‘Father has been within the Vermilion Bird Realm all these years. It’s just that due to problems with his body, he can only remain in a dormant state. And that Vermilion Bird skeleton is the key to Father’s recovery! Eldest Brother, you cannot contend with Father!’ Third Prince transmitted his voice to Da Wangye.
‘If it really is Father, of course I wouldn’t contend. However, Third Brother, this is clearly your trickery. Do you think you can deceive me with just any made-up excuse? I’m not so easy to fool!’ Da Wangye replied with a cold laugh. He then ignored Third Prince.
‘Old Wizard, quickly, let me in! I need to refine that Vermilion Bird skeleton as soon as possible, lest no time to waste!’ Da Wangye said to the old Wizard. He had decided to disregard everything else and refine the skeleton first. Given his realm and strength, if he could refine a genuine Vermilion Bird skeleton, he might very well break through to the Heavenly Emperor realm in one fell swoop! The temptation was simply too great!
At that moment, the old Wizard suddenly flashed, charging into the Myriad Birds Formation! ‘Da Wangye, guard the outside first. I shall go in and take a look,’ the old Wizard declared.
‘Old Wizard, what is the meaning of this?’ Da Wangye, seeing the old Wizard’s actions, immediately had a bad feeling and couldn’t help but ask.
‘My meaning is clear, Da Wangye. Guard the outside first. I am going in to take a look,’ the old Wizard replied coolly. His attitude toward Da Wangye now seemed much colder.
‘Old Wizard, we had an agreement! You were to guard and let me go in to refine that skeleton!’ Da Wangye was getting angry. However, the old Wizard merely gave a cold smirk.
‘Guard the gate! No one is to enter!’ the old Wizard’s face suddenly darkened as he shouted sternly.
A large group of the old Wizard’s trusted followers sprang into action at his command. Some took up positions outside the Myriad Birds Formation, some inside it, relying on the formation to tightly guard the palace entrance.
‘Old Wizard! Do you intend to violate our agreement and fight me for that Vermilion Bird skeleton?!’ Da Wangye roared in fury.
‘Heh heh... Da Wangye, that Vermilion Bird skeleton is, for now, ownerless. How can you claim it as yours?’ the old Wizard chuckled coldly.
‘You...!’ Da Wangye was so enraged he couldn’t speak, realizing this old Wizard had already betrayed him.
‘My dear eldest brother, haven’t you figured it out yet? The old Wizard is actually a spy who infiltrated our Miao Clan. Over the years, using your status and power, he has thrown our Miao Clan into disarray. Now, he wants to monopolize the Vermilion Bird skeleton. Eldest Brother, by rights, you are our Miao Clan’s sinner,’ Third Prince said placidly.
BOOM!
As soon as his words fell, the red coffin where Third Prince resided erupted with astonishing energy, hurtling toward the Myriad Birds Formation. The dozen or so Half-Emperor experts in red cloaks surrounding the red coffin launched a savage assault on the formation as well.
‘Good! Let’s join forces first and break this Myriad Birds Formation together!’ Second Prince, with his dozen or so Half-Emperor subordinates, also began to attack the formation.
‘Attack! Break this formation!’ Da Wangye’s expression fluctuated wildly, finally settling as he waved a hand, ordering his forces to also attack the Myriad Birds Formation.
In this way, dozens of Half-Emperor experts combined their strength to assault the formation. In addition, a large number of other Miao Clan members also began to join the attack. Da Wangye’s forces were the most numerous! Thus, the forces of the three princes were joining hands to break the formation!
Swish! Swish!
Suddenly, dozens of black figures shot out from the depths of the nearby space, charging toward the forces of the three princes. All were Half-Emperor experts!
‘These are all members of the Dark Faction! So, it seems the old Wizard is actually colluding with the Dark Faction!’ Ye Yunfei’s eyes narrowed slightly in surprise.
Under the assault of the dozens of Dark Faction beings, the forces of the three princes were forced to retreat continuously, beginning to suffer casualties.
‘Get lost!’ Enraged, Third Prince urged the red coffin to smash toward those Dark Faction beings, sending several flying on the spot. The coffin contained Heavenly Emperor-level energy, making its eruptions extremely terrifying.
BOOM! BOOM!
Next, Third Prince manipulated the red coffin to begin frenziedly attacking the Myriad Birds Formation. The Dark Faction beings charged forward again to obstruct them.
Da Wangye and Second Prince, with their forces, fought the Dark Faction beings while simultaneously attacking the formation.
The troops the old Wizard had stationed to guard the palace entrance also charged toward the forces of the three princes.
Thus, great chaos ensued. The battle was fierce, shaking this stretch of heaven and earth, which seemed unable to bear the strain. Among them, the red coffin controlled by Third Prince was the most powerful, capable of directly flinging away Half-Emperor experts and repeatedly slamming violently into the formation, causing the Myriad Birds Formation to tremble constantly. However, this formation was extremely sturdy; breaking it within a short time seemed unlikely.
‘I must go in now. Otherwise, that Vermilion Bird skeleton inside the palace will be swallowed whole by the old Wizard.’ Ye Yunfei surveyed the battle briefly before suddenly revealing himself and striding toward the Myriad Birds Formation. Since the old Wizard had already entered the palace, Ye Yunfei knew he could wait no longer.
Ye Yunfei’s movement speed was extraordinarily swift. Weaving through the battlefield, he arrived before the Myriad Birds Formation in the blink of an eye.
‘Miao Ziqiong’s son! He actually entered the Zhuque Divine Grotto!’ Da Wangye immediately recognized Ye Yunfei, his eyes flashing with fury. He had a beloved grandson who died at Ye Yunfei’s hands! Moreover, Ye Yunfei had rescued Miao Ziqiong and Miao Xiaofei, ruining his plans.
‘It’s him!’ Third Prince also recognized Ye Yunfei, somewhat surprised.
Then, under the shocked gazes of Da Wangye and Third Prince, Ye Yunfei stepped directly into the Myriad Birds Formation.
‘How is that possible? He can ignore the Myriad Birds Formation?’ Both Da Wangye and Third Prince found it hard to believe.
‘Look! That kid actually walked into the Myriad Birds Formation!’ Other members of the Miao Clan were also greatly astonished, shouting out loud.
‘Kid! You’re asking for death!’ The troops the old Wizard had stationed within the Myriad Birds Formation to guard the palace entrance immediately charged toward Ye Yunfei.
BOOM! BOOM!
Ye Yunfei waved a hand, unleashing the Thunder God Indestructible Body Technique. Thick, massive bolts of lightning appeared, carrying terrifying lightning energy as they struck down toward the old Wizard’s subordinates. The Thunder God Indestructible Body Technique was not only a high-level body tempering art but also a technique capable of manipulating thunder and lightning, allowing one to use lightning energy and laws in combat.
AHH!
The old Wizard’s subordinates were sent flying by the thick lightning bolts, tumbling away like charred pieces of wood, bodies wreathed in black smoke.
One could see dazzling, thick bolts of lightning coiling around Ye Yunfei’s body like silvery dragons, a truly terrifying sight. Ye Yunfei strode straight into the palace. He understood he must charge into the palace quickly to contend with the old Wizard for the Vermilion Bird skeleton.
Swish!
Ye Yunfei’s figure flashed like lightning, instantly vanishing as he charged into the palace interior.
