At this moment, although tens of thousands of martial artists surrounded Ye Yunfei, all of them had been utterly intimidated by his savage aura.
Each person was silent, their limbs going weak.
"Kill!"
Ye Yunfei's icy gaze swept slowly over the surrounding crowd before he spat out a single word.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh…
Fifteen streaks of grey shadow shot out from Ye Yunfei's body.
Back in the Sky-Shadow Hall, Ye Yunfei had traded twenty bottles of Green Bamboo Pills with the Sky-Shadow King for fifteen Shadow Beast Kings.
The strength of each Shadow Beast King was equivalent to a human martial artist at the Saint Realm Late Stage.
Moreover, the Shadow Beast Kings were incredibly fast and could briefly fade into space.
As soon as the fifteen Shadow Beast Kings appeared, they began a wild slaughter.
Ahh! Ahhh…
Screams rang out incessantly.
The martial artists nearby could only see streaks of grey shadow pouncing towards them, flickering continuously; they couldn't make out the true forms of the fifteen Shadow Beast Kings at all.
"Run!"
Someone shouted in terror.
Immediately, the tens of thousands of martial artists scattered in panic.
Buzz buzz…
Ye Yunfei pointed a finger, and the Five Elements Spirit Swords shot forward to slay. Their sword rays were like lightning. Wherever they passed, martial artists were swiftly minced into pulp.
Under the slaughter of the fifteen Shadow Beast Kings and the Five Elements Spirit Swords, vast swathes of martial artists fell continuously.
The killing was so intense that cries shook the heavens and the ground flowed with rivers of blood!
Some martial artists, moving faster, fled desperately and managed to get some distance away after a moment.
"That Ye Yunfei is too terrifying. He's practically a demon king of slaughter!
Fortunately, I ran fast enough!"
"I'll never dare covet the treasure of the Sky-Shadow Race again!
Life is still more precious!"
…
Those martial artists who had escaped to a distance let out a slight sigh of relief, patting their chests and congratulating themselves, their hearts still palpitating with fear.
However.
Ssssh!
A pitch-black dagger pierced through the air, traversing space, appearing and disappearing, and executed the martial artists who had fled to a distance one by one.
Many martial artists were still pursued and killed by the Void Blade even after escaping four or five kilometers away.
That was because Ye Yunfei's Soul Power could currently sense a distance of five kilometers.
The distance his Soul Power could sense was the distance his flying swords could reach.
Within five kilometers was Ye Yunfei's attack range!
In front of the Tianyuan Sect's mountain gate, Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged, simultaneously controlling the Five Elements Spirit Swords and the Void Blade as he continued his massacre.
The lethality of the Five Elements Spirit Swords, the Void Blade, and the fifteen Shadow Beast Kings were all utterly terrifying.
"Hu Miao, go and gather the spoils of war.
Collect the spatial rings of all the dead who were at or above the Profound Realm."
Ye Yunfei instructed Hu Miao.
"Understood, Master."
Hu Miao transformed into a gust of demonic wind and charged out, beginning to gather loot from the battlefield.
This battle only concluded after half an hour.
Of the tens of thousands of martial artists, Ye Yunfei had slaughtered over half. Only a few thousand managed to flee in terror.
This time, forces from fifteen sects had come together.
In the end, the leadership of these fifteen sects, including their sect masters, were completely wiped out!
In this single battle, Ye Yunfei had effectively annihilated fifteen sects!
When the news spread, it caused an uproar. The entire Eastern Region was shocked!
"This Ye Yunfei has truly come into his own. At such a young age, he managed to wipe out fifteen sects in one go!
Such a battle record is truly astounding!"
"Even the monstrously talented youths from the major sects and great clans might not necessarily be capable of such a feat!"
…
Many people were discussing the name Ye Yunfei, the topic buzzing everywhere.
At this time.
Inside the Tianyuan Sect headquarters.
After returning to the headquarters, Ye Yunfei brought Elder Hao, Long Yingying, and the others out from the Mirage Tower.
Then.
Ye Yunfei went to the small peak where the Ye Family clansmen resided.
Retired Elder Ren, Sect Master Shi Zongyang, and all the other upper echelons of the Tianyuan Sect followed behind Ye Yunfei, their attitude one of utmost reverence.
When they recalled the scenes of Ye Yunfei laying waste to the enemy force outside the headquarters, these upper echelons were still profoundly shaken in their hearts.
"Fei'er, it's good that you're unharmed."
Ye Tianpeng was extremely happy.
