Chen Yuxin makes harsh demands on the Zheng family during negotiations, but Zheng Li refuses. Ye Shikai pulls Chen Yuxin aside, questioning her aggressive stance. Just as Chen Yuxin issues an ultimatum, Ye Shikai reveals that the Chen family's mutant trump card has been neutralized by a new serum. Chen Yuxin is devastated and enraged, but when she orders an attack, the Zheng family retaliates, and Ye Shikai intervenes, leading Chen Yuxin to believe he has betrayed her.

“Enough, do you think setting up the Banquet here will make me compromise?” Chen Yuxin was very agitated now, not listening to Ye Shikai at all, only thinking about leaving this place. She herself was a very powerful cultivator, and the Chunjun Sword was a Supreme Divine Weapon. She quickly repelled the guards of the Zheng Family, but soon, more people rushed in. Zheng Li had long been prepared. No matter how strong Chen Yuxin was, it was impossible to withstand such a continuous attack from so many people and could only retreat quickly from here.

Ye Shikai also stepped forward, repelling those Zheng Family guards. What he wanted was to stop Chen Yuxin, not harm her life. Now Chen Yuxin was very agitated, Ye Shikai was worried that there might be an accident.

Taking advantage of Ye Shikai’s action to block the Zheng Family guards, Chen Yuxin wielded her sword and charged out of the camp, joining with the members from the Shadow Organization outside, and together they broke out of the Zheng Family camp. But Zheng Li had already made arrangements, gathering the experts from various families here to hunt Chen Yuxin, so of course they had the best manpower prepared. Even though the Shadow Organization had four leaders, they were still struggling. Ultimately, with Ye Shikai’s help, they managed to escape.

“Feng Ling, what on earth is happening?” Chen Yuxin, who had just left the Zheng Family camp, shouted furiously. Zheng Li was right, the camp’s signals were blocked, and she hadn’t received any information about being attacked, and now, she knew nothing about the Chen Family camp’s message. Her anxiety made her even more frantic.

“Wait.” Suddenly, Ye Shikai darted to the front of the team, blocking everyone’s way.

“Xin, wait a moment.”

“Kai, get out of my way.” Chen Yuxin was very agitated, pointing the Chunjun at Ye Shikai. Perhaps in her eyes, Ye Shikai was a “betrayer”. She even attributed the current dire situation to Ye Shikai, thinking he set the scheme and deliberately delayed time, allowing Jin Li to completely destroy the mutant army, which was the Chen family’s trump card. Additionally, the synthetic poison insects were rendered useless due to the inducing agent, in other words, Chen family no longer had any threatening moves. Coupled with the previous agreement with Li Changtian, once Jin Li dealt with those mutants, Li Changtian would deliver a treacherous blow. Furthermore, the Tang Family and Gongsun Family had already suffered great losses and had no resistance power. Chen family’s defeat was inevitable.

“Xin, at this point, aren’t you planning to let go?” Ye Shikai continued, “Failure is already destined; give it up. I’ll bear all the consequences with you. As long as you stop all this, whether those families seek revenge or pursue you afterward, I’ll handle it.”

“No, I won’t accept that, I haven’t lost yet.” Chen Yuxin shook her head; she obviously didn’t want to accept this reality.

“Feng Ling, go.” With Chen Yuxin’s command, Feng Ling and others stepped forward to surround Ye Shikai. Chen Yuxin then led the others to continue forward; she needed to return to the camp quickly.

……………………………

Chen Family Camp.

“What’s the situation now?” Chen Yuxin led the guards back to the camp, but it had already turned into a battlefield. Li Changtian was fiercely attacking the camp guards, while those from Tang Family and Gongsun Family had vanished somewhere. As for the Wang Family, it was nowhere to be found. Now the Chen family had turned into a scattered mess, and with the Wang Family’s ambition, it was impossible to expect them to help at this crucial moment.

“Family Head, it’s not good; Zheng Family suddenly attacked our camp, and those mutants… all the mutants are gone.”

“Damn it, everyone, evacuate immediately.” Seeing the situation, Chen Yuxin maintained her composure. If they didn’t leave now, it would be too late.

“Yes.”

“Yes.”

The mutants had all been wiped out by Jin Li’s men; the Chen family suffered heavy losses, many experts fell, and they could only evacuate East Sea quickly. She worried that the Zheng Family might come to chase, but actually, they did not pursue, which was, of course, also Ye Shikai’s arrangement.

But just because Zheng Family didn’t chase, it doesn’t mean they’re safe.

“Mr. Chen, what a surprise, I’d be waiting for you here.” Wang Qian and Wang family members had already blocked Chen family’s retreat path, and Chen Yuxin was attacked as soon as she arrived.

“Wang Qian, what do you mean by this?” Chen Yuxin was furious; she didn’t expect Wang Family to turn traitor at this moment, delivering a treacherous blow, truly kicking someone when they’re down.

“You were so arrogant before, and now, you’re powerless?”

“What, do you want a war?” Chen Yuxin said coldly. She was ready to fight, but now Chen family suffered heavy losses, fighting Wang Family here would be exhausting.

“Stop.” At this moment, a voice came from afar; Ye Shikai rushed to the middle of both sides.

“I dare anyone to move her.” Ye Shikai shouted, the Netherworld Blade in his hand, the Nightmare and Ghost leading the Netherworld Palace people had also arrived.

“So it’s Mr. Ye; I didn’t expect you’d be dealing with her a few days ago, and now you’re helping her.” Seeing Ye Shikai, Wang Qian felt a chill; she was very aware of Ye Shikai’s power; calling him a Demon King wouldn’t be an exaggeration. Though Netherworld Palace didn’t have many people, each was battle-hardened, one could fight ten.

“I’ll return those words to you; you fair-weather friends should’ve been eliminated long ago. Today, I dare anyone to move her.” Ye Shikai waved his hand, and the Hidden Guard was fully armed. Wang Qian didn’t want to miss this opportunity, today they had already “torn the face,” if they couldn’t eliminate Chen Yuxin now, they would definitely face Chen family’s revenge in the future, and Ye Shikai’s retaliation too.

“Go.”

“Xin, hurry and leave; I’ll hold them back.” Ye Shikai turned his head and said, “Remember, no matter what happens, I’ll stand with you.”

“Follow me.”

……………………………

Late night.

Wang Family was repelled by Netherworld Palace, but they also lost many people. Ye Shikai led the Netherworld Palace people back to the Zheng Family camp, though they lost many, their morale was naturally low, yet comparatively, Zheng Family was celebrating. Chen Yuxin was completely defeated; this loss was enough to shake the foundation of Chen family, even its survival was uncertain. Through this battle, Zheng Family, although paid a hefty price, gained much more. Firstly, survival was secured; secondly, Chen family was defeated, and it was crushed by Zheng Family. Thus, Zheng Family also won the prestige of the Huaxia cultivation world, and through this battle, Zheng Li was enough to vie for the position of “Alliance Hierarch”.

“Master, I’m a bit confused, why… why did you choose to help the Chen family escape, is it only because of the Netherworld Empress?” Nightmare suddenly asked.

“Of course, only because of her.”
