“Well? Did you all come to find me for something?”
Ye Yunfei asked.
“That ancient formation suddenly activated, so we came to ask you what was happening,”
Shi Zongyang said.
“I borrowed that ancient formation for a use earlier. There’s no need for alarm.”
Ye Yunfei said indifferently.
“Elder Ren, I’ll hand over control of the formation to you now,”
Ye Yunfei continued.
“What? You’re handing over control of the formation to me now?”
The Hidden Elder was startled.
Other Tianyuan Sect executives were also somewhat surprised.
“Correct. This ancient formation belongs to the Tianyuan Sect; control naturally should be returned to you.”
Ye Yunfei said.
As his words fell, Ye Yunfei pointed a finger.
Whoosh!
A stream of information condensed from Soul Power rushed into the Hidden Elder’s mind. It was precisely the method for controlling the Tianxuan Five Elements Divine Mountain Formation.
“Ye Yunfei, I feel it would be better for you to control this ancient formation,”
The Hidden Elder said with a bitter smile.
“I’ve said I’ll be leaving the Tianyuan Sect. Alright, Elder Ren, you’d best familiarize yourself with this formation as soon as possible. While I’m still here, you can discuss any problems with me. After I leave the Tianyuan Sect, you’ll have to rely on yourself to figure things out.”
Ye Yunfei said.
“Ye Yunfei, are you really planning to leave the Tianyuan Sect?”
Shi Zongyang’s expression was complex as he spoke to Ye Yunfei. Ye Yunfei’s performance was too monstrously talented. To be able to kill Profound Realm experts at such a young age... even among the young geniuses of the major sects and clans in the Eastern Region, they were probably just like this, right? If Ye Yunfei could stay and become part of the Tianyuan Sect, he might lead the sect to new heights in the future.
“Perhaps my leaving the Tianyuan Sect is a good thing for your sect as well, isn’t it.”
Ye Yunfei swept a glance at Shi Zongyang, his expression seeming to hold a hint of a smile. He had long seen through the mindset of these Tianyuan Sect executives, but simply didn’t wish to expose it.
“Ye Yunfei, how about this. You and the Ye Family clansmen can stay temporarily at our Tianyuan Sect for this period of time. I need some time to familiarize myself with the ancient formation. Furthermore, the Tianying Small World will open in just over ten days. After you return from the Tianying Small World, you can leave the Tianyuan Sect then, if you still wish to.”
Suddenly, the Hidden Elder said to Ye Yunfei.
The other Tianyuan Sect executives were shocked upon hearing this. They had to remember, Ye Yunfei had killed over a dozen inner disciples of the Huangtian Sect. Once the news got back, the Huangtian Sect would definitely not let the matter rest. If Ye Yunfei continued staying at the Tianyuan Sect, it was very likely he would implicate the sect.
“Elder Ren…”
Both Luo Fengyang and Su Deqing became anxious.
“You don’t need to say more. I know what I’m doing.”
The Hidden Elder said.
“Elder Ren, aren’t you afraid I’ll implicate the Tianyuan Sect?”
Ye Yunfei glanced at the Hidden Elder and asked.
“Ye Yunfei, no matter what, you are still a disciple of our Tianyuan Sect for now. If a disciple has troubles, our Tianyuan Sect absolutely will not abandon them! It’s settled then. During this time, you and your clansmen can stay here at ease.”
The Hidden Elder stated.
“Ye Yunfei, your small tower was destroyed. I’ll arrange another one for you,”
Elder Du spoke up.
“Alright.”
Ye Yunfei glanced at the Hidden Elder and nodded. Actually, if he took the Ye Family clansmen back to Yuanyue City now, Ye Yunfei truly would be a bit uneasy. Because he planned to enter the Tianying Small World to take a look. Having the Ye Family clansmen remain within the Tianyuan Sect headquarters was relatively safer. After all, there was the Tianxuan Five Elements Divine Mountain Formation here, which, once activated, could obstruct Saint Realm experts.
