Chu Yang raised an eyebrow slightly, seemingly finding his reaction quite amusing.

"Trespassing?" He chuckled lightly. "I've come here openly and legitimately, how can that be considered trespassing?"

"It's your Nine Li Dynasty that has repeatedly sent people to assassinate my friends; isn't that what you call truly sneaky?"

The Nine Li Ancestor's expression changed, and he was secretly alarmed.

he knows!
He actually knew about the Ruthless Clan's attempt to kill Ye Fan!
"I don't know what you're talking about," the Nine Li Ancestor said in a deep voice, suppressing his shock. "This matter has nothing to do with my Nine Li Dynasty."

Chu Yang shook his head, a look of regret on his face.

"Ancestor Jiuli, now that things have come to this, are you still going to try to deny it?"

He slowly descended from the sky, each step he took seemingly treading on the very heart of the Nine Li Ancestor.

"You joined forces with the ruthless faction, setting up an ambush in the Eastern Wilderness in an attempt to kill Ye Fan."

"If Gai Jiuyou hadn't arrived in time, Ye Fan would probably be in grave danger."

"Do you dare say this matter has nothing to do with the Nine Li Dynasty?"

The Nine Li Ancestor's face was ashen, and he remained silent.

He knew that there was no point in arguing any further.

Since Chu Yang dared to come to our door, it means he already has enough evidence.

"Hmph!" Patriarch Jiuli sneered, "Even if it was done by my Jiuli Dynasty, so what?"

"You and my Nine Li Dynasty have an irreconcilable feud, so naturally we must find a way to deal with you!"

"What's there to say?"

Chu Yang nodded, his smile gradually fading.

“Well said,” he said calmly. “Now that you’ve admitted it, things are much easier.”

"Today, I have come to demand an explanation from the Jiuli Dynasty."

The Nine Li Ancestor's pupils contracted: "What do you want?"

Chu Yang stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at this once-powerful quasi-emperor-level expert.

“My demands are simple,” he said slowly and deliberately. “First, the Jiuli Dynasty must withdraw from its alliance with the Ruthless Clan and shall no longer participate in any actions targeting me or those around me.”

"Secondly, compensation for Ye Fan's losses in this incident will be provided in exchange for three sacred artifacts."

"third……"

He paused, a cold arc appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"You will atone with your death."

Upon hearing this, the Nine Li Ancestor's expression changed drastically.

"What? You want me dead?" he roared. "Chu Yang, don't go too far!"

"I am a quasi-emperor, how dare you kill me as you please?"

Chu Yang looked at him calmly, without the slightest fluctuation in his eyes.

"A quasi-emperor?" he said softly. "In my eyes, you, a quasi-emperor, are nothing more than an ant."

"Last time in the Qinling Mountains, I just casually pointed a finger, and it pierced your shoulder."

"If I were to take your life today, do you think you could stop me?"

The Nine Li Ancestor's face was ashen, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

It was anger, and it was fear.

He recalled the scene where Chu Yang pierced his shoulder with a single finger, and he still felt lingering fear.

The feeling of being crushed was truly terrifying.

"Chu Yang, don't push your luck!" he said through gritted teeth. "My Nine Li Dynasty has a history of hundreds of thousands of years and a profound foundation. How can you destroy it just like that?"

"No matter how strong you are, you can't possibly fight against an entire dynasty by yourself!"

Chu Yang shook his head slightly, a look of disappointment on his face.

"It seems you still don't understand your situation."

He slowly raised his right hand, and an extremely terrifying aura surged from his body.

That aura was overwhelming, as if it would crush the entire imperial city.

The Nine Li Ancestor's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly mobilized all his power to resist.

But that aura seemed to ignore his defenses and pressed down on him directly.

boom!
The Nine Li Ancestor's knees buckled, and he knelt down on the ground.

"This...this is impossible!" He was horrified and struggled desperately, but found that he could not move at all.

Chu Yang looked down at him, his eyes filled with coldness.

"Ancestor Jiuli, do you know why I dared to come alone?"

"Because in my eyes, all of you from the Nine Li Dynasty combined are nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs."

The Nine Li Ancestor trembled all over, his aged face filled with disbelief.

He is a quasi-emperor!

Even though he has aged, a quasi-emperor is still a quasi-emperor!

How could he be forced to kneel on the ground by a junior?
This is ridiculous!
Just then, a series of whooshing sounds echoed around the imperial city.

Li Lei rushed over with a group of powerful figures from the Nine Li Dynasty, and they were all stunned by what they saw.

"Ancestor!" Li Lei's expression changed drastically, and he rushed forward. "Chu Yang! Release the ancestor!"

