Zhang Jingqi actually didn’t know the Mou Family was hunting Ye Xuan. Ten days ago, he happened to go to the Two-Star Main Town to pay tribute and saw Ye Xuan’s wanted poster. The poster clearly stated that anyone providing clues would be heavily rewarded. Coincidentally, Zhang Jingqi knew where the Mou Family’s Three-Star Town was. He bypassed the Two-Star Main Town entirely, personally heading to the Mou Family Town to find Mou Sanjie.
At the time, Mou Sanjie’s eyes nearly bulged out of his head listening to Zhang Jingqi’s tale. He never would have imagined that the person who killed members of the Mou Family came from a One-Star Town! This was just too weak, wasn’t it? The strongest person in a One-Star Town was only at the 6th or 7th Layer of the Super Spirit Realm.
Initially, Mou Sanjie didn’t believe it. But Zhang Jingqi described it in vivid detail and swore up and down on the lives of his entire Zhang Family. Mou Sanjie finally believed him, but he knew this kid was absolutely not simple; there had to be an expert backing him up. Therefore, he personally led the elites of the Four Great Halls to attack the Ye Family Town. Although he brought less than a hundred men, these hundred men could wipe out a One-Star Main Town as effortlessly as crushing ants.
At this moment, explosions continuously rang out on the streets. A densely packed array of Spiritual Energy Swords appeared in the sky ahead. This was the ultimate technique of the Four Great Halls: Illusory Sword of Three Thousand. Anyone from the subordinate factions who stood in their way was directly sliced into ribbons.
Zhang Jingqi’s eyes shone brightly as he watched. He couldn’t help but roar in his heart, "Too powerful! So this is a Demon Spirit Realm expert! Ye Xuan, you killed Zhang Wuzong of my Zhang Family. This score can finally be settled. Let’s see if you can survive this time!"
Zhang Jingqi finally saw the hope of revenge. Although he didn’t have the ability to deal with Ye Xuan, the Mou Family certainly did.
At first, there were still people on the streets trying to stop the Mou Family, but eventually, there were none. The people from the subordinate factions weren’t stupid. These invaders were so strong that even if they tried to stop them, they would be instantly killed. No one was going to throw their lives away. They merely surrounded the invaders from a distance, no longer daring to intervene.
Soon, the Mou Family arrived at the main gates of the Ye Family. Ye Zeyun had already led the Ye Family to wait in the courtyard. Beside him stood Gongsun Yanran, Gongsun Po, Gongsun Hao, and other young prodigies of the Gongsun Family.
Ye Zeyun knew the Ye Family’s strength wasn’t very high, but this time, he was completely fearless. Even if Ye Xuan was busy breaking through his Hidden Vein and couldn’t get away, why would they even need Ye Xuan to step in? The members of the Gongsun Family were staying right here in the Ye Family.
"Where is Ye Xuan? Come out and kneel to welcome the Town Mayor of the Three-Star Main Town!" Zhang Jingqi’s voice rang out. Right now, he really was acting like a bully backed by a big shot, throwing his weight around. It seemed that in his eyes, Ye Xuan was already a dead man.
"A Three-Star Main Town!" Ye Zeyun was startled. No wonder the people from the subordinate factions couldn’t stop them. The people beside Zhang Jingqi actually came from a Three-Star Main Town. He knew it was highly likely that when Ye Xuan went to the Mou Family, he had provoked them again.
Ye Xuan taking such actions didn’t surprise Ye Zeyun at all. In the past, he definitely would have been terrified, but now, what was there to fear?
He stepped forward and coldly shouted, "Zhang Jingqi, Ye Xuan should have warned you about the severe consequences of betraying the Ye Family again. Do you want your entire clan wiped out?"
Ye Zeyun’s voice echoed continuously, carrying an imposing and awe-inspiring weight.
"Even now, you still dare to threaten me," Zhang Jingqi said, his expression turning incredibly ugly. He had originally wanted to see the Ye Family kneel and beg for mercy. Who would have thought Ye Zeyun would still dare to speak so ruthlessly?
