The great banner fluttered as Ye Yunfei and his party swaggered forward, heading toward the area of mysterious mountains.
At the same time, numerous martial artists were also moving toward that region.
Soon, Ye Yunfei's group was noticed.
"Look! That banner says 'Heavenly Dao Academy' in big characters!"
"Could it be they are all students of the Heavenly Dao Academy? How audacious! They dare to march so openly. Don't they know they have a bounty on their heads?"
"It's strange. I heard that over the past few days, many students of the Heavenly Dao Academy have been hunted down and fled for their lives. Why are they suddenly so conspicuous?"
...
Many martial artists looked at Ye Yunfei's party with doubtful eyes, discussing among themselves.
"I heard the Wu Clan has offered a high bounty for these Heavenly Dao Academy students. If we can kill them all and take their heads to claim the reward from the Wu Clan disciples, we can probably make a good sum."
"There are only over twenty of them, and the strongest is only at the late Primordial Soul Realm. With such strength, it shouldn't be hard to deal with them!"
Before long, many martial artists set their sights on Ye Yunfei's group, casting malicious glances their way.
"Take action!"
Finally, someone made a move.
"Halt! Are you students of the Heavenly Dao Academy?"
A burly man with a bear-like waist and tiger-like back led over twenty people rushing forward, blocking the path in front of Ye Yunfei's group.
This burly man was at the early stage of the Soul Formation Realm!
"That's right. We are students of the Heavenly Dao Academy."
The student carrying the banner in front answered loudly.
"Haha... Good! Now, I'm going to take your heads to claim the reward. I advise you not to resist; just obediently accept death."
The burly man laughed heartily.
Pfft!
Before his laughter ended, a black light abruptly shot out from the space in front of him at an astonishing speed, instantly piercing through his brow.
The burly man died on the spot!
"What happened?"
The people behind the burly man were all greatly alarmed.
"Take action, kill them all."
Ye Yunfei said calmly.
"Kill!"
Yan Tian took the lead, charging forward first.
He knew that with Ye Yunfei around, there was nothing to fear.
The other students also rushed forward.
Whoosh!
Ye Yunfei unleashed the Heavenly Soul Sword, striking out.
Aah...
Immediately, the martial artists who followed the burly man screamed, clutching their heads.
Next, these martial artists were easily slain by the Heavenly Dao Academy students.
"Master, I'll collect the spoils!"
Hu Miao appeared, eagerly rushing over to collect the belongings of the slain martial artists.
After all, treasures were scattered everywhere in the Divine Fall Land. These martial artists had been inside for some time; anyone who survived until now would have gathered some harvest, more or less.
"What's going on?"
Many onlookers in the distance watched with concealed astonishment.
"Too satisfying!"
After killing, these Heavenly Dao Academy students all felt exhilarated.
After all, they had been hunted down like stray dogs earlier.
Now, they had a sense of vindication.
"Continue forward."
Ye Yunfei said.
The group continued onward.
Not long after.
"Halt!"
Not long after, another batch of martial artists rushed forward, blocking the path.
"Kill."
Ye Yunfei directly ordered.
Kill!
The over twenty students charged forward like wolves and tigers.
Ye Yunfei unleashed the Heavenly Soul Sword to assist them.
The martial artists who came to block the path were attacked by the Heavenly Soul Sword, screaming and clutching their heads. How could they offer any resistance? In moments, they were all slaughtered!
Hiss!
Martial artists watching from a distance gasped cold air.
"These Heavenly Dao Academy students are too terrifying! Best not to provoke them easily!"
Someone couldn't help but whisper.
"Let's go!"
Ye Yunfei waved his hand, leading the students forward.
From then on, along the way, martial artists wanting to earn the bounty occasionally rushed forward to block the path, intending to act.
But with Ye Yunfei present, regardless of whether they were at the Primordial Soul Realm or Soul Formation Realm, no matter how many they were, it wasn't enough!
Among them was a group of over a hundred martial artists, including over a dozen Soul Formation Realm experts. Seeing Ye Yunfei's group, they immediately surrounded them.
"Halt! We are disciples of the Fire-Worshipping Cult from the Great Blaze Star Domain..."
The leader, a red-robed man at the mid-stage Soul Formation Realm, spoke with imposing authority.
He saw that these over twenty Heavenly Dao Academy students were all at the Primordial Soul Realm, so he looked down on them, wearing a haughty expression.
However, before the red-robed man finished speaking.
"Die!"
Ye Yunfei pointed a finger.
Boom...
The Xuanci Mountain shot out from Ye Yunfei's body, instantly transforming into a peak dozens of meters tall, hovering in mid-air, releasing vast magnetic field energy that enveloped the Fire-Worshipping Cult disciples.
Sizzle...
Silver Xuanci light filled the sky like a great silver rainstorm, violently shooting down.
Aah...
Cries of agony rang out as the Fire-Worshipping Cult disciples were pierced by the Xuanci light, their bodies riddled with bloody holes.
"Charge, kill them all!"
Ye Yunfei waved his hand.
Kill!
The over twenty students charged forward.
Under Ye Yunfei's control, the Xuanci magnetic field and Xuanci light had no effect on these students!
The Fire-Worshipping Cult disciples, suppressed by the Xuanci magnetic field and light, had little ability to fight back.
The over a dozen Soul Formation Realm experts were slain cleanly in the blink of an eye as Ye Yunfei deployed the Five Elements Immortal Slaying Sword Formation.
"Master, these fellows' harvest isn't bad!"
Hu Miao rushed over, collecting one spatial ring after another, grinning from ear to ear.
"Heavens! So terrifying!"
"These Heavenly Dao Academy students' combat power is too dreadful; each one is like a little demon king of slaughter!"
Many martial artists passing by and watching from a distance were frightened to their core.
This group of Fire-Worshipping Cult disciples numbered over a hundred, with over a dozen Soul Formation Realm experts, yet they were all slaughtered in moments!
"From now on, we must absolutely not provoke the Heavenly Dao Academy students."
Many witnesses couldn't help but think to themselves.
Moreover, quite a few martial artists even took out their Message Jade Slips to send messages to their sect-mates or friends, warning them never to provoke Heavenly Dao Academy people again!
Ye Yunfei led the over twenty students onward.
Finally, they arrived before a vast stretch of mountainous terrain.
At this time, before this mountainous area, a massive crowd of martial artists had gathered. At a glance, figures were faintly visible, densely packed, nearly ten thousand people!
Everyone's gazes were fixed on the vast mountainous region ahead.
However, for the time being, no one dared to venture in.
