402: With the Yang family making a move, is the Yue family about to be wiped out?

As soon as Zhao Tian made his move, a terrifying pressure swept out.

He followed the Dao of the Spear, focusing primarily on slaughter.

Yue Canghai narrowed his eyes; his expression remained calm as he didn't even try to block Zhao Tian's spear.

“Puff!”

In the next moment.

Yue Canghai's body instantly exploded.

What?!

Yue Mingtian couldn't help but shout, “Old Ancestor!”

His eyes were filled with disbelief and despair; how could the Old Ancestor be killed so easily?

One must know that Yue Canghai was a Rank Six Immortal Emperor, a top-tier existence among Middle Stage Immortal Emperors, yet he was defeated so easily by Zhao Tian, who was in the same Realm.

No matter how one looked at it, this was somewhat inconceivable.

Not only Yue Mingtian, but also the onlookers in the city had expressions of uncertainty and suspicion on their faces.

Clearly, they were also very surprised that Yue Canghai was killed so easily.

They expected Yue Canghai to be no match for two Immortal Emperors, but they didn't expect him to be defeated so quickly.

However.

A sudden change occurred.

Yue Canghai's originally shattered body suddenly turned into flowing water.

This is... Zhao Tian's pupils constricted; he hadn't realized that the person before him was actually Yue Canghai's Incarnation.

Then where was his true body?

In the next moment, he felt a chill run through his body and quickly turned his head to look at Zhou Xiang in the distance.

“Watch out!”

However, the moment the words left his mouth, a figure had already appeared in front of Zhou Xiang. His aura was terrifying to the extreme, with ocean waves constantly roaring within him.

Yue Canghai's eyes were full of coldness and killing intent. The power of his Dao poured out, determined to kill Zhou Xiang.

Feeling the aura on Yue Canghai, Zhao Tian couldn't help but exclaim, “You've had a Breakthrough to Rank Seven Immortal Emperor!”

Immortal Emperors are also divided into Early Stage, Middle Stage, and Late Stage, further subdivided into Ranks One through Nine, with massive gaps between each stage.

Although there is only a one-rank difference between Rank Six and Rank Seven, the gap between the Middle and Late Stages results in a huge difference in combat power.

Zhou Xiang was also filled with shock; he hadn't expected Yue Canghai to come for him. This level of power was definitely intended to kill him instantly.

At this moment.

He was afraid!

He had just broken through to become an Immortal Emperor; his life had only just truly begun. How could he die like this?

He wanted to resist, but Yue Canghai was too fast; he had no time to react at all.

Yue Canghai's eyes were full of coldness.

Outsiders thought he was indecisive, but that was only for the sake of the Yue family. Now, however, the Sky Cloud Sect was pressing them at every turn, leaving the Yue family no way out.

Even a cornered rabbit will bite, let alone an Immortal Emperor expert like him.

Since outsiders thought he was indecisive, today he would show them whether he truly was.

“Boom!”

A terrifying explosion sounded, and the massive shockwave spread in all directions. Buildings within a hundred-mile radius of Yue Canghai instantly collapsed into ruins.

Zhao Tian's heart almost stopped.

Oh no!

Is Zhou Xiang dead!?

He knew that the current Zhou Xiang would find it difficult to withstand this blow. He had been too careless; otherwise, he never would have allowed Zhou Xiang to perish.

“Damn it!”

Zhao Tian's eyes were blood-red, and his heart was filled with extreme rage. He had sacrificed the Yue family's secrets just to secure the opportunity for Zhou Xiang's Breakthrough.

He was watching the Sky Cloud Sect's strength rise again, only for this to happen.

Crucially, his cultivation was slightly weaker than Yue Canghai's; he was only Rank Six, while Yue Canghai was Rank Seven. He was no longer a match for Yue Canghai.

Detestable!

The people in the city fell into a dead silence upon seeing this, their expressions incredibly solemn.

“An Immortal Emperor is still an Immortal Emperor; they are not to be trifled with!”

