The old man was extremely powerful, having reached the peak of Infinite Prime. With his strength, he was basically invincible in an ancient empire like the Divine Kingdom of Pingtian.
The huge hand he condensed possessed surging pulses of energy. Let alone destroying the Tianyuan family, it could even raze the entire provincial city to the ground.
The empress sighed secretly when she saw this. She knew that the fate of the Tianyuan family had already been decided. It was impossible for them to escape. Even if she interfered, she would not be able to change anything.
The old man's actions had completely infuriated Ming Dong. Ming Dong's eyes became extremely frightening. He stared straight at the old man as killing intent surged from him. He did not hide it at all.
Ming Dong pointed at the old man and suddenly roared, "Kill him!" His voice was filled with unconcealable rage.
The middle-aged man in a white robe who had been following Ming Dong nodded slightly when he heard Ming Dong's words. He glanced at the old man indifferently and waved his hand casually.
Immediately, Primordial realm laws that made the old man, who was a Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime, shiver suddenly descended. It turned into a dazzling streak of golden light in the middle-aged man's hand, piercing through space and arriving before the old man in a single instance. Under the old man's shocked gaze, it struck him mercilessly.
There was no deafening boom. The moment the golden light struck the old man, he was silently reduced to ashes. Whether it was his body or his blood, they all dispersed before everyone. Nothing was left behind.
Even his Yuan Spirit had been reduced to ashes.
A Ninth Heavenly Layer Infinite Prime did not even have the chance to cry out. He had been slain by the middle-aged man just like that.
When such a shocking sight landed in the eyes of everyone present, they immediately shuddered. At that moment, including the empress, everyone's gazes gathered on the scholarly middle-aged man who stood silently behind Ming Dong. Their gazes were filled with shock.
"Who else dares to kill my brother's Tianyuan family? Step forward!"
Ming Dong did not even glance at the old man who had been reduced to ashes. Instead, he glared at the people who had come after the empress. He called out as killing intent surged from him.
The expressions of the people who had come after the empress all changed when they heard that. They could not help but stagger a few steps back as fear filled their eyes.
At that moment, none of them dared to underestimate Ming Dong anymore. The middle-aged man's deterrence made them all shiver.
Even though there were Infinite Primes among them, they did not dare to say anything.
"You're not welcome in the Dong 'an province. I'll give you three seconds to piss off. If you're still here after three seconds, uncle Ming, leave none of you alive," Ming Dong said sternly.
"Understood!" The middle-aged man behind him replied indifferently. He glanced past the group of people calmly, but he shivered when he saw the people who had hunted down the empress.
"Let's go!" There was no need for three seconds at all. In just a few seconds, all of them had left.
Emperor Empress and the others, who were prepared to fight to the death, were also dumbstruck by this sudden turn of events.
"Yu 'er, w- w- who are they?" The empress, who was still rather shaken, sent a message to Xi Yu carefully. Her eyes were filled with unconcealable shock.
Xi Yu already knew that the middle-aged man Ming Dong referred to as uncle Ming was very powerful, so she was mentally prepared. As a result, she remained composed. Immediately, she pulled the empress over to Ming Dong and introduced him, "Mother, this is Ming Dong. He's the brother of patriarch Jianchen."
Xi Yu and Ming Dong were already extremely familiar with one another, so even though Ming Dong had displayed quite a lot of strength, she did not act cautiously before him at all.
However, the empress was unable to remain as composed as Xi Yu. She clasped her fist towards Ming Dong cautiously and said gratefully, "So it's young hero Ming Dong. Thank you for your assistance this time. The two of us are extremely grateful."
The empress could tell with a single glance that the terrifyingly powerful middle-aged man seemed to follow Ming Dong completely. As a result, she did not dare to be careless at all when she faced Ming Dong.
She struggled to imagine just how terrifying Ming Dong's origins were for him to be protected by such a powerful Chaotic Prime, and the Chaotic Prime even seemed to listen to him.
"I should be the one thanking you. Thank you for looking after the Tianyuan family in the past few years. Otherwise, my brother's Tianyuan family probably would not have survived until now," Ming Dong said modestly to the empress. Ming Dong smiled and said to the empress extremely modestly. He would never put on any airs before Xi Yu's birth mother.
Afterwards, the empress, Xi Yu, and Ming Dong returned to the Tianyuan family. Everyone gathered in the discussion hall of the Tianyuan family.
"Mother, tell me what happened in the imperial palace. And why hasn't my father come? "Xi Yu asked frantically before everyone had even taken a seat in the discussion hall.
The empress' face darkened when she heard that. She sighed gloomily and said, "Something happened in the Xi dynasty. Ever since your father went to the forbidden grounds of the imperial palace, he never emerged again. Instead, the ancestral emperor who cultivated wholeheartedly in the forbidden grounds suddenly emerged and took control of the Xi dynasty again. He led the Xi dynasty to stand on the side of the Tian Empire."
"As for your father, in order to avenge you, he stirred up a storm of blood in the Xi dynasty. He personally slew the important figures of many large clans and organisations, which made them resent our imperial family long ago. If our imperial family remained powerful, these organisations would naturally not have dared to act up. But now that the ancestral emperor has taken control of the empire, he has mobilised most of the power of the empire to take part in the war. As a result, the internal power of the empire has been depleted. Finally, these people who resented our imperial family long ago grasped the perfect opportunity to wipe us out."
"With the Skyrend Sect as their leader, many of the clans and organisations that had grievances with us all banded together and began a bloody war against our imperial family of the Xi dynasty. As the ancestral emperor was not present in the northern region, our imperial family did not have a Chaotic Prime. As a result, our imperial family was forced into a constant retreat against the Skyrend Sect's counterattack … "
"Mother, is my father in danger? Otherwise, why hasn't he emerged since he entered the forbidden grounds? "Xi Yu did not care about the chaos within the Xi dynasty. She still worried about her father the most.
"I don't know. I really don't know what happened to Ziyun. If you say he's in danger, the people in the forbidden grounds are all seniors of our Xi clan. Not to mention that your grandfather is among them as well. How could they lay their hands on a fellow clansman?" The empress shook her head. Her face was filled with worry. She refused to believe that it was true.
"No, mother. I have to go back. It's extremely likely that my father is in danger. I have to go save him," Xi Yu said firmly. She had finally reunited with her parents after so much difficulty, so she could not allow anything to happen to her father.
