was greedy and meddling in affairs that weren't its own!
This was an extremely severe provocation towards the Cangyan Sacred Sect!
One had to understand, the more powerful a faction's strength, the more it valued its reputation. Especially a superpower like the Cangyan Sacred Sect, how could it allow others to slander it like this!
The members of the Murong Family stood behind Ye Yunfei. Deep down, they felt his scolding was completely justified, but they also anticipated that cursing the Cangyan Sacred Sect like this would have dire consequences. Their faces all turned pale with fright.
If the Cangyan Sacred Sect chose to pursue this matter, it could definitely implicate the entire Murong Family!
"Young Master Su is too impulsive!" Patriarch Murong couldn't help but murmur.
"Patriarch, our Murong Family will likely be implicated by this boy!" a senior official said with a trembling voice.
"You're looking for death! Brat, you dare to slander our Cangyan Sacred Sect like this? Your audacity knows no bounds!" Li Han's fury contorted his features slightly.
Boom...
Vast, mighty energy pressure poured from his body, crushing towards Ye Yunfei.
He was at the Perfected Heavenly Position Realm level!
However, facing Li Han's energy pressure, Ye Yunfei stood motionless, showing no reaction whatsoever.
This somewhat surprised both Li Han and Hu Zhong.
"You filthy brat, you must have the heart of a leopard to dare openly confront a Cangyan Sacred Sect Steward. Tired of living!"
"What status do you think you are, questioning the two Stewards, you insignificant junior? Get out here immediately, kneel and kowtow in apology!"
"Daring to slander the Cangyan Sacred Sect is a grave transgression! We implore the two Stewards to order the immediate execution of this reckless, ignorant fool!"
The Meng Family members pointed at Ye Yunfei, cursing him one after another.
"Brat, are you a junior of the Murong Family? Do you not realize the words you just spoke have brought enormous disaster upon the Murong Family?" Hu Zhong's murderous gaze fixed on Ye Yunfei as he said coldly.
Hearing Hu Zhong's words, the Murong Family members all felt a chill in their hearts, a sense of foreboding rising within them.
"Could it be that trusting this Young Master Su was the wrong choice?" Even Patriarch Murong felt uncertainty and alarm in his heart.
"Who I am is of no concern to you. A word of advice: if you're sensible, leave now. Otherwise, you'll only end up making fools of yourselves," Ye Yunfei said calmly and assuredly, hands clasped behind his back.
What?
He dares to threaten the two Cangyan Sacred Sect Stewards?
Everyone listening secretly gasped in astonishment.
"Too presumptuous! An ant-like junior brat, daring to threaten the two Stewards to their faces like this? Go to hell!" At that moment, a Meng Family high official finally couldn't hold back. He stepped forward, activated his movement technique, and charged towards Ye Yunfei like lightning.
Ye Yunfei's expression darkened as he immediately unleashed the Aureate Soul Sword.
The Meng Family high official suddenly felt a piercing pain in his skull, clutching his head and screaming.
The next instant, a thick golden sword radiance flashed into being, rushing forth like thousands of horses and soldiers. With a *crack*, it cleaved the Meng Family high official in two.
This Meng Family member was at the Early Heavenly Position Realm. Yet, before Ye Yunfei, he appeared utterly weak—instantly killed in a single move.
Too strong!
The onlookers felt their eyelids twitch violently.
Killing an Early Heavenly Position Realm expert remotely with one move—such strength was already extremely terrifying to most martial artists.
"That's our Murong Family's Sword Scripture!" The Murong Family seniors looked at that fleeting golden sword radiance with both shock and delight.
These Murong elders had already experienced the sword lights radiating from their ancestral shrine, so they recognized it at a glance.
"What trash, daring to provoke my boss," the Ice Demon grinned.
"You brat, you're too arrogant! Daring to kill my Meng Family member!" Seeing this scene, the Meng Family forces all roared in fury.
Li Han and Hu Zhong's gazes towards Ye Yunfei also became somewhat graver.
Both of them were at the Perfected Heavenly Position Realm level. Although they also possessed the strength to instantly kill that Meng Family high official from a moment ago, they could sense that the sword technique Ye Yunfei had just unleashed was extraordinarily formidable.
"Alright, I don't have time to waste with you all. I hereby announce that from now on, the teleportation formation in Guzhou City belongs to the Murong Family. The Meng Family members must leave swiftly and are forbidden from coming to seize the Murong Family's teleportation formation ever again. Otherwise, bear the consequences yourselves," Ye Yunfei stated flatly.
What?
Once these words left Ye Yunfei's mouth, everyone was again dumbfounded.
Ye Yunfei's statement was exactly—word for word—what Li Han had said to the Murong Family moments ago.
"Brat, you're talking nonsense! Daring to provoke the two Stewards so openly means you're dead!"
"This kid is too arrogant! Let's all attack together and kill him!"
…
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the Meng Family members were enraged to the extreme, completely erupting. Some pointed at Ye Yunfei, cursing furiously; others stepped forward from the crowd, charging to attack him.
For a time, several dozen Meng Family members activated their movement techniques, collectively charging to kill Ye Yunfei.
At their forefront was a Meng Family Elder, a Mid Heavenly Position Realm expert!
"Looking for death!" Ye Yunfei sneered.
As his words fell,
Ye Yunfei waved his hand, unleashing slash after slash. Thick golden sword radiances rolled out, directly tearing through space and shaking heaven and earth.
One Sword to Pacify the World!
This sword technique prevailed through intent. Although its moves appeared simple, its terrifying Sword Intent could instantly obliterate an enemy's defenses!
Those Meng Family members charging towards Ye Yunfei only felt a boundless, terrifying Sword Qi rolling towards them like a vast ocean. Before the Sword Qi even arrived, their hair, clothes, and skin were sliced with hissing sounds. Bloody lines appeared on their bodies, as if they were ceramic sculptures about to be shattered.
Ahh…
These Meng Family members were so frightened their souls seemed to fly from their bodies. Each wanted to turn and flee, but it was already too late.
The horrifying Sword Intent had already enveloped them!
Pfft pfft...
The bodies of those Meng Family members who had charged at Ye Yunfei exploded one after another, transforming into puffs of bloody mist.
Including that Mid Heavenly Position Realm Meng Family Elder, all were dead within the span of two breaths!
"I've only just begun cultivating it, not yet skilled enough. I'll delve deeper into its comprehension later; its power will increase with more practice," Ye Yunfei himself, however, was not very satisfied.
Too strong!
Everyone present was frightened out of their wits.
"So Young Master Su's combat strength is this fearsome!" The Murong Family elders were both shocked and overjoyed, yet also felt a lingering fear.
"Patriarch, it's a good thing we have treated Young Master Su with courtesy all along and never offended him. Otherwise, the consequences would be unthinkable," one elder secretly transmitted his voice to Patriarch Murong.
"Indeed," Patriarch Murong secretly felt relieved as well.
The combat strength Ye Yunfei had just displayed made even him feel ashamed of his own inferiority!
"So his strength is so formidable! I actually underestimated him all along. Now that I think about it, I was truly like a frog at the bottom of a well," Murong Pei's beautiful eyes also fixed on Ye Yunfei as she thought to herself.
