The so-called Ban Order is essentially a form of surveillance.

If the Ban Order is issued, it means the entire Ye Family is under surveillance.

From the moment the order is given, the Ye Family's core members can no longer communicate with the outside world, nor can they leave the Ye Mansion.

This is equivalent to putting the entire Ye Family under house arrest.

Only the Heavenly King Sea has the authority to issue such a command.

This time, the Ye Family is truly in deep trouble.

If not handled properly, it might end up like the great purge decades ago, where the Ye Family vanished overnight.

At this moment, Ye Mengyun and Ye Mengmin were pale-faced.

They finally understood why the old master reacted this way.

...

Meanwhile.

At the Kyoto Martial Pavilion Headquarters.

In the dead of night, Xiao Ce returned to the Martial Pavilion burning with anger.

Upon entering the Martial Pavilion gate, Xiao Ce roared and punched the massive stone at the entrance engraved with the words 'Martial Pavilion'.

Boom!

A loud explosion was heard.

The eighteen-meter-high stone, a landmark symbol of the Pavilion's highest honor, was shattered by Xiao Ce's punch.

This enormous sound instantly alarmed all the Pavilion's experts.

Everyone, thinking someone was breaking into the Pavilion, charged out ready to fight.

However, upon emerging, they discovered it was their Pavilion Master who had destroyed the entrance stone.

Moreover, it was evident to all that Xiao Ce was angrier than ever.

For a moment, everyone was at a loss.

Moments later, several senior figures from the Pavilion Headquarters appeared as well.

One of them approached Xiao Ce cautiously and asked:

"Old Xiao, what's going on?"

"Why are you so furious?"

Xiao Ce's face was extremely grim as he said:

"You all know about the situation in Hu City, right?"

"Of course."

The person nodded.

"That Zhou Yu kid is quite impressive; he's turned Hu City upside down and revitalized the Hu City Martial Pavilion's prestige, completely reversing the situation there."

"In my opinion, the opportunity for our Pavilion to rise again has come."

Xiao Ce shouted angrily:

"No longer."

"There's no longer any opportunity for a resurgence."

"What… do you mean?" they asked in confusion.

"Because of this matter, it has touched some nerves in the Heavenly King Sea and they have ordered a comprehensive investigation of the Pavilion," Xiao Ce yelled.

Hearing this, everyone displayed a look of shock.

"A comprehensive investigation of the Pavilion?"

"What does comprehensive mean?"

The person asked in furious astonishment.

"They want to suppress our Pavilion and purge dissent, don't they?"

"These people, they have no shame."

"How could they do such a thing?"

Xiao Ce angrily replied:

"But that's exactly what they are doing."

"And they're moving very quickly."

"The official documents will likely be issued tomorrow."

"So what do we do now?" The senior members of the Pavilion gathered around, anxiously watching Xiao Ce.

It was a critical moment of life and death.

Now, facing the crisis of being purged, the Pavilion had no one but Xiao Ce to rely on.

Xiao Ce surveyed the Pavilion members around him, his eyes flashed with determination.

"We absolutely cannot sit and wait to be killed."

"Since they've already decided to cleanse the Pavilion."

"Instead of waiting for death, it's better to break up and go underground."

"Break up and go underground?"

"What does that mean?"

Someone asked urgently.

Xiao Ce clenched his fist and said:

"Secretly notify the Martial Pavilions of all states, tonight the Pavilion will dissolve itself."

"Everyone should temporarily go underground, and starting tomorrow, no activities should be conducted in the name of the Pavilion."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Disband the Martial Pavilion?

Such a major event to be resolved overnight.

How is that possible?

Not to mention, many people couldn't even accept it psychologically.

Xiao Ce closed his eyes and said:

"I know many of you can't accept it."

"But this is a temporary measure."

"It's the only way for now."

"As for whether the Martial Pavilions in the states will comply, that's up to them."

"Alright, go and get it done."

With that said, Xiao Ce despondently walked back to his office.

The others looked at each other, finally showing expressions of sorrow and anger.

Just today, when news of the Hu City Martial Pavilion suppressing all top forces and reshaping the Hu City landscape arrived, the Kyoto Martial Pavilion Headquarters was in jubilation.

They all thought this was the Pavilion's rise.

Unexpectedly, changes came so quickly.

In less than a day, the Pavilion was facing dissolution.

This truly is the unpredictability of fortune and disaster.

After a wave of grief and anger, the others had no choice but to follow Xiao Ce's orders and communicate to the states.

...

At the Hu City Martial Pavilion.

After returning from the Tianyu Commerce Chamber, Zhou Yu immediately saw Yun Feifei.

More than half a month had passed without seeing her, and Yun Feifei was visibly thinner.

Seeing such tremendous change in Yun Feifei, Zhou Yu felt an inexplicable pain in his heart.

But Yun Feifei, upon seeing Zhou Yu, was delighted, rushed over, and hugged him.

Feeling Yun Feifei's warm body, Zhou Yu suppressed the urge in his heart and asked:

"Sister Yun, are you okay?"

"I'm fine!" Yun Feifei said, blushing.

"I just missed you a lot."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu tightened his grip on Yun Feifei's delicate body.

After embracing for a moment, Zhou Yu released her, preparing to inquire about what happened after Yun Feifei was taken away.

But before he could speak, the sound of a door breaking was heard.

Immediately, Lin Yinfly and others rushed in with panic on their faces.

Zhou Yu frowned.

Lin Yinfly and his group were always calm, so what was going on today?

"What's the matter, why so panicked?" Zhou Yu asked.

Lin Yinfly said tremblingly:

"Minister, something happened."

"We just received news from Headquarters that Pavilion Master Xiao ordered all Martial Pavilions to disband themselves…"
