Was the Xiao Clan Finished? Ge Ye, High Above Them All!

"An elder of the Misty Cloud Sect is here!"

"Go inform Xiao Zhan! Tell him to kneel at the Xiao Clan's gates and beg forgiveness!"

Learning that the Xiao Clan had already unified Wutan City only made Ge Ye angrier.

Still, anger was one thing.

Ge Ye remained utterly confident in Zhao Yuan's strength.

Could a mere Xiao Clan possibly stand against a Dou Wang expert?

So what if the Xiao Clan had hidden its strength and notified Wutan City?

Today, he would make Xiao Zhan kneel and beg for mercy, dragging his reputation through the dirt before all of Wutan City.

To exact merciless revenge on Xiao Zhan, Ge Ye openly announced his affiliation with the Misty Cloud Sect and strolled toward the Xiao Clan.

Hearing that the visitors were from the Misty Cloud Sect, the Xiao Clan members naturally dared not stop them.

After Ge Ye's ostentatious entrance into the city, news of the Misty Cloud Sect's arrival quickly spread.

"Hahaha! The Xiao Clan's reckoning has come!"

Within a small clan's residence, a man in luxurious robes heard the news and could not help throwing back his head in laughter, his face brimming with satisfaction.

His clan had originally been a subordinate clan of the Jia Lie Family, and even shared blood ties with them.

After the Xiao Clan destroyed the Jia Lie Family, he had been forced to submit to the Xiao Clan to survive.

Although he had submitted, resentment had never left his heart.

Now, hearing that people from the Misty Cloud Sect had descended upon the Misty Cloud Sect, he was wild with joy, convinced that the Xiao Clan's final day had come.

"Xiao Clan, so you've finally met your match!"

The man felt immensely satisfied. He gathered his clan members and rushed toward the Xiao Clan, eager to witness its destruction himself.

Scenes like this played out all over Xiao City.

Through bloody suppression, the Xiao Clan had swiftly brought all of Wutan City under its rule.

But that was only on the surface. Many still harbored resentment toward the Xiao Clan, yearning every waking moment for its downfall.

Now that the Misty Cloud Sect had finally arrived, they cheered incessantly, their hearts overflowing with delight.

The Mittel Auction House.

A manager rushed excitedly into the Meeting Room and exclaimed, "Miss Ya Fei, Master Gu Ni, wonderful news! People from the Misty Cloud Sect have arrived!"

"What?!"

At his words, Ya Fei and Master Gu Ni both froze before their faces lit up with wild delight.

Ya Fei slowly exhaled, as though a great weight had been lifted from her shoulders. "The Misty Cloud Sect didn't disappoint me after all..."

Master Gu Ni slapped the table excitedly. "Hahaha! Xiao Zhan, your final day has come! After today, there will be no Xiao Clan in Wutan City!"

A cold smile curled his lips as Master Gu Ni charged out of the Meeting Room and hurried toward the Xiao Clan.

He wanted to witness Xiao Zhan's miserable end with his own eyes!

Ya Fei, however, recalled her agreement with Xiao Zhan. A trace of regret flashed through her beautiful eyes as she sighed. "Xiao Clan Chief, one mustn't be too arrogant..."

In Ya Fei's eyes, the disaster facing the Xiao Clan today was entirely the result of Xiao Zhan's arrogance. He had actually dared to provoke the lofty Misty Cloud Sect. He was simply courting his own destruction!

"Since you haven't made things difficult for me lately, I'll see you off on your final journey."

Ya Fei left the Meeting Room, summoned a carriage, and headed toward the Xiao Clan as well.

Meanwhile, at the Xiao Clan.

"Clan Leader!"

"Something terrible has happened!"

Panic covered Xiao Shan's face as he rushed into Xiao Zhan's courtyard, shouting with a trace of fear in his voice.

"What is it?"

Xiao Zhan had been taking an afternoon nap. Hearing the commotion, he pushed open his door and stepped outside.

