The Former Genius King Returns! With a Snap of His Fingers, He Destroys Wutan City's Two Great Families!

Wutan City.

Ye Changge and Xiao Yan, who could travel a thousand li in a day, arrived at Wutan City.

To be safe, Outer Sect Elder Ye Cheng had followed them as well, though Ye Changge had instructed him to remain hidden in the shadows.

"We're here, we're here! Teacher, Wutan City is right ahead."

Xiao Yan spoke happily. In all his life, he had never felt so excited.

After only a few days apart, he had been reborn, utterly transformed. His clan would definitely be shocked.

When the young man drew his bow again, he feared neither the passing years nor the wind!

"Come on, Teacher. Later, I'll take you to the best pleasure house around to listen to music."

Back when his cultivation had been going poorly, Xiao Yan had been proficient in everything from eating to drinking...

Cough, cough, cough!

Disciple, now you've got me excited!

Was this pleasure house a respectable one?

After entering the city, Xiao Yan found its atmosphere rather solemn.

Xiao Yan was far too famous. The moment he entered the city, someone recognized him.

"Look, isn't that the Xiao Family Third Young Master, Xiao Yan?"

"Huh? Why did he suddenly come back? The Jia Lie Family and Aoba Family are locked in a life-and-death struggle with the Xiao Family."

"Did he come back now to live and die with his family?"

"Who would've thought? Though Xiao Yan is a bit of a waste, he still has some backbone."

"I heard his fiancée joined the Misty Cloud Sect. Is that true?"

"It's true. I have reliable information. Cloud Mist Sacred Mountain was incredibly lively that day!"

Xiao Yan and Ye Changge soon arrived before the Xiao Family gates.

When the sword-bearing guards at the entrance saw Xiao Yan had returned, they hurried inside to report it.

"Third Young Master?"

"The Third Young Master has returned!"

Xiao Yan frowned as he looked at the guards stationed outside, who numbered several times more than before and were all on high alert. Something was wrong. Had something happened to the Xiao Family during the days he was away?

Xiao Yan immediately entered the family compound and headed straight for the Xiao Family Hall.

"Yan'er?"

"Wonderful! Yan'er, you've finally returned!"

The moment Xiao Yan entered the Xiao Family Hall, he discovered that all the elders were present, seemingly discussing something.

"Yan'er, you're all right. That's wonderful!"

When Xiao Zhan saw Xiao Yan return safely, he visibly relaxed.

The elders in the hall also gathered around to ask after his well-being.

Before the greater good of the family, all the clansmen's hearts were still united as one!

"Father, what happened?"

Xiao Yan voiced his doubts. Judging by the situation, something major must have occurred.

"That damned Jia Lie Family joined forces with the Aoba Family and suddenly attacked us, catching us completely off guard. The family suffered considerable losses."

Xiao Zhan spoke furiously.

"They claimed that you killed the Jia Lie Family's Young Master and demanded that we hand you over."

"Since we hadn't heard from you for several days, we feared you had been captured by the Jia Lie Family and met with misfortune."

"Fortunately, Yan'er, you returned safely."

Ye Changge also entered the hall. Having heard their conversation, he thought of the clown he had casually slapped into a mist of blood.

"Father, it was all my fault. I was the one who killed Jia Lie Ao."

"It's not your fault, Yan'er. I've long disliked that Jia Lie Family as well. A battle between us was bound to happen sooner or later."

"That's right, that's right. The Jia Lie Family opposes our Xiao Family at every turn. We'll destroy them sooner or later."

"The Third Young Master did well to kill him!"

The elders echoed their agreement from the side.

Xiao Zhan and the elders noticed another person entering through the doorway.

A young man dressed in white, with sword-like brows and starry eyes.

"Yan'er, this is?"

"Oh, right. Let me introduce him to everyone. This is my teacher, and also the Hall Master of Ye Emperor Hall."

"Ye Emperor Hall? Why does that sound so familiar? Yet I can't remember it."

The forces whose experts had been slain by Ye Emperor Hall had all suppressed the news, so word of what happened at the Misty Cloud Sect had not yet spread.

"Yan'er, you joined a sect!"

Xiao Zhan exclaimed in delight. After a full ten years, a sect had finally been willing to accept him!

"Yes, Father."

"And with Teacher's help, I resolved the problem that had troubled me for five years. I also broke through in my Dou Qi cultivation. Please take a look."

With that, Xiao Yan released his aura.

"A one-star Dou Master!"

Xiao Yan's display instantly stunned the Xiao Family Members.

In just a few days, he had broken through two major realms in a row!

It seemed that the genius youth who had once fallen had now returned as a king!

Their Xiao Family was about to rise!

Quite a few elders even burst into tears.

"Good! Good!! Good!!!"

Xiao Zhan was so excited that he could barely speak.

"So you are Yan'er's teacher."

"Please, have a seat. Someone, bring tea—bring the finest tea!"

Recovering his senses, Xiao Zhan hurriedly welcomed him.

"Patriarch Xiao, there is no need to be so polite."

