Since this Mao Xiaohao kept saying he wanted to kill Ye Yunfei, then Ye Yunfei might as well go and meet him.
If someone wanted to kill him, with Ye Yunfei's temperament, he naturally wouldn't be polite.
"Esteemed guests, the gathering is about to begin! All young geniuses participating in the gathering should proceed immediately to the Small Boundary Palace in the eastern part of the city!"
Suddenly, a sharp and stern-looking elder appeared in the sky above Tianliang City, speaking in a loud, clear voice.
This elder's voice was like rolling thunder, echoing throughout the entire Tianliang City, allowing everyone to hear it clearly.
Immediately, young people within the city rushed toward the east district, entering a resplendently golden and imposing palace.
The interior of this palace contained peculiar temporal and spatial laws, making it equivalent to a large Space Treasure; it was exceptionally spacious inside, akin to a Small World.
Wave after wave of young martial artists continuously poured into this small boundary, making the inside lively.
In the center of the small boundary, a high platform was erected, and a banquet was laid out upon it.
Radiating out from this high platform in all directions were densely packed banquet tables.
Many disciples of the Tianliang Sacred Land were busy receiving the guests.
However, the invited guests were assigned seats at different banquet tables according to their strength and social status.
Among them, some young geniuses with particularly formidable strength or exceptionally high status were invited to sit at the banquet on the high platform.
With his hands clasped behind his back, Ye Yunfei strode into this Small Boundary Palace unhurriedly and steadily.
"Esteemed guest, may I see your invitation?"
Just as Ye Yunfei entered, a disciple of Tianliang Sacred Land came forward to greet him and asked.
For this gathering hosted by Tianliang Sacred Land, the invitations sent out all indicated the invitee's identity, so these receiving disciples simply needed to look at the invitation to know which table to seat the guest at.
"I don't have an invitation," Ye Yunfei answered blandly.
Ye Yunfei was specifically here to cause trouble, so why would he bother with an invitation? The slightest provocation, and he would immediately begin a massacre.
"No invitation?
You have no invitation, yet you came here?
Get lost immediately!"
The face of that Tianliang Sacred Land disciple darkened.
Tianliang Sacred Land was one of the mightiest powers in Tianxiong Domain; these disciples were all supremely arrogant, looking down on members of other factions in their hearts. Now, hearing that Ye Yunfei had no invitation, he immediately showed him no good grace.
"Forget it.
Elder Lu Zhishi has instructed that for this gathering, some young martial artists without invitations might sneak in, hoping to broaden their horizons and see something of the world. He told us to turn a blind eye and simply seat them in the most remote corner."
Just as that disciple was about to throw Ye Yunfei out, another disciple nearby walked over and spoke.
"Humph!
You're lucky!
Go to that most remote corner over there and find yourself a seat. Behave properly, don't cause trouble, otherwise I'll toss you out!"
The disciple glared at Ye Yunfei, then turned to attend to other guests.
Ye Yunfei didn't mind, finding a seat at the very edge to sit down.
He intended to wait until Mao Xiaohao appeared before moving against him.
A short while later, almost all banquet tables were filled. Those attending the gathering were all nearly present.
On the central high platform, many young geniuses with extraordinary bearing had also taken their seats, each one standing out from their peers, making others pay attention.
Ye Yunfei swept his gaze and saw Zhu Keqi also on that high platform, surrounded by several young men engaging her in conversation; she seemed quite popular.
"So she's awakened the Heavenly Moon Physique. Hmm, it counts as quite a nice special physique."
Ye Yunfei noticed that above Zhu Keqi's head, a faintly discernible full moon flickered and immediately recognized this as the Heavenly Moon Physique, nodding slightly in acknowledgment.
However, Ye Yunfei did not spot Zhu Ziyan on that high platform.
Perhaps Zhu Ziyan's tier wasn't sufficient, so she wasn't invited to that high platform.