Chu Yang glanced at him, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

"Grand Elder Li Lei, you've come at the right time," he said calmly. "I just presented your ancestor with three conditions, but he seemed reluctant to agree."

"What do you think?"

Li Lei's face was ashen. He looked at the Nine Li Ancestor who was being pressed to the ground, and then at Chu Yang who was high above him. His heart was filled with despair.

He knew that the Jiuli Dynasty was completely defeated today.

Chu Yang's strength far exceeded their expectations.

How could the Nine Li Dynasty possibly contend with an existence that could easily suppress a quasi-emperor?

“Emperor Chu…” he began with difficulty, “Your conditions, we…”

"No!" the Nine Li Ancestor suddenly roared, interrupting him, "I will never yield!"

"Chu Yang! If you have the guts, kill me!"

"Even if I die, I will never bow my head to you!"

Chu Yang looked down at him, a faint hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.

"You do have some backbone," he said softly, "but unfortunately, backbone can't save you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly waved his hand.

A dazzling sword light burst forth from his fingertips, instantly piercing through the chest of the Nine Li Ancestor.

"puff!"

The Nine Li Ancestor coughed up blood, his cloudy old eyes filled with disbelief.

"You...you really dare..."

Chu Yang looked at him indifferently, without the slightest pity.

"I told you, you would atone with your death."

"Since you're unwilling to do it yourself, then let me help you."

The body of the Nine Li Ancestor trembled violently, and his life force was rapidly slipping away.

Although that evil technique restored his strength to some extent, it also planted hidden dangers within his body.

Now that Chu Yang's attack pierced his chest, those hidden dangers erupted instantly, completely destroying the life force within him.

"Chu...Chu Yang..." He used his last strength to squeeze out a few words, "You...will regret this..."

"The Nine Li Dynasty...will not let you go..."

Chu Yang gently shook his head.

"The Nine Li Dynasty?" he said softly. "From this day forward, the Nine Li Dynasty will become history."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand again.

Countless sword lights descended from the sky, bombarding various vital points of the Jiuli Imperial City.

Boom boom boom!
The entire imperial city trembled violently under the bombardment of the sword light, countless buildings collapsed, and flames soared into the sky.

The ancestral hall, which housed the divine tablets of past emperors, was struck by the sword light immediately and reduced to ruins.

"No!" Li Lei cried out in anguish, watching helplessly as the ancestral hall collapsed, unable to do anything about it.

The collapse of the ancestral hall signifies the end of the Jiuli Dynasty's destiny!
From then on, the Jiuli Dynasty would never be able to regain its former glory!
Chu Yang withdrew his hand, looking down at the ravaged imperial city beneath his feet, his face expressionless.

"The Nine Li Dynasty, which lasted for hundreds of thousands of years, was destroyed today."

"This is what happens when you oppose me." He turned to look at Li Lei and the others, a cold glint in his eyes.

"Do you still want to continue opposing me?"

Li Lei and the others were shocked and knelt down on the ground.

"I dare not! I dare not!" Li Lei said in a trembling voice, "My Jiuli Dynasty is now willing to submit to the Outer Heavens, and will never dare to be an enemy of the Emperor again!"

"Please, Your Majesty, have mercy and spare our lives!"

Chu Yang looked at them calmly without saying a word.

After a long silence, he finally spoke: "Submission? That's unnecessary."

"The Nine Li Dynasty no longer exists. You may all disperse."

"But there's one thing you must remember—"

"If anyone dares to lay a hand on me or those around me again, I wouldn't hesitate to do it again."

"At that point, it won't be as simple as just a mere imperial city."

After saying that, he vanished from the spot in a flash.

All that remained was a devastated imperial city and a group of Jiuli Dynasty citizens collapsed on the ground.

The cold moonlight shone on this ravaged land.

The body of the Nine Li Ancestor lay amidst the ruins, his eyes still wide open in death.

He never dreamed that he, a dignified quasi-emperor, would die at the hands of a junior.

Even more unexpectedly, the Jiuli Dynasty, which had been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, would be completely destroyed tonight.

“Ancestor…” Li Lei crawled to the side of the Nine Li Ancestor, looking at that distorted face, tears streaming down his face.

"We were wrong...we shouldn't have been his enemy..."

He cried his heart out, his voice echoing through the ruins, but no one came to comfort him.

Because everyone was gripped by deep fear.

Chu Yang's strength exceeded their imagination.

Who would dare to be an enemy of someone who can easily kill a quasi-emperor and sever the dynasty's fortune?

That night, the Jiuli Dynasty became history.

