Following that thrilling and heart-stopping final showdown, the Ye Family suffered a catastrophic blow. Once immensely prominent and all-powerful in the Capital, the Ye Family was now reduced to nothing but crumbling ruins and boundless desolation.
News of the Ye Family's defeat swept across the Capital like a fierce gale, creating monstrous shockwaves wherever it went. The various factions that had once fawned upon and ingratiated themselves with the Ye Family now treated them like a plague, scrambling to kick them while they were down and desperately drawing a clear line between themselves, terrified of being implicated by the fallout of the defeat.
The Alliance formed by the Lin Family, the Imperial Family, and Tianyuan Sacred Land began a ruthless and unfeeling liquidation of the Ye Family in the posture of victors. Overnight, the greater part of the Ye Family's once-envied properties was carved up and stripped bare. Bustling shops were forcibly taken over, fertile and vast farmlands changed hands, and mineral mines rich in resources acquired new masters. The commercial supremacy that the Ye Family had painstakingly built over many years collapsed in an instant like a castle on the sand beneath a surging tide, and their mountain of wealth vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye, like mist scattered by the wind.
