Ye Xuan’s expression instantly darkened. How could he allow a woman to run so rampant on his turf?
"Audacious!" Ye Xuan roared.
But the woman acted as if she hadn’t heard him. She slaughtered the gate-guarding disciples and barged right into the Ye Family Main Town. Her speed was so incredible that Ye Xuan shockingly couldn’t even keep up. By the time he caught up, she had already arrived at the Ye family’s estate.
"Is this the Ye family? It’s far too small! Such a lowly clan shouldn’t even exist." As she spoke, she killed the courtyard guards with a mere wave of her hand. Upon entering, she went on an absolute killing spree.
"You’re courting death!" Having caught up, Ye Xuan flushed red with fury. He tried to unleash his Dragon Soul Power, only to realize he couldn’t. There wasn’t a shred of strength in his body.
Ye Xuan’s pupils shrank. As if realizing something, he stepped up to an Outer Race disciple and reached out to grab him. There was no resistance whatsoever. His hand passed right through.
It was happening again. His body was an illusion. Furthermore, no one else could see him!
"All members of the Ye family, gather in the main courtyard!" a loud roar suddenly echoed throughout the entire compound.
The voice belonged to Ye Zeyun. He knew a master had suddenly invaded the Ye family, and everyone had to assemble in the main courtyard immediately.
With a single thought, Ye Xuan instantly appeared in the main courtyard.
By now, the Ye family had already deployed the Clan Protection Grand Array. A massive green snake coiled protectively over the courtyard, where Ye Zeyun, Ye Yizhou, and the others stood. Hua was among them as well.
"I don’t know who you are, but killing people in my Ye family means only death awaits you!" Ye Zeyun growled.
As he spoke, the green snake in the air swooped down, seemingly intent on swallowing the woman whole.
Facing the colossal green snake, the woman merely raised her fist. Her tiny fist was completely disproportionate to the giant serpent. Yet, the very next moment, a jaw-dropping scene unfolded.
BOOM!
A deafening explosion rang out. Cracks instantly appeared all over the green snake, spreading rapidly like a spider web. Then, the green serpent was reduced to ashes, dissipating into the void.
The Array was broken!
"What! Impossible!"
"Who is this woman? She actually shattered our Ye family’s Clan Protection Grand Array with a single punch!"
The entire Ye family was thrown into sheer terror.
The woman casually stepped into the main courtyard. Her gaze was haughty as she sneered, "Ants will always be ants."
"She’s too strong! Father, what do we do?"
"Yizhou, Yiwei, stay with me and hold her off with everything you have! Yihe, take the youths and flee immediately!" Ye Zeyun ordered.
"Father, do we really have to flee?"
"You must. This woman is far too strong."
"Grandpa, no, we won’t run! The Patriarch will definitely come back to save us," one of the younger members shouted.
"That’s right, Grandpa! We don’t know who this woman is, but we believe that as long as we’re in danger, the Patriarch will step in just in time," another added. "We believe in him; he’ll definitely come back. Besides, this woman is so powerful that even if we try to run, we’d never escape."
Ye Wen, Hua Xiaoyu, and the other juniors weren’t afraid at all. Instead, they stood united alongside their elders, ready to face the sudden invader head-on.
Off to the side, Ye Xuan clenched his fists, his eyes brimming with emotion. The Ye family didn’t even know what was happening, yet they trusted him implicitly, truly believing he would come to their rescue. The current Ye family was indeed incredibly united.
Ye Zeyun also burst into loud laughter. "Good, good! Then let’s face the enemy together. The sons and daughters of my Ye family are all outstanding!"
"You squirming ants actually aren’t running away, and you’re waiting for Ye Xuan to come back and save you? Hehehe. Putting aside whether that bastard can even return—even if he does, what use would it be? In my eyes, he’s just another piece of trash. Even if he were here, it wouldn’t change the fact that I’m going to slaughter his entire clan!"
The woman’s words took Ye Xuan by surprise. She actually knew about his status as an illegitimate child. He carefully scrutinized her attire and finally noticed a Taowu embroidered on her flowing dress.
She was from the Liu family of Chasing Moon City!
"Don’t insult the young master!"
Just as Ye Xuan recognized her affiliation, a furious shout rang out. A massive fairy phantom, standing a full hundred feet tall, suddenly materialized in the sky above. The fairy extended a hand and pointed a finger directly at the woman. In that instant, the surrounding air grew stiflingly thin.
The woman’s pupils contracted. "Such a powerful Martial Technique actually exists in a tiny town like this?" she said in surprise.
Upon speaking, she unleashed her Beast Soul Power. She casually threw a punch, instantly shattering the colossal fairy in the sky into absolute nothingness. Then, her gaze shifted to Hua, who was wearing her Peach Blossom Mask and had silently appeared right in front of her.
Hua was the one who had launched the attack.
Ye Xuan was completely stunned. How could Hua possess such a terrifying Martial Technique? He definitely hadn’t taught it to her, and the Profound Cloud Sect didn’t have anything like it either. Where on earth did she learn it?
Moreover, the aura Hua exuded wasn’t that of the Frenzy Spirit Realm at all. She was in the Super Spirit Realm! Had she really progressed this much in just a single month?
However, no matter how much Hua surprised him, it wouldn’t change the outcome. The invading woman was simply far too strong.
Immediately after shattering the Martial Technique, the woman teleported to Hua’s side. "Why the mask? Let me see what you look like."
With a light flick of her finger, Hua’s mask completely shattered into dust.
Upon getting a clear look at Hua’s face, the woman actually took a step back in sheer revulsion.
"You’ve dirtied my eyes! I can’t believe such a hideously ugly woman actually exists in this world. Die!" the woman shrieked furiously.
She ruthlessly swung her hand, delivering a telekinetic slap that instantly obliterated Hua’s head. Hua died a gruesome, horrifying death.
"A bunch of squirming ants. Killing you personally is just sullying my hands," the woman muttered. "So, I’ll just annihilate everything at once."
A Yellow Talisman materialized in her palm. The very moment she channeled her Spiritual Qi to activate it, the world itself changed colors. The previously clear sky was instantly choked with ominous dark clouds. Swirling thunderclouds rapidly gathered directly over the Ye family’s estate. In that dreadful moment, the Ye family finally experienced the true horror of a sky threatening to collapse upon them.
Gripping the Yellow Talisman, the woman’s flowing dress billowed without any wind. She looked like a peerless Demon King wielding the power to churn the heavens and the earth. Inside the dark clouds, bolts of lightning writhed like massive serpents.
Then, apocalyptic lightning rained down. Countless blinding bolts crashed from the heavens.
RUMBLE!
Deafening explosions echoed throughout the entire town, violently shaking the earth. The python-thick lightning strikes leveled the Ye family estate to flat ground in a matter of seconds. Standing amidst the scorched wasteland, the woman in her pink dress was chillingly eye-catching.
"Ants are meant to be reduced to ash." A wicked smile tugged at the corners of her lips. "Ye Xuan, you should be on your way to my house right now. When you find out that I’ve slaughtered your entire family, there’s no way you’d still want to marry me, right?"
With that, the woman turned and walked away. The Ye family estate had been reduced to smoldering ruins, and every single member of the family had been blasted into unrecognizable pieces.
***
Lingxuan Courtyard.
Ye Xuan abruptly snapped his eyes open. He was still in his room. He was still at the Gongsun family’s residence.
That meant everything he had just witnessed... was the future!
