"The Shi Family!" Several ancient war immortals were shaken, thinking of that splendid family.

Once, the Shi Family was unmatched in its splendor, with ten Great Venerables of the Other Shore within its ranks, and even saints were unwilling to oppose them. At its peak, the Shi Family even overshadowed the imperial family, subtly becoming the foremost family!

But the stronger the Shi Family became, the more they courted disaster!

The Shi Family wanted to overthrow Huaxia, change dynasties, and crown themselves as emperors, but that's when the tragedy occurred.

Huaxia had an invincible Guardian God—who it was and how powerful they were, nobody knew.

But, all ten of the Great Venerable experts of the Shi Family were slaughtered by the Guardian God, not one survived.

Eventually, the small world where the Shi Family had hidden themselves was blown apart by a missile from Huaxia, and the illustrious family met its end.

Thereafter, the ancient families behaved themselves, all of them frightened.

The hidden power of Huaxia was too formidable; even if the ancient families were exceptional, they could never compare to the nation itself!

"The Shi Family's splendor is undeniable, but Huaxia is even stronger!" Yun Zheyue said. "The Shi Family's delusions of shaking the foundation of Huaxia led to their annihilation!"

"You must all measure yourselves well and not bring calamity upon your families, otherwise even the direct intervention of the Great Venerable won't help!" The depths of Huaxia's strength were unknown to anyone, but Yun Zheyue knew, and thus she dared to look down on the ancient families!

With Yun Zheyue's intimidating words, all the ancient families felt a heavy seriousness in their hearts, accompanied by a barely articulable pressure.

"All right, I've said all I needed to say; from now on, behave yourselves and abide by the rules. Now, get out!" Yun Zheyue said indifferently.

"We take our leave!" The people from the ancient families felt relieved and quickly made to put as much distance as possible, but someone stood in their way.

"You can leave, but the beauty must stay!" Ye Chen blocked their path, pointing at Bing Yun.

"No, Bing Yun is the pearl of our clan, we can't leave her here!" A formidable war celestial stood up—he was an old man with white hair and beard, from the He family. "Let Bing Yun leave, I will stay instead!"

"Old man, your eyebrows are already white, a decrepit old man, what use would you be staying?" Ye Chen said. "I want a beauty who can join me beneath the flowers under the moon, to spend wonderful nights together. Do you understand?"

The intention of Ye Chen was clear, he enjoyed menacing beauties and had no interest in an old man.

"Shameless youth!" The formidable war celestial's eyebrows twitched, shaking with rage, his old hands trembling.

"All right, that settles it," Ye Chen said. "I'll take the beauty, now hurry off."

Ye Chen opened his hands wide and firmly grasped Bing Yun, in a clear act of forceful abduction.

"Bastard, let me go!" Bing Yun's pretty face turned cold as she tried to break free from Ye Chen's grip.

"Haha, I won't let go!" Ye Chen laughed.

Ye Chen was now like a bandit, abducting a village maiden to take as his brigand bride, which greatly provoked the He family.

"Where are the men of the Murong Family!" the strongest war celestial of the He family bellowed. "Bing Yun is not only the pearl of our clan but also the betrothed daughter-in-law of the Murong Family. Now that she is being forcibly taken by this villain, does the Murong Family wish to stand by and do nothing?"

The strongest war celestial of the He family had some wisdom, knowing Ye Chen was very formidable, thus wanted to form an alliance against a common foe.

"He, my brothers and I are willing but powerless!" the strongest war celestial of the Murong Family said with a wry smile.

This strongest war celestial had clashed with Ye Chen repeatedly and had been sent flying, spitting blood after each encounter. He well knew the terrifying combat strength of Ye Chen, who could only be matched by the strongest successors, let alone surpassed.

But even if the strongest successor were to arrive, he would likely only be evenly matched with Ye Chen!

To suppress Ye Chen, it would require the intervention of the Great Venerable of the Other Shore!

However, speaking of which, there was a thorny issue — Ye Chen had a Saint as his ancestor!

They couldn't beat him, and their backers weren't as powerful as his, so this matter was quite challenging.

"Bing Yun, wait here for me. I'll go back and bring reinforcements. I'll be able to rescue you soon. You must hang in there!"

In the end, the strongest war immortal of the He family left behind an unreliable statement and took off to get help.

"Sis-in-law, wait for me!" Murong Changtian howled. "Once I heal my arms and legs, I'll definitely come to rescue you!"

"Useless!" He Bingyun said in a low voice as she watched Murong Changtian.

The Murong Family also left disgracefully. Ye Chen's violence had affected many deeply, leaving them with psychological scars. Therefore, they didn't even dare to claim the brides they hadn't yet married.

The Lin Family and the Xue Family also fled with their tails between their legs. The enemy's strength was beyond imagination. Even if they wanted to regain their honor, they needed to heal first and then bring reinforcements.

Ye Chen and Zhao Yue were not to be messed with; Ye Chen supposedly had a Saint backing him, and Zhao Yue was the spokesperson of Huaxia. Even if the four great families wanted to regain their honor, they had to calculate carefully.

"Guys, come over. Let's discuss something!" After the four great families left one by one, Ye Chen looked around at the various Family Heads with a cheeky grin.

These Family Heads were all leaders of powerful families in the capital, wielding immense power. In the eyes of ordinary people, they were significant figures at the top of the food chain!

But in Ye Chen's eyes, they were as weak as chicks.

"Heh, Ye, Ye, Ye Chen," a group of Family Heads forced a smile, their wide grins uglier than tears.

Actually, these Family Heads wanted to cry but really dared not, because they were afraid their crying faces would look too ugly. If Ye Chen saw them and got upset, they might be smashed into a pile of dumpling filling. So they all held back.

"Don't call me grandpa. Do I look that old?" Ye Chen was somewhat displeased. These people, even if they wanted to curry favor with him, didn't have to call him grandpa.

"..."

The hearts of the Family Heads tightened, and they felt bitterness in their mouths, sensing the consequences of their actions.

They all wanted to cling to the legs of the ancient prestigious families, not realizing that even before they could secure a firm grip, those legs would be broken by someone.

The four great families ran away with their tails between their legs and abandoned them, these chess pieces, leading to their inevitable misery.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you. I wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken, so how could I kill people?" Ye Chen said to the Family Heads with a harmless smile.

"..."

The Family Heads glanced at the puddles of blood beneath their feet and the piles of human dumpling filling, feeling somewhat contemptuous of Ye Chen's feigned innocence.

They had witnessed Ye Chen's ferocity and knew that behind his jocular exterior was a brutal emperor!

"Young Master Ye, for what reason have you kept us here?" a Family Head asked courageously.

They had offended Ye Chen, and Ye Chen had killed some people.

However, Ye Chen now curbed his killing intent and showed no intention of making another move, so the Family Heads felt safe enough to breathe heavily.

"I don't really have an order, but there is a small favor I'd like to ask for your help with!" Ye Chen said.

"What is it?"

"In three days, I'm going to the Su Family to ask for a marriage proposal. I hope you all can help make a grand scene!"
