In the Northern Wilderness Domain, the most powerful experts were only at the late-stage Soul Formation Realm.
Ye Yunfei had just slain Tianxuan Sacred Land's Elder Ruan with a single move in front of everyone. The deterrence factor was simply too great.
How could the leaders of these major forces dare to openly oppose Ye Yunfei to his face now?
"Young Master Wu An..."
Tianxuan Sacred Master's gaze suddenly turned towards Wu An.
He felt that the Tianxuan Sacred Land's only remaining pillar of support right now was this Young Master Wu An.
"Truly, seeing you in person exceeds your reputation, Ye Yunfei. You are indeed a rare genius.
And you're stepping forward for a friend, which isn't wrong.
So here's what I suggest: let's make peace with a handshake, and pretend the earlier incidents never happened.
Today is my joyous occasion, you can even stay and have a drink."
Wu An's expression shifted between cloudy and clear, changing rapidly. After a moment, he finally spoke.
He had decided not to provoke a conflict with Ye Yunfei for now, planning to seek revenge later. This was also the result of the repeated sound transmission urgings from the gray-robed elder beside him.
"Young Master Wu, you..."
Hearing Wu An's words, Tianxuan Sacred Master exclaimed in shock. He never expected Wu An to also back down before Ye Yunfei.
The Tianxuan Sacred Land had just lost so many experts, including one at the late-stage Soul Formation Realm. The losses were simply too great. To just let it go like this truly rankled Tianxuan Sacred Master.
"Sacred Master of Tianxuan, did you not hear my words clearly?"
Wu An glared at Tianxuan Sacred Master. All he wanted now was to stabilize the situation with Ye Yunfei first.
"Very well.
Since Young Master Wu An has spoken, our Tianxuan Sacred Land accedes to Young Master Wu An's suggestion."
Tianxuan Sacred Master finally sighed and conceded.
"What kind of thing do you think you are?
What gives you the right to interfere in my affairs?"
Ye Yunfei's gaze fell on Wu An, a cold sneer appearing on his face.
"You!"
Upon hearing this, Wu An stiffened, his face flushing with anger. He came from the Wu Clan. Wherever he traveled abroad, he was always treated with the deference of stars clustering around the moon. When had he ever been spoken to like this before?
"Let me remind you of something.
She is also my friend.
You dare to force my friend to marry you? You have some nerve."
Ye Yunfei said coldly, his eyes utterly devoid of emotion.
"What?!
That woman is also Ye Yunfei's friend!
Trouble is brewing!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. Many people in the square knew Wen Zi was acting against her will, forced into this marriage with Wu An.
"You..."
Young Master Wu An's face underwent a drastic change.
"Ye Yunfei, don't press your advantage! Do you truly believe our Wu Clan fears you?!"
Young Master Wu An roared angrily.
"The Wu Clan?
I've even killed Wu Qilang, why would I regard your Wu Clan as anything significant?
Dare to provoke my friend, and you will undoubtedly die."
Ye Yunfei's face was filled with disdain.
"Young Master Wu An, the situation is unfavorable. We should leave immediately!"
The gray-robed elder beside him wore a grave expression, transmitting his voice to Wu An.
"Hmph, Ye Yunfei, just you wait! Our Wu Clan will not let today's matter rest!"
Wu An flicked his sleeves angrily and spoke. Then, he activated his movement technique and turned to leave.
"You won't be leaving."
Ye Yunfei shook his head lightly, his hands clasped behind his back.
"Young Master Wu An, quickly!"
The gray-robed elder's expression shifted as he urged in a low voice.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Wu An and the gray-robed elder shot towards the distant horizon like falling stars.
Wu An was only at the early-stage Soul Formation Realm, and the gray-robed elder was at the late-stage. Neither of them had the courage to face Ye Yunfei in battle.
Clang! Clang!...
Suddenly, Ye Yunfei raised a finger. The Five Elements Immortal Slayer Swords shot out, like five dazzling jiao-dragons, chasing after Wu An and the gray-robed elder with a furious momentum.
