Well, since everyone is here. Let's all take action together. We'll capture all these people from Tianyuan Sect and the Ye Family and detain them together. Then we'll deal with Ye Yunfei as one. Whatever we can obtain from Ye Yunfei will be left to individual fortune." Finally, the people from the four major top forces, after discussions, reached an agreement.
After all, Ye Yunfei's strength was too peculiar. In Hujie City, two experts at the Second Level of the Grotto-Heaven Realm had been killed by Ye Yunfei. After receiving the news transmitted back from Hujie City, the four major top forces of the Central Continent were all extremely wary of Ye Yunfei.
That was why they came up with the method of using Tianyuan Sect and the Ye Family to threaten Ye Yunfei.
"Take action!"
Elder Lu of the Shenfeng Sect gave the order, and the people of the four forces all moved, charging toward the members of Tianyuan Sect and the Ye Family.
The vast majority of these people from the four forces were at the Profound Liquid realm. And there were four experts at the Third-Level Grotto-Heaven Realm!
Fengyun Jue resisted with all his might, but it was useless. He was only at the First-Level Grotto-Heaven Realm.
After a few moves, he was struck far away by Elder Lu of the Shenfeng Sect, crashing onto the ground, repeatedly spitting blood.
The people from Tianyuan Sect, the Ye Family, and Luohai Trading Company had no power to resist and were all captured in just moments, taken away from the small square.
"Hmph, I didn't expect Tianyuan Sect to have a First-Level Grotto-Heaven Realm expert. Since we've encountered him, we cannot let him live. Eliminate him to cut off future trouble!"
Elder Lu walked toward Fengyun Jue.
"Dare to move against the Ye Family and Tianyuan Sect, my Master will not spare you!"
Fengyun Jue struggled to stand up, roaring furiously.
"Hmph! On the verge of death and you still dare to be stubborn!"
Elder Lu sneered coldly.
Bang!
The two fought again. After a few moves, Fengyun Jue was once again sent flying.
Just then, Fengyun Jue suddenly mustered his last bit of strength, activated his movement technique, and fled at high speed toward the outskirts of the imperial city.
He was, after all, a First-Level Grotto-Heaven Realm expert. Though severely injured, his speed was astonishing when fleeing with all his might. In his desperation, his lifeblood burned, making him even faster.
"Trying to escape? Not so easy!"
Elder Lu tapped his toes lightly, his body moving like a meteor as he gave chase.
At this time.
Above the Eastern Region's land, a flying ship swiftly traversed the sky, heading in the direction of Changban Empire's imperial city.
On the ship, Ye Yunfei sat cross-legged, quietly resting with his eyes closed.
However, Ye Yunfei felt a general sense of unease.
"Could it be that our Ye Family and Tianyuan Sect people have really joined the Eastern Alliance? And at this moment, the decisive battle between the Eastern Alliance and the Otherworldly Army has already begun. That's why I have this feeling of unease," Ye Yunfei murmured to himself.
Ye Yunfei understood that the Eastern Region's strength was too weak. The Eastern Alliance couldn't possibly be a match for the Otherworldly Army.
Once the decisive battle between the two sides erupted, the Eastern Alliance would undoubtedly be defeated. Thus, the Ye Family and Tianyuan Sect members might well be in danger.
Thinking of this, Ye Yunfei controlled the ship to proceed at full speed.
Finally.
Less than half an hour later, Changban Empire's imperial city came into view in the distance.
The Otherworldly Army hasn't arrived yet! The great decisive battle hasn't begun!
With his Soul Power, Ye Yunfei perceived that Changban Empire's imperial city was packed densely with martial artists; the atmosphere was tense. However, there was still no sign of the Otherworldly Army.
Ye Yunfei couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
Just then.
"Haha... You can't escape!"
A wild laugh sounded from afar.
Ye Yunfei's Soul Power immediately swept over. He discovered that in the distant mountains near the imperial city, two figures were engaged in a chase—one fleeing desperately, the other pursuing.
The one frantically fleeing ahead was none other than Fengyun Jue!
Ye Yunfei's face instantly darkened, a strong sense of foreboding welling up inside him.
Fengyun Jue was responsible for protecting the Ye Family and Tianyuan Sect members. Now, Fengyun Jue was being hunted down. What did this mean?
At this moment.
Fengyun Jue's speed slowed down. Though he had burned his lifeblood, his injuries were too severe.
His aura grew increasingly weak.
It seemed he was about to be caught up by Elder Lu of the Shenfeng Sect.
"I advise you to resign yourself and accept death obediently. Before me, you cannot escape," Elder Lu said with a cold smile while activating his movement technique.
