Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Before we knew it, the end of the month had arrived.

The day of Ye Ge and Long Ying's wedding!

On this day, the entire Night City was decorated with festive cheer and lanterns, as everyone in the city knew that the young patriarch of the Night family was about to marry the Ninth Princess of the Empire!

The Ye family's reception room was transformed into a wedding hall. Magic stones covered the floor, soul crystals served as chandeliers, and various beautiful and rare treasures hung from the ceiling. It was extremely luxurious, leaving the visiting guests speechless. Even the palaces of royalty were probably no more magnificent than this!

Numerous nobles, guild leaders, company executives, elders and high-ranking officials from all over the empire, as well as many important ministers of the empire, were invited to Night City in the Southern Territory to participate in the wedding of Night Song and Dragon Ying.

Ye Quan stood happily and beaming among his old friends, receiving blessings from relatives and friends.

As the last pillar of the Ye family, the old man was naturally aware of Ye Ge's plan.

After catching up with his old friends, Ye Ge, dressed as a newlywed, quietly walked behind his grandfather.

"I'm sorry, Grandpa," Ye Ge said softly, "I broke the promise you made to the late Emperor."

"Hehe, have you forgotten what I told you back then?" Ye Quan squinted, stroked his beard, and chuckled. "That was, after all, just an agreement between me and the late emperor, and it has nothing to do with you. Besides, the late emperor asked me to help him protect this empire, not that this empire had to be ruled by that good-for-nothing Long Hai."

Ye Ge smiled shyly.

"I've always believed in your abilities. Now that things have come to this point, you must have arranged everything." Ye Quan glanced at him and said softly, "Since you've started, don't be soft-hearted. Make your own judgment about who should be eliminated and who should be spared, and don't leave any seeds of trouble."

"Don't worry, Grandpa," Ye Ge said. "I know what I'm doing."

"Hmm." Ye Quan nodded, then smiled happily, as if she knew nothing, and went to catch up with her old friend.

It's clear that being in seclusion for so long has really made the old man very restless.

Shen Tu then walked up behind Ye Ge.

"My lord, everything has been arranged."

"Hmm," Ye Ge replied faintly.

His calm gaze swept over the guests in the banquet hall.

Those who came to congratulate them on their wedding today included bigwigs from the Southern, Eastern, Western, and Northern territories, wealthy conglomerates, powerful cultivation sects, influential nobles, presidents and high-ranking members of various extraordinary guilds, and deans of various extraordinary academies. It can be said that all the powerful and influential figures in the entire empire were present.

But Ye Ge knew that among these guests, besides the powerful and wealthy, there were also many of Long Hai's confidants!

These are all top-tier assassins! Their original plan was to coordinate with the five million-strong army to wipe out the Ye family!

Night Song's voice was cold: "Has the list been finalized?"

Shen Tu: "Yes, it has been checked seven times, and there is absolutely no one missing."

Ye Ge nodded slightly, then said, "Zero."

Beside Shentu, a man with a cold face slowly emerged from the shadows.

"You Shadows and Shentu together, take care of all these people."

Ye Ge said expressionlessly, "Leave none."

Zero: "Yes!"

Shentu: "Yes!"

......

In a guest room at the Ye family home.

Long Ming is in this room. He also came to Night City today. As Long Ying's third brother, he certainly has enough reason to participate in the wedding.

"Senior Rakshasa, I'm counting on you today."

Long Ming looked at the middle-aged man in front of him and said seriously, "Ye Ge's mother, Zhou Yuqing, is said to be a Shura Realm expert. But as long as we can capture her alive, we will have another trump card to protect us. When we take action, the Ye family will be restricted in every way and will not dare to act rashly."

Rakshasa was a middle-aged man dressed in the robes of a cultivator, with a red beard, and he looked like a sage.

He was the founder and leader of the Rakshasa Sect, an assassin sect in the cultivation world that specializes in taking on all sorts of murder and life-saving missions. Over the years, they have also done a lot of work for the empire.

In this conflict between the royal family and the Ye family, the Rakshasa Sect has clearly sided with the royal family.

"Your Highness Longming, please rest assured, I have never made a mistake in my actions."

Rakshasa laughed confidently.

"I feel more at ease knowing that the senior is personally involved."

Long Ming rubbed his hands together, looking somewhat nervous: "But I have a bad feeling about this. The Ye family also has many experts, and their strength should not be underestimated. I'm really worried..."

"Your Highness is overthinking it," Rakshasa said. "Although the Ye family has many experts, they only have two at the Heavenly Revelation Realm: Ye Quan and Ye Xiao. Moreover, it's said that Ye Xiao won't be able to return for the wedding this time, so the only real threat is Ye Quan. Besides, the Empire has five million troops waiting outside the southern border. No matter how you look at it, the Ye family is doomed this time, a dead end..."

"You have no idea..." Long Ming was still very nervous, his hands rubbing together incessantly until his palms were sweaty. "The Ye family possesses the Deep Blue System and is also a partner of Dark City. Who knows if Dark City has given them some mysterious weapon as a trump card..."

Rakshasa smiled confidently, "Even if they have trump cards, they are no match for an army of five million superhumans."

"That's true..." Long Ming said at this moment, "By the way, why haven't the three dukes, Xiahoudun, Langxiao, and Walter, as well as the five great generals, He Jin, Lian Peng, Sun Yi, Tian Wu, and Zhao Wuming, arrived at the venue yet?"

Luosha said, "I don't know either. Maybe something happened that delayed them? They each have to mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops and hide around the southern border to avoid being discovered by the Ye family. It's only natural that they would be delayed by some trivial matters."

“But I haven’t been able to get in touch with them since the beginning.” Long Ming frowned. “Even if something happened that delayed them, they shouldn’t be ignoring the phone, right?”

"Oh?" Rakshasa was taken aback. "That's strange..."

"They're not coming."

A voice as cold as an ancient glacier suddenly rang out.

The door to the room was suddenly pushed open gently, and Shen Tu walked in from outside, looking at Long Ming and Luo Sha with a blank expression.

......

Just so you know, the Qin Kingdom is the Qin Kingdom of this world, and the Azure Dragon is the Azure Dragon of this world. Just think of them as familiar things from a parallel world. Anyway, the right to interpret everything belongs to a whiskey~ (doge)