“Now the Sky Cloud Sect has become a joke. They came looking for trouble, only to have an Immortal Emperor die. But this Yue family Old Ancestor hid his strength far too deeply.”

“It seems the situation is about to reverse. Previously, the Sky Cloud Sect was stronger than the Yue family, but now the Yue family's strength has surged back. Will the fortunes of these two major forces be swapped from now on?”

The sounds of discussion continued to rise.

But there were still many Immortal Emperor-level forces in the city, and they looked into the distance with solemn expressions.

“The matter... isn't over yet!”

Just then, a massive impact sounded.

Amidst the shockwaves, Yue Canghai's figure was like a kite with a broken string, crashing directly toward the Yue family's location.

“Bang!”

A massive impact sounded, audible throughout almost the entire Kaiming City.

The Yue family's estate was torn apart by this massive impact, its original appearance nearly unrecognizable.

The shockwaves dissipated.

A handsome young man with a cold expression, wearing a golden robe, stood in the Void Realm. His aura was restrained, making it impossible to gauge his depth. A Jade Pendant with gold-thread embroidery hung from his waist.

The Yang Family!

As soon as these words were spoken, many people's hearts trembled violently.

The Sky Cloud Sect actually has the Yang Family's support!?

Everyone immediately recognized the newcomer.

The Grand Elder of the Yang Family, Yang Mingxiao.

A Half-Step Dominator Realm expert!

In the entire Kaiming County, there were three Dominator Realm forces. Among them, the Yang Family's strength was the most terrifying, possessing two Dominators, one Half-Step Dominator, and nearly ten Immortal Emperors.

Compared to a power like the Yang Family, the Yue family was like an ant.

One was the overlord of Kaiming County, while the other was merely an Immortal Emperor-level force within the county.

When the members of the Yue family saw Yang Mingxiao, they felt as if the sky had fallen.

It's over!

Yue Mingtian's heart was filled with despair. He knew the Yang Family's strength well; even in the entire Pingxuan Empire, they were considered prominent.

Although the Yue family now had a Dominator Realm expert helping them, would he still be willing to help in the face of the Yang Family?

To be honest, Yue Mingtian felt that Su Chen would simply leave.

Ning'er's master was only at the Dominator Realm. Making an enemy of the Yang Family, the overlord of Kaiming County, for the sake of the Yue family would be an incredibly foolish choice.

Yue Mingtian never expected that the power behind the Sky Cloud Sect was actually the Yang Family!

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something.

Yang Mingxiao wanted to break through to the Dominator Realm, and their Yue family happened to possess such a treasure.

The Yue family is finished!

Despair was written all over Yue Mingtian's face. If the Yang Family wanted to destroy the Yue family, there was almost no possibility of survival.

At this moment.

Seeing that he was safe, Zhou Xiang breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Just moments ago, he thought he was about to die.

“Thank you, Lord Yang!”

Yang Mingxiao didn't speak; he merely gave the other a faint glance before looking away.

Zhou Xiang was a dog raised by the Yang Family, so he naturally couldn't be allowed to die so easily. After all, he was an Immortal Emperor and quite useful; there would certainly be many times they would need him in the future.

Yang Mingxiao looked toward the Yue family again. Yue Canghai lay on the ground, his internal aura weak, with a massive indentation in his chest that looked gruesome and terrifying.

“The Yue family has violated the laws of Kaiming City!”

“Today, this seat shall wipe out the Yue family!”

Yang Mingxiao's voice rang out.

The ancestors of the Yue family were founding contributors to the Pingxuan Empire. If the Yang Family were to act directly, it would be a provocation to the Imperial Family.

To preserve its reputation, the Imperial Family would not agree to the Yang Family's actions.

After all, the Yue family's ancestors did have ties to the Imperial Family.

But now that there were criminal charges, the Imperial Family wouldn't say much if they acted.

Judging by previous probes, the Imperial Family didn't care about the survival of the Yue family at all...