Immediately, terrifyingly frigid sword Qi enveloped Wu An and the gray-robed elder. Not only was the lethality of the Five Elements Immortal-Slaying Sword Formation horrifying, but the speed of its attack was equally dreadful.
Wu An and the gray-robed elder simply couldn't escape.
"Ye Yunfei! How dare you kill me! The Wu Clan will not let you off!"
Wu An screamed in terror.
Pfft! Pfft!
In the next instant, the five spiritual swords swept past, simultaneously shredding Wu An and the gray-robed elder into dust, their soul and form utterly annihilated.
"Young Master Wu An is dead?"
Everyone who saw this was stunned into wide-eyed, open-mouthed silence. For a moment, the entire square fell deathly quiet. The high-level members of Tianxuan Sacred Land trembled with fear one by one.
"This is bad!
Our Tianxuan Sacred Land has invited a great calamity!"
Including Tianxuan Sacred Master, all the high-level members were terrified, their legs going weak, as they stared at Ye Yunfei with fearful eyes.
One had to know, forcing Wen Zi to marry Wu An was something Tianxuan Sacred Land was also involved in. They had even been the ones handling and hosting the wedding. Their involvement ran deep.
Now, Ye Yunfei had killed even Young Master Wu An. Naturally, he would show no courtesy to Tianxuan Sacred Land either.
Just at that moment.
"Hehehe..."
A ghostly, eerie laughter suddenly rang out from the central platform in the square.
Then, Huang Lao and Hu Miao appeared simultaneously beside Wen Zi.
With a wave of his hand, Huang Lao released a cloud of ghostly mist.
Aah! Aah!...
Immediately, all the servants and maids surrounding Wen Zi screamed as they fell to the ground, blood flowing from their mouths and noses.
Hu Miao waved a hand, completely undoing all the seals within Wen Zi's body.
Instantly, Wen Zi's body regained its freedom.
"Big Weirdo, luckily you came in time, otherwise I'd have had to marry that disgusting fellow!
If that had happened, this lady's purity would've been lost!"
Wen Zi patted her chest, looking quite relieved as she called out to Ye Yunfei.
"Don't worry, I've already killed that disgusting fellow."
Ye Yunfei smiled.
"Good job!
Big Weirdo, this lady would rather marry you than that disgusting fellow!"
Wen Zi declared.
Ye Yunfei pursed his lips, having nothing to say in reply.
"Hehehe, Miss Wen, if you want to marry my master, you better seize the opportunity and be a bit more proactive. My master is quite popular," Hu Miao laughed.
"Pfft!
This lady is an invincible, youthful beauty. How could she worry about marriage? The Big Weirdo is just one of my backup options," Wen Zi lifted her small chin, speaking proudly.
"Ahem... Dugu Huan, are you alright?"
Ye Yunfei quickly changed the topic, looking towards Dugu Huan and asking.
"I'm fine, just a bit exhausted.
I expended too much just now."
Dugu Huan's face was somewhat pale. He had fought alone against over a dozen experts at the Void Sea Realm earlier, and then battled six experts at the Soul Formation Realm, giving his all, effectively pushing beyond his limits.
"It's nothing. Take this pill and you'll recover immediately.
This kind of battle is very beneficial for you."
With a flick of his finger, Ye Yunfei sent a Dao Pill flying, which landed in front of Dugu Huan.
"You're right, this kind of battle is very beneficial for me.
I feel my blade techniques have improved somewhat from the previous fight!"
Dugu Huan nodded, swallowing the pill. After consuming the Dao Pill Ye Yunfei gave him, his body recovered completely in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, the entire square remained deathly quiet. All the other martial artists watched carefully as Ye Yunfei and his companions conversed, not daring to interrupt.
"That woman really does know Ye Yunfei!"
By now, everyone could see that what Ye Yunfei had said earlier was true.
"Sacred Master, what should we do now?
That woman truly is a friend of Ye Yunfei's!"
The high-level members of Tianxuan Sacred Land turned their gazes towards Tianxuan Sacred Master one after another, secretly transmitting their words.
