"The Heavenly Dao Academy is different from the Liu Family. The Heavenly Dao Academy has many Deity Realm experts standing guard. Even at the peak of our Tang Clan's power, we were unwilling to provoke the Heavenly Dao Academy lightly." Elder Tang Wu added.
"I understand. I'll find a way to lure Ruan Shiguang out of the academy and then, without leaving a trace, quietly eliminate him," Ye Yunfei said.
"Good. Young Master Ye, our Tang Clan will fully support you," Elder Tang Wu said.
Right at that moment.
"Ye Yunfei, someone is looking for you. They're two beauties!" Suddenly, Ye Yunfei received a Sound Transmission from Da Di Daozhang.
"Oh, two beauties?" Ye Yunfei was momentarily stunned.
Then, Ye Yunfei walked out of the cultivation chamber. Da Di Daozhang was waiting outside the chamber and pointed towards the sky not far away.
There, a woman in a red dress stood poised in the air. Her flowing dress danced, and her alluring curves appeared graceful and captivating. Her skin was like translucent jade, her slender eyebrows arching delicately. With just the slightest furrow, she seemed to emanate a myriad of charms, capable of beguiling the world. Beside this woman in a pink dress stood another, dressed in pure white as if clad in snow, a veil covering her face. Her eyes held a misty, dreamy quality, poetic and picturesque, possessing an aura that transcended the mundane.
One was enchanting, the other ethereal; the feeling they gave off was completely different.
"Are you Su Ye?" The woman in the red dress gazed at Ye Yunfei with her beautiful eyes as she asked.
"That's right," Ye Yunfei replied, his gaze indifferent, utterly unperturbed by the stunning beauty of the red-robed woman before him.
"Look! Isn't that our academy's Senior Sister Jiang Yanran? Senior Sister Jiang Yanran is an Elite Student of our academy and rarely shows herself. Why has she come to Su Ye's cultivation peak? It seems Senior Sister Jiang Yanran is questioning Su Ye! This guy has incredible luck!"
At this moment, some curious students began gathering around Ye Yunfei's cultivation peak. It couldn't be helped; two peerless beauties simultaneously descending upon Ye Yunfei's peak made it impossible for passing male students to move their feet. The crowd grew larger and larger.
"Jiang Yanran? An Elite Student?" Ye Yunfei's Soul Power was immensely powerful; hearing the discussion of the onlookers in the distance, he couldn't help feeling a bit surprised.
Why would an Elite Student suddenly come looking for him?
"I just received news that you blocked the Liu Family's main gate and forced their Third Ancestor to come out and negotiate a truce. Is that true or false?" Jiang Yanran asked, somewhat curious.
"You could say it's true," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"You're only at the late-stage Minor Elixir Realm. I'm really curious how you managed to do that," Jiang Yanran suddenly gave a light laugh, her bright eyes and pearly teeth, her crimson lips vivid, her whole person radiating a special kind of allure.
It had to be said, this woman was very seductive.
As she spoke, Jiang Yanran suddenly took a light step forward, her posture elegant and ethereal, waves of an intoxicating fragrance diffusing in the air.
Boom...
A powerful wave of spiritual energy surged towards Ye Yunfei, stirring up sand and stones where he stood, making the earth shake and the mountains tremble.
This Jiang Yanran was at the early-stage Primordial Soul Realm!
Ye Yunfei's expression turned stern. He immediately circulated the Nine-Yang Scripture within his body, a torrent of spiritual energy pressure pouring forth, combined with his physical strength, dispersing the majority of the spiritual energy wave Jiang Yanran released. Then, Ye Yunfei activated the Shadow Gown and retreated rapidly with a single step, instantly putting distance between himself and Jiang Yanran.
"Not bad!" Jiang Yanran was somewhat surprised and couldn't help but praise.
"It seems you're here to stand up for the Liu Family," Ye Yunfei sneered. With a thought, he unleashed the Heavenly Soul Sword, attacking directly into Jiang Yanran's Soul Sea. Simultaneously, he took a step forward, advancing towards her.
Discovering a dangerous little sword suddenly appearing in her Soul Sea, Jiang Yanran's pretty face paled, and she retreated several steps. Although she was at the Primordial Soul Realm, in terms of Soul Power, she wasn't that much stronger than Ye Yunfei. The Heavenly Soul Sword's power was formidable, putting her in a very passive position.
