Hong Mansion!
The grand residence was completely surrounded in an instant.
Upon learning that Ye Qingchen had destroyed the Hong Family.
Ye Cangliu's first reaction was shock, but after regaining his senses, he was filled with murderous intent. He moved out overnight, determined to root out the remnants! The entire Hong Mansion was surrounded, impenetrable!
Besides the members of the Ye Family.
In the distance, large crowds gathered to watch the spectacle. Besides last night's guests, eminent figures of Cyan Cloud City rushed to the scene. Even the patriarchs of the other three major families—Han Tiancheng, Zhao Jiuling, and Liu Guodong—came in person!
"Internal strife within the Ye Family?"
"The Hong Family wiped out overnight?"
The crowd processed this shocking news.
"Shuang'Er, who are these people?" Ye Cangliu swept his gaze over the crowd behind.
"Ignore them!" Ye Wushuang's expression was icy.
In fact.
In his heart, he hoped for a larger audience.
After all, Ye Qingchen was reputed as the top martial artist of the Ye Family, which he had long resented. Now, in front of everyone, he would kill two birds with one stone! Let them witness who truly is the top fighter of the Ye Family!
"The rumors seem true!"
"Ye Wushuang has indeed achieved the rank of Martial Arts Grandmaster!"
The three patriarchs Han, Liu, and Zhao.
Stared dazedly at Ye Wushuang taking the lead.
Initially, they harbored doubts about last night's events.
But upon seeing Ye Wushuang, their last hope vanished. Just by standing there, without any action, he seemed like a towering mountain, commanding respect! Like a prideful lion overlooking the world.
At the same time, they realized.
No wonder the Ye Family would so blatantly act against Ye Qingchen! With Ye Wushuang as a Martial Grandmaster, even the loss of Ye Qingchen would not alter the Ye Family's soaring trajectory!
Chirp!
Suddenly, the sky echoed with the clear cry of a crane, its sound piercing the heavens.
Before the crowd could react, a giant celestial crane appeared from the clouds. Initially seen at the horizon, in just a few blinks, it landed outside the Hong Family.
On the back of the crane stood an elder and a youth.
The elder held a duster, appearing ethereal, while the youth bore a longsword, exuding heroic spirit.
In a flash.
The surroundings plunged into silence.
Only Ye Wushuang stepped forward, bowing to the two of them:
"Disciple Ye Wushuang, greets Master! Greets Senior Mo Chen!"
Ye Cangliu's face changed dramatically, and with the crowd, hastily approached, excitedly clasping his hands, "Great Immortal, your presence graces us, forgive my lack of welcome!"
"This old man is no Great Immortal, merely an elder of the Celestial Essence Sword Sect, here to support my disciple, Wushuang."
The elder Wu Shanhe gently waved the duster.
Faced with his casual demeanor, Ye Cangliu dared not show the slightest displeasure; instead, his face flushed with excitement, nodding repeatedly, "Great Immortal, please take the main seat!"
Witnessing the sudden arrival of Wu Shanhe, turmoil erupted outside the Hong Mansion.
"Is this the mysterious mentor behind Ye Wushuang? Terrifying! He arrived on a crane, truly with the aura of an immortal!"
"And Senior Mo Chen, his aura is even stronger than Ye Wushuang's. Is he also a Martial Arts Grandmaster? Unbelievable!"
"Ye Wushuang became a Martial Arts Grandmaster under this immortal's guidance?"
The crowd erupted in exclamations.
"The Ye Family has birthed a genius, more terrifying than Ye Qingchen in his prime!"
"Indeed, from now on, the Ye Family will rise to the zenith in Cyan Cloud City; nothing can stop their ascent!"
Countless discussions filled the air.
The Ye Family's upper echelon was filled with uncontainable joy, their smiles stretching from ear to ear.
Such a scene, they dared not even imagine before. But now, it was reality, all brought forth by that young man. They thought to themselves, gazing at the young man standing on the arena—
Ye Wushuang!
Of course.
The most jubilant of all was Ye Wushuang.
Absorbing the crowd's admiration and reverent gazes, an overwhelming pride surged in his chest.
A true man should be like this!
That Ye Qingchen was merely a stepping stone to his rise.
With this thought, Ye Wushuang took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly focused, looking past the sea of people, fixing on the tightly closed gates of the Ye Mansion, "Ye Qingchen, come out and meet your doom!"
The thunderous roar reverberated, its majestic force rippling through the void. The crowd felt their heads spinning, their Qi Blood turbulent.
The entire grounds fell silent, countless eyes turned toward the gates.
As time ticked by.
Yet Ye Qingchen did not appear.
"Could it be that Ye Qingchen doesn't dare to come out?"
Someone whispered.
Yet, this scene seemed only natural to the spectators. Regardless of who it was, facing Ye Wushuang, a Martial Arts Grandmaster, fear was inevitable. After all, to defeat a Martial Arts Grandmaster, only another Grandmaster suffices!
Moreover.
Behind Ye Wushuang, stood his mysterious mentor.
"Perhaps Ye Qingchen has already fled upon the news!"
The same thought involuntarily arose in everyone's minds.
Meanwhile.
At the Hong Mansion.
Hearing the thunderous voice and the increasing murmurs, Ye Qingchen slowly rose, heading straight for the gates.
Just as he was about to push the door open, behind him, Ye Qing's voice suddenly called out, "Brother, will you come back?"
Ye Qingchen did not turn around, "I will!"
With that.
He pushed the gate open.
The murderous intent sealed overnight emerged at this moment.
