Midnight Strike, Destroying the Great Family!

"A Venerable Realm Evil Infant!!"

"Ninth Prince, you... you're Xiao Yan? ...And you can control an Evil Infant!!"

Yan Ding's tone was filled with unconcealed shock.

He, a peak Nirvana Realm expert, one of the Yan Family's strongest, felt nervous in front of Chu Yun.

"Elder Yan Song should know more about this than you."

"Patriarch Yan, I'm showing you this tonight to demonstrate my utmost sincerity."

"In fact, I can even give the Yan Family a promise."

"Once the struggle for the throne ends, the Yan Family will become the foremost noble family in the Imperial City!"

Chu Yun showcased his value and dangled a tempting prospect before them.

This prospect wasn't just appealing; with Chu Yun's capabilities, he could actually deliver.

Yan Ding's pupils contracted, and he turned to look at Yan Song.

The latter nodded, "Patriarch, it's as His Highness said. All of this is true."

"In my opinion, His Highness's talent far surpasses the Crown Prince's."

"Since the Yan Family must choose a side, I am more inclined to stand with His Highness."

Yan Song's crucial support swayed Yan Ding's decision.

Amidst his shock, he seriously considered the matter.

He had witnessed Chu Yun's value firsthand tonight.

Just the fact that he could control a Venerable Realm Evil Infant was enough to influence the entire situation.

After much deliberation, Yan Ding's expression hardened, and he made his decision: "Good!"

"Since Your Highness is so sincere, my Yan Family will not betray your trust!"

"From this day forward, my Yan Family will obey Your Highness's commands!"

With the Yan Family's allegiance secured, Chu Yun was in high spirits and smiled, "Excellent, Patriarch Yan Ding. I guarantee that you will rejoice tonight for making an incredibly correct decision!"

Half an hour later, under the dark and windy night, Yan Ding and the other left stealthily, their visit to the Prince's Mansion unnoticed.

The Yan Family's allegiance further expanded Chu Yun's network.

In the early hours of the morning.

Chu Yun sat on the fishing platform in the backyard, with Luo Feng standing quietly and steadily behind him. They seemed to be waiting for something.

[Ding!!]

[Venerable Wan Lei annihilated Hundred Snake Island, Host gained 3000 Editing Points.]

[Venerable Wan Lei annihilated Thousand Leaf Pavilion, Host gained 2800 Editing Points.]

[Venerable Wan Lei brutally killed Old Man Puxun, Host gained 1200 Editing Points.]

[Venerable Wan Lei brutally killed One-Eyed Old Ghost, Host gained 900 Editing Points.]

In Chu Yun's mind, the System's mechanical prompts sounded one after another.

Venerable Wan Lei had indeed lived up to his expectations, earning him over ten thousand Editing Points in just one day!

The efficiency was too high!

However, with him having eliminated so many forces, he believed the news would spread by tomorrow.

Furthermore, the deceased were all pillars of the Empress's faction.

If he were the Empress, he would certainly realize that a Venerable Realm expert was involved. If Venerable Wan Lei were to act again, his efficiency would likely be somewhat affected.

At the same time, Luo Feng received a message.

He immediately said, "Your Highness, the matter is handled. The patrol teams tonight have been diverted."

Chu Yun heard this, raised his eyes slightly, looked at the bright moon, and revealed a devilishly charming smile, "Then let's go."

"Yes!!"

The Imperial City, Li Family.

The Li Family was a renowned noble family in the Imperial City, with an ancestor at the peak Nirvana Realm.

The current Patriarch was also a mid-stage Nirvana Realm expert.

Although their foundation couldn't compare to the Yan Family, among the noble families in the Imperial City, they ranked within the top five!

Deep in the night, within the Ling Manor.

Ling Feng, the head of the Ling Family, was sleeping soundly in bed with his two wives.

Suddenly, Ling Feng's eyes snapped open, and he sat up instantly!

"Who!"

His pupils dilated. The room was brightly lit, and the two wives lying beside him had already turned into two cold corpses.

Chu Yun, with a faint smile on his face, sat on the table, one foot resting on a chair, and looked at him with a playful expression.

"Wives!"

"You're going to die!"

Seeing his women lifeless, Ling Feng's face contorted in shock. Rage instantly surged into his mind. His eyes swollen, he unleashed Nirvana Power with one hand and lunged at Chu Yun.

Chu Yun did not dodge or evade, his gaze calm and steady as he watched him.

"An ant dares to harm my master?"

"What do you take me for?"

Suddenly, a shadowy figure flashed from the doorway, and a young man appeared, standing in front of Chu Yun. With a casual flick of his hand, he unleashed the Evil Infant's Tendrils, filling the room with myriad evil energies, directly blasting Ling Feng away.

The Evil Infant's Tendrils then tightly wrapped around his entire body. Ling Feng's skin felt as if it were being pierced to the bone, and his soul's power was completely suppressed by the Evil Infant's power.

Bang!!

Ling Feng's body crashed heavily onto the ground. The intense pain made him tremble all over, his features contorted in agony. "Venerable... Venerable Realm..."

"Who... who exactly are you?"

"My Ling Family... belongs to the Empress... Aren't you afraid the Imperial Advisor and the Empress will seek revenge on you?!" Ling Feng said with all his might, pain evident in his voice.

This young man was, naturally, Ye Tun.

After refining those three Nirvana Realm Evil Infants, he had successfully broken through to the Venerable Realm. He truly had to thank Meng Ruoxue for that.

Hearing Ling Feng's words, Chu Yun's lips curved into a slight smile. "This prince is Chu Yun, the Ninth Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty."

"What?!"

"You... you're Chu Yun?!" Ling Feng's pupils widened, his face a mixture of shock, hatred, anger, and grief.

[Ling Feng's Anger Value has reached ninety-three percent.]

"Still not a hundred percent..."

Seeing this, Chu Yun immediately had another idea. "Bring him out. Let them have a family reunion."

"Yes, Master."

Ye Tun chuckled.

He then dragged Ling Feng, bound by the Evil Infant's Tendrils, and followed Chu Yun.

The grand courtyard of the Ling Family.

An evil energy barrier isolated all senses. No one could see or hear anything from outside.

Chu Yun and Ye Tun, bringing Ling Feng with them, walked into the barrier.

The next moment, Ling Feng's expression instantly shifted from anger to terror. "Grand Elder!"

"Ancestor! Even you..."

Seeing the scene before him, Ling Feng was utterly despairing.

Within the barrier, in the courtyard, over a thousand members of the Ling Family were suppressed in place by Ye Tun's power, including the Grand Elder, who was also in the Nirvana Realm, and the Ling Family's ancestor.

Luo Feng and the Sky Demoness stood on either side, their expressions cold as they gazed at the Ling Family members, their eyes devoid of any pity.

In the struggle for imperial power, the first to suffer were the subordinate forces of each faction.

Luo Feng understood this, and so did the people of the Ling Family.

They just never expected that the Ninth Prince Chu Yun would have such a powerful individual by his side!

It was completely beyond their imagination!

"Your Highness, can you give the Ling Family a chance?"

"If you spare my Ling Family today, we are willing to leave the Imperial City and never interfere in imperial matters again!"