"Look! Su Ye actually dares to confront Senior Sister Jiang Yanran! How audacious! Senior Sister Jiang Yanran is among the top ten experts of the Elite Students in our academy!"
"Senior Sister Jiang Yanran is also the recognized goddess of our Heavenly Dao Academy. How dare Su Ye confront Senior Sister Jiang Yanran! Isn't he afraid of inciting public outrage?"
...
The students surrounding the peak were shocked at this sight and couldn't help discussing animatedly.
"Alright, alright. Don't go all out against me. I'm not here to stand up for the Liu Family. I have no relationship with the Liu Family whatsoever. I was just curious and wanted to test you a little. Actually, it's not me who wants to find you. The one who really wants to find you is Sister Ji." Seeing the cold glint in Ye Yunfei's eyes as if he still intended to attack, Jiang Yanran hurriedly waved her hand and explained.
"Sister Ji?" Ye Yunfei was taken aback and looked towards the woman in white. That woman, clad in pure white like snow, had an ethereal and transcendent demeanor, like a lily in a secluded valley.
The woman in white nodded slightly towards Ye Yunfei.
However, just as she was about to speak...
Suddenly.
"How insolent! A mere lowly junior student, a status as lowly as a dog, dares to confront Senior Sister Jiang Yanran! This is a crime of grave disrespect! Kneel immediately and apologize to Senior Sister Jiang Yanran! Otherwise, the consequences will be severe!"
The watching crowd parted as a young man in purple strode forward with an arrogant, overbearing demeanor. Several dozen students clustered around him like stars surrounding the moon.
"Junior Student Luo Tianfeng pays his respects to Senior Sister Jiang Yanran. Senior Sister Jiang Yanran, rest assured. I witnessed all the discourtesies this Su Ye showed towards you just now. Now, I will seek justice on your behalf!" the young man in purple proclaimed loudly, appearing righteous and full of integrity.
"Oh? Is that so," Jiang Yanran couldn't help but cover her mouth with a light chuckle. As the goddess of the Heavenly Dao Academy, she often encountered situations like this; whenever she faced the slightest grievance, many male students would compete to stand up for her.
"You're Su Ye, right? I've heard of you! Barely having entered the academy, you stir up trouble and show off, thinking you're something special. I've had enough of you! Remember, my name is Luo Tianfeng, a Senior Student. Today, I will teach you a lesson!" The young man in purple shot a cold, arrogant, sidelong glance at Ye Yunfei and shouted.
"Brother Luo, teaching a lesson to a lowly student like this, why bother dirtying your own hands? Leave it to us!" the dozens of students clustered around Luo Tianfeng clamored eagerly.
Ye Yunfei had only just returned to the academy recently. The events that happened at the Liu Family hadn't yet spread throughout the Heavenly Dao Academy, so these ordinary students weren't aware of them. If these students knew that Ye Yunfei had blocked the Liu Family's gate and forced their Third Ancestor to plead for peace, they wouldn't dare to provoke Ye Yunfei.
"Go on! Give this kid a beating!" Beside Luo Tianfeng, four or five students were already eager and pounced towards Ye Yunfei like wolves and tigers. These students were all at the early-stage Major Elixir Realm, loyal followers of Luo Tianfeng.
Ye Yunfei stood with his hands clasped behind his back, watching coldly as those students lunged at him, neither dodging nor evading.
The next moment.
Sshhh!
The Void Blade shot out from Ye Yunfei's chest and vanished into space. A moment later.
Ss-shhh...
A black streak of lightning flickered in and out of sight, moving with astonishing speed, weaving around and piercing through the bodies of those four or five students.
"Ah!" "Aah!"
The four or five attacking students screamed in continuous agony. One bloody hole after another appeared on their bodies, blood spurting wildly.
"Junior Brother Su, have mercy!" Terrified out of their wits, these four or five students retreated desperately.
With a thought from Ye Yunfei, the Void Blade disappeared into space, vanishing without a trace. Then, everyone could see that each of those four or five students had at least a dozen bloody holes on their bodies.
As Ye Yunfei's spiritual power increased, the might of the Flying Sword Art he wielded had also greatly improved. Dealing with these early-stage Major Elixir Realm cultivators was effortless!
"That's terrifying!" The surrounding students exclaimed in shock one after another. Even Jiang Yanran and the white-robed woman surnamed Ji revealed looks of astonishment.
