Walking to the front hall, Nangong Zhen Shan suddenly stopped, turned his head, and looked inside the hall, saying word by word, "Zhenchen, the only lifeline for the Ye Family is to leave War Abyss immediately, even leave the Small Thousand World, and henceforth live in anonymity!" After speaking, Nangong Zhen Shan stepped away.

Nangong Teng and Nangong Yu quickly followed Nangong Zhen Shan and left.

Only Nangong Jin was left.

Inside the front hall.

Silence.

"Half-step King Martial Realm?????"

Breaking the silence was Ye Xiao, whose face was extremely solemn, his aging eyes trembling: "This..."

Despair.

Too desperate.

He finally understood why Nangong Zhen Shan wanted to dissolve the alliance and call off the engagement.

And some remaining Ye Family high-ups, like several elders, began to tremble, finally contemplating retirement.

Originally, there was a glimmer of hope, but who would have thought... death was certain, and how many wanted to die with them?

"Pack up and leave War Abyss!" Ye Zhenchen spoke, making a firm decision.

Half-step King Martial Realm?

One person could annihilate the entire Ye Family, no joke.

Just as Nangong Zhen Shan said, leaving War Abyss, wandering, evading, is the only choice.

"Father, Half-step King Martial Realm is not that strong! No rush! Tonight, I will keep my appointment! I am confident!"

Ye Tian spoke, a bit helpless, expressing he was quite strong.

"Shut up!!! What do you know?"

Ye Zhenchen scolded: "Is this the time to act impulsively? Have you thought about Qingcheng, about Jinjin, or about Jinjin’s child?"

"Father, you leave if you want, I’m not going. If I can suppress Ye Yang once, I can suppress him a second time. Please believe me!"

Saying this, Ye Tian hugged Nangong Jin and walked outside, Jin Qingcheng also followed beside Ye Tian.

"You..." Ye Zhenchen was almost furious enough to curse!

"Zhenchen, enough, why flee? Believe in Tian’er, I have a premonition that Tian’er will give us a surprise." Sui Qinglian advised.

"Indulgent mothers spoil sons!"

Ye Zhenchen was speechless; it’s fine for a mother to believe in her son, but there should be a limit!

Even the obvious nonsense is believed...

"Ridiculous!!! Ye Zhenchen, when have I been an indulgent mother? You’re just panicking, aren’t you? Hasn’t it crossed your mind, with that little beast Ye Yang’s cunning and schemes, do you really think you can take the entire Ye Family and escape? That little beast has already laid traps all over War Abyss! Do you have any sense?"

Sui Qinglian finished cursing and walked outside.

While Ye Zhenchen and others trembled all over.

Suddenly realized.

Indeed!

How could Ye Yang possibly allow the entire Ye Family to escape?

They’re blinding themselves by being involved!

"Alas!" Ye Zhenchen slumped into a chair.

Apart from Ye Xiao and Ye Zhui, other Ye Family high-ups gradually bowed and left.

"Family Head, the Third Elder, Fourth Elder, and others seem to want to escape."

Ye Zhui said solemnly, his voice carrying murderous intent and anger. Normally, Ye’s martial arts resources supported all high-ups and their branches, yet in times of crisis, they only want to escape, truly unforgivable.

"Let them escape. Escaping is good."

Ye Zhenchen said sadly: "The little beast Ye Yang cares about only me, Qinglian, and Tian’er; as long as the three of us don’t escape, other Ye Family members escaping is entirely possible, it’s already a foregone conclusion, so there is no need for them to join the burial."

Speaking, Ye Zhenchen looked at Ye Zhui and Ye Xiao: "Second Elder, Supreme Elder, you should leave too."

"I am nearing the end of my lifespan, I’ll accompany the Family Head." Ye Xiao smiled, stroking his beard, already accepting the result, having let go of anxiety and tension, feeling very calm, even sipping a cup of tea.

"Family Head, Ye Zhui swears to live and die with the Ye Family." Ye Zhui said solemnly, very seriously.

"Hahahahaha, good!!!"

Ye Zhenchen laughed heartily, the Ye Family lineage spanning ten thousand years, not completely alone at the end.

At this moment.

On the road to Li Pavilion.

Nangong Jin finally broke free from Ye Tian’s embrace, her pretty face flushed, occasionally glancing at Ye Tian, sometimes at Jin Qingcheng with curiosity.

Jin Qingcheng then spoke: "Why didn’t you demonstrate your strength earlier? Doing so would have been more convincing."

Half-step King Martial Realm, Ye Tian said he could handle it, Jin Qingcheng believed him.

Fully trusted.

But to convince the Ye Family, Ye Tian should demonstrate his strength; otherwise, just speaking wouldn’t convince anyone.

"There’s no need to convince them, it’s a perfect opportunity to remove those Ye Family members who can only share wealth, not survive hardships." Ye Tian said with a smile, deliberately.

Indeed.

As Ye Tian, Jin Qingcheng, and Nangong Jin headed towards Li Pavilion...

The Ye Family was already in chaos.

Utter chaos.

Led by the Third Elder, Fourth Elder, Fifth Elder, and others, a large group of Ye Family members crazily packed up and fled.

Most of the servants were like headless flies.

Some with wild ambitions didn’t escape; instead, they sought out the Great Elder Ye Jiuxian, intending to follow Ye Jiuxian, which meant following Ye Yang, already very apparent.

Relying on strong people is not shameful, is it?

Moreover, many Ye Family members considered Ye Yang, also a Ye Family member, more legitimate than the mysterious and unclear Ye Tian.

Eventually.

In just one hour, the Ye Family Palace, originally with over ten thousand people, became deserted.

Among them, over 5,000 escaped, fled War Abyss.

More than 4,000 followed Ye Jiuxian, left the Ye Family, headed to the bamboo forest on the back mountain to join Ye Yang.

The remaining were barely 1,000, predominantly from Ye Zhenchen’s direct lineage and a few like Ye Zhui, who were unafraid of death and absolutely loyal to the Ye Family.

——————

Time swiftly passed.

Soon.

Night fell.

In front of the Ye Family Palace gate.

Led by Ye Zhenchen and Ye Xiao, about a thousand Ye Family members gathered here.

Each face was calm, yet filled with the air of "the wind is cold at Yi Shui."

Everyone knew tonight was the time of death.

Ye Tian slowly arrived with Jin Qingcheng and Nangong Jin.

"Qinglian, you should take Miss Jin and Jinjin and leave." Suddenly, Ye Zhenchen spoke, his voice somewhat pleading: "Especially Jinjin, who can leave a legacy for the Ye Family."

"No need, they can stay." However, Ye Tian replied, smiling: "Not kidding, I’m confident, Ye Yang is not much."

Ye Zhenchen opened his mouth but ultimately only sighed.

He didn’t know where his son got his confidence from, no, it wasn’t confidence anymore, it was arrogance, unreasonable arrogance, but it didn’t matter anymore.
