If the Pang Clan’s people come to the Tianxuan Continent looking for me, my remaining here at the Hudao Academy will only bring trouble upon the Academy and the Ye Family. Compared to the Pang Clan, the Hudao Academy and the Ye Family are far too weak.
Ye Tianpeng once again thought about this problem.
"So be it.
I should leave Hudao Academy," Ye Tianpeng sighed.
Thus, Ye Tianpeng went to find Xie Changkong.
"Headmaster Xie, I plan to leave Hudao Academy," Ye Tianpeng said.
"Oh?
Patriarch Ye, where do you intend to go?
Is there something you need to handle?
Do you need any assistance?"
Xie Changkong was taken aback and inquired.
He noticed Ye Tianpeng's mood seemed off and was somewhat concerned.
Ye Tianpeng was Ye Yunfei’s father; his status was far too important!
Because of Ye Yunfei, the Hudao Academy had become the Tianxuan Continent's most powerful super-faction—indeed, the only one!
Although Ye Yunfei had already left, he remained the academy's most vital spiritual pillar!
Because of his son, Ye Tianpeng received treatment akin to that of a supreme emperor, both within the Hudao Academy and across the entire Tianxuan Continent.
"I have nothing particular to attend to. It's just that I suddenly felt the urge to travel around a bit," Ye Tianpeng said casually.
Of course, he wouldn’t tell Xie Changkong about the matter concerning the Pang Clan.
The Pang Clan was far too formidable. Telling Xie Changkong would serve no purpose; often, knowing something one shouldn’t could even be harmful.
"Travel around?
Patriarch Ye, are you missing your son?" Xie Changkong asked.
"Yes," Ye Tianpeng replied.
"In that case, I’ll assign a group of the academy's experts to accompany you as you travel across the Tianxuan Continent," Xie Changkong suggested.
"That's not necessary.
I'd prefer to wander alone to clear my mind," Ye Tianpeng shook his head.
"Very well.
It’s good for you to travel and relax.
The Tianxuan Continent is currently peaceful; there should be little danger in general.
Moreover, our Hudao Academy has established branch strongholds in nearly every city across the continent. No matter which region you go to, you can easily find one of our academy's outposts.
If you have any needs, you can go to those branch strongholds anytime.
You can also send me a message.
This communication jade slip is specially made by me; it contains a trace of my Soul Power aura. You can use it to contact me quickly," Xie Changkong said after a moment of thought, producing a communication jade slip and handing it to Ye Tianpeng.
"Alright," Ye Tianpeng accepted the jade slip.
"Patriarch Ye, do be careful in all things," Xie Changkong urged.
"Headmaster Xie, rest assured, I will be careful," Ye Tianpeng said.
Afterward, Ye Tianpeng returned to the area where the Ye Family members resided and gave some instructions to a few elders.
Finally, Ye Tianpeng left the Hudao Academy.
"Relay an order: notify the heads of all our academy’s branch strongholds and have them keep an eye on Patriarch Ye's whereabouts at all times, ensuring his safety.
If any situation arises, report immediately!" Headmaster Xie stood atop a mountain peak, watching Ye Tianpeng's receding figure, and spoke to an elder by his side.
"Understood. I will arrange it at once," the academy elder beside him nodded and turned to leave.
At the same time.
Xuanhuang Star Domain, Northern Desolation Region, inside the underground cave complex.
"Young Master Ye, I have already organized a group of people to enter your spatial treasure to collectively train in those three battle formations," Elder Tang Wu came before Ye Yunfei and reported.
"Excellent. Have everyone seize the time to practice these three formations until they are proficient.
I will inspect them upon my return," Ye Yunfei said.
"Young Master Ye, are you going away?" Elder Tang Wu asked.
"Yes.
I am heading to the Guyao Realm to exterminate the Ancient Demon Race," Ye Yunfei stated.
Exterminate the Ancient Demon Race!
This had been a goal set by Ye Yunfei ever since he first left the Tianxuan Continent.
