"Ye Yunfei, your death is near!
Just wait until you step out of the Tianying Small World. Let's see where you can run to then!"
At that moment, in a certain corner of the Tianying Small World, the prodigy Xiao Tianlong of the Xiao Clan gnashed his teeth as he spoke.
"Ye Yunfei, you severed one of my arms! If I do not avenge this humiliation, I, Shangguan Feng, am not a man!"
In another location, the core disciple of the Heavenly Emperor Sacred Land, Shangguan Feng, revealed a bitter, venomous expression, his gaze filled with terrifying killing intent.
As a core disciple of the Heavenly Emperor Sacred Land, his status among the younger generation of the Eastern Region was extremely exalted. Yet, he had been publicly humiliated by Ye Yunfei, who severed his arm!
For someone as proud and arrogant as him, how could he possibly let this rest?
"Once we get out, we must immediately report the news of Elder Brother Chen Fan's death to Elder Chen Tianxiong!
Elder Brother Chen Fan is a genius of our clan. He cannot die in vain!"
A disciple of the Chen Clan declared murderously.
At the same time, Lei Lingzi, Zhang Cang, and others all wore expressions of killing intent in their eyes, vowing to seek revenge against Ye Yunfei once they exited.
Within the Tianying Small World, they were no match for Ye Yunfei. However, outside the entrance and exit of the Tianying Small World, a group of high-ranking figures from major sects and clans were gathered!
The moment Ye Yunfei stepped out of the Tianying Small World, he would have no place to run!
"You two no longer need to follow me," Ye Yunfei said to Xiao Xuexi and Wu Xianling.
"Fine, we won't! Oh, so high and mighty now, are we!" Wu Xianling retorted with a pout.
"Xianling, don't speak nonsense! Ye Yunfei is only afraid of implicating us." Xiao Xuexi had a calm and intelligent personality. She immediately understood Ye Yunfei's meaning. "Ye Yunfei, you have provoked so many major powers. They definitely will not let this go." Her beautiful eyes held a trace of worry as she looked at Ye Yunfei.
"Whatever trouble they bring, I shall answer in turn. It’s nothing to be concerned about," Ye Yunfei replied indifferently.
With a thousand years of cultivation experience, Ye Yunfei had weathered countless fields of corpses and seas of blood, fought in earth-shattering battles. He had even stood against the legendary Divine-Demon race. Mere sects from the Eastern Region were not worthy of even a glance from him.
At present, the only thing that troubled Ye Yunfei was that some of the people he cared about beside him still lacked the ability to protect themselves. For example, his father, the members of the Ye Family, and the Tianyuan Sect.
"It would be best if those sects of the Eastern Region do not provoke me.
Otherwise, one day, I will personally wipe them from existence," Ye Yunfei stated calmly, his hands clasped behind his back.
"Ye Yunfei, you…" Xiao Xuexi wanted to argue, but as she met Ye Yunfei's supremely confident gaze, she found herself at a loss for words.
Just then.
Boom… Rumble…
The entire Tianying Small World shook violently.
A powerful teleportation force descended from above, enveloping every martial artist within the Tianying Small World.
At that moment, everyone knew that this journey of cultivation within the Tianying Small World had truly come to an end.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh…
Inside the Tianying Small World, one martial artist after another began to be teleported away, disappearing.
"You four, follow my arrangements. Otherwise, it will be very dangerous after we exit," Ye Yunfei said to Long Yingying and the other three.
"Okay," Long Yingying, He Houfeng, Wu Yan, and Xiao Lin all nodded.
With a thought, Ye Yunfei activated the Phantom Tower, instantly storing Long Yingying and the other four inside it.
Hu Miao also entered the Inner Alchemy space on Ye Yunfei's person.
Then,
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Xiao Xuexi and Wu Xianling vanished at the same moment.
Following that, a powerful teleportation force enveloped Ye Yunfei. He knew he was about to be teleported out.
…
Outside the entrance portal to the Tianying Small World.
All around, the undulating mountain peaks were filled with people. Everyone craned their necks in anticipation, their moods somewhat excited.
Especially the high-ranking members of the major sects and clans—they were all filled with expectation.
In the history of the Eastern Region, every time the Tianying Small World opened, these great powers always reaped the greatest harvests.
Because the disciples they nurtured were exceptional enough!
"Hehe, for this journey of cultivation within the Tianying Small World, Chen Fan will surely not disappoint us," a short, elderly member of the Chen Clan said with a laugh atop one of the small mountain peaks.
"Of course.
I have watched that child Chen Fan grow up since he was young.
He has always performed admirably.
In the future, he will surely have the hope of entering the Hidden Dragon Rankings and bringing glory to our Chen Clan!" A middle-aged man beside him stated.
"Haha, let's hope so," the short old man laughed heartily.
"Right, everyone take note. The moment that youngster called Ye Yunfei emerges, we immediately move to capture him!" the short old man suddenly added with a darkened expression.
"Also, send someone to the Great Qin Empire later. Kill everyone from his master's sect, his family—anyone related to him.
We must let the world know what kind of fate awaits those who dare provoke our Chen Clan!"
