After getting a clear look at Ye Yunfei's level of spiritual cultivation, the gazes of most present turned to disdain.
You must understand, everyone attending this welcoming banquet was a young genius.
The weakest among them was at the tenth level of the Grotto-Heaven Realm.
The majority were at the Minor Mystic Pill Realm.
These young geniuses were all arrogant individuals with exceedingly high standards.
How could they possibly look up to someone at the fifth level of the Grotto-Heaven Realm?
"Oh? He's actually your Houtu Sect's Holy Son? That's truly unbelievable! A character like this, I could crush with a single finger. What qualifications does he have to be a Holy Son?"
That Senior Brother Hu walked over to Ye Yunfei holding a cup of wine, looking Ye Yunfei up and down with a mocking gaze.
Ye Yunfei's expression darkened.
Without even asking, this Senior Brother Hu was clearly standing up for Ouyang Feng and deliberately targeting him.
"Who are you, punk? Su Ye is our Houtu Sect's Holy Son, what business is it of yours!" Da Di Daozhang said with displeasure.
"Heh heh, Du Fan, I advise you to speak with a bit more respect when addressing Young Master Hu. Young Master Hu's name is Hu Bo, the second young master of the Hu Clan, the number one clan of Yue State. Moreover, Young Master Hu's elder brother is named Hu Jie, a core disciple of the Tianxuan Sacred Land, ranked seventh on the Tianxuan Ranking!"
Ouyang Feng also walked over, saying with a cold smile.
"So he's Hu Jie's younger brother."
Many in the vicinity showed a look of apprehension.
The Hu Clan was the premier clan of Yue State, a force not to be underestimated. Moreover, the Hu Clan's eldest young master, Hu Jie, was a talented disciple of the Tianxuan Sacred Land, somewhat renowned throughout the entire Beihuang Domain.
The Tianxuan Sacred Land was one of the three great powers of the Beihuang Domain.
While the Houtu Sect was merely a sect of Mu State, one of the eighteen states of the Beihuang Domain, it was far inferior to the Tianxuan Sacred Land.
Wherever disciples of the Tianxuan Sacred Land traveled in the Beihuang Domain, they were met with fear and respect.
Thus, when everyone learned that this Hu Bo before them was Hu Jie's younger brother, they all wore an expression of caution.
"If you don't want to die, get lost." Ye Yunfei said indifferently.
Hu Bo was enraged upon hearing this.
Given his status and strength, how dare a mere fifth level Grotto-Heaven cultivator speak to him like that!
"A piece of trash like you, dares to tell me to get lost? Brat, I'm giving you one chance. Kneel immediately, kowtow to me, and admit your mistake! I might consider letting you off. Otherwise, you won't leave this City Lord's Manor today!" Hu Bo glared at Ye Yunfei and berated.
Boom…
As he spoke, the spiritual power within his body erupted like a volcano, bursting forth and sweeping towards Ye Yunfei with overwhelming force.
This Hu Bo had strength at the early-stage Minor Mystic Pill Realm!
At this moment, everyone within the City Lord's Manor was drawn to the conflict between Ye Yunfei and Hu Bo. Seeing Hu Bo pressuring Ye Yunfei, they all revealed meaningful smiles.
In this world, the strong bullying the weak was far too normal.
Da Di Daozhang, standing beside Ye Yunfei, was forced to continuously retreat by the spiritual power pressure released by Hu Bo.
"Kneel!" Seeing that Ye Yunfei could actually still hold his ground, Hu Bo grew furious, took a step forward, and shouted.
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei moved like a specter, closing the distance to Hu Bo in an instant.
"You're seeking death…" Hu Bo hadn't expected Ye Yunfei's speed to be this fast and shouted in shock and anger.
Suddenly.
A small sword appeared in his soul sea, shooting towards his soul body.
Ahhhh…
Hu Bo felt his head splitting with pain and cried out miserably.
