The Three Great Families Are Destroyed, Causing a Huge Uproar!!

Li Feng collapsed on the ground, begging Chu Yun.

As the head of the Li Family, he had to bear this responsibility.

He couldn't just stand by and watch the Li Family perish under his watch.

Chu Yun heard him, his expressionless face: "Patriarch Li, how can you still be as naive as a child at your age?"

"Feng'er, stop talking."

"The victor takes all. My Li Family has fallen tonight, but that doesn't mean you've won!"

"Chu Yun, Her Majesty the Empress will surely avenge us. Even if we die, we will wait for you in the afterlife!"

In contrast, the disheveled Nirvana Realm ancestor of the Li Family was much clearer-headed.

He knew that things had reached this point, and begging for mercy was useless. Since Chu Yun was vying for the position of Crown Prince, he would never let them go.

"Old man, you're the only one who sees clearly..."

"Since that's the case, I'll send you on your way first."

"Ye Tun," Chu Yun called out.

"Yes, Master."

Ye Tun chuckled, sticking out his tongue to lick his lips. Immediately, a shadow of an Evil Infant was released from within him. Like a sky-obscuring fiend, it opened its abyssal maw and swallowed the ancestor in one gulp!

[Ye Tun killed the Li Family Ancestor, gaining 7000 Editing Points.]

A peak Nirvana Realm expert. Although the hatred value wasn't maxed out, 7000 Editing Points was more than enough.

"Ancestor!!!!"

The members of the Li Family let out mournful roars upon seeing this.

Their ancestor was dead, and the Li Family's pillar of strength had completely collapsed!

The next moment, Chu Yun glanced at Luo Feng. The latter understood, and directly dragged three young men out of the crowd.

"Dad! Dad! Save me!"

"Save me! Dad!!"

These children were the young masters of the Li Family, all sons of the family head, Li Feng.

"No!"

"No!!! My children!!"

Li Feng watched helplessly as the three of them were thrown up by Luo Feng. Ye Tun's Evil Infant shadow opened its abyssal maw and swallowed them again.

[Ye Tun killed the three sons of the Li Family, gaining 400 Editing Points.]

[Li Feng's hatred value has reached 100%.]

This pig, Li Feng, had finally been fully raised.

"Alright, this farce should end now."

"Ye Tun..." Chu Yun slowly turned his back and then said, "Leave no one alive."

"Yes!!" Ye Tun replied joyfully.

Luo Feng and the Sky Demoness followed Chu Yun as they slowly walked out of the barrier.

"Chu Yun!! You will die a horrible death!!"

"I curse you even in death!! You will definitely go to hell!!"

"You will definitely..."

"Ah..."

Li Feng's voice abruptly stopped, replaced by the desperate roars and wails of thousands of Li Family members.

But it was only for a moment before the Evil Infant's giant maw swallowed them, and the entire Li Mansion turned into a dead city!

[Ye Tun killed Li Feng, gaining 6000 Editing Points.]

[Ye Tun killed the Grand Elder of the Li Family, gaining 4000 Editing Points.]

[Ye Tun killed the Li Family...]

With the annihilation of the Li Family, Chu Yun gained over 20,000 Editing Points.

However, after dealing with the Li Family, they did not return to the Prince's Mansion but headed towards the residences of other influential families...

The next day.

A shocking piece of news erupted, causing the entire Imperial City to explode!

Overnight, three of the top ten influential families within the Great Xia Imperial City.

The Li Family, the Xu Family, and the Yu Family – all members of these three great families had vanished without a trace overnight!

Apart from some merchants left behind in the trading houses and a few clan members who were traveling, everyone else, including all the high-ranking officials, had disappeared overnight, their whereabouts unknown!

Furthermore, these three great families were all loyal factions of the Empress!

Once this matter broke, the entire Imperial City was thrown into a complete frenzy.

Discussions erupted from all sides, with some saying the members of the three great families might have been killed.

Others suggested they might be in hiding, plotting a rebellion.

And some even claimed they might have fled the city overnight to defect to an enemy nation.

In short, there was no shortage of speculation.

Because this matter was of great importance, the Emperor, upon hearing the news, immediately dispatched the Shadow Guards to investigate thoroughly.

Within the Imperial Palace, at a pavilion in the rear garden.

"Did Old Ninth really do this?"

"How did that brat manage it? Could it have been the Asura's doing?"

The Great Xia Emperor appeared somewhat surprised, deeply astonished after hearing Meng Changzhong's report.

Meng Changzhong shook his head, "No, if the Ninth Prince wanted the disappearance of these three families to remain an unsolved mystery, then the Asura Venerable could not have been involved."

"After all, if the Asura Venerable were to leave the palace, the Empress would surely receive news," Meng Changzhong replied.

The Emperor's expression turned curious upon hearing this, "Old Ninth actually has such capability. It seems I truly don't need to worry anymore."

Suddenly, the Emperor received a message from a Shadow Guard.

He opened the spiritual message and his expression shifted slightly, "This is rather interesting..."

"What is it, Your Majesty?" Meng Changzhong immediately asked.

"See for yourself," the Emperor handed him the spiritual message.

The latter took it and his expression changed, "Thousand Leaf Pavilion, Hundred Snake Island... these are all forces that stand with the Empress."

"And they were all wiped out within a single day."

The Emperor nodded, "The most crucial point is that no trace of the perpetrator could be found. This means that whoever destroyed them was likely only a few individuals, or perhaps... just one person."

Meng Changzhong's spirit trembled, "A Venerable!"

The Emperor's gaze deepened, "Which Venerable do you think could have done this?"

"Such an action is clearly aimed at cutting off the Empress's wings, implying a deep-seated hatred."

Meng Changzhong pondered for a long time but couldn't think of anyone who would dare to eliminate those factions of the Empress's faction at this critical juncture.

Most importantly, it coincided perfectly with the Ninth Prince's actions – one eliminating forces within the Imperial City, the other eliminating forces in other prefectures. It was quite the coincidence.

"Enough."

"You may return now."

"I will send someone to investigate and see how the Empress's side plans to deal with these matters first."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Ninth Prince's Mansion.

Chu Yun slept until noon before waking up. As Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter helped him dress and opened the door, he let out several yawns in a row.

"Your Highness, what were you doing last night?"

"Why do you look so listless?" Little Spring ventured a joke upon seeing him.

Chu Yun pinched her nose, "Listless, you say? Want to come and find out?"

Little Spring's face immediately turned as red as an apple, "Your Highness~"

The other three girls also listened and burst into laughter.

At this moment, Luo Feng slowly walked over from not far away, "Your Highness, you're awake."

Chu Yun nodded and said to the four girls, "Alright, you can all go down."

"Yes, Your Highness."

After the four girls left, Chu Yun asked seriously, "Commander Luo, what's the situation?"
