"Not good, Palace Master! The enemies are about to break in, most of our formations have already been breached! We can't hold them off any longer!"
At this moment, several stewards covered in blood rushed from afar and landed before the Palace Master, speaking in a state of panic.
"Haha... In truth, your Longevity Palace could have avoided today's battle if you'd just handed over half of your territory. In recent years, you've controlled nearly half of the Central Divine Land, giving no consideration to how the rest of us feel.
Your Longevity Palace's strength is no longer what it was, yet you insist on clinging to so much territory. It's utterly despicable.
The power dynamics of the Central Divine Land are due for a change. Starting tomorrow, the Longevity Palace will no longer exist as a force."
A white-haired old man said this as he led a large, menacing group charging into the Longevity Palace's headquarters.
"Everyone in the Longevity Palace, come out and accept your deaths!"
From another direction, a green-robed middle-aged man also led a large contingent charging into the Longevity Palace headquarters!
At the same time, forces from at least five or six different organizations were assaulting the Longevity Palace headquarters from various directions.
Most of the formations within the Longevity Palace headquarters had already been broken. The Longevity Palace's forces were being beaten back step by step.
Finally, they were forced onto a single mountain peak within the headquarters compound.
All the senior members and the remaining forces of the Longevity Palace clustered behind the Longevity Palace Master, each face etched with despair.
The enemies' momentum was too ferocious. With over forty Heavenly Longevity Realm experts and a coalition formed from five or six major powers, this was far beyond the Longevity Palace's ability to handle.
"Haha... You've enjoyed enough glory these past few years!
Frankly speaking, your Longevity Palace is nothing more than a hanger-on, clinging to that kid Ye Yunfei's coattails and using his influence to intimidate others, seizing so much territory in our Central Divine Land!
Now that Ye Yunfei has left the Primordial Continent, who do you think you can still rely on?"
A burly, imposing-looking elder roared with laughter.
This elder possessed the strength of the late Heavenly Longevity Realm!
"Since you know of the relationship between our Longevity Palace and Young Master Ye, how dare you provoke us? Aren't you afraid of the grave consequences when Young Master Ye pursues the matter later?"
The Longevity Palace Master said sternly.
"That brat Ye Yunfei might scare others, but he doesn't scare me. Even if he were here right now, I'd still wipe out your Longevity Palace. If he dared to interfere, I'd kill him too."
The elder snorted coldly.
"Indeed," a green-robed middle-aged man sneered. "From what I know, that brat Ye Yunfei's combat power is, at most, at the Star-Gazing Realm. A mere Star-Gazing Realm cultivator is nothing noteworthy in today's Central Divine Land."
At this point, over forty Heavenly Longevity Realm experts surrounded the mountain peak, each looking at the Longevity Palace forces with disdain.
The Longevity Palace had only eight Heavenly Longevity Realm experts. Faced with over forty, they stood no chance!
"Enough talk," a white-haired old man declared loudly. "Let's take action, annihilate the Longevity Palace, and divide its territory! Starting tomorrow, the Longevity Palace will no longer exist as a force in the Central Divine Land!"
This elder was a Heavenly Longevity Realm Paragon expert, arguably one of the top-tier powerhouses in the Central Divine Land currently!
"Action! Annihilate the Longevity Palace!"
Following the elder's words, everyone else roared in unison, their blood boiling with excitement. After all, in recent years, the Longevity Palace had been hailed as the strongest force in the Central Divine Land. Today, they were about to be jointly destroyed by this coalition. This was a moment to witness history!
"Kill!"
Led by the over forty Heavenly Longevity Realm experts, the rest of the forces followed closely behind. A terrible, fierce battle was about to commence.
"Everyone, there are no cowards in our Longevity Palace who fear death and cling to life! Even if we fight to the last person, we will never surrender!"
The Longevity Palace Master said slowly.
"Kill!"
With a wave of his hand, the Palace Master bellowed.
Kill!
The Longevity Palace forces roared in unison and charged forward with all their might. Everyone understood that, under these circumstances, even kneeling and begging for mercy might not lead the enemies to spare them.
"It seems our Longevity Palace cannot be preserved today."
In truth, at this moment, the Palace Master and the other senior members' hearts were filled with despair, understanding that the Longevity Palace likely couldn't be saved.