Ye Yunfei knew that with Zhu Ziyan's personality, she would definitely come to join the excitement at a large gathering of young geniuses like this.
Just as Ye Yunfei thought of Zhu Ziyan, not far from the central high platform, a beautiful woman's gaze suddenly fell upon Ye Yunfei sitting at the edge. She let out a soft sound of surprise.
"He actually came too!
What is he playing at? Doesn't he know Mao Xiaohao is looking for him?
This guy is really bold!"
After confirming it was indeed Ye Yunfei, this beautiful woman's face changed color.
This beautiful woman was precisely Zhu Ziyan!
She was sitting together with a group of Zhu Family youths.
"Hey!
Why are you here!
You should leave here immediately!
This place is an important site of Tianliang Sacred Land, and Mao Xiaohao is searching everywhere for you, wanting to kill you to avenge his master. It's too dangerous for you here; you must leave right away!"
In her anxious state, Zhu Ziyan immediately sent a Sound Transmission to Ye Yunfei.
Upon receiving her transmission, Ye Yunfei turned his head to look.
"I'm over here!"
Seizing a moment when no one around her was paying attention, Zhu Ziyan gave Ye Yunfei a discreet wave.
Seeing Zhu Ziyan, Ye Yunfei smiled faintly. Then, paying no further heed to her, he shifted his gaze to the central high platform, waiting for Mao Xiaohao to appear.
"Hey!
Did you hear me talking to you or not!
You'd better leave here immediately!
This place is too dangerous for you!"
Seeing that Ye Yunfei paid her no mind, Zhu Ziyan grew a bit angry and sent another Sound Transmission.
"Thanks for your concern.
I'm here to take care of some matters. I'll leave naturally after I've finished.
You don't need to worry on my account," Ye Yunfei replied.
After all, she meant well.
"You...
This is Tianliang Sacred Land's territory! What could you possibly be here to take care of!
The forces of Tianliang Sacred Land have been searching for you all over Tianxiong Domain these past days.
Now here you are, delivering yourself to their doorstep!"
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Zhu Ziyan stomped her foot in frustration.
But Ye Yunfei paid her no further mind.
"That guy simply can't tell a friend from a foe!
I can't be bothered with you!"
Zhu Ziyan said angrily.
"Hahaha...
Esteemed guests, welcome to Tianliang City for this gathering!"
Just at this moment, a purple-robed man stepped through the air to approach, his entire body emitting dazzling violet radiance, as if he were a human-shaped piece of purple jade, appearing extremely mystical.
Two elders followed close by him, resembling old servants.
"Mao Xiaohao has arrived!"
Someone exclaimed softly.
Everyone's gaze turned towards Mao Xiaohao.
"Worthy of being one of the strongest young geniuses in our Tianxiong Domain, truly possessing an aura of greatness!"
The crowd praised him one after another.
"Esteemed friends, I believe everyone already knows, the energy and laws of our world have suddenly elevated! A grand martial arts age is about to unfold, and us, the younger generation, will undoubtedly be the protagonists of this martial arts golden age!
From here on, we young geniuses will step onto this era's stage, compete with brilliance, and shine with our own most dazzling light!"
Mao Xiaohao descended onto the central high platform, his gaze sweeping across the crowd as he declared in an impassioned tone, stirring the blood of many young geniuses.
One must know that the young people gathered here today were all of some repute, each holding themselves in high regard. Recently, with the Heaven and Earth Mutation, these young geniuses had all made progress, filling them with even more passion.
"Senior Brother Mao is absolutely right, a grand Golden Age belonging to us young geniuses is about to arrive!
Our generation should charge forward courageously and radiate our own brilliance!"
Many young people shouted in agreement.
"It really is the Origin Dao Physique.
But that's all it is. Nothing to get excited about.
To have a character like this clamoring to kill me, he's simply not qualified," Ye Yunfei coldly sneered, sensing Mao Xiaohao's aura from afar.
