"Well struck!"
"Ye Yunfei has vented our anger for us!"
…
In the distance, many new students who were watching the scene muttered their approval.
Several of these onlookers had also been robbed by that group of older students earlier. Seeing Ye Yunfei strike that senior student, they all felt a deep sense of satisfaction.
"Hand over everything you have on you, then get lost."
Ye Yunfei's gaze swept over the remaining senior students as he spoke calmly.
"What?!"
Upon hearing this, the older students were stunned.
All along, only senior students robbed new students.
Never had a new student dared to rob senior students.
How could this new kid be thinking of robbing *them*?
"Kid, you are too bold!
How dare you rob us!"
A tall, heavyset man roared angrily.
*Slap!*
Ye Yunfei swung his hand back and delivered a palm strike from a distance, landing squarely on the man’s face.
*Thump!*
The man was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood mixed with over a dozen teeth.
This man was only at the late-stage Saint Realm.
If Ye Yunfei hadn’t held back, a single flick of his finger would have been enough to finish him.
"You..."
The remaining older students stared at Ye Yunfei with panicked eyes.
His combat power was simply terrifying.
"Kid, you just wait!
Let's go!"
Not daring to stay any longer, the older students supported their two injured companions who were sprawled on the ground and prepared to leave.
"Did I say you could leave?
If you don’t hand over everything you have, don't even think about walking away."
Ye Yunfei sneered.
"Kid, we are members of the Xiao Sect! How dare you rob us! Aren’t you afraid of provoking the Xiao Sect's wrath?!"
One of the senior students yelled indignantly.
*Slap!*
Ye Yunfei flicked his hand, sending another palm strike from a distance.
*Thump!*
That senior student was immediately sent flying.
"I don’t care what lousy Xiao Sect you're from.
Now, shall I do it myself, or will you obediently hand over your belongings?
If I have to do it myself, you won't escape another round of physical punishment."
Ye Yunfei said coldly.
The group of senior students felt utterly aggrieved and furious, but the combat prowess Ye Yunfei had displayed completely cowed them.
In the end, these dozen-odd senior students obediently took out everything valuable they possessed and handed it all over to Ye Yunfei before they were allowed to leave.
"Ye Yunfei actually robbed those senior students!"
In the distance, the observing new students were each thoroughly shocked.
"Let's go back."
Ye Yunfei led Wu Heishan and the two siblings, Xiao Hui, back to the small courtyard.
"Ye Yunfei, those senior students just now seemed to be from an organization called the Xiao Sect.
Since you attacked them, I'm afraid they won't let it rest," Xiao Hui said with worry.
"It doesn't matter.
When the enemy attacks, we defend; when floods come, earth dams hold them back."
Ye Yunfei replied faintly.
"Exactly!
With boss here, there's nothing to fear!"
Wu Heishan said.
"Hudao Academy is a top-tier academy on the Tianxuan Continent.
It's sure to be a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, teeming with experts. We shouldn't underestimate it.
Since we're new here, it's better to stay as low-key as possible."
Xiao Hui advised.
"When others are already bullying us, how can we stay low-key? Xiao Hui, don't boost the enemy's morale.
Don't worry, if those people dare to come again, boss here will guarantee to beat them until they're routed and beaten!"
Wu Heishan said with a curl of his lip.
* * *
At that moment.
On one of the mountain ridges within Hudao Academy, inside a grand hall.
"Senior Brother Ning, you must uphold justice for us!
That new student named Ye Yunfei is too arrogant.
Not only did he attack people, but he also robbed us of everything we had!"
In the hall, the dozen-odd senior students who had just been robbed by Ye Yunfei were tearfully making their complaints.
Seated upon a high seat in the center of the hall was a tall, slender young man.
Additionally, several dozen other students stood on either side of him.
If any other students of Hudao Academy were here and saw this young man, they would surely feel a chill in their hearts and dare not provoke him.
That was because this young man was a core member of a very powerful student organization within Hudao Academy: the Xiao Sect.
Within Hudao Academy, competition between students was permitted, even encouraged. Consequently, various student organizations had naturally been born.
The Xiao Sect was a very powerful student organization within Hudao Academy.
It was founded single-handedly by Xiao Ziyang, a peerless monster ranked in the top ten of the academy's Hidden Dragon Ranking.
It was said that Xiao Ziyang hailed from the Central Continent’s Xiao Clan. The Xiao Clan was a reclusive, powerful clan, one of the top families on the Tianxuan Continent, with truly terrifying strength.
However, over these years, Xiao Ziyang, the leader of the Xiao Sect, along with some of its other powerful members, had either gone into seclusion or ventured out for training.
Currently, the Xiao Sect was managed by this Senior Brother Ning.
"Hmph. A mere new student who just entered the academy dares to attack our Xiao Sect’s people? What sheer audacity.
It seems our Xiao Sect has been lying too low recently.
So much so that within Hudao Academy, people are starting to forget our existence," Senior Brother Ning in the hall slowly began to speak.
"By the way, did you announce our Xiao Sect's name to him?"
Senior Brother Ning asked.
"Yes.
I made it perfectly clear to that kid that we were from the Xiao Sect.
Yet, he called our Xiao Sect a 'lousy Xiao Sect' and didn't take us seriously at all."
A man whose right cheek was badly swollen, front teeth missing, and whose speech was garbled due to the injury replied hatefully.
His face had been struck by Ye Yunfei.
"Hehe...
Very good. A newcomer dares to insult our Xiao Sect in his words.
Truly doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth," Senior Brother Ning couldn't help but let out a cold laugh upon hearing this, his gaze turning icy.
"Send someone immediately to cripple that kid.
Let everyone know that our Xiao Sect is not to be insulted!
Furthermore, take this opportunity to properly show these new students how formidable our Xiao Sect is.
Our Xiao Sect also needs to absorb some fresh blood."
Senior Brother Ning commanded.
"Senior Brother Ning, that new student Ye Yunfei has a savage temper, and his combat power is somewhat fearsome. He might not be easy to handle."
One of the senior students said.
"Nonsense!
He's just a newcomer. Even if he has some ability, how strong can he possibly be?"
Senior Brother Ning waved it off disdainfully.
Subsequently, Senior Brother Ning dispatched several dozen members of the Xiao Sect, marching with fierce momentum toward the new student residential area.
Leading them were five cultivators at the Early Stage True Manifestation Realm.
"To deal with a single new student, Senior Brother Ning actually sent all five of us? Is this necessary?
It's truly using a broadsword to kill a chicken."
One of the True Manifestation Realm cultivators grumbled.
"Forget it. Senior Brother Ning is just being cautious. Let's consider it a stroll."
Another True Manifestation Realm cultivator advised.
"What do you know.
Senior Brother Ning arranged it this way precisely because he wants our Xiao Sect to appear more high-profile.
This is the same as killing a chicken to scare the monkeys, letting everyone know our Xiao Sect is not to be trifled with."
Yet another True Manifestation Realm cultivator said.
"Well said."
The others all nodded in agreement.
