During the battle, the Blood Clan Clone continuously prowled through the battlefield, devouring bloodline essence everywhere. Most of the Golden Crow Sect's members had their bloodline essence consumed by the clone.
This included those Half-Emperor experts!
After devouring such a vast quantity of bloodline essence, the Blood Clan Clone's strength had increased at an astonishing rate!
The plasma covering its body surface boiled and churned ceaselessly, emanating an intimidatingly dangerous energy fluctuation.
"The combat prowess of this clone of yours is now roughly equivalent to an Initial Level Half-Emperor," Hun Lao remarked.
"Almost.
Even if it encountered an Intermediate Level Half-Emperor, it would have the power to fight.
It can be said that this Blood Clan Clone of mine would be considered a top-tier expert even within the Blood Clan itself!
The original owner of this body was definitely a top expert among the Blood Clan; the vessel is extremely high-grade!
And after following me and absorbing so much bloodline essence, its strength is no weaker, and likely even stronger, than when it was originally alive."
Ye Yunfei replied with a smile.
"If the Blood Clan ever finds out that you've refined the corpse of one of their top experts into a clone, they will certainly come looking for trouble," Hun Lao chuckled.
"Let them come. I'm not afraid.
The Blood Clan is considered an evil race within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, ostracized by the vast majority of races. So, under normal circumstances, the Blood Clan resides within the Blood Realm.
However, it's also common for Blood Clan experts to leave the Blood Realm and venture out into the world.
If I encounter the Blood Clan in the future and they dare make a move against me, I naturally won't be polite."
Ye Yunfei answered.
"Alright, everyone, come out. Let's search through this Golden Crow Sect headquarters and take away anything valuable," Ye Yunfei said, releasing Hu Miao, Golden Horned Dragon Silkworm, Huang Shang, Profound Dragon Taoist Master, Cai Feng, the green-robed elder, and other beings. They began combing through the sect's headquarters.
Ye Yunfei personally took action as well, first collecting all the wealth left behind by the Golden Crow Sect's higher-ups—primarily several hundred spatial rings.
Next, Ye Yunfei arrived at the secret chambers where the two Supreme Elders had been secluded, breaking through a series of high-level formations before entering. There, he acquired the life-long collections of the two Supreme Elders.
"Master, come quickly! Golden Horned Dragon Silkworm and I found a treasure vault!" Ye Yunfei had just stored the two elders' collections when he received Hu Miao's excited voice transmission.
Ye Yunfei immediately went deep into the Golden Crow Sect headquarters, to a hidden corner, drilling down underground. There lay an underground palace shrouded by multiple formations, from which dazzling treasure light emanated—clearly a treasure vault.
Ye Yunfei spent over half an hour breaking all the formations surrounding the vault, then entered with Hu Miao and Golden Horned Dragon Silkworm.
The vault was piled high with heaps of treasures: crystals, pills, herbs, magical artifacts, all kinds of rare materials from heaven and earth, various cultivation resources, and valuables of every description. It was all here.
The Golden Crow Sect, a prestigious major power on the Feixian Continent that had been operating for such a long stretch of time, naturally possessed an astonishing accumulation.
Now, it all fell into Ye Yunfei's hands.
"Wow! So many treasures!" Hu Miao cried, her eyes shining as she transformed into a little miser and lunged toward the piles.
Golden Horned Dragon Silkworm, showing no restraint whatsoever, headed straight for the pills and instantly gobbled up quite a few.
"Hold on, don't be hasty. Let me collect everything first. Once I sort it out, I'll distribute it according to your needs!" Ye Yunfei quickly rushed forward and began gathering the treasures in the vault.
Ye Yunfei knew the Dragon Silkworm's personality; if not stopped in time, it might devour all the pills in the entire vault.
One day later, all valuables within the Golden Crow Sect headquarters had been thoroughly stripped!
The entire accumulation of the Golden Crow Sect was now in Ye Yunfei's possession!
Ye Yunfei's wealth had grown by another huge leap!
It could be said that after arriving on the Feixian Continent, the total amount of cultivation resources and various treasures Ye Yunfei had obtained was truly staggering!
It absolutely surpassed the wealth owned by most major powers on the Feixian Continent!
