"Ye Yunfei, let's go."
Vice Principal Meng said to Ye Yunfei.
"Meng Qianzheng, what do you mean by that?
Are you planning to take Ye Yunfei away by yourself?
That's not quite appropriate."
Zou Yi, Nan Gong Zheng, and Li Feixiong were startled for a moment, then stepped forward, locking onto Ye Yunfei.
"Ye Yunfei is a student of Heavenly Dao Academy. As a Vice Principal, taking him away, what's inappropriate about that?"
Meng Qianzheng said indifferently.
"Meng Qianzheng, I know you would definitely shield Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei stirs up trouble everywhere, sullying the reputation of our Heavenly Dao Academy. Moreover, his temperament is vicious; he kills on a whim and must be severely punished.
Ye Yunfei cannot be handed over to you; I must be the one to take him away!"
Zou Yi said.
"Old fogey, which eye of yours saw me stirring up trouble and sullying Heavenly Dao Academy's reputation?"
Ye Yunfei stared at Zou Yi and said coldly.
"Hmph!
Ye Yunfei, you still have the nerve to argue!
This single incident alone—you've shown immense audacity, stealing the Void Fruit and simultaneously offending several major powers of the Beihuang Domain, causing such an uproar, truly disgracing the face of our Heavenly Dao Academy!
Furthermore, take a look for yourself how many people you've killed today! Even many of our Heavenly Dao Academy students died by your hand.
Ye Yunfei, your crimes are grave and extreme; what use is arguing?
I advise you to obediently admit your guilt and come back with me to face punishment!"
Zou Yi snorted coldly.
"Hahaha...
Truly, when they want to assign blame, any pretext will do!
Old Mutt Zou Yi, let me ask you, who exactly decreed that I cannot seize the Void Fruit?
The Void Fruit belongs among the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures; fortune favors the one destined to have it. As a student of Heavenly Dao Academy, I have every right to enter the Shattered Valley to seek treasures and to participate in seizing and possessing any treasure found within the Shattered Valley.
Tell me, must the Void Fruit be delivered into your hands, Old Mutt Zou Yi, for it to be considered the correct course of action?
I don't seem to recall hearing any rule stating that Heavenly Dao Academy students are forbidden from seizing and possessing the Void Fruit.
As for you saying I killed so many people, this entire mob came to besiege and kill me alone. Am I not allowed to fight back? Must I stand motionless and let them kill me?
Old Mutt Zou Yi, are you out of your mind?"
Ye Yunfei laughed loudly and spoke these words.
"Little beast, you… you dare to answer me back like this!"
Zou Yi was so angry he couldn't get the words out; visible waves of blazing fury rose from his body.
"I think what Ye Yunfei says makes some sense.
Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are destined for those fated to possess them.
It seems that none of the major powers of our Beihuang Domain have ever stipulated that young juniors are not allowed to seize and possess the Void Fruit.
When you think about it, this matter, from beginning to end, has actually always been us, these few major powers, acting rather excessively toward Ye Yunfei."
Right at this moment, Zheng Sinian of Jiuhua Sacred Land suddenly spoke up.
After hearing Zheng Sinian's words, the others were all taken aback.
No one expected him to actually speak favorably for Ye Yunfei.
Ye Yunfei also felt extremely puzzled.
He had never even met this Jiuhua Sacred Land elder before; why would he speak favorably on his behalf?
When Ye Yunfei looked over, he saw two young women standing beside Zheng Sinian—one dressed in white robes, one in red robes.
"So it's them!"
When Ye Yunfei saw these two young women, he suddenly understood.
Both girls were standing close beside Zheng Sinian; it appeared that their status within Jiuhua Sacred Land must not be low.
Zheng Sinian's decision to speak for him was definitely because of these two girls!
"Ye Yunfei, you've killed so many of our Tianxuan Sacred Land disciples. This account must be settled no matter what."
Nan Gong Zheng said with a cold laugh.
"Correct.
Many of my Li Clan disciples were also killed by you; this account must be settled!"
Li Feixiong also took a step forward.
Zou Yi also wore a gloomy expression, locked onto Ye Yunfei, ready to act at any moment.
"While I'm here, you cannot touch Ye Yunfei."
Meng Qianzheng said lightly.
The atmosphere in the field became tense.
"Dean Meng, rest assured. If I wanted to leave, these three couldn't hold me."
At this time, Ye Yunfei suddenly spoke.
If Meng Qianzheng hadn't arrived, Ye Yunfei would have long since departed.
With Ye Yunfei's current strength, while he couldn't fight head-on against Soul Formation Realm experts,
relying on his advanced mastery of spatial energy, making a clean getaway wouldn't be difficult.
"Dean Meng, thank you.
Zou Yi, Li Feixiong, Nan Gong Zheng, you three old mutts are quite something. I will remember today's events."
Ye Yunfei's gaze swept over each of these three Soul Formation Realm experts, and he spoke coldly.
As soon as the words left his mouth,
Ye Yunfei took a single step and faded deep into the void, disappearing without a trace.
After consuming nine Void Fruits, Ye Yunfei's speed in traversing space had already reached a level of free will.
With just a single thought, he could freely enter and leave the void at will!
He's gone?
At this moment, everyone's gaze was firmly fixed on the spot where Ye Yunfei vanished, somewhat dumbfounded.
Just moments ago, these Soul Formation Realm experts were still negotiating how to deal with Ye Yunfei, and in the blink of an eye, Ye Yunfei had simply left.
He came and left as he pleased, unconstrained in the slightest!
"Spatial energy is indeed one of the most mystical energies in the world!"
Meng Qianzheng couldn't help but laugh bitterly.
The expressions of Zou Yi, Li Feixiong, and Nan Gong Zheng were all extremely unpleasant.
Ye Yunfei's parting words felt like a very serious provocation directed at them.
Originally, Soul Formation Realm experts were high above everyone else in the Beihuang Domain, beings worshipped and revered.
Yet, facing Ye Yunfei, they constantly felt frustrated and stymied!
This was truly a loss of face for them!
Seeing Ye Yunfei had already left, Meng Qianzheng said nothing. With a flick of his sleeve, he turned and left.
"Such awe-inspiring youths exist!
Let's depart."
Zheng Sinian stared at the spot where Ye Yunfei disappeared for a long moment, shaking his head with a sigh. Then he led the Jiuhua Sacred Land members away.
Zou Yi glanced at the spot where Ye Yunfei disappeared, his face extremely gloomy. He let out a cold snort, transformed into a streak of light, and vanished into the distance in an instant.
Next, Li Feixiong and Nan Gong Zheng, one after another, also led their respective faction's people away.
The other martial artists also dispersed one after another.
Half an hour later,
there was no one left before the Shattered Valley.
Half a day later, what had transpired at the Shattered Valley spread across the entire Beihuang Domain like a hurricane at a shocking speed.
Ye Yunfei alone, single-handedly fighting against several hundred Primordial Soul Realm experts, killing nearly a hundred of them! He slaughtered until the area before the Shattered Valley's entrance was strewn with corpses, rivers of blood flowing!
Ye Yunfei directly provoked three Soul Formation Realm experts and implied he might seek revenge in the future!
The Beihuang Domain was utterly abuzz.
Every martial artist or power who heard this news first reacted by freezing completely, as if turned to stone, simply unable to believe it.
Only after repeatedly confirming the news was true did everyone feel utterly stunned!
Ye Yunfei's name once again spread throughout the entire Beihuang Domain, being repeatedly discussed, debated over by countless martial artists, completely becoming the focal point of attention.
