The Yin Sha power surging towards Ye Kunlun was like a raging river, turbulent and as if an evil dragon were churning the seas.
Ye Kunlun's expression was cold. He watched the incoming Yin Sha power, gently twirled the Star River Sword in his hand, and instantly unleashed a myriad of sword flowers.
"Go!"
Ye Kunlun uttered a soft cry, and the myriad sword flowers slashed towards the surging Yin Sha power.
The terrifying sword intent made the distant Daoist Wuji's heart palpitate.
"How can this child be so terrifying?"
Daoist Wuji murmured softly.
Behind him, Changsun Qingwan's gaze was complex as she asked in a low voice, "Master, do you regret it?"
Daoist Wuji snorted, "Everything in this world is a calculation. Win or lose, there is no regret."
Upon hearing her master's words, Changsun Qingwan sighed softly, "Master, after this incident, the Changsun family will likely fall out of the Seven Great Families of the Capital."
"It's just a temporary gain or loss. Moreover, there might still be a turning point."
Daoist Wuji replied indifferently, his words leaving Changsun Qingwan somewhat perplexed.
In the air.
The myriad sword qi directly repelled the surging Yin Sha energy.
However, the Yin Sha energy continuously poured out from the seal of the ancestral land, impossible to completely eradicate.
Ye Kunlun snorted coldly, flashed to the ground, picked up Changsun Changkong and Changsun Ji, and prepared to leave.
"Benefactor Ye, leave these two!"
Seeing this, Daoist Wuji attempted to stop Ye Kunlun.
Ye Kunlun, however, let out a cold snort. A terrifying sonic wave attack directly forced Daoist Wuji back.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Kunlun, Changsun Ji, and Changsun Changkong had vanished.
"This is not over!"
Ye Kunlun left a parting statement.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night for the Capital.
The news of Ye Kunlun's assault on the Changsun family immediately reached the ears of the various prominent families in the Capital.
They could never have imagined that Ye Kunlun would truly attack the Changsun family for a subordinate, slaughtering an unknown number of people.
He had even crippled Changsun Ji and severed Changsun Changkong's legs.
All those who had gloated felt a chill in their hearts, relieved that they had not impulsively declared their support for the Changsun family.
Otherwise, they would have been next.
The Tang family.
Granny Tang, listening to the servant's report, could not smile. "Changsun Changkong is, after all, the head of one of the Seven Great Families. Having his legs crippled by Ye Kunlun is a considerable blow to us Seven Great Families."
As she spoke, the Granny's expression turned cold. "However, this brat has avenged our Tang family. I was planning to settle accounts with Changsun Changkong for my poisoning and the theft of the Tang family's fortune. Now it seems..."
"Granny."
Tang Zhuozhuo, who had returned to the Tang family, could not help but interject, "The other elders of the Changsun family have not yet returned."
Granny Tang understood Tang Zhuozhuo's implication and nodded. "Issue a decree from the head of the family, summoning the Tang family elders to return."
At this juncture, Granny Tang unhesitatingly chose to stand with Ye Kunlun.
The three strongest ancestral elders of the Changsun family had not returned, and everything was just beginning. The real fierce battle lay ahead.
She had to make a decision now to ensure Ye Kunlun stood with their Tang family's great ship.
After all, the Nangong family had already begun to make their move.

Besides the Tang family.
The other families among the Seven Great Families of the Capital, who had not yet been involved with Ye Kunlun, could no longer remain indifferent.
The Sui family.
The atmosphere in the council hall was somewhat tense.
Sui Yan looked at his father, Sui Zhenning, and said in a deep voice, "Father, this child Ye Kunlun actually crippled Changsun Changkong. He utterly disregards our Seven Great Families of the Capital."
"The honor of the Seven Great Families of the Capital must not be infringed. I believe we should gather the other families to deal with this child together!"
Sui Yan's eyes were filled with coldness. "If I had known this would happen, we should have broken off the engagement earlier. If we try to break it off now, they might control us!"
Sui Zhenning listened to Sui Yan's words, his expression fluctuating.
"Father, what are you still hesitating about?" Sui Yan looked at his father with some confusion. "No matter how powerful this child is, he cannot possibly stand against the Seven Great Families of the Capital by himself."
"If we delay any longer, resolving this child might be..."
"This matter, we will discuss again!"
Sui Zhenning interrupted Sui Yan's words, his voice deep. "The Shanhe Platform has not made any moves. Who knows what that person is thinking? Acting rashly at this time will put the Sui family in a passive position!"
"But..."
Sui Yan wanted to say more, but was stopped by a stern look from Sui Zhenning.
"Sui Yan, you have been managing the family's affairs all these years. Do not think I do not know what you have been doing behind my back!"
Sui Zhenning's voice grew colder.
Sui Yan's expression changed slightly, and he quickly began to explain, "Father, your son's actions are all for the good of the Sui family!"
"Hmph, I hope so!"

The Ji family, Water Moon Pavilion.
Ji Ruyue was truly startled upon hearing the news that Changsun Changkong had been crippled by Ye Kunlun.
Although the Seven Great Families had no rankings, the overall strength of the Changsun family was definitely ranked first.
She never expected Changsun Changkong to end up in such a state.
"Mother, should we get involved in this matter?" Ji Ruyue asked her mother.
"Wait and see!"
The Yan family, Lake Pavilion.
"My precious daughter, this Ye Kunlun has stirred up the Capital today, even cutting off Changsun Changkong's legs. Does he catch your eye?"
In front of the stone table, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, with a smile, looked at the young woman standing beside him, with her high ponytail and heroic demeanor.
Yan Chuxin looked at the vast expanse of the dark lake and opened her lips lightly, "Dad, I'll say it again, I won't marry!"
The middle-aged man was stunned by her words, then chuckled softly, "My precious daughter, how many young people in this world do you think are stronger than him?"
"In short, the man I, Yan Chuxin, marry must be the strongest in this world!"
The middle-aged man sighed, "This situation is indeed difficult. We'll wait a little longer."

The Wei Chi family.
Wei Chi Cheng sat alone on a chair, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, and murmured to himself, "I wonder when that girl Changge will return. If she doesn't return soon, your husband might become an enemy of the entire Capital."
As he spoke, Wei Chi Cheng shook his head and lightly clapped his hands.
"Patriarch."
A young man wearing a black mask appeared like the wind and knelt before Wei Chi Cheng.
"Go to the Southern Border and personally tell Changge everything that has happened in the Capital regarding Ye Kunlun."
Wei Chi Cheng ordered.
"Yes!"

Shanhe Platform.
Eunuch Yuwen stood outside the main hall, reporting everything that had happened today in detail.
After a long while, a question came from within the hall, "You say Ye Kunlun clashed with Daoist Wuji? Who won or lost between them?"
Eunuch Yuwen was startled, not expecting his master to be concerned about this matter.
He quickly replied, "Reporting to Master, I am not entirely clear about this."
"Heh, if Wuji had won, he would never have allowed Ye Kunlun to take the people away."
The voice from the hall held a hint of amusement.
