Chen Yuxin attempts to flee the Zheng Family camp but is pursued, ultimately escaping with Ye Shikai's help. Upon returning to the Chen Family camp, she finds it in chaos and under attack. Following an evacuation, the Chen family is ambushed by the Wang Family, only for Ye Shikai to intervene and allow Chen Yuxin to escape, promising to stand with her.

Although Chen Yuxin made many mistakes and caused numerous irreversible consequences, she is, after all, Ye Shikai’s wife and Ye Yi’s mother. Just for that reason alone, Ye Shikai will certainly save her. As for how this “battle” will end, let’s leave that to the Zheng family. Thanks to this battle, Zheng Li has become the first major family in Huaxia. Although the Zheng family has suffered thousands of casualties, it was worthwhile.

The Chen family has been utterly defeated this time. Although they weren’t completely wiped out, between the synthetic poison insects and the mutants, the Chen family is destined never to stand firm in Huaxia again. Chen Yuxin took a huge risk this time, and if not for everyone’s combined efforts to stop it, the consequences would have been unimaginable. It wouldn’t just be a dispute between families. Take those mutants, for instance—if an antidote hadn’t been developed, it would eventually be a significant hidden threat.

“What I’m trying to save is her, not the Chen family. Where is she now?” Ye Shikai asked in return.

“We haven’t found out; the Chen family evacuated very quickly, probably afraid of being pursued,” Nightmare replied.

“Then I understand, she must have returned to Yanjing. Okay, let’s hurry up and leave too.”

“Sir, if those families go to Yanjing to retaliate against the Chen family, what should we do? Help or not?” Nightmare asked curiously.

“Don’t worry, I’ve already talked to Zheng Li about these matters. I will handle the Chen family’s affairs. Whoever wants to profit from other people’s misfortune shouldn’t even think about it.”

There are quite a few members of the Netherworld Palace, and they can’t all return to Yanjing immediately. However, Ye Shikai didn’t plan to bring everyone along, only Nightmare, Ghost, and a few others, while the rest were instructed to wait where they were.

Two hours later.

“Sir, we can’t go back to Yanjing.” Just as everyone was preparing to leave, Nightmare suddenly came over to report.

“Why.”

“We just received intelligence; the Netherworld Empress… she didn’t lead the team back to Yanjing.”

“What do you mean, she didn’t go back to Yanjing? Where did she go? Could it be she’s still in the East Sea?” Ye Shikai was a bit shocked when he heard this. The Chen family’s trump cards have all been lost, and the families attached to the Chen family have all defected, leaving the Chen family with heavy losses. The East Sea is the sphere of influence of the Zheng family; if Chen Yuxin stays, she’s just waiting for death.

“That’s right, she’s still in the East Sea.”

“Where in the East Sea? Point it out on the map.” Ye Shikai asked anxiously.

“Right here.” Nightmare pointed it out on the map. It was a large factory, located discreetly; although it’s not officially part of the Chen family, that’s just a cover.

“What’s she doing there?” Ye Shikai’s brain kept churning over possibilities. This is a critical moment; a place where Chen Yuxin would personally go must be extremely important.

“Sir, the reason the Chen family could release so many mutants in the East Sea without being discovered by the Zheng family must be because there’s a base. I suspect this factory is the base for the HST project. Although Jin Li has already developed the antidote, that warehouse is bound to have a large number of mutants,” Nightmare analyzed.

“You make a good point.” Ye Shikai compared the map. According to the information on it, the factory is located very close to the East Sea’s residential area. Ye Shikai felt an ominous premonition.

“Nightmare, notify everyone to go to this factory with me.”

“Sir, we can’t do it now, many people are outside, not at the camp.”

“Then take the Hidden Guard and let’s set off immediately.”

“But currently, we only have around a hundred Hidden Guard; if we go just like this, I’m afraid…”

“Alright, enough talk, set off immediately.”

“Understood.”

……………

Factory.

“Intruders.”

“Cover me,” Ye Shikai ordered. Nightmare, Soul Destroyer, and others fought desperately to break through a bloody path. The Chen family members were indeed all here. Although they lost heavily in the previous battle, there were still one to two thousand men, while Ye Shikai’s Hidden Guard was down to only around a hundred. Breaking in alone was like walking into a lion’s den.

Led by Ye Shikai, they fought their way in and soon broke into the interior of the factory. There were many instruments inside, but they didn’t see any trace of the mutants.

“Xin, you are really here.” Ye Shikai looked up to see Chen Yuxin standing above, surrounded by personnel carrying firearms, all aimed at the Hidden Guard.

“Kai, you shouldn’t have come here,” Chen Yuxin murmured.

“Stop this now, Xin, it’s not too late,” Ye Shikai continued to persuade, worried that Chen Yuxin might do something foolish. Although they haven’t found any mutants yet, such a large factory likely houses thousands, and Jin Li can’t bring people here in time.

“Do it,” ordered Chen Yuxin, and Feng Ling and Xue Ming immediately brought people over.

“Nightmare, Soul Destroyer, help hold them off; I’m going to find her.”

“Don’t worry, Boss, leave these people to us, you chase after her.”

“Alright, I’m counting on you.”

The Hidden Guard were all battle-hardened, resisting desperately, while Ye Shikai used his movement technique to bypass the Chen family’s guards and caught up with Chen Yuxin.

“Xin, stop,” Ye Shikai shouted.

“Kai, why did you come here?” Chen Yuxin suddenly cried out emotionally.

“Nonsense, I’m obviously here to save you.” Ye Shikai carefully surveyed the surroundings, noticing many iron boxes the size of coffins. If he guessed correctly, they contained mutants. They’re located just tens of kilometers from the East Sea’s residential area, and if released, the consequences…

“Xin, calm down…”

“Don’t come any closer,” Chen Yuxin shouted, causing Ye Shikai to halt quickly. She held a controller in her hands, likely… the switch for this place.

“Xin, calm down for a moment. Whatever happens, we can discuss it properly.” Ye Shikai also realized that this controller should be the switch to activate the mutants. Once pressed, all mutants here would be unleashed. Just outside is the residential area, and relying solely on the Hidden Guard would not be nearly sufficient to seal the factory.

“Kai, we can’t go back anymore; this is my last chance. If I give up, the Chen family will die at my hands.”

“Even so, I’ll stay by your side. With me around, the Chen family can fall, but you’ll be alright. Xin, give me the controller. Even if it’s impossible to stay in the country, we can leave this place.” Ye Shikai still tried to persuade her, urging her not to act impulsively.

“If these mutants are really released, then that’ll be the true end of the Chen family,” Ye Shikai yelled.
