Danwu God Emperor

"Father, where are the clansmen?" Seeing that only his father and the Third Elder had come from the Ye family, a bad thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

Ye Haotian lowered his head in shame. "Those who survived were all captured. It's my fault, I'm not worthy to be the clan leader!"

"Clan leader, please don't say that. No one in the Ye family is afraid of death. Killing one Dong family traitor is not a loss, killing two is a gain!" Ye Jinyu was covered in blood, and his voice was terrifyingly low, but his fiery temper and raging anger were not suppressed at all.

These words enraged Ye Lou even more, and he almost lost control of his emotions several times. Mu Wanrou held him tightly by the side, because in this situation, Ye Lou couldn't afford to get hurt.

"Friends from Tianyi Academy and Fanyinfang, the Ye family's fate has come to an end. If you leave now, I, Ouyang Liang, guarantee that the Ouyang family will still be your friends."

After speaking, Ouyang Liang turned to look at Ding Daokuang, seemingly reminding him to make his stance clear. He had thought that today's battle was just about eliminating a small family, but it involved so many forces and caused considerable damage, making it difficult for the two of them to go back and explain themselves.

"Same as Dingjiabao." Ding Daokuang tilted his head back disdainfully, while Wu Xuanqing and Dong Kuofeng had no right to interrupt.

Ouyang Liang smiled with satisfaction. In the current situation, as long as he and Dingjiabao did not cause any trouble, forcing Tianyi Academy and Fanyinfang to withdraw, then taking down Ye Haotian and Ye Lou, and slaughtering all the Ye family members would be a piece of cake.

"What if I don't agree!" Mu Wanrou smiled coldly. The Ouyang family, together with Yu Tianyi, used the headquarters' power to transfer Aunt Lan away, making reconciliation impossible. Now, they have surrounded the others who are still in Fanyinfang. How can this matter be left unresolved?

"Those who disagree shall die!" Ding Dao Kuang had long lost his patience. He brandished his broadsword, a cold glint flashing before everyone's eyes, his killing intent undisguised.

"Ding Family Fortress, what arrogance!" Yu Wen sneered. "The Brahma Sound Pavilion will remember what happened today, and one day we will wipe out Ding Family Fortress."

Ouyang Liang smiled calmly and said, "Your Fanyin Pavilion is currently embroiled in a power struggle between two factions and is too busy to care about external matters. Besides, our Ouyang family has a very good relationship with Fanyin Pavilion; we just haven't placed our bets on you."

Indeed, Ouyang Liang's words were true. The internal strife within the Fanyin Pavilion was incessant, with one faction supporting Mu Wanrou and the other supporting Yu Xiliu. Moreover, Yu Xiliu was gradually gaining the upper hand, and Mu Wanrou had almost no chance of winning. Ouyang Liang was naturally fearless.

Moreover, it's not just the Brahma Sound Hall that's in this situation now. With the vice dean backing the Ouyang family, it's only a matter of time before Ouyang Wei, a prodigy, rises to prominence. Whether Tianyi Academy will side with the Ye family is a question worth exploring.

Ding Mao and Mu Wanrou were well aware of this, so they couldn't muster any confidence when faced with Ouyang Liang's nonchalant smile. All the strength they had left here was what they could muster.

"We must not let our minds waver." Ding Mao said without looking to the side, "Ye Lou, their target is you. We will escort you to break through the encirclement later. You and Mu Wanrou just run and don't worry about us."

"But what about my father and the elders?" How could she bear to run away when she saw her father and the elders so badly injured?

"What time is it now? Your most important task is to protect yourself and Mu Wanrou. Leave your father and the elders to me and Xi Yan," Ding Mao said calmly.

"Okay!" Ye Lou nodded. Although he really wanted to stay by Ye Haotian's side, he had to prioritize the overall situation at the moment. He turned to look at Mu Wanrou. "Remember to stay by my side at all times later."

"Mmm!" Mu Wanrou subconsciously moved closer to Ye Lou's body.

"Young man from the Ye family, do you think you can escape from here?" Ouyang Liang sneered. "We have been preparing for this battle for so long. If you escape, how can my Ouyang family maintain its standing?"

Ye Lou stepped out from the crowd, his figure tall and imposing, his heroic bearing extraordinary. Now no one treated him as a child anymore. At the age of fifteen, he was not only capable of challenging those beyond his realm, but he was also an alchemist. This was the reason why the major families spared no effort to eliminate him.

His gaze swept around, chilling to the bone, as if it could kill.

"I will remember your faces. I, Ye Lou, swear to the heavens that if I do not die today, I will grind you to dust!"

"Then you'd better remember us well. After today, you won't be able to see us even if you want to." Ouyang Liang didn't take it seriously; Ye Lou's anger only excited him more.

"Since Tianyi Academy and Fanyinfang are so stubborn, don't blame us for being impolite. Kill them!"

Ouyang Liang raised his hand and waved. Everyone was already prepared and waiting for his order. The murderous aura that had been building up was like a torrent, and the flashing swords and shadows shook the void.

"Kill!" Ding Daokuang's eyes sharpened, and he roared angrily. The four clansmen of Ding Family Fort also charged forward one by one.

"You four are facing us!" The Yu brothers, Yu Wen and Yu Wu, charged towards the four, unleashing their power as sixth-level Spirit Guiding Realm cultivators, attempting to shatter them directly.

