Elder Ren finished speaking and handed a Message Jade Slip to Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei took it and activated it directly.
"I'm in Tianwu City, and experts from the Luohai Trading Company have eyes on me. Quickly inform our master."
Elder Zhang's voice came through the Message Jade Slip.
"Tianwu City, Luohai Trading Company. Heh, good. I'll go and see."
After listening, Ye Yunfei couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
"Ye Yunfei, do you need me to accompany you?"
Elder Ren asked.
"No need.
Take these resources and distribute them to the Ye Family and the Tianyuan Sect disciples for their cultivation."
Ye Yunfei flicked his fingers, and over a dozen spatial rings landed in front of Elder Ren.
Then.
Ye Yunfei took out a Flying Boat and entered it.
The Flying Boat trembled slightly and shot into the sky like an arrow, vanishing beyond the horizon in an instant.
One day later.
A Flying Boat streaked from the distance across the sky above Tianwu City and came to an instant stop.
Ye Yunfei stepped out of the Flying Boat, waved his sleeve to put it away, then descended step by step from the high sky, landing within Tianwu City.
Tianwu City was an extremely bustling metropolis. Its main streets teemed with carriages and people, shops lined both sides, and the clamor shook the heavens.
After inquiring, Ye Yunfei confirmed there was indeed a Luohai Trading Company branch in the city.
Ye Yunfei arrived before the gates of the Luohai Trading Company.
It was a tall, imposing building towering in the midst of the bustling market, appearing majestic and lofty.
"Patron, our company is not receiving customers today. Please come back another time."
As Ye Yunfei tried to enter, a guard reached out to block his path.
*Whack!*
Ye Yunfei sent a palm strike. The guard was sent flying through the air, spinning over a dozen times before crashing heavily onto the ground in the distance.
"How dare you, insolent madman…!"
More than a dozen guards rushed out, shouting as they charged towards Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei merely swept his right palm forward. A series of long-range palm forces thundered out like lightning.
*Pff! Pff! Thud!*
The dozen or so guards let out miserable screams as their bodies were blasted backward like cannonballs.
Each of their chests bore a deep, concave palm imprint, bleeding and mangled. They were dead on the spot.
"Who are you?! How dare you barge into our Luohai Trading Company and commit violence! Do you not hold our Luohai Trading Company in any regard?"
A middle-aged man in green robes rushed out. He had the strength of the mid-stage Saint Realm, his face filled with fury.
Ye Yunfei waved his hand, sending another palm force striking across the distance.
*Boom!*
As if hit by an ancient primordial beast, the middle-aged man was violently thrown back, spitting over a dozen mouthfuls of blood in quick succession. He finally crashed against a wall before slowly sliding down.
Ye Yunfei's current physical strength had already reached approximately one million eight hundred thousand jin. Every single move or gesture could unleash astonishing destructive power.
"Where is Elder Zhang? Hand him over now. Otherwise, I will slaughter everyone in your Luohai Trading Company."
Ye Yunfei said indifferently, his hands clasped behind his back.
"You…"
The green-robed man's face had gone deathly pale as he struggled to stand. Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, shock and rage warred within him.
*Sssshunk!*
A pitch-black dagger suddenly materialized, slashing through the green-robed man's throat.
Ye Yunfei, hands still behind his back, raised his foot and began walking up to the second floor.
"Who are you?! How dare you trespass…"
After only a few steps, another dozen or so guards appeared, brandishing weapons as they pounced on Ye Yunfei.
"Seeking death."
Ye Yunfei's gaze turned cold. His right hand swept out with a palm strike.
*Thud! Thud! Thud…!*
These dozen guards were all simultaneously struck, collapsing to the ground lifeless.
Not knowing whether Elder Zhang was alive or dead, Ye Yunfei was striking with pent-up fury. He held nothing back.
Under the perception of his Soul Power, Ye Yunfei had long since sensed that within the hall on the second floor sat over a dozen experts, likely the higher-ups of this Luohai Trading Company branch.
The doors to the second-floor hall were tightly shut.
"Zhang Zhe has been transported back to the headquarters and thrown into the death cell.
