Chapter 56 Overthrowing the Yan Family

The two ignored Lin Lei's wails, and Tie Wuqing took Ye Fan to the Yan Family at the fastest speed.

Seeing Elder Tie's solemn expression, Ye Fan was also somewhat puzzled.

Is Su Ningxue really that terrifying?

"Elder Tie... Fairy... Cough cough... Revered Master, is she really going to slaughter everyone in the Yan Family?" Ye Fan asked doubtfully.

"This..."

It was rare for Elder Tie to show a helpless look; thinking about it all made his head ache.

"You haven't been her Disciple for long, so you might not know much about my Junior Sister. She is a legendary figure in our Joyous Union Sect."

Ye Fan became interested upon hearing this. He realized he indeed didn't know much about Su Ningxue.

After all, she was a Core Formation Realm Cultivator, a Sect Elder, and the Peak Revered Master of Profound Spirit Peak. Ordinary Disciples wouldn't dare discuss her much.

"Forget it. Since she has already accepted you as a Personal Disciple, it's fine to tell you some things, but you must never say I told you.", Elder Tie coughed twice and said.

"Elder Tie, rest assured. Everyone on Profound Spirit Peak knows that I, Ye Fan, am famous for keeping my mouth shut."

Seeing Ye Fan's earnest appearance, Elder Tie decided to trust him for once and then began recounting the past.

"Your Revered Master is no ordinary person. Back then, she was a prominent figure in our Joyous Union Sect. She reached the Foundation Establishment Realm at the age of seventeen, which is even more astonishing than Murong Wan now..."

Even after so many years, Elder Tie still looked like it was fresh in his memory, showing the immense shock Su Ningxue caused back then.

"Foundation Establishment at seventeen?"

Ye Fan couldn't help but gasp. Such talent was too terrifying.

Murong Wan was hailed as a once-in-a-century Genius of Profound Spirit Peak, yet at eighteen, she had only barely reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Realm, and a significant portion of that involved Ye Fan's assistance.

But Su Ningxue achieved Foundation Establishment at seventeen; the gap between them was huge.

Su Ningxue was fiery-tempered in her youth and never tolerated injustice.

If she didn't want to do something, even the Heavenly King himself couldn't force her.

Back then, Disciples pursuing Su Ningxue were as numerous as carp crossing a river, but she looked down on every single one. She declared that she would only consider a Dao Companion if someone could defeat her, turning the Dao Companion Assembly into a martial arts contest for marriage. The final result surprised everyone.

"She defeated over five hundred Disciples one by one. Injured or crippled, not a single one could stand up again."

Recalling that Dao Companion Assembly, Elder Tie even showed a look of slight terror.

"Elder Tie, did you participate back then?"

"Cough cough... If you keep talking nonsense, I won't continue speaking."

"Don't, don't, please continue."

After the Dao Companion Assembly, the Sect selected several outstanding male Disciples to try and form a Dao Companion relationship with Su Ningxue.

But without exception, they were all crippled by her. Eventually, the matter had to be dropped, making her a rare single Peak Revered Master in the Joyous Union Sect.

Although Su Ningxue's temper had somewhat restrained after reaching Major Achievement in her cultivation, her righteous and vengeful nature never changed.

Over the years, the Demonic Path Cultivators with names and reputations who died by her hand numbered no less than eight or nine hundred. She once became an existence that made the heretical and evil paths tremble, earning herself the beautiful title of Fairy Xuanji.

Ye Fan felt a wave of relief upon hearing this, realizing how incredibly lucky he was.

If there had been the slightest mistake back then, even ten of his lives wouldn't have been enough to save him.

"Then how strong is Revered Master's cultivation exactly?" Ye Fan asked curiously.

Elder Tie was silent for a long time before finally uttering one sentence.

"Within the Joyous Union Sect, no more than three people can defeat her."

"Three?"

Ye Fan only knew Su Ningxue was strong before, but he never expected her to be this powerful.

