Immediately, everyone turned their heads, only to see that, a short distance away, a young man they didn't know when appeared was now staring coldly at Elder Tan.
Upon seeing this young man, Wu Heishan, Dugu Huan, and the others were utterly stunned, their faces expressing disbelief.
They had just mentioned Ye Yunfei, and then they turned around and saw him!
This feeling was like being in a dream!
"Is that Old Bro?... Am I seeing things?"
Wu Heishan rubbed his eyes vigorously and then opened them wide again, looking toward Ye Yunfei.
"You're not seeing things. It really is me." Ye Yunfei smiled.
"It really is Old Bro! Old Bro, your timing is perfect! I've missed you so much!"
Once Wu Heishan confirmed it was Ye Yunfei, he was extremely excited and rushed over on the spot.
"Stay away! Don't be so sappy!"
Ye Yunfei released an aura of energy pressure, forcing Wu Heishan to a halt.
"Old Bro, I just missed you!" Wu Heishan was forced back several steps by Ye Yunfei's energy pressure and gave an embarrassed laugh.
Swish swish…
In their delight, Dugu Huan, Wen Zi, Yuan Dayong, Long Yingying, Deng Xianxian, and others also surged towards Ye Yunfei.
"Big Pervert, Wu Heishan is right, you came back just in time! They want to rebel, and they even plan to capture your Ye Family members!" Wen Zi pointed at Elder Tan and shouted.
"Ye Yunfei… Clak-clak-clak… Dean Ye…"
At this moment, Elder Tan's gaze was fixed unwaveringly on Ye Yunfei. He trembled all over, his upper and lower teeth chattering uncontrollably with extreme terror, as if he had been thrust into a ten-thousand-year-old Profound Ice cave.
In the distance, Steward Huang was leading a group of subordinates and preparing to head toward the area where the Ye Family members resided.
Now, he also halted his steps, turned around, and stared at Ye Yunfei in terror, completely dumbfounded!
"That's Ye Yunfei!"
The subordinates Steward Huang led had all newly joined Hudao Academy, and one by one, they too looked at Ye Yunfei with fear striking their hearts.
While most of them had never seen Ye Yunfei before, within Tianxuan Continent, Ye Yunfei's name and prowess were known to all!
"Don't worry, with me here, they won't be able to rebel." Ye Yunfei smiled slightly at Wen Zi.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei's Soul Power had long since enveloped the entire Hudao Academy.
Every location, every person, every single move within Hudao Academy was within Ye Yunfei's perception.
In fact, from the moment Ye Yunfei set foot in Hudao Academy, Miao Tianfeng's faction couldn't kill a single person. Because Ye Yunfei, utilizing the Heaven-Soul Sword, could kill them in an instant!
"You two, come here." Ye Yunfei looked at Elder Tan and Steward Huang and spoke.
Swish! Swish!
With Ye Yunfei's words, Elder Tan and Steward Huang discovered their bodies were no longer under their control. A powerful suction force instantly pulled them before Ye Yunfei.
In terms of Ye Yunfei's current strength, the Elder Tan and Steward Huang before him were far too weak—so weak that Ye Yunfei, with just a thought, could have killed them over a dozen times!
"Speak, what exactly is going on." Ye Yunfei stood with his hands behind his back, asking indifferently.
"Ye Yunfei, I am an elder of Hudao Academy. You cannot act against me arbitrarily!" Elder Tan said in a trembling voice.
Boom!
The moment his words finished, Ye Yunfei released a wave of spiritual power pressure, directly shattering his body into a mist of blood.
"You tell me."
Ye Yunfei looked at Steward Huang, his expression impassive.
Clak-clak-clak…
Steward Huang had long since been frightened pale, his entire body trembling violently as if sifting grain.
Elder Tan was a Ninth-Level Grotto-Heaven Realm expert, yet Ye Yunfei killed him in an instant. He was no match at all.
"Ye Yunfei, it wasn't me! I was just following orders! Don't kill me…" Steward Huang cried out in alarm.
Boom!
Steward Huang's cry was cut short as his body directly exploded into pieces, shattered to bits.
"All of you will die too." Ye Yunfei's gaze shifted to Steward Huang's subordinates in the distance, as he spoke casually.
"Let me kill these ones. You hurry and help the Ye Family members and Dean Xie and the others. They are in danger!"
Dugu Huan rushed forward a step, speaking to Ye Yunfei.
Swoosh…
One after another, sword beams as large as door panels continuously slashed out.
Ah! Ah…
Immediately, Steward Huang's subordinates fell, some dead, some injured.
