Chapter 1482: Swift Vengeance

In the blink of an eye, two years had passed.

Time flew by so quickly that before one could even reminisce, all the glories and humiliations had already become a thing of the past.

Such is the nature of life.

When one lives in pain, every moment feels like an eternity, and the phrase "days drag on like years" is insufficient to describe the torment. But when one lives joyfully, even several years can slip away like sand through one's fingers, silently becoming memories.

Unconsciously, the New Sword Sect had grown and expanded rapidly, its influence overshadowing all other major sects.

As Yi Feng absorbed the treasures from the vault and broke through to the Origin Infant Realm, the New Sword Sect became the only second-grade major sect in the Blazing Fire Kingdom. The other major sects had long since submitted to Yi Feng's authority, willingly becoming vassals of the New Sword Sect.

Almost the entire Blazing Fire Kingdom was now under the New Sword Sect's control. The once lofty royal family had been completely sidelined and forgotten.

The power and strength of the New Sword Sect had reached its peak!

It was the fifteenth day of the eighth month, the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Under the moonlight, they drank late into the night. The various vassal sects respectfully took their leave, and the bustling hall of the New Sword Sect finally returned to peace.

The four brothers sat together, laughing, their eyes filled with indescribable joy.

A young man in black sat sideways on a large chair, a smile on his face.

"These past two years, I've explored every corner of the capital. I've finally figured out how to be an excellent scoundrel!"

Hearing this, the toad also laughed, using its webbed paw to wipe the wine from its mouth.

"Now I can eat my fill too!"

"Looking back, following you and Big Brother Yi in guerrilla warfare was the smartest decision of my life. From now on, we four brothers will share wealth and life together!"

The snail didn't speak, but nodded silently, its expression firm.

Seeing the deep bond between the three brothers, Yi Feng felt a surge of emotion. Gazing at the bright moon hanging high outside the door, a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

"Indeed. Within the Blazing Fire Kingdom, our New Sword Sect has no rivals..."

Before he could finish, the young man in black looked over with understanding.

The two brothers exchanged a smile and spoke the next sentence in unison.

"It's time to go back and take revenge!"

Hearing this, the toad and the snail also exchanged a glance, their expressions serious and resolute, then spoke up one after another.

"We agreed to share life and wealth together. Big Brother Yi's enemies are our enemies!"

"Yes, let's go together!"

The young man in black laughed heartily, slapping the toad's back with a loud clap.

"Hahaha!"

"Well said! That's what brothers are for!"

The four of them laughed heartily, their eyes shining with anticipation.

That night, eighteen urgent orders from the sect spread throughout the Blazing Fire Kingdom, startling all the branches and vassal forces, causing a shockwave that spread for thousands of miles!

The next morning, as the sun rose, thousands of cultivators flew eastward. Divine Mansion and Heavenly Sun Realm experts were everywhere, their dark figures exuding a terrifying aura, blotting out the sky as they headed straight for the South Li Kingdom!

The terrifying lineup alarmed the surrounding countries. Wherever they passed, the sects turned pale, and the news spread like wildfire. The South Li Kingdom was thrown into panic, with many people shocked and distraught!

No one could have imagined.

The prodigy Yi Feng, who they had once hunted, had returned with an army!

The bloody memories of the battle at Soul-Severing Cliff resurfaced, plunging the entire South Li Kingdom into terror!

...

In the northern border of the South Li Kingdom.

In a sect hall, disciples and elders were in a state of panic, trembling as they read the messages on their jade slips, exclamations and arguments erupting everywhere!

"Yi Feng is back!"

"The New Sword Sect from the Blazing Fire Kingdom has sent thousands of experts, and they're about to reach our South Li Kingdom!"

"I heard the New Sword Sect is a second-grade major sect, with countless experts and immense power, a behemoth that dominates the western regions. And their sect leader is Yi Feng?"

"How is that possible!"

"Big Brother Yi is coming back?!"

The exclamations grew more intense, everyone's eyes filled with panic, until a young girl walked in from outside, her face filled with surprise, interrupting the chatter.

But upon hearing the words "Big Brother Yi," the expressions of everyone present became extremely complicated!

Suddenly, the hall fell into silence. The disciples and elders looked conflicted and shaken, not uttering a word for a long time. The old man on the main seat flashed with anger, his furious roar echoing around!

"Bastard!"

"Yi Feng stole the sacred treasure from the holy land, betraying the expectations of our South Li sects. Later, he slaughtered disciples from various sects at Soul-Severing Cliff. Such a dishonorable and ungrateful person is no longer the chief disciple of our sect!"

"I refuse to believe he could achieve such dominance with the New Sword Sect!"