Ye Yunfei backhandedly slapped him. Several thousand jin of physical strength empowered the palm as it struck Hu Bo's face.
Thud!
Hu Bo's cheek immediately caved in, and his body was sent flying like a cannonball, crashing onto the ground in the distance.
The Heaven Soul Sword Ye Yunfei was currently employing could easily deal with even mid-stage Minor Mystic Pill Realm cultivators, much less an early-stage one like him.
Impossible!
A fifth level Grotto-Heaven cultivator slapped and sent a Minor Mystic Pill Realm expert flying?
Seeing Hu Bo get slapped away, everyone present froze.
"Ahhh… You dare break my face! You're dead! I won't let you go, I will definitely kill you!"
Shockingly, Hu Bo hadn't lost consciousness. He lay there, howling miserably.
"Since that's the case, then I'll kill you." Ye Yunfei said indifferently, walking to Hu Bo's side.
He still wants to kill someone in public?
The people around were all astonished.
"Stop right there!" A stern voice suddenly rang out.
Then, the crowd parted, and a man in blue robes embroidered with white clouds strode over. It was the Holy Son of Qingxuan Sect.
"Who are you?! This dinner party was organized by me. Why did you injure someone at my banquet?"
The Qingxuan Holy Son fixed Ye Yunfei with a sharp gaze and asked in a low voice.
"My apologies. Su Ye is our Houtu Sect's Holy Son, it's just that his temperament has always been like this—a bit ferocious. If words don't agree, he will resort to violence. Even many of our Houtu Sect's disciples have been injured by him for no reason. So, I ask the Qingxuan Holy Son to please be magnanimous."
Ouyang Feng cut in, speaking first.
"He's your Houtu Sect's Holy Son? Regardless, to take action at my banquet is to show no respect to me. Apologize to Young Master Hu immediately!"
The Qingxuan Holy Son said with a dark expression.
"Just now, when he was about to attack me, why didn't I see you come out to stop him?" Ye Yunfei asked calmly.
"Hmph! How can you be mentioned in the same breath as Young Master Hu!"
The Qingxuan Holy Son said coldly.
"Qingxuan Holy Son, help me kill this brat! I want him dead! If you help me kill him, I will surely offer a handsome reward!"
Hu Bo roared loudly.
"Die."
Ye Yunfei's gaze turned cold. He raised his foot and stomped down towards Hu Bo's head.
"Stop!"
The Qingxuan Holy Son shouted.
Squelch!
Ye Yunfei's foot crushed Hu Bo's head into a mushy pulp of blood and brain matter.
Hu Bo died?
Everyone was petrified, finding it somewhat hard to believe.
Although Hu Bo was merely at the early-stage Minor Mystic Pill Realm, and not particularly outstanding at this banquet attended by many prodigies, he was the second young master of the Hu Clan, Yue State's number one clan, and his elder brother Hu Jie was a genius disciple ranked seventh on the Tianxuan Ranking of the Tianxuan Sacred Land.
Killing Hu Bo had extremely severe consequences!
"There's trouble! A major incident! The second young master of Yue State's premier Hu Clan has fallen in Zhudan City. The Hu Clan will definitely not let this rest!"
"I heard that Hu Jie has already been taken in as a direct disciple by a Tianxuan Sacred Land Elder and is a key elite disciple the Sacred Land is grooming. If Hu Jie learns that his younger brother was killed, he will definitely seek justice! At that time, with the Tianxuan Sacred Land involved, the Houtu Sect surely cannot protect this kid! He's dead for sure!"
Discussions erupted all around.
Everyone looked at Ye Yunfei as if they were looking at a dead man.
"You dared to kill someone in front of me?" The Qingxuan Holy Son stared at Ye Yunfei, his face filled with fury. The oppressive spiritual power from his entire body surged out, crushing towards Ye Yunfei.
"I killed him, so what?" Ye Yunfei said, placing his hands behind his back, replying nonchalantly.
