"Senior, although Ye Yunfei is a disciple of our Tianyuan Sect, we absolutely do not intend to shield him.
That lad Ye Yunfei has always been of a cruel temperament, arrogant, and fond of stirring up trouble.
Even though I am an elder of the Tianyuan Sect, I was once publicly beaten and humiliated by Ye Yunfei, sustaining heavy injuries and suffering a complete loss of face.
Therefore, the higher-ups of our Tianyuan Sect are planning to expel Ye Yunfei from the sect.
Senior, Ye Yunfei and his clan members are all currently within the headquarters of our Tianyuan Sect. I can lead you to find Ye Yunfei and his people.
That way, Senior, you can exterminate Ye Yunfei’s entire clan to avenge those fallen disciples of the Huangtian Sect." Suddenly, Luo Fengyang stepped forward, speaking clearly in a loud voice.
"Luo Fengyang, you!" Elder Du couldn't help but fly into a rage upon hearing this.
Elder Ren (the Hidden Elder), the Sect Leader, and all the other Tianyuan Sect higher-ups also had their expressions drastically change.
"Elder Ren, Sect Leader, I support Elder Luo's course of action," Su Deqing declared in a similarly clear voice. "What virtues and abilities does a mere Ye Yunfei possess? Must our entire Tianyuan Sect be sacrificed to accompany him to the grave? Senior, I am also willing to lead the way to eliminate Ye Yunfei's entire clan and avenge the fallen disciples of the Huangtian Sect."
"Fine.
You two lead the way.
I am going to exterminate Ye Yunfei's entire clan," Attendant Zhou said coolly, his hands clasped behind his back.
"Senior, this way." Luo Fengyang and Su Deqing simultaneously activated their movement techniques, heading towards a small peak where the Ye Family members were residing.
Attendant Zhou rode the giant sword, soaring through the air, and followed them.
"Senior!" Elder Du grew frantic, rising into the air to try and block Attendant Zhou.
Boom!
With a casual palm strike in mid-air, Attendant Zhou sent a massive palm imprint crashing onto Elder Du's body.
Elder Du's body was sent flying backwards by the shockwave, crashing onto the ground. His bones were fractured, his internal organs were shattered, and he could no longer rise.
*****
At that moment.
In the Back Mountain of the Tianyuan Sect Headquarters.
Within a dense forest.
Hummm, Hummm, Hummm, Hummm, Hummm!
Suddenly, five longswords of different colors simultaneously slashed horizontally, unleashing astonishing Sword Momentum.
Boom, Boom, Boom...
Countless towering giant trees within this dense forest spanning dozens of miles were shattered into dust by the terrifying Sword Momentum released from these five swords, exploding continuously.
In less than a second, this vast expanse of dense forest completely disappeared, turning into a field of ruins!
"The Five Elements Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation is finally perfected. Its power does not disappoint me." From the central area of these ruins, Ye Yunfei slowly stood up, revealing a satisfied smile.
"Master, the power of this sword array is truly terrifying! With this set, Master should now be able to battle experts at the Saint Realm!" Hu Miao appeared beside Ye Yunfei. Her beautiful eyes looked around at the surrounding ruins, and she couldn't help but marvel.
Ye Yunfei gave a faint smile.
He had obtained this Five Elements Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation in his previous life from a major sect called the Immortal Sword Palace. It was one of the Immortal Sword Palace's treasured secret techniques.
In the Three Thousand Realms, the Immortal Sword Palace's reputation shook the heavens; it was a super-sized sect claiming to have a heritage of ten thousand years.
One could imagine just how precious the treasured secret techniques of the Immortal Sword Palace were.
Ye Yunfei stretched out a finger.
Swish, Swish, Swish, Swish, Swish!
Five swords of different colors instantly appeared in front of Ye Yunfei.
The five swords were linked by their auras, resonating with each other, forming a unified whole.
"Hu Miao, come, try the sensation of soaring through the skies." Ye Yunfei laughed.
The Five Elements Spirit Swords had another wonderful function—they could be used as flying swords.
Using his Sword Intent to drive the five swords, he could ride his swords to fly!
Sword riding was a divine ability possessed by sword cultivators.
In his previous life, Ye Yunfei's achievements in the sword dao were extremely profound.
After his rebirth, his sword dao level was still far from recovering to its peak, with only a small portion restored.
But even this small portion was already enough for Ye Yunfei to commandeer the Five Elements Spirit Swords and fly.
Ye Yunfei tapped the tip of his foot and stood upon the Five Elements Spirit Swords.
"Good!
Master, take me for a ride!" Hu Miao giggled and also jumped onto the five spirit swords.
Ye Yunfei executed a hand seal.
Swoosh!
The five spirit swords carried Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao, shooting up into the sky, soaring across the firmament at an extremely fast speed.
"Not bad at all.
Travel will be much more convenient from now on." Standing upon the Five Elements Spirit Swords with his hands clasped behind his back, Ye Yunfei's robes flapped violently in the wind. He nodded in satisfaction.
"So fast!
This is much faster than flying on my own!" Standing beside Ye Yunfei, Hu Miao was yelling and shouting excitedly like a child.
The garments she wore were already extremely thin; now, under the high-altitude gale, her enchanting, exquisite curves were revealed without the slightest concealment.
Hu Miao's current strength was at the Late Stage of the Profound Realm. She could already fly through the air long ago.
