Taking a deep breath, Ye Yunfei punched towards the blood-colored spear.
At the same time, his Void Blade and five spiritual swords also slashed forward.
At this moment.
Every ounce of his spiritual power and physical strength was unleashed without reserve.
He gave his all!
Rumble…
An unimaginable explosion of energy erupted.
The space where Ye Yunfei stood was completely engulfed by surging forces.
Bang!
Ye Yunfei’s body was sent flying backward.
Shoom!
The blood-colored spear pierced through Ye Yunfei’s chest, right where his heart was, and emerged from his back.
Boom!
Ye Yunfei’s body crashed to the ground in the distance, soaked in blood.
“Ye Yunfei is finally dead!”
At that moment, many people shook their heads and sighed.
“Huh?
Where’s Ye Yunfei’s corpse? It’s disappeared!”
Suddenly, someone shouted.
Everyone looked. Indeed, Ye Yunfei’s body was nowhere to be seen!
“Search!”
A dozen or so Tianyou Tomb assassins were the first to charge forward, searching for any trace of Ye Yunfei.
Then.
The eleven high-ranking members of the Luohai Trading Company also rushed towards the spot where Ye Yunfei had landed.
As for the three hundred knights, their auras were now feeble, their bodies exhausted. They slumped atop their demon horses, appearing severely drained.
After feeding the array with their vitality, these knights no longer had the strength to fight. They urged their demon horses one by one, galloping out of the city.
Within moments, they had vanished without a trace.
“Search the city!”
Ren Xuantang, still in Luohai City, issued an order. Immediately, all the personnel of the Luohai Trading Company began scouring every corner of the city.
Luohai City was the headquarters of the Luohai Trading Company; there were many members. Although Ye Yunfei had killed many earlier, plenty remained.
However.
No matter how thoroughly the Tianyou Tomb assassins and the Luohai Trading Company forces searched, they found no sign of Ye Yunfei.
It was as if Ye Yunfei had suddenly evaporated before everyone's eyes.
“That brat’s heart was pierced. Even if a Golden Immortal descended from the heavens, they couldn't save him now!
Let's go!”
One of the Tianyou Tomb assassins let out a cold shout.
Then, all the Tianyou Tomb assassins vanished without a trace.
“True enough.
That wretched little thief’s heart was struck. He is doomed.
Even if he’s still clinging to a thread of life and managed to flee temporarily, there’s no way he can survive.”
In the end, Ren Xuantang also ordered the search to cease.
Then.
His gaze swept slowly across the entirety of Luohai City. Seeing the blood-soaked corpses everywhere, the scattered limbs and broken flesh littering the ground, rivers of blood flowing—he couldn't help but tremble slightly with fury.
“I never imagined that despicable thief Ye Yunfei could inflict such devastation upon my Luohai Trading Company.
And now he dies just like that. He got off too easy!”
Ren Xuantang said through gritted teeth.
“Chief President, do not be distressed.
Now, that despicable thief Ye Yunfei is dead.
Our Luohai Trading Company has suffered some losses.
But, given the financial strength of our company, recovering our vitality will not be difficult.”
A senior elder said.
“Haha…
You’re right.
How could a single brat possibly bring down my Luohai Trading Company! Impossible!”
Ren Xuantang laughed loudly.
For him, although the Luohai Trading Company had lost many people, Ye Yunfei was dead. The greatest threat was gone. It wouldn’t be long before the Luohai Trading Company could regain its former strength.
This outcome was acceptable to Ren Xuantang.
“Who would have thought that Ye Yunfei, a man feared throughout the land, would die just like that.”
“This Ye Yunfei suddenly burst onto the scene recently and shook the entire Eastern Region. It seems that as swiftly as he rose to fame, so too has he fallen.”
...
Within Luohai City, the crowds of onlookers gradually dispersed, but discussions could be heard everywhere.
Very soon, what had transpired in Luohai City spread through the entire Eastern Region at an astonishing speed.
After all, Ye Yunfei was a name to reckon with in the Eastern Region, having become the focus of attention multiple times.
News about Ye Yunfei seemed to travel especially fast.
“What?
Ye Yunfei was killed?
How is that possible!”
“Last time, ten experts of the True Manifestation Realm were deployed, along with Grand-class magic treasures, yet they couldn’t kill him. He even killed two of them in retaliation.
And now, this time, he was actually killed?”
“Is this news true?”
...
Everyone, upon first hearing the news, found it hard to believe.
But quickly, more details of the events in Luohai City began to circulate.
Particularly the detail of Ye Yunfei being struck through the heart by the blood-colored spear was spread repeatedly.
“In that case, it looks like Ye Yunfei really is dead!”
“What a pity. A young man who could make such a name for himself in the Eastern Region was no ordinary person!”
“I heard that at the time, Ye Yunfei alone suppressed the entire Luohai Trading Company, leaving them utterly helpless and disgraced.
Truly an exceptional individual!”
...
Finally, all the people of the Eastern Region came to believe that Ye Yunfei was indeed dead.
“Haha… excellent, excellent! That wretched little thief Ye Yunfei died wonderfully!”
Those factions that held grudges against Ye Yunfei laughed heartily, one after another.
The Three Saints, the Five Great Clans, and the Nine Sects—these major sects and clans had almost all, at one time or another, crossed paths with Ye Yunfei.
Especially the Chen Clan, which regarded Ye Yunfei as a mortal enemy.
Upon receiving the news of Ye Yunfei’s death, the entire Chen Clan celebrated as if it were a festival.
The news reached Divine Medicine Valley.
“How could this be?!
Young Master Ye… he actually died?!”
The Valley Lord and all the other senior elders were utterly dismayed, slumping into their chairs as if their souls had departed.
“Valley Lord, what should we do now?”
One senior elder asked the Valley Lord.
“Do about what?”
The Valley Lord replied.
“Our Divine Medicine Valley formed an alliance with the Great Qin Empire's Tianyuan Sect entirely because of Ye Yunfei.
Now that Ye Yunfei is dead, is it still necessary for our Divine Medicine Valley to maintain relations with Tianyuan Sect?”
The senior elder asked.
“For now, everything remains as it was.
Let all matters wait until our Patriarch emerges from seclusion before making any decisions.”
The Valley Lord thought for a moment and then spoke.
The news reached the Xia Manor in Qingxia City.
“What?!
Young Master Ye Yunfei… he’s dead?...”
Upon receiving the news of Ye Yunfei’s death, Xia Feiyan froze on the spot, tears silently streaming from her beautiful eyes.
“Xiao Yu, did you hear clearly?
Young Master Ye possesses great strength. How could he possibly die?
Are you sure you didn’t mishear?”
Xia Feiyan, her eyes filled with tears, looked at Xiao Yu as she asked.
She desperately hoped this news was false.
“Good, good!
That kid is finally dead.
From now on, I won't have to live in constant fear anymore.
Attendant, send someone immediately to bring Tianli back to the Xia Manor!”
Xia Feiyan’s father, Xia Tiancheng, was overjoyed, loudly ordering a servant.
At this time.
The news had also reached Tianyuan Sect.
“How could this be?!”
When all the senior elders of Tianyuan Sect heard the news of Ye Yunfei’s death, they were utterly dumbfounded.
Each of them remained stupefied for a long time, unable to utter a single word.
“Impossible!
My son, Yunfei, would never die. I refuse to believe it!”
Upon hearing the news, Ye Tianpeng staggered backward dozens of steps before finally collapsing into a master’s chair. After a moment of stunned silence, he suddenly let out a fierce roar.
