Shang Muchen scrutinized Ye Wushuang intently, as if trying to discern the shadow of the legendary Ye Wentian from the Ye Clan in this mere sixteen-year-old youth. Why? Why, despite the Ye Clan’s decline, could they now suddenly strike right at the doorstep of his Shang Clan? For centuries, the Shang Clan had been regarded as the weakest of the Five Great Clans. And now, even Ye Wushuang dared to trample on the Shang Clan’s dignity?
Shang Muchen’s voice was cold and indifferent as he asked, “Ye Wushuang, are you not afraid of death?”
“I am,” Ye Wushuang replied calmly, looking straight at Shang Muchen. “It is precisely because I am afraid of death that I have come here.”
Shang Muchen was taken aback.
“When the Five Great Clans united to assassinate me, I survived,” Ye Wushuang continued. “In the Qingyun Academy, your Shang Clan deployed dozens of Tiangang realm cultivators and hundreds of Yuanfu realm warriors, sparing no effort to kill me, yet I still survived. So, I am afraid.”
Shang Muchen furrowed his brows.
“It is because I am afraid that I have changed my approach. Originally, I planned to kill the genius cultivators at the Ningmai realm, then those at the Yuanfu realm, and once I had killed enough, I would move on to the Tiangang realm. But you couldn’t wait!”
“The Shang Clan couldn’t wait. Since that’s the case, then you shall be the first to face my wrath!”
Shang Muchen let out a cold snort.
Ye Wushuang went on, “At this point, none of the other four clans have arrived. You should know by now that they can’t come, right?”
Upon hearing this, Shang Muchen laughed.
“Do you really think that with the Dark Soul Hall, you can destroy my Shang Clan?”
“I don’t know,” Ye Wushuang replied. “But after losing over a hundred Yuanfu realm cultivators and three to four dozen Tiangang realm warriors, how many more Tiangang and Yuanfu realm warriors can your Shang Clan muster?”
“Do you want to find out? As you wish!”
With a grand gesture from Shang Muchen, figures emerged above the walls of the Shang Mansion, their eyes menacingly fixed on the warriors of the Dark Soul Hall. There were over a hundred Tiangang realm cultivators and thousands of Yuanfu realm warriors, their combined aura utterly terrifying. This was the true strength of the Five Great Clans. Even after losing more than thirty Tiangang realm cultivators and over a hundred Yuanfu realm warriors, the Shang Clan still had such a formidable force.
Especially the Tiangang realm cultivators. The Shang Clan usually displayed no more than fifty Tiangang realm warriors, but in reality, they had many more who rarely showed themselves. These were the hidden aces of the great clans, the true upper echelons of power.
Now, with the survival of the clan at stake, the Shang Clan had no more secrets to keep. Over a hundred Tiangang realm cultivators stood ready for battle. In the past, such a sight would have been unimaginable to the warriors of the Imperial Capital.
Shang Muchen continued, “The strongest force of the Dark Soul Hall is the Dark Soul Guards, with over a hundred Tiangang realm warriors. Let’s see who is more formidable, the Dark Soul Guards or our Shang Clan warriors!”
With another wave of his hand, the figures charged forward. If the Dark Soul Hall broke through the formation, the Shang Mansion would become the battlefield. With so many Tiangang and Yuanfu realm cultivators fighting, the entire mansion would be reduced to rubble. There were many elderly, women, and children within the residence.
Thus, Shang Muchen decided to counterattack. The battle would take place outside the mansion, on the wide streets surrounding it, where they would decide their fates.
At that moment, numerous Tiangang realm powerhouses, leading Yuanfu realm experts, charged towards the warriors of the Dark Soul Hall. In reality, the Shang Clan still had the upper hand over the Dark Soul Hall. However, after losing three to four dozen Tiangang realm cultivators and over a hundred Yuanfu realm warriors in the Qingyun Academy earlier, the two sides now seemed evenly matched.
At this moment, Yuan Pengwang, Xu Yuntian, and Tian Chengwen were also eager to join the fray. Their master’s battle had concluded. Now, it was their turn to fight. Ever since Ye Wushuang had helped them recover from their injuries, they had been holding their breath, waiting for this moment to unleash their full might. And today was the perfect time!
