"Ye Yunfei is back!"
At this moment, everyone around erupted in excitement.
Everyone knew why the Xiao Sect members were targeting Wu Heishan and the others—it was because of Ye Yunfei.
Who would have thought that now, the man himself had returned.
Nearby, some figures hiding in the shadows immediately took out communication jade slips and began sending messages.
"Ye Yunfei, you actually dared to come back!"
The six Yuan Foundation Realm Late Stage experts were extremely shocked to see Ye Yunfei standing before them.
Over the past few days, rumors within the Xiao Sect had been circulating that Ye Yunfei had been jointly hunted by several top forces from Central Continent and had no chance of returning to Hudao Academy.
Who could have imagined that Ye Yunfei was now back.
Boom…
Ye Yunfei’s right palm suddenly swept out. The entire palm continuously enlarged and extended, slapping toward those six Yuan Foundation Realm Late Stage experts.
Slap…
Clear slapping sounds rang out as the bodies of those six Yuan Foundation Realm Late Stage experts shot backward like six cannonballs, flying into the distance.
Boom boom…
Six deep craters were smashed into the ground in the distance. Those six Yuan Foundation Realm Late Stage experts lay in the pits, bloodied and unconscious, their conditions unknown.
Hiss!
Gasps of shock immediately rose all around.
Especially those students from Ye Yunfei’s cohort—they were all dumbfounded, simply unable to believe what they had seen.
Defeating six Yuan Foundation Realm Late Stage experts in one move—to them, this was practically a deity-like feat.
"Boss is mighty!"
From behind, Wu Heishan was the first to shout.
"His strength has actually reached such a level."
Xiao Hui stared at Ye Yunfei’s back, her beautiful eyes flickering with astonishment.
Dugu Huan gazed at Ye Yunfei with even greater respect.
"Brother Ye is truly terrifying."
Yuan Dayong sighed.
"Tch! What's the big deal? Even if dozens more Yuan Foundation Realm experts came, the big pervert could defeat them all just as easily."
Only Wen Zi remained unimpressed, pursing her lips as she spoke.
Inside the Crystal Mine Minor World, she had witnessed Ye Yunfei defeating hundreds of Yuan Foundation Realm experts time and again, as easily as eating or drinking.
"Ye Yunfei, I heard that the leader of the Xiao Sect, Xiao Ziyang, and a large group of Xiao Sect experts have returned. You should be careful."
Xiao Hui stepped forward and said to Ye Yunfei.
"It’s fine. They’ve returned just in time. I can settle all this trouble at once."
Ye Yunfei nodded in reply.
"Ye Yunfei, don’t underestimate them. It’s said that Xiao Ziyang has already reached the Mystic Liquid Realm."
Xiao Hui was somewhat worried.
"Oh. I know."
Ye Yunfei answered casually.
"You…"
Seeing Ye Yunfei brush it off so carelessly, Xiao Hui couldn’t help but feel exasperated.
This guy—how could he be so fearless!
"Big pervert, I thought you might not come back, making me come check every day."
Wen Zi said to Ye Yunfei.
"How could I not come back?"
Ye Yunfei laughed.
"Your training progress during this period has been quite good. Each of you has improved. However, it’s still not enough—you can’t even defeat these trash."
Ye Yunfei swept his gaze over Wu Heishan and the others, then pointed at the six Yuan Foundation Realm Late Stage experts lying in the craters as he spoke.
"Boss is right. We must train even harder. Boss, the Starry Sky Great Method you taught me is amazing. I’ve realized I’ve fallen in love with cultivation now!"
Wu Heishan immediately chimed in.
"Boss, haven’t I become much more handsome and dashing lately? Ever since I started cultivating the Starry Sky Great Method, my confidence has skyrocketed!"
Wu Heishan struck what he thought was a cool pose as he said this.
"Eh? Brother Wu, now that you mention it, I do feel like your aura has indeed become much more handsome and radiant."
Yuan Dayong remarked.
In fact, cultivating the Starry Sky Great Method truly could cultivate a noble and sacred aura.
"Get lost!"
Ye Yunfei almost wanted to kick Wu Heishan flying.
"Big pervert, you’re a Seed Student now. You can go to the Seed Student area and choose a peak to live on. I’ve already picked one out for you. Let me take you there now."
Wen Zi said.
"Wait a moment. Let me deal with some trouble first."
Ye Yunfei swept his gaze into the distance as he spoke.
The next moment.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh…
Scores of fierce figures shot over from the distance.
In the blink of an eye.
A large group of murderous individuals arrived.