He took a few steps back, cupped his hands toward Mou Sanjie, and said aggrievedly, "Sir, the people of the Ye Family are too arrogant. They have absolutely no respect for you! Sir, just kill them all!"
Mou Sanjie said flatly, "Rest assured, anyone who offends my Mou Family will have their entire family wiped out." The moment his words landed, he fiercely pushed his right hand out.
RUMBLE.
The courtyard wall collapsed directly. The figures of the Ye Family members came into view.
"A bunch of ants... kill them," Mou Sanjie stated indifferently.
"Understood!"
The Hall Masters of the Four Great Halls immediately released their auras. This terrifying pressure made it difficult for everyone to breathe. The members of the Ye Family and the surrounding subordinate factions were forced to their knees. Those with weaker cultivation spat out mouthfuls of blood. The only ones still standing at the scene were the members of the Gongsun Family.
"So strong! As expected of people from a Three-Star Main Town! This is their full power."
"This time, the Ye Family will definitely be destroyed. Will the town fall back into the hands of the Zhang Family?"
The people from the subordinate factions were all shaking their heads and sighing. Against such formidable strength, how could the Ye Family defend themselves?
"Kill!"
The people of the Four Great Halls rushed into the courtyard, but just as they were about to begin their slaughter, Mou Sanjie acted as if he had seen something unbelievable. He suddenly waved his hand and roared, "Stop!"
The people of the Four Great Halls abruptly halted in their tracks, their frenzied auras instantly retracting. They turned to look at Mou Sanjie, not understanding why the Town Mayor had suddenly called for a halt. Upon looking, everyone was left dumbfounded.
Mou Sanjie, who had been sitting on the back of a Beast, had suddenly dropped to his knees.
"Town Mayor... what are you..." the Hall Master of the Cyan Heaven Hall couldn’t help but ask. He had no idea what kind of act the Town Mayor was putting on.
Off to the side, Zhang Jingqi’s heart was pounding wildly. What the hell was going on? The Town Mayor of a Three-Star Main Town had suddenly fallen to his knees. Who was he kneeling to? Could it be Ye Xuan? But Ye Xuan wasn’t even among the people present!
Just as he was filled with doubt, Mou Sanjie kowtowed.
THUD THUD THUD!
Three resounding kowtows shattered the floorboards.
All the onlookers were utterly flabbergasted. They wondered, "Kneeling and even kowtowing? What on earth is going on! What massive mistake did he commit to warrant this?"
Meanwhile, Zhang Jingqi thought, "Sir, please don’t scare me like this! I’m timid and easily spooked."
Amidst the shock and confusion, Mou Sanjie finally spoke. "My lords and ladies, I did not know you were here."
My lords and ladies?
The gazes of the Four Great Halls instantly shot toward Gongsun Yanran and the others who were still standing. These people hadn’t been suppressed by the aura just now, so their strength was indeed not weak. Could they have some significant background?
"Sir, what’s going on?" Zhang Jingqi finally couldn’t help but ask. He couldn’t shake the feeling that the situation was far from good.
It would have been better if he hadn’t spoken, but the moment he did, it instantly enraged Mou Sanjie.
BANG! A muffled explosion rang out.
Zhang Jingqi’s head burst open. This was the idiot who had brought him to the Ye Family to start a massacre!
Zhang Jingqi was dead. Even up to his last breath, he didn’t know why.
"You know me?" Gongsun Yanran spoke up at this moment.
Mou Sanjie said in a panic, "I don’t know you, but I recognize the clothes you are wearing. The Golden-Winged Roc. You are the esteemed members of the Gongsun Family."
A Three-Star Main Town had the qualifications to interact with a city. Even if Mou Sanjie didn’t know Gongsun Yanran personally, he recognized the totem on their chests.
Gongsun Yanran frowned, then suddenly glanced at Gongsun Po.
Gongsun Po understood her meaning. An Earth-Rank Low-Grade weapon materialized in his hand. It was a large saber. This was his father’s weapon; before his father died, he had left his Storage Ring to him.
In the next moment, without any warning, Gongsun Po attacked.
