Swoosh, swoosh…
A dozen or so old men with a fierce aura soared through the air.
'They're all Mind Star Realm experts. Impressive,' Ye Yunfei noted inwardly as he watched these elders.
Throughout the Primordial Continent, everyone believed that Earth Kill, the organization that had once flourished for an era, had utterly vanished.
But Ye Yunfei had known early on that Earth Kill had in fact retained a number of powerful members, all hidden within a Small World connected to their headquarters! After all, Earth Kill was once an even greater force than the Tianyou Tomb; an organization of such might possessed deep, deep reserves and was not so easy to eradicate completely.
Take Ziwei Sect for example—it was an Emperor Lineage legacy after all. Though it had declined to rock bottom, becoming an insignificant little sect in the Eastern Barrens, it still held some hidden depth. The current Ziwei Sect, fortified by the edict left by Emperor Ziwei and their ancient defensive grand formation, could withstand the assault even of Mind Star Realm experts!
The dozen or so old men encircled Hall Master Mu and the Earth Kill members, questioning them enthusiastically about everything.
Hall Master Mu also respectfully addressed these elders as Ancestors.
'Who would have thought… the group Mu Yi led away in those days actually carried on so stubbornly. This adds a whole new contingent of members to Earth Kill,' one elder sighed emotionally. 'It seems the heavens do not wish Earth Kill destroyed.'
'Young man, you are a mystery. How did you come to know Earth Kill's secrets?' Suddenly, another elder walked up to Ye Yunfei and asked.
'Yes, young man, how do you know so many of our secrets?' The other elders also turned doubtful eyes towards him.
'Seniors, that's not important,' Ye Yunfei smiled. 'My main purpose in finding my way here is simply to ask: have you ever considered letting Earth Kill return to the world, to seek vengeance on the Tianyou Tomb?'
*Let Earth Kill return to the world and seek vengeance on the Tianyou Tomb?* Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the dozen or so elders stiffened, at a loss for an answer.
'Young man, our Earth Kill has been in decline for so very long,' one elder sighed after a moment. 'And the Tianyou Tomb has surely grown stronger over these years. To talk of vengeance now… easier said than done.'
'The Tianyou Tomb is not nearly as strong as you imagine,' Ye Yunfei chuckled. 'I have long since unraveled their movement technique and swordsmanship. I can share the key points with you. Study them just a bit, and you will easily counter their methods in the future.'
With Ye Yunfei's vast experience and martial wisdom, coupled with extensive contact with Tianyou Tomb assassins, he had indeed thoroughly analyzed their movement arts and sword skills. For Ye Yunfei, the Tianyou Tomb's techniques were now an open book.
Of course, when facing their truly peak experts, Ye Yunfei was still cautious due to the overwhelming power those masters could unleash. But purely regarding martial techniques and stances, the Tianyou Tomb's swordplay and movement arts seemed glaringly simplistic—almost laughably so—to him now.
'*What?* Young man, you've actually mastered the Tianyou Tomb's movement arts and swordsmanship?' The dozen elders were visibly astonished.
'Indeed,' Ye Yunfei nodded. 'Seniors, allow me to impart my insights right now.'
Speaking, he raised a hand and tapped out rapidly, sending over a dozen packets of Soul Power information directly into the elders' soul seas.
'Seniors, these are all Tianyou Tomb assassins,' Ye Yunfei waved his hand and summoned over a hundred slaves from the Phantom Tower. 'You can study their movement arts and swordsmanship closely.'
Every one of these slaves was a Tianyou Tomb assassin.
'They're all Tianyou Tomb assassins?!' The elders recoiled, instinctively drawing their swords. Auras surged from the blades as they prepared for combat. The Tianyou Tomb was Earth Kill's mortal enemy! For this young man to bring so many of their assassins here... how could they not be alarmed?
'Please, seniors, set your minds at ease,' Ye Yunfei assured them with a smile. 'They *were* Tianyou Tomb assassins. Now their only loyalty is to me.'
'Indeed, Ancestors,' Hall Master Mu stepped forward. 'Young Master Su wields miraculous methods. Things that seem impossible always become possible for him. Moreover, he is someone worthy of trust.'
'I thank Hall Master Mu for your faith,' Ye Yunfei smiled at him.
'Rest assured, Master! Our loyalty belongs only to you! We would brave any danger and ten thousand deaths in your service!' The slaves burst out in declaration upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, eager to prove their loyalty.
'Seniors, let me speak plainly then,' Ye Yunfei got straight to the point. 'My purpose in coming here is to find allies. I wish to ask you to leave these mountains and assist me—let us work together to deal with the Tianyou Tomb.'
'Young man, you want to deal with the Tianyou Tomb?' The elders stared at him incredulously. This junior... actually wanted to take on the Tianyou Tomb?
'Young man, forgive my bluntness,' one elder said carefully. 'But you're only at the Primordial Chaos Realm. I'm afraid you are far from sufficient to deal with the Tianyou Tomb. Despite everything, the Tianyou Tomb is a major power in the Primordial Continent, a heritage that has endured for countless years. Their strength should not be underestimated.'
'Seniors, there's really no need to fear the Tianyou Tomb so much,' Situ Kong'er, growing impatient, cut in. 'Older Brother Su and I have been confronting them lately. We've already destroyed over a dozen Tianyou Tomb outposts. Can't you see? These are the very assassins that Older Brother Su captured as slaves. It's not just the Tianyou Tomb—we've been confronting the Corpse World too! We even smashed their corpse-refining base in the Land of Life and Death.'
'That's incredible! Is that true?' The dozen elders were dumbfounded. Two juniors challenging the two great powers, Tianyou Tomb *and* Corpse World, simultaneously… That was outrageously bold.
'Of course it's true,' Ye Yunfei confirmed with a smile.
'I believe Young Master Su,' one elder nodded slowly. 'These people truly are Tianyou Tomb assassins, yet now they follow him. His methods are truly divine.'
'Ah... 'It is in youth that heroes emerge',' another elder couldn't help but sigh with admiration.
'Seniors, please cast aside your doubts,' Ye Yunfei pressed. 'Join me to deal with the Tianyou Tomb. The blood-soaked vendetta between your Earth Kill and the Tianyou Tomb—it is time for it to be settled.'
'Alright!' After a moment of rapid Sound Transmission discussion amongst themselves, one elder spoke up decisively. 'Since Young Master Su esteems us so, we will stand with you to confront the Tianyou Tomb! He is right—the bloody feud between our Earth Kill and the Tianyou Tomb must be settled!' 'My thanks for your support, Seniors,' Ye Yunfei replied, feeling a surge of excitement. 'To start, I will refine a batch of pills to help each of you achieve a breakthrough in your realms.'
After all, every single one of these dozen elders was a Mind Star Realm expert. And this Small World also housed several thousand of Earth Kill's elite members—each formidable in their own right! This meant Ye Yunfei had just gained an entire group of powerful allies!
