The night was as dark as ink, blanketing the Provincial Capital with an oppressive atmosphere that seemed ready to swallow everything whole. Inside the Sun family estate, the reek of blood hung heavy in the air, a pungent stench that sent chills down the spine.

Cries of agony and desperate screams intertwined, sounding exceptionally shrill in the silent night. Every single shriek made one's hair stand on end. Those once-arrogant martial artists were now like lambs to the slaughter before the overwhelming strength of the Ghost Guards, utterly powerless to fight back.

They knew all too well that the gap in strength was insurmountable; Gui Yi alone, a powerhouse of the Martial Emperor Realm, could completely crush everyone present, to say nothing of Qin Yuanfeng, their leader, who hadn't even made a move yet. Having not a sliver of a chance of winning, the two men helplessly gave up resisting.
