Boom…
The entire City Lord's Manor was almost shaken.
Roar!
Snarls rose immediately, mixed with screams.
On the spot, seven of the relatively weaker young geniuses were forcibly seized by Ye Yunfei's pair of Giant Arms, had their cultivation sealed, and were teleported into the Phantom Tower.
Six remained—young geniuses of exceptionally monstrous strength who barely managed to hold their ground.
Ye Yunfei, the seven deacons, Hu Miao, and Huang Shang all attacked, surrounding those six young geniuses.
Among them, Huang Shang’s assault was the most bizarre and difficult to defend against.
He transformed into a faint, flickering shadow, suddenly appearing behind one of the young geniuses and spewing a large cloud of ghostly mist that enveloped him.
The young genius was shocked and enraged. He immediately sent a palm strike backward.
However, Huang Shang simply sank into the ground, merging with the earth, then reached out to grab the young genius's ankles and violently yanked him downward.
Never having encountered such a strange mode of attack before, the young genius was caught off guard, his feet sinking sharply.
Roar!
The young genius flew into a complete rage. All of his spiritual power erupted in a torrent, instantly forcing Huang Shang to hastily retreat far away.
Yet, just as the young genius prepared to burst out from the ground…
Ye Yunfei's gigantic fist, like a small hill, descended from the sky. Swift as lightning, he threw several consecutive punches, hammering the young genius completely underground, blood spurting from his mouth and nose, as if playing a game of whack-a-mole.
Then, Ye Yunfei's large hand scooped, pulling the young genius out from the ground, sealing his cultivation and teleporting him into the Phantom Tower.
Faster than words could describe.
Working together, Ye Yunfei, the seven deacons, Hu Miao, and Huang Shang had captured over half of the young geniuses seated at Fei Chengzhu's table in a mere few seconds!
Only four of the most monstrous ones remained!
They were He Tiange, Ouyang Wei, Xiao Qingwu, and Fengyun Yujie!
Each of these four young monsters possessed strength at the middle stage of the Mystic Liquid Realm. However, their true combat power allowed them to defeat ordinary Late Stage Mystic Liquid Realm cultivators!
Moreover, each of their reaction speeds was exceptionally fast.
Ye Yunfei realized it wouldn't be easy to capture these four young monsters in a short time.
“Catch the others! Be quick! Take as many as you can!” Ye Yunfei shouted lightly.
Thus.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei and the seven deacons turned, charging towards the other young geniuses within the City Lord's Manor.
For this night banquet, Fei Chengzhu had invited over two hundred young geniuses in total.
Dealing with the other young geniuses was much simpler.
Ye Yunfei’s two Giant Arms swayed like two massive flood dragons. With each grab, he snatched several people.
“Ye Yunfei, prepare to die!”
He Tiange and the other three monsters were boiling with rage. They activated their movement techniques and charged towards Ye Yunfei, intent on killing him.
However, with the Heavenly Shadow Robe activated, Ye Yunfei’s speed was incredibly bizarre; each step was a teleportation.
These four monsters chased desperately after Ye Yunfei but could never catch up. They couldn’t even touch the hem of his clothes.
Ye Yunfei simply ignored fighting them and focused on capturing the others.
“You punk!
My grandfather is the Grand Elder of the Tianyan Sect! If you dare touch me, I’ll have my grandfather kill you!”
A young man in a blue robe, staring at Ye Yunfei’s pair of monstrous flood dragon-like arms, turned pale with fright, his legs going weak as he screamed in panic.
“Oh?
Your grandfather is the Tianyan Sect’s Grand Elder?
Perfect, then. Get over here!”
Ye Yunfei’s giant hand grabbed the blue-robed young man in a single motion.
Originally, seeing that this blue-robed youth’s strength was only at the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, Ye Yunfei had thought him a minor character and hadn't planned to specifically go after him. Unexpectedly, the man announced his background himself.
In the blink of an eye, half of the young geniuses within the City Lord's Manor had been captured by Ye Yunfei and imprisoned in the Phantom Tower.
Because Ye Yunfei, the seven deacons, Hu Miao, and Huang Shang’s actions were all extremely swift, the entire process was actually very brief.
