　　Boom…
　　The earth-shaking roar echoed endlessly.
　　Amidst the vast valley, all stones were shattered into dust, forcing numerous figures at the False Self Realm and Star-Plucking Realm to retreat.
　　Boom… rumble…
　　Endless roars reverberated ceaselessly.
　　This　sword　strike.
　　Shattered the earth and crushed all hopes in the hearts of the three great families’ members present.
　　After a long while.
　　The dust settled, and the thunderous noise faded.
　　The ground was scorched black.
　　On the charred earth, two figures leaning against the stone wall were now covered in wounds, their vigor utterly depleted.
　　Ye Wushuang gripped his sword and stepped toward the two.
　　Shi Tianlang and Shu Wuyan, their faces deathly pale and bodies blackened, watched Ye Wushuang approach with terror in their eyes.
　　Their combined efforts not only failed to suppress Ye Wushuang but instead left them overpowered by him.
　　”I let them leave to deliver a message to your three great families’ higher-ups—stay out of Tianyuan Continent’s affairs. Clearly, they didn’t listen.”
　　”Ye Wushuang！”
　　Shi Tianlang spat blood as he spoke, coughing for a long moment before gasping, “Don’t act rashly! We’ll leave now—I swear the Shi family won’t meddle in the conflict between the Lingjian Pavilion and the Shengtian Sect anymore!”
　　Hearing this, Ye Wushuang pointed his sword, its tip resting against Shi Tianlang’s shoulder.
　　Shi Tianlang’s figure trembled instantly, not daring to utter another word.
　　”Do you think I look like a fool？”
　　Ye Wushuang said indifferently, “Right now, with the sword at your shoulder, what credibility does such a guarantee have？”
　　Shu Wuyan, standing nearby, also looked grim as he said, “I swear.”
　　”Not needed！”
　　Ye Wushuang said bluntly, “Now, I can tell you plainly—I”ve figured it out.”
　　”Even if I terrify you into submission, the elders behind you—those at the Star Picking Perfection, Great Perfection, or even the Saint Heaven Realm—won’t be afraid at all. Instead, they’ll only grow more resentful toward me！”
　　”Since they insist on meddling in the affairs of Tianyuan Continent, then starting today, I, Ye Wushuang, will also meddle in the affairs of Tianhuang Continent.”
　　These words left everyone present stunned.
　　Huang Yu’s eyes, however, revealed a hint of pleasant surprise.
　　”Aren’t they fond of aiding the Spirit Sword Pavilion in attacking the Saint Heaven Sect？ Then I’ll help the Huang family crush your Shi, Cao, and Shu families. That way, you’ll have no energy left to assist the Spirit Sword Pavilion. Depriving them of a major ally will make my Saint Heaven Sect safer.”
　　For a moment, Shi Tianlang and Shu Wuyan stood there, expressions frozen.
　　”Starting　right　now.”
　　Ye Wushuang looked at the two men before him and said indifferently, “First, I’ll chop off your heads to make the Cao, Shi, and Shu families pay a price and understand what pain means！”
　　”Don’t…”
　　”Stop…”
　　Before Shi Tianlang and Shu Wuyan could finish their words, Ye Wushuang swung his sword, sending two heads rolling to the ground, severed from their bodies.
　　Not far away, Cao Anmin, Shi Simiao, Shi Yutan, and the others were completely dumbfounded at the sight.
　　But what awaited them was only death.
　　Ye Wushuang had no intention of sparing anyone.
　　He gave them only one chance, and since they refused to cherish it, so be it.
　　In the valley, screams and wails rang out incessantly.
　　Ye Wushuang, alone with his sword, needed no assistance at all.
　　Even Shi Yutan, whose beauty and grace were exceptional, met her end as Ye Wushuang’s sword pierced her neck. The fragrant beauty perished, yet Ye Wushuang remained utterly indifferent.
　　A murderous aura filled the air.
　　Ye Wushuang stood still, exhaled, and then sheathed the Holy Heaven Sword.
　　”Elder Zhou, thank you for your hard work.”
　　Ye Wushuang looked at Zhou Yuan and said with a smile.
