"Little shrew, who's the one caught now?"
Qin Xiaoyu gazed at Qin Xiaoqian before her, her voice icy cold. She had learned from Eighth Grandfather that many from her lineage had been chased down by Qin Xiaoqian leading forces. Naturally, her hatred for this woman had reached its peak.
"Qin Xiaoyu, what are you going to do? Are these creepy ghostly things your doing?"
Seeing Qin Xiaoyu suddenly appear before her, Qin Xiaoqian cried out in shock and fury.
Qin Xiaoyu drew a longsword, brandished it repeatedly, and directly dismembered Qin Xiaoqian's physical body into several pieces.
As for the others Qin Xiaoqian had brought with her, each was trapped within the Ghost Wall maze, incapable of resistance. One by one, Huang Shang devoured their Soul Bodies.
Huang Shang had previously devoured a True God level Soul Body, significantly increasing his strength. Dealing with these ordinary Void Gods was now a simple task.
Moreover, with Ye Yunfei and other True Gods standing nearby assisting, it was like adding wings to a tiger. In less than a moment, all those brought by Qin Xiaoqian had been killed, leaving only Qin Xiaoqian's Soul Body hovering there, trembling and filled with terror.
"How is this possible?"
Qin Xiaoqian simply could not accept the reality before her eyes.
"Young Master Ye, let's not kill this little shrew outright just yet. She is a core disciple of my eldest uncle's lineage. I want to bind her up and execute her in front of her own people, to truly vent the hatred in my heart."
Qin Xiaoyu said to Ye Yunfei.
"Do as you wish."
Ye Yunfei willed it, completely sealing Qin Xiaoqian's Soul Body and placing a mark within it.
With this mark, a mere thought from Ye Yunfei would shatter Qin Xiaoqian's Soul Body into pieces.
"Impossible! Qin Xiaoyu, who exactly is this pretty boy you brought? What is his background? Why does he have such terrifying methods?"
Qin Xiaoqian, clearly unwilling to submit, screamed shrilly.
"Little shrew, Young Master Ye's origins are not something you are fit to inquire about. Now that you are in my grasp, enjoy it well."
Qin Xiaoyu looked coldly at the now-grotesque Soul Body of Qin Xiaoqian. After speaking, she took out a Soul Power type magic treasure and, with a boom, smashed it onto Qin Xiaoqian's Soul Body.
Ah…
Qin Xiaoqian immediately let out piercing screams. The pain originating from her Soul Body was the most excruciating kind. Qin Xiaoyu then continuously attacked Qin Xiaoqian's Soul Body, subjecting her to brutal torture.
"Just what is going on?"
The change had happened too suddenly, and the process was too fast. Until now, Eighth Grandfather stood there, face full of disbelief. He had thought death was inevitable for them, yet in a sudden twist, the opposite side had all been killed in a short period, leaving only Qin Xiaoqian's Soul Body.
Moreover, the whole process involved no particularly intense fighting; the biggest commotion was the billowing ghost fog and the dense maze of Ghost Walls Huang Shang had conjured.
"Xiaoyu, what exactly happened? Who is this young man? Did he kill all these people just now?"
Eighth Grandfather asked Qin Xiaoyu.
"Eighth Grandfather, don't worry. With Young Master Ye here, we'll be safe. Just trust me."
Qin Xiaoyu said with a smile.
"No! Xiaoyu, even though this young man can easily deal with Void Gods, your eldest uncle's lineage has hired a powerful group of people, among them are two True Gods. Furthermore, it seems our Qin Family's Ancestor now favors your eldest uncle's side; otherwise, with matters escalating so severely, why hasn't the Ancestor stepped in to resolve it?
Though this young man has extraordinary methods, the opposition has True Gods. Xiaoyu, you should take this chance to leave quickly."
Eighth Grandfather still hoped Qin Xiaoyu would take the opportunity to flee. Because Qin Xiaoyu's eldest uncle's side now had powerful troops and irresistible momentum, he simply did not believe this unfamiliar young man could deal with True Gods.
"Eighth Grandfather, I won't talk more about it. I need to go rescue my parents and family now."
Qin Xiaoyu said.
"Young Master Ye, my parents and family are inside that world. We must hurry and save them."
Qin Xiaoyu pointed at a world in the distance and spoke.
"Alright, let's go inside now and take a look."
Ye Yunfei nodded and immediately led the way towards that world.
"Don't! Fierce fighting is happening inside, it's extremely dangerous!"
Seeing Ye Yunfei and Qin Xiaoyu about to enter that world, Eighth Grandfather was startled and hurriedly tried to stop them. But Ye Yunfei's movement technique was far too fast, not something he could intercept.
Ye Yunfei's figure flashed, instantly arriving before the entrance to that world. The Earth Demon Clan ancestor and the other True Gods, bringing Qin Xiaoyu, closely followed behind Ye Yunfei.
"What's happening? How can their speed be this fast?"
Eighth Grandfather realized he was completely unable to stop these people. Before he understood what was happening, they had all bypassed him.
"My parents, brothers, and sisters are all inside this world. I don't know how they are faring now."
Qin Xiaoyu appeared extremely anxious.
"We'll enter right now and see."
Ye Yunfei said, then, holding Qin Xiaoyu, stepped right into the world ahead.
"Don't go in!"
Eighth Grandfather called out anxiously from behind, but Ye Yunfei had already entered the world with the others.
"Oh no, how am I going to explain this to Xiaoyu's father?"
