A figure emerged, clutching the back of Shang Qingquan with a single grasp, pulling him back with sheer force.

“NO!!!”

Shang Qingquan roared in fury. He was so close—just one step, just a single breath away from slaying Ye Wushuang. But that hand lifted him up as effortlessly as an eagle snatching a chick.

“Killing him is not an option,” a indifferent voice echoed, shattering the air like a thunderclap. In an instant, Shang Qingquan’s body dissolved into a mist of blood, his life snuffed out violently.

At that moment, Ye Wushuang stood suspended in mid-air, her strength finally giving way. She began to fall, her descent gradually accelerating. But in the next moment, an arm gently caught her, breaking her fall. Safely on the ground, she leaned into the warmth of that arm and, with a pale and bitter smile, said, “If you had been any later, I would have truly met the King of Hell!”

“The King of Hell wouldn’t dare take you,” came the calm reply. Ye Yunzhe, dressed in a scholar’s robe that was slightly tattered, smiled faintly. “I was too slow this time. It won’t happen again.”

“Where is Shang Tianyin?”

“Right here!”

With a flick of his wrist, Ye Yunzhe revealed a thread of blood in the void. Ten paces away, Shang Tianyin stood, his robes in tatters, his body covered in wounds and blood, his hair disheveled and wild, a sight too pitiful to behold.

“Ye Yunzhe!”

Shang Tianyin growled, his voice filled with rage and desperation as he struggled futilely against his bonds.

“Still have the strength to shout, do you?”

Ye Yunzhe’s grip tightened, and the blood thread binding Shang Tianyin constricted violently, tearing into his flesh.

“The Ye Clan will never rise. Even if we can’t stop you, the Tianji Mansion and the Holy Pill Sect will never allow it!”

“Then that’s not your concern anymore!”

With a final squeeze from Ye Yunzhe’s hand, a terrifying pressure erupted. A thunderous boom rang out as Shang Tianyin’s body exploded into fragments. Immediately, a force of absorption emanated from within Ye Yunzhe, drawing in the remnants of Shang Tianyin’s body, which withered and turned to dry bones under its influence.

With a wave of his hand, Ye Yunzhe summoned He Bo and Xu Yuntian.

“Take good care of my brother!”

Ye Yunzhe looked at them earnestly. “Let this be a lesson. If this happens again, don’t expect mercy from me, even if he spares you.”

Ye Wushuang chuckled bitterly. “So now you think my brother is weaker than you and you’re starting to lecture my people? You’re not perfect either, you know.”

“Uh…”

“Alright, alright, you favor them more,” Ye Yunzhe conceded. “I’ll handle the rest of the cleanup.”

Ye Wushuang quickly added, “If anyone is willing to surrender, try to take them in. Don’t wipe them out completely. The Shang Clan’s businesses are important and need people to manage them!”

“Don’t worry, I understand,” Ye Yunzhe assured her.

Shang Tianyin!

Shang Muchen!

Two great masters of the Myriad Laws realm had perished. The remaining warriors of the Shang Clan, all of whom were at the Heavenly Gang level, were no match for Ye Yunzhe and his followers from the Dark Soul Hall. As they charged into the Shang residence, the battle turned decisively in their favor. The Shang mansion was doomed to be awash in blood.

As the fighting gradually subsided, the heavy rain that had been pouring also ceased. In the west, the evening glow shone brightly, with the sun about to set. Ye Wushuang sat in front of the Shang mansion’s gate, surveying the battlefield littered with bodies. Members of the Dark Soul Hall, at the Condensation Meridian level, had already begun the task of clearing the area. These corpses needed to be dealt with properly.

He Bo and Xu Yuntian stood on either side of Ye Wushuang, never straying far.

“It’s over…” Xu Yuntian sighed.

“An end is also a beginning,” Ye Wushuang said slowly. “Next, we’ll take over all of the Shang Clan’s businesses. Not a single member of the Shang family will be spared, even if they surrender. As for the guest retainers from other families, we’ll consider them on a case-by-case basis.”

“Regarding the Shang Clan’s businesses within the capital and throughout the empire, our people from the Dark Soul Hall will also take over. If we’re short on manpower, we’ll take our time…”

Xu Yuntian interrupted, “My lord, we already know this. You don’t need to worry.”

He Bo squatted down, unable to hide his concern. “When will the young master faint this time?”

Ye Wushuang looked exasperated. “He Bo, that’s not very considerate of you!”

“Uh…” He Bo hesitated before continuing, “You fainted last time, and this time… won’t you faint again?”
