‘Stop! Young man, what are you doing!’
In the distance, the people of the patrol squad, seeing Ye Yunfei’s actions, suddenly had a bad feeling and shouted in alarm.
Boom!
Over two million jin of physical strength swept through the air and struck the city wall.
The thick, sturdy wall, along with its two massive bronze gates, shattered and collapsed as if they were mere tofu.
Countless massive stones, rubble, and tile fragments shot outwards like hail, densely smashing into the Chen Clan headquarters.
Boom! Boom!
Inside the Chen Clan headquarters, the ground shook violently, and many beautiful buildings were destroyed by the falling stones. Many people were smashed into a pulp.
The terrifying force of the punch, its momentum undiminished, transformed into a billowing hurricane of energy akin to a Category 12 typhoon. It surged mightily, sweeping deep into the Chen Clan’s territory. This storm of energy only gradually faded after several moments.
The area near the main gate within the Chen Clan headquarters was a scene of utter devastation. Trees were snapped, houses had collapsed, and cries of anguish rose like ghostly howls, mingled with furious roars.
Before Ye Yunfei, the towering city wall where the gate had stood was now completely gone, reduced to crumbled ruins.
This was no joke. With over two million jin of physical strength, collapsing a section of wall was child's play.
‘You… you…’
Behind Ye Yunfei, not far away, the members of the patrol squad stared in shock, their eyes locked on him as if they had seen a ghost.
Was this still human?
The patrolmen suspected they were dreaming, utterly unable to believe what they were witnessing.
‘What happened?’
‘Alert! An enemy is attacking!’
‘Roar! Who dares to be so bold, to come and cause trouble at my Chen Clan!’
...
The Chen Clan headquarters erupted into chaos. One figure after another, sharp and imposing, rushed out from various corners.
Not only the headquarters, but the entire Chen City was stirred by the huge commotion. Countless people ran towards the eastern part of the city, wanting to see what had happened.
Ye Yunfei stood with his hands clasped behind his back before the Chen Clan’s main gate, his expression cold and indifferent.
Hu Miao stood beside him.
‘Who dares?!’
At this moment, a group of people shouted as they rushed out from the headquarters.
This group all possessed Saint Realm cultivation. They were members of the Chen Clan’s Enforcement Hall, normally responsible for security within the headquarters. Upon hearing the disturbance, these members were the first to charge out.
‘Esteemed Enforcement Hall sirs, it was these scoundrels who did it! Seize them immediately!’ The patrol squad members immediately pointed at Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao.
‘Ignorant fools who don’t cherish their lives!’
Killing intent surged as the Enforcement Hall members charged at Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao.
Hu Miao acted first.
Bang!
Rampant demonic aura spread out like a deep and boundless ocean.
Hu Miao’s movements unfolded gracefully, each posture and strike manifests a captivating yet deadly beauty, concealing fearsome demonic power within.
Thud! Thud!
In the blink of an eye, all the Enforcement Hall members were sent flying by Hu Miao, crashing painfully onto the ground in the distance and groaning.
How could a group of mere Saint Realm warriors possibly be a match for Hu Miao?
‘Quick, report! The strength of this scoundrelous pair is terrifying! Request reinforcements!’ The fallen Enforcement Hall personnel hurriedly took out communication jade slips to send messages.
By now, crowds of onlookers had gathered from all directions. Everyone was utterly shocked.
To think someone dared to cause trouble at the Chen Clan’s headquarters!
Not only injuring Chen Clan members, but also collapsing a section of the city wall!
This was the most severe provocation against the Chen Clan!
‘That pair is far too bold, don’t they want to live?’
‘Could they be mad for fame? Provoking the Chen Clan like this, isn’t it like digging a grave in the shadow of a mighty lion?’
‘Just wait. Once the real experts of the Chen Clan appear, their fate will be a terrible one.’
...
Everyone buzzed with discussion, feeling intensely amazed.
‘Who dares to offend my Chen Clan? Die!’
From within the Chen Clan headquarters, another large group, seething with killing intent, rushed out. The upper echelons of the Chen Clan had received the report and were mobilizing forces to deal with Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao. From within the headquarters, various squads poured forth.
‘Master, leave this to me,’ Hu Miao said.
‘Fine.’ Ye Yunfei nodded slightly, his hands still clasped behind his back.
Hu Miao was a grand demoness of her generation. Though trapped for centuries and not yet fully restored to her former peak, dealing with Saint Realm and even True Manifestation Realm cultivators presented no problem whatsoever.
‘Die!’
With a sharp cry, Hu Miao charged forward. Two demonic force-conjured fox claws swept out, smashing several Chen Clan members to pieces.
