Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

"Splash! Splash! Splash!"

The sounds of people kneeling, rising and falling, echoed like a dense drumbeat throughout the courtyard of the Ye family mansion.

Those Ye family members who had been blustering and cowardly just moments before were now completely devoid of any arrogance, collapsing to the ground one by one.

"Junlin! Please, spare us! We were also bewitched by Ye Zhenting back then! We regretted it afterward."

"We swear! We'll never do it again! We're willing to be your slaves! We just beg you to spare our lives!"

More than a dozen senior elders of the Ye family kept kowtowing to Ye Junlin, begging for mercy. Their foreheads were bleeding profusely, and their voices were filled with desperate cries.

The younger generation of Ye family disciples also panicked.

"Yes! Brother Junlin, we had no involvement in the killing of your parents back then."

"I also had no idea that the family had hired the Blood Killing Pavilion to assassinate you!"

"Please spare our lives, for we share the same ancestry!"

The cries for mercy, the screams, and the confessions mingled together, creating an extremely jarring lament.

Ye Hao collapsed to the ground, terrified by the horrific scene around him. He scrambled towards Ye Junlin.

She cried out incoherently, "Ye Junlin! No! Young Master Ye! I was wrong! I was really wrong! I shouldn't have called you trash!"

"I shouldn't have gone against you! Please, please let me go! I'll never do it again!"

"I see you don't know you were wrong, you just know you're going to die! And that's why you're begging for mercy."

"But I tell you, it's too late! I've already given you a chance."

Ye Junlin coldly stared at the group of Ye family members he once regarded as family.

Ye Zhenting looked at the crowd kneeling and begging for mercy, then at his son sprawled on the ground like a dead dog. His face was ashen.

A flicker of despair crossed his eyes, only to be replaced by a burning hatred.

He abruptly raised his head, staring intently at Ye Junlin, and roared sharply:

"Ye Junlin! Don't go too far! There's a limit to nonsense! Do you really intend to wipe out the Ye family?!"

"To exterminate them all?"

Ye Junlin slowly lowered his head, looking down at the crowd kneeling and begging for mercy at his feet, his eyes icy cold and devoid of any warmth.

A mocking smile curled at the corner of his lips: "When you conspired to murder my parents, did you ever consider showing them even a shred of mercy?"

"When you hired the Bloodthirsty Slaughter Pavilion a few days ago to destroy my dantian and try to kill me, did you ever consider that we share the same lineage?"

His voice wasn't loud, but it was like the sharpest knife, piercing the heart of every member of the Ye family.

"If you can eliminate all traces of the weeds, why can't I, Ye Junlin?"

Upon hearing this, all the pleas for mercy ceased abruptly.

The color drained from everyone's faces instantly, and the despair in their eyes was completely replaced by fear.

They knew that Ye Junlin was determined to massacre the Ye family today, and any pleading would be of no use!

"Good! Good! Good!"

Ye Zhenting said "good" three times in a row, a ruthless determination flashing in his eyes. He suddenly stood up, ignoring the excruciating pain in his hand.

He shouted sternly at the Ye family members behind him, "Fellow members of the Ye family! This brat Ye Junlin is determined to wipe out my entire Ye family!"

"Instead of kneeling and begging for mercy, let's fight him! We'll drag this bastard down with us even if it means death!"

"Yes! Let's fight him!"

"Kill this beast!"

Driven to the brink, the Ye family members erupted in a hysterical roar.

With their eyes red and their spiritual energy surging wildly, they rushed towards Ye Junlin.

The five Grandmasters and several other Grandmaster-level experts of the Ye family took the lead, knowing that this was the Ye family's last hope!

As long as Ye Junlin can be killed, the Ye family will still have a glimmer of hope!

"Don't you even know your own cultivation level? How dare you threaten to kill me?"

Ye Junlin stood still, not even lifting his eyelids, and simply uttered a sentence.

"Kill! Hold back!"

Jing Ke and Yao Li attacked almost simultaneously, their two dark figures darting into the crowd like ghosts.

The overwhelming pressure of the mid-stage Void Realm cultivator erupted without reservation, crushing down like a mountain, instantly immobilizing the Ye family members who rushed up.

The dagger in Jing Ke's hand gleamed coldly as he unleashed the ultimate technique, "Instant Kill Sword." The sword light was so fast, like a fleeting glimpse of a startled bird, that it was impossible for anyone to react.

"Pfft!"

A flash of sword light appeared, and before the Third Elder Ye Zhenbei, who was at the forefront, could even let out a scream, his head was sent flying into the sky, and blood sprayed into the air like a fountain.

Sold out instantly!

One move to instantly kill a Grandmaster!

