"Little bastard Ye Yunfei, what more do you have to say for yourself!"
After the disciples of the Fengyun Family had finished pointing their accusations, Fengyun Wan's gaze locked onto Ye Yunfei as he shouted harshly.
"That's right.
The people from your Fengyun Family—I killed them, I crippled them. And the things on their persons, I took them too.
Moreover, the people from the Xiao Clan, Tianyan Sect, and Shenfeng Sect, it was the same; I was the one who made the move.
The fact that I didn't wipe out every single person from your four factions should already count as mercy."
Ye Yunfei gave a cold laugh.
"You little bastard!
You are far too arrogant!"
Upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Fengyun Wan, Xiao Mingguo, Wu Fangxuan, and Xi Junchang flew into an even greater towering rage. The spiritual pressure emanating from their bodies surged like a tide, sweeping imposingly toward Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei's body sank slightly under the pressure.
However, with a slight vibration of his physical strength, Ye Yunfei dissolved the force.
His performance caused Fengyun Wan and the other three Mystic Liquid Realm experts to feel somewhat surprised.
Normally speaking, a mere True Manifestation Realm cultivator facing the energy pressure of four Mystic Liquid Realm experts would likely be instantly suppressed until vomiting blood and sustaining severe injuries.
Yet, Ye Yunfei appeared completely at ease.
"Fang Nanjie, you heard this little bastard's words too.
He has admitted with his own mouth to harming the disciples of our four factions. I'm afraid that even if your Hudao Academy's Jie Changkong came, he wouldn't be able to protect him!
Hand this little bastard over to us immediately, to be dealt with by us.
Moreover, your Hudao Academy must give our four factions a satisfactory explanation.
Otherwise, this matter is far from over!"
Xiao Mingguo roared furiously at Elder Fang.
"Hahaha... Old thing like you, how dare you still have the face to say such words.
You want Hudao Academy to give you an explanation?
In my opinion, it should be your four factions that need to give Hudao Academy a proper accounting!"
Before Elder Fang could even reply, Ye Yunfei already sneered and spoke.
"Little bastard, what did you just say!
We should give Hudao Academy an accounting?!"
Xi Junchang and the other three Mystic Liquid Realm experts trembled with rage upon hearing Ye Yunfei's words.
"That's right.
Each of your four factions should give Hudao Academy a proper explanation!"
Ye Yunfei declared.
As soon as the words fell, Ye Yunfei retrieved a Recording Jade Slip and directly activated it.
This jade slip could record both sound and images.
Swoosh!
Ye Yunfei activated the Recording Jade Slip, and a burst of radiance spurted from within, forming a glowing screen.
"Don't kill me, I'll answer, I'll answer..."
On the screen, a young man with the strength of the late Yuan Foundation Realm was trembling in fear, speaking in a terrified voice.
Ye Yunfei stood before this youth with his hands clasped behind his back.
Surrounding them were a large group of other young men and women.
"Very well, tell me, why did your Xiao Clan people attack those from our Hudao Academy?"
On the screen, Ye Yunfei asked coolly.
"It was the order from our Xiao Clan's higher-ups!
Before entering, an elder of the clan instructed us to cooperate with members of the Fengyun Family, Shenfeng Sect, and Tianyan Sect, to look for opportunities to make a move against Hudao Academy people.
That elder also told us to find a way to capture you alive and force you to reveal..."
The late Yuan Foundation Realm youth spilled it all out like beans poured from a bamboo tube.
This scene had indeed occurred within the Crystal Mine Minor World.
At that time, over seventy disciples of the Xiao Clan were chasing down a dozen or so Hudao Academy students, and by chance, Ye Yunfei encountered them.
Ye Yunfei made his move, employing the Sky Soul Sword, silently killing four Xiao Clan youths with late Yuan Foundation Realm strength in an instant. The remaining Xiao Clan disciples were terrified into immobility and obediently answered Ye Yunfei's questioning.
Even within the Crystal Mine Minor World, Ye Yunfei had foreseen that such a situation would occur upon exiting.
Thus, Ye Yunfei had long ago secretly used Recording Jade Slips to record these scenes.
Having cultivated for millennia in his past life, his experience was vast and his mind astute.
How could he not have anticipated a scenario like this?
"Old thing surnamed Xiao, he should be one of your Xiao Clan people, right?
Would you care to explain his words?
Why, even before entering the Crystal Mine Minor World, had your four factions already cooperated to attack our Hudao Academy people?"
Pointing at the Xiao Clan youth on the glowing screen, Ye Yunfei sneered as he asked.
"You little bastard, this is something you fabricated!
Give that jade slip to me for inspection, and we'll know if it's true or false!"
Xiao Mingguo had never anticipated such a turn of events. His expression changed dramatically, and he moved like lightning, charging towards Ye Yunfei in an attempt to seize the jade slip from his hands.
Ye Yunfei was already prepared. Activating the Sky Shadow Robe, he retreated a great distance in an instant.
"Haha, old thing, you want to destroy this Recording Jade Slip?
It's no problem, I've already made several dozen copies!
Destroying this one won't make a difference."
Ye Yunfei sneered.
"Elder Fang, I can testify that the events recorded on Junior Brother Ye Yunfei's Recording Jade Slip are all true!
The Xiao Clan people hunted us down without reason, killing several dozen of our Hudao Academy students.
Fortunately, the dozen or so of us who remained encountered Junior Brother Ye Yunfei and narrowly escaped disaster!"
Those dozen or so students whom Ye Yunfei had rescued from the Xiao Clan forces all began to speak out one after another.
"Xiao Mingguo, please give me an explanation.
Why did your Xiao Clan issue orders to attack our Hudao Academy students even before entering the Crystal Mine Minor World?"
Elder Fang took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on Xiao Mingguo as he asked solemnly.
"Hmph!"
Xiao Mingguo snorted coldly, knowing this matter could no longer be denied. He simply chose not to answer.
"So, old thing surnamed Xiao, what kind of explanation do you still want from our Hudao Academy?
Your Xiao Clan people brazenly attacked and chased down our Hudao Academy students. Are we not allowed to fight back and kill them in return?
Are we not allowed to retaliate? Should we just stand there motionless and let your Xiao Clan people slaughter us?"
Ye Yunfei mocked coldly.
"And you three old bastards!
Open your dog eyes and take a good look!"
Ye Yunfei stretched out a hand and retrieved over a dozen Recording Jade Slips, sneering as he spoke.
"Stop that little bastard from acting!"
Fengyun Wan's expression shifted. He knew these dozen-plus Recording Jade Slips must contain many recordings disadvantageous to their four factions.
"Haha, can you stop me?"
Ye Yunfei activated the Sky Shadow Robe, directly vanishing into space.
When he reappeared, he was already standing high in the sky at a distance.
Then, Ye Yunfei simultaneously activated over a dozen Recording Jade Slips.
Scene after scene played continuously.
They all contained images of how disciples from the Fengyun Family, Xiao Clan, Shenfeng Sect, and Tianyan Sect had hunted down Ye Yunfei, chased Hudao Academy students, and also scenes of Ye Yunfei interrogating disciples from these four factions.
All the footage proved one thing: the disciples of these four factions had consciously sought opportunities to make moves against Hudao Academy students.
In particular, the scene of fifteen Yuan Foundation Realm strength disciples from the Fengyun Family surrounding, ambushing, and attacking Ye Yunfei was also played.
"Have you seen enough?
Now, shouldn't your four factions give our Hudao Academy a satisfactory explanation?"
Finally, Ye Yunfei collected all the Recording Jade Slips and sneered at Xiao Mingguo and the others, speaking up.
