"That's the residence of the Heavenly Mandate Academy. Anyone who trespasses will be killed, except for members of the Heavenly Mandate Academy," Bai Renhan explained.
Gu Yifeng suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. No wonder Tianyu Academy has been able to stand firm in Tianyu City for hundreds of years and maintain its dominant position. The strength of its guards alone is powerful enough, far beyond what ordinary forces can match."
The two then went into a restaurant, ordered some food, and chatted about the local customs and interesting stories of various cities while eating. They spent the time quite happily.
"Boom..." A loud sound rang out, and many people looked in that direction. They saw a young man in white robes walking in the air, surrounded by endless and dazzling flame patterns. Several figures followed behind him, each with a powerful and imposing aura. They were all Yuanhuang level experts.
These people had an arrogant and unruly demeanor, looking down on everyone, and moved with unrestrained grace, as if they were in their own backyard, playing around as they pleased.
"It's him!" Bai Renhan's gaze sharpened, and his expression changed slightly.
He never expected to run into him here.
"Sign in to Tianyu Academy and receive the Golden Protection reward!"
Gu Yifeng noticed Bai Renhan's reaction and raised his eyebrows slightly. He looked into the void and saw a group of figures slowly walking towards them. It was the group of white-clad youths he had met at the teahouse earlier.
At this moment, the youths had a mocking look on their faces, as if they were toying with their prey. Their gazes swept over Bai Renhan and Gu Yifeng, finally settling on Gu Yifeng, and a smile appeared on their lips.
The young man in white looked at Gu Yifeng and said, "Your name is Gu Yifeng, right?"
"Not bad." Gu Yifeng responded indifferently, his tone extremely cold.
"I am Lei Yantian, the third prince of the Lei Yan clan. I happened to meet you two at the teahouse today. Would you do me the honor of having a drink?" Lei Yantian said with a loud laugh, his voice extremely seductive. However, Gu Yifeng remained unmoved and said indifferently, "No interest. Please go ahead."
As Gu Yifeng finished speaking, many eyes in the restaurant turned to this side, a ripple of emotion stirring in their hearts. These two were quite bold, daring to refuse even Lei Yantian's invitation.
Lei Yantian's expression stiffened slightly. He had assumed that, given his status as the third prince of the Lei Yan clan, these two would not dare to disobey his orders. After all, in Tianyu City, no force was willing to provoke the Lei Yan clan unless they wanted to die.
But the scene before him was completely beyond his imagination.
He even suspected that these two guys were stupid, completely unaware of what Lei Yanshi meant, and had so easily offended him to death. How foolish.
"Hehe, what a pair of fearless young calves!"
A sarcastic voice came from the mouth of a man next to Lei Yantian. This man was burly and strong, with bronze skin and bulging muscles, giving him an explosive sense of power. In particular, his eyes seemed to be able to devour people's souls, bringing a great sense of oppression.
Gu Yifeng's gaze fell on this person, and he immediately understood his identity. This person was a member of the Tianyu Academy's law enforcement team.
This man was already in the restaurant when Lei Yantian, the third prince of the Lei Yan clan, appeared. He kept a close eye on the situation and would immediately step in to help whenever Lei Yantian needed it.
Lei Yantian looked at the captain of the enforcement team, a sharp glint in his eyes, and asked calmly, "What should we do with them?"
"Cut off their arms and throw them into the mine to work." The enforcement team leader said calmly, his expression extremely cold.
"Yes, sir." A loud voice rang out, and Lei Yantian stepped forward, his gaze fixed on Gu Yifeng. He said coldly, "I advise you to obediently hand over the jade token, and you may be spared physical suffering."
Gu Yifeng looked at Lei Yantian with a meaningful smile on his face and said, "Since you want to steal things, then your fate will probably be even more miserable."
"Oh?" Upon hearing this, Lei Yantian's eyes suddenly turned colder, and a terrifying pressure descended upon Gu Yifeng. Streams of intensely hot flames shot out, piercing through Gu Yifeng's body.
A layer of purple-gold light emanated from Gu Yifeng's body, resisting the impact of the flames. At the same time, he struck out with his palm, the palm print roaring out and slamming into the flames. The flames shattered instantly, and Gu Yifeng's palm continued to strike forward, attempting to suppress Lei Yantian.
However, just as Gu Yifeng's attack was about to reach Lei Yantian's body, a fiery red figure appeared behind him and suddenly threw a punch that collided with Gu Yifeng's palm print.
"Bang..."
A muffled groan rang out, and a figure flew out—it was none other than the person who had attacked Gu Yifeng earlier.
"How is this possible..." The surrounding people stared blankly, their minds going completely blank.
The person who was blasted away was a member of the Heavenly Revelation Academy's enforcement team. His strength was immense, practically invincible below the fifth level of the Yuan Emperor realm, yet he was defeated.
Lei Yantian was also stunned, a look of horror flashing across his face. He had witnessed the whole thing. The other party had repelled his men with just one palm strike. At this moment, he vaguely realized that he had made a serious mistake and underestimated the man's fighting power.
"This guy is indeed very strong." Bai Renhan murmured. Although he had guessed it before, he still couldn't help but be amazed after witnessing it with his own eyes. He knew that Gu Yifeng had cultivated a powerful technique, but this was too terrifying.
"Stop testing him. You can't possibly be his match." A calm voice came from behind, and the speaker was another figure.
This was a middle-aged man, slender and upright, dressed in black, which made him look exceptionally capable. He exuded a sharp sword aura that inspired awe.
This person is also a disciple of Tianyu Academy, and the captain of the law enforcement team of Tianyu Academy, Mo Lishang.
Upon hearing Mo Lishang's voice, a hint of displeasure flashed in Lei Yantian's eyes. He was the third prince of the Lei Yan clan, with an extremely noble status. How could he be so disrespected by someone at the peak of the fifth level of the Yuan King realm?
However, when he thought of that palm strike from earlier, his heart trembled. The power of that palm strike far surpassed his cultivation level. Just how terrifying must it be?
This time, he really ran into a brick wall.
Lei Yantian glanced around, then flashed a bright smile and apologized, "I was just joking earlier. I hope you all don't mind. Farewell!"
He bowed to the crowd to take his leave, then turned and left with the people behind him, quickly disappearing into the restaurant.
"Third Imperial Brother!" Lei Yanlie exclaimed in shock. He hadn't expected his Third Imperial Brother to back down so easily; it was utterly shameful.
Gu Yifeng stared at Lei Yantian's retreating figure, shaking his head inwardly. If Lei Yantian had only come to cause trouble, Gu Yifeng might have attacked him directly because of his status. However, since Lei Yantian had proposed the duel, Gu Yifeng would have to bear the consequences himself.
Although Lei Yantian holds a high position, he does not know how to restrain himself. He is arrogant and domineering because he is of royal blood from the Lei Yan clan. Such a person will suffer sooner or later.