While they were talking, they had already spotted the Yan Family from afar, but the scene appeared exceptionally lively.

The Yan Family's protective Grand Array had been broken at some unknown time, and all eighteen foundation arrays were destroyed.

Innumerable Family members lay scattered inside and outside the Yan Family compound, howling in pain with deformed limbs. Some were even spitting up blood, looking as if only the last breath was keeping them alive.

In the sky, Su Ningxue stood holding her sword, surrounded by nine-colored ribbons and billowing Immortal Qi. Her peerless, beautiful Face radiated intense killing intent, causing the fear in the eyes of countless Yan Family members to almost overflow.

Su Ningxue had known about the assassination attempt on Ye Fan and Murong Wan early on, but she trusted the Sect to provide a reasonable explanation, so she hadn't acted rashly.

However, she hadn't expected the Yan Family to be so thorough, pushing all the blame onto the deceased Yan Jinghun.

Although the Sect had already imposed quite severe punishments, in her view, it was far from enough.

Su Ningxue didn't inform anyone beforehand and went to the Yan Family alone.

Her pretext was to seek friendly sparring, wanting to experience the Yan Family's ultimate technique, Flowing Cloud Strength.

Before Yan Chongtian could refuse, she destroyed the Yan Family's protective Grand Array—which they had spent countless efforts and wealth to build—with just three sword strikes, nearly causing the heartbroken Yan Chongtian to faint.

Su Ningxue, alone with her sword, easily defeated the entire Yan Family. Nearly a thousand Family members were severely injured by her. Even someone as powerful as Yan Chongtian, with his Eighth Level of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivation, couldn't withstand a single move from her.

To prevent any fish from escaping the net, Su Ningxue even set up a barrier enveloping the entire Yan Family, forming a completely isolated world where not even a mosquito could escape.

"The Yan Family's Flowing Cloud Strength is nothing more than this."

Su Ningxue's cold snort echoed throughout the Yan Family, striking fear into countless Family members.

Yan Chongtian could no longer bear it and roared, his voice shaking the heavens.

"Unfilial descendant Yan Chongtian requests the Old Ancestor to take action!"

As Yan Chongtian's voice fell, a light sigh came from the Yan Family's ancestral ground.

Accompanied by a powerful wave of spiritual energy, a white-bearded old man, clearly nearing the end of his life, appeared out of thin air before Su Ningxue.

"Peak Revered Master Su, stop here. My Yan Family admits defeat. Name your terms, and my Yan Family will compensate you fully."

The white-robed old man speaking was the Yan Family's Old Ancestor, Yan Wuming, who was also the only Core Formation Realm Cultivator in the Family.

Yan Wuming clearly understood what had happened, but other than cursing his descendants for being useless, he had no other recourse and could only risk his old Face to plead for leniency.

But what he never expected was that Su Ningxue had no intention of letting the matter rest.

"Compensation? Your Yan Family tries to kill my Profound Spirit Peak Disciple on a whim, and when things blow up, you immediately offer compensation to settle the matter peacefully. Is there such a good deal in this world?"

"How about I slaughter your entire Yan Family, and then you compensate me a little? What do you think?" Su Ningxue sneered.

"You..."

Yan Wuming's Face instantly turned extremely unsightly, and his tone became somewhat hostile.

"Peak Revered Master Su, watch your words. The Sect has already reached a conclusion on this matter; it was the private act of Yan Jinghun and has nothing to do with our Yan Family!"

Yan Wuming wanted to say more, but Su Ningxue directly interrupted him.

"Stop the nonsense. You and I both know the truth of this matter."

"If you can still stand within three moves, I, Su Ningxue, will personally serve you tea and apologize."

"But if you lose, resolving this matter won't be so easy."

"Defeat me within three moves?"

Yan Wuming almost laughed in anger upon hearing this, and he was completely enraged by Su Ningxue.