However, the four members of Dingjiabao remained unfazed. They had exchanged no less than a hundred blows at Fanyinfang. Although they were only at the fifth level of the Spirit Guiding Realm, the four of them working together were not at a disadvantage at all.

While a fierce battle was raging on one side, another battle broke out on the other, with the Ouyang family members brought by Ouyang Liang clashing with Tianyi Academy.

Brilliant light burst forth from both sides, and the distorted void seemed never to have recovered. Wherever it passed, tiled houses were destroyed and the ground cracked open.

There wasn't a single spectator within a ten-mile radius. Upon seeing the three major families gathered here, they had no leisure to hide in the shadows and observe. Before they even had time to pack their belongings, they left.

After all, this was the most intense battle in Wushan Town to date. After this battle, the three major families would definitely be severely weakened and would have a period of considerable peace, which would be an extremely luxurious happiness for the townspeople.

But they were even more certain of one thing: the Ye family would cease to exist.

At this moment, Ye Lou's side is losing more and more people. Now, only Ding Mao, Xi Yan, and Ye Lou are still capable of fighting. Mu Wanrou's current strength is not enough to reach that level. As for Ye Haotian and Ye Jinyu, they are seriously injured and can only join forces to fight Dong Kuofeng at most.

On the other hand, Ouyang Liang and Ding Daokuang had already been keeping a close eye on Ding Mao and Xi Yan. They would take action at the slightest move, as the scope of a battle at the Spirit Transformation Realm level was terrifying, so they were being extremely cautious.

Moreover, Wu Xuanqing and the three elders of the Wu family were targeting Ye Lou, and everything seemed to have been planned in advance.

Fortunately, all four of them were at the fourth level of the Spirit Induction Realm. If it were the Ye Lou of the past, they would have been able to subdue him if they joined forces. However, Ye Lou had previously broken through his inner demons and was now capable of fighting against ordinary fifth-level Spirit Induction Realm cultivators. Even though he was injured now, he could protect himself without any problem.

However, he was most worried about Ye Cheng'an, who was still in the corner. This was the most dangerous person, and with Mu Wanrou added to the mix, she, who had just entered the Spirit Guiding Realm, would not only be useless but would also be a burden.

"Ye Lou, once Xi Yan and I make our move, you guys run." Ding Mao said in a low voice, staring ahead, then took a step forward. "Ouyang Liang, Ding Dao Kuang, we don't need to wait any longer, right?"

"Hmph! Without the two of you, let's see where that kid behind you can run." Ouyang Liang sneered.

"What nonsense!"

Ding Daokuang was impatient and swung his broadsword at the enemy. Xi Yan thrust his longsword at him, and the two weapons collided, creating a fierce spark. The surrounding experts at the Spirit Guiding Realm all dodged, as such a battle could easily kill them if they weren't careful.

Ouyang Liang and Ding Mao joined the battle almost simultaneously. The spiritual energy of the four of them was so vast and powerful that it crisscrossed and exploded with a force that was awe-inspiring.

"Let's go!" At the same time, Ye Lou shouted in a low voice, and pulled Mu Wanrou and ran out of the town.

"Quick, chase after him! Ye Lou has escaped!" shouted the crowd.

"Can they escape?" Wu Xuanqing and the three elders of the Wu family chased after them immediately, while Ye Chengan followed behind without making a sound.

Ye Lou frowned slightly. As he expected, these were the same people chasing after him. After running for a while, he saw Mu Wanrou panting heavily beside him.

At this rate, they would be caught up before they even left the town. Ye Lou glanced at Mu Wanrou, picked her up, and held her in his arms, naturally increasing their speed considerably.

"Don't move!"

Mu Wanrou's body stiffened, her big eyes blinking in fright. This was the first time she had been so close to Ye Lou, and a blush involuntarily crept onto her face.

She wanted to protest loudly, but when she saw Ye Lou's serious expression, she became obedient and lowered her head shyly.

One second I was in danger, the next I felt safe.

Ye Lou raised his eyebrows slightly. Mu Wanrou exuded a faint fragrance that was very pleasant to smell and invigorated him. However, in this critical moment, Ye Lou had no time to smell it.

"Why is this kid going faster?" Ye Cheng'an was also very puzzled. Logically speaking, carrying someone should slow down his speed.

"Hmph, so what if he's fast? We've laid this trap, how could he possibly escape? Even if we can't catch him, he'll never be able to leave Wushan Town," Wu Xuanqing said confidently.

Ye Cheng'an was taken aback. Did they have another trick up their sleeve?

First, they invited the Ouyang family and Ding family fortress, then they found even more powerful connections with forces like Tianyi Academy and Fanyinfang, and then they mobilized all their forces. Their determination and actions to destroy the Ye family were undeniably firm.

Thinking about it this way, Ye Cheng'an felt reassured that they must still have a backup plan.

However, this situation was not favorable for Ye Lou. Although he could ensure that they would not catch up, it was not a long-term solution. Mu Wanrou's fragrance was like a temporary stimulant. Holding her would cause his body and spiritual energy to be depleted faster than theirs.

It looks like we'll have to find a way to shake them off once we leave Wushan Town.

As Ye Lou ran, he thought to himself. He could vaguely see the three large characters "Wushan Town" above the town gate, which made him quite gratified. He also seemed to see a large flag stuck on top of the three characters.

I don't remember this thing being on the town gate. Something feels off. I glanced back at Wu Xuanqing and the others and saw them with strange smiles on their faces.

As Ye Lou drew closer, the black characters on the banner came into view.

"The Heavenly Fiend Gang!"