In fact, this was precisely one of the main reasons Ye Yunfei had initially decided to leave the Hongmeng Continent for more advanced worlds.
The more advanced the world, the greater the cultivation resources and opportunities it could provide, and the better its heavenly and earthly environment.
"The Golden Crow Sect's ancestral temple seems to have disappeared," Profound Dragon Taoist Master suddenly came before Ye Yunfei and spoke.
"Oh? It disappeared?" Ye Yunfei immediately soared into the air, arriving at the location where the sect headquarters had been. There should have been a temple here, but now only an empty stretch of land remained.
The Golden Crow Sect's ancestral temple had indeed vanished!
"Also, the Golden Crow Sect's ancestral artifact is gone too!" Hun Lao said to Ye Yunfei.
"That's right," Ye Yunfei nodded.
During the earlier battle, when the sect's first Supreme Elder was killed, that golden feather had suddenly disappeared.
After the battle ended, Ye Yunfei had been searching for that feather, but never found it. Now, even the ancestral temple was gone.
"It seems this Golden Crow Sect headquarters harbored some secrets I was unaware of," Ye Yunfei stated.
Thus, Ye Yunfei released his Soul Power, sensing in all directions. In moments, his senses covered the entire former Golden Crow Sect headquarters for a detailed inspection.
However, even after sensing for half an hour, he discovered nothing.
Next, Ye Yunfei ascended again, using his movement technique to comb back and forth through the former sect grounds, but the result remained the same. He eventually gave up.
"Forget it. Let's go," Ye Yunfei took out the green Flying Boat, brought Hu Miao and the others onboard, then soared skyward and departed from the Golden Crow Sect headquarters.
Not long after, startling news spread across the Feixian Continent: the Golden Crow Sect had been exterminated, all personnel within its headquarters slaughtered, and even all their Half-Emperor experts, including two Supreme Elders, had fallen!
As the news spread, the entire Feixian Continent was thoroughly shaken.
One had to know that the Golden Crow Sect was a major power with a terrifyingly strong overall might, comparable to forces like the Sword Emperor Pavilion and the God of War Palace. They had dominated the Feixian Continent for a very long period. Yet, now, they were completely wiped out in a single day!
This was hard for many to believe.
Upon receiving the news, numerous forces immediately sent people to the Golden Crow Sect headquarters to investigate.
Thus, many beings cautiously entered the sect grounds, seeing the littered corpses and blood-soaked earth. Only then did they realize the news of the Golden Crow Sect's extermination was indeed true!
Soon after, the territory left behind by the Golden Crow Sect was carved up and distributed among other major powers on the Feixian Continent.
A major power that had once been famed and renowned throughout the Feixian Continent had just vanished, so suddenly!
But this was quite normal. Throughout the long history of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, who knew how many forces had suddenly risen to prominence, and how many had just as suddenly disappeared.
At this time, in a certain hidden space within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
Beside a small lake, in front of a few simple thatched huts.
Old Blind Man and the three Great Heavenly Emperors were gathered here.
"I have issued a Heavenly Emperor Decree for the pursuit and killing of Ye Yunfei," Great Emperor Jinwu announced.
"I have issued a Heavenly Emperor Decree with the same content," Youyue said.
"As have I," Tianluo, the Great Heavenly Emperor, nodded.
"Three Heavenly Emperors simultaneously issuing decrees to hunt down the same being... I'm afraid this is the first time in the history of the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
This gift you're offering to Heavenly Emperor Ye is certainly not insignificant," Old Blind Man said with a faint smile.
"Hmph, now a great many major forces across the Three Thousand Worlds are hunting Ye Yunfei. Even if he is a reborn Heavenly Emperor, he won't escape death!
To think he actually managed to reincarnate from a thousand years in the future, seeking revenge on us... What a joke," Great Emperor Jinwu sneered coldly.
"Heavenly Emperor Ye is doomed to die!" Youyue also revealed a cold smirk.
Only Tianluo remained silent.
"No!
The three Heavenly Emperors must not underestimate Heavenly Emperor Ye. According to my divination, this Heavenly Emperor Ye may be a being possessing great destiny.
All beings with great destiny, regardless of their current strength, are difficult to deal with.
