Duan Wuya hurriedly cupped his fist and said, "Miss, it would be more appropriate for Wuya to handle this matter for you."

Ye Qimeng looked at Duan Wuya with a questioning gaze. Duan Wuya immediately said, "First, my strength is definitely sufficient. Second, I am openly an elder of the Azure Wave Palace, which everyone knows. My intervention would also give the Thunder Emperor City a better explanation. Third, it can avoid exposing your identity, Miss."

Ye Qimeng thought for a moment, Duan Wuya's words made sense. So she said, "Alright, it's settled then. You will handle this matter this time."

Duan Wuya cupped his fist and said, "Thank you for your accomplishment, Miss. I am extremely willing to work for you."

Half an hour later, a silver flying boat appeared outside Thunder Emperor City. On the flying boat was Ye Qimeng and her group. The flying boat turned into a silver stream of light and disappeared into the horizon.

In less than half an hour, the flying boat slowly stopped before a mountain range called the Azure Abyss Mountain Range. Duan Wuya slowly flew out of the flying boat. At the peak of the Azure Abyss Mountain, rain poured down, and nine thunderbolts tore through the night sky. Duan Wuya stood with his hands behind his back in front of the Huang family's mountain gate, his ink-colored robe fluttering in the wind. Raindrops three inches away from him turned into ice crystals and fell rustlingly.

The mountain gate burst open, and eighteen thunder light chains intertwined into a net. The Seventh Elder of the Huang family stepped into the air, each of them stepping on a purple thundercloud. "Who are you?…" The leading elder's beard and hair bristled, and arcs of cyan-purple electricity danced between his palms.

Before he could finish speaking, Duan Wuya's sword was already unsheathed.

It was an indescribable sword light. The rain froze into an ice crystal matrix, and the thunderclouds disintegrated into pieces in the sword intent. The seven elders maintained their horrified expressions, and blood blossoms bloomed on their foreheads at the same time, like seven blood-colored lotus flowers blooming in the rain.

A drop of blood dripped from the tip of Duan Wuya's sword, smearing a scarlet stain on the cyan jade floor tiles. The thirty-six thunder pillars outside the hall were completely shattered, and the remains of the Huang family's three thousand Thunder Armor Guards were piled up into a small mountain. Blood mixed with rainwater flowed down the steps into streams.

Huang Minghao, the Old Ancestor of the Huang family, rushed out directly from his residence. The Thunderclap Whip in his hand echoed the thunder in the air, and thunder rumbled loudly.

"Huang Minghao, your Thunderclap Whip is too noisy." Duan Wuya raised his foot and shattered the last thunder talisman, and the thunder patterns on the ground extinguished in response. The thunderclouds surged in the dome, but split in half when his sword energy swept past, revealing the clear silver flying boat behind.

Huang Minghao collapsed in the debris of the throne, half of his body embedded with thunder crystal fragments from his own mountain protection array. He frantically pinched his fingers to form a magic seal, and nine thunder dragons had just rushed out of his sleeves when they were twisted into a sky full of light debris by the Void Sword Realm. "You can't kill me! My grandfather is…"

The sword light was like a silver snake devouring his throat. Duan Wuya flicked off the remaining thunder from his sword and said as he watched the head roll into the pool of blood, "No matter who your ancestor is, they can't save you today."

Ye Qimeng on the silver boat was watching this scene. She said to Du Chong, "Uncle Du, let's go to the Wu family." As she spoke, she sent a voice transmission to Duan Wuya to go to the Wu family. At this time, Duan Wuya was searching the Huang family's treasure vault, packing up all the Huang family cultivators' spatial rings and resources before boarding the flying boat.

After half an hour of flight, when the Ye family's silver flying boat tore through the clouds, the Wu family's mountain protection array was breathing in the moonlight. At Purple Lightning Cliff, Duan Wuya slashed down with his sword, and the sword light cut on the array's protective shield. The array hummed, and then Duan Wuya cut out a foot-wide gap. A middle-aged beautiful woman led the charge out of the Wu family. Her name was Wu Xuewei, and she was the strongest in the Wu family, at the peak of the Great Emperor realm. Seeing Duan Wuya's figure, she angrily said, "Why did you break my mountain protection array for no reason? You're courting death!"

Duan Wuya grinned and said, "Is this your last words?" The Ancient Emperor Sword in Duan Wuya's hand shone brightly.

