The Central Continent, Shenfeng Sect Headquarters.
The headquarters of the Shenfeng Sect, much like the Hudao Academy, occupied a vast area.
It was equivalent in size to several medium empires combined.
At this moment, atop a certain graceful mountain peak, a dozen or so Shenfeng Sect disciples had gathered.
"Good news! Elder Mo has approved our request to return to the Eastern Region to visit our families!"
One blue-robed young man exclaimed excitedly.
"Since we joined the Shenfeng Sect, the higher-ups in the sect have looked upon us very favorably, directly making us core disciples.
This proves that leaving Hudao Academy and joining the Shenfeng Sect was an absolutely correct decision,"
A man whose robe was embroidered with a giant azure serpent spoke up.
"Hmph!
The higher-ups at Hudao Academy, including Xie Changkong and the six Guardian Elders, were all seriously injured.
And they are being ostracized and oppressed everywhere by the other top forces. It's estimated they won't last much longer.
Only a fool would stay there now,"
A yellow-robed man sneered.
"By the way.
Aside from approving our trip back to the Eastern Region, Elder Mo gave us a task.
That is, to exterminate the Tianyuan Sect, the members of the Ye Family, and anyone or any force related to Ye Yunfei.
For this, Elder Mo specifically assigned Senior Brother Xi to accompany us."
The blue-robed young man said.
"You're saying, Senior Brother Xi Feng is coming back to the Eastern Region with us?"
The others gasped upon hearing this.
Xi Feng was one of the Shenfeng Sect's monstrous talents, ranking third on the sect's Divine Wind Ranking!
A middle Mystic Liquid Realm expert!
"That's right.
It's indeed Senior Brother Xi Feng,"
The blue-robed young man said, his face full of admiration.
"This time, when we return to the Eastern Region, we must take good care of Senior Brother Xi Feng and ensure he's satisfied!"
The yellow-robed man said.
"Hehe… Actually, two days ago, I already sent the news of Ye Yunfei's death back to the Eastern Region.
Perhaps, before we even return, the experts of our Chen Clan will have already exterminated the Tianyuan Sect and the Ye Family,"
The man with the giant azure serpent embroidered on his robe suddenly sneered.
"What a coincidence, I also sent the news of Ye Yunfei's death and the declining power of Hudao Academy back to the Eastern Region two days ago.
I estimate my Thunder Clan's experts have already started moving as well,"
A youth with faint flashes of lightning around him also spoke.
"Haha, that's too coincidental, I also sent the news back to our Xiao Clan!"
"I sent the news back to the Tianhuang Sacred Land too!"
…
The others burst into hearty laughter.
"In that case, we don't even need to take action ourselves. The Tianyuan Sect and the Ye Family are probably already being wiped out!
Enough, our main task for this trip back to the Eastern Region is to curry favor with Senior Brother Xi Feng and make sure he has a good impression of us disciples from the Eastern Region!"
The blue-robed young man laughed loudly.
"By the way, is Qin An going back?"
Suddenly, someone asked.
"No.
Qin An is different from us.
Qin An possesses a Heavenly Spirit Body. He caught the attention of the Grand Elder, who has taken him in as his personal disciple. He's currently in seclusion cultivating.
His future prospects are far greater than ours,"
The blue-robed young man shook his head.
For a moment, everyone was extremely envious of Qin An.
"Alright.
Let's contact Senior Brother Xi Feng immediately and prepare to depart."
The blue-robed young man said.
At the same time.
A green carriage flew across the lands of the Central Continent, leaving it behind as it headed towards the Eastern Region.
An old servant sat cross-legged at the front of the carriage, controlling it.
This old servant was none other than Fengyun Jue.
Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged inside the carriage.
To avoid drawing attention, Ye Yunfei had specifically instructed Fengyun Jue to change the carriage's color to green, no longer black.
If it were still black, an old servant with a black carriage—such a combination traveling across the Central Continent would likely cause someone to recognize it as belonging to Master Liuyun instantly.
This carriage was a low-grade Cosmic Artifact, a very high level item.
Coupled with the Crimsonfire Demon Horse, their speed was incredibly fast.
Quicker than the average flying vessel.
"Master, I've broken through to the first level of the Grotto-Heaven Realm,"
Fengyun Jue said to Ye Yunfei, extremely excited.
"Good."
Ye Yunfei gave a slight nod.
