"There is indeed no grievance between you and me, but there is one between you and him.
Years ago, I benefited from his kindness and promised to help him take revenge.
A promise made is not something I break."
Ye Yunfei stirred his thoughts and used Soul Power energy to simulate a form, causing it to appear beside him.
It was precisely the Crown Prince from the depths of the Sky Dragon Pond beneath the Guardian Academy in the Tianxuan Continent all those years ago!
"Elder brother!"
Upon seeing this form, the Second Prince could not help but cry out loudly, his eyes rimming red.
Only now did he finally believe that Ye Yunfei had indeed met his elder brother.
Because the form Ye Yunfei simulated not only had the Crown Prince's appearance but also perfectly mimicked the aura of his Soul Body, so lifelike it was astounding.
"You know him?
Where is he now?"
Upon seeing the Crown Prince, the Tianjiao King was overjoyed, because he knew the Xuanhuang Tower was most likely on the Crown Prince.
"Of course I know him.
It was he who entrusted me with coming here to kill you."
Ye Yunfei said indifferently.
Back then, Ye Yunfei had promised the Crown Prince that if he ever possessed sufficient strength in the future, he would avenge him.
With the strength Ye Yunfei possessed now, he could indeed help the Crown Prince take his revenge!
"Ye Yunfei, you are far too arrogant!
No matter what, you are merely a junior, yet you keep blathering about killing me. Do you truly think I'm easy to bully!
Tell me the Crown Prince's whereabouts immediately! Otherwise, you will regret it!"
The Tianjiao King's face darkened as he took a step forward, speaking coldly.
Over the years, he had consistently dispatched people to search for the whereabouts of the Crown Prince and the Second Prince. Aside from wanting to eradicate them completely, his main objective was actually the Xuanhuang Tower.
Moreover, he had received news that the Xuanhuang Tower was most likely on the Crown Prince.
Recently, his trusted subordinate had discovered traces of the Second Prince, leading him to dispatch large numbers of troops to hunt down the Second Prince everywhere.
He hadn't expected to now receive information regarding the Crown Prince as well.
Since Ye Yunfei knew the Crown Prince, the Tianjiao King decided to extract the Crown Prince's whereabouts from Ye Yunfei, then go and seize the Xuanhuang Tower back.
Because the Xuanhuang Tower contained the bloodline secrets of the Heavenly Serpent Clan. If he obtained it, his strength was bound to increase tremendously!
"And you, you little bastard. I didn't think you would dare to return to the Tianjiao Plane. Today is your death day."
The Tianjiao King's gaze swept towards the Second Prince as he said with a cold laugh.
"What qualifications do you have to make me regret anything?"
Ye Yunfei revealed an expression of disdain.
This Tianjiao King had only broken through to become a Heavenly Emperor not long ago. An early-stage Heavenly Emperor was hardly worth mentioning to Ye Yunfei.
"Jiao Tianqun, you beast less than a pig or a dog!
Back then, my father treated you like a brother. Who would have thought that for the sake of the clan chief position, you would collude with so many clan traitors, launching a sneak attack while my father was gravely injured and murdering him!
Jiao Tianqun, you will surely face retribution!"
The Second Prince's eyes had already been bloodshot upon first seeing the Tianjiao King, his killing intent like a tidal wave. Now, hearing the Tianjiao King's words, he could no longer suppress the murderous intent in his heart and roared with fury.
"Hahaha…
Now it's well-known that you, little bastard, are the true traitor of our Heavenly Serpent Clan!"
The Tianjiao King laughed wildly.
"Ye Yunfei, I know you have some strength, but coming here today to provoke me is walking right into the net!
You're dead for sure!
Because my reinforcements have arrived!"
The Tianjiao King's gaze turned to Ye Yunfei as he sneered.
The next moment.
Boom! Boom!...
One dark figure after another, each emitting terrifying auras, charged into the Tianjiao Plane.
All of them were Dark Faction Heavenly Emperor-level experts!
There were fully over twenty of them!
And all of them were perfected-stage Heavenly Emperors!
"What?
So many Heavenly Emperor experts!"
The Second Prince, Jiao Zhong, and the other two elders paled upon seeing so many Heavenly Emperor experts arriving so suddenly.
"Is that all you've got?"
Ye Yunfei, however, couldn't help but laugh in spite of himself.
One must know that in the Vermilion Bird Realm, Ye Yunfei had already slain dozens of Heavenly Emperors, most of whom were from the Dark Faction!
"Ye Yunfei, I know your greatest strengths are Mental Force energy and Formations!
Rest assured, since we dared to come, we already have ways to counter your Mental Force energy and Formations.
Once you can no longer unleash the power of your Mental Force and Formations, you are nothing before us."
One of the Dark Faction Celestial Emperiors declared in an icy voice.
"Oh?
You can counter my Mental Force energy and Formations?"
Ye Yunfei was taken aback.
In the Vermilion Bird Realm, Ye Yunfei had indeed used Formations to slay dozens of Heavenly Emperors.
Moreover, during that great battle, Ye Yunfei had relied on his Mental Force energy to fight those Heavenly Emperor experts with ease.
Therefore, the beings of the Dark Faction believed that Ye Yunfei's ability to slay dozens of Heavenly Emperors primarily stemmed from his proficiency with Mental Force energy and Formations!
"Correct.
The foundation of our Dark Faction is not something you can fathom.
Although Mental Force energy is rare and difficult to defend against, our Dark Faction possesses treasures that can counter it!"
That Dark Faction Heavenly Emperor expert said with a cold smile.
"Move!
The Revered One commands that capturing him alive is preferable!"
This Dark Faction Heavenly Emperor expert shouted sternly.
Boom! Boom!...
The more than twenty Dark Faction Heavenly Emperors and the Tianjiao King all erupted simultaneously, releasing torrential waves of energy pressure. In an instant, the entire Tianjiao Plane shook, and all living beings within this world trembled in fear.
More than twenty Heavenly Emperors erupting together—such a scene was too harrowing!
The Second Prince and Jiao Zhong and his companions stood beside Ye Yunfei, protected by his aura. Though they sustained no injuries, they could still feel a deep sense of terror.
"Second Prince, don't worry. With me here, they won't be able to harm a single hair on your heads," Ye Yunfei said to the Second Prince and the others.
"Young Master Ye, don't worry about us. Be careful yourself; they are numerous and powerful," the Second Prince said bravely, his voice trembling.
"Ye Yunfei, prepare to die!"
The Tianjiao King roared.
He had long ago led the Heavenly Serpent Clan to pledge allegiance to the Dark Faction, becoming a subordinate force.
If he had to face Ye Yunfei alone, he definitely wouldn't dare act. But now, with so many Dark Faction Heavenly Emperor experts coming to aid him, his confidence was brimming.
Rumble…
One of the Dark Faction Heavenly Emperor experts waved his hand. A white orb shot into the air, hovering mid-sky, releasing rolling white mist that instantly filled this expanse of heaven and earth.
"Ye Yunfei, this treasure is specifically designed to counter Mental Force energy!
Now, your Mental Force energy is utterly useless against us!"
That Dark Faction Heavenly Emperor expert declared triumphantly.
"And this is a Formation-Breaking Talisman!
Once I activate this talisman, you will be unable to deploy any formations within this space!"
This Dark Faction expert produced a black talisman paper, adding.
"Oh?
Is it that miraculous?
Very good. After I kill you, I'll study these two treasures thoroughly," Ye Yunfei said curiously, examining the white orb and black talisman.
"However, even without using Mental Force energy and Formations, I can still easily slay all of you."
Ye Yunfei sneered.
