"Young Master Ye, are you talking about the Sword Emperor Pavilion?"
Upon hearing this, the Zhu Family's Third Elder's expression shifted.
"Yes. So, if your Zhu Family doesn't want trouble, keep your distance from me."
Ye Yunfei replied casually.
"This..."
The Third Elder's face darkened, uncertain.
Some time ago, Ye Yunfei and Xuanlong Daozhang wiped out the Tianliang Sacred Land and the Sword Emperor Pavilion in one fell swoop, creating a massive impact. This made every major and minor force in the entire Tianxiong Domain hold Ye Yunfei and Xuanlong Daozhang in extreme awe. As a result, for a time, all forces were solely focused on how to fawn over and please Ye Yunfei and Xuanlong Daozhang.
They had somewhat overlooked the Sword Emperor Pavilion.
Now, reminded by Ye Yunfei, cold sweat immediately drenched the Third Elder's body.
'Oh no! I almost forgot that the Sword Emperor Pavilion in Tianxiong Domain is just a branch! The Sword Emperor Pavilion is a terrifying force renowned throughout the Feixian Continent! Now that the branch in Tianxiong Domain has been destroyed, the Sword Emperor Pavilion will definitely seek revenge!'
The Third Elder weighed the matter in his heart.
"In that case, we'll take our leave first."
After hesitating for a moment, the Third Elder finally made a decision. He felt that it wasn't suitable for the Zhu Family to get too close to Ye Yunfei and Xuanlong Daozhang now. Otherwise, when the Sword Emperor Pavilion retaliated, they would likely implicate the Zhu Family.
Soon, the Third Elder forcefully led Zhu Keqi and Zhu Ziyan away in a hurry.
"Young friend, I didn't realize you had quite a conscience, unwilling to implicate the Zhu Family,"
Xuanlong Daozhang said with a smile.
"I don't want to implicate *them*. The Zhu Family itself is irrelevant to me,"
Ye Yunfei said indifferently.
If not for Zhu Keqi and Zhu Ziyan, Ye Yunfei wouldn't have cared about the Zhu Family at all.
One day later, the major forces in Tianxiong Domain that had previously provoked Ye Yunfei and Xuanlong Daozhang sent envoys with a large batch of valuables. The quantity and quality were both considerable.
"We hope Young Master Ye is satisfied?"
After handing the goods to Ye Yunfei, the envoys from these major forces asked cautiously, fearing that Ye Yunfei might be displeased and seek trouble with them later.
"We'll let it slide this time.
But if you dare provoke us again, there will be no mercy,"
Ye Yunfei said, accepting the valuables from the envoys. He then waved his hand dismissively, signaling them to leave.
"Young friend, what are your plans now?"
Xuanlong Daozhang asked Ye Yunfei.
"Next, the Sword Emperor Pavilion headquarters will definitely send people to deal with us. We need to be prepared,"
Ye Yunfei replied after some thought.
"Let them come. I'm not afraid of them."
Xuanlong Daozhang answered.
"No.
The Sword Emperor Pavilion's strength is not weak. They are a great sect with profound heritage on the Feixian Continent.
They possess a large number of Heavenly Boundary Realm experts and are said to have several Half-Emperors.
This time, they'll definitely send Heavenly Boundary Realm experts to deal with us."
Ye Yunfei shook his head.
Ye Yunfei knew that Heavenly Boundary Realm and Half-Emperor experts were no simple opponents.
Beyond the Heavenly Boundary Realm was Half-Emperor, and beyond that was Heavenly Emperor.
The closer one got to the realm of Heavenly Emperor, the more terrifying it was.
"Fight if we can win, run if we can't.
I'm not afraid of the Sword Emperor Pavilion anyway."
Xuanlong Daozhang had always been a character who feared neither heaven nor earth.
"I'm afraid you might not even get a chance to run."
At that moment, a cold snort sounded from afar. Then, four brilliant sword radiances came surging from different directions toward the location of the green flying boat.
