Ye Jiangshan, Get Out!

His face, his body, even his hair strands and shoes and socks—all were drenched in blood.

At this moment, Ye Qiu looked utterly terrifying, especially his eyes, stained crimson by the blood.

A commotion stirred outside the city gates.

Ye Qiu, however, remained expressionless as he pulled off Ye Yi's Storage Ring... Not bad, this guy was loaded.

A full sixty thousand-plus Spirit Crystals.

Adding in the hundred thousand from his maternal grandfather and the three hundred thousand he'd taken back from Ye Jiangshan, Ye Qiu was now a millionaire.

Beyond that, the ring held some odds and ends, along with a few bottles of pills.

Ye Qiu took out a bottle of Healing Pills, tipped it straight into his mouth, and crunched them apart with a crackle.

Sure, his self-healing ability was terrifying.

But when free pills were on offer, who'd bother gritting their teeth for nothing?

Besides, he was really badly hurt—blood still seeped from his body, especially the piercing wound across his chest.

With pills, recovery would be faster.

Feeling the pain ease a little, Ye Qiu stepped forward, and another stir rose outside the city gates.

Then the crowd parted.

Ye Qiu walked up to the blood-soaked head.

On the head, the eyes were wide open, carrying shock, unwillingness, and thick terror.

Ye Qiu didn't linger. He grabbed the head with one hand and strode boldly into the city gates.

As he left, the commotion outside the gates grew louder, and even the streets inside the gates fell into chaos.

"That's... Ye Yi, of the Ye Clan!"

"He... he killed Ye Yi?"

"And he's carrying the head into the city... No, the direction he's heading seems to be the Ye Clan!"

"What's this guy planning..."

The Ye Clan, one of the three top Noble Families in the Southern State, called the Royal Family, with deep foundations and a massive presence.

In this Southern State, who dared to mess with them?

The crowd was utterly shocked and curious, then surged like a flood, following Ye Qiu en masse.

Ye Qiu paid them no mind, keeping a steady pace.

Soon, he arrived outside the Ye Clan.

The main gate had been renovated again, still grand and opulent, with golden characters gleaming on the plaque above.

Ye King's Mansion!

And at that moment, above the mansion, purple aura billowed, a massive sword shadow flashed brilliantly, and Sword Qi rolled.

The Ye Family's Heavenly King Body had broken through, the momentum still ongoing, and from the image alone, it was clearly no small feat.

Two guards stood on either side of the gate. When they saw Ye Qiu and the head in his hand, their expressions shifted drastically.

"Tell Ye Jiangshan to come out!" Ye Qiu's voice rang coldly.

The guards trembled, frozen in place.

Boom—

Ye Qiu threw a punch through the air, the terrifying fist light blasting the Ye Mansion's gate apart, shattering the Ye King's Mansion signboard once again!

"Ye Jiangshan, get the hell out here!" Ye Qiu's voice boomed like thunder, crashing into the Ye Clan.

The guards trembled, then snapped out of it, rushing frantically into the mansion.

In truth, even as they rushed in, many people had already poured out from inside the Ye Clan.

Their expressions were furious, their Killing Intent thick.

But the crowd—old men, disciples—all changed expressions when they saw Ye Qiu. Though angry, their Killing Intent dissipated.

He was, after all, the Clan Leader's son.

This was still the Ye Clan.

Would they dare kill him?

"You beast!" Amid their silence, several more old men walked out from the clan.

Among them was a familiar face—Ye Zhen!

He had once targeted Ye Qiu at the academy, and now his eyes burned with blood-red fury and murderous intent.

Ye Yi was his grandson!

"Get out of my way!" Ye Qiu shot him a cold glare, then looked back into the Ye Clan. "Ye Jiangshan, get the hell out here!"

Ye Zhen's fists cracked, his Killing Intent growing fiercer, but he didn't dare make a move!

Here, he dared not make a move!

Behind him, the crowd on the street grew larger and larger, all staring at Ye Qiu with looks of disbelief.

The next moment, a great commotion stirred within the Ye Clan, and then Ye Jiangshan led a group of people out in a grand procession.

When he saw Ye Qiu, especially the blood covering him from head to toe, Ye Jiangshan's brows furrowed sharply.

And when he saw the head in Ye Qiu's hand, his brows furrowed even deeper!

Ye Yi!

"You... actually dared to kill him?" Ye Jiangshan's face suddenly darkened, his authority radiating outward.

Gathering Law—even Half-step Gathering Law—was the foundation of a great clan!

Every single one was extremely important!

Especially someone as young as Ye Yi, who had reached Gathering Law; he was destined to be a pillar of the clan in the future!

Ye Qiu smiled. He had thought that Ye Jiangshan would at least ask him, "You're bleeding so much—are you going to die?"

Could he not see it?

At the very least, he should have asked, "Why did you kill Ye Yi?"

But instead, he said: "You dare to kill?"

Heh!

Ye Qiu's smile faded as he stared at Ye Jiangshan. The next moment, he tossed Ye Yi's head directly at the other's feet.

"Liu Xiu sent someone to ambush me. Do you know about this?" Ye Qiu looked at Ye Jiangshan.

The latter's expression shifted, his pupils contracting slightly.

Just then, Liu Xiu also hurried out. When she saw Ye Yi's head, her face turned ugly.

She cursed under her breath: "Useless!"

Then, she fixed her gaze on Ye Qiu: "Qiu'er, there must be some misunderstanding here, right?"

Ye Qiu smiled. Keep pretending!

Liu Xiu turned to Ye Jiangshan: "I only told Ye Yi to persuade Qiu'er to return to the clan and mend the rift between us."

Ye Jiangshan glanced at her but said nothing.

"Forget it." Ye Qiu waved his hand. He didn't want to explain much more; it was ultimately pointless.

Even if Ye Jiangshan knew, what could he do?
