"Pavilion Master, if this continues, our Sword Emperor Pavilion's elites will be completely wiped out by that brat."
Suddenly, a Sword Emperor Pavilion Elder calmed down and sent a sound transmission to the Pavilion Master.
Upon hearing this, the Pavilion Master froze, his face turning extremely ugly. Although unwilling to admit it, he understood the Elder was speaking the truth.
Because Ye Yunfei was swiftly dismantling one Sword Formation after another, an unstoppable force sweeping all before him!
Every member participating in those Sword Formations was an elite. The weaker members of Sword Emperor Pavilion simply weren't qualified for such intense combat.
"What a pity both Supreme Elders are in seclusion, attempting a breakthrough to the Heavenly Heavenly Emperor Realm. Otherwise, our Sword Emperor Pavilion would surely be able to slaughter every invader today!"
The Pavilion Master glanced over the battlefield and couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Pass down the order! Everyone is to retreat into the Sword Realm at maximum speed!"
He then gave this command without the slightest hesitation.
Receiving the Pavilion Master's command, all members of Sword Emperor Pavilion were momentarily stunned, then began turning and retreating towards the direction of the Sword Realm.
The so-called Sword Realm was a Small World within the headquarters of Sword Emperor Pavilion.
This Small World was the most crucial place at the headquarters, the site of the Pavilion's ancestral shrine where the successive generations of ancestors were honored.
Moreover, this Small World was filled with terrifying sword path energies and laws, arrayed with numerous ancient sword formations passed down through antiquity, possessing formidable defensive power.
The five Sword Emperor Pavilion Half-Emperors also began retreating while continuing their fight.
"Where do you think you're escaping!"
The five Celestial Gold Race Elders gave close pursuit.
Ye Yunfei also sped up his attacks, consecutively breaking three more Sword Formations.
Finally, the five Sword Emperor Pavilion Half-Emperor experts and their members gathered together, adopting a defensive posture, retreating collectively in one direction.
Most of the attacks from Ye Yunfei and the five Celestial Gold Race Elders were blocked by those five Half-Emperor experts.
Finally, the five Sword Emperor Pavilion Half-Emperors directly integrated themselves into five of the Sword Formations, becoming part of the formations themselves. Even though Ye Yunfei knew the weaknesses and flaws of these formations, dismantling them now became momentarily difficult.
Thus, moments later, all members of Sword Emperor Pavilion retreated to the front of a temple.
The temple appeared physically small, yet it radiated dazzling sword light. On its plaque were carved two large characters: Sword Shrine.
This Sword Shrine was the entry point to the Sword Realm!
"All into the Sword Shrine!"
The Pavilion Master roared.
Members of Sword Emperor Pavilion rushed into the Sword Shrine helter-skelter.
Boom...
A surge of spacetime transmission energy emanated from within the Sword Shrine.
"Young Master Ye, it appears there is an entrance to a Small World inside this temple,"
The Celestial Gold Race Great Elder said to Ye Yunfei.
"Yes,"
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Ye Yunfei! And you five fellows! You just wait! We remember today's enmity! Our Sword Realm will settle this score with you someday!"
The Pavilion Master looked back, glaring venomously at Ye Yunfei and the five Elders, grinding his teeth as he spoke.
Finishing, the Pavilion Master charged into the Sword Shrine.
"Let's go in and take a look,"
Ye Yunfei said, then walked toward the shrine's entrance.
Rumble...
More than ten formations materialized simultaneously, each emitting densely packed sword beams.
"Five Seniors, attack these formations according to my instructions. We'll force our way in,"
Ye Yunfei said to the five Elders.
The next moment, Ye Yunfei pointed to several positions. The five Elders attacked simultaneously, unleashing powerful blows that forcibly broke all over ten formations in moments.
Ye Yunfei and the five Elders charged inside the Sword Shrine, immediately spotting a Teleportation Altar in its central position.
Clearly, this Teleportation Altar was the entrance to the Small World.
"Young Master Ye, let's pursue them! Seize this chance to wipe out Sword Emperor Pavilion!"
The Great Elder urged.
