Thump! Thump!
At this moment, the two supreme elders of the Zhao Family were also blasted flying by the Blood Clan Clone, both vomiting blood.
Whoosh...
The Blood Clan Clone executed the Blood-Sucking Grand Method, generating a tremendous suction force that forcefully drew over the origin essence blood of the nine Dao Origin Realm experts who had just been shattered by Ye Yunfei, swallowing it all in one gulp.
Boom...
The Blood Clan Clone's strength increased once again. Wielding its crimson great blade, it charged towards the two Zhao Family supreme elders, forcing them back relentlessly, utterly unable to put up any resistance.
Ah!
A moment later, one of the supreme elders was cleaved in two by a single slash from the Blood Clan Clone. That blood blade erupted with a terrifying suction force, instantly draining all the blood from within the supreme elder's body.
The other supreme elder, his courage utterly shattered, no longer dared to fight and turned to flee.
Transforming into a streak of bloody light, the Blood Clan Clone gave chase.
"Kill!"
Lü Yugang and the other high-ranking officers of the Tianxuan Army led their forces in a fierce charge towards the Zhao Family's troops.
"Kill!"
The forces from the surrounding factions also surged forward like a tide, forming a massive encirclement as they advanced to surround and slaughter the Zhao Family's forces.
"Our Zhao Family is finished."
Facing the onrushing tide of enemies, every member of the Zhao Family revealed expressions of utter despair.
"Your turn."
Ye Yunfei stepped forward, walking towards Patriarch Zhao.
"Young Master Su, spare me!
Whatever you want, I can give it to you!
All the wealth of the entire Zhao Family can be yours!"
Patriarch Zhao was finally frightened.
He knew he could never be a match for Ye Yunfei!
He would likely die in a single move!
This former heavyweight, whose mere stomp could once shake the entire Eastern Barrens three times, was finally afraid. At the brink of life and death, he was no different from most martial artists under heaven—craven and clinging desperately to life!
"Once you're dead, all the Zhao Family's wealth will still be mine."
Ye Yunfei said coldly.
As he spoke, Ye Yunfei had already approached Patriarch Zhao. His right hand clenched into a fist, extending forward slowly to strike.
Rumble...
Guided by the fist technique, the surrounding space shook violently as energy and laws from the heavens and earth rolled in.
Patriarch Zhao felt his body sink as if an invisible divine mountain had descended from the sky. A terrifying weight pressed down on his physical form, causing his body to creak and groan, unable to bear the load.
"Young Master Su, spare my life.
If you will spare me, I can pledge my loyalty to you, be your slave!"
Watching Ye Yunfei's fist slowly advancing towards him, enveloped by that terrifying fist intent, Patriarch Zhao was scared out of his wits. His psyche couldn't withstand it and began to collapse.
Of course, he didn't shout these words aloud but sent them to Ye Yunfei via sound transmission.
"Be my slave?"
Hearing Patriarch Zhao's words, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but be taken aback.
"I wonder if, given my current Soul Power strength, I can use the Puppet Soul Thread Secret Art to subdue experts at the Dao Origin Realm level."
Ye Yunfei thought inwardly.
After breaking through to the completion of the Life Palace Realm, Ye Yunfei's Soul Power had strengthened accordingly, and the might of the Puppet Soul Thread Secret Art he could wield had naturally increased as well.
"If you truly do not wish to die, then abandon all resistance. I will now seal your cultivation."
Ye Yunfei's fist had already reached Patriarch Zhao's chest, brushing against his robe, when it suddenly stopped. He spoke to Patriarch Zhao.
A mighty wave of fist power completely engulfed Patriarch Zhao, causing him to feel a profound sense of death.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Patriarch Zhao was overjoyed, almost collapsing to the ground in relief.
"Also, order your Zhao Family members to abandon resistance. Otherwise, they die."
Ye Yunfei considered briefly, then said to Patriarch Zhao.
"Yes."
Patriarch Zhao knew his life hung on Ye Yunfei's whim and would comply with anything.
Patriarch Zhao immediately issued orders, commanding the Zhao Family troops to cease all resistance.
Ye Yunfei also gave an order, instructing everyone to stop encircling and attacking the Zhao Family troops.
Upon Ye Yunfei's command, all forces instantly halted their attacks.
By now, one-third of the Zhao Family members had been killed. The remaining two-thirds huddled close together, trembling uncontrollably.
"Capture them all, imprison them in the dungeons for now."
Ye Yunfei ordered.
"Yes!"
Immediately, several high-ranking Tianxuan Army officers led men to seize and capture all the Zhao Family members, taking them back to the Zhao Family headquarters to be imprisoned in the dungeons.
Ye Yunfei personally sealed Patriarch Zhao's cultivation and teleported him into the Illusory Mirror Pagoda.
Pondering, Ye Yunfei sent messengers separately to relay orders to the Demon Race Ancestor, Lü Yugang, and others.
At this moment, forces like the Demon Race, the Four Directions Trading House, and the Great Thunderclap Monastery had gone to deal with the other four major factions such as the Beast Taming Sect.
The main purpose of Ye Yunfei's messengers was to inform the Demon Race Ancestor and others that they need not annihilate everyone completely; they were permitted to allow the members of the Beast Taming Sect and the other major forces to surrender.
Because Ye Yunfei intended to test whether he could subdue Dao Origin Realm experts.
If he could subdue all the Dao Origin Realm experts from these major forces and turn them into his slaves, then these major factions would essentially become his forces as well.
"Everyone, today's events are concluded. You may all return.
The Zhao Family has been punished. From now on, they will no longer bring calamity to the Eastern Barrens."
Ye Yunfei turned his gaze towards the various large and small factions' forces from the Eastern Barrens and announced in a clear voice.
"Since Young Master Su bids us return, we shall return."
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, many immediately voiced their agreement.
Although some factions harbored deep hatred for the Zhao Family and dearly wished to slaughter every last member, they could only reluctantly give up the idea now that Ye Yunfei had spoken.
"Young Master Su, you are the savior of our Eastern Barrens. From this moment forward, should Young Master Su have any commands, just give the word, and our Moon Arc Sect will surely go all out, obeying Young Master Su's orders without fail!"
Suddenly, the sect master of a first-rate faction stepped forward, bowing respectfully to Ye Yunfei and declaring loudly.
Upon seeing this, the sect masters of many other factions immediately came to their senses.
The young man standing before them now was the heavyweight of utmost importance in the entire Eastern Barrens!
Now was the best opportunity to forge ties!
"Young Master Su, from now on, our Seven Stars Gang willingly follows your commands!"
"I declare that our White Lotus Sect reveres Young Master Su as its master!"
…
The leaders of various factions scrambled to step forward, pledging their loyalty to Ye Yunfei one after another.
"Everyone, I appreciate your good intentions.
I generally will not command you to do anything.
Our Eastern Barrens has just experienced a great calamity. Now is the time for rest, recuperation, and nurturing our vitality.
Everyone should return and focus on developing your forces well."
Finally, Ye Yunfei waved his hand, silencing the crowd, and announced clearly.
"Since Young Master Su tells us to return and develop well, we shall simply obey!
Don't add to the chaos here.
However, when Young Master Su needs to summon us in the future, everyone must remember to obey his commands!"
Someone shouted loudly.
"Good!"
All the forces resounded with a unified, thunderous affirmation. Their vast combined voices gathered into a roar that soared into the clouds, causing this part of the heavens and earth to shake violently.
