Everything was arranged.

Next, let tomorrow's summer willows experience what it means to be truly awe-inspiring.

Let me understand...

Whose summer residence is it, really?

Summer Flower slowly stood up, her exquisite black dress trailing behind her like the king of birds. Though no power was emanating from her, an invisible majesty was revealed.

This caused everyone present to pause slightly, their expressions becoming even more respectful.

She held onto the window with both hands, her beautiful, bright red eyes gazing at the moonlight tinged with a rosy hue.

The moonlight poured down freely, casting a hazy red glow on the massive oak tree, a symbol of summer's wealthy elite, and slowly enveloping it.

Summer Flower's lips curved into a smile as she murmured softly.

"The time has come."

"These decaying old things should have long since left this era, become rubbish in the corners, and faced the fate of being crushed."

"but me……"

"It will set this world ablaze."

Summer Flower looked at the massive oak tree, her beautiful, red-glass eyes burning with black flames, which, reflected in her eyes, resembled the massive oak tree itself, burning fiercely.

The night, bathed in moonlight, was rendered even more crimson, lending the oak tree an ominous air.

Behind the summer floral paintings.

Everyone present knelt on one knee, facing the crimson moon in the sky, their eyes filled with admiration.

................

............

The next day.

The massive, top-tier power of the Summer Zaibatsu was fully mobilized.

Because Xia Yuanliu held the initiative, unlike the Kujo Zaibatsu which was a passive party, he was essentially robbed of his wealth and never fully utilized the power of a top-tier Zaibatsu's fortune.

Xia Yuanliu, on the other hand, spent a lot of extraordinary materials and currency to recruit a large number of hired superhumans from the outside world, and they were at least mid-C level or above.

The various areas surrounding the Summer Palace are poised to act.

Meanwhile, the members of the Pulse Clan were all gathered at the ancestral residence by Xia Yuanliu.

Xia Yuanliu had already made thorough preparations.

He leaned on his cane, looking at the entire entourage of the Summer Mistress and the numerous A-rank beings around him. Even if the gods of Summer Mountain were to arrive in person, Susanoo would not need to unconsciously intervene.

These A-level individuals could easily skin the Xiahuo Mountain God alive.

Beside him, a burly middle-aged man stood with his arms crossed.

He had a head of fluffy purple mane, which was wildly and messily draped over his shoulders. When a breeze blew, the mane seemed to burn like purple flames.

The whites of his eyes were originally pitch black, but his pupils were golden, like flowing lava.

His dark gray, muscular physique was robust, with sharply defined muscles, making him incredibly strong.

Her upper body was covered in wild animal-like scratches, with no clothing covering her, while her lower body was clad in a heavy purple battle skirt.

It is none other than the Mad Bone Ibaraki-Douji!

His eyes were closed, and above him, a purple ghostly eye was watching over every corner of the Summer Manor, surveying everything.

Upon seeing the large number of hired superhumans, his deep voice began to ring out.

"Yuan Liu, you really went all out this time."

"These superhumans have used up at least ten years' worth of resources and currency from the conglomerate. Even I feel heartbroken when I see it. Is Xia Huoshan really that strong?"

"Perhaps it's just a hollow reputation."

"The so-called Lord of Xiahuo Mountain, don't let me slap you to death, hahahahaha."

Unrestrained laughter immediately filled the area.

This drew the attention of those present, including Himeko, Tamamo-no-Mae, Tsukasa, Morinari, and Mei, and a hint of dissatisfaction was revealed deep in her eyes.

Then Xia Yuanliu's aged voice rang out, and he spoke.

"Don't be careless, Ibaraki-doji."

"I once faced the Lord of Xiahuo Mountain. Although the opponent also had the nature of a high-altitude sneak attack, my hasty second-state slash was unable to completely destroy the opponent's attack."

"Furthermore, judging from intelligence from various sources, the Lord of Xiahuo Mountain is very likely to be a peak A-level expert."

Due to the close relationship between the Summer Straight Vein and the Mad Bone lineage, and the fact that Mad Bone Ibaraki-doji has now reached the high stage of A-rank and is in his prime.

In addition, there was the drinking and chatting last night.

Therefore, the two addressed each other by their names, and Xia Yuanliu felt no discomfort.