"Xiao Yan is a disciple of my Ye Emperor Hall and also my personal disciple. We are family."

"By the way, that Jia Lie Family, right? When I killed Jia Lie Ao, I said that the Jia Lie Family need not continue to exist."

"I let them hop around for two extra days. It is time to fulfill that promise."

Ye Changge's words directly stunned the Xiao Family Members.

The mighty Jia Lie Family—this young man had decided their date of death with a single casual sentence?

What kind of force was Ye Emperor Hall?

Could it be some hidden sect?

"Hall Master Ye, the Jia Lie Family and Aoba Family have a total of six Da Dou Shi. We should consider this matter carefully."

Their Xiao Family only had four Da Dou Shi. The three great families had always jointly controlled Wutan City, keeping one another in check. No one knew what the Jia Lie Family had promised the Aoba Family for the two families to join forces.

"Yes, Hall Master Ye. The Jia Lie Family is extremely cunning. We have suffered at their hands before."

"Father, there is no need to worry. Ye Emperor Hall has experts as numerous as clouds. A mere Jia Lie Family is nothing to fear."

Having seen the wider world, Xiao Yan was much calmer.

"My disciple is right. A mere Jia Lie Family can be wiped out with a snap of my fingers."

"If that is so, then as the head of the Xiao Family, I declare that everyone in the Xiao Family is willing to accept Hall Master Ye's command."

"We are willing to accept Hall Master Ye's command!"

Seeing how confident Ye Changge was, Xiao Zhan immediately rose to his feet.

Xiao Zhan gave the order first, and the elders followed in agreement.

"There is no need for any of you to act."

"Ye Cheng, make a trip to the Jia Lie Family."

Ye Changge casually snapped his fingers, then issued his order toward the air above.

"Yes, Hall Master!"

A middle-aged man's voice came from above, without leaking even the slightest trace of aura.

Xiao Zhan stared in shock at Ye Changge, who sat below sipping tea leisurely, his eyes now filled with awe!

"Just what kind of great expert is Yan'er's teacher?"

Xiao Zhan himself was a five-star Da Dou Shi, yet he had not sensed anyone hidden in the dark at all. That meant the man's cultivation far surpassed his own!

Could he be... a Dou Ling expert!

And such a powerful cultivator still had to obey the other man's commands. That showed just how terrifying he was!

Meanwhile, at the Jia Lie Family.

The Jia Lie Family Hall was likewise packed with people.

"Jia Lie Patriarch, we agreed that once the Xiao Family is destroyed, all of the Xiao Family's resources will belong to our Aoba Family."

"Yes. As long as we can destroy the Xiao Family, everything will belong to you."

"That damned Xiao Yan dared to kill my son. I wish I could eat his flesh and sleep on his skin!"

Jia Lie Ao was his only son, and Jia Lie Ao's talent was outstanding among his peers. He had even once boasted personally:

My son, Jia Lie Ao, has the potential to become a Dou Ling!

"Aoba Patriarch, our last attack dealt the Xiao Family a devastating blow. As long as our two families strike with all our strength this time, the Xiao Family will surely be destroyed!"

Inside the Jia Lie Family Hall, the Jia Lie Patriarch and Aoba Patriarch were discussing the specific details of destroying the Xiao Family, unaware that their deaths were imminent.

"Everyone in the Jia Lie Family, get out and accept your deaths!"

A resounding voice rang out above the Jia Lie Family.

"Who is it? Who dares be so arrogant!"

"What fool with a death wish dares cause trouble in our Jia Lie Family!"

The Jia Lie Family disciples immediately flew into a rage. They had always bullied others—how could anyone dare bully them?

"Which nameless nobody is seeking death!"

Already burning with rage, the Jia Lie Patriarch became furious when he saw someone daring to cause trouble at the Jia Lie Family.

Seeing that they not only refused to surrender but even dared to strike back, Ye Cheng immediately attacked.

The terrifying cultivation of a Dou Ancestor Peak stirred the heavens and earth, changing the color of the wind and clouds.

Some of the Jia Lie Family members with lower cultivation were instantly crushed to death by that powerful aura.

The Aoba Patriarch and the elders were no better off, pinned in place by the aura and unable to move!

"Jia Lie Patriarch, when did you offend such an expert?"

"If you want to die, don't drag our Aoba Family down with you!"

"Your Excellency, I do not recall ever offending you. Why are you attacking my Jia Lie Family?"

The pale-faced Jia Lie Patriarch stammered.

"You offended someone you cannot afford to provoke."

Ye Cheng replied coldly. It would not hurt to let them die knowing why.

"Wait, Senior!"

"It was this damned Jia Lie Family that offended you. We are from the Aoba Family. Could you spare us?"

"I am willing to offer all of my family's assets to you, Senior."

"Oh? The Aoba Family?"

"That saves me another trip."

As his words fell—

A terrifying giant hand descended from the heavens, crushing the Jia Lie Family residence directly into flat ground.

At the same time, news that the Jia Lie Family and Aoba Family had been exterminated, their entire clans wiped out, spread throughout the city before long!