　　At this moment, he seemed like that gentle, smiling youth again, as warm as a breeze.
　　”No trouble at all, no trouble at all.”
　　Zhou Yuan withdrew the Tianyuan Sacred Cauldron and waved his hand with a chuckle.
　　Ye Wushuang then began to search the corpses of Shi Tianlang, Shu Wuyan, and others for spatial rings, storage bags, and other remains.
　　Seeing Ye Wushuang’s greedy demeanor at this moment, Pei Wenjie and Xuan Yutang were momentarily at a loss for words.
　　This guy is decisive enough in killing, but he’s also lightning-fast in looting.
　　That posture, as if he feared they might snatch it away.
　　After a thorough search, Ye Wushuang flicked his fingers and incinerated the corpses one by one with flames.
　　”Let’s leave this place first！”
　　Ye Wushuang spoke up： “Whatever you have to say, let’s talk outside.”
　　The　group　nodded.
　　Inside the Void Land.
　　At the foot of a mountain range.
　　Nighttime, with a campfire roaring.
　　Ye Wushuang, Huang Yu, Pei Wenjie, Pei Wenxiu, Xuan Yutang, and Zhou Yuan sat around the campfire.
　　The faint aroma of roasted meat wafted through the air, making Huang Yu, Zhou Yuan, and the others secretly swallow their saliva.
　　”I didn’t expect Young Master Ye to be such a skilled cook,” Huang Yu gnawed on a roasted hoof and laughed. “So delicious.”
　　Xuan Yutang then took out several jars of aged wine and said with a smile, “This is the exquisite wine of our Xuan Family. I usually can’t bear to drink it myself, but today’s gathering is special. Come on！”
　　The seal was opened, and bowls were taken out as the group clinked their cups together.
　　No matter what, if it weren’t for Ye Wushuang, Xuan Yutang, Pei Wenjie, and Pei Wenxiu, all three of them would have died.
　　After going through a life-and-death experience and witnessing Ye Wushuang’s formidable strength, Xuan Yutang and Pei Wenjie also set aside their pride and treated Ye Wushuang with considerable respect.
　　If the gap between you and your opponent isn’t too big, there’s bound to be some resentment.
　　But if the opponent is too strong, you won’t even feel the urge to compare yourself to them.
　　That’s exactly how Xuan Yutang and Pei Wenjie now treat Ye Wushuang.
　　Ye Wushuang is simply too strong—they’re no match for him at all.
　　They don’t even have the thought of comparing themselves to him anymore.
　　After several rounds of drinks.
　　Huang Yu patted Ye Wushuang on the shoulder and laughed heartily, “Brother Ye, if I ever succeed as the emperor of the Tianhuang Empire, I”ll definitely appoint you as the Imperial Preceptor!”
　　”Why appoint me as Imperial Preceptor？” Ye Wushuang replied casually.
　　”Hey, didn’t you say you’d help our imperial family deal with the three great families？”
　　Hearing this, Ye Wushuang chuckled, “You actually believed that？ I was just talking nonsense.”
　　”Th-this… you can”t just talk nonsense about something like that！”
　　Huang Yu’s expression turned serious as he declared, “A word spoken is a nail driven—you’ve got to keep your promises.”
　　On the other side, Pei Wenjie said in a bland tone, “The waters of the Heavenly Emperor Empire run deep. The three great families—the Cao, Shi, and Shu—are openly aiming to overthrow your imperial family. The Ji and Huo families appear to support the imperial family, but if the imperial family truly falters, those two families may not necessarily remain steadfastly loyal. Moreover, within your imperial family, many are willing to collaborate with the three great families to carve up the empire’s territories. Even your father, the emperor, simply endures adversity, taking each day as it comes. Those like you, who are resolute in upholding the empire’s dignity, are few and far between.”
　　Hearing this, Huang Yu immediately retorted, “So what？ If we don’t even try and just surrender, we don’t deserve to be descendants of Huang Chongtian！！！”
　　At the mention of Huang Chongtian’s name, Ye Wushuang silently downed the wine in his bowl.
　　”Is Huang Chongtian really dead？” Ye Wushuang asked, his voice tinged with melancholy.
