Chapter 693: Bloodthirsty Slaughter
At the Situ Mansion, Ye Feng ultimately failed to see Situ Xuan.
Situ Xuan kept her door tightly shut—even Lüluo was turned away. She only sent a message from outside the door, insisting that their fates were already separated and urging Ye Feng to find someone else.
Hearing this, Ye Feng clenched his fists. He asked Lüluo to convey one last message before leaving with Luo Yan and the others.
“Miss, Miss, Ye Feng has gone,” Lüluo knocked on Situ Xuan’s door again.
“Did he say anything?” A voice came from inside after a long silence.
“He said he’ll wipe out the Shangguan family in this Virtual Realm today before coming personally to propose to Father,” Lüluo said with a hint of delight, clearly approving of Ye Feng’s actions.
“Did he really say that?” The door suddenly opened, and Situ Xuan frowned as she looked at Lüluo.
Lüluo nodded. She had been happy to open the door for the young lady, but seeing her furrowed brows, she realized she didn’t want to hear this news.
“How reckless of him! The Shangguan family has backers in both the Real Realm and the Supreme Realm. Not to mention his strength may not be enough. Even if he could wipe out the Shangguan family in this Virtual Realm, it would only draw even stronger retaliation,” Situ Xuan said anxiously. “No, I must stop him.”
“Miss, don’t be foolish. Though your cultivation is at the Half-Real Realm, it will take at least a month to reach the Shangguan family’s estate from here. But Ye Feng’s cultivation has surged—no one knows exactly to what extent. He said it would only take him a moment to arrive and wipe out the Shangguan family today,” Lüluo stopped Situ Xuan, who was about to leave.
“How is that possible? Reaching the Shangguan family’s estate in an instant? Is he talking nonsense? Didn’t Father hear this and say anything?” Situ Xuan was skeptical.
“He said it right in front of Father and me,” Lüluo nodded. “But Father said nothing, probably because he believed him.”
“I’ll go see Father and find out what’s really going on,” Situ Xuan shook off Lüluo’s hand and headed for the main hall, with Lüluo following closely behind.
……
Ye Feng and his group had already arrived above the Shangguan family’s estate.
“Shangguan Junyi, come out!” Ye Feng shouted from above, his voice instantly shaking the entire city, including the Shangguan family’s estate.
Ye Feng’s shout made almost everyone in the city look up at the sky. Though the city was vast and boundless, those farther away couldn’t even see Ye Feng’s figure, yet it still didn’t stop them from raising their heads toward the empty sky. Some curious and powerful individuals rushed toward the source of the sound. They knew that only someone with extraordinary cultivation would dare act in such a way above the Shangguan family’s residence, and they were sure there would be an interesting spectacle to watch.
Of course, this shout also alarmed everyone in the Shangguan family. All their skilled fighters rushed out and soared into the sky, glaring angrily at Ye Feng. “Who are you? Why have you come to disrupt our Shangguan family?” asked an old man with white hair and a hunched back, leaning on a walking stick and stepping forward. To his left, a young man in fine clothes supported him.
“My purpose is simple: I want Shangguan Junyi to cancel his engagement with Miss Situ and come out so I can speak to him in person,” Ye Feng said, showing no respect for the old man. Although the old man was also at the True Realm level and slightly stronger than Shangguan Junyi, he was still nothing to Ye Feng.
“Hmph! How dare an outsider interfere in the marriage pact between our Shangguan family and the Situ family? You young ones overstep your bounds!” The old man struck the void beneath his feet with his walking stick forcefully, causing it to crack apart. His actions were clearly meant as a threat.
“It doesn’t matter whether I’m an outsider or not. What matters is that you have two choices today. One: dissolve the engagement voluntarily. Two: the Shangguan family will disappear, and the engagement will naturally be voided,” Ye Feng said firmly, leaving no room for negotiation.
“You young brat are really too arrogant!” the old man snapped, then turned to the people behind him. “Seize these six fools! Once captured, I’ll torture them severely—making them suffer endlessly!”
Ye Feng crossed his arms and gave a glance to Yin Ling’er and the others, who were eager to act. With Ye Feng’s approval, the three of them rushed forward. The crowd that had rushed at them immediately let out continuous, agonized screams.
“Hehehehe…” Yin Ba and the others let out terrifying laughter that sent chills down everyone’s spine. “Fresh flesh… We haven’t had any in ages…”
The three of them belonged to the zombie lineage and had a natural craving for flesh. Since arriving in the Star Realm, they hadn’t had much chance to taste fresh meat. Now that they were back in the Void Realm, how could they miss such an opportunity?
In just a few breaths, their bodies were covered in blood—hands, lips, chin, clothes—all blood from others. They were like hungry tigers plunging into a flock of sheep, leaving behind only bloodshed and no survivors.
Seeing the prowess of these three, many of the Shangguan family’s strong warriors grew fearful. Even some who arrived early at the scene felt a chill down their spines. They could clearly see that all three were at the peak of the Half-True Realm, and their methods were utterly terrifying. None of the people they killed remained intact.
Ye Feng and the other two simply stood there with their arms crossed, taking no action, as Yin Ling’er and the others were more than enough to handle the situation.
“Who exactly are these three? Their strength is truly terrifying…” the old man couldn’t help but mutter.
“Grandpa, if this continues, it won’t take long before all of our Shangguan family’s elites are slaughtered,” said the young man who had been supporting the old man, worriedly.
The old man took out a black token from his pocket. “Take this token to the ancestral hall and hide it behind the tablet of our highest ancestor. A portal will appear then. Go in and bring back the Grand Elder and the clan leader, and tell them our family is in grave danger of being wiped out.”
“But, Grandpa… you…” The young man glanced at Yin Ling’er and the others, who were still killing, with concern.
“I’ll be fine. These three are only at the Half-True Realm, while I’m in the True Realm. Go quickly.” Though he said this, the old man was filled with helplessness. Although those three were not as strong as him, their abilities might still be comparable. But at this moment, he couldn’t say such things—otherwise, his grandson wouldn’t leave.
“Okay, Grandpa. Be careful.” The young man nodded and rushed off.
“Huh? Someone else trying to escape?” Yin Ba suddenly noticed the anomaly and chased after them. But before he could move, a shadow flashed before him—the hunched old man had already blocked his path.
“You’re up against me!” the old man waved at Yin Ba.
Yin Hong and Yin Ling’er were about to chase after the young man, but Yin Ba stopped them. “He’s mine. After I take care of this old fellow, I’ll go after him. You don’t need to worry.”
