Before, Yang Li had been utterly convinced that no matter who Chen Yang was, if he stepped onto Yang Family territory, even the Heavenly King himself would meet his end here.

However…

Who could have imagined that this man, supposedly stripped of his title as the Zhennan Prince, would become the most terrifying presence at the scene? Without even rising from his seat, he had shattered the very foundation of the Yang Family.

Is this it? Are we finished?

Yang Li could no longer remain standing and collapsed onto the ground in utter despair.

PANT! PANT!

Yang Dingtian propped himself on the ground with his hands, watching helplessly as his life force ebbed away.

This is truly terrifying! He was a top expert himself. In the past seventy or eighty years, he had seen all sorts of formidable people, but he had never encountered such a horrifying existence. If his opponent had put in even a little effort, would there be anything left of me?

Chen Yang flicked his cigarette ash and fixed his gaze on the cold moon in the sky. His calm voice resonated directly in their ears, "Is that moon beautiful?"

Yang Dingtian was silent.

Taking a couple of deep breaths, Yang Dingtian mustered his courage and said, "You've killed countless members of my Yang Family and trespassed on our grounds. You…"

BOOM!

Before he could finish, Yang Dingtian was sent flying again, crashing into a stone pavilion.

"Is the moon beautiful, or not?"

Yang Dingtian was silent.

The bystanders were speechless.

At this moment, everyone present, including Yang Dingtian, felt utterly broken and incredibly stifled. The man had been toying with them from the very beginning, and now he was…

Is it beautiful?

Many subconsciously looked up. For some reason, the moonlight tonight seemed exceptionally cold and clear, sending a shiver down their spines.

"It… It's beautiful."

THUD!

With a wave of his hand, Chen Yang sent the wretched Yang Dingtian flying once more.

Yang Dingtian shot his head up, his face flushed red as if in a final surge of life. He roared with all his might, "You abuse your power! My Golden Summit Yang Family has always acted with measure, principle, and responsibility. This is nothing but bullying!"

"Heh heh…" Chen Yang chuckled, asking with great interest, "Yang Jin forced himself on a young woman. Yang Qian and Yang Qin threatened to annihilate entire family lines and sink a whole city. And he…"

Chen Yang pointed at Yang Li. "Is this what you call acting with measure, principle, and responsibility?"

Yang Dingtian was speechless.

After a long moment, he screamed with what little strength he had left, "Even if my Yang Family went too far, it's not your place to interfere!"

"Heaven's cycle is just; who has it ever spared?"

With his hands clasped behind his back, Chen Yang slowly walked away.

BOOM!!

Yang Dingtian exploded into a mist of blood that filled the air.

「Inside the SUV.」

Chen Yang stared at the distant, scattered lights outside the window and murmured as if to himself, "Some things really can't, and shouldn't, be ignored. Right?"

"Boss, I support you!" Yang Hu knew exactly what Chen Yang meant, his gaze resolute. "And it's not just me. The eight hundred thousand good men of Hanyun Valley will continue to support you, as they always have."

Should the day come when you take off your uniform and are harmed by traitors, the hundreds of thousands of Hanyun Valley soldiers who retired because of a certain person's departure will gather without a call to arms. Even if it means breaking down a city's walls and slaying millions, they will still demand to know: why? Even if they are condemned by thousands and become demons in the eyes of the world, they will support him to the very end! It's not for any other reason. It is only because, for more than a decade, he guarded this cherished land day and night. With his own flesh and blood, he fought to secure this era of prosperity for our nation. He expanded the borders and raised our nation's banner to flutter proudly in the wind. Even though he no longer holds his position, he remains the most revered existence in our hearts—sacred and inviolable! To even think of touching him, you'll have to ask our hundreds of thousands of soldiers if they agree!

On a day not long after, in an event no one could have foreseen, hundreds of thousands of bare-handed, passionate men would gather at the foot of the imperial capital, Cangyun City, and roar a single name in unison. The heaven-storming killing intent and qi would make even this ancient, thousand-year-old capital tremble.

No matter how the world changes, conscience and integrity are two things that will endure forever, never to be severed. Justice may be delayed, but it will never be absent, especially for this nation.

…

"Did you hear? Yang Dingtian was killed, and the entire Yang Family has completely fallen apart!"

"Oh, thank heavens! You've finally opened your eyes! The wicked have finally received their just punishment."

"Haha, I'm going to die from laughing! Damn right!!"

"..."

As news of Yang Dingtian's death and the collapse of the Yang Family spread through Holy Sea, the bustling coastal city erupted. All manner of denunciations, curses, and clamor filled the air, seemingly without end.

To the people of Holy Sea City, the Golden Summit Yang Family was like a giant leech. They monopolized various sectors of public life, and the exorbitant fees they imposed crushed the citizens, leaving them unable to stand straight. Compared to Qin Lie, Yang Dingtian was the opposite extreme.

Instantly, the streets and alleys of Holy Sea filled with the thunderous roar of firecrackers and the brilliant bursts of fireworks. Laughter and joyous shouts echoed without end. That day in Holy Sea was even more festive than the New Year.

An SUV, driving through the deafening sound of firecrackers, slowly made its way out of Holy Sea. Once on the highway, it accelerated, heading straight for Lingjin City.

Compared to Holy Sea of Qiyun Road, the pace of life in Lingjin City was somewhat slower. For Chen Yang, a place like this was far more comfortable.

In just one week, Qin Qiu had handled the affairs of the Qin Corporation and the launch of the new medicine beautifully. Everything was on the right track, no longer requiring the personal attention of the beautiful CEO.

「This morning.」

With the exception of Luo Sulan, the group of five—Chen Yang, Qin Qiu, Qin Mo, Qin Gang, and Yang Hu—drove north toward Cangyun City.

Qin Gang was heading north to have his injuries treated by the Pill Dragon King. Before they left, Chen Yang had called the Pill Dragon King to explain the situation in detail, after which that old codger swore he had plenty of methods to help. Qin Mo was going specifically to take care of Qin Gang. Once his treatment was finished, she would escort him back to Lingjin City.

The journey was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation, making the time pass quickly.

「Meanwhile.」

At a highway rest stop far away in Cangyun City, a limited-edition Ferrari LaFerrari came racing in. Upon reaching the adjacent waiting area, it executed a sharp drift. Amid a cloud of acrid smoke from screeching tires, the luxurious supercar stopped perfectly in a parking spot.

Every passerby stopped in their tracks to stare.

Does he have to be so cool?

As the scissor doors swung high, a handsome man with sharp features and an imposing figure stepped out of the multi-million dollar vehicle—the kind of man who would make any young woman scream with excitement. He was about twenty-five or twenty-six, sporting a sleek, shiny pompadour. Dressed in the world's top designer brands, he appeared exceptionally dashing and full of vigor.

Fine as jade, a young master without parallel in this world.

Facing the stunned and envious gazes from the crowd, he let the corners of his mouth curl into a slight smirk. His eyes burned with intensity as he ran a hand through his pompadour, then pulled a startlingly large iron sword from the car.

The sword's exterior was unremarkable, but its length—over one and a half meters—was extremely eye-catching.

"Hey, isn't that Young Master Su Ling? What's he doing here?"

"Probably looking to show off again. I wonder who the unlucky one is this time."
