In the Ye family's old residence.
"Now that the Emperor is suddenly seriously ill, I'm afraid he won't last more than a few days. From the current situation, the Imperial City is basically under the control of the Jiang family and the ancient warrior families. There is no doubt that the Crown Prince will succeed the throne."
"With the Crown Prince's character, once he succeeds the throne, our three family clans and the Second Prince will be in a very dangerous situation. The Crown Prince and the Jiang family will definitely not tolerate our existence." The Ji family's patriarch, Ji Yanzheng, said solemnly.
"That's right. I never expected the Jiang family to invite the Shen Tu family clan and the Shangguan family clan to help them control the situation." The Bai family's patriarch, Bai Xishan, said softly.
After learning that the Zi Jin Emperor was seriously ill, the Ye family and the Ji family took precautions and invited the Bai family to help. They wanted to turn the situation around and control the Imperial City to help the Second Prince ascend the throne.
However, they never expected that the Jiang family would invite the Shen Tu family clan and the Shangguan family clan to help. This directly crushed their thoughts of counterattacking and controlled the situation, causing them to fall into a desperate situation.
"Sigh, if only Chengfeng was here. With him around, the Crown Prince would probably have to think twice before dealing with us." The Ye family's patriarch, Ye Qingchuan, sighed softly and said worriedly.
"Not necessarily! Now, Ye Chenfeng might not even be able to protect himself. If he were to appear publicly, someone would immediately take his life. "Ji Yanzheng shook his head gently and said.
"Why? Did Chengfeng offend someone?"
Ye Qingchuan did not know about the conflict between Ye Chenfeng and You Shanxian. When he heard Ji Yanzheng's words, his expression changed greatly.
"Qingxue, why don't you say it."
Thinking of the people that Ye Chenfeng had offended, Ji Yanzheng felt a sense of helplessness.
"The person who wants to harm Chengfeng is called You Shanxian. He is a disciple of the Heavenly Fire Sect's Yin Yang Hall. His grandfather is an Elder of the Heavenly Fire Sect's Yin Yang Hall. Previously, the Shen Tu family clan's pursuit of Chengfeng was ordered by them."
"In order to kill Chengfeng, Youshan Xian even left a Heavenly Beast Immortal expert in the Imperial City, waiting for Chengfeng to appear and kill him," Ji Qingxue, who was sitting in a corner, said softly with a heavy heart.
At this time, Ji Qingxue had already learned from Bai Xiya that Ye Chenfeng was the Master Chen that she had been yearning for day and night. Thinking of Ye Chenfeng's kindness to her family and her original attitude toward him, Ji Qingxue fell into deep self-reproach and regret.
"What …"
Hearing that Ye Chenfeng had actually offended the grandson of the Heavenly Fire Sect's Yin Yang Hall Elder, and that there were even Heavenly Beast Immortals in the Imperial City waiting to kill him, everyone's expression changed drastically, especially Ye Qingchuan, whose heart fell to the bottom.
"Could it be that the heavens really want to exterminate my Ye Clan?" Ye Qingchuan said with some despair.
"Patriarch Ye, I'm afraid there's no place for us in the Imperial City anymore. Why don't we leave the Imperial City as soon as possible and find somewhere else to stay?" Ji Yanzheng suggested in a low voice.
"Sigh, this is the only way now." Ye Qingchuan sighed softly. Once the Crown Prince ascended the throne, only destruction would await them.
"Everyone, where do you want to go?"
Just as Ye Qingchuan and Ji Yanzheng were about to take advantage of the chaos to leave the Imperial City after their discussion, a low voice sounded in the silent main hall.
The Patriarch of the Jiang Clan, Jiang Zhongxiong, led a large group of Imperial City's Royal Guards into the Ye Clan's old residence and surrounded them in the meeting hall.
"Jiang Zhongxiong, what are you trying to do?"
Ye Qingchuan looked at Jiang Zhongxiong, who was wearing a dark golden robe and had a cold expression, and the hundreds of Royal Guards who were wearing golden armor and holding long spears. His face was gloomy as he spoke.
"What am I trying to do?" Jiang Zhongxiong sneered and said, "You colluded with the outside and attempted to overthrow the imperial power of the Kingdom of Zijin. I'm here on the orders of the Crown Prince to capture you traitors."
"What are you waiting for? Quickly capture these daring traitors and throw them into the Imperial Prison to await the Crown Prince's punishment."