When Ye Yunfei stood alone against tens of thousands of martial artists outside the Tianyuan Sect headquarters, Ye Tianpeng had been beside himself with worry.
Thankfully, Ye Yunfei later unleashed his divine might, nearly wiping out all the attackers.
"Our Ye Family is truly fortunate to have produced such a legendary prodigy!"
Several Ye Family elders gathered around Ye Yunfei, tears of excitement streaming down their faces.
"Father, how have our clansmen been this past period?"
Ye Yunfei asked.
"Every clansman has been cultivating diligently, making great progress.
Recently, a total of over ten clansmen have broken through to the Profound Realm.
Now, our Ye Family has twenty-five Profound Realm experts in total.
This is a level of prosperity we've never seen before!"
Ye Tianpeng said with a smile.
"It's far from enough.
Tell everyone to put in more effort; they must strive even harder.
Take these belongings. These are cultivation resources for the clansmen."
Ye Yunfei retrieved over a hundred spatial rings and handed them to Ye Tianpeng.
Hiss!
Ye Tianpeng took the over hundred spatial rings and checked them slightly. He was immediately so shocked he couldn't speak.
These hundred-plus spatial rings were packed with vast quantities of Spirit Crystals, spirit pills, spirit herbs, magical treasures, and various other types of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Piled up like small mountains, their numbers were simply beyond count.
Ye Yunfei's gains during this period had been enormous.
His wealth was already immensely abundant!
Next.
Ye Yunfei and the upper echelons of the Tianyuan Sect came to the conference hall in the headquarters.
"Everyone, the Tianyuan Sect may face even more trouble moving forward."
Ye Yunfei spoke.
"Ye Yunfei, starting now, the entire Tianyuan Sect, from top to bottom, looks to you as our leader.
We will follow your orders."
Retired Elder Ren said.
The other upper echelons all nodded.
Everyone understood that the Tianyuan Sect and Ye Yunfei were now bound together on the same ship.
Without Ye Yunfei, the Tianyuan Sect might not survive a single day.
"The Tianxuan Five Elements Divine Mountain Formation is to be kept active at all times.
Moreover, both the defensive and offensive functions of the formation are to be activated.
Once enemies come, attack them directly using the formation. Show no mercy.
Elder Ren, I'll teach you a method. If you bury these Spirit Crystals underground beneath each of the five main peaks, it can sustain the energy required for the formation's round-the-clock operation."
Ye Yunfei waved his hand, and over a dozen spatial rings flew to land before Retired Elder Ren.
Hiss!
After checking them, Retired Elder Ren was profoundly shocked.
These over a dozen spatial rings contained over a billion Spirit Crystals.
Back in Tianxiu City, the Spirit Crystals Ye Yunfei obtained from the Luohai Trading Company alone numbered in the billions!
"Also, tell everyone to be prepared.
If the situation becomes critical, we might have to evacuate the Tianyuan Sect headquarters at any time."
Ye Yunfei said.
"Evacuate?"
The Tianyuan Sect upper echelons were all taken aback.
"Correct.
The Tianxuan Five Elements Divine Mountain Formation can only withstand Saint Realm martial artists.
Once a True Manifestation Realm expert arrives, the formation will be unable to hold."
Ye Yunfei explained.
"If a True Manifestation Realm powerhouse truly does come, I fear, by then, even if we want to leave, we may not be able to."
Retired Elder Ren said with a bitter smile.
"Don't worry.
Even if a True Manifestation Realm expert truly arrives, I will lead all of you to safety."
Ye Yunfei stated plainly.
"Alright!
Ye Yunfei, with that promise from you, I am reassured!"
Retired Elder Ren nodded.
"Good. All of you, go and attend to your duties.
I am going to the Xiaoyao Pavilion."
Ye Yunfei stood up and said.
"Ye Yunfei, why are you going to the Xiaoyao Pavilion?"
Retired Elder Ren was startled.
"I'm going to annihilate the Xiaoyao Pavilion.
The Xiaoyao Pavilion has pledged allegiance to the Huangtian Sect and has been secretly monitoring me and the Tianyuan Sect."
Ye Yunfei replied.
Then.
Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei stepped onto a Five Elements Spirit Sword, shot into the sky, and sped rapidly towards the direction of the Xiaoyao Pavilion.
"The Xiaoyao Pavilion is finished."
Retired Elder Ren and the other Tianyuan Sect upper echelons watched Ye Yunfei's rapidly departing back and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
