"Ye Yunfei…"
The City Lord of Sanye City froze for a moment, feeling like he had heard that name somewhere before.
"City Lord, it's said that a few months ago at Hujie City, there was a young man from our Tianxuan Continent who single-handedly slew fifteen alien prodigies in a row. The name of that young man was apparently Ye Yunfei."
A brocade-robed elder beside him suddenly spoke up.
"So it's him! No wonder!"
The City Lord of Sanye trembled, staring in shock at the direction where Ye Yunfei had departed.
***
At this moment, high in the sky, a flying ship was rapidly heading towards the Eastern Region.
"The situation in the Eastern Region is probably similar to the Southern Frontier. I wonder how the Tianyuan Sect headquarters is doing now.
In truth, I should have brought everyone from the Ye Family and the Tianyuan Sect back to the Hudao Academy headquarters."
Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged inside the ship, a little worried.
Although Ye Yunfei had already set up many formations at the Tianyuan Sect headquarters, and even had Feng Yun jue, who possessed First-Level Grotto-Heaven Realm strength, personally guarding it, the strength of the Otherworldly Army was too formidable. The Tianyuan Sect headquarters would not be able to withstand it.
"I hope they're alright."
Ye Yunfei murmured to himself.
Two days later, the ship finally entered the Eastern Region and sped towards the Great Qin Empire.
Ye Yunfei released his Soul Power, sensing the land below.
"Indeed, the situation in the Eastern Region is the same as in the Southern Frontier; Otherworldly Armies are running rampant everywhere!"
Ye Yunfei couldn't help but frown.
On the land of the Eastern Region, one could occasionally see scenes of two armies facing off, locked in intense combat. Almost always, the Otherworldly Army held the upper hand, while the martial artists of the Eastern Region were beaten into steady retreat.
The places already occupied by the Otherworldly Army were littered with corpses, rivers of blood flowing—a gruesome sight too horrible to behold.
This scene made Ye Yunfei even more anxious. He steered the ship at its highest speed towards the Tianyuan Sect headquarters in the Great Qin Empire.
Finally, after most of the day, the ship entered the territory of the Great Qin Empire.
Ye Yunfei immediately extended his Soul Power far into the distance.
All he could see was a thick demonic aura soaring skyward everywhere within the Great Qin Empire!
"The Otherworldly Army has already entered the Great Qin Empire!"
Ye Yunfei's heart sank.
*Whoosh!*
A moment later, the ship finally returned to the Tianyuan Sect headquarters.
Looking out, within the headquarters, there were collapsed walls and broken buildings everywhere, as desolate as a ruin.
"How did this happen?"
Ye Yunfei stood in the sky above the Tianyuan Sect headquarters, his face livid.
"Hmm, there has been no killing here for some time. But where have the people of the Tianyuan Sect and the Ye Family gone? Could it be they left early to escape the Otherworldly Army?"
As he thought of this, Ye Yunfei's expression softened slightly.
"There are alien forces!"
Ye Yunfei's gaze fell upon one of the mountain peaks, his face darkening.
Within the Tianyuan Sect headquarters, there were five main peaks. One of them had a troop stationed on it, creating quite a racket.
*Whoosh!*
Ye Yunfei flashed through the air and landed on this main peak.
This mountain peak was garrisoned by roughly over two thousand alien troops, half of whom were Ancient Demon Race members.
Ye Yunfei had just landed when these alien troops noticed him.
"A young human boy!"
A member of the Ancient Demon Race, letting out a strange laugh, charged over, its demon claw shimmering with cold light as it lunged lightning-fast towards Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei reached out a hand, unleashing a pulling force that instantly sucked the Ancient Demon Race member over, grabbing it as easily as if holding a chick.
"Tell me, what are you doing here. Where have the people of this sect gone."
Ye Yunfei asked lightly.
"Brat, release me now!"
The Ancient Demon Race member, held aloft by Ye Yunfei, felt completely powerless, both shocked and furious.
Ye Yunfei released force from his palm with a gentle shake, instantly shaking the Ancient Demon Race member to death, then sent its corpse into the Phantom Tower.
"Seeking death!"
Immediately, a dozen or so more Ancient Demon Race members roared as they charged at Ye Yunfei.
*Scchhiick!*
The Void Blade shot out from Ye Yunfei's chest, flashing past.
*Pu-pu-pu…*
Wherever the Void Blade passed, it easily pierced through the heads of the alien troops one by one.
Ye Yunfei's Nine-Yang Scripture had already reached the One-Yang stage. Moreover, the golden sphere within his dantian had already grown to over thirty meters in diameter. One could say that even though his cultivation realm was only at the early Mysterious Liquid Realm, the potency of his spiritual power rivaled that of a Second-Level Grotto-Heaven Realm cultivator.
This was the terrifying aspect of the Nine-Yang Scripture. Once cultivated, crossing ranks to battle was as simple as eating and drinking!
The flying sword technique that Ye Yunfei executed with the Nine-Yang Scripture was far too terrifying. Before these alien troops could even figure out what was happening, they fell dead one after another.
A moment later, all over two thousand alien troops were dead.
Only a single human martial artist remained, standing amidst a pile of corpses, staring at Ye Yunfei with a gaze of sheer terror, his entire body trembling violently.
"Now, I'll ask, and you'll answer. Understood?"
Ye Yunfei's gaze landed on that human martial artist, his voice cold.
"I—under—understand."
That human martial artist's teeth chattered, his speech faltering as he nodded desperately.
"This place was originally the headquarters of a sect. Did you encounter any members of that sect when you entered?"
Ye Yunfei asked.
"N-n-no… When we arrived, this place was already completely empty. Our unit is just recuperating here temporarily. If you hadn't come, we would have left soon. We're preparing for a decisive battle with the Eastern Alliance."
The human martial artist replied in a trembling voice.
"Hmm. It seems the people of the Tianyuan Sect and the Ye Family did indeed leave ahead of time."
Ye Yunfei felt somewhat relieved.
"What is the Eastern Alliance?"
Ye Yunfei asked.
"The Eastern Alliance is an organization formed by the human martial artists of the Eastern Region specifically to resist us outsiders. I heard that most of the powers and martial artists in the Eastern Region have joined the Eastern Alliance."
The human martial artist replied.
"Where is your decisive battle with the Eastern Alliance going to take place?"
Ye Yunfei asked.
"At the Changban Empire. The Changban Empire is the largest empire in the Eastern Region. The headquarters of the Eastern Alliance is set up in the imperial capital of the Changban Empire."
The human martial artist answered.
"Hmm."
Ye Yunfei nodded.
With that said, Ye Yunfei flicked his finger, instantly shaking the human martial artist into a cloud of bloody mist.
Every one of these alien people who entered the Tianxuan Continent must have been blood-soaked killers, with hands stained red. Ye Yunfei would never let them go.
"I wonder if the Tianyuan Sect and our Ye Family have joined the Eastern Alliance. The likelihood is high. I'll know once I go and check."
Ye Yunfei murmured to himself. Now that he had returned to the Eastern Region, his biggest concern was still the safety of his Ye Family clansmen and the Tianyuan Sect.
Ye Yunfei waved his sleeve, unleashing a pulling force.
The corpses of those Ancient Demon Race members whose heads had been pierced by the Void Blade all flew over.
There were roughly a thousand Ancient Demon Race corpses.
Ye Yunfei sent all of these Ancient Demon Race corpses into the Phantom Tower.
Then...
*Whoosh!*
Ye Yunfei boarded the ship. The ship shot into the sky, flying at an astonishing speed towards the Changban Empire.
