With a slash in the darkness, rows of trees fell, and a winding path appeared.
She signaled to Chen Fan with her eyes, "What did you think of that last slash?"
Chen Fan casually replied, "It was alright, passable!"
An Ye snorted and strode through the woods with her saber.
Familiar territory.
But as soon as they reached the path, over ten people rushed out.
All with eyes as cold as knives.
That’s right, they were the outermost guards of the Yu family.
A young man at the front called out, "Who dares trespass on Yu family territory!"
An Ye said coldly, "Yu Ming, you don't recognize me so soon?"
The young man called Yu Ming was stunned for a moment, then he began to examine An Ye carefully.
The next second, his heart jolted, "It... it's really you, you're still alive?"
"Yes, I'm still alive, didn't expect that!" An Ye narrowed her eyes, her gaze sinister, not concealing the killing intent in her heart at all.
Yu Ming immediately roared, "Heh heh... Yu Muqing, you dare to come back, truly a case of the road to heaven is blocked, and you seek the gates of hell!"
"Since you've come back to die, I'll grant your wish!"
An Ye sneered and, without another word, charged forward.
She swung her saber.
This saber strike, imbued with the power of a Grandmaster, unleashed a fearsome force the moment it was unleashed.
In a flash, Yu Ming and the others were all sent flying, heavily injured, in utter disarray and screaming.
"This..." Yu Ming was dumbfounded, never expecting An Ye to be so powerful now. He vaguely remembered that when they were chasing An Ye back then, their strengths were not that different, "How... how did you suddenly become so strong?"
"You..."
An Ye strode forward and stomped on Yu Ming's chest.
This silenced him immediately.
Yu Ming couldn't catch his breath and died on the spot.
An Ye showed no mercy to the others either... because she knew clearly that all these people in front of her had participated in the chase against her back then.
Seeing this, Chen Fan was also somewhat surprised, not expecting the girl to be so swift and decisive.
He marveled…
Decisive and ruthless, truly extraordinary!
Chen Fan was like a transparent presence now, quietly following behind An Ye, watching her performance.
An Ye dragged Yu Ming's corpse and walked up the mountain step by step.
Soon, a massive Chinese-style manor appeared halfway up the mountain, the entire estate incredibly grand, as if it had merged with the mountain itself.
An Ye raised her arm and flung Yu Ming's corpse away.
Her target was the two gilded characters above the gate—
The Yu Family!
*Clang!*
Instantly, the gilded plaque hit the ground and shattered into two halves.
At this very moment, it alerted many people in the Yu family, and more and more guards rushed out, including many internal realm experts, as many as a hundred.
There were even Transformation Realm powerhouses who rushed out.
The Yu family was a lineage that had been passed down for nearly three hundred years, so one could imagine how many strong individuals they possessed.
"Who goes there?"
A Transformation Realm mid-stage expert, over sixty years old, rushed out.
"I..."
An Ye stepped forward.
Carrying that rust-covered long saber.
At first, everyone present didn't recognize her as An Ye.
After a while, they did.
"It's you..."
The elder was also shocked.
An Ye sneered, "What, my being alive bothers you immensely, doesn't it!"
The elder’s gaze deepened, and without another word, he lunged forward.
An Ye could also see the killing intent the Yu family harbored towards her.
She smiled coldly and suddenly executed a backhand saber strike…
