"He really doesn't seem like a bad guy though… If it weren't for him, we would have been swindled out of our money by that scoundrel Situ Kong'er."
Seeing the Fifth Prince's furious glare, Rou'er shrank back behind her young lady and muttered quietly.
Cough, cough…
Upon hearing Rou'er's words, someone in the grand hall gave a light cough.
"So, you two know Su Fei? Could it be that you're allied with him? You two look unfamiliar. Speak, who exactly are you, and how did you sneak in?"
The Fifth Prince took a step forward, unleashing a torrent of energy pressure as he bore down on Rou'er and her young lady.
Vast, billowing Corpse Qi energy like pitch-black ink swiftly spread forward, within which faint cries of anguished ghosts and fierce souls could be heard.
"Humph! How imposing, Fifth Prince! How dare you threaten even our Longevity Palace's Young Lady!"
A handsome youth clad in violet robes stepped forward with a cold snort.
The Corpse Qi energy released by the Fifth Prince, upon reaching this violet-robed youth, all receded, unable to advance another inch, before dissipating completely.
"What? Brother Mo, she's the Young Lady of your Longevity Palace?"
Hearing the violet-robed youth's words, the Fifth Prince couldn't help but startle.
He recognized this violet-robed youth—his name was Mo Zixuan, a young monster from Longevity Palace renowned among the younger generation throughout the entire Central Divine Land.
"Indeed, Young Lady Pan Wanjun is our Longevity Palace's eldest young lady. Fifth Prince, you are mighty indeed to dare lay a hand on our eldest young lady. Humph! I'll say this bluntly: if a single hair on our Young Lady's head is harmed, once our Palace Lord pursues the matter, even the three Tomb Lords of your Corpse World might not be able to protect you!"
Mo Zixuan said with a frosty voice.
"A misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I didn't know the Young Lady's identity just now, hence my rudeness. I ask for Young Lady's forgiveness for my rashness!"
Though Mo Zixuan's words were unpleasant, the Fifth Prince dared not retort, for Longevity Palace's strength surpassed that of the Corpse World, and he had heard that Longevity Palace had an eldest young lady, doted upon by the higher-ups and treated as a treasure, whom no one dared offend.
If he really injured this Young Lady, the higher-ups of Longevity Palace would likely descend upon him like madmen seeking vengeance!
The Fifth Prince bowed to the Longevity Palace Young Lady, not daring to say another word, and hurriedly retreated, keeping his distance from the young lady.
Although he was the Fifth Prince of the Corpse World, a high-status figure, he still knew that there were some people he couldn't afford to provoke.
"So this is the Young Lady of Longevity Palace!"
The surrounding guests looked over with respectful gazes.
Most of the young geniuses attending this feast came from major sects and clans of the Central Divine Land and had all heard of the untouchable Young Lady of Longevity Palace. They never thought they would meet her in person.
Soon, some socially adept young geniuses stepped forward to strike up a conversation with this Young Lady from Longevity Palace.
However, the Young Lady seemed rather uninterested in chatting with strangers, replying with vague, non-committal answers.
"Esteemed guests, I'll be troubling you all to help track down and kill Su Fei!"
The Fifth Prince proclaimed loudly.
"Rest assured, Fifth Prince. We will certainly offer our full assistance. How can our grand Central Divine Land allow a brat from the Eastern Barrens to run wild and wreak havoc?"
A green-robed youth chimed in.
"Indeed. Most people coming out from a small backwater like the Eastern Barrens are trash. Once I find that boy Su Fei, I'll blast him to pieces with a single punch!"
Another tall man with a fierce gaze declared.
"Oh? Are you sure your strength is enough to blast Su Fei to pieces with one punch? I rather doubt it."
Just then, a voice dripping with sarcasm sounded.
Who was that?
Everyone was taken aback, their gazes turning toward the source in surprise.
Saying something like that on such an occasion amounted to a provocation—a provocation aimed at everyone present.
"You are the Young Master of Heavenly Moon Valley, correct? What, you don't think I can beat Su Fei?"
The tall man's eyes fixed on a white-robed youth as his expression darkened. He asked in a cold voice.
The Heavenly Moon Valley was considered a fairly powerful force in the Central Divine Land. Although it couldn't compare to major powers like the Corpse World or Longevity Palace, it still ranked among the first-rate forces.
This Young Master was named Kang Guangping, also a somewhat famous young genius in the Central Divine Land.
"I think you can't beat Su Fei. It's more likely Su Fei could blast you to pieces with a single punch."
Young Master Kang sneered.
"Kang Guangping, you're looking for death! Come, let's have a proper fight!"
The tall man flew into a rage. He took a step forward, a torrent of energy pressure sweeping out from his body like a hurricane. Then, a large saber appeared in his hand, radiating tyrannical saber energy.
"He's the eldest prince of the Black Wind Empire. The inherited Black Wind Thirteen Sabers of his family are incredibly fierce."
Someone murmured quietly.
"I won't fight you. If you want to fight, go fight Su Fei."
Kang Guangping said nonchalantly.
"Where is Su Fei? Find him and bring him here. I'll fight him immediately, smash him into fragments with one punch!"
The Black Wind Empire's eldest prince roared fiercely.
"Really? Then you can give it a try."
Kang Guangping replied.
"Kang Guangping, what do you mean by that? Could it be… you know Su Fei's whereabouts?"
Standing to the side, the Fifth Prince couldn't help but be intrigued upon hearing this. Unable to restrain himself, he took a step forward, closing in on Kang Guangping as he asked.
The gazes of everyone else also fixed on Kang Guangping.
"That's right, I do indeed know Su Fei's whereabouts. Fifth Prince, if I tell you where Su Fei is, will your Corpse World pay me a reward?"
Kang Guangping gave a faint smile.
"You really know Su Fei's whereabouts! Rest assured, as long as you tell us Su Fei's location, our Corpse World will absolutely deliver the reward! You can place your complete trust in the strength of our Corpse World."
Suppressing the rage in his heart, the Fifth Prince stared at Kang Guangping as he spoke.
"Good, then."
Kang Guangping nodded.
"Where exactly is Su Fei?"
The Fifth Prince asked impatiently.
"Far away at the ends of the earth, yet right before your eyes."
Kang Guangping smiled faintly.
In the next instant, a figure abruptly appeared before everyone's eyes.
It was precisely Ye Yunfei.
"You wanted to find me?"
Ye Yunfei looked toward the Fifth Prince and sneered.
"Su Fei! It's really you! How audacious of you to actually dare come running to our Corpse World's territory!"
Upon seeing Ye Yunfei, the Fifth Prince was both shocked and enraged, retreating several steps.
After all, back in the Eastern Barrens, he had witnessed Ye Yunfei's combat prowess firsthand, and the impression was deeply ingrained.
"This is Su Fei?"
The other young monsters also turned pale with shock. They had just been discussing how to hunt Su Fei down, and never imagined Su Fei would appear before their eyes so quickly.
"That's right, it's me."
Ye Yunfei sneered.
"You just said you wanted to hunt me down. Well, I'm right here. Anyone who wants to come after me, come on."
Ye Yunfei swept his gaze across the young geniuses within the great hall.
"You, didn't you just say that upon meeting me, you'd blast me to pieces with one punch? And you, didn't you say you wouldn't allow me to run wild in the Central Divine Land?"
Ye Yunfei's gaze fell upon the fierce-eyed tall man and the green-robed youth as he sneered.
How utterly arrogant!
Every single young genius within the great hall stared at Ye Yunfei, that thought flashing through their minds.
