Ye Hongyun’s heart was filled with bitterness.
At this point, he could only choose to make a last-ditch effort. As long as the Du Family in the Royal City stood unshaken, there would be no place for them to stand in the entire Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty.
“Family Head Li, are you still waiting for that kid Qin Yichen?” Lin Huarong sighed, also unable to help but bitterly smile.
Facing the Du Family, even if the three Families joined forces, they had no chance of victory. Their only hope was that young man.
But in this short half month, even if he came back, how much of an impact could he make?
In fact, Lin Huarong rather hoped that Qin Yichen would not come back. Given his talent, if he grew up in the future, there would still be a chance for him to avenge them.
“Haha, to be honest, Old Lin, I have confidence in that kid.” Li Yuanfei laughed loudly, his gaze falling on Qin Haoran and his Wife, who wore worried expressions and were not far away from him.
When evacuating, he had protected Qin Yichen’s Parents with all his might. He was certain that Qin Yichen would definitely come back. He was also certain Qin Yichen was their only chance of winning against the Du Family!
“Hehe, that guy…” Ye Liangchen just chuckled, his small eyes flashing with an indescribable light, making it impossible for others to understand what he was thinking.
He wore the facade of a foolish privileged child, and for so many years, no one had seen through his disguise. Only that Qin Yichen. Only he seemed to leave him with no secrets.
“Then, three Family Heads, what should we do now? Why don’t we seek help from the Alchemy Guild?” suggested an Elder from the Ye Family.
“It’s useless…” Li Yuanfei shook his head and said, “Since the Du Family has already made their move, they must have taken into account all forces in Spreading Cloud City. Moreover, the Alchemy Guild has always refrained from interfering in such matters. No matter who we seek help from, it won’t make a difference.”
He very clearly saw through this plan.
“Then… are we just going to wait here to die?”
In the hall, some people started to make a commotion again.
“Everyone, at this point, we must prepare for the worst…” Lin Huarong spoke up, his gaze sharp as he swept across the room, “I suggest we first send Qin Yichen’s Family, and some of the young ones from the Ye Family, Li Family, and my Lin Family through the secret passage out of Spreading Cloud City, to preserve our Family Bloodlines. We must believe that as long as Qin Yichen is around, our three Families will have a chance to rise again!”
Indeed, at this point, there was no turning back. Speaking of that young man… everyone’s expressions became somewhat complex.
…
*Boom…* Just then, suddenly, a huge sound like thunder reverberated through Heaven and Earth. At the same time, it also drew the attention of everyone in Spreading Cloud City.
The sound came from where the Ye Family was located!
“Are they going to make a move against the Ye Family!?” The streets, which originally still had some pedestrians, instantly became empty, fear of getting involved.

In the main hall of the Ye Family Mansion, after hearing this explosion, everyone’s faces turned pale. After all, this sound clearly came from outside the Ye Family Mansion.
At this moment, outside the Ye Family Mansion, on a wide street, it was crowded with people. As far as the eye could see, there were at least several hundred people.
These hundreds of people all exuded bloody smells. They were clearly all strong warriors who had been through many battles!
At the front of these hundreds of people were three main figures, one in front and two slightly behind.
The figure walking at the very front had a slender figure. It was surprisingly a woman wearing a red face veil. Behind her were two middle-aged men, one tall and one short. The short one was slightly plump with small eyes flashing with cunningness, while the tall one was dark and muscular with bulging muscles. When following behind that woman, there was no sign of disrespect in their eyes. In fact, their gazes towards the woman’s back were filled with deep apprehension.
The three of them walked unhurriedly at the front, as if taking a leisurely stroll, but they gave an intangible pressure to those around them.
These three were all famous figures in the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty.
The short one was the leader of the Wild Wolf Mercenary Group, ranked seventh among the top ten mercenary groups in the Heavenly Unicorn Dynasty, Lang Xing.
The tall one was the leader of the Fierce Tiger Mercenary Group, ranked ninth, Yan Hu.
And the woman at the front was the leader of the Thorn Mercenary Group, ranked third, known as… Xue Meigui!
If anyone underestimated her because she was a woman, they would die a very miserable death.
Among the top ten mercenary groups, each was not weak. Even the Fierce Tiger Mercenary Group, ranked ninth, had strength comparable to the Li Family, let alone the Thorn Mercenary Group which was ranked third.
Otherwise, the Li and Lin Families would not have been destroyed overnight.
Arriving in front of the tightly closed gates of the Ye Family Mansion, Xue Meigui showed no intention of making a move. Lang Xing and Yan Hu behind her exchanged glances, both corners of their mouths curling into a cold arc.
“Trash from the Ye Family, surrender yourselves and hand over those formulas. If this great one is in a good mood, I might even leave you with intact corpses!” Lang Xing spoke up, his cold shout, wrapped in thick Yuan Energy, resounded throughout the Ye Family Mansion.
At this moment, all eyes in the Ye Family Mansion turned towards the gate.
“How powerful!” Just one shout made Lin Huarong’s face change.
“Sons of the Lin Family, follow me out to kill the enemy!” Lin Huarong stood up from his seat and walked straight towards the door. In his eyes, there was not a hint of fear, only the determination to fight to the death.
“Do you want to flee again?” Li Yuanfei’s gaze swept over the people of the Li Family. Faced with his gaze and hearing these words, the eyes of the many members of the Li Family ignited with raging flames.
How could they forget the grudge of their Family being exterminated!?
“Brothers, follow me! Let’s fight to the death!” Li Yuanba shouldered his pair of gaint hammers and stood up, walking out side by side with Lin Huarong.
Behind them, others followed suit.
Ye Liangchen, after arranging for someone to take Qin Yichen’s Parents away, also walked out, not choosing to retreat.
Outside the main hall, the strong warriors of the three Families were already waiting. The originally restless crowd quieted down when they saw the three Family Heads walk out together.
“A bunch of mercenaries dare to come to our Spreading Cloud City to cause trouble, wanting to exterminate our Family. Everyone, let’s show them with our actions that those born in Spreading Cloud City are not to be bullied!” Ye Liangchen’s voice resounded throughout the entire Ye Family Mansion, rousing everyone’s fighting spirit.
“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
The killing intent soared to the sky as everyone, led by Lin Huarong, Li Yuanba, and Ye Hongyun, they walked towards the gate together.
*Bang!…*
Before Lin Huarong and the others reached the gate, the gate of the Ye Family Mansion violently burst open with a huge sound, turning into a shower of wooden splinters.
With the opening of the gate, the hundreds of mercenaries poured in.
Lin Huarong’s gaze immediately fell on those three figures, and his pupils could not help but contract.
“Two first level Peak Stage Martial Grandmasters, one at the second level…” As his gaze fell on Xue Meigui, Lin Huarong also took a deep breath, his face turning gloomy.
Unexpectedly, among the mercenaries hired by the Du Family, there was even a second level Peak Stage Martial Grandmaster. If the strong experts of the Du Family arrived, they would probably be at least at the third level of the Peak Stage, right?