Upon hearing what Xia Yuanliu said, a look of solemnity appeared in the golden pupils of Mad Bone Ibaraki's dark eyes.

"Oh?"

"A-level peak, huh?"

"That is indeed a bit tricky, but if you, Yuan Liu, unleash your strongest power, you should be able to handle it. With me joining in, it's not impossible to kill the opponent."

"not to mention……"

Mad Bone Ibaraki opened his eyes, his gaze somewhat greedily fixed on the cane in Natsumi Yoriyu's hand, the meaning of which was self-evident.

All of this was reflected in Xia Yuanliu's eyes, and a murderous intent flashed across his face.

It has been more than a decade since I last met Kyokotsu Ibaraki. It seems that Kyokotsu Ibaraki has forgotten some of the fears I suffered from him when I was young.

They also forgot the name "Butcher of Man," which originally resounded within the main residence.

Once the invasion of Xiahuo Mountain is over, Kyokotsu Ibaraki will need to be given a good talking-to, as he actually harbored a greedy thought towards the Summer Zaibatsu's divine weapon.

It seems that being able to address each other by their first names gave the other person a slightly misleading impression.

They held the illusion that the leader of the Mad Bone lineage could truly stand on equal footing with the head of the Natsumi family.

If the other party weren't useful right now, my sword would already be at their neck.

However, we must prioritize the overall situation now.

Xia Yuanliu spoke up.

"Well, did your ghost eyes detect anything unusual around the Natsumi residence?"

Upon hearing this, Kyokotsu Ibaraki closed his eyes again and then shook his head.

"My ghost eye didn't detect any unusual energy fluctuations. So far, it seems that the other party didn't infiltrate the Summer Family Mansion using their abilities."

Hearing Kyokotsu Ibaraki's words, Natsumi Yoriyu nodded.

Kyokotsu Ibaraki's Demon Eyes possess the ability to sense things, and given that his opponent is a high-level A-rank cultivator, his sensory abilities are also very strong.

However, I've heard that the Shindai Imperial Family's Pure White Eyes have even stronger sensory abilities. But Shindai Himeko is ultimately not my subordinate, so I'll avoid using her if possible. The Demon Eyes are barely enough; I'll save them for battle.

However, Xia Huoshan's lack of reaction has puzzled Xia Yuanliu.

Logically speaking, Natsume should have received the news. Instead of mentioning that Natsume Rin told Natsume that she didn't, based on past experience, it seems that there is some communication between the members of Natsume.

Two members of Xiahuoshan were captured, so there was no reason for Xiahuoshan not to come to their rescue.

They are very likely gathered outside the main residence, but Kyokotsu Ibarashi's demon eyes are not yet able to observe the current distance, or perhaps the gods of Xiahuo Mountain intervened and used their divinity to conceal it.

After all, if Natsuhisa enters the Natsuhisa residence through divinity, Susanoo's unconscious divinity will detect it. However, if he uses divinity to conceal himself outside the residence, he certainly cannot be detected by the demon eye alone.

Thinking of this, Xia Yuanliu narrowed his eyes slightly, and a ruthless glint appeared in his light golden pupils.

As expected, we still need to use some radical measures against Xia Huoshan.

"Aquatic life produces scales."

He called out.

"My subordinate is here."

Shui Shenglin walked to Xia Yuanliu's side, bowed slightly, and waited for Xia Yuanliu to give orders.

"Summon two members of the Mizuki clan to bring out Natsume Hanae and Chikari Makoto."

Xia Riyuanliu continued.

Upon hearing this, Shui Shenglin's eyes darkened, but he still answered immediately.

"Yes, my lord."

Shui Shenglin pointed at two members of the Shui Sheng lineage and nimbly headed towards the room where Xia Rihua and Qian Shouzhen were imprisoned.

Chikari Makoto and Natsuhi Hanae, suppressed by Natsuhi Yoruichi's murderous intent, are now unable to use even a fraction of their abilities, and could be subdued even by a C-level esper.

Before long, Natsumi Hanae and Chikari Makoto were taken by Mizuki Rin to a spot not far from Natsumi Yoriyuki.

Xia Yuanliu didn't even turn her head and immediately spoke.

"Stop."
