In front of the Ye Residence.
Ye Lingyun listened to the faint sounds of commotion and discussion from afar, his face burning, his heart filled with shame and indignation, yet helpless.
He could feel that the Ye Family's long-accumulated prestige had suffered a heavy blow after this incident.
Just when everyone thought the Ye Family had conceded and today's matter would end here—
"Boom..."
Suddenly, a dull, thunderous roar came from the horizon!
The sound did not come from a single direction, but converged from all sides, carrying a uniform, heart-pounding rhythm!
Immediately after, under the gaze of countless astonished eyes—
At the eastern horizon.
A figure like a black torrent appeared, breaking through the air at an astonishing speed!
They were not riding flying boats, but flying directly through the air!
There were about ten people, all wearing standard dark green dragon-patterned spirit armor with helmets covering their faces, revealing only pairs of cold, emotionless eyes.
Runes flowed over the spirit armor, and their auras connected into one, like four unsheathed sharp swords, tearing through the sky!
Even more alarming was the aura they exuded!
The leader was clearly a Cultivator at the first stage of Undergoing Tribulation!
The team members behind him were all at the Middle Stage to Late Stage of Mahayana!
Such a lineup, even in the entire Eastern Domain, would be enough to sweep through an area and strike fear into countless forces!
They were precisely one of the most mysterious and powerful forces of the Qing Xuan Imperial Dynasty—the Azure Dragon Guard!
They had clearly received the Ye Family's urgent message and had just arrived!
The Azure Dragon Guard hovered above the Ye Residence, subtly forming a battle Formation.
A majestic Killing Intent mixed with iron-blooded Evil Qi descended like a tangible presence.
This made many Ye Family Disciples below, who were already severely injured, struggle to breathe, their faces pale.
"The Azure Dragon Guard! The Azure Dragon Guard has come!"
"Heavens! A whole team of Azure Dragon Guard!"
"That silver-haired woman is finished now! When the Azure Dragon Guard acts, there are never any survivors!"
"But... that pressure just now..."
"How strong can she be? The Azure Dragon Guard represents the Qing Xuan Imperial Dynasty, it represents Empress Qing Xuan! Who dares to resist?"
Among the Cultivators watching from afar, another wave of irrepressible gasps and discussions erupted.
Many felt that this sudden storm would probably end with the arrival of the Azure Dragon Guard.
After all, the Azure Dragon Guard's fearsome reputation in the Eastern Domain was simply too great!
When Ye Lingyun saw the Azure Dragon Guard arrive, his heart first relaxed, then immediately tensed up again!
He quickly cupped his hands towards the Azure Dragon Guard and shouted loudly:
"Sirs! There might be some misunderstanding in this matter!"
His heart was extremely conflicted at this moment.
He hoped the Azure Dragon Guard could deter Gu Han, but he also feared they might not know the depth of the situation.
If they truly started a fight, it might anger this being and bring about the Ye Family's demise!
Among the Azure Dragon Guard, the captain, whose aura was the most profound and whose helmet bore the most ferocious Dragon pattern, slowly stepped forward.
He did not remove his helmet; his cold gaze swept through the devastated Ye Residence through his faceplate—the shattered Family Protection Formation, the injured Elders, the unconscious guards... Finally, it landed on the silver-haired figure standing calmly in the center of the square, seemingly oblivious to the arrival of the Azure Dragon Guard.
"Patriarch Ye."
The Azure Dragon Guard captain's voice came through his faceplate, carrying a metallic, cold quality,
"Who dares to act against a Family under the Empress in the Eastern Domain?"
His words were direct and questioning, clearly having already regarded Gu Han as an enemy challenging the Qing Xuan Imperial Dynasty's authority.
Ye Lingyun opened his mouth, unsure how to explain for a moment.
Should he say that his Family had first sent people to forcibly seize someone's Disciple, only to be killed in retaliation?
Or should he say that the Ye Family couldn't afford to provoke this person before them?
"It was this Sovereign."
Gu Han's voice calmly rang out, answering the question for Ye Lingyun.
She looked up, her gaze calmly meeting the Azure Dragon Guard captain's cold eyes,
"Yaochi Immortal Palace, Gu Han."
"What do you intend?"
These six plain words carried an indescribable sense of composure and... indifference.
The Azure Dragon Guard captain's brow, beneath his faceplate, furrowed almost imperceptibly.