Wu Xuewei was shocked. An Ancient Emperor realm expert! She used the Purple Lightning Swift Step, pulling out seventeen afterimages in the Void Sword Realm. Each afterimage formed a different lightning seal. A hundred-zhang Lightning Prison rose from the ground, and three thousand lightning talismans turned into chains, entangling Duan Wuya's limbs.

The three thousand lightning talismans exploded with purple lightning under the night sky, and the entire cliff turned into a boiling lightning pool. Wu Xuewei's toes tapped over the lava, and the afterimages stepped out by the Purple Lightning Swift Step actually solidified into reality in the Void Sword Realm. The seventeen figures formed seals at the same time, triggering the Nine Nether Lightning from the depths of the earth veins.

"Lock!" The seventeen Wu Xueweis shouted in unison. The lightning lava suddenly condensed into three hundred barbed chains, and at the end of each chain, the faces of people frozen in ice were conjured. Duan Wuya's sword blade shattered three chains, but the splashing lightning lava turned into more poisonous snakes, entangling the major acupoints around his body. He unleashed the Void Sword Domain.

"Void Sword Domain?" She chuckled and crushed her natal lightning bead. "My Wu family's lightning techniques specialize in breaking voids…"

The sound of the sword swallowed the end of her words. Duan Wuya's sword suddenly appeared at the intersection of all the lightning talisman trajectories, as if ten million swords had been thrust out at the same time. The Lightning Prison collapsed into a purple star rain, and every drop of lightning lava reflected the sword marks of him tearing space. Wu Xuewei's seventeen afterimages exploded at the same time. Before the Wu family cultivators could show joy, they saw Duan Wuya pinch a sword incantation with his left hand.

Looking again, Wu Xuewei's real body was nailed to the ancestral hall plaque, and the "Thunder" character of "Thunderbolt of Ten Thousand Jun" on the plaque was flowing with the hot blood from her neck.

Duan Wuya unfolded the Void Sword Domain, enveloping the entire Wu family, and began the slaughter. Miserable cries rose and fell. A quarter of an hour later, Duan Wuya, finding no signs of survivors, put away the sword domain.

Watching the Wu family members fleeing in the distance, Duan Wuya flicked out his scabbard, and continuous screams came from a hundred miles away. Twenty-three heads flew through the air and were neatly stacked on the ruins of the Wu family, each pair of eyes condensing the undissipated lightning.

At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, as if to do the final cleansing for this extermination. Along with the search of the Wu family's treasure vault, the spatial rings of the Wu family members were taken away together.

Duan Wuya returned to the flying boat, and the flying boat in the heavy rain turned into a silver stream of light, leaving this scorched earth. On the flying boat, Duan Wuya took out the gains from the two families and handed them to Ye Qimeng, "Miss, these are the gains from these two families."

After Ye Qimeng probed with her divine sense, she felt that it was not very useful to her, so she took a spatial ring and gave it to Du Chong.

Du Chong initially did not dare to accept it, but after seeing Ye Qimeng's eyes, he put away the spatial ring. He said to Duan Wuya, "You can keep the rest for yourself!" After saying that, he did not speak any further.

After returning to Thunder Emperor City, Ye Qimeng and others dispersed on their own. Duan Wuya went to find Lei Batian to inform him of the matter, saying that he had done it himself because the disciples of those two families had attacked the disciples of the Azure Wave Palace by the Thunder Marsh. If he had not arrived to rescue them, they would have all perished. Lei Batian did not say anything. These two families had no connection with Thunder Emperor City, at most just two fewer resource-providing objects. This was all something Duan Wuya had investigated beforehand.

Lei Batian thought for a moment and still said to Duan Wuya, "Brother Duan, that Huang family has an Old Ancestor who went to the Central Domain in his early years and seems to have become a disciple of a major power in the Central Domain. You have to inquire about this. If you don't handle it well, it may bring no small trouble to you and the Azure Wave Palace."

After hearing this, Duan Wuya thought to himself, if I were on the outside before, I might still have some scruples, but now that I have latched onto a backer, I have more confidence. But since I am on the outside, I still have to be more careful.

Duan Wuya said, "Thank you for the reminder, Brother Lei. I will pay attention. Now that I am in Thunder Emperor City, I hope Brother Lei will inform me if there is any news."

Lei Batian smiled and said, "That is natural. Brother Duan, please rest assured that if there is any news about this person, I will tell you as soon as possible!"

Duan Wuya said, "Then thank you, Brother Lei. I have something to do, so I will go back first."
