Boom!
Lei Lingzi and that Shadow Beast King collided violently.
Both sides retreated over a dozen steps, surprisingly equally matched.
“Everyone, be careful! These Shadow Beast Kings aren’t easy to deal with!”
Lei Lingzi shouted.
The others were all thoroughly shocked. After all, Lei Lingzi was a famous powerhouse among the younger generation of the Eastern Region. Even he could only fight a Shadow Beast King to a draw. It showed just how strong these Shadow Beast Kings were.
“Let’s attack together! If we combine our strength, we can defeat them! It’s only a dozen Shadow Beast Kings, what’s there to fear!” Luo Qingwu said loudly.
However, the moment her words fell…
Roar! Roar! Roar…
From the peak of the mountain, from within the Tianying Hall, dozens more Shadow Beast Kings charged out. Every single one exuded a savage aura, their roars shaking the heavens.
At this, everyone was rather dumbstruck.
A dozen Shadow Beast Kings, they could still handle. But now, dozens more had appeared all at once. This was far too difficult to deal with!
For a moment, everyone retreated. No one dared to continue the assault up the mountain.
Faced with so many Shadow Beast Kings, even those young geniuses had no confidence in overcoming them, let alone the other martial artists.
“Master, with so many Shadow Beast Kings guarding the Tianying Hall, getting inside is going to be extremely difficult,” Hu Miao frowned, speaking to Ye Yunfei.
“It is indeed difficult,” Ye Yunfei nodded.
“A direct assault won’t work. We’ll have to rely on strategy,” Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and said.
“Strategy? How?” Hu Miao was taken aback.
“First, find a secluded spot.”
Ye Yunfei led Hu Miao to a nearby mountain forest, found a clearing, and sat down cross-legged.
“Guard me,” Ye Yunfei said to Hu Miao. Then, he released his Soul Power, sending his perception towards the Tianying Hall on the mountain peak.
Soul Power could ignore all physical obstacles and moved with extreme speed. Almost instantly, Ye Yunfei’s Soul Power arrived before the gate of the Tianying Hall.
Two copper doors stood tightly shut, rusted and mottled, filled with the ancient aura of passing ages.
Ye Yunfei’s Soul Power examined the doors and was just about to pass through them to enter the main hall when suddenly—
“Who is spying here!”
A stern shout rang out from within the hall.
Then, a powerful surge of Soul Power came rushing head-on, forcing Ye Yunfei’s Soul Power to a halt.Following this, a tall, imposing figure appeared before Ye Yunfei’s Soul Power.
This figure gave off a feeling of grandeur, like a great mountain. It released a world-shaking, unparalleled momentum. Its body was enveloped in countless layers of hazy, mysterious runes, so densely packed they obscured its true appearance.
“Tianying Wang’s remnant soul is indeed still here. That makes things easier,” Ye Yunfei couldn’t help but feel overjoyed upon seeing this figure.
“It seems you should be Tianying Wang,” Ye Yunfei’s Soul Power condensed into a fist-sized figure, its features identical to Ye Yunfei’s main body, and spoke.
“Huh? You… How is this possible! Who exactly are you?”
Two beams of sharp light shot from the figure’s eyes, staring intently at Ye Yunfei’s Soul Power. It appeared greatly astonished.
“Truly unexpected. Tianying Wang, once renowned throughout the Three Thousand Worlds, is now merely a wisp of a remnant soul,” Ye Yunfei looked at the Tianying Wang before him and sighed softly.
“That’s right. I am Tianying Wang.”
After a moment of silence, the tall figure finally nodded in acknowledgment.
“Who are you? Why is there a trace of a Heavenly Emperor’s aura about you?” Tianying Wang stared at Ye Yunfei and asked.
“My origins are something you need not ask. I came here mainly to retrieve the Tianying Robe, the Overlord Bow, and the Phantom Tower,” Ye Yunfei stated.
“Impossible! These three are secret treasures of our Tianying Clan! How could they fall into the hands of an outsider!” Tianying Wang was enraged upon hearing this.
