At the sound of the voice inside the room, the door automatically opened.
Ye Yunfei and the slave walked in.
"This fellow seems a bit wary," Hun Lao suddenly transmitted his voice to Ye Yunfei.
"The perception ability of a Heavenly Boundary Realm Perfection expert isn't weak; he can easily pick up on various subtle details. It's possible he's become suspicious, but it doesn't matter," Ye Yunfei replied.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei and the slave had already entered the room. On the floor in the center of the room was a meditation cushion, and a white-haired elder sat cross-legged upon it, his sharp gaze fixed on Ye Yunfei and his companion.
This elder was the Branch Pavilion Lord's master, an ordinary Elder of the Sword Emperor Pavilion who specialized in overseeing the library.
Although his strength was only at the Heavenly Boundary Realm Perfection level, due to his advanced age and high seniority, even the Half-Emperor experts within the Sword Emperor Pavilion treated him with some respect.
"Who are you? How come I've never seen you before?" Suddenly, the elder's gaze locked onto Ye Yunfei as he shouted a stern question.
Boom!...
A vast wave of energy pressure crushed towards Ye Yunfei.
"I've come from the Tianxiong Domain; I'm an old acquaintance of your disciple," Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
"An old acquaintance of my disciple?" The elder was taken aback.
Right at this moment.
Ye Yunfei suddenly unleashed his Time Reversal Art. The powerful Time Energy and laws instantly sealed everything in the room.
"Brat, just who are you?! What do you think you're doing?!" the elder cried out, his face going pale with shock.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Suddenly, five golden figures flickered as the five Celestial Gold Race Elders appeared beside the elder and immediately took action.
The five Elders jointly released their energy pressure, suppressing the elder, who was already frozen in place by the Time Reversal Art. Now under the pressure of five Half-Emperor experts, he couldn't move in the slightest, completely robbed of any ability to resist.
The Great Elder directly made his move and sealed this elder.
The next instant, Ye Yunfei teleported the elder into the Phantom Tower. Then, Ye Yunfei and the five Elders all returned to the Phantom Tower as well.
The entire process was lightning fast!
Just one second!
Ye Yunfei had the five Celestial Gold Race Elders come out to help precisely to ensure he could subdue and seal this elder within the shortest possible time.
After all, this was the headquarters of the Sword Emperor Pavilion; if the commotion were even slightly larger, it would easily draw attention.
Inside the Phantom Tower.
"Now you master and disciple can be reunited," Ye Yunfei said, tossing the elder onto the ground in front of the Branch Pavilion Lord, a faint smile on his lips.
"Master!" The Branch Pavilion Lord, who had been harboring expectations of his master dealing with Ye Yunfei so that he could be saved, was utterly devastated to see that his master was also captured by Ye Yunfei. His soaring hopes were instantly crushed, plunging him into despondency and despair.
"How are you here?! So you've been caught too?! Ah, I understand! Brat, you are Ye Yunfei! You're the one who destroyed our Sword Emperor Pavilion branch in the Tianxiong Domain! These past couple of days, you've appeared near our headquarters and destroyed three or four cities! Elder Zeng must have been killed by you too! Ye Yunfei, I can't believe you actually infiltrated our headquarters!" Upon seeing the Branch Pavilion Lord, the elder suddenly understood: this unfamiliar youth before him had to be Ye Yunfei. Filled with shock and fury, he cried out.
"That's right, I am indeed Ye Yunfei," Ye Yunfei smiled.
"What?! Ye Yunfei, you... you destroyed three or four cities near our headquarters and killed Elder Zeng?" Upon hearing his master's words, the Branch Pavilion Lord was stunned speechless.
"Master, Elder Zeng is a Half-Emperor expert! How could Ye Yunfei possibly kill Elder Zeng?" the Branch Pavilion Lord asked.
"Elder Zeng has indeed fallen, and it was definitely Ye Yunfei who did it," the elder said with a sigh.
Originally, he too believed that a Half-Emperor expert like Elder Zeng could not be killed by a junior brat; it was more likely he was slain by one of the Sword Emperor Pavilion's other formidable enemies. However, having just witnessed with his own eyes the five Half-Emperor experts beside Ye Yunfei, he now understood that Elder Zeng must have been killed by Ye Yunfei—to be precise, by the five Half-Emperor experts by Ye Yunfei's side!
"Ye Yunfei, our Sword Emperor Pavilion shouldn't have provoked you," the elder said, looking at Ye Yunfei with a complicated gaze, unable to hold back a sigh.
Although Ye Yunfei was just a junior, he had five Half-Emperor experts by his side—this was an utterly terrifying force!
While the Sword Emperor Pavilion was indeed one of the top powers on the Feixian Continent, provoking five Half-Emperor experts meant that even if they ultimately won, the losses would be severe!
If they had known Ye Yunfei was accompanied by five Half-Emperor experts, the Sword Emperor Pavilion would never have made an enemy of him, or at the very least, they wouldn't have openly opposed him.
"Good that you realize it. For provoking me, your Sword Emperor Pavilion will pay the price in blood," Ye Yunfei said with a cold sneer, understanding what was going through the elder's mind.
"Alright, now tell me the specific location of the Sword Grave. It's in your best interest to cooperate obediently. Otherwise, you will experience a torment you'll never forget," Ye Yunfei gazed at the elder and spoke indifferently.
"The location of the Sword Grave? Ye Yunfei, why are you asking about the Sword Grave? That is a secret of our Sword Emperor Pavilion; I cannot tell you," the elder replied after a moment's pause.
"Fine then. Let's start by giving you a taste of what pain feels like," Ye Yunfei smiled, taking out a black poison pill.
"Master, tell him. Those poison pills cause immense pain to both the physical body and the Soul Body," the Branch Pavilion Lord couldn't bear the thought of his master being tortured and couldn't help but speak up.
"Shut your mouth! How can we reveal the secrets of our Sword Emperor Pavilion to an outsider!" the elder snapped.
The Branch Pavilion Lord sighed lightly, knowing persuasion was useless.
Aaaahhhh...!
Very soon, the elder's agonized screams began echoing. His physical body and Soul Body were simultaneously enduring immense torment, driving him to the brink of agony, rolling and writhing on the floor.
Standing nearby, the Branch Pavilion Lord watched his master's intense suffering with utmost anxiety.
"Ye Yunfei, let me bear this in place of my master," the Branch Pavilion Lord couldn't help but say to Ye Yunfei.
"Out of respect for your filial devotion, as long as your master willingly tells me the specific location of the Sword Grave, I will spare both master and disciple in the end. If you want to live, convince him to speak," Ye Yunfei said coolly.
"Brat, what do you plan to do next?" Hun Lao suddenly asked.
"Find out exactly where the members of the Mao Clan are being held, then take action to rescue them and cause a huge commotion. If we can destroy the Sword Emperor Pavilion, that would be perfect. Even if we can't wipe them out completely, we'll cripple them severely," Ye Yunfei thought for a moment before speaking coldly.
"The Sword Emperor Pavilion will soon regret why they ever provoked you," Hun Lao chuckled.
