In the next moment, amidst the rain-soaked night, a figure clad in a white robe appeared as silently and stealthily as a wraith. This man, appearing to be in his early forties, had a fair and moist complexion, with an air of imposing masculinity etched between his brows. He stood with his hands behind his back, and though the rain poured heavily around him, not a single drop could touch him. Beside him, a terrifying vortex of spiritual energy was subtly forming—a manifestation of the energy from the **Noble Mansion** realm.
At this moment, the middle-aged man looked ahead and saw a dark figure standing proudly in front of Ye Wushuang, exuding a formidable aura. “A puppet?” he murmured, his brows furrowing. “A puppet with the strength of the Noble Mansion realm.”
Ye Wushuang emerged from behind the dark puppet and stepped forward to face the man. “A member of the Qin clan?” he questioned. Had he not reacted swiftly and summoned the puppet, he would have been killed by the man’s sudden ambush.
Ignoring Ye Wushuang’s question, the man spoke directly, “Ye Wushuang, as a descendant of Ye Wentian and knowing about the Qingyun Academy assessment, I am aware of your situation. At this point, no one from the Ye family can survive.”
“I offer you a mercy death, but first… hand over whatever remains within your family,” the man said with a hint of confidence. “Do not think that a mere puppet of the Noble Mansion realm can stand against me!”
At this moment, Qin Yansong and Qin Fangbai, who were engaged in combat with He Bo, saw the middle-aged man and their faces lit up with joy. Fortunately, they had been cautious and had notified the Qin clan, summoning the closest Noble Mansion realm warrior from the clan to Liuyue City.
“Senior Elder Li Yuanye!” Qin Fangbai exclaimed in delight. “You’ve arrived, that’s wonderful! Please, kill Ye Wushuang at once. Young Master Qin Yuan was murdered by him!”
What!
Hearing this, a look of astonishment flickered across Li Yuanye’s face. “Qin Fangbai, Qin Yansong, you will both face death when you return,” he said coldly. The two men’s faces turned pale.
Senior Elder Li Yuanye was not a member of the Qin clan, but he was a highly esteemed guest elder within the clan, a Noble Mansion realm warrior whose status was far more prestigious than theirs.
Li Yuanye’s gaze shifted to Ye Wushuang, and he continued, “You seem to care deeply for your family. You wouldn’t want them to be tortured to death after you’re gone, would you?”
Hearing this, a glint of murderous intent gathered in Ye Wushuang’s eyes. “A Noble Mansion realm warrior making bold claims here!” he said coldly. “First, try to break my Noble Mansion realm puppet.”
Boom…
As soon as Ye Wushuang’s words fell, a vortex of spiritual energy coalesced around the puppet, which instantly rushed to Li Yuanye’s front and threw a punch.
Dong…
In that instant, a deafening dong resounded, causing everyone’s expressions to change. A Noble Mansion realm warrior was like a deity to them. Now, a battle between a Noble Mansion realm puppet and a Noble Mansion realm warrior was unfolding, creating a disturbance far more terrifying than the earlier fight between He Bo and Qin Fangbai and Qin Yansong.
Tonight, in their attempt to kill Ye Wushuang, no one could have anticipated that it would escalate to a battle between Noble Mansion realm warriors.
Boom…
The puppet charged at Li Yuanye, and the two figures leaped into the air, rising a hundred zhang high. The terrifying fluctuations from their battle even distorted the rain. The intense spiritual energy was truly soul-stirring.
At this moment, Ye Wushuang’s gaze swept through the crowd, but Yun Qingyue was nowhere to be seen. With Li Yuanye’s arrival, a corner of the formation had been breached…
Frowning slightly, Ye Wushuang raised his sword and looked at Wei Zheming and Su Yin, who were engaged in combat with Qing Zhonghao and Shi Wenxu, the two city lords. He needed to eliminate these two warriors at the third level of the Condensing Meridian stage first. Once Qing Zhonghao and Shi Wenxu were free, they could lead their respective families’ warriors to slaughter the fighters from the Qin, Yun, and Wei families.
Having made up his mind, Ye Wushuang’s figure flickered in an instant, disappearing from the crowd.
In the next moment.
When Ye Wushuang reappeared, the long sword in his hand, with its sword energy retracted, was already close to Lady Su Yin, who was fighting Shi Wenxu, and he struck out with a single, decisive slash.