His words made everyone nod in fear, seemingly calming the situation.

However.

Including the old man himself, everyone's hearts were filled with complex emotions, doubt and regret flashing in their eyes, and some even showed expressions of remorse and conflict.

In this moment of silence.

Suddenly!

An indescribable pressure spread from the sky, enveloping the entire hall, startling everyone!

The old man immediately led everyone outside.

Only then did they see dozens of unfamiliar experts standing in the air, their dark figures exuding a murderous aura, like dark clouds covering the sky!

After just a few moments of observation, the old man's eyes trembled with shock.

"Divine Mansion Realm?!"

These words instantly stunned everyone, their faces filled with shock as they looked up at the sky!

Back then, even a prodigy like Yi Feng had only reached this realm when he became famous in the sect. Now, there were dozens of experts at the same level standing in the air. This was simply unbelievable!

Even though they were witnessing it with their own eyes, many found it hard to believe.

The terrifying lineup, unheard of before, left everyone speechless with fear!

The old man's expression darkened, and he gritted his teeth, looking up with trepidation as he spoke.

"Gentlemen."

"We have no grievances with you. Why have you suddenly appeared at our sect?"

Halfway through his words, the old man suddenly turned pale, his voice filled with suspicion as he probed.

"Could it be..."

"You are the legendary disciples of the New Sword Sect?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the disciples and elders erupted in shock!

"The New Sword Sect?!"

"It must be them! Only the legendary New Sword Sect could have such terrifying power!"

"If that's the case, their sect leader Yi Feng is that traitor from back then?!"

"How is that possible!"

"Yi Feng has sent such a terrifying lineup, clearly using the high-level forces of the New Sword Sect to wipe us out. What a ruthless move!"

Before the exclamations could subside, a terrifying pressure descended from the sky, instantly making everyone fear for their lives, not daring to utter a word!

Under the tense gazes of the crowd.

The leader in the sky looked displeased, his cold eyes sweeping over them as he spoke.

"Audacious!"

"Our sect leader's name is not to be sullied by the likes of you!"

"We are the Flying Star Altar, a subordinate of the New Sword Sect, sent by the Grand Protector to avenge our sect leader for the past hunts. A third-rate sect like yours isn't even worthy of our high-level forces. You overestimate yourselves!"

"Surrender now, and we'll leave your corpses intact. If you dare to slander us again, we'll tear you to pieces!"

His deep voice, infused with powerful spiritual energy, caused many disciples to bleed from their mouths.

But more terrifying than this display of power was the shocking truth in his words. Just hearing a few words about the New Sword Sect, everyone had already lost the will to fight!

"Such terrifying power, and they're just a subordinate force?!"

"What kind of behemoth is the New Sword Sect?!"

"Yi Feng actually commands such power? How is that possible!"

In just a few years, the gap had become unimaginably vast.

The once-hunted Yi Feng had grown to an incredibly terrifying level, with forces under his command that were now beyond their reach. Many found it hard to accept this drastic change, muttering in despair.

Amidst the panic.

The old man also turned pale, staggering back, his eyes filled with regret.

"How could this be..."

"The New Sword Sect was really founded by Yi Feng?!"

"If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have followed the crowd to hunt him down. A single misstep has cost our sect a century of legacy!"

As he spoke, whether from the overwhelming pressure or the weight of his own regret, the old man suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood!

"Pfft!"

Instantly, the entire sect was thrown into chaos.

Before they could react, the experts in the sky descended like meteors, blood mist erupting everywhere, cries of regret and agony filling the air. The leader who had brought the group remained expressionless throughout, only sending a respectful message after the massacre was over.

The next moment.

Thousands of miles away in the eastern border of the South Li Kingdom.

Outside another major sect, also drenched in blood, the young man in black read through various messages, then spoke solemnly to Yi Feng, who stood before him.

"All the sects that hunted us in the past have been repaid in blood!"

"Once we destroy this sect, we'll head to that damned Snow Moon Holy Land!"

Yi Feng nodded slightly.

"Alright."

Since the betrayal years ago, he had seen through the falseness of the world and severed all past ties. His heart was no longer bound by anything, except for his brothers and the sect. Everything else was but a fleeting cloud.

In life, one should seek swift vengeance!

Calmly watching the bloody battle within the distant sect come to an end, Yi Feng turned and lightly waved his sleeve, not lingering for a moment, leading the group into the sky.

In an instant.

Countless figures gathered from all directions, their terrifying auras filling the sky. The sects of the South Li Kingdom fell one by one, as the army swept through like a storm!

The overwhelming pressure bore down on the Snow Moon Holy Land!
