"Arrogant brat, today I'll let you see the true might of the Ye family!"
"What are you all staring at for? Subdue this abomination at once!"
The Ye Family Ancestor roared, waving his hand to signal the clan elders behind him to strike.
Instantly, a group of Ye family elders began to circulate their cultivation, their Yuan Qi surging. Various spiritual techniques and magical treasures were unleashed simultaneously, attacking Ye Tianxuan.
"Xuan'er!"
Li Wanqing had already damaged her foundation, and seeing her son surrounded and attacked by the clan elders, she felt a rush of grief and anger pierce her heart.
Although the Ye family could not compare to the Li family in power and influence, the several clan elders present all possessed strengths approaching the God Platform Realm, and one of them even possessed a Wood Spiritual Root, having mastered the supreme secret arts of the Ye family!
"Sister-in-law, the elder with the Wood Spiritual Root certainly won't pull his punches. As you know, the elder possesses the Ye family's ultimate arts, and his Azure Wood Divine Palm in particular has reached perfection."
"Given the current situation, you really should advise Tianxuan to hand over his cultivation technique to avoid suffering physical torment."
Ye Zhengwen looked on coldly with a sneer, his triumphant expression as though he had already witnessed Ye Tianxuan and his mother being severely punished by the Ye Family Ancestor.
Hearing this, Ye Tianxuan raised an eyebrow. Naturally, he had heard of this ultimate technique.
The Azure Wood Divine Palm was one of the most powerful martial skills of the Ye family, and its destructive power was astonishing.
"Arrogant brat! How dare you let your mind wander while fighting me? Truly an ignorant child lacking any upbringing!"
"Today, I'll teach you a proper lesson on behalf of Tianba and Li Wanqing!"
"You're not worthy!"
Having just arrived at the Ye family, this was the first time Ye Tianxuan had felt the warmth of family care.
For the opposing clan elder to say such words was undoubtedly dancing on the edge of death by relentlessly trampling upon Ye Tianxuan's bottom line.
The next moment, the leading elder attacking Ye Tianxuan forcefully thrust both palms forward, and a massive azure palm print whistled toward Ye Tianxuan.
Wherever the palm print passed, the space itself seemed to be torn apart.
A Wood Spiritual Root indeed?
What a coincidence.
Facing these attacks, Ye Tianxuan showed not a trace of panic. With a flick of his wrist, deep blue Karmic Fire blazed furiously within his palm.
"Just in time to use you all to test the Karmic Fire I've recently integrated into my flesh."
Ye Tianxuan waved his hand, and the deep blue Karmic Fire instantly swallowed the palm print whole.
Before the might of the Karmic Fire, that palm print was as fragile and worthless as paper.
With a deafening "bang!", the body of the elder with the Wood Spiritual Root was instantly sent flying like a broken kite, crashing heavily into a grave mound.
A mouthful of fresh blood gushed out, and it was clear he had sustained severe injuries.
"Elder!"
The members of the Ye family turned pale with shock, crying out in alarm.
They never expected Ye Tianxuan to be so powerful that even the Ye family's Wood Spiritual Root elder was no match for him in a single exchange.
"Don't be surprised, it's not over yet."
With a light shout from Ye Tianxuan, the Karmic Fire instantly transformed into a Fire Dragon, charging toward the remaining clan elders.
Wherever the Fire Dragon passed, a sea of flames spread. Those Ye family elders and servants shrieked miserably one after another, swallowed entirely by the blazing inferno.
In the single instant his foot stepped onto empty air, Ye Tianxuan appeared right in front of the Wood Spiritual Root elder. With a gentle wave of his hand, the Karmic Fire turned into a whip of fire, fiercely lashing across the elder's body.
"Ah!!!"
The Wood Spiritual Root elder emitted a piercing scream. His body was instantly engulfed by the Karmic Fire, and he thrashed and struggled amidst the sea of fire.
No matter how hard he tried, he could not extinguish the Karmic Fire clinging to him.
In the end, under Ye Tianxuan's cold and indifferent gaze, he was reduced to a pile of ashes.
"Of all things, you should never, ever have slandered my parents!"