Therefore, even if the three Heavenly Emperors have issued a kill decree for Heavenly Emperor Ye, you cannot guarantee it will certainly eliminate him."
Old Blind Man shook his head as he spoke.
"Even if the decree cannot finish him, in the end, the three of us can still take action personally. I refuse to believe that we, three proper Heavenly Emperors, cannot kill him!" Jinwu declared coldly.
"The three Heavenly Emperors should not rush to take action yourselves. The slightest carelessness could potentially attract the attention of the Primordial Pact.
Things would become very troublesome then."
Old Blind Man said.
"So what if the Primordial Pact is attracted!
I don't believe that pact can truly govern even Heavenly Emperors like us!
Within the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, we three Great Heavenly Emperors are the true masters!
I suspect this so-called Primordial Pact is merely an ancient will left behind from antiquity, long obsolete. Should it rule over our Three Thousand Worlds forever?!" Great Emperor Jinwu snorted.
"Heavenly Emperor Jinwu, the Primordial Pact possesses a shocking origin. I advise you to avoid provoking it," Old Blind Man said softly.
"Old Blind Man, do you know the origin of the Primordial Pact?" Tianluo, moved by the old man's words, asked.
"Forget it, I'd rather not discuss this topic.
Our divination faction has its own taboos. We must clearly distinguish what should and should not be said, otherwise many unnecessary troubles can be invited," Old Blind Man replied, shaking his head.
At the same time.
Above the Feixian Continent, a green Flying Boat was soaring.
Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged within.
"What are your plans next?" Hun Lao asked Ye Yunfei.
"I intend to return to Hongmeng Continent for a while.
After that, I'll go to the Vermilion Bird Realm. There are some matters that need to be settled," Ye Yunfei thought for a moment, then slowly said.
In truth, Ye Yunfei had long wanted to go to the Vermilion Bird Realm to rescue his mother and younger sister. It was just that the Miao Tribe of the Vermilion Bird Realm was a tremendously powerful race.
Known as descendants of the divine Vermilion Bird, the Miao Tribe possessed an incredibly deep heritage, occupied an entire realm exclusively, and was one of the mightiest forces in the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds.
It was said that within the Vermilion Bird Realm's Miao Tribe, experts were as numerous as clouds; they had dozens of Half-Emperor experts alone!
Such strength was something even the Heavenly God Palace could not compare to!
This was precisely the reason Ye Yunfei had not yet gone to the Vermilion Bird Realm—his strength had been insufficient.
But now things were different!
Ye Yunfei already possessed the strength to contend with the Miao Tribe of the Vermilion Bird Realm!
Of course he had to make a trip there to bring his mother and sister back.
"The suffering the Miao Clan inflicted upon my family—it's time to demand justice from them," Ye Yunfei stated coldly.
"The Miao Tribe of the Vermilion Bird Realm is very powerful. If you wish to confront them, it's best to be cautious," Hun Lao said.
"Don't worry. I have my own understanding.
Before going to the Vermilion Bird Realm's Miao Clan, I will focus fully on improving my strength," Ye Yunfei stated.
"It's time for me to significantly raise my combat power," Ye Yunfei said softly.
Ye Yunfei was currently at the Heavenly Boundary Realm. The next step after this was the Half-Emperor realm.
After breaking through to Half-Emperor, the goal after that would be Heavenly Emperor!
Re-ascending to the Heavenly Emperor realm was Ye Yunfei's greatest objective in this reincarnated life!
Now, Ye Yunfei was getting closer and closer to this goal!
"Seniors, I'm preparing to leave the Feixian Continent.
May I ask what plans you two have?" Ye Yunfei entered the Phantom Tower and stood before Profound Dragon Taoist Master and Cai Feng.
Both Profound Dragon Taoist Master and Cai Feng were natives of the Feixian Continent. Ye Yunfei wasn't sure if they were willing to follow him and leave the continent, so he had come to inquire.
"Little Brother, you're planning to leave Feixian Continent?
Where do you intend to go?" Profound Dragon Taoist Master was momentarily taken aback by Ye Yunfei's words.
During this period, following Ye Yunfei and roaming the Feixian Continent had been thrilling, perilous, and immensely rewarding. He had grown accustomed to this sort of life. Hearing that Ye Yunfei was leaving felt rather sudden.
