"Have mercy! I'll talk! Young Master Ye, please don't kill me, I'll tell you! Besides me, several dozen others have also defected to the Lingxiao Sect. From now on, they will report our Alliance Army's every move to the Lingxiao Sect."
At this moment, Ma Xiu was utterly terrified and screamed out desperately.
"Damned fool!"
Seeing this scene, rage surged within the hearts of every high-ranking member of the Lingxiao Sect. Ma Xiu had clearly stated his surrender to the Lingxiao Sect, effectively making him one of their own. Yet, here he was, being held in Ye Yunfei's hand and forced to talk. This was equivalent to a slap to the Lingxiao Sect's face. Even more unbearable for them was the fact that Ma Xiu couldn't hold his nerve for long and was capitulating so quickly.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Immediately, several Lingxiao Sect elders released their Soul Force Energy, intending to attack Ma Xiu's Soul Body and kill him. However, Ye Yunfei easily blocked all these energies.
"Young Master Ye, aside from me, there are also Su Hua, Wu Han..."
Seeing the Lingxiao Sect elders trying to kill him, Ma Xiu was scared witless. Finding no favor on either side now, and in his panic, he blurted out several dozen names in one breath. Each time he named someone, a face in the ranks of the Alliance Army would drastically change color, and that person would immediately try to flee towards the Lingxiao Sect elders.
But the surrounding Alliance Army members quickly intercepted them.
"Young Master Ye, I've revealed all the traitors I know of. I'm speaking the truth, without any concealment. Young Master Ye, I only chose to surrender because I couldn't withstand the pressure from the Lingxiao Sect! I was forced! Now, I'm willing to return to the Alliance Army, to atone for my crimes with meritorious service. Please spare my life, Young Master Ye!" After finishing his list, Ma Xiu begged Ye Yunfei loudly for mercy.
The next moment.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Several powerful strands of Soul Force Energy surged through the air, crashing towards Ma Xiu's Soul Sea. "Young Master Ye, save me!" Ma Xiu was frightened out of his wits, knowing the Lingxiao Sect elders were trying to kill him again.
"My Alliance Army is not a trash collection station. You will never have a chance to return to our ranks," Ye Yunfei said coldly. As he spoke, he released his own Soul Force Energy, blocking the incoming attacks aimed at Ma Xiu.
"This piece of trash is yours now. Avenge yourselves however you see fit." With a wave of his hand, Ye Yunfei threw Ma Xiu before Zhang Qiang, speaking indifferently.
"Scum Ma Xiu! Didn't expect you'd have today, did you?" Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Zhang Qiang immediately rushed forward, grabbed Ma Xiu, and roared.
"Beat him to death! He gave us endless torment not long ago! I want to whip him to death, lash by lash!"
"Right! Find that whip of his. Give him a taste of his own medicine!"
…
The other Alliance Army members who had suffered Ma Xiu's abuse and torture all swarmed around, shouting curses and pointing fingers at him.
"These few dozen traitors are yours to deal with," Ye Yunfei stated coldly.
"As per Young Master Ye's order, we will handle these traitors! Everyone with a grudge, get your payback!" Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the Alliance Army members swiftly surrounded and attacked the traitors whose names Ma Xiu had revealed. These Alliance Army members were all the ones who had previously been detained at Lingxiao Sect Headquarters. They had endured countless humiliations and tortures during their time here. Now, they finally had a chance to vent.
Soon, every traitor named by Ma Xiu was beaten to death on the spot.
During this process, a few Heavenly Gods from the Lingxiao Sect tried to step forward and rescue their betrayed allies from the Alliance Army's wrath, but Ye Yunfei forced them all back with single punches.
"That feels damn good! I couldn't stand these traitors long ago. Colluding with the Lingxiao Sect, harming our own people in the Alliance Army—they are scum less than pigs and dogs." After killing all the traitors, the Alliance Army members all felt immense satisfaction and excitement. Having suffered endless humiliation and torment in the Lingxiao Sect headquarters these past days, today they finally felt they had ruthlessly vented their pent-up fury.
"Young Master Ye, the Lingxiao Sect people looked down on our Alliance Army. Those Lingxiao Sect beasts often insulted us, saying our Alliance Army was a garbage-like minor force, not even worthy of tying their shoes. They said everyone in our Alliance Army was destined to be slaves. One day, they would capture all of us to serve them as beasts of burden, for generations without reprieve," a Primary True God said to Ye Yunfei. Like Yuan Hua and Zhang Qiang, this Primary True God held a minor commander position among this batch of Alliance Army troops, with a slightly higher status than Yuan Hua and Zhang Qiang.
"Rest assured. They will soon pay for what they've done. You've suffered during this time. These are medicinal pills for recovery. Take and use them," Ye Yunfei said. He took out a large batch of pills and handed them to the Earth Demon Clan Ancestor for distribution, then slowly turned to face the Lingxiao Sect elders.
Every high-ranking member of the Lingxiao Sect had a grim expression.
"Sect Leader, it seems this brat is unwilling to let this go easily," the Lingxiao Sect Grand Mage transmitted his voice to the Sect Leader.
"Since he refuses to be used by us, there's no need to keep him alive either," the Lingxiao Sect Leader's gaze began turning icy and dangerous.