Once someone enters the death cell, there's no possibility of them ever coming out alive."
Inside the hall, a half-gray-haired elder sighed.
"To think that he and I joined the Luohai Trading Company together all those years ago. Over these years, he contributed quite a bit to the company's development.
Yet, to think he failed to uphold his integrity in his later years."
The elder continued to lament.
"Hmph!
Zhang Zhe brought this upon himself.
He actually colluded with Ye Yunfei, causing the death of the Third Young Master. Utterly traitorous!
No matter how great his past merits, the Chief Director would never let him go."
A burly man with a rough face snorted coldly.
"By capturing Zhang Zhe, Ye Yunfei is bound to come and cause trouble for our Luohai Trading Company."
A tall, slender man said.
"Even if Ye Yunfei doesn't come looking for us, our Luohai Trading Company will seek him out sooner or later.
Did you think the Chief Director would let the matter rest after his Third Young Master died?"
The burly man gave a cold laugh.
"That's true. The Chief Director doted on the Third Young Master immensely.
If something happened to him, the Chief Director would definitely seek revenge."
The slender man nodded.
"I hear Ye Yunfei's strength is not weak. Last time, when ten from the True Manifestation Realm went to capture him, he instead killed two of them.
We'd best be careful and take all necessary precautions."
A middle-aged woman, still bearing traces of former charm, said gravely.
"Haha... Azalea, you've always been the overly cautious type.
I think you're overthinking it.
No matter how formidable that Ye Yunfei is, he's ultimately just a junior. His capabilities have their limits.
I believe the legends exaggerated his abilities.
As for him not only escaping unscathed from a pincer attack by ten True Manifestation Realm experts but killing two in return...
That must be a misreport!
I suspect that those two True Manifestation experts were actually killed by his Protector Elders!"
The burly man laughed heartily.
"Hmm, that is indeed possible."
Upon hearing this, the others nodded one after another.
"Besides, our Luohai Trading Company has over twenty True Manifestation Realm experts stationed here.
While our strength may not compare to the great sects and clans of the Eastern Region, what is a mere Ye Yunfei to us?
If he dares to come, I will personally take the head from his shoulders!"
The burly man continued with a cold sneer.
His strength was at the late-stage Saint Realm. Rampant spiritual power surged through him, releasing a terrifying pressure of energy.
"Heh, you make a good point."
The others in the hall all nodded.
Right at that moment.
Suddenly, a series of pained screams rang out continuously from outside.
"What's happening?!"
Everyone in the hall paled and leaped to their feet.
*Boom!*
At that very moment, the hall's main door exploded, shattering into a cloud of dust.
Then, Ye Yunfei walked in, hands clasped behind his back.
"I will ask only once. Where is Elder Zhang?"
Ye Yunfei's eyes, sharp as frost-laden lightning, swept over the dozen or so executives in the hall as he demanded coldly.
"Ye Yunfei!"
The Luohai Trading Company executives guessed the intruder's identity simultaneously, their faces filled with extreme shock.
"Ye Yunfei, you have some nerve barging into our Luohai Trading Company!"
The burly man stepped forward and shouted sharply, unleashing the energy pressure of a late-stage Saint Realm expert that rumbled like thunder towards Ye Yunfei.
"Noisy."
Ye Yunfei clenched his right fist and performed the Art of Force Through Obstacle, sending a long-range fist strike through the air.
*RUMBLE…*
An intangible fist imprint, carrying terrifying, immense force, thundered forth like rolling thunder.
*Boom!*
The burly man's chest suddenly caved in, all his sternum bones shattered by the impact. He spewed over a dozen mouthfuls of blood mixed with shredded internal organs.
"You... You…"
The burly man stared at Ye Yunfei with terrified eyes, wanting to say something but finding no words.
Then, his body went limp, sliding down to the floor. Dead on the spot.
With a single, long-range fist strike, a late-stage Saint Realm expert was slain.
Deathly silence reigned within the hall.
The executives of the Luohai Trading Company all felt as if they had fallen into an icy cavern. Their entire bodies turned cold as they stared at Ye Yunfei with terrified eyes.