Upon each sword radiance stood an expert whose body erupted with sword auras. They instantly arrived around the green flying boat, encircling it completely.
The Sword Emperor Pavilion had arrived!
All four were Heavenly Boundary Realm experts!
And all of them were swordsmen!
*Whish! Whish!...*
Following that, sharp sword auras pierced through the sky, rolling in wave after wave.
Another large group of Sword Emperor Pavilion forces arrived, tightly surrounding the green flying boat.
For the past two days, the green flying boat had remained here.
The envoys from the major forces had just delivered the valuables and had not been gone long.
Who could have imagined that these Sword Emperor Pavilion forces would catch wind of their location and arrive.
"Was our Sword Emperor Pavilion branch in Tianxiong Domain destroyed by you two?"
An old man with eyes as sharp as blades stared at Ye Yunfei and Xuanlong Daozhang. He asked in a cold, haughty tone, looking down from a high vantage.
"That's right, we two wiped it out."
Xuanlong Daozhang took a step forward, placing himself protectively in front of Ye Yunfei, and answered loudly.
As for Cai Feng, Ye Yunfei had teleported her into the Phantom Tower the moment they appeared.
Cai Feng was only an avatar. She was from the same era as Xuanlong Daozhang. Back when Xuanlong Daozhang had buried his physical body underground, she had also found a place to bury her true body.
"Regardless of your backgrounds, daring to provoke our Sword Emperor Pavilion is a dead end.
And it's not just you. Our Sword Emperor Pavilion will thoroughly investigate your origins. All forces, sects, families, relatives, and friends connected to you will be implicated and exterminated to the last.
That is the consequence of provoking our Sword Emperor Pavilion."
The old man spoke in an icy voice.
"Haha, quite the overbearing Sword Emperor Pavilion.
I, your father, destroyed your branch in Tianxiong Domain. Come on, come and kill me!"
Xuanlong Daozhang laughed heartily.
"Let's attack. There's nothing to discuss with these ant-like characters."
Another Sword Emperor Pavilion Heavenly Boundary Realm expert said coldly.
Since their arrival, these four Heavenly Boundary Realm experts from the Sword Emperor Pavilion had looked upon Ye Yunfei and Xuanlong Daozhang with disdain.
The Sword Emperor Pavilion was one of the renowned superpowers on the Feixian Continent. Although these four Heavenly Boundary Realm experts held only the status of deacons within the Sword Emperor Pavilion, they possessed a sense of natural superiority when facing beings from other forces on the Feixian Continent.
"Ant-like characters?
Three early-stage Heavenly Boundary Realms and one mid-stage Heavenly Boundary Realm—what's so great about you to look down on us with that attitude?
Pah!"
Xuanlong Daozhang was furious.
*Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!*
Four longswords were simultaneously unsheathed, radiating layer upon layer of sword auras, charging towards Ye Yunfei and Xuanlong Daozhang like a raging tide.
These four truly deserved to be Sword Emperor Pavilion experts. With their first move, they filled this entire space with terrifying, sharp sword auras, slicing open dark space fissures.
Generally speaking, sword cultivators possessed the strongest offensive power among beings of the same realm!
*Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!*
Xuanlong Daozhang brandished his whisk, simultaneously blocking all four swords. The impact sent him staggering back four steps, and his expression changed slightly.
"Senior, be careful. Although their realm isn't higher than yours, their sword path cultivation is extremely profound. Their combat prowess is strong,"
Ye Yunfei reminded him.
The four Sword Emperor Pavilion experts swung their longswords again, pressing the attack.
*Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!*
Four dazzling, brilliant sword rays tore through the sky, slashing separately towards Ye Yunfei and Xuanlong Daozhang.
"Senior, I'll handle two!"
Ye Yunfei said to Xuanlong Daozhang.
The King of the Netherworld appeared, gripping the Netherworld Yin Blade, and swung it down.
Simultaneously, Ye Yunfei also drew his Half-Emperor longsword, unleashing the One Sword to Pacify the World sword will in a powerful strike.