This scene froze all the Ye family members who rushed forward, their madness replaced by extreme fear.

Yao Li's attacks were even more ruthless and unpredictable. His movements were elusive, like a shadow blending into the darkness.

With a dagger in hand, he targets vital points. His "Piercing Heart Sword" moves are deadly, and with each thrust, someone falls to the ground dead.

"ah--!"

"Help! Help me!"

"Ye Junlin, I will haunt you even as a ghost."

The agonizing screams of the Ye family members rose and fell, but they could not stop Jing Ke and Yao Li's advance.

The two of them moved like tigers among sheep, maneuvering freely among the Ye family's disciples. Wherever they went, corpses littered the fields and rivers of blood flowed.

Those so-called elders, second elders, and family elders are no match for them, like clay chickens and earthen dogs!

In just a short while, most of the Ye family members had fallen in the courtyard, their blood staining the ground and the thick, nauseating stench of blood filling the air.

Ye Zhenting looked at the tragic scene before him, his eyes blazing with fury, yet he was powerless to do anything about it.

The gap between the Void Realm and the Grandmaster is like an insurmountable chasm!

He abruptly turned his head, looking at the trembling Ye family juniors hiding behind them, a resolute glint in his eyes.

With all his might, he roared, "Youngsters! Run! Get out of here! Run as far away as you can!"

"If we ever get the chance, we must avenge them! We must rebuild the Ye family!"

Then, Jing Ke stabbed him in the heart. Before dying, he looked at Ye Junlin and said, "If I had known, I should have killed you myself."

"Instead of caring about the family's reputation, I hired the Blood Slaughter Pavilion to assassinate you, only to let you escape. I regret it!"

The younger members of the Ye family were already terrified. Upon hearing Ye Zhenting's roar, they all turned around and fled frantically out of the mansion.

"Trying to run away?"

Yao Li's lips curled into a cold smile, his eyes devoid of any emotion.

With a swift movement, he chased after the fleeing younger members of the Ye family.

Ye Junlin slowly closed his eyes, unable to bear watching this scene any longer.

He knew that to nip the problem in the bud, one must eliminate the root cause! If he let these juniors go today, they would surely come back with a vengeance one day.

He'll be the one who suffers then! Although he's not afraid, he finds it too troublesome.

"Father, Mother, please don't blame me for being heartless."

Ye Junlin murmured to himself, "Only by eliminating the root of the problem can we prevent future troubles."

The piercing screams lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before gradually subsiding.

When Ye Junlin opened his eyes again, the entire courtyard of the Ye family mansion had become a living hell.

Corpses littered the ground, blood flowed like rivers, not a single person survived, not even the dogs in the yard were all killed by Jing Ke.

Jing Ke and Yao Li's figures slowly appeared behind Ye Junlin.

The two men, covered in blood, remained expressionless and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, it has all been resolved."

Ye Junlin didn't speak, but slowly raised his head, looking at the gray sky, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

He silently said in his heart, "Father and Mother, I have avenged you."

"From this day forward, the Ye family, these wolves, will no longer exist in this world."

After a long while, Ye Junlin slowly withdrew his gaze and said in a deep voice, "Gather all the resources of the Ye family and bring them back to the dimensional space."

"Yes, ma'am."

Jing Ke and Yao Li left immediately and began to systematically plunder the Ye family's treasure trove.

Half an hour later, after searching for a while, the three of them found Uncle Fu's body and buried him!

He then took all of the Ye family's resources and left this blood-soaked land, his figure quickly disappearing into the vast night.

Inside the palace within the dimensional space.

Ye Junlin looked at the mountain of spirit stones, pills, and cultivation manuals before him, but felt no joy whatsoever.

He waved his hand and said to Jing Ke and Yao Li, "You must be tired too. Go down and familiarize yourself with the dimensional space."

"I want to be alone for a while, I'll make arrangements tomorrow."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The two bowed and then turned and retreated.

Inside the palace, only Ye Junlin remained.

He slowly walked to the window, gazing at the swirling spiritual energy within the dimensional space. A hint of weariness flashed in his eyes, yet a sense of relief remained.

Although he had avenged his great enemy, he did not feel as happy as he had imagined.

After all, those people also had the same blood as him.

But Ye Junlin knew he was not wrong.

Mercy to the enemy is cruelty to oneself.

He clenched his fists, a determined glint in his eyes.

"Father, Mother, don't worry. From now on, I will live a good life."

"I will build my own power, a power that no one dares to provoke!"

"I will stand at the pinnacle of this world and let everyone know that I, Ye Junlin, am not someone to be trifled with!"

The night grew ever deeper.

However, the Time Tower within the dimensional space shines as brightly as a star.