All five Celestial Gold Race Elders were eager to fight.
"I've always had a talent for researching altars. I'll activate it!"
The Third Elder strode toward the Teleportation Altar.
However, just as the Third Elder was about to get close, Ye Yunfei's expression abruptly changed.
"Third Elder, stop! Danger!"
Ye Yunfei immediately shouted.
Hum!
As Ye Yunfei's voice fell, the phantom of a long sword materialized from within the Teleportation Altar, releasing an aura that sent shivers down their spines.
Faced with this sword phantom, the five Celestial Gold Race Elders felt a deep chill engulf their entire bodies, as if falling into a ten-thousand-year ice cave.
"There is energy of a Heavenly Emperor on that sword. Do not approach,"
Ye Yunfei's expression turned solemn as he spoke gravely.
Heavenly Emperor energy!
Upon hearing this, the faces of the five Celestial Gold Race Elders all changed dramatically, and they involuntarily took several steps back.
"Haha... Ye Yunfei, you've got some eyes!
This Teleportation Altar was personally laid down by Sword Emperor Pavilion's founding Ancestral Master. It contains a sword Qi left by his hand. Any outsider attempting to forcibly break through this altar will be killed without mercy.
Even a Half-Emperor expert can be annihilated in an instant!"
The Pavilion Master's voice emanated from within the Teleportation Altar.
"Your Sword Emperor Pavilion's founding Ancestral Master indeed was a Heavenly Emperor,"
Ye Yunfei said coldly.
"Of course! Our Sword Emperor Pavilion is a proper tradition of Emperor's Dao! The depth of our foundation is beyond your imagination!
Ye Yunfei, you just wait! Crossing our Sword Emperor Pavilion will bring you no good end!"
The Pavilion Master's voice, dripping with resentment, sounded once more.
The august Sword Emperor Pavilion, a major power, had actually been forced to have its entire membership hide inside its ancestral Small World because of a single junior! If such a thing spread, Sword Emperor Pavilion would surely become a laughingstock across the entire Feixian Continent.
"I'll be waiting,"
Ye Yunfei said indifferently.
"Five Seniors, let's go,"
Ye Yunfei said after a moment's consideration.
Ye Yunfei understood they couldn't force their way through this Teleportation Altar, making it impossible to continue pursuing Sword Emperor Pavilion's forces.
There was no point waiting here any longer.
If he himself didn't leave, Sword Emperor Pavilion's forces certainly wouldn't emerge from the Small World.
So, Ye Yunfei and the five Celestial Gold Race Elders left the Sword Shrine.
Looking around, Sword Emperor Pavilion's headquarters was now completely empty.
Most of Sword Emperor Pavilion's elites had retreated into that Small World. Some of the weaker, less important members had long fled the headquarters to seek safety elsewhere.
"Everyone, come out. Search this Sword Emperor Pavilion headquarters for anything valuable. Take everything,"
Ye Yunfei summoned Hu Miao and the others, ordering them to ransack the headquarters.
He also summoned all the prisoners.
"What happened?
Why is no one here at Sword Emperor Pavilion headquarters?
Young Master, have you wiped out Sword Emperor Pavilion?"
Seeing the deserted headquarters, the prisoners were utterly shocked and couldn't help but ask Ye Yunfei cautiously.
"Not wiped out. Their forces have hidden inside a Small World.
Take this chance to flee quickly,"
Ye Yunfei said.
So that was it!
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the prisoners understood the situation.
However, thinking that Sword Emperor Pavilion's forces had actually been forced by this young man before them to collectively hide inside a Small World filled them with extreme awe.
This was simply unimaginable!
"Young Master, I sincerely wish to follow you and obey your commands from now on.
I have enmity with Sword Emperor Pavilion. Even if I escape Sword Emperor Pavilion today, they will surely seek me out later.
Young Master, other than throwing my lot with you, I have no other choice!
I beg for your approval!"
Suddenly, the old man in tattered clothing knelt before Ye Yunfei and spoke.
"Young Master, we are also willing to follow you!
Please take us in!"
Another group of prisoners also knelt, requesting to be taken under his wing.
