In the capital, within the Qin Clan’s territory, Yun Xingjian and Qin Hongtian, dressed in coarse linen, were fishing by the pond.
“Ah, got one!” Yun Xingjian reeled in his catch with a chuckle. “Old Qin, looks like your luck isn’t very good today.”
Qin Hongtian, with a calm and composed demeanor, gazed at the lake and said slowly, “You knew this would happen, didn’t you?”
“The deaths of Qin Beixiu, Chu Anxun, Shang Lihen, Liu Qingzi, and Xiao Linxuan last time… they were all done by Ye Yunzhe, weren’t they?”
“You and Qing Muyuan have been working together to cover everything up. You really have been worrying a lot for the Ye Clan.”
Yun Xingjian simply cast his rod again but did not respond. If Qin Hongtian believed those people were killed by Ye Yunzhe, then so be it.
“Yun Xingjian, you should know that back then, it wasn’t our Five Great Families who wanted the Ye Clan to perish. We were merely running errands at most…” Qin Hongtian continued, “The real masterminds were the Tianji Mansion and the Shengdan Sect. Do you really think you and Qing Muyuan alone can stand against the Tianji Mansion and the Shengdan Sect?”
Upon hearing this, Yun Xingjian quickly replied, “Old Qin, don’t slander me. I’m just a small-time dean of Qingyun Academy. How could I possibly have the guts and ability to oppose the Tianji Mansion and the Shengdan Sect?”
Qin Hongtian glanced at Yun Xingjian and then fell silent.
In the capital, within the Liu Clan’s territory, Liu Zhengzong and Liu Zhengyuan, the two brothers, were completely stunned after sensing the powerful fluctuations in the air and receiving reports from their subordinates about what had happened.
Ye Yunzhe!
The third master of the Ye Clan, Ye Yunzhe, is not dead!
Inside the Liu Mansion, Liu Ao’nan’s face was also filled with astonishment as he muttered, “Ye Yunzhe is not dead… Has he been secretly helping Ye Wushuang all along?”
Liu Zhengzong hurriedly said, “Uncle, we need to inform the patriarch about this right away…”
Liu Ao’nan glanced at the back of the Liu Mansion and said, “The patriarch probably already knows. Since there are no new orders, we just have to wait!”
“But if we keep waiting like this, the Shang Clan is surely going to be destroyed!”
Upon hearing this, Liu Ao’nan’s brows furrowed. He was well aware of the situation, but who could stop it now?
Could the four great families not fight to the death?
Of course, they could!
But at the moment, no one had the determination to do so!
Who was willing to be the first to risk everything for the survival of the Shang Clan?
No one was willing!
In the capital, within the imperial palace, Chu Yunzhi and Xiao Zishi, two Myriad Laws realm powerhouses, were furious.
“Qing Muyuan, you knew all along, didn’t you? You knew Ye Yunzhe was still alive!”
Seeing the two of them in such a rage, Qing Muyuan couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Come on, guys, calm down. Why get so angry?”
“You…” Chu Yunzhi calmed down and snorted, “Even if Ye Yunzhe is still alive, the aura we sense here is far weaker than before. Shang Tianyin might not be his opponent.”
“Is that so?” Qing Muyuan replied with a chuckle, “Shang Tianyin is no ordinary fighter. He survived a great disaster, so he must have some good fortune. Perhaps this time, by killing Ye Yunzhe, the Shang Clan could leap to the top of the Five Great Families?”
Ignoring Qing Muyuan’s clearly sarcastic remark, Chu Yunzhi and Xiao Zishi chose not to respond. At the moment, all they could hope for was that Shang Tianyin’s strength would be greater than Ye Yunzhe’s current power. But would it be?
The rain grew heavier and heavier.
In front of the Shang Mansion, Ye Yunzhe, dressed in white, remained untouched by a single raindrop.
Shang Tianyin stood at the entrance of the Shang Mansion, eyeing the former third master of the Ye Clan with caution.
Ye Yunzhe spoke softly, “Over five hundred years ago, the Five Great Families followed the Tianji Mansion and the Shengdan Sect to annihilate my Ye Clan. Countless Ye Clan members and warriors were slaughtered!”
“Shang Tianyin, have you ever thought that over five hundred years later, you would still die at the hands of a Ye Clan member?”