The licking tongues of fire instantly enveloped the Ye Estate, swallowing even Ye Tianxuan's soft words, yet every single syllable was heard clearly by Li Wanqing, who had already reached the Bone Tempering Realm. Her eyes instantly grew moist.
"Xuan'er..."
"Ye Tianxuan! Have you lost your mind? Do you have any idea what the consequences of doing this are?"
Ye Zhengwen roared loudly.
Inside the Ye Estate, fire lit up the skies and thick smoke billowed.
Ye Tianxuan stood amid the sea of fire, the Karmic Fire burning fiercely as it reduced the surrounding buildings to ashes.
His gaze was cold and piercing, as if he were the supreme sovereign of this blazing hell, holding absolute power over life and death.
The members of the Ye family fled in all directions, but the fire spread too fast; many were engulfed by the flames, uttering miserable shrieks.
Although the Ye Family Ancestor and the remaining elders possessed profound cultivation, they appeared entirely helpless before Ye Tianxuan's Karmic Fire.
An elder with a Wind Spiritual Root rushed out from the crowd, attempting to use wind-type spells to extinguish the Karmic Fire. Gusts of violent wind collided with the Fire Dragon, but the Karmic Fire seemed to possess a life of its own, burning ever brighter and swallowing the fierce winds completely in the blink of an eye.
"This... How is this possible!"
The Wind Elder was filled with terror, never expecting the flames wielded by Ye Tianxuan to be so formidable that even his wind-type ultimate arts could not hold them back.
Just as the Fire Dragon was about to swallow him, the Wind Elder exerted every ounce of his strength, flashing away to narrowly dodge the attack.
"Trying to put out the fire?" Ye Tianxuan sneered. "Don't bother with these futile struggles, it's useless."
Taking advantage of the remaining momentum of the Karmic Fire, the Ye Estate was turned into a complete sea of flames.
"Mother, let's go!"
With a movement of his body, Ye Tianxuan instantly appeared beside Li Wanqing, grabbed her hand, and rushed toward the gates of the estate.
However, before the two of them had gone far, a figure suddenly burst out from the crowd and blocked their path.
"Ye Tianxuan, don't even think about leaving!"
"People from the Wang family?"
Li Wanqing furrowed her delicate brows, stepping forward to instinctively shield Ye Tianxuan behind her.
"Do you know whose path you're blocking? Step aside immediately, and I might let this go unpunished."
"Heh, one is a young miss driven out of the Li family doors and the targeted primary madam of the Ye family; the other is a disgraced scion unrecognized by the Li family, the most lowly legitimate son hunted down by the Ye family. What on earth do I have to be afraid of?"
"You harmed the direct descendants of the Wang family—did you think you could just walk away without giving an account? The Ye family couldn't keep your lives, but we certainly didn't agree to let you leave!"
A group of cultivators from the Wang family surrounded them tightly.
"Your Wang family really is like a persistent ghost."
Ye Tianxuan smiled coldly, showing not the slightest bit of fear.
"If you know what's good for you, surrender immediately and come back to the Wang family to face your punishment!"
The leading Wang family expert shouted sternly, killing intent flashing in his eyes. With a wave of his hand, several Wang family cultivators charged toward Ye Tianxuan and Li Wanqing.
Ye Tianxuan sneered and waved his hand, creating a barrier of Karmic Fire that blocked them outside.
"You want to keep me here? You didn't even check if you had the strength for it."
On the roof of the Ye Estate, a young girl watched the whole scene unfold at her leisure, two tongues of fire burning brightly within her lively eyes.
"Not bad, not bad. Quite an outstanding fellow!"
"The Blood Wheel Realm is ultimately just the Blood Wheel Realm. In the face of absolute strength, everything is futile!"
The leading Wang family expert formed a hand seal with one hand, fiercely unleashing a punch that shook the void, instantly cleaving a path straight through the tongues of fire.
It was actually the...
Late God Platform Realm!
"Will you surrender or not?"
Right at that moment, a crisp voice suddenly rang out from the roof.
Everyone raised their heads to look, only to see a young girl dressed in white standing atop the roof, holding a long sword and gazing steadily at the crowd below.