“Alright, Ye Yunfei, we won’t disturb you further,”
The Hidden Elder led the Tianyuan Sect executives away. He was eager to return and properly familiarize himself with how to control the ancient formation.
Next, Elder Du arranged another small tower for Ye Yunfei in a nearby bamboo grove.
“Hu Miao, let’s go to the Back Mountain,”
After Elder Du left, Ye Yunfei took Hu Miao and headed towards the Back Mountain of the Tianyuan Sect headquarters.
Moments later, they arrived at the Back Mountain.
The Tianyuan Sect’s Back Mountain consisted of undulating peaks and vast forests. Ye Yunfei brought Hu Miao to a clearing among the trees.
“Hu Miao, keep guard for me. I’m going to cultivate a sword technique; it may take several days.”
Ye Yunfei said. Then, he sat down cross-legged and waved his hand.
Buzz…
Five long swords of different colors rushed out, their sword hums resonating through this dense forest.
“The Five Elements Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation shouldn’t let me down,”
Ye Yunfei gazed at the five swords spiraling and dancing through the air, revealing an expectant look.
“Let’s begin.”
Ye Yunfei murmured to himself.
Next, Ye Yunfei began cultivating the Five Elements Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation.
Time continuously flowed.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight days passed.
On this day, in the imperial capital of the Great Qin Empire.
The capital had now regained its former prosperity and liveliness.
Whoosh!
A streak of light appeared on the horizon, shooting swiftly towards the direction of the imperial palace.
The next moment, an enormous sword hovered high above the imperial city. This huge sword was ten meters long and three meters wide, suspended in mid-air. Standing upon the great sword were a middle-aged man and five young sect disciples.
“Go and investigate. Find out exactly how over a dozen of our Huangtian Sect’s inner disciples died.”
The middle-aged man said with his hands clasped behind his back, his tone light.
“Yes, Deacon Zhou.”
The five young sect disciples answered in unison. Then, they moved, stepping through the air and descending, landing within the imperial city. Deacon Zhou remained standing upon the giant sword, closing his eyes to rest.
Moments later...
Swoosh swoosh...
Several figures soared up from within the imperial city, arriving on the giant sword. It was precisely those five young sect disciples.
“Deacon Zhou, we’ve confirmed it. Over a dozen of our Huangtian Sect’s inner disciples were killed by a kid named Ye Yunfei. The cause of the incident was because Young Master Xiaoyao demanded that the current emperor of the Great Qin Empire abdicate the throne, letting Xiao Wushang’s father become emperor. Later, that Ye Yunfei appeared, erupting with ferocious might and killing all of our Huangtian Sect inner disciples.”
One of the disciples spoke up.
“Hmm. In that case, the news sent to our Huangtian Sect by the Great Qin Empire’s Xiaoyao Pavilion is true.”
Deacon Zhou nodded.
“That Xiao Wushang is an inner disciple of our Huangtian Sect. Having his father serve as emperor of this small kingdom is not inappropriate. Young Master Xiaoyao is an elite even among our Huangtian Sect’s inner disciples, ranked seventh. In this kind of remote backwater place, Young Master Xiaoyao’s words represent absolute truth. That kid called Ye Yunfei, daring to commit murder, his crimes are of the most heinous nature. He will not escape death.”
Deacon Zhou continued.
“Deacon Zhou, that Ye Yunfei is currently at the Tianyuan Sect headquarters. He himself is a disciple of the Tianyuan Sect.”
One of the disciples stepped forward and reported.
“Hmm. In that case, we’ll make a trip to the Tianyuan Sect.”
Deacon Zhou nodded.
“However, since the cause of the incident is related to the emperor of the Great Qin Empire, we cannot let him off either.”
After saying this, Deacon Zhou lightly stomped his foot.
Boom!
The giant sword abruptly flew to a position above the imperial palace.