Counting from the start of the attack until now, only about a dozen breaths of time had passed!
Many people still hadn't even fully grasped the situation!
“Ye Yunfei!
I know it! It must be Ye Yunfei!”
Suddenly, someone shouted loudly.
Instantly, everyone else’s expressions drastically changed. They finally understood why this mysterious young man was so frantically capturing people!
“It’s Ye Yunfei!
Run!”
“Disaster! We’ve actually been targeted by Ye Yunfei!”
...
The remaining young geniuses were terrified out of their wits. They turned and desperately fled out of the City Lord's Manor.
“Ye Yunfei, you have some nerve!
How dare you capture the young geniuses I invited!”
At this moment, Fei Chengzhu’s face was ashen, utterly horrified, as he roared at Ye Yunfei in rage.
It must be known that for this night banquet, all the young people Fei Chengzhu had invited were either famous geniuses or youths of noble status from the four top factions.
Now, with such a major incident occurring and so many young geniuses falling into Ye Yunfei’s hands, how could he possibly explain this?
Initially, he had specially hosted this banquet to entertain the young geniuses of the four top factions, intending to curry favor with them and, by extension, with the four top forces of the Central Continent!
If he could truly ingratiate himself with these four top forces, then in the future, not many in the Central Continent would dare provoke him. His status within the Wutang Empire would likely skyrocket!
However, he never imagined something like this would happen now!
“Heh heh, City Lord Fei, come to think of it, I should thank you.
For gathering these young geniuses together.” Ye Yunfei laughed.
“You little thief Ye Yunfei, you deserve death!”
Fei Chengzhu, along with the high-level officials of the City Lord's Manor, lunged at Ye Yunfei like madmen.
However, Fei Chengzhu was merely a middle-stage Mystic Liquid Realm expert. To Ye Yunfei, he posed absolutely no threat whatsoever.
Ye Yunfei threw a single punch, forcing Fei Chengzhu and all the City Lord’s Manor’s higher-ups to retreat.
“Die, you little thief Ye Yunfei!”
He Tiange, Ouyang Wei, Xiao Qingwu, and Fengyun Yujie—these four young monsters—also charged at Ye Yunfei with all their might.
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei took a step back, directly putting distance between himself and the four of them.
Just at that moment.
Rumble! Rumble…
Five or six terrifying waves of energy pressure crushed down towards the City Lord's Manor from all directions.
Boom... rumble...
The City Lord’s Manor couldn't withstand it at all. It began to collapse, disintegrate. Bricks and tiles flew, mud and stones splattered.
The entire manor seemed to be at the center of a typhoon’s eye. Everything was crumbling, shattering, and then being ground into fragments.
The scene was utterly terrifying!
“Grotto-Heaven Realm experts have arrived!”
Ye Yunfei’s eyes narrowed involuntarily.
“Go!”
Ye Yunfei muttered softly without the slightest hesitation.
Ye Yunfei knew that if he waited until those Grotto-Heaven Realm experts closed in, his group might not be able to escape!
The seven deacons had been instructed by Ye Yunfei beforehand. Upon hearing his command, they immediately rushed over to him.
Ye Yunfei teleported them into the Phantom Tower.
Then, he directly dove into space and vanished.
“Stop, you little thief Ye Yunfei!”
Fei Chengzhu and his high-level officials charged forward again, trying to stop Ye Yunfei, but how could he possibly have the ability to do so?
“Over… it’s all over this time…”
Fei Chengzhu stared at the spot where Ye Yunfei had disappeared, his face ashen as he murmured to himself.
He could easily imagine just how furious the higher-ups of the four top factions would be with so many of their young geniuses captured by Ye Yunfei.
And he, Fei Chengzhu, would definitely be held accountable!
He Tiange, Ouyang Wei, Xiao Qingwu, and Fengyun Yujie, these four young monsters, each wore extremely gloomy expressions.
They had previously declared publicly that they could defeat Ye Yunfei with a single move.
But now, Ye Yunfei had come. He had captured so many people right in front of them, and the four of them had been completely powerless to stop it.
This was equivalent to a barefaced slap to the face!