Roar! Roar!
During the intense fight, a few Chen Clan members had azure giant pythons surge from their heads, roaring as they pounced to kill Hu Miao.
Only the direct bloodline descendants of the Chen Clan possessed the Devouring Heaven Python bloodline, and even then, the concentration varied greatly from person to person.
‘Hah, a few dead snakes trying to show off in front of me.’ Hu Miao was disdainful.
A surge of demonic power blasted over, utterly pulverizing those azure giant pythons.
It had to be remembered—the Primordial Heavenly Fox bloodline was, without a doubt, superior and more exalted than that of the Devouring Heaven Pythons!
Moreover, these Chen Clan scions before her possessed only trace amounts of python blood. Hu Miao herself *was* a Primordial Heavenly Fox, possessing the purest, undiluted heritage.
For these Chen Clan disciples to display their bloodline power before her was laughably like showing off one’s meager skills in the face of a true master.
Slash! Slash!
One Chen Clan member after another had their bodies pulverized by Hu Miao, blood and viscera scattering through the air. In mere moments, several hundred people had been slain by Hu Miao. Most of these casualties were at the Saint Realm!
Hisss!
This scene made all the onlookers suck in cold breaths of shock.
What shocked them was not only Hu Miao’s fearsome combat prowess but, even more so, her ruthless cruelty. She dared to slaughter so many Chen Clan members!
This meant an irreconcilable feud, a fight to the death with the Chen Clan! This was one of the Five Great Clans of the Eastern Region!
For countless years, when Chen Clan members traveled through the Eastern Region, who would not fear them, who would dare show disrespect?
Yet today, someone dared to directly murder their way to their doorstep like this!
‘Heavens! A major event is happening! This is an earth-shattering matter!’
‘That pair will face the Chen Clan’s sky-high wrath!’
...
Shocked exclamations rose constantly.
‘Who has the gall to provoke my Chen Clan in such a manner?!’
Suddenly, a figure radiating sharp aura shot out from within the Chen Clan headquarters like a thunderbolt.
It was a grey-robed elder with mid-stage True Manifestation Realm strength. His movement technique was incredibly fast, bringing him before the crowd in an instant.
Ye Yunfei’s gaze swept over him, and he couldn’t help but sneer coldly.
He had seen this grey-robed elder before.
At the valley near the Tianyuan Sect headquarters, ten True Manifestation Realm experts had set up layer upon layer of formations, forcing Ye Yunfei into the valley to save someone, using the opportunity to surround and kill him.
One of those ten had been this grey-robed elder.
During that ambush, the Chen Clan had sent two True Manifestation Realm experts. One was killed by Ye Yunfei. The other was this grey-robed elder before him.
‘Ye Yunfei! It’s you, Ye Yunfei! You… you’re actually not dead?!’ The grey-robed elder also recognized Ye Yunfei at a glance, his face full of disbelief.
The Chen Clan had always believed Ye Yunfei was certainly dead after the battle in Luohai City. They never imagined Ye Yunfei would appear again now, and directly come to attack their headquarters!
‘I’m not dead. Must be a disappointment for your Chen Clan,’ Ye Yunfei said with a cold smile.
‘Ye Yunfei, what exactly do you intend by coming to our Chen Clan headquarters?!’ The grey-robed elder’s expression began to change as he questioned harshly.
In Luohai City, over twenty True Manifestation Realm experts and three hundred Heavenly Python Cavalry had failed to kill Ye Yunfei. This clearly demonstrated the terrifying extent of his power. Although this elder was a mid-stage True Manifestation Realm expert, he was likely no match for Ye Yunfei.
‘Since I didn’t die, naturally, I’ve come to settle accounts with your Chen Clan,’ Ye Yunfei stated plainly.
‘What account do you want to settle? On that day in Luohai City, those who surrounded you were the Luohai Trading Company, the Tianyou Tomb, and that mysterious group of knights. What does that have to do with my Chen Clan?’ the grey-robed elder replied stiffly.
‘Hah… Really just a ‘mysterious group of knights’, is it? To think the dignified Chen Clan of the Eastern Region dares to act but fears to take responsibility. How lamentable. How laughable.’ Ye Yunfei threw his head back and laughed heartily.
‘Ye Yunfei, what do you mean? Do you truly think our Chen Clan is an easy target for bullying?’ the grey-robed elder exploded in fury.
‘That’s right. Today, I’ve come precisely to bully your Chen Clan!’ Ye Yunfei declared calmly, hands behind his back, exuding infinite, domineering presence.