In years past, the Ancient Demon Race had twice launched large-scale invasions of the Tianxuan Continent, bringing immense calamity!
Moreover, the Ancient Demon Race's three demon kings had repeatedly sent men to hunt Ye Yunfei. Particularly the Ouyue Demon King, who had already targeted Ye Yunfei while he was still on the Tianxuan Continent.
With Ye Yunfei's temperament, he would naturally not let this slide easily.
Besides, Ye Yunfei understood that if the Ancient Demon Race wasn't dealt with promptly, it would inevitably become a hidden trouble for him in the future.
Ye Yunfei planned to bring a group of people from the Tianxuan Continent to the Xuanhuang Star Domain.
This included his father, his clansmen, friends, and members of the Hudao Academy.
After all, the laws of heaven and earth in the Tianxuan Continent were incomplete; the highest cultivation realm for martial artists there was limited to the Grotto-Heaven Ten Realms, which was not conducive to long-term development.
Only by exterminating the Ancient Demon Race could Ye Yunfei feel at ease about bringing people from the Tianxuan Continent to the Xuanhuang Star Domain.
Because the people of the Tianxuan Continent and the Ancient Demon Race harbored an enmity as deep as the sea!
"Exterminate the Ancient Demon Race!" Elder Tang Wu was first startled.
Then, when he recalled that Ye Yunfei had already killed over a dozen Imperial Realm experts, he relaxed completely.
With Ye Yunfei's current strength, he truly had the capability to exterminate the Ancient Demon Race!
"The Ancient Demon Race were the main enemies who annihilated our Tang Clan, and they even captured so many of our clansmen to use as slaves.
Elder Tang Boguang keeps telling me that if there is ever a chance in the future, we must personally charge into the Guyao Realm and wipe out the Ancient Demon Race.
Young Master Ye, since you now intend to exterminate the Ancient Demon Race, why not take a portion of our Tang Clan members with you? Especially those clansmen who were once captured and enslaved by the Ancient Demon Race. Let them personally take revenge in the Guyao Realm," Elder Tang Wu suggested after some thought.
"For Elder Tang Boguang, exterminating the Ancient Demon Race has become a knot in his heart," Elder Tang Wu added.
"So that's the case…
Alright then. Go inform Elder Tang Boguang and have them prepare; we will set out afterward.
Also, gather all those from the Tianxuan Continent who were once slaves of the Ancient Demon Race.
I will lead them all into the Guyao Realm and let them kill to their heart's content," Ye Yunfei said after a moment's consideration.
"Excellent!" Elder Tang Wu nodded and hurried away.
A short while later.
"Young Master Ye! Is it true you plan to exterminate the Ancient Demon Race?!" an old man came rushing over and asked Ye Yunfei excitedly.
This old man was none other than Tang Boguang!
"It is," Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Wonderful!
I have finally waited for this day!
Young Master Ye, I beg you to take me along!" Tang Boguang was utterly beside himself with excitement.
"Elder Tang, rest assured, I will take you with me," Ye Yunfei said with a smile.
"I thank Young Master Ye for this great kindness!" Tang Boguang bowed deeply toward Ye Yunfei.
"Congratulations on completely recovering your strength," Ye Yunfei said, sensing Tang Boguang's energy aura.
"It’s mainly thanks to those pills Young Master Ye gifted me that allowed me to recover so quickly," Tang Boguang said.
A short while later.
A large crowd arrived before Ye Yunfei.
Roughly thirty thousand-odd were people from the Tianxuan Continent.
Over five thousand were from the Tang Clan.
All of them were individuals who had once been slaves in the Guyao Realm!
Upon learning that they would soon follow Ye Yunfei into the Guyao Realm to kill, each one was brimming with excitement, eager for action.
"Very well, let us depart."
Ye Yunfei surveyed the crowd and said in a clear voice.
Then,
Leading over thirty thousand people, Ye Yunfei marched out of the underground cave complex in a mighty procession. They boarded several dozen flying ships and set off toward the direction of the Guyao Realm.
