Xu Tianran's death, the Hongchen Family's greatness?

"You!"

Xu Tianzhen trembled with rage. The last trace of familial affection in her eyes vanished, leaving only hatred. "Imperial Brother, this is the last time I'll ever call you that!"

"From this day forward, I, Xu Tianzhen, have nothing to do with you!"

"Whether you live or die is none of my concern!"

After saying this, Xu Tianzhen leaned against the maid beside her, her eyes brimming with tears, utterly heartbroken.

She had no idea what she should do from now on.

Her father was gone, her brother had changed, and everything had disappeared. Only she remained.

"Any last words?"

Xue Nianbing stepped forward, his expression cold. "If not, it's time for you to go."

"Xue Nianbing, even as a ghost, I—"

Slash!

Before Xu Tianran could finish, the Ice Snow Palace member behind him brought his blade down and severed his head.

Slash, slash...

Then the ministers' heads rolled to the ground as well. Their headless bodies collapsed into pools of blood, their lives extinguished in an instant.

The Sun Moon Royal Family had been all but wiped out.

Kong Deming was still alive, but he could only watch helplessly.

"Elder Kong."

Suddenly, a voice rang out.

Hearing that familiar voice, Kong Deming immediately looked over. A familiar face came into view, filling him with fury.

"Jing Hongchen!!!"

Kong Deming's voice was icy. "I placed such high hopes in you, yet you openly defected from the Sun Moon Empire and joined the Ice Snow Palace. Your Hongchen Family deserves execution for its crimes!"

At the sight of Jing Hongchen and the members of the Hongchen Family, the people of the Sun Moon Empire wore strange expressions, their gazes growing even more contemptuous.

A traitor. Pah!

Facing the stares around him, Jing Hongchen remained calm and shook his head.
