"Kid, who are you?"
The Second Prince looked at Ye Yunfei and couldn't help but ask.
However, he felt that Ye Yunfei's words were quite to his taste.
For a long time, his reputation hadn't been very good; he was known as a playboy who idled away his time and was always on the lookout for beautiful women.
Now someone was publicly praising him as a young genius, of course he was pleased. Whether intentional or not, he still hadn't loosened the arm with which he held Miao Yazhi.
"Kid, you're courting death!
Second Prince, release Yazhi at once!"
Da Wangye was now furious to the extreme. He glared at Ye Yunfei, then reached out with a grab towards Miao Yazhi in the Second Prince's embrace.
For Miao Yazhi to be publicly hugged and clung to by a playboy like the Jiao Clan Second Prince was devastating to her reputation. She would likely not dare show her face again in the future.
Rumble…
A mighty torrent of energy hurricane erupted from his palm, absolutely terrifying.
The Second Prince was instantly suppressed, unable to move, his face pale with fright.
"Da Wangye, please conduct yourself with restraint!"
Beside the Jiao Clan Second Prince stood two Half-Emperor experts. Seeing this scene, their expressions darkened. They were here under orders to assist the Second Prince with the wedding, effectively also to protect him. How could they allow someone to harm him?
Boom! Boom!
The two Half-Emperor experts of the Jiao Clan simultaneously took a step forward, unleashing a violent wave of energy pressure.
"Da Wangye, please remain calm!"
At this moment, the old wizard of the Miao Clan stepped forward to block Da Wangye's path, speaking in a low voice.
"Please don't misunderstand, esteemed elders!
I was merely acting rashly in the heat of the moment, I meant no harm to the Second Prince!"
Only now did Da Wangye regain his clarity. Forcing down the rage in his heart, he withdrew his energy pressure and spoke.
The Tianjiao World of the Jiao Clan was a very powerful world. The reputation of the Jiao Clan across the Three Thousand Major and Minor Worlds was no less than that of the Miao Clan of the Vermilion Bird Realm.
Da Wangye was ambitious, wanting to become the master of the Vermilion Bird Realm and its next Vermilion Bird King. He naturally did not wish to make enemies of the Jiao Clan.
"Second Prince, this is my granddaughter Yazhi, not Miao Xiaofei. Please release Yazhi."
Da Wangye looked at the Second Prince, forcing an unconvincing smile.
"Alright.
However, Da Wangye, you will have to give me an explanation for this matter."
The Second Prince reluctantly let go of Miao Yazhi as he spoke.
"Second Prince, rest assured. I will definitely give you an explanation."
Da Wangye pulled Miao Yazhi back to his side in one swift motion. Checking her over, he found she was merely sealed, with no other serious issues, which relieved him.
He slapped a palm onto Miao Yazhi's body, forcibly breaking the seal on her.
"Where am I?"
Miao Yazhi slowly regained consciousness, opening her eyes and warily surveying her surroundings.
"Grandfather, why are you here?
These… are wedding clothes!
What's going on? Why am I wearing bridal attire?
What is all this?"
Miao Yazhi soon discovered herself adorned in the grand crimson bridal robe. A sense of dread arose, and she shrieked.
"Miss Miao Yazhi, congratulations. You have just had your bows to Heaven and Earth with the Jiao Clan Second Prince. You and he are now an enviable newlywed couple."
It was at this moment Ye Yunfei's voice rang out.
"I had my bows with the Jiao Clan Second Prince?
No!
Wasn't that vile woman Miao Xiaofei supposed to marry the Jiao Clan Second Prince?
How could it be… me?
Grandfather, what's happening?"
Upon hearing this, Miao Yazhi completely panicked.
"Humph!
You dare call Xiao Fei a vile woman?
Xiao Fei is a hundred, a thousand times more noble than you! You're not even worthy to polish her shoes!"
Ye Yunfei's expression darkened as he spoke coldly.
"It's you…
Grandfather! He's the one who barged into my secret chamber, attacked me, and captured me!"
Miao Yazhi's gaze followed the voice to Ye Yunfei. She immediately recognized him, shrieking in both shock and fury.
Hearing Miao Yazhi's cry, everyone immediately understood: all these disruptions were the work of this strange young man before them!
"Da Wangye! He is Ye Yunfei!
He is Miao Ziqiong's son, Miao Xiaofei's elder brother!
When I went to the Canghuang World to capture Miao Xiaofei and bring her back, I once saw him and even fought him!"
Suddenly, a Miao clansman in the square pointed at Ye Yunfei and shouted.
This Miao clansman was one of those who had gone to Canghuang World to capture Xiao Fei and bring her back to the Vermilion Bird Realm.
"Correct. I recognize you as well."
Ye Yunfei suddenly turned, his gaze filled with killing intent, and he also recognized the man.
Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei directly unleashed a Heaven Soul Sword, attacking into the man's soul sea.
Pop!
This Miao clansman's head exploded on the spot, like a smashed watermelon.
This Miao clansman was only at the Realm-Building level. Using the Heaven Soul Sword with Ye Yunfei's current strength to kill him was far too easy—it was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut!
"As for a few others of you, I recognize you as well."
Ye Yunfei's gaze swept towards several other Miao clansmen nearby as he spoke coldly.
Pop! Pop! Pop!…
Following Ye Yunfei's words, the heads of seven or eight more Miao clansmen exploded in quick succession. In less than a single breath, they were all dead.
These were all men who had gone to Canghuang World to capture Xiao Fei back then. Ye Yunfei remembered every one of them clearly.
Back in the Canghuang World, Ye Yunfei had been no match for them. But now, Ye Yunfei only needed a single thought to slaughter them all.
"Little bastard!
So it's you, the son of that lowly woman Miao Ziqiong!
Good! I haven't even had time to send people to find you, and you dare come to the Vermilion Bird Realm to provoke me!
Little bastard, since you've delivered yourself to my door, I will definitely chop you into ten thousand pieces!"
Da Wangye instantly understood what was happening. The son of Miao Ziqiong had come to his door seeking revenge. He spoke through gritted teeth.
Swoosh… Swoosh…
While he spoke, Da Wangye had secretly given orders for Miao Clan experts to surround the square. Miao Clan experts appeared one after another, groups of Miao Clan forces continuously emerging and encircling the square's perimeter.
"So you are Miao Ziqiong's son!"
The sinister gaze of the old wizard also fixed on Ye Yunfei.
"I've come to settle accounts with you two old bastards."
Ye Yunfei swept his gaze over Da Wangye and the old wizard, a dense killing intent within it, speaking coldly.
"So he is Miao Xiaofei's elder brother."
The Jiao Clan Second Prince was also a little surprised, scrutinizing Ye Yunfei.
"Kid, where are Miao Xiaofei and Miao Ziqiong?
Was it you who snatched them away!
Immediately return them to our Miao Clan, otherwise, you will regret it!"
The old wizard stared at Ye Yunfei and demanded in a heavy tone.
"My own family members—do I need to 'snatch' them away?
Old bastard, you're truly used to being domineering."
Ye Yunfei was both angered and amused by the wizard's words.
"However, they truly are with me."
Ye Yunfei said lightly.
"Insolence!
Miao Ziqiong and Miao Xiaofei are both members of the Miao Clan! They should unconditionally accept all the clan's arrangements!
Yet these two have colluded with an outsider and ruined today's wedding. This is the grave crime of clan betrayal!
Make them come out at once! I want to ask them face to face if they intend to betray the Miao Clan!"
The old wizard shouted sternly, appearing righteous and indignant.