"Just you wait. Once my Master returns, you're dead for sure!"
Fengyun Jue roared.
"Haha, what if Ye Yunfei returns? Would I be afraid of him? If Ye Yunfei dares come looking for me, I could capture him single-handedly. In fact, I'd be hoping he seeks me out on his own," Elder Lu laughed.
Just then.
"Oh, really? I'm here. Let's see you capture me single-handedly."
An indifferent voice abruptly rang out.
Then, in the distance, a young man appeared, hands clasped behind his back, stepping through the air one step at a time.
"Master!"
While desperately fleeing, Fengyun Jue heard the voice, suddenly raised his head, and saw Ye Yunfei. He couldn't help but feel wild joy.
Ye Yunfei's movements seemed slow, but in reality, they were incredibly fast. In just a few steps, he arrived beside Fengyun Jue.
Fengyun Jue was covered in blood, wounds everywhere, his aura weak. Clearly, he was severely injured.
"Ye Yunfei! You dare to appear!"
Elder Lu, upon seeing Ye Yunfei, was stunned. He stopped abruptly, a trace of wariness flashing in his eyes. He recalled that Ye Yunfei had killed two Second Level Grotto-Heaven experts in Hujie City.
Moreover, back then in the Space Abyss before Hujie City, dozens of Grotto-Heaven Realm experts from the otherworldly forces had joined forces to surround and kill Ye Yunfei. Yet, Ye Yunfei survived.
Thus, though Elder Lu was a Third-Level Grotto-Heaven Realm expert, he couldn't be certain he was Ye Yunfei's match.
"What happened?"
Ye Yunfei ignored Elder Lu and turned his gaze to Fengyun Jue, asking.
"Master, terrible news! The people of the Ye Family, Tianyuan Sect, and Luohai Trading Company have all been captured! It was done by these four forces: Shenfeng Sect, Tianyan Sect, Xiao Clan, and Fengyun Family!"
Fengyun Jue cried out anxiously.
"Seeking death!"
Ye Yunfei shook with rage. Boundless killing intent surged out, instantly sweeping across the area. Both Fengyun Jue and Elder Lu felt as if the air within several miles instantly solidified.
The temperature plummeted sharply, making them feel as if they'd fallen into an ice pit.
"He's only at the early Profound Liquid realm. How can he possess such terrifying killing intent?!"
Elder Lu was inwardly horrified.
"Shenfeng Sect, Tianyan Sect, Xiao Clan, Fengyun Family... I, Ye Yunfei, vow to destroy these four forces!"
Ye Yunfei said word by word, endless killing intent swirling in his eyes.
"Hmph, Ye Yunfei, you boast too grandly. Our four top forces of the Central Continent have long-lasting legacies and deep foundations. Moreover, we have Seventh Level Grotto-Heaven experts personally presiding over our sects. How could a junior like you talk about destroying them so casually!"
Elder Lu, hearing Ye Yunfei's words, couldn't help but be furious.
"Master, he is Elder Lu of the Shenfeng Sect! It was him who led people to capture the Ye Family and Tianyuan Sect members just now! My injuries were also inflicted by him!"
Fengyun Jue pointed at Elder Lu, angrily saying.
"Heh heh, that's right..."
Elder Lu sneered coldly. He was, after all, a Third-Level Grotto-Heaven Realm expert. Though somewhat wary of Ye Yunfei, he couldn't possibly truly fear him.
Swish!
Before his words could finish, he discovered Ye Yunfei had already appeared right before him at an inconceivable speed, standing face to face.
Whoosh...
A fist, carrying terrifying force, came smashing toward him.
Ye Yunfei's speed was too fast!
So fast Elder Lu couldn't react.
"Ye Yunfei, you're seeking death!"
Elder Lu found that he had no way to evade. In desperation, he clenched his own fist and met it head-on.
Boom!
A spirit power fist imprint emerged from Elder Lu's fist, continuously enlarging like a small hill.
Bang!
Their fists collided.
Pfft!
Elder Lu's entire arm exploded on the spot.
Ah!
A small half of his body also directly exploded. He let out a scream.
Had he used other techniques, he might have been able to exchange a few moves with Ye Yunfei. However, engaging in pure brute force collision, he was no match for Ye Yunfei.
Then, Ye Yunfei reached out, grabbed Elder Lu, and lifted him up.
Now, Elder Lu had only half a body left, severely injured and powerless to struggle. Held in Ye Yunfei's hand, he was like a small chicken.
"Speak! Where are the Ye Family and Tianyuan Sect people?"
Ye Yunfei, his gaze filled with killing intent, stared at Elder Lu and coldly demanded.
