"They're all Half-Emperors!" the Sect Leader stated grimly.
All Half-Emperors!
Upon hearing the Sect Leader's words, all the members of the Golden Crow Sect were greatly alarmed.
Ten Half-Emperor experts!
This was terrifying!
"Gentlemen, who exactly are you people? I don't believe we've met. Why have you barged into our Golden Crow Sect headquarters and attacked Elder Jia? Could there possibly be some misunderstanding?" the Sect Leader asked, his voice low.
Faced with ten Half-Emperor experts, the Golden Crow Sect Leader understood that it was best not to start a fight. Once battle broke out, the Golden Crow Sect might not have the upper hand.
"Don't ask why. We are merely acting on orders," one Half-Emperor expert said coldly.
"Acting on orders?" The Golden Crow Sect Leader and the other high-ranking members gasped.
These ten Half-Emperor experts were actually taking orders from someone? Who could command ten Half-Emperor experts at once? Anyone capable of ordering ten Half-Emperors must have an astonishing background!
"May I ask, whose orders are you following to come to our Golden Crow Sect?" the Sect Leader inquired again.
"Wait a while. You'll know soon enough," that Half-Emperor expert replied indifferently.
"You..." The Golden Crow Sect Leader was starting to get angry. This was the Golden Crow Sect headquarters, and he was the esteemed Sect Leader. Yet someone dared speak to him like this.
"Enough! This is the Golden Crow Sect headquarters, not a place for you to run wild! Answer our Sect Leader's questions immediately!" one of the Golden Crow Sect's elders erupted in anger, sharply rebuking them.
"Not convinced? If you're not convinced, then come fight," a Half-Emperor expert sneered.
"You..." That Golden Crow Sect elder trembled with rage. Vast energies erupted from his body, shaking the surrounding space and creating a dark, shadowy spatial crack.
However, this elder did not immediately attack. Facing ten Half-Emperors, one couldn't just start a fight on a whim. He understood that once a battle commenced, regardless of victory or defeat, the Golden Crow Sect would pay a heavy price. If they lost, the consequences would be even more severe!
"Elder Xie, exercise restraint! You understand the current situation!" The Sect Leader immediately sent a private mental message to dissuade the elder, fearing he might act impulsively.
"Hehehe..." Sneering laughter came from the ten Half-Emperor experts opposite.
What were ten Half-Emperor experts? They all knew that the second floor of the Heavenly Dao Tower was imprisoning a full one hundred Half-Emperor experts. Wiping out this Golden Crow Sect would be an easy task for them.
"Gentlemen, our Golden Crow Sect does not wish for conflict. Please release Elder Jia and leave our headquarters! Our sect will offer each of you a generous reward! Furthermore, we can throw a grand banquet to welcome you, turn swords into plowshares, and make peace! What do you think?" The Sect Leader thought for a moment before speaking, his attitude appearing quite sincere.
"No need to try and win us over. It's useless. We are merely acting on orders. Whatever you say to us is pointless," another Half-Emperor expert stated coldly at this point.
"You..." The Sect Leader seethed with fury.
The other high-ranking members of the Golden Crow Sect were also inwardly seething with rage.
The Golden Crow Sect was one of the top forces on the Feixian Continent, always holding itself above others. These sect elders were usually figures who could make the Feixian Continent tremble by merely stomping their feet. Yet now, facing these ten Half-Emperor experts, they felt utterly humiliated. The other side gave them zero face!
"Gentlemen, we've been as polite as we can be. Please do not push us too far! Know when to stop! Otherwise, although you are all quite powerful, our Golden Crow Sect is not to be trifled with. Moreover, this is our headquarters. If a real fight breaks out, you might not come out on top!" A Golden Crow Sect elder finally couldn't hold back. His sharp gaze fixed on the ten Half-Emperor experts as he slowly spoke.
"Not convinced? If you're not convinced, then fight. Holding it in must be tough," a Half-Emperor expert said flatly.
"You're going too far!" That Golden Crow Sect elder flared with rage, bellowing angrily.
The Half-Emperor expert who had just spoken didn't reply further. He simply extended a finger and beckoned towards the Golden Crow Sect elder, the gesture brimming with provocation.
"Sect Leader, let's attack! They are simply too much to bear!" This Golden Crow Sect elder was at the end of his rope, on the verge of erupting.
"Gentlemen, may I ask where the person behind you is at the moment?" The Sect Leader pondered before asking.
"He's right here. You might get to see him very soon," a Half-Emperor expert said.
"What? Right here? He's also barged into our headquarters? Where is he?" Upon hearing this, the Sect Leader and the other high-ranking members were startled. The Sect Leader immediately asked.
"I'm right here." At that moment, a voice came from within the Heavenly Sun Tower.
Instantly, everyone's gaze turned towards it.
They saw a young man slowly walking out from the Heavenly Sun Tower.
It was none other than Ye Yunfei!
After a period of fierce struggle within the Magma Sea beneath the tower, Ye Yunfei had finally used his profound fire-controlling art to subdue the Heavenly Sun Flame!
That Heavenly Sun Flame was extremely powerful. However, Ye Yunfei was aided by four different exotic fires, possessed a high-level fire-control technique, and had rich experience subduing exotic fires from his previous life. In the end, he managed to subdue it.
"I've finally gathered five different exotic fires and can cultivate the Profound Fire Art!" Ye Yunfei felt somewhat excited.
In his previous life, Ye Yunfei had also cultivated the Profound Fire Art. Its power was immense, serving as one of his trump cards against enemies! Therefore, in this life, Ye Yunfei had consciously sought out exotic fires everywhere, precisely to re-cultivate the Profound Fire Art. To cultivate it, one needed to collect at least five different exotic fires.
As Ye Yunfei walked out from the entrance of the Heavenly Sun Tower's first floor, everyone's eyes focused on him.
"Young man, you look familiar... Who are you..." Seeing Ye Yunfei, the Golden Crow Sect Leader felt a sense of familiarity and couldn't help but ask.
"Sect Leader! He's Ye Yunfei! The Ye Yunfei whom the Heavenly Emperor Decree wants hunted! To think he'd actually come to our Golden Crow Sect headquarters!" Before the Sect Leader could recognize him, an elder beside him pointed at Ye Yunfei and shouted loudly.
"Heavenly Emperor Decree? Hunting me?" Hearing this, Ye Yunfei was taken aback for a moment.
Naturally, Ye Yunfei knew what the Heavenly Emperor Decree was—it was a command issued by a Heavenly Emperor to the world. All realms and races would abide by it and act according to the decree.
"It seems this is yet another good deed of the Three Great Heavenly Emperors. To deal with me, they actually issued a Heavenly Emperor Decree." Ye Yunfei immediately understood that the decree hunting him was definitely issued by the Three Great Heavenly Emperors.