“The Tianying Clan has already been wiped out. What use is there in you holding onto these three treasures? Better to give them to me, and we can count it as establishing a favorable connection,” Ye Yunfei replied.
“No need for more talk. You may leave.” Tianying Wang waved impatiently and turned to depart.
“Don’t you, the Tianying Clan, desire revenge?” Ye Yunfei suddenly said.
Hearing Ye Yunfei’s words, Tianying Wang suddenly halted his steps, turned back, and fixed his gaze on Ye Yunfei.
“Give me those three treasures, and I might consider avenging your Tianying Clan in the future,” Ye Yunfei said plainly.
“You? The force that exterminated my Tianying Clan must be one of the world’s top-tier powers. On what basis do you have the confidence to make such a boast?” Tianying Wang’s gaze bore into Ye Yunfei.
“Let me put it this way. Among all the realms and worlds, there isn’t a single power I cannot deal with. Though I am temporarily weak at present, in the future, I will inevitably ascend to the world’s highest peak.”
Ye Yunfei’s words revealed immense confidence.
“Just who are you? You are definitely no ordinary person,” Tianying Wang questioned.
Ye Yunfei remained silent.
“Your main body should come up here. Then we can talk further.”
Tianying Wang suddenly suggested.
“Fine.”
Ye Yunfei nodded.
Within the mountain forest near the peak, Ye Yunfei suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes.
“Let’s go. We’re going up to the Tianying Hall.”
Ye Yunfei stood up and said to Hu Miao.
Then, Ye Yunfei strode towards the mountain peak where the Tianying Hall stood.
“Go up to the Tianying Hall?” Hu Miao was stunned.
With so many Shadow Beasts guarding it, going up to the Tianying Hall was by no means an easy task.
“Don’t worry. Just follow me.”
Ye Yunfei said.
“Alright.”
Hu Miao nodded. Of course, she trusted Ye Yunfei completely. After all, she knew his true origins!
At this moment.
A large group of martial artists were facing off against the Shadow Beasts around the peak. However, no one dared to easily launch an attack.
On that mountain peak were dozens of terrifyingly powerful Shadow Beast Kings and a frighteningly large number of ordinary Shadow Beasts.
Even those young geniuses from major sects and clans didn’t dare to casually charge up the mountain.
Currently, those young geniuses were discussing countermeasures.
“The only way to enter the Tianying Hall is to assemble a large number of people and launch a forceful assault. Now, everyone send messages, summon everyone you can call. The more, the better!”
After some deliberation, a decision was finally made. Chen Fan spoke loudly.
“The Tianying Small World was discovered a hundred years ago. It opens every ten years. But this Tianying Hall has remained unbreachable until now. This time, we must unite in spirit and cooperation, to strive to break into the Tianying Hall! If we succeed, it will definitely cause a sensation. Then everyone will gain honor!” Lei Lingzi’s gaze fixed on the Tianying Hall atop the peak as he announced loudly.
“Good! Call them!”
The others nodded, each taking out Sound Transmission Jade Slips to begin sending messages.
With each transmission sent out, martial artists scattered throughout the entire Tianying Small World began rushing towards the location of the Tianying Hall.
Regarding the Tianying Small World, a legend had always persisted. It was said that most of the Tianying Clan’s wealth was hidden within the Tianying Hall. However, the Hall was guarded by a vast number of Shadow Beasts. Entering it was extremely difficult.
Thus, although the Tianying Small World had been opened many times, until now, no one had ever managed to enter the Tianying Hall!
This time, those young geniuses from major sects and clans seemed determined to break into the Tianying Hall!
At this moment, Ye Yunfei, leading Hu Miao, had already arrived at the foot of the mountain and was walking swiftly up towards the peak.
“Huh? What are those two doing?”
Finally, someone noticed Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao’s actions and cried out in alarm.
Immediately, all gazes shifted over, focusing on Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao.
