Ye Xuan declared he would challenge all present from the Ghost King Valley, the Zhao family, and Qingcheng Mountain. Despite the shock and fury of the assembled experts, Ye Xuan mercilessly slaughtered them all. In the end, only Huang Yan remained, terrified and broken, before Ye Xuan delivered the finishing blow, leaving no survivors from the three sects.

A common saying speaks of life's three great joys: a promotion, accumulating wealth, and the passing of a spouse.

Liu Qiankun found himself recently blessed with a double portion of these felicities.

The Wang Family, like a cicada unaware of the mantis behind it, was utterly devastated. In their moment of desperation, the Liu Family struck decisively, eradicating them completely and absorbing all their assets, thereby reaping immense fortune.

His wife had also passed, her funeral concluded not long ago.

Juggling the exhilaration of these two momentous events, Liu Qiankun's days had become exceptionally pleasant. He had even gained several pounds in less than a month, his heart filled with daily happiness.

"One must savor these peak moments of life; true joy!"

Embracing multiple beauties, their soft forms filling his arms, Liu Qiankun couldn't help but emit a hearty laugh.

After years spent like a hidden dragon, he had finally soared past the Wang Family to seize true power. Declaring the Liu Family the foremost clan in Yan Country was no longer an overstatement, and as its patriarch, Liu Qiankun relished the immense prestige and splendor.

Within the opulent private chamber,

Suddenly, a figure clad in black burst through the entrance.

"Ah!"

The several beautiful women, entirely unclothed in Liu Qiankun's embrace, shrieked in unison and scrambled to conceal themselves in a corner.

Liu Qiankun, his bliss abruptly shattered, was consumed by rage. He fixed a furious glare upon the intruder in black and bellowed, "What is the meaning of this?!"

"Spare me, Master!"

The man in black immediately dropped to his knees.

Liu Qiankun's brow furrowed; his initial impulse was to grab a nearby weapon, but seeing the abject fear, he swiftly regained composure. Setting down the ashtray, he asked with chilling coldness, "Speak! Why the extreme panic?"

"Something... something has transpired at Canglang Island!" the man in black stammered, trembling.

"What?"

The words struck Liu Qiankun like lightning. He jolted upright, his gaze locking onto the trembling man in black. "Something has happened? What exactly? This plan was foolproof! With three major Sects united and the Sword God leading the charge, how could it have possibly failed?"

"Master, the intel is confirmed, something truly did occur!"

The man in black reiterated, "Ye Xuan's might rivals that of gods and demons! He shattered the Northern Federation's Sword God with a single strike. Qingcheng Mountain's Sect Master Chen Yue was also dispatched swiftly, and even Master Zhao Yunhai of the Zhao Family could not escape his grasp!"

Liu Qiankun's eyes bulged, his irises seeming ready to burst from their sockets.

The sheer magnitude of the shock rendered him utterly speechless.

The man in black continued his mournful report, "This time, every single disciple from the three major Sects who ventured to Canglang Island... they are all deceased. Every last one!"

Deceased.

All gone.

Not a single survivor!

Liu Qiankun stood frozen, as if struck by a bolt from the heavens, utterly dumbfounded by the news.

Such a devastating blow!

Such calamitous tidings!

The combined might of the three great Sects, even commanding the formidable Northern Federation's Sword God under Liuhua Palace's banner, was a testament to the fear Ye Xuan inspired. Their objective was clear: absolute annihilation.

Yet, the outcome was utter failure?

And not just failure, but a complete and utter annihilation!

All the formidable cultivators from the three Sects met their end on Canglang Island!

For a moment, the world seemed to fall into a profound silence, as if time itself had ceased to move.

Liu Qiankun slumped onto the sofa, his expression vacant. Despite the plush comfort of the furniture, it now felt like sharp blades beneath him, offering no sense of security.

"If Ye Xuan's power has reached such an unfathomable level, what if he decides to journey to Yanzi City and eliminate me? Who could possibly stand against him?"

"Who would dare to interfere?"

Though separated by countless miles, Liu Qiankun felt an imminent threat of death, as if he were reliving the horrific events on Canglang Island.

In this vast world, who else could possibly halt Ye Xuan's relentless advance?

"Zhao Xunjian! It must be Zhao Xunjian!"