"Now, tell me together. Back then, who were the ones who bullied our Alliance Army members? Point them out for me. You point, I'll kill," Ye Yunfei said slowly.
"Young Master Ye, let me start. That fellow over there, surnamed Lin, seems to be an ordinary elder of the Lingxiao Sect. It was him who led a large group to detain our Alliance Army members. At the time, our Alliance Army was preparing to leave Lingxiao Sect Headquarters, but he stopped us," Zhang Qiang immediately pointed at a Lingxiao Sect Heavenly God and shouted loudly.
This was a Initial Heavenly God, standing behind Elder Fang. He was Elder Fang's trusted aide.
"Seeking death!" Seeing Zhang Qiang pointing at him, the Initial Heavenly God's expression darkened as he spoke coldly.
Suddenly, he saw a blur of astonishing speed flash towards him, instantly appearing right in front of him. It was Ye Yunfei. Then, he felt terrifying power flooding towards him, overwhelming.
It turned out that the moment Zhang Qiang pointed out this Initial Heavenly God, Ye Yunfei had already utilized his physical strength to rush before him at an incredible speed.
"Dare to bully our Alliance Army? Die!" Ye Yunfei said coldly.
"Brat, this is, after all, the headquarters of our Lingxiao Sect. We won't allow you to run wild here," the Initial Heavenly God said, his face pale with fear as he retreated continuously under the terrifying physical force radiating from Ye Yunfei.
"I don't care what crap Lingxiao Sect this is. Those who dare to bully my Alliance Army deserve death," Ye Yunfei roared. He threw a punch. The fist continuously expanded, erupting with rolling divine light. Terrifying physical strength directly suppressed a vast area of space ahead, sealing everything within, including that Initial Heavenly God, as if frozen in a static picture.
This punch was the Spatial Lock Fist!
"How can this brat be so strong?" The Initial Heavenly God was horrified to find his body could no longer move, not even a finger.
"How audacious!"
"Outrageous!"
"Halt!"
…
Seeing Ye Yunfei suddenly erupt into action, every high-ranking member of the Lingxiao Sect was infuriated.
By this time, Ye Yunfei's fist had already landed on that Initial Heavenly God's shoulder. The terrifying physical strength had completely subdued him. Then, Ye Yunfei extended his hand, yanked his Soul Body out from his Soul Sea, and proceeded to separately seal both his physical body and Soul Body.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As Ye Yunfei sealed the Initial Heavenly God's Soul Body and physical form, wave after wave of astonishing attacks roared towards him from behind. At this moment, at least five or six Heavenly Gods from the Lingxiao Sect attacked Ye Yunfei simultaneously from behind. Among these five or six Heavenly Gods, three were Initial Heavenly Gods, two were Intermediate Heavenly Gods, and there was even one Advanced Heavenly God.
Attacks of a terrifying, Heavenly God-level intensity instantly caused the space where Ye Yunfei stood to tremble violently like a sieve.
Ye Yunfei instantly turned around. His movement speed was indescribable. His eyes showed neither sorrow nor joy, only utter calm. His right hand clenched into a fist and struck out.
With a rumble, a massive golden fist imprint instantly materialized, rolling forward like a colossal mountain, blocking all incoming attacks.
"Everyone, be careful! This brat's greatest strength is his physical power. The advantage of physical strength lies in close-quarters combat. So, everyone maintain distance and attack from range! Also, use various Daos to seal this area of space. That should restrict his physical abilities!" a core elder of the Lingxiao Sect shouted loudly. This core elder had lived an extremely long life and possessed immensely rich combat experience.
Hearing this core elder's words, the other Lingxiao Sect high-ranks instantly scattered, surrounding Ye Yunfei in layers. Then, all the Heavenly Gods began unleashing the Daos they had cultivated and comprehended.
Rustle… rustle…
One invisible Dao law chain after another vibrated constantly within this void space, like many long snakes rapidly moving and intertwining, beginning to seal this area of space.
Moments later, this space was filled with various different Dao laws. The entire space felt at least dozens of times heavier.
Looking at the Heavenly Gods encircling him, Ye Yunfei's gaze remained calm, a hint of contempt at the corner of his mouth.
"Who else? Point them out, one by one," Ye Yunfei said flatly.
"Young Master Ye! And that guy! I personally saw him kill over a dozen of our Alliance Army members, and they were all tortured and beaten to death! That guy is extremely savage, a true beast!" An Alliance Army member pointed at a man standing behind the ranks of Lingxiao Sect elders, saying furiously.
"That's right. I did kill people from your Alliance Army. So what?" The man, an Advanced True God, sneered coldly as soon as someone pointed him out, feeling emboldened since Ye Yunfei was currently being besieged by five or six Lingxiao Sect Heavenly Gods.
"Ah! What... what are these bugs? They're eating my Soul Body! Sect Leader! Elders! Save me!" Just after speaking, the man's face twisted with terror as if he'd seen a ghost, and he began to scream.
He suddenly discovered that several thousand bugs emitting an eerie aura had appeared in his Soul Sea. As soon as these bugs emerged in his Soul Sea, they immediately began devouring his Soul Power and his Soul Body. In practically an instant, nearly half of his Soul Power was consumed, rendering him utterly unable to put up any resistance.
