Rumble…
Finally, the entire City Lord's Manor completely crumbled to pieces.
Many people within the estate were caught in the aftermath, meeting a tragic death.
"It's over... this time, it's truly over..."
Fei Chengzhu gazed at the City Lord's Manor that now resembled a wasteland of ruins, his eyes vacant as he murmured to himself.
At this moment, he was filled with such deep regret, hating himself for hosting this evening banquet to entertain those so-called young geniuses.
Whoosh...
Six elderly men with grim expressions descended slowly, releasing their Soul Power to scan every inch of this space meticulously, searching.
These six old men were all Grotto-Heaven Realm experts.
They had detected the disturbance at the City Lord's Manor and rushed over immediately, only to find they were still a step too late.
No matter how they scanned, they could not detect the slightest trace of Ye Yunfei!
"Fengyun Chi, Fengyun Xiao, Xiao Qianfeng, Wei Wuji, Lan Tiangang, Diao Liang!"
Nearby, someone recognized the identities of these six Grotto-Heaven Realm experts and couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath.
Every single one was renowned and awe-inspiring throughout the Central Continent!
Now, to deal with a junior, they had all come to Tianjin City simultaneously.
It could be said that to deal with Ye Yunfei, the four top forces of the Central Continent were truly mobilizing considerable forces!
"That little beast has already fled."
One of the Grotto-Heaven Realm experts said with a dark expression.
The other five all nodded.
"Yujie, come here. Tell us exactly what happened."
An elder looked at Fengyun Yujie and spoke.
"Yes, Elder Fengyun Xiao."
Fengyun Yujie hurried over and recounted in detail what had transpired at the City Lord's Manor tonight to these six Grotto-Heaven Realm experts.
"Little beast Ye Yunfei, when I catch you, I will skin you alive and pull out your sinews!"
The elder named Fengyun Xiao said through gritted teeth.
"Six seniors, tonight's incident is all my fault..."
At this moment, Fei Chengzhu gathered his courage and cautiously approached.
"Get lost!"
One of the elders coldly barked.
Boom…
A terrifying pressure of spiritual energy, like an iron hammer, blasted towards Fei Chengzhu.
"Argh!"
Fei Chengzhu let out a miserable scream as his body was sent flying, crashing down hundreds of meters away. Whether he lived or died was unknown.
The other people around shuddered in fear, none daring to utter another sound.
A moment later.
The six Grotto-Heaven Realm experts rose into the air and vanished in an instant.
Only after these six Grotto-Heaven Realm experts had left did the onlookers surrounding the City Lord's Manor finally heave a sigh of relief, feeling the oppressive weight lift.
"That Ye Yunfei is truly formidable!
To actually capture so many young geniuses right under the noses of so many Grotto-Heaven Realm experts!"
"Just his daring and courage alone are unmatched!"
…
Soon, the surrounding crowd of onlookers began to discuss fervently.
Time flew by.
Night passed in the blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, many martial artists began to converge towards the Tianjin Mountain Range.
The forces of the Fengyun Family, Xiao Clan, Shenfeng Sect, and Tianyan Sect assembled together like four great torrents, surging mightily into the Tianjin Mountain Range.
Additionally, a large number of affiliated forces under these four top powers volunteered, organizing their own personnel to join the hunt.
After all, these four top powers dominated the Central Continent and even the entire Tianxuan Continent; countless weaker forces relied on them for survival.
Coupled with the large number of martial artists drawn by the news to watch the spectacle, the crowd gathered within the Tianjin Mountain Range now numbered close to ten thousand, certainly in the high thousands.
"Search!
See where that little thief Ye Yunfei is located!"
"Find Ye Yunfei!"
…
As soon as they entered the Tianjin Mountain Range, the troops of the four top powers and those of their affiliates dispersed, spreading out and searching from the outer areas towards the depths.
One could see sharp figures streaking across the sky like locusts swarming past.
Powerful waves of Soul Power swept out like a carpet search, moving from the outside in towards the depths of the Tianjin Mountain Range.
"What a grand sight!
Who would have thought that a mere junior could make the four top forces of the Central Continent go to such lengths!"
"Indeed, this Ye Yunfei commands respect!"
…
Many of the martial artists who had followed to watch the spectacle couldn't help but whisper their admiration.
Meanwhile, within the Tianjin Mountain Range.
In a certain lush mountainous area.
Numerous peaks stood tall, rolling and undulating.
Ye Yunfei, the seven deans, and over a hundred students stood atop one of the highest peaks.
"Ye Yunfei, they're here!"
One of the deans, watching the dense swarm of figures sweeping towards them from afar, nervously swallowed and said to Ye Yunfei.
Subconsciously, the seven deans and the hundred-odd students all edged a bit closer to Ye Yunfei.
Although they knew this mountainous area had been heavily fortified with formations,
the thought of the main forces of those four top powers arriving, with Grotto-Heaven Realm experts undoubtedly among them, made the seven deans and students extremely nervous. Their fists clenched tightly, palms slick with sweat.
"Don't be nervous.
We will be fine."
Ye Yunfei said.
Just then.
"Over there!
Found him! Ye Yunfei is over there!"
"It is him, I can see him too!"
…
Finally, Ye Yunfei's group had been discovered.
"Damn it!
We've finally found that little thief Ye Yunfei!"
"Forward!
Surround him. This time, we absolutely cannot let him escape again!"
…
Immediately, the forces of the four top powers and their affiliates surged forward from all directions, surrounding the peak where Ye Yunfei stood.
"Let's all rush up at once and capture that little thief Ye Yunfei first!"
Teams of people rushed towards the peak Ye Yunfei stood on like wolves and tigers.
A cold smile played on Ye Yunfei's lips as he formed a hand seal with his hands and lightly stomped his foot.
Boom…
Suddenly, the peaks and mountaintops began to shake violently.
A total of one hundred and eight great formations simultaneously manifested.
These grand formations resonated with each other, their energies interlinked, forming a protective wall that tightly safeguarded the peak Ye Yunfei stood upon.
Moreover, interspersed among these grand formations were numerous Illusion Formations, appearing and disappearing like multicolored soap bubbles.
"Aaaargh…"
With the appearance of these one hundred and eight formations, some among the forces charging towards Ye Yunfei were instantly reduced to mincemeat by the formations' energy.
Others were thrown back, either injured or maimed.
Another portion became trapped within those Illusion Formations, charging around recklessly and screaming in terror, unable to find a way out.
"Though the One Hundred and Eight Heavenly Stars and Earthly Fiends Grand Formation is only a lower-tier formation, it is sufficient to deal with these people."
Ye Yunfei nodded in approval.
"Hu Miao, the Illusion Formations you set up are also quite powerful."
Ye Yunfei's gaze swept around, and he couldn't help but praise.
He saw several dozen Foundation Establishment Realm martial artists trapped in the Illusion Formations, completely disoriented.
Even one expert at the early Profound Liquor Realm was ensnared by an Illusion Formation!
"Of course they are."
Hu Miao said proudly.
This sudden change caused the troops following behind to pale with fright, no longer daring to charge towards Ye Yunfei.