Xiao Shan could no longer spare a thought for formalities. Panting, he said, "Clan Leader, people from the Misty Cloud Sect are here! That Ge Ye from last time has brought an elder of the Misty Cloud Sect. They're heading toward our clan right now!"

Xiao Zhan raised an eyebrow. They came this quickly? The Misty Cloud Sect was quite efficient.

He looked at the panicked Xiao Shan and said calmly, "So they're here. What are you panicking for? Do they expect me to welcome them personally?"

Seeing Xiao Zhan's composure, Xiao Shan visibly faltered. Recalling the words Ge Ye had proclaimed, he said with a complicated look in his eyes, "Clan Leader, Ge Ye told you to kneel at the gates and welcome them..."

Xiao Zhan fell silent for several breaths before giving a cold smile. "Looks like that fellow came specifically to take revenge on me."

Looking at Xiao Zhan, Xiao Shan hesitated before speaking. "Clan Leader, why don't you just flee? Given the Misty Cloud Sect's standing, they probably wouldn't stoop to attacking the rest of us."

The strength and methods Xiao Zhan had displayed lately had all but completely won over the Xiao Clan.

Unifying Wutan City and renaming it Xiao City had brought tremendous glory to the Xiao Clan, strengthening every clan member's sense of belonging.

Xiao Shan was also one of Xiao Zhan's trusted confidants, so naturally, he did not want Xiao Zhan to die at the Misty Cloud Sect's hands.

If Xiao Zhan died, the newly risen Xiao Clan would become a host of dragons without a head, and other powers would surely swallow it up in no time.

That was something no member of the Xiao Clan could accept.

At Xiao Shan's words, a faint smile appeared on Xiao Zhan's lips. "Flee? Why would I flee? I've been waiting for them to come."

Xiao Zhan walked up to Xiao Shan and patted his shoulder, his expression confident. "Xiao Shan, today I'll show you my true strength!"

"A mere Misty Cloud Sect truly isn't worth my concern."

With that, Xiao Zhan walked straight out of the courtyard.

At the same time, with a flicker of thought, Xiao Zhan brought the family domain's power to bear upon himself.

In an instant, he sensed Ge Ye and another man at the Dou Wang realm. They were already nearing the Xiao Clan's gates.

Xiao Zhan was in no hurry to deal with the pair. Ge Ye wanted to spread the news and magnify its impact.

Xiao Zhan had exactly the same intention.

He wanted everyone to witness him defeating the visitors from the Misty Cloud Sect.

Xiao Zhan also knew that, although the Xiao Clan appeared to have taken control of Xiao City,

there were still many who outwardly obeyed while secretly defying them, never having sincerely submitted.

Now that the Misty Cloud Sect had arrived, quite a few people were probably gloating over his misfortune.

This time, he would reveal his formidable strength and thoroughly cow those who harbored ill intentions toward the Xiao Clan.

And Ya Fei!

Remembering his agreement with Ya Fei, Xiao Zhan's lips curved into a smile.

Ya Fei, after today's battle, I'll see whether you can still keep your composure!

Xiao Zhan strode forward, heading straight for the main gates beneath the worried gazes of the Xiao Clan members.

"Clan Leader!"

Watching Xiao Zhan's retreating figure, the Xiao Clan members could not help feeling grief well up in their hearts.

In their eyes, Xiao Zhan was certain to die this time!

Their hearts filled with unwillingness to accept it. The Xiao Clan had finally risen and unified Wutan City. Was all of it destined to be nothing more than a flower that bloomed for a single night?

Bang!

With an ear-splitting crash, the Xiao Clan's main gates were kicked open.

Ge Ye and Zhao Yuan appeared in the doorway, their expressions haughty.

"Xiao Zhan! Elder Zhao and I have come all the way from the Misty Cloud Sect in person! Get out here and pay your respects to us!"
