"I remember now!
Kid, do you recall? Back when you were in Tianxiong Domain, after you broke the restrictions inside the Yandi Pearl and released Yan Emperor's avatar, Yan Emperor discovered a group of people from the Reincarnation Palace. He then personally forced that Reincarnation Palace contingent to leave Feixian Continent!
I'm absolutely certain, those beings inside that distant ship are that same Reincarnation Palace contingent!"
Hun Lao suddenly exclaimed in a low voice.
His perception was astonishing. Back then, he had sensed that Reincarnation Palace group clearly. Now encountering them again, he recognized them immediately.
"That's right, it's them!
These are indeed the Reincarnation Palace's people!
It was very likely these very individuals who captured Cai Feng back then, intending to use her against Xuanlong Daozhang and me!
Even then, I suspected these Reincarnation Palace members were actually targeting me. Now it seems they indeed were!"
Reminded by Hun Lao, Ye Yunfei instantly recalled the memory.
"According to what Yan Emperor said, these Reincarnation Palace beings don't belong to Feixian Continent. They had been forcibly expelled by Yan Emperor. Who would have thought they'd return."
Hun Lao remarked.
"Hmph!
Their coming to my doorstep is perfect. This time, I will definitely find them and get them to clarify why they specifically came to deal with me.
Back then, there was no Heavenly Emperor Decree hunting me. Their coming after me must have had some reason!
Besides, they came all this way to target me. It would be rude not to greet them."
Ye Yunfei gazed at the distant ship, a cold smile playing on his lips.
Do not provoke me, and I shall not provoke you; but if provoked, retaliation will be twofold!
This was Ye Yunfei's consistent principle!
With that, Ye Yunfei stood up and walked out of the flying boat.
"That kid's coming out!"
At that moment, the five Half-Emperors were joining forces to deal with the fireball. Seeing Ye Yunfei suddenly emerge, their gazes immediately turned toward him.
The fireball's incineration power was truly terrifying, making these five Half-Emperor experts deeply wary and eager to eliminate it together.
Five Half-Emperor experts combining their strength unleashed a fearsome power, blasting the fireball and forcing it to retreat repeatedly.
Ye Yunfei beckoned, and the fireball flew back, slowly orbiting his body.
"Kid, you finally dare to show yourself!"
The five Half-Emperors closed in, surrounding Ye Yunfei, all radiating murderous intent.
Although Ye Yunfei had just displayed astonishing strength, annihilating a large group of not-weak beings in moments, in the eyes of these five Half-Emperor experts, it still wasn't quite enough to faze them.
After all, they were Half-Emperor experts. In most worlds among the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds, Half-Emperors were lofty, supreme existences that crushed everything.
"No time to delay. Let's move together and kill him.
Three of us will deal with that fireball, the other two will go for him. That way, he's undoubtedly doomed!"
One of the Half-Emperor experts suggested.
"Good idea."
The other four Half-Emperor experts nodded.
Thus, the five Half-Emperor experts activated their movements, charging toward Ye Yunfei. Three headed straight for the fireball, two aimed directly at Ye Yunfei.
Yet, Ye Yunfei's focus was primarily on that distant ship. He didn't pay much heed to these five Half-Emperors.
Just as they were about to close in on Ye Yunfei…
Inside the distant ship.
"Senior Brother Xiang, look. That kid's gaze is directed our way. It seems he's taken notice of us."
A Reincarnation Palace disciple said to Senior Brother Xiang.
"Let him. With five Half-Emperor experts attacking together, he's dead for sure.
While the quality of Feixian Continent's Half-Emperors can't compare to those from our world, their realm is still what it is. Five Half-Emperors slaughtering this kid won't be any issue at all."
Senior Brother Xiang sneered.
"Heh heh, kid, prepare to die!"
At that moment, the five Half-Emperors closed in on Ye Yunfei, each wearing a ferocious grin. Two of them simultaneously launched attacks at Ye Yunfei, their opening moves being absolute-killing major techniques.
The other three stared fixedly at the fireball, poised to strike.
Right then…
*BOOM…*
Ye Yunfei waved a hand. Figure after figure, radiating powerful auras, continuously appeared, standing before Ye Yunfei.
A full ten Half-Emperor experts!
And all of them possessed strength at the Intermediate Half-Emperor level!
"Kill them all."
Ye Yunfei said lightly.
Even as he spoke, Ye Yunfei took a single step, employing a Spatial Instant Movement Technique. In the next instant, he appeared directly before the ship belonging to the Reincarnation Palace contingent.
"Show yourselves, all of you."
Ye Yunfei said calmly.
"Ten Half-Emperors!
Impossible! How can this kid have ten Half-Emperors following him?!"
Inside the ship, all the Reincarnation Palace members were struck dumb, unable to believe it.
In their world, while Half-Emperors weren't rare and could be seen everywhere, on Feixian Continent, Half-Emperors belonged to the very pinnacle of power on this continent. For a typical major power, possessing six or seven Half-Emperor experts was already considered extremely formidable.
Now, ten Half-Emperors had suddenly appeared, naturally shocking everyone!
"What's going on?!"
At this point, the five Half-Emperors who had been surrounding Ye Yunfei were utterly stupefied.
They had thought killing Ye Yunfei was guaranteed. They never expected ten Half-Emperor experts to suddenly appear, and all Intermediate Half-Emperors at that! Their group of five had no way to contend with such force!
"Hold on! Everyone, who exactly are you? Where are you from? I recognize most of Feixian Continent's Half-Emperor experts, but I've never seen you before. We have no grievance either, no need for conflict…"
"Esteemed sirs, what virtue or ability does this kid possess that warrants your assistance? Let's talk this through!"
…
The five Half-Emperors panicked, retreating incessantly, their words somewhat disjointed.
"Kill!"
The ten Half-Emperor experts Ye Yunfei released didn't want to waste words. They directly charged forward, surrounded their opponents, and launched a frenzied assault.
Thus, an intense battle commenced.
However, due to the vast disparity in power, the five Half-Emperor experts were quickly pressed and beaten down, unable to fight back.
Meanwhile, Ye Yunfei stood before the Reincarnation Palace's ship, hands clasped behind his back, staring at the beings inside.
"Damn it! I truly don't understand how this kid suddenly gained ten Half-Emperors!
It seems this operation has failed yet again!"
Inside the ship, Senior Brother Xiang looked at Ye Yunfei, his face livid with anger.
"Senior Brother Xiang, why don't we just make a move ourselves and directly kill this kid?
No need for all this trouble!"
A Reincarnation Palace disciple beside him whispered.
"If we personally intervene, traces will definitely be left. With the Palace Master's profound abilities, if they wish to investigate in the future, they'll certainly trace it back to us. So, it's best we avoid taking action if possible."
Senior Brother Xiang's face showed hesitation.
Before departing, Dragon Grandma had repeatedly cautioned him not to personally take action to kill Ye Yunfei.
Otherwise, he would have attacked long ago.
"Senior Brother Xiang, this time, even if we want to avoid action, we can't.
That kid is about to make a move against us."
Right then, a Reincarnation Palace disciple suddenly cried out.
At that moment, before the ship, Ye Yunfei had lost his patience. He pointed a finger.
*RUMBLE…*
The fireball formed from the fusion of five types of profound flame gave a light tremble before vanishing. The next moment, it had traversed space to appear inside the ship containing the Reincarnation Palace contingent. Then, the fireball underwent a massive explosion, releasing terrifying incineration energy that directly ignited the space within the ship, transforming it into a sea of roaring flames.
