After leaving the Long Family Manor with his elites, the Long Family Master spat a mouthful of blood, the spray traveling two ters.
He had led all of the Long Family’s elite forces on a jubilant night raid, thinking he could easily kill Ye Xiu and obtain his secrets. He believed he could beco an invincible warrior and inherit Ye Xiu’s dical skills. Then, he would lead the Long Family to Yunluo City, using their status as a sponsor to enhance the family’s strength, power, wealth, and influence. By the ti the Mist Chant Martial eting concluded, the Long Family would be the world’s foremost super-clan.
The result? During the night raid on the Long Family Manor, they had not even laid eyes on Ye Xiu, yet they suffered heavy casualties and received a death notice from the Dongfang Family.
"Big Brother, it seems Ye Xiu has deep ties with the Dongfang Family. It’s going to be difficult for us to move against him in the future," his second brother said, his face grim.
"Ye Xiu was abroad for ten years and only just returned. Plus, he never went to the Northern Territory, so how could he possibly be connected to the Dongfang Family? Soone from the Dongfang Family must have gone to dicine King Valley and inford Ye Xiu, who then used them to plot against us," the Long Family Master said, as if he had seen through Ye Xiu’s entire sche.
"Ye Xiu is a complete bastard, far too cunning," his second brother said fiercely.
The Long Family Master gritted his teeth in rage, forced to admit that he was far inferior to Ye Xiu in terms of strategy. He asked, "What were our losses from the raid?"
His second brother took a mont to tally the figures before replying, "We lost 89 War Gods and 7 experts stronger than them. Additionally, 264 War Gods and 13 of the higher-level experts were injured. Among the wounded, 35 War Gods and 4 of those stronger experts have missing or broken limbs."
The Long Family Master sucked in a sharp breath of cold air, his heart aching at the report. The entire night raid on the Long Family Manor had lasted little more than a minute, yet their losses were catastrophic.
"Big Brother, are we still proceeding to Yunluo City overnight as planned?" his fourth brother asked.
The Long Family Master glanced at the severely injured mbers with missing limbs and snarled, "Those with minor injuries will co with us to Yunluo City. As for those with missing limbs and severe wounds... living is just another form of suffering. Let’s grant them an early release!"
「On the chartered plane to Yunluo City」
There were only five people aboard: Ye Xiu, Qin Qing, Gong Jin, Chloe, and An Dongye. From the mont he stepped on the plane, Ye Xiu had been staring out the window, as silent as a statue.
Qin Qing, Gong Jin, Chloe, and An Dongye tacitly chose to remain silent. They knew Ye Xiu’s past.
While Ye Xiu’s mother was still pregnant, his father, Ye Zhong, had an affair with Zheng Yiwen. In her ambition to usurp his mother’s position, Zheng Yiwen constantly called her to berate, insult, and curse her, even asking to her face when she was finally going to die. When Ye Xiu’s mother confronted Ye Zhong about his cheating and his mistress’s brazen provocations, he simply slapped her. Under Zheng Yiwen’s influence, his mother’s status within the Ye Family plumted. During one family gathering, Ye Zhong even kicked his pregnant mother’s stomach, nearly causing a miscarriage.
On the day Ye Xiu was born, Ye Tianming expelled him and his mother from the Ye Family. That very sa day, Ye Zhong officially married Zheng Yiwen.
After Ye Xiu and his mother returned to the Kong Family in Jin Ye City, the Ye Family continued to tornt them. Under Ye Tianming’s machinations, Ye Xiu’s uncle was wrongfully imprisoned, and the Kong Family was driven to bankruptcy.
Ten years ago, after Ye Xiu won the crown of the Xuanse dicine King, the shaless Ye Family insisted on bringing him back, intending to use his fa for their own benefit. Later, after he was frad, Ye Tianming and Ye Zhong did not hesitate to kick him out of the family again. Ye Tianming even held a press conference, claiming that Ye Xiu was a bastard born from his mother’s affair.
Despite all this, Ye Xiu had never hated the Ye Family while his mother and maternal grandparents were still alive. Before the age of sixteen, Ye Xiu’s kindness was almost heartbreaking. However, the mont his mother and grandparents were tragically killed, the Ye Family beca the greatest source of hatred in his heart, a hatred that burned even hotter than his enmity for the Long Family.
If Ye Zhong had never cheated, and if Ye Xiu had not been expelled from the Ye Family on the day he was born, then the tragedies of the last twenty-six years would never have occurred. The infamous Huang Quan, who had slaughtered countless lives and stained the world with blood, would never have co into existence.
The ultimate source of the hatred in Ye Xiu’s heart was the Ye Family.
Therefore, to Ye Xiu, Yunluo City was not a hotown. It was the birthplace of his deep-seated hatred.
「Three in the morning」
The private jet landed at Yunluo City Airport. As Ye Xiu stepped out of the terminal, he looked up at the starry sky and muttered, "The air in Yunluo City has a rather strong scent of blood!"
His expression was calm and his gaze was profound, showing no hint of emotion, yet his voice was low and trembled slightly.
"I imagine the necks of the Ye Family are clean by now. You should send them a death notice," Qin Qing said, her face devoid of expression.
Ye Xiu did not reply. Instead, he said, "You all go on to Yunluo Mansion first. I want to be alone for a while."
Over the past decade, Ye Xiu had focused his plans on Jin Ye City and Yunluo City. He had purchased a villa in the prestigious Yunluo Mansion long ago—a 1,700-square-ter property that cost over a hundred million.
"Alright," Qin Qing nodded, giving a aningful look to Gong Jin, Chloe, and An Dongye. The four won boarded a luxury RV parked by the roadside. They knew that Ye Xiu did not need company right now; he needed to be alone to calm down and suppress his violent killing intent.
Watching the RV drive away, Ye Xiu took out his phone and dialed Ye Tianming’s number.
An annoyed voice ca through the phone, "Who is this in the middle of the night?"
"Are the necks of the Ye Family clean?" Ye Xiu asked.
"Ye Xiu?" Ye Tianming recognized his voice, but there was no fear in it. Instead, it held a mocking laugh. "What? Have you finally co to Yunluo City to take revenge on the Ye Family?"
Ye Xiu was taken aback. "From the sound of it, you seem eager to die."
Ye Tianming laughed. "Oh, I do want to die. The entire Ye Family wants to die. But unfortunately for you, you’re too late. Even if we offered our heads to you now, you wouldn’t dare chop them off."
"And what gives you the confidence to say that?" Ye Xiu asked, curious.
"Tonight—oh, it’s three in the morning, so I should say last night—the Wang Family, the lead sponsor of the Mist Chant Martial eting, brought the Ye Family into their sponsorship team. You should know full well how the Judicator Families deal with anyone who murders a sponsor, right?"
Ye Xiu did not answer. He hung up the phone, his face turning extrely grim.
The Wang Family is playing with fire!
He waved his hand, and a black rcedes sped over, stopping beside him. After getting in, Ye Xiu asked, "You know where Wang Chaoyang lives, right?"
The driver nodded. "I do."
"Take to him."
"Yes, sir!"

On a large bed inside a luxurious mansion, a mocking voice suddenly rang out as the bedroom door was pushed open from the outside. "You’re quite the ti managent master. It’s almost four in the morning, and you’re still at it."