"Jiang Zhongxiong, don't slander us. When did we attempt to overthrow the imperial power of the Kingdom of Zijin?" Ji Yanzheng asked angrily as a strong aura burst out from his body.
If they were captured by the Royal Guards and thrown into the Imperial Prison, they would never be able to escape alive.
"What's wrong, Ji Yanzheng? Are you going to resist?" Jiang Zhongxiong said coldly, "I'm warning you, you better behave yourselves. Whoever dares to resist will be killed without mercy."
"Old Ji, Old Bai, let's fight it out with them and kill our way out."
Ye Qingchuan slapped his Qiankun Pouch and took out a dark green long spear, preparing to forcefully break out of the encirclement.
"Looks like if I don't teach you a lesson, you won't behave." Jiang Zhongxiong revealed a cold smile and said, "Brother Shentu, I'll leave Ye Qingchuan and the others to you."
"Okay!"
Behind Jiang Zhongxiong, a short old man wearing a black robe nodded and slowly walked out. Rays of blue light were emitted from his body.
"Blue soul power, Earth Beast General expert."
Although the Ye Family and the Ji Family were the four great families of the Kingdom of Zijin, because of their heritage, they didn't have any Earth Beast General experts.
Therefore, after witnessing the strength of the old man in black, Ji Yanzheng, Ye Qingchuan and the others revealed a look of despair.
"Are you going to surrender or let me kill you?" The old man in black glanced at Ye Qingchuan and the others with his vulture-like fierce eyes and said coldly.
Looking at the old man in black's fierce eyes, Ji Yanzheng and the others felt as if they were being stared at by a hungry wolf. A chill ran down their spines and the thought of resisting became weaker and weaker.
"What are you all standing there for? Tie them up and take them away."
Seeing that Ji Yanzheng and the others were intimidated by the old man in black, Jiang Zhongxiong revealed a cold smile and ordered.
"Wait, leave the two of them behind."
Jiang Zhongxiong's deep gaze swept across the lovely Ji Qingxue and Bai Xiya as he spoke maliciously. "What are you waiting for?" Ji Yanzheng and the others' Soul Powers were sealed and their hands were tied behind their backs.
Hearing Jiang Zhongxiong's order to leave the two of them behind, Ji Qingxue and Bai Xiya's beautiful faces turned pale and their beautiful eyes were filled with fear.
"Jiang Zhongxiong, what are you trying to do? If you dare to hurt my granddaughter, I won't let you go even if I become a ghost." Ji Yanzheng glared at Jiang Zhongxiong with bloodshot eyes and roared loudly.
Bai Xishan also struggled with all his might and wanted to skin Jiang Zhongxiong alive.
"Hmph, do you think I'm afraid of you?" Jiang Zhongxiong sneered and said with disdain.
"Jiang Zhongxiong, I'm the last disciple of Mansion Master Qian. If you hurt me, Mansion Master Qian will definitely avenge me." Ji Qingxue bit her lips tightly and said, wanting to use Qian Daobai's deterrence to pressure Jiang Zhongxiong.
"Hmph, Qian Daobai! I'm not afraid to tell you that the one who has taken a fancy to you is not me, but Lord Nethery of the Yin Yang Hall. With Lord Nethery's strength as a Level 4 Heavenly Beast Immortal, a mere Qian Daobai dares to go against her. However, if the two of you can serve Lord Nethery well, perhaps Lord Nethery will be happy and spare your lives. "
"Jiang Zhongxiong, you despicable person, you'll die a horrible death!"
Ji Yanzheng knew that the Yin Yang Hall of the Heavenly Fire Sect was proficient in the Dao of Sexual Intercourse. Any girl who fell into their hands would be ruined by them.
"Damn it, you still dare to scold me at this time."
Jiang Zhongxiong looked at Ji Yanzheng, who was struggling like a furious lion, with the veins on his neck popping out. Jiang Zhongxiong took a big stride forward and punched Ji Yanzheng's chest with his fist that was filled with Soul Power, sending Ji Yanzheng flying. Ji Yanzheng's body crashed heavily onto the ground.
"In the future, there will be no Ye Family, no Ji Family, no Wen Family in the Imperial City. There will only be my Jiang Family." Jiang Zhongxiong stepped on Ji Yanzheng's face and said arrogantly.