Right at that moment.
"Palace Master! Good news! Young Master Ye has arrived! Our Longevity Palace is saved!"
An excited voice rang out, coming from afar.
Young Master Ye has arrived!
Hearing this, the Longevity Palace Master and all the senior members were instantly energized, simultaneously looking up.
Then, they saw a visibly excited elder in the distant sky, returning with great strides, accompanied by a young man.
The excited elder was an ordinary elder of the Longevity Palace!
That young man was none other than Ye Yunfei!
"Excellent! Young Master Ye truly came! Our Longevity Palace is saved!"
The Longevity Palace Master and the others fixed their gazes on Ye Yunfei. Their previously despair-filled hearts were suddenly flooded with hope.
"It really is Ye Yunfei! Didn't he already leave the Primordial Continent? How has he returned?"
The gazes of all the other forces' members also focused on Ye Yunfei, each face filled with suspicion and uncertainty.
Ye Yunfei was too famous in the Primordial Continent!
The Corpse World, the Heaven Nether Tomb, the Heavenly God Palace—these former top forces that once dominated the Primordial Continent—had all been annihilated by Ye Yunfei!
Although Ye Yunfei had left the Primordial Continent in recent years, legends about him still circulated throughout the land.
Ye Yunfei, the Primordial Continent's former number one, still held immense influence!
Thus, Ye Yunfei's sudden arrival put immense pressure on the members of those enemy forces for a moment.
"Hmph! So what if Ye Yunfei has come? With our current strength, why should we fear him?
Everyone, since Ye Yunfei is here, let's seize this opportunity to eliminate him once and for all, cutting off future troubles at the root!"
The burly, imposing elder suddenly burst into wild laughter, his gaze fixed on Ye Yunfei filled with murderous intent as he shouted loudly.
Whoosh!
No sooner had the elder finished speaking than a blur flashed before his eyes. Ye Yunfei now stood right in front of him, staring back with an icy-cold expression.
"You want to kill me?"
Ye Yunfei asked, his hands clasped behind his back, his voice frigid and seemingly devoid of all emotion.
"Exactly, Ye Yunfei! The Primordial Continent is no longer your era!
It belongs to us, the Heavenly Longevity Realm experts!
Your strength is, at best, at the Star-Gazing Realm. A mere junior like you, what gives you the right to act so arrogant before us? Prepare to die!"
Gritting his teeth, the elder snarled ferociously.
Boom!
In the next instant, he attacked directly, raising a golden war halberd and chopping viciously towards Ye Yunfei. The energy pressure he unleashed caused the very heavens and earth to tremble, its might overwhelming.
Wherever the golden halberd passed, space ahead shattered continuously, giving birth to dark, gaping spatial rifts.
Yet, Ye Yunfei stood there, hands still clasped behind his back, not dodging or evading, as if he saw nothing.
"Young Master Ye, be careful!"
Witnessing this, the Longevity Palace Master and the senior members paled, urgently calling out a warning.
"Haha... Look! Ye Yunfei seems to be immobilized by Patriarch Tang's energy pressure, unable to move, let alone resist.
Ye Yunfei truly is spent. The Primordial Continent now belongs to us, the era of Heavenly Longevity Realm experts!"
"Of course! Before, when Heavenly God Palace's strength was merely at the Star-Gazing Realm, he claimed to be the number one in the Primordial Continent. Looking back now, it's utterly laughable!
The Primordial Continent has entered a new era. Those ridiculous times of the past are gone forever!
After killing Ye Yunfei, starting today, the title of the Primordial Continent's number one will change hands!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei standing there motionless, the other Heavenly Longevity Realm experts all assumed he had been completely immobilized by that elder's energy pressure. They burst into uproarious laughter, each looking self-satisfied and triumphant.
"Everyone, after we kill Ye Yunfei and annihilate the Longevity Palace, let's make a trip to the Eastern Barrens and casually wipe out the Ziwei Sect while we're at it!
I've heard there might be treasures and legacies left behind by the Ziwei Great Emperor within the Ziwei Sect. It's worth checking out!"
Suddenly, an early-stage Heavenly Longevity Realm expert laughed loudly and made this suggestion.