In these past few days, the Chen Clan, the Xiao Clan, and other great powers had long since investigated Ye Yunfei's background and origins.
These major sects and clans had immense power. Investigating a person's background was no difficult task.
Moreover, there was a faction from the Great Qin Empire's Xiaoyao Pavilion present, led by an Elder.
It was that Elder from the Xiaoyao Pavilion who had leaked Ye Yunfei's identity and origins.
"Tianlong should not disappoint us."
Not far away, atop another mountain peak, stood a group of Xiao Clan members. Among them, an elder in a cyan robe nodded with a smile.
"Also, move immediately once that Ye Yunfei emerges!" the cyan-robed elder instructed.
On another mountaintop stood an old man with snow-white hair and beard, emanating an air of a transcendent sage—it was Elder Shi of the Heavenly Emperor Sacred Land.
He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, flanked by a few men.
"Hehe, the disciples of our Heavenly Emperor Sacred Land will be emerging soon.
Let us hope they bring back excellent harvests," Elder Shi said with a confident smile.
"Elder Shi, in your opinion, for this journey of cultivation in the Tianying Small World, is there any young genius among them who might have entered the Tianying Hall?"
Suddenly, a voice like rolling thunder spoke up.
It was an old man with a ruddy complexion from a nearby mountain peak—a Thunder Clan Elder whose body crackled with lightning, dazzlingly bright.
"That, I cannot say for certain.
However, wishing to enter the Tianying Hall is exceedingly difficult.
The Tianying Small World has been opened so many times, and never has anyone succeeded in entering the Tianying Hall."
Elder Shi pondered before answering.
"Indeed. For the younger generation, entering the Tianying Hall truly is too difficult.
A pity we old folks are not qualified to enter the Tianying Small World.
Otherwise, the treasures within the Tianying Hall would have been taken long ago," said the Thunder Clan Elder.
"It is said the Tianying Hall contains the most precious treasures of the Tianying Clan. I wonder if that is true," the Thunder Clan Elder inquired.
"It is true.
One could say that the vast majority of treasures left behind by the Tianying Clan of old are housed within the Tianying Hall.
This point is recorded in the ancient texts of our Heavenly Emperor Sacred Land," Elder Shi nodded.
Just at that moment…
Suddenly.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh…
Figures, one after another, rushed out ceaselessly from the portal of the Tianying Small World.
Everyone's spirits lifted, knowing the young cultivators were finally emerging!
"Safe returns are good enough!"
"Haha, didn't expect this! Your harvests are truly quite good!"
"Worthy of praise, you young ones, you have brought honor to our sect!"
"*Sigh*, never mind. The harvest is a bit meager. But being able to emerge alive is already a fine result."
…
Immediately, the scene became lively. The high-ranking members of each faction all stepped forward to welcome their respective disciples.
"Elder Chen Tianxiong, disaster has struck!
Elder Brother Chen Fan has been killed by Ye Yunfei!
Furthermore, every single one of our Chen Clan disciples has been robbed clean by that thief Ye Yunfei!"
Suddenly, a group of Chen Clan disciples, having just emerged, rushed before the short elder of their clan, wailing and complaining.
"Chen Fan… he’s dead?!
Speak! What exactly happened?!"
Hearing this, the short elder’s expression drastically changed. He grabbed the shoulder of one of the Chen Clan disciples and roared fiercely.
The Chen Clan disciples hurriedly explained the course of events.
"Damn it! Ye Yunfei, you little wretch, you go too far!
Our Chen Clan is now locked in a life-and-death struggle with you!"
After listening, the short elder raised his head and roared to the heavens.
"Thief Ye Yunfei, our Xiao Clan will definitely kill you!"
On the mountain peak opposite, the high-ranking members of the Xiao Clan also bellowed.
"Ye Yunfei, you have slaughtered yet more of our Huangtian Sect disciples! Our Huangtian Sect will definitely seek revenge!"
The high-ranking members of the Huangtian Sect also roared furiously.
The high-ranking members of the Thunder Clan and the Yin-Yang Sect were also incensed, because Lei Lingzi and Zhang Cang had both been injured by Ye Yunfei.
"Hehehe… very well. He dares to move against the disciples of my Heavenly Emperor Sacred Land as well."
Elder Shi, seeing Shangguan Feng with only one arm remaining, wore an extremely gloomy expression.
"A great disaster is upon us!
Ye Yunfei has actually provoked so many major powers once again!
What are we to do!
Our Tianyuan Sect is likely to face a terrible calamity!"
Inside, Elder Hao of the Tianyuan Sect trembled all over in fright, having long since found a place to hide himself away as he listened to these roars of fury.
Soon, a shocking piece of news rapidly spread.
Ye Yunfei had once entered the Tianying Hall!
Upon hearing this news, the entire gathering erupted in an uproar.
"Impossible!
How could anyone manage to enter the Tianying Hall?!"
"In that case… does that mean all the treasures of the Tianying Clan have fallen into Ye Yunfei's hands?"
…
Voices filled with madness continued to sound, one after another.