Fengyun Jue was an experienced late Mystic Liquid Realm expert; his accumulation at that realm was already sufficiently deep.
After consuming the Treasure Pills Ye Yunfei gave him, breaking through to the first level of the Grotto-Heaven Realm was an easy matter.
"Master, we should be able to reach the Eastern Region in about six or seven days."
Fengyun Jue reported.
"Mhm."
Ye Yunfei gave another slight nod.
"Hu Miao, you've been in seclusion this whole time. How are the results?"
Ye Yunfei suddenly remembered Hu Miao and asked.
"Master, during this period, my strength is at a critical stage of transformation.
If I can break through, I estimate I will possess power equivalent to a mid, or even a late Mystic Liquid Realm cultivator,"
Hu Miao answered.
"Mhm, very good.
How is the injury within your body?"
Ye Yunfei asked.
Previously, Hu Miao had been suppressed in the back mountains of the Tianyuan Sect headquarters for several hundred years, suffering significant injuries, with the loss of her demonic power essence being quite severe.
"My injuries have recovered roughly sixty to seventy percent,"
Hu Miao replied.
"Good.
I'll refine some more Treasure Pills for your recovery, so your injuries can heal faster."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Old Huang, your alchemy level needs a good boost.
Otherwise, in the future, you won't be of much help to me in matters of alchemy."
Ye Yunfei said to Huang Shang.
"During this time, I've been diligently cultivating my alchemy techniques. I'm already a first-rank Treasure Pill Master.
Of course, I can't compare to you."
Huang Shang said with a bitter smile.
He had discovered that Ye Yunfei's alchemy level was simply unfathomable, impossibly high!
That scene at the Alchemy Tower headquarters, where Ye Yunfei forced Dan Jun to lower his head in defeat, still shook Huang Shang to the core.
"I'll pass you another alchemy manual.
Study it well, strive to quickly improve your alchemy level.
A first-rank Treasure Pill Master, such a level is literally worse than garbage."
Ye Yunfei said. With a thought, he sent a mysterious and profound alchemy manual into Huang Shang's Soul Sea.
Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Huang Shang couldn't help but give a wry smile, having no retort.
Calling a first-rank Treasure Pill Master worse than garbage—such words, probably only Ye Yunfei could utter them in the entire Tianxuan Continent.
At the same time.
The Eastern Region.
Chen Clan Headquarters.
Inside a palace.
A group of Chen Clan higher-ups sat solemnly within the hall.
"Everyone, I have received some good news sent back from the Central Continent by Xuan'er!
Ye Yunfei has been assassinated and killed!"
A grey-robed elder declared loudly.
"Is it true?
That's excellent!
That little bastard is finally dead!"
"Haha…
Truly, heaven has eyes!
That little bastard, he who does too much evil is bound to perish. Indeed, even heaven couldn't stand the sight of him and took him away!"
…
Immediately, the Chen Clan higher-ups all laughed heartily, feeling a great sense of relief.
Back in the day, Ye Yunfei, single-handedly, blocked the entrance of the Chen Clan headquarters and slayed over forty True Essence Realm experts of the Chen Clan in one go.
He even forced the six patriarchs of the Chen Clan to back down and sue for peace.
In the end, the Chen Clan even paid a huge sum in compensation to Ye Yunfei.
This incident was a tremendous humiliation for the Chen Clan!
Every member of the Chen Clan harbored a deep-seated hatred for Ye Yunfei in their hearts.
However, Ye Yunfei's strength was formidable, and he had joined the Central Continent's Hudao Academy.
How would the Chen Clan dare seek revenge?
Later, tales of Ye Yunfei's monstrous deeds in the Central Continent spread back to the Eastern Region, filling the people of the Chen Clan with dread and even greater fear towards Ye Yunfei.
They could only hide their hatred for Ye Yunfei deep within their hearts.
Who would have thought, they now suddenly received news of Ye Yunfei's death!
Naturally, they felt immense satisfaction.
"From now on, mobilize all our forces against the Tianyuan Sect and the members of Ye Yunfei's family!
As well as the Luohai Commercial Guild and the Divine Herb Valley!
In short, exterminate everyone and every force related to Ye Yunfei!
Even if that little bastard Ye Yunfei is dead, the debt he owes our Chen Clan is far from paid!
It must be repaid with the blood of his family, his sect, his friends and relatives—everyone and everything connected to him!"
The grey-robed elder spoke coldly, his words icy, brimming with thick killing intent.
