Chapter 539: Who in the Holy City Does Not Know You

BOOM!

BOOM!

In the Holy City, countless powerful figures streaked across the sky, descending upon the Zong Family’s estate!

At this moment, the Zong Family had been reduced to ruins. The Ten Directions Pavilion was dust, and the vast Zong Mansion was split by a hideous ravine. The stench of blood filled the air, grating on everyone’s nerves.

"The Zong Family has been wiped out!"

Gazing at the scene, the eyes of every powerhouse narrowed, their minds reeling. A powerful Noble Family, an existence comparable to a Major Influence, had been wiped out in a single morning!

This was simply appalling!

They couldn’t believe it. Who could possibly have such power?

’Could it be the Holy Palace?’

Countless people wondered. They had sensed the aura of Holy Dao Soldiers earlier, which immediately made them think of the Holy Palace.

’No, this Holy Dao Slaughter’s aura is different from the Donghuang Bell’s!’

Besides, there were traces of an Array. This didn’t seem like the Holy Palace’s handiwork.

The powerhouses could still feel a terrifying aura of Holy Dao Slaughter mixed in with the lingering stench of blood in the air, sending a chill down their spines.

They found it unbelievable. Who else could possess Holy Dao Soldiers, let alone activate them?

The powerhouses were incredulous. Their Divine Senses swept over every inch of the Zong Family’s land, but then they discovered another problem: the bodies of the Zong Family’s experts were gone.

"How strange!"

In the crowd, a dark figure muttered and then began searching around. "I wonder if the Zong Family’s Treasure Vault has been emptied. There must have been a lot of treasures inside."

Some other powerhouses also began searching quickly. The Zong Family was a Noble Family with a deep foundation and countless treasures. Obtaining them would be a significant boost to their own strength.

However, they were all disappointed.

The Treasure Vault had also been reduced to ruins and vanished completely.

But at that moment, a shocking piece of news began to spread through the Holy City.

The annihilation of the Zong Family was the work of a mysterious youth named Ji Xuanyuan!

Someone had seen Ji Xuanyuan leading three Nirvana Powerhouses to attack the Zong Family, and soon after, the family was destroyed.

As soon as this news broke, it caused an uproar in the Holy City.

Some Nirvana Realm powerhouses were familiar with the name Ji Xuanyuan. He was the mysterious youth with the Holy Bone who had appeared at the Cloud-Viewing Tower and had a grudge against the Zong Family.

"Terrifying, absolutely terrifying!"

"He wiped out the deeply-rooted Zong Family with just three Nirvana Powerhouses. It’s simply unimaginable."

"I heard that Ji Xuanyuan is only in the Yin Yang Realm, yet he annihilated an entire family. That’s practically defying the heavens!"

"Yeah, I heard that not only does Ji Xuanyuan have a Holy Bone, but he even has Holy Dao Soldiers and can activate them! He’s an absolute Demon Fiend, possibly even the heir of some Overlord."

Countless rumors continued to spread through the Holy City. The name "Ji Xuanyuan" became like a nightmare, putting everyone on edge.

At the same time, the Jing Family, Mo Family, Dongfang Family, and other Noble Families quickly went on high alert.

A dangerous atmosphere permeated the Holy City.

A Noble Family had been wiped out, suggesting that even the Major Influences weren’t untouchable.

Meanwhile, Ye Wushuang stood with his hands behind his back before the railing of a tavern.

Behind him, the three Nirvana Powerhouses, including Elder Demon Bai, stood looking rather terrified. The purple-robed youth before them showed no fluctuations in his aura whatsoever.

And yet, he exerted an invisible pressure on the three of them.

Who could have imagined that the fall of the Zong Family was all due to one of his schemes!

’A Demon Fiend, a terrifying Demon Fiend!’

Elder Demon Bai and the other two felt a chill in their hearts. If anyone knew what they were thinking right now, their eyes would pop out in shock.

Ye Wushuang stood silently, having not spoken a word since returning from the Zong Family’s estate. His gaze was profound as he stared into the distance.

’Now, Master’s Dao injuries should be healed. The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Veins plundered from the Zong Family have filled the Spirit Core, so the War Fortress can be activated.’

’However, there’s still no news of Father.’

’Father was hunted by the Zong Family. According to Patriarch Zong, he must have been severely injured. I won’t be able to rest easy until I find him and confirm he’s safe!’

’Since he appeared in the Sinful City, that’s where I’ll go to find him next.’

’After I find him and complete the Great Emperor’s three requests, I will return to the Endless Wilderness and activate the War Fortress.’

Ye Wushuang silently calculated his next steps.

He didn’t know what might happen along the way, but he had to press on.

With a clear goal in mind, Ye Wushuang’s mood brightened.

Immediately, he turned to the three men behind him and asked, "The three of you know my true identity now. Do you still wish to follow me?"

"You jest, Young Master," Elder Demon Bai said with a wry smile. "Whether you are Ji Xuanyuan or Ye Wushuang, we made a promise. We will naturally follow you and serve you."

This youth had played the Zong Family to death; what chance did the three of them stand?

Hearing Elder Demon Bai’s response, Ye Wushuang nodded. "Following me is dangerous, but I won’t treat you unfairly."

"Thank you, Young Master! We will do everything in our power to help you," Xiang Zong’en added, cupping his fist.

Before, perhaps they had believed that as Nirvana Powerhouses, they were among the strongest existences, whom no one would dare to provoke.

But after following Ye Wushuang and killing the Zong Family’s Nirvana Powerhouses, they had been taught a harsh lesson!

It made them realize just how naive their thinking had been!

They could never forget how they had killed a Soul Transformation Third Layer expert. Before, such a feat would have been absolutely unimaginable.

’Perhaps following Ye Wushuang like this isn’t a bad thing after all,’ the three of them thought.

After all, Ye Wushuang was also participating in the marriage selection. With his demonic-fiend-level cunning, terrifying methods, and immense strength, it wasn’t impossible for him to succeed.

If they helped him, Ye Wushuang might actually become the heir to the Grand Emperor Country. When that happened, their contributions would be immense!

Thinking of this, the three of them solidified their resolve!

A smile appeared on Ye Wushuang’s face. He had naturally guessed their thoughts. ’If my methods haven’t won these three over yet, then that would only be my own failure.’

Following that, Ye Wushuang arranged for the three of them to go to King Xiangg City.

At the same time, he sent the Shadow Demon King to King Xiangg City with a portion of the resources Ye Wushuang had plundered from the Zong Family, to be delivered to Feng Jue.

Ye Wushuang only kept the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc with him.

’Next is the journey to the Profound North Realm. Life and death are uncertain, so I’d better increase my strength first.’

Ye Wushuang sat on his bed.

Although he had destroyed the Zong Family, Ye Wushuang had also come to recognize the terrifying power of Nirvana Realm experts!

The Divine Soul’s control over the Power of Heaven and Earth made him realize the gap in his own abilities!

Therefore, he didn’t plan on relying solely on life-saving tricks to survive, nor did he grow arrogant or complacent.

After all, his past losses had taught him that no matter how many trump cards you have, nothing is safer than your own absolute strength!

Moreover, he understood that if not for his various trump cards, plus Elder Demon Bai and the other two, he likely couldn’t have destroyed the Zong Family on his own.

An expert at the Soul Transformation Third Layer alone was already incredibly formidable.

Above that were Nirvana Powerhouses at the Divine Silence and Yun Dao Levels. Those would be even more terrifying existences!

Only with sufficient strength could he face them!

Thinking this, Ye Wushuang entered a state of Cultivation!