Dugu Huan had cultivated the Thousand Absolute Saber to a certain degree of mastery, and its lethality was truly terrifying.
"Fine, I'll leave these people to you." Ye Yunfei nodded and turned away.
Ye Yunfei wasn't worried about Dugu Huan and the others' safety because his Soul Power was constantly sensing every movement within Hudao Academy, allowing him to rescue them at any moment.
"Kill!"
The moment Ye Yunfei left, Dugu Huan, Wu Heishan, and the others lunged fiercely at Steward Huang's remaining subordinates like wolves and tigers.
Dugu Huan, Wu Heishan, Yuan Dayong, and Wen Zi had all received personal teachings from Ye Yunfei.

At this moment.
In another area of Hudao Academy.
Within the residential area of the Ye Family members.
An academy elder, leading a large group of people, surrounded all the Ye Family members with aggressive momentum.
"Elder Hong, what is the meaning of this?"
Ye Tianpeng asked the leading elder in shock.
This elder, surnamed Hong, had also only joined Hudao Academy after Ye Yunfei's departure.
He possessed the Eighth Level Grotto-Heaven Realm strength!
"It has been verified that the Ye Family members colluded with the Ancient Demon Race to betray the Academy's interests. After unanimous deliberation by the Academy's upper echelons, it was decided to apprehend all members of the Ye Family, escort them to the Celestial Prison, and await further judgment!"
Elder Hong ignored Ye Tianpeng's question. Instead, he raised his voice, proclaiming clearly.
"What?! The Ye Family colluded with the Ancient Demon Race? That's impossible!"
At this time, a large crowd of observing students had already gathered in the distance. Upon hearing Elder Hong's words, they all expressed disbelief.
The identity of the Ye Family members was too special!
They were Ye Yunfei's family!
And Ye Yunfei was the great hero who had saved the entire Tianxuan Continent!
Now, suddenly someone claimed Ye Yunfei's family had colluded with the Ancient Demon Race; naturally, no one would believe it.
"There must be a mistake! Dean Ye is the pride of our Academy! We can't let them move against Dean Ye's family!"
"Exactly, it must be a misunderstanding! Come, let's protect Dean Ye's family!"
…
For a time, students came swarming from all directions in mighty waves to protect the Ye Family members.
"Elder Hong, there must definitely be some misunderstanding here! How could we Ye Family people collude with the Ancient Demon Race!" Ye Tianpeng also quickly protested.
"Don't worry. Whether there is a misunderstanding or not, the Academy's leadership will naturally investigate and clarify. For now, apprehend all members of the Ye Family to the Celestial Prison first. Whoever dares to obstruct will be treated as a traitor and executed on the spot!" Elder Hong shouted with a cold laugh.
Boom…
A violent aura of spiritual power pressure surged and rolled forth from his body, spreading out in all directions.
Immediately, everyone was suppressed until their faces flushed red, their movements difficult, almost kneeling.
"An Eighth Level Grotto-Heaven Realm expert is too terrifying!"
Everyone was so suppressed that fear struck their hearts.
However.
Right at this moment.
Screech!
A black small sword, only as thick as an adult's finger, came flying from afar, flashed past, and completely severed Elder Hong's right hand along with his right shoulder. Blood sprayed wildly.
Ah…
Elder Hong screamed in pain.
Screech!
That small black sword swiftly turned back and once again shot towards Elder Hong.
Thud!
Elder Hong's left hand along with his left shoulder were also severed.
Ah!
Blood surged like a tide from Elder Hong's two severed shoulder stumps, and his screams grew even more wretched.
Then, the small black sword flew back once more.
Screech! Screech!
Both of Elder Hong's thighs were severed cleanly at their roots.
Thus, he was left with only a bare, blood-drenched torso rolling agonizingly on the ground, his screams like the wailing of tortured ghosts.
Those who had come with Elder Hong were terrified to their core, retreating one after another.
But retreating was useless.
Screech!
That small black sword began killing towards these people who came with Elder Hong.
Ah! Ah…
Wherever the small black sword passed, those people fell incessantly like cut grain, and in moments, were all slaughtered clean!
"Using Dark Thorns to deal with these clowns is truly using a sledgehammer to crack a nut."
At another location in Hudao Academy, Ye Yunfei shook his head with a cold smile.
At this moment, Ye Yunfei was walking step by step through the air towards Dean Xie's mountain peak.
Ye Yunfei's Soul Power had long since closely perceived the Ye Family members' residential area. Discovering that Elder Hong had brought people to threaten the Ye Family, he naturally showed no mercy, directly resorting to killing.
