The Zheng family's annihilation event made the hundreds of thousands present completely realize Ye Longlin's terror.
Before his abdication, no one dared to provoke him, and after his abdication, he proved with his strength that even if he had abdicated, he was not someone ordinary people could provoke.
One of the Ten Great Families, the Zheng family, had already been wiped out by him!
This is insane...
The most crucial point wasn't this; the most crucial point was that several existences of unknown depth appeared on the periphery. Moreover, apart from an old monk, all of them were in the Dao Realm, and there was even one whose depth even Dao Realm existences couldn't discern!
An existence whose depth couldn't be discerned by Dao Realm experts either possessed a treasure that concealed their aura, or they were an existence even higher than the Dao Realm!
But such an existence, by all rights, should not have appeared in the capital!
Were not the Saint Realm beings only in legends?
"How do you think this matter should be concluded?"
This matter had completely blown up, or rather, it was now difficult to conclude.
The Zheng family was completely annihilated because of this matter, and the Ten Great Families truly had a vacancy. If the Zheng family's affairs were not resolved, today's events would be difficult to conclude.
Moreover, with over three hundred thousand people watching, if this was not handled properly, would they still have any face to speak of?
"This matter is difficult to conclude, then..."
After the words fell, flowers of the Great Dao appeared in the sky, filling the entire sky with these flowers of the Great Dao.
"Hiss."
Several people looked up, their eyes filled with shock.
"Great Dao... Great Dao to the Simplest... Peak Dao Realm."
"We still underestimated his strength. Let's retreat quickly. Anyone who goes today will probably die."
Ye Yingrou shrunk his neck. He wanted to leave, and he had clearly seen the Mountain River Seal just now. That was an unparalleled secret art of their Ye family.
Furthermore, he was very clear that Ye Longlin was a member of their Ye family, and it seemed reasonable for him to know the Mountain River Seal.
Ye Longlin's current peak Dao Realm cultivation was immensely profound, and the flowers of the Great Dao filling the sky spoke of his terror.
Some people, not knowing the danger, touched the flowers of the Great Dao, but their entire bodies were instantly blown apart by the surging martial energy of the flowers of the Great Dao!
Above the Zheng family.
A Mountain River Great Seal, entirely jade-white, materialized in the sky. This was the first time the Mountain River Great Seal had appeared in the sky as a solid entity.
In the Zheng family's ancestral hall, an old man slowly opened his eyes, gazing at the Mountain River Great Seal in the sky, lost in thought.
"Mountain River Seal, has the Ye family made a move against us?"
However, before he could react, the colossal Mountain River Great Seal fiercely smashed down from the sky.
All the martial artists of the Zheng family were suppressed and turned into ashes by Master Chen, who appeared last night. All Dao Realm experts died, the Dragon Elephant realm experts were heavily injured, and he himself had escaped only because he was in seclusion in the ancestral hall.
But upon closer reflection, they had not offended the Ye family during this period. If they had to offend anyone, it could only be Ye Longlin.
And only Ye Longlin.
"Does a mere Mountain River Seal intend to suppress my Zheng family?"
The old man sneered, and a ray of divine light fell into his hand. It was a long sword, and deep crimson martial energy began to attach itself to the sword.
"This old man stepped into the martial path at the age of six, and it has been eighty years."
"This old man does not believe that you, Ye Longlin, can suppress me!"
Zheng Huaxiong sneered, a hint of disdain appearing at the corner of his mouth. He wanted to destroy his Zheng family with long-range combat?
His legs bent slightly, and he shot towards the sky like a cannonball, his long sword breaking through the suppressing aura.
"Today, this old man will sever this sky!"
A sword beam shot across the sky, and the two attacks collided. The sword beam was shattered layer by layer beneath the Mountain River Great Seal.
"How is this possible!"
Zheng Huaxiong, as an elder generation expert, was momentarily stunned, but in that brief moment of stupor, it was forcefully smashed down.
Countless Zheng family disciples watched this scene and felt a moment of relief in their hearts, but under the shattering of the sword beam, their faces turned to horror again.
Boom!
The Mountain River Great Seal fiercely smashed down.
Under the power of suppression, countless houses of the Zheng family turned into dust inch by inch by the Mountain River Great Seal.
The entire Zheng family was completely suppressed beneath the Mountain River Great Seal, and only Zheng Huaxiong managed to escape this calamity.
He stared blankly at the scene, his eyes utterly stunned, watching his Zheng family turn to dust.
"This..."
Suddenly, flowers of the Great Dao appeared in the sky, and fear flashed in his pupils.
"Peak... Peak Dao Realm."
Zheng Huaxiong had wanted to break through to the Peak Dao Realm his entire life but could not. Now he encountered a Peak Dao Realm expert who attacked his Zheng family.
Now that the Zheng family had no top experts, they could not resist.
"The Zheng family has perished!"
...
In the Hall of Honor.
Li Chengdao held his thermos, frowning, clearly worried about these matters.
The Grand Elder was also waiting for news from Shenglong Lake.
After a long while, Ning Qi rushed over. Seeing the two elders there, he spoke without hesitation, "Elders, the battle at Shenglong Lake was halfway through when the Zheng family intervened, threatening Wuji and killing Wuji's wife. As a result, Heavenly King Ye intervened, killed members of the Zheng family, and then displayed his Great Dao to the Simplest cultivation, flattening the Zheng family remotely."
Li Chengdao: "..."
Grand Elder: "..."
Li Chengdao swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "What does 'flattened' mean?"
The two, having already guessed the outcome, gasped in unison, utterly disbelieving what they had heard.
"It means that while Heavenly King Ye was in the middle of the battle, he used the Mountain River Seal and wiped out the Zheng family remotely. Only a few martial artists from the entire Zheng family survived."
The two exchanged glances and said nothing.
This is insane, they wiped out the Zheng family in the middle of something.
"The Zheng family was one of the Ten Great Families, they can't just disappear like that, can they?"
Li Chengdao said with a hint of annoyance. This matter seemed simple, but it wasn't easy to destroy a Ten Great Family.
The reason the Ten Great Families were called Ten Great Families was not only because they had an old man in the Hall of Honor or the highest department, but also because of their immense influence in many areas.
"Master Chen has returned. Last night, he eliminated fifteen Dao Realm experts with a single gesture in the Zheng family, heavily injuring many Dragon Elephant realm experts, leaving the Zheng family without high-level martial artists."
The two exchanged glances again. Now they knew, Master Chen had returned.
"Master Chen has returned, this is getting interesting. A Saint Realm expert has returned to back Ye Longlin. I reckon there will be a great upheaval in the capital this time.
A Saint Realm expert is a strategic figure. Now that Master Chen has returned, with a Saint Realm expert stationed in the capital, Ye Longlin will have Master Chen's backing no matter what he does. This time, his prestige will be immense."