A sudden tremor ran through Liu Qiankun. He hastily turned to the still-kneeling man in black, his voice quivering with panic. "Quickly, dispatch word to the Zhao Family! Inform Master Zhao Xunjian at once! Hurry!"

...

In truth, Liu Qiankun's desperate message was entirely unnecessary.

The cataclysmic events on Canglang Island had already reverberated throughout the entire Martial Arts world.

The world was left in utter shock!

Across countless Sects and among innumerable lone cultivators, jaws dropped upon hearing the unfolding horrors of Canglang Island, plunging the entire Martial Arts community into an unprecedented state of turmoil.

"It is utterly astonishing. That fabled individual who recently emerged in the mortal realm has actually slain the Northern Federation’s Sword God, eliminated Chen Yue in a single swift move, and then pulverized Zhao Yunhai on the spot, annihilating all from the three prominent Sects present. This..."

"This is surely fabricated; it must be so!"

"Across the millennia of the Martial Arts world, never has there been such a prodigious and ruthless figure. How could Ye Xuan, merely an insignificant ant from the mundane world, possibly achieve this?"

"Where there is smoke, there is indeed fire. If this event is not factual, then from whence did the rumors originate?"

"Who precisely is this Ye Xuan character?"

"..."

In the span of mere hours, Ye Xuan's name had already reverberated throughout the entirety of the Martial Arts world.

Concurrently, the Sect Leaders of Qingcheng Mountain and the Ghost Valley Sect had arrived ahead of schedule at the Zhao family estate to confer with the current Hierarch of the Martial Arts Alliance, Zhao Xunjian.

During the confrontation at Canglang Island, the combined forces of the three major Sects had aimed for victory but not only did they fall short, they were annihilated completely, representing an immense setback for these three powerful factions.

The loss of prestige was a minor concern; it was the forfeiture of their elite cultivators that truly inflicted grievous damage!

Chen Yue held the esteemed position of Great Elder within Qingcheng Mountain, likely second only to Sect Leader Wu Qingzi. The demise of such a paramount expert constituted a severe blow to Qingcheng Mountain.

How could Ghost King Valley not be similarly afflicted?

Huang Yan, the Third Elder of Ghost King Valley, possessed power that invariably placed him among the valley’s top three strongmen. His sudden absence places Ghost King Valley in a predicament no less dire than that of Qingcheng Mountain!

Then there is the matter of the Zhao Family.

Zhao Yunhai, serving as the Second Elder of the Zhao Family, commanded significant standing and authority, with his martial prowess ranking him among the top three within the family. Following this disastrous engagement, the Zhao Family has directly lost an elite cultivator who was once counted among the Martial Arts world's top ten. The cost is indeed steep!

Under the most optimistic scenario, it might take the Zhao Family several decades to nurture another expert capable of breaking into the top ten.

Conversely, in a worst-case situation, with shifts occurring within the Martial Arts world, the rise of new prodigious figures, and the Zhao Family potentially facing peril, insufficient strength could leave them vulnerable to external aggressors. Simply because Zhao Yunhai is no more, and if they are not vigilant, the Zhao Family might tragically echo the fate of the Qin Family, a possibility that cannot be dismissed!

The unprecedentedly severe cost left the three Sect Leaders of the major Sects in a somber silence.

Within the opulent grand hall, an aura of deathly stillness pervaded!

Amidst the profound quietude.

"Hoo—"

Occupying the primary seat, Zhao Xunjian released a heavy exhalation, his brows knitted in concern, and declared, "That youth, Ye Xuan, is indeed exceptional; it is no exaggeration to proclaim him to be heaven-blessed."

"This young man, already possessing such formidable Qi at this tender age, if left to his own devices, will undoubtedly mature into an immense threat!" Qingcheng Mountain’s Sect Leader, Wu Qingzi, stated with grave seriousness, "Alliance Hierarch, we must swiftly move to eradicate this pernicious menace!"

"Brother Wu’s assessment is undeniably accurate!"

Ghost King Valley Master, Feng Yixiu, with a grim countenance, added, "That disciple, Ye Xuan, displays an unnerving anomaly. Today, whispers circulate externally, suggesting he is a survivor from the Divine Doctor Sect; should this prove true, it would spell grave misfortune for our triumvirate of major Sects!"
