"Your Highness, everyone has been dealt with. Are we returning to the Imperial City now?" Luo Feng asked.
"Not yet."
"There is still one matter to settle before we return," Chu Yun said leisurely.
"Yun'er, what else do you intend to do?" the Asura Venerable asked.
Chu Yun smiled. "The Ye Family of Qingzhou."
"The sins Ye Wanrou committed cannot be atoned for by her alone."
When Ye Wanrou heard this, her face changed in terror. "Chu Yun! What I did has nothing to do with my clansmen!"
"You cannot drag them into this!"
"They are innocent!"
Ye Wanrou completely panicked.
If her actions implicated the Lineage...
Then even death would not let her rest in peace!
Chu Yun looked at her and gave a cold smile. "When you framed me, I was more innocent than anyone."
"Elder Yang, you should know the Ye Family's exact location, correct?"
Yang Muqian immediately answered with certainty, "Y-yes!"
"This old man is willing to lead the way for Your Highness!"
Chu Yun nodded. "Good. Then I'll trouble you."
"Commander Luo, have the Shadow Guards pay Zhu Tian Suo's Lineage a visit."
"Framing an Imperial Prince is a crime enough to wipe out ten generations of their kin."
Luo Feng nodded. "Rest assured, Your Highness. I'll make the arrangements immediately."
Chu Yun then looked at Yang Muqian. "Elder Yang, where is the nearest teleportation array to the Ye Family?"
Just as Yang Muqian was about to answer, the Asura Venerable interrupted them. "Why make things so troublesome?"
"It is merely the Ye Family. I will take you there."
A wisp of power from within the Asura Venerable directly tore open a vast stretch of space before them, and a spatial rift appeared once more.
Venerable Realm experts had already completely mastered the power of space. They could roam and travel freely through it.
Some were even far faster than teleportation arrays!
"Then I'll have to trouble Uncle," Chu Yun said with a smile.
"It is nothing."
"Once you have settled these trifles, come back with me to see your mother. She misses you more than anyone."
Chu Yun nodded solemnly. "I understand."
Immediately after, the Asura Venerable waved his hand. Everyone transformed into streaks of light and entered the spatial rift.
Qingzhou, Jubei City.
Jubei City was one of the five greatest cities in all Qingzhou. Its powers were tangled together like roots, and all manner of fish and dragons were mixed within.
For cultivators of low cultivation, it was not only lively, but dangerous as well.
Within Jubei City stood three extremely renowned great families.
The Ye Family that Ye Wanrou belonged to was one of them.
The family also had Nascent Soul Realm ancestors. In overall strength, it was only slightly lacking compared to the Nine Splendor Sect in terms of foundation.
At this moment, inside the Ye Family's main hall.
Ye Wanrou's father, Ye Family Head Ye Zhengxian, and her mother, Wang Yayun, were receiving an important distinguished guest.
"Family Head Ye, have you considered our young master's conditions?"
"You should know that for Ye Wanrou to catch our young master's eye is a blessing cultivated over three lifetimes."
"With our young master's status, even the Imperial Princes and Crown Prince of the Great Xia Dynasty must show him respect."
"If your daughter climbs this branch, what benefits it will bring to your Ye Family should not need me to spell out, should it?"
At this moment, the vicious-looking middle-aged guest spoke with a trace of disdain in his tone.
Had their young master not taken a fancy to Ye Wanrou's appearance, this so-called Ye Family Head would never have had the chance to sit before him and speak to him, not even in eight lifetimes.
"Yes, yes, I naturally understand everything Lord Lu Yue has said."
"But this concerns my daughter's lifelong future. Moreover, she would be a concubine. Lord Lu, you must at least give me some time to ask my daughter for her own opinion." Ye Zhengxian forced a smile again and again.
The man before him was a Shattering Realm cultivator. If they displeased him, he was fully capable of razing the Ye Family to the ground.
Thus, the husband and wife were exceedingly cautious, not daring to offend him in the slightest.
"What is wrong with being a concubine?"
"Ye Zhengxian, do not lead your Ye Family onto the path of self-destruction!"
"Do not forget what status your daughter has, and what status my young master has!"
"Since you want time, fine. I will give you time."
"One day!"
"Give me your answer within one day."
"If you drag this out any longer and displease the young master, then your Ye Family... heh heh."
Lu Yue was openly threatening them.
He was giving them one day, but if the Ye Family refused...
The outcome was obvious.
Worry filled the depths of Ye Zhengxian's eyes. Just as he was about to say something...
BOOM!!!
"Ye Family Head, get the hell out here!!"
Suddenly, every building in the Ye Family shook violently as though an earthquake had struck. The entire main hall suffered a fierce impact and teetered on the verge of collapse!
"What audacity!"
"I would like to see who dares come to my Ye Family in broad daylight to cause trouble!"
Ye Zhengxian had already been troubled with worry, and now rage covered his face. He took Wang Yayun and flew straight out.
"What happened to the Ye Family? Who did they offend?!"
"No idea. These people look unfamiliar. They probably aren't cultivators from Jubei City."
"Who cares? We'll know if we watch."
The streets outside the Ye Family were packed with spectators.
Even people stood atop distant tall buildings, their gazes all converging on the scene.
At this moment, above the Ye Family, Yang Muqian stood before Chu Yun, staring coldly at the Ye Family's residences.
Beside Chu Yun stood the Asura Venerable and a group of Shadow Guards. Ye Wanrou was restrained by one of the Shadow Guards, unable to move as she stood in the sky.
Ye Zhengxian and Wang Yayun led a group of Ye Family higher-ups flying out. Apart from Ye Zhengxian, who was at the late Nascent Soul Realm, every one of them was a Golden Core Realm cultivator.
"You have some nerve!"
"You dare... Wan... Wanrou?!!"
Ye Zhengxian had just begun to shout in questioning when he suddenly spotted his own daughter among the crowd.
Even someone as furious as him had his expression turn grim at once.
"Wanrou!"
"Who are you? Why have you captured my daughter?!" The moment Wang Yayun saw her daughter being held captive, she became frantic with anxiety.
"Yang Muqian of the Wangxian Dao Sect!" Yang Muqian announced his name.
The moment those words were spoken, both the Ye Family and the surrounding spectators exploded into uproar!
"The Seventh Elder of the Wangxian Dao Sect!"
"Has the Ye Family lived long enough? They actually provoked the Wangxian Dao Sect!"
"Qingzhou's foremost power has come in person. It seems the Ye Family has truly fallen into a desperate situation today."
Ye Zhengxian simply could not understand why his daughter had provoked the Wangxian Dao Sect.
She had even caused the Wangxian Dao Sect's Seventh Elder to descend in person!
"Elder Yang, may I ask what exactly Wanrou has done?"
"For Elder Yang to come personally."
At this moment, Ye Kaishan, the Ye Family's peak Nascent Soul Realm ancestor, appeared in the skies above the Ye Family estate.
With an elder of the Wangxian Dao Sect arriving, the matter had already become grave beyond measure.
As the Ye Family's ancestor, how could he possibly remain seated?