At the forefront was a handsome young man with fair, jade-like skin glowing softly.
Beside him stood two other young men with arrogant expressions.
All three were Mystic Liquid Realm experts!
"Xiao Ziyang, Tang Tianhao, Zhuge Xing! Heavens, the three great Vajras of the Xiao Sect have all come!"
"I finally get to see the legendary top three experts of the Xiao Sect!"
"All three are veteran Seed Students of the academy, and all are Mystic Liquid Realm experts!"
…
As these three young men appeared, waves of astonished discussions erupted all around.
One could say that the moment these three young men showed up, they immediately became the center of attention.
Behind these three young men followed hundreds of Xiao Sect members, their ranks stretching on imposingly.
With a rush…
In no time, hundreds of Xiao Sect members surrounded Wu Heishan’s small courtyard completely, sealing it off tightly.
At the same time.
More and more students, having received the news, rushed over one after another.
Within moments, the surrounding area was densely packed with students—both new and old.
"Ye Yunfei has repeatedly challenged the Xiao Sect. Today, Xiao Ziyang has finally come to settle scores with him!"
"Although Ye Yunfei’s combat prowess is quite impressive, the three great Vajras of the Xiao Sect are all Mystic Liquid Realm experts. Ye Yunfei couldn’t possibly be a match for them."
"Of course not. How could Ye Yunfei possibly contend with the three great Vajras of the Xiao Sect? The only thing worth watching is how Xiao Ziyang will punish Ye Yunfei—injure him, cripple him, destroy his cultivation, or kill him? We’ll find out soon enough."
"Sigh! Actually, for a new student like Ye Yunfei to possess such strength, he truly is a monster. It’s a pity he provoked the Xiao Sect…"
…
Nearby, many students lowered their voices, whispering among themselves.
Inside the small courtyard, Ye Yunfei stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze coldly sweeping over the Xiao Sect forces and the three young men at their head.
One was at the Mystic Liquid Realm Mid Stage.
Two were at the Mystic Liquid Realm Early Stage.
Against such strength, Ye Yunfei naturally felt no pressure.
The three Xiao Sect experts stood arrogantly, their cold eyes fixed on Ye Yunfei.
The one in the center was Xiao Ziyang, a Mystic Liquid Realm Mid Stage expert.
The other two were Tang Tianhao and Zhuge Xing.
These three Mystic Liquid Realm experts were known as the three great Vajras of the Xiao Sect.
It was precisely because of these three that the Xiao Sect qualified as the most powerful student organization within Hudao Academy!
Rumble…
All three Mystic Liquid Realm experts released their oppressive auras, enveloping Wu Heishan’s entire small courtyard. Surging spiritual energy churned, darkening the sky and stirring up dust and stones.
"Mystic Liquid Realm experts truly are formidable!"
Nearby, students who were relatively close paled in fear and scrambled backward desperately.
Inside the small courtyard.
Dugu Huan, Wen Zi, Xiao Hui, Wu Heishan, and Yuan Dayong stood behind Ye Yunfei, all finding it difficult to breathe. Their bodies felt heavy, as if three great mountains were pressing down upon them.
Ye Yunfei’s body gave a slight tremor, releasing a wave of power.
Immediately, the five of them—Dugu Huan and the others—felt the pressure vanish entirely and couldn’t help but sigh in relief.
At that moment.
Deep within Hudao Academy.
Streaks of powerful Soul Power extended toward Wu Heishan’s small courtyard, sensing the situation.
Xie Changkong, the six Guardian Elders, Dean Shangguan, Dean Zhou, and other Grotto-Heaven Realm experts had all become aware.
"Xiao Ziyang is preparing to make a move against Ye Yunfei. Should we intervene?"
One Guardian Elder spoke.
"No need. Those three alone are no match for Ye Yunfei."
Dean Shangguan said.
"Let’s do this. If Ye Yunfei is in danger, we’ll intervene to save him. If Ye Yunfei can handle it on his own, we’ll stay out of it."
Xie Changkong proposed.
"But what if Ye Yunfei wins? Given Ye Yunfei’s temperament, if he prevails, his attacks might be extremely fierce and merciless. What if he injures Xiao Ziyang—the Xiao Clan might seize the opportunity to stir up trouble."
Another Guardian Elder said.
"Hmph! Sooner or later, those forces will make a move against our Hudao Academy anyway. Since that’s the case, what do we have to fear? If Ye Yunfei injures Xiao Ziyang, we’ll ignore it. If the Xiao Clan wants to cause trouble, let them come."
Xie Changkong sneered coldly.