However, she realized that her own flying speed simply could not compare to Ye Yunfei's sword riding.
"Alright, let's head back to the Tianyuan Sect Headquarters." Ye Yunfei urged the Five Elements Spirit Swords onward, swiftly flying back toward the Tianyuan Sect Headquarters.
*****
Meanwhile.
Within the Tianyuan Sect Headquarters.
At the small peak where the Ye Family members resided.
Swish! Swish!
Two figures arrived in the sky above this small peak and came to a halt.
They were precisely Luo Fengyang and Su Deqing.
Looking down at the small peak below, Luo Fengyang and Su Deqing both wore cold smiles.
Both of them had long-standing conflicts with Ye Yunfei, nursing resentment deep in their hearts.
With Ye Yunfei's meteoric rise, the two of them felt even more that Ye Yunfei was suppressing them, making it impossible for them to hold their heads high.
Now, an opportunity for revenge had finally arrived!
Rumble…
Behind them, a giant sword came flying through the air.
"Ye Tianpeng, get out here!" Luo Fengyang roared. Mighty spiritual pressure erupted from his body, crashing down upon the small peak.
Boom!
Instantly, the small peak below trembled and shook.
Up on the small peak, many Ye Family members couldn't withstand Luo Fengyang's spiritual pressure. Some fell to their knees on the spot, and a few even vomited blood or were injured immediately.
After all, the strength of the Ye Family members was far too weak.
"Elder Luo, Elder Su, just what is going on?" Patriarch Ye Tianpeng, accompanied by a few elders of the Ye Family, appeared. Looking at Luo Fengyang and Su Deqing high in the sky, he asked in shock.
This Luo Fengyang and Su Deqing, in the recent period, though not exactly warm toward the Ye Family members, had nonetheless treated them with proper courtesy.
Patriarch Ye Tianpeng couldn't figure out why the two of them had assumed such an accusing and threatening attitude today.
"Ye Tianpeng, where is your son, Ye Yunfei? Hand him over immediately! Ye Yunfei has committed a grave crime; this time, not even death will absolve his sin. All members of your Ye Family will also accompany Ye Yunfei to the grave!" Luo Fengyang sneered.
"What!
Ye Yunfei has committed a grave crime!" Patriarch Ye Tianpeng was immensely alarmed upon hearing this.
"Elder Luo, Elder Su, perhaps there is some misunderstanding in this," Patriarch Ye Tianpeng called out loudly toward Luo Fengyang and Su Deqing.
"Hahaha, how could there be any misunderstanding? Your son, Ye Yunfei, is audacious to the extreme. He actually dared to harm and kill disciples of the Eastern Region's major sect, the Huangtian Sect. This is a capital offense. Everyone in your Ye Family, from top to bottom, must die alongside him!" Luo Fengyang laughed heartily.
"What!
Ye Yunfei killed disciples of the Huangtian Sect!" Upon hearing this, Patriarch Ye Tianpeng and the Ye Family elders felt as if they had been struck by lightning. Their faces went ashen.
If this was truly the case, the Ye Family might be beyond salvation!
Although Patriarch Ye Tianpeng and these Ye Family elders had long lived in the remote Yuanyue City, they still knew by hearsay of some major sects in the Eastern Region.
"Haha, Ye Tianpeng, I think your precious son Ye Yunfei has already fled the scene. Otherwise, why hasn't he shown up until now?" Su Deqing suddenly laughed out loud.
"That's right!" Luo Fengyang loudly addressed Attendant Zhou, who stood afar. "Senior of the Huangtian Sect, Ye Yunfei has still not appeared. It's highly likely that he discovered Senior's arrival and secretly escaped. However, Senior, rest assured. After killing these Ye Family members, I will immediately dispatch disciples from our Tianyuan Sect to track down Ye Yunfei's whereabouts."
Far away.
Elder Ren (the Hidden Elder), Shi Zongyang, and the other Tianyuan Sect higher-ups had expressions filled with bitterness and difficulty.
"Elder Ren, tell us, just where is Ye Yunfei? If he is within the headquarters, logically speaking, he would have definitely learned about such a major incident by now. Why hasn't he shown up? Could it be that he has really fled?" Shi Zongyang furrowed his brow as he asked.
"Impossible. Given Ye Yunfei's character, he would absolutely never abandon his clansmen and flee on his own. He is definitely still within our Tianyuan Sect Headquarters. I think it's highly likely that Ye Yunfei is currently practicing or familiarizing himself with those five spirit swords," Elder Ren replied, wearing an expression of deep thought.
"Those five swords of Ye Yunfei are extraordinary," Elder Ren continued. "I can sense that if Ye Yunfei were to use those five swords against me, I would definitely not be his opponent! He could instantly kill me! I suspect those five swords could be used to battle experts at the Saint Realm!"
"How could that be?!" Shi Zongyang was shocked upon hearing this; his heart was like a stormy sea.
"He could activate the ancient formation left by our founding ancestor. He could casually take out several dozen fifth-grade spirit pills. He has a servant girl with the strength of the Late Stage of the Profound Realm. And he possesses five spirit swords that can potentially contend with the Saint Realm… All this indicates that Ye Yunfei is far from ordinary. He must have an exceptionally profound background and origin! Zongyang, let's take a gamble. Let us act and stand together with the Ye Family members, advancing and retreating as one!" Elder Ren suddenly gritted his teeth and said.