Chu Yang's fame spread throughout the entire Big Dipper Star Region after this battle.

……

Three days later, the news spread.

The entire Big Dipper constellation was shaken.

The Jiuli Dynasty, an immortal dynasty that had been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, was destroyed overnight!
The Quasi-Emperor Ancestor was killed on the spot, the Ancestral Hall was destroyed, and the fortune was cut off!

And all of this was done by just one person—

Chu Yang!

Chu Yang, the Lord of the Outer Heavens!

"That's terrifying..."

"He actually wiped out the Nine Li Dynasty all by himself..."

"Even a quasi-emperor couldn't withstand a single move from him..."

"From now on, who will dare to oppose the Outer Heavens?"

Various factions were discussing the matter animatedly, and everyone wore a deep sense of apprehension.

Those forces that had once joined forces with the Jiuli Dynasty to deal with Chu Yang are now living in constant fear, terrified that Chu Yang will come looking for them to settle scores.

The Xiao family, the Wang family, the Li family...

The leaders of these forces held an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.

Ultimately, they all made the same decision—

I beg forgiveness from the heavens beyond!

In an instant, countless convoys laden with gifts surged toward Tianwaitian, with each faction sending its most influential figures to apologize to Chu Yang.

The ruthless faction that had been secretly stirring things up finally felt fear.

……

The stronghold of the Ruthless Clan.

Hua Wuji stood at the highest point of the stone tower, gazing at the dim sky in the distance, his face so gloomy it seemed as if water could drip from it.

"The Nine Li Ancestor...is dead?" His voice was hoarse, tinged with disbelief.

Hua Yunfei behind him kept his head down, not daring to look at his face.

“Yes, Supreme Elder,” he said in a trembling voice, “the news is true. Chu Yang, alone with his sword, killed the Nine Li Ancestor, severed the Nine Li's destiny, and destroyed the Nine Li Dynasty overnight.”

Hua Wuji shuddered, a look of horror flashing in his deep eyes.

One man, one sword...

Slaying a Quasi-Emperor...

The dynasty was destroyed...

What a terrifying power this is?

“We underestimated him,” he said slowly, his voice filled with bitterness. “From the very beginning, we underestimated him.”

"He's not some kind of Dao-Slaying King at all; his strength... has probably already surpassed that of a Saint, and may even be approaching that of a Quasi-Emperor!"

Hua Yunfei trembled all over, his face turning ashen.

Quasi-Emperor...

If Chu Yang truly possesses the strength of a quasi-emperor, then wouldn't their ruthless lineage be...?

"Elder, what should we do?" he asked in a trembling voice.

Hua Wuji remained silent for a long time before finally letting out a long sigh.

“Let’s lie low for now,” he said wearily, “and wait for the right opportunity.”

"Chu Yang's strength is terrifying; we are no match for him at all."

"Only when darkness and turmoil descend, and the world is in chaos, will we have a chance."

Hua Yunfei gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment.

But he knew that the Supreme Elder was right.

With their current strength, they are no match for Chu Yang.

We can only wait...

Waiting for the moment that will change everything.

"Ye Fan... Chu Yang..."

He silently repeated the two names in his heart, a glint of madness flashing in his eyes.

"One day, I will make you pay!"

In the Eastern Wilderness, amidst the desolate ruins of an ancient city.

Ye Fan sat cross-legged on a boulder, his eyes slightly closed, meditating.

After being rescued by Gai Jiuyou, he left that dangerous area and came to this abandoned ancient city alone.

This place was once a prosperous city in ancient times, but now only ruins remain, overgrown with weeds, and desolate.

But for Ye Fan, this place is an excellent place for cultivation.

With no human presence and no disturbances, he could peacefully heal and cultivate.

Although the ambush by the ruthless lineage did not fatally injure him, it did consume a great deal of his energy.

The power of those three binding divine lights is still raging within him and needs time to dissipate.

"Brother Chu..."

Ye Fan opened his eyes, gazing at the azure sky above, his heart filled with complex emotions.

He is now certain that Tu Fei is Chu Yang.

The person who had always fought alongside him as a "brother" turned out to be the most mysterious and unpredictable being in the entire Big Dipper Starfield.

This discovery shocked him, but it also brought him peace of mind.

At least, he knew that Chu Yang had been protecting him in secret.

Whether it was sending Gai Jiuyou to rescue him or the various arrangements made before, it all shows that Chu Yang has never forgotten his friend.

"Once I'm strong enough, I'll definitely ask him face-to-face why he hid his identity."

A faint smile appeared on Ye Fan's lips, then he closed his eyes again and continued cultivating. (End of Chapter)