Eighth Grandfather felt a sense of despair. Although he had witnessed the strength of Ye Yunfei's group earlier, the opposing side had True God experts. Moreover, the Qin Family Ancestor still hadn't stepped out to stop this chaotic situation, clearly not wanting to intervene.
Under these circumstances, Qin Xiaoyu's father's lineage seemed to have no chance of winning. Qin Xiaoyu's return now was simply a death wish.
Upon entering the world, Ye Yunfei immediately saw intense battles raging everywhere within. Two factions were engaged in bloody slaughter.
"Qin Haoxuan, you are worse than an animal! To vie for the position of family head, you've drawn in outsiders to massacre your own clansmen. Even if you become family head through such filthy, vicious means, your rule won't last. Our Qin Family will certainly be ruined by you."
Two middle-aged men were in fierce combat. A man in white robes, holding a silver war halberd, pointed angrily at a slightly portly man in yellow robes not far away, roaring furiously.
"Hahaha! Qin Hongyi, it was clearly your lineage who first betrayed our Qin Family, damaging our clan's interests. I have long since investigated thoroughly. It was you who secretly orchestrated the two Divine Crystal veins of our Qin Family being attacked by outside enemies, and the Qin Family members guarding the veins all being killed. You dared to kill your own clansmen to seize the family's Divine Crystal veins, and now you dare to fling accusations at me instead? Qin Hongyi, do you think anyone will believe you?
I've already reported your actions to the Ancestor. Today, I lead these men to wipe out the traitors of your lineage with the Ancestor's approval; otherwise, the Ancestor would have stepped in to stop me by now.
Everyone, don't listen to Qin Hongyi's lies. Attack together and wipe out Qin Hongyi's traitorous lineage!"
The man named Qin Haoxuan roared with laughter and declared.
This Qin Haoxuan was Qin Xiaoyu's eldest uncle. The white-robed man named Qin Hongyi was Qin Xiaoyu's father. Qin Hongyi and Qin Haoxuan were the two strongest contenders for the next Qin Family patriarch. Competing for the position had split the Qin Family into two factions—one led by Qin Haoxuan, the other by Qin Hongyi. The two sides had been covertly and overtly struggling for many years, and now, finally, they were clashing most violently.
"Qin Haoxuan, it was clearly you who sent people to destroy our Qin Family's Divine Crystal veins! It was you who killed those Qin Family members guarding them! Qin Haoxuan, I thought at worst, to fight for the patriarch position, you might move against me. I never imagined you'd go so far as to attack innocent Qin Family members!"
Qin Hongyi angrily refuted.
"Qin Hongyi, trying to quibble is useless now. I advise you to submit willingly and accept death."
Qin Haoxuan, wielding a longsword, unleashed a sky-full of brilliant sword beams as he rushed to kill Qin Hongyi. After a round of verbal warfare, they began another intense melee.
Within this world, the fighting between the two factions had also reached its hottest phase. However, anyone could see that Qin Haoxuan's side had already gained the upper hand. Qin Hongyi's side was being suppressed, and casualties were starting to increase severely.
"Young Master Ye, there are indeed two True Gods over there, but they haven't intervened yet."
At that moment, the Earth Demon Clan's ancestor suddenly pointed at two gray-robed figures in the distance and sent a divine sense message.
The two gray-robed figures were completely shrouded within gray cloaks, their faces even covered, making it impossible to discern their features.
Ye Yunfei extended his Soul Power to sense them and found they were indeed True Gods, but he just gave a cold smile.
Both were Primary True Gods.
"Young Master Ye, our lineage has completely fallen behind now. Please help quickly, or we'll be wiped out.
Oh no, that one over there is my elder sister! She's in danger! Sister, I'm coming!"
While Qin Xiaoyu was speaking, she suddenly used her movement technique and rushed into the distance.
Over there, a young girl with features very similar to Qin Xiaoyu was being besieged by several Void Gods. Already wounded, she was forced to retreat repeatedly; her situation was critical.
Ye Yunfei willed it and unleashed a Heart Force energy attack.
Argh...!
All the Void Gods surrounding Qin Xiaoyu's elder sister were sent flying, shrieking in agony. Their eyes, ears, nose, and mouth bled, and they died instantly.
"Great!"
Seeing this, Qin Xiaoyu could not help but rejoice.
"Sister! You're alright now!"
Qin Xiaoyu rushed to her sister's front, tears of joy welling up.
"Xiaoyu, is that you? This is terrible! Weren't you outside? Didn't you receive the message? Why did you come back?"
Seeing Qin Xiaoyu, her elder sister's initial joy turned to alarm, and she exclaimed in shock.
"Sister, I did receive the message. I came back specifically to help you all."
Qin Xiaoyu said.
"What kind of help can you be here for? This is sheer madness. The situation is extremely dangerous; leave immediately!"
Qin Xiaoyu's elder sister hissed sternly.
"Sister, don't worry. Our lineage will be fine because I've invited Young Master Ye back."
Qin Xiaoyu said.
"Young Master Ye? Who is Young Master Ye?"
Hearing this, Qin Xiaoyu's elder sister was momentarily stunned; she couldn't recall any character known as Young Master Ye.
"Xiaoyu! What are you doing back here? Leave this place immediately, the sooner the better!"
Just then, a severe voice echoed within Qin Xiaoyu's soul sea.
"Father, don't worry, I'll be fine."
Qin Xiaoyu immediately replied.
"Enough nonsense! I will send people now to protect you in a breakout. Go hide outside!"
Qin Hongyi sent back a stern voice message.
"What? Xiaoyu brought a young man back, possibly someone she likes?"
Right at that moment, he received a divine sense message from Eighth Grandfather.
