Zhou Min, revealed to be Xiao Yu's mother, attacks Ye Wu Chen and is incinerated by his black flames. Before she dies, she expresses regret for abandoning Xiao Yu and a desire for revenge against Ye Wu Chen. Xiao Yu, conflicted by her mother's sacrifice and past grievances, coldly attempts to negotiate with Ye Wu Chen, who declares that anyone who harms his beloved will die.

Xiao Yu's face drained of color as she stumbled backward, her eyes wide with terror as she stared at the man.

Swish!

With a flick of his palm, a dark beam shot out, piercing Xiao Yu's chest in an instant as she watched in fear…

"No!"

Xiao You's pupils widened in a shriek of despair. Her body then slowly collapsed to the ground…

Ye Wu Chen retracted his hand and exited the room.

Boom!

Flames erupted the moment he stepped out, soaring into the sky and reducing everything within the room to ashes…

Pfft!

At this moment, Ye Wu Chen could no longer suppress a cough, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His handsome face instantly turned ashen pale…

"It appears I cannot use this secret technique too often."

Wiping away the bloodstain from his lips, Ye Wu Chen smirked, "However, I finally managed to deal with those people this way…"

He paused for a moment before leaving the area without looking back.

Nanyang Region, Region Head Manor.

An overwhelming aura emanated from outside, nearly crushing the Wang brothers. Before they could recover, figures descended from the sky…

"Is this the Region Head Manor? It's not much. I wonder how the people here offended our Lady Zi Yu to make her wish for its annihilation!"

The expressions of the Wang family brothers shifted drastically.

"Who are you?" Wang Hai clenched his fists, eyeing the group above.

A middle-aged man in a dark blue robe hovered in the air, radiating a tyrannical aura. What was more frightening was his potent might.

"Hehe!"

The middle-aged man chuckled softly, a slight smirk playing on his lips as he declared, "I am here to kill all of you!"

His aura surged instantly, pressing down on the crowd with a force capable of toppling mountains and churning seas. Underneath this immense power, everyone's faces turned a deathly pale…

"Where is Mu Ru Yue? Bring her before me!"

"Region Head?"

Wang Hai was momentarily stunned before quickly replying, "Our chief is not present."

"Then where is she?" The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, asking coldly.

"I do not know."

"It seems they are after the Region Head. I must find a way to warn her of their presence and advise caution…"

"It's unfortunate that Hai Wei and his Master left Nanyang Region recently. Thus, there are no experts currently guarding it…"

"Hmph! Even if you refuse to reveal her whereabouts, I can locate her myself. For now, I shall send you all to hell to await her there!"

The middle-aged man sneered and, slowly raising his hand, conjured a powerful storm from his palm.

Boom!

The storm was unleashed towards the Wang family brothers.

"Wang Shu, be careful!"

Wang Hai's expression changed drastically as he shouted anxiously.

However, it was too late. The raging storm was already upon them. Despair flashed in all their eyes…

Wang Hai stared blankly at the approaching tempest, a bitter smile gracing his lips. Just then, a loud collision echoed, shaking the very ground…

Swish!

A stone barrier rose from the earth, deflecting his attack from entering the manor.

As the two brothers stood bewildered by what had occurred, Kong Fan stumbled towards them, panting. He exclaimed, "Wang Hai! Wang Shu! The Region Head Manor's magic array won't hold him for long. You two should use this chance to escape!"

(Teaser)

Xiao Yu's face drained of color as she stumbled backward, her eyes wide with terror as she stared at the man.

Swish!

With a flick of his palm, a dark beam shot out, piercing Xiao Yu's chest in an instant as she watched in fear…

"No!"

Miki dusted off her hands, thinking, "Good riddance! Ye Wu Chen, thank you for eliminating that cockroach for me! I would have personally tortured her to death if you hadn't!"

The hearts of the Wang family brothers shuddered, waves of sorrow washing over them.

"What about yourself…"

Kong Fan let out a hollow laugh upon hearing their inquiry. "I've grown too old. I won't be able to keep up. If I were to flee with you, I'd only be a burden. All of you must scatter and leave this place immediately. Remember to head in different directions, or it will be far too easy for them to target you! These individuals are after the Region Head. Your duty is to warn her, so she can be prepared to face them..."

"Old housekeeper!"

Wang Hai quickly latched onto Kong Fan's arm, saying, "No! We cannot leave you behind. If we go, we go together!"

"Leave quickly!"

Kong Fan mustered all his strength to shove Wang Hai away, shouting at the top of his lungs, "If you don't, none of us will escape!"

Wang Hai stumbled back several steps, his face growing paler by the second.

Boom!

Just as he intended to speak further, the stone wall disintegrated under the assault of the middle-aged man...

"Escaping?"

The middle-aged man descended from the heavens, a sneer gracing his lips as he taunted, "I'm curious who could possibly escape my grasp!"

As the middle-aged man prepared to give chase, Kong Fan, who had been momentarily stunned, suddenly snapped back to his senses. He lunged forward, tackling the middle-aged man to the ground, while simultaneously yelling at the Wang brothers, "Hurry and leave to inform the Lord Region Head!"

"You obstinate old fool!"

The middle-aged man's expression soured. He raised his leg, ruthlessly kicking Kong Fan away.

However, Kong Fan's grip was like iron, his arms clinging stubbornly to the man's leg, refusing to let go...

"Leave!!"

Kong Fan bellowed with his last ounce of strength, pouring all his remaining energy into the command.

Bang!

The middle-aged man struck Kong Fan's head with his palm. Blood began to gush from every orifice, yet Kong Fan's gaze remained fixed on the Wang brothers, even in his final moments...

"Second brother, let's go!"

Wang Hai clenched his fist, tears welling in his eyes as he turned away...

"Stubborn old man, you court death!"

The middle-aged man's displeasure deepened. Drawing his sword, he plunged it into Kong Fan's head before kicking his body away. The corpse slammed into an ancient tree.

Kong Fan's eyes were wide with unfulfilled grievances, blood staining the ground crimson, still trickling from his battered form...

It was as if he had died with a heart full of resentment!

At this precise moment, individuals from the Region Head Manor emerged within the courtyard. The middle-aged man had carved a bloody swathe through them. The once vibrant and bustling courtyard of the Region Head Manor was now a scene of carnage, drenched in blood with bodies strewn everywhere...

God Academy.

While Mu Ru Yue was engaged in a discussion with Lin Ruo Yu, an announcement came from outside.

"Mu Ru Yue, someone is here to see you."

Mu Ru Yue paused for a moment upon hearing this, her mind racing. After a brief silence, she headed out.

The instant she stepped out of her dormitory, two familiar figures came into view. They appeared to have rushed here in a hurry, their appearances disheveled, as if they hadn't rested for days. Mu Ru Yue could barely recognize them.

"Wang Hai! Wang Shu! Why have you two come? And why do you look as though you're fleeing disaster..."

Plop!

Wang Hai fell heavily to his knees, tears of sorrow streaming down his face...

"Chief, we have failed you."

Mu Ru Yue's heart skipped a beat. She instinctively knitted her brows at their expressions, asking, "Could something have happened at the Region Head Manor?"
