After hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Liu City fell into a dead silence, inside and out.
All eyes were fixed on Ye Yunfei, and no one dared utter a single word.
Everyone understood: the Liu Family was finished!
Originally, today was a joyous occasion, the day the patriarch of the Liu Family was taking a concubine.
Within the Beihuang Domain, many powers and martial artists seeking favor had prepared gifts and rushed to Liu City, hoping to use this opportunity to curry favor with the Liu Family.
Unexpectedly, they had personally witnessed the Liu Family's destruction!
The Liu Family's day of celebration had become the day of their demise!
"Master, here!"
At this moment, Hu Miao suddenly appeared beside Ye Yunfei. With a wave of her hand, hundreds of spatial rings densely materialized, hovering before Ye Yunfei.
These spatial rings were all left behind by those killed in today's great battle.
Most belonged to martial artists at the Primordial Soul Realm.
The spatial rings of the three Soul Formation Realm experts killed by Ye Yunfei were also among them.
These were the spoils of war that Hu Miao and Huang Shang had just gathered from the battlefield.
Recently, Ye Yunfei's finances had been too tight.
Thus, he had become quite attentive to finances. He had specifically instructed Hu Miao and Huang Shang to search the battlefield earlier.
"Let's go, take a look inside the Liu mansion."
Ye Yunfei said to Hu Miao, then walked step by step towards the Liu Family estate.
The Liu Family estate was located in the deepest part of Liu City, surrounded by a wide moat. It occupied a vast area with numerous pavilions, towers, and deep palaces—imposing and majestic.
Hu Miao followed closely.
Soon, Ye Yunfei entered the Liu Family estate.
"Ye Yunfei, you little bastard! You've killed so many of my Liu clansmen. I'll fight you to the death!"
An elder charged out from the Liu estate, brandishing a sharp sword as he lunged at Ye Yunfei.
Pfft!
A streak of black light appeared, piercing the elder's skull like lightning.
The elder's corpse was flung far away, crashing down in the distance.
"Let's fight him together!"
Another group of Liu clansmen gripped weapons or treasures, charging at Ye Yunfei.
Sshhh!
A streak of black light shot out from Ye Yunfei's body.
Pfft, pfft, pfft...
Wherever the black light passed, one Liu clansman after another was slain.
For Liu clansmen at the Great Mystic Pill Realm and Primordial Soul Realm, Ye Yunfei showed no mercy, killing them directly.
For those at the Minor Mysterious Dan Realm and below, Ye Yunfei was lenient.
Of course, for any Liu clansman who actively charged forward to attack, regardless of their strength, Ye Yunfei slew them all without exception, showing no pity.
Mercy toward an enemy is often cruelty toward oneself!
Ye Yunfei understood the world of martial artists far too deeply!
If Ye Yunfei had been the one defeated today, the Liu Family would never have spared him—they would have certainly put Ye Yunfei to death!
"Members of the Liu Family, those who do not wish to die, get out!
Resisters will be executed on the spot!"
Ye Yunfei's icy voice echoed within the Liu Family estate.
"Quick, run!"
The majority of the Liu clansmen desperately fled outward.
Half an hour later, the sprawling Liu Family estate was completely empty!
"The Liu Family is utterly finished!"
Outside the Liu estate, someone shook their head and sighed.
Ye Yunfei, Hu Miao, and Huang Shang thoroughly searched the Liu Family estate, found the Liu Family treasury, and plundered it clean.
As a first-rate power in the Beihuang Domain with a lineage of several hundred years, the wealth accumulated by the Liu Family was astonishing.
Now, most of this wealth fell into Ye Yunfei's hands.
Then, Ye Yunfei accounted for all the Liu Family's industries within Liu City.
Most of these Liu Family businesses were operated by Liu Family members, with a portion leased or sold for outsiders to use.
A day later, Ye Yunfei and Hu Miao had finally completely sorted out all the Liu Family's assets and industries.
"From now on, Liu City permits all martial artists free entry, exit, and residence.
All Liu Family industries within Liu City henceforth belong to me, Ye Yunfei.
Those who wish to lease them may have their rent reduced by half."
Ye Yunfei's voice spread throughout the entirety of Liu City.
Next, Ye Yunfei personally took action, setting up over a dozen large Spirit Gathering Formations inside and outside Liu City, drawing all the spiritual energy from within dozens of miles nearby.
Simultaneously, Ye Yunfei released five Earth Dragons, which burrowed beneath Liu City, setting up several grand formations based on geomancy to gather the earth energy.
In less than half a day, the spiritual energy within Liu City became increasingly dense—its concentration increased by at least over tenfold compared to before!
Originally, Liu City had just experienced a great battle today, with many dead and wounded. Mountains of corpses and rivers of blood lay everywhere. The martial artists who previously lived and resided in Liu City had planned to move away.
But now, discovering that Liu City's spiritual energy had suddenly become so dense—perfect for cultivation!—and that the industries within Liu City offered a fifty percent rent reduction... Where else could they find such conditions?
Thus, the vast majority of martial artists decided to stay, rushing and competing to pay rent to Ye Yunfei.
Even many martial artists from nearby heard the news and flocked over!
Of course, all members of the Liu Family had already fled.
At the same time,
the events in Liu City swept across the entire Beihuang Domain like a hurricane!
Everyone who heard the news was stunned.
In the battle of Liu City, Ye Yunfei had single-handedly annihilated the Liu Family, eradicated the forces of the Purple Clouds Gate, killed several hundred Primordial Soul Realm martial artists, and slain three Soul Formation Realm experts!
Such deeds were akin to a myth or legend.
This news was like dropping a super bomb into a placid pond.
It sent the entire Beihuang Domain into a complete uproar!
"Heavens!
A mere young lad killed hundreds at the Primordial Soul Realm and even slew three Soul Formation Realm experts. Is this real?"
"Why do I feel this world has become a little insane?"
"Is that Ye Yunfei human... or a god?"
Within the Beihuang Domain, countless martial artists were engaged in frenzied discussions everywhere.
No matter who it was, when the name Ye Yunfei was mentioned, their hearts were filled with trepidation, not daring the slightest disrespect.
This was a peerless fierce man!
He had even killed three Soul Formation Realm experts. In all of the Beihuang Domain, how many more people would dare show disrespect to the name Ye Yunfei?
It could be said the Battle of Liu City had allowed Ye Yunfei to thoroughly intimidate the entire Beihuang Domain!
At this moment.
Within the great hall of the Liu Family estate.
Ye Yunfei, Hu Miao, and Huang Shang were all present.
Ye Yunfei transmitted Jiang Yanran and her mother out from the Phantom Tower.
"Senior Sister Jiang, Auntie, my apologies for the unpleasantness."
Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
Jiang Yanran and her mother had just emerged from the Phantom Tower and were slightly bewildered, surveying their surroundings.
"Ye Yunfei!
It's you!
What place is this?"
When Jiang Yanran clearly saw Ye Yunfei, she was both shocked and delighted.
"This is the Liu Family estate."
Ye Yunfei said.
"What?
This is the Liu Family?"
Jiang Yanran and her mother were both startled.
"Senior Sister Jiang, rest assured. The Liu Family has already been wiped out by me.
This place is now my territory.
Senior Sister Jiang, you are both safe now."
Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
