A thunderous roar, mingled with aura, resonated throughout every corner of the Gamma Holy City. At that moment, countless people in the city lifted their heads, turning their gaze toward a single direction—there, a surge of powerful aura erupted skyward, rising like towering pillars! Members of the Mitel family, including Yafu and Haibo Dong, surged out of the hall, their faces serious, intently observing the epic burst of aura. "Now, what should we do?" Mitel Tengshan asked solemnly. "还有什么可选择的？若不愿投降，便唯有拼死一战！" Haibo Dong snorted, a faint cold aura swirling around him. Under this cold radiance, the deepening blue in his eyes grew even more intense. "Everyone listen—hold your ground, remain calm, and do not panic. Should anyone attempt an invasion, act immediately without waiting for orders—kill them!" Yafu's face was as cold as ice, her eyes sharp with determination, her commanding voice spreading throughout the Mitel family. Gazing at Yafei, who was calmly issuing orders and swiftly restoring order amidst the chaos, Hai Bode nodded slightly, then narrowed his eyes with a cold gaze fixed upon the spot where the qi surges had erupted. His fist, clenched steadily within his sleeve, tightened slowly. "Old cloud-herald, you intend to wipe out my Mitel family—well, then I shall make you bleed, break your bones!" Gazing at the white-robed figures darting like fleas across the rooftops of the buildings, many people unconsciously took a deep breath, then expressed a mix of regret and frustration—Cloud岚 Sect’s bold and resolute actions seemed truly arrogant. The white-robed troops surged forward like a tidal wave from the northern edge of the capital, eventually encircling the area where the Mitel family resided. The sheer momentum suggested that the Cloud岚 Sect had mustered at least a thousand troops—scale enough to rival a small military force. As the wave of white robes swept through the city, the capital itself erupted into chaos, much like a pot of boiling oil. Countless citizens climbed to rooftops, trailing behind the wave, only halting when they could clearly see the Mitel family, then settling in favorable viewing positions to watch what would surely become one of the most momentous events in Gamma Empire history. The three leading families of the Gamma Empire have each stood firm for a considerable period of time. Over the years, their power has grown increasingly strong, making it difficult for ordinary families to surpass them. Today's move by Yunlan Sect against the Mitel family will undoubtedly be the most significant confrontation in the Gamma Empire in the past several decades! "Regarding Lady Yafu's kind intentions, Xiao Ding merely smiled and shook his head, then raised his hand, and at once a remarkably dense and vibrant green martial energy surged forth, swiftly enveloping his entire palm. 'Hm? You've advanced to the Martial Spirit level? When did this happen?' Sea Bode, observing the sudden surge of energy emanating from Xiao Ding, was momentarily stunned and remarked with genuine surprise. 'With my legs losing sensation, I've had to remain quietly focused on my cultivation, so my progress has been quite solid. However, since I've rarely demonstrated my martial energy in daily life, no one has been aware of this achievement.' Xiao Ding smiled. 'As long as you have the means to protect yourself, should things go south, you and Lady Yafu should seize the opportunity to escape. Staying here and defending the position steadfastly may not be wise. Even if the Mitel family is indeed wiped out, someone will surely come to avenge us in the future.' Sea Bode nodded, then suddenly spoke softly. Hearing Hai Bo Dong's words, Xiao Ding and Ya Fei both paused, about to speak—yet at that moment, Xiao Ding's expression grew completely serious, and he slowly said, "They've arrived." Rising to look up, both of them saw that the buildings outside the manor were now filled with countless figures in white robes, each holding identical, sharp long swords. Under the sunlight, the cold glint of their blades poured into the manor, casting a chilling atmosphere throughout. His body suspended midair, Hai Bo Dong's shoulders trembled, and a pair of ice-powered wings extended from his back. The wings vibrated, stabilizing his form in the sky. His eyes, glowing cold, fixed upon the vast cloud formation of Yunlan Sect's main force, which surged like a white tide. Powerful qi surged forth from within him, and as it flowed, a mighty aura enveloped the heavens, exerting an unusual pressure over a radius of one hundred meters. With his power at the level of a Qi Emperor, the aura he projected stirred some unrest among Yunlan Sect's troops, and even the numerous onlookers atop the surrounding tall buildings were left in awe. As one of the few top-tier Qi Emperor-level warriors in the Gamma Empire, Hai Bo Dong's reputation had once again reached its peak in the past three years. "Hai Bo Dong," the commander said, "don't resist any longer. Can you, by yourself, still turn the tide? If you wish to survive, hand over the remnants of the Xiao family immediately!" Just as the waves of Haibo Dong surged with vibrant momentum, two sharp roars suddenly erupted from within the city, followed immediately by two streams of power that matched the former in strength. At that very instant, a gust of wind swept through, and finally, under the watchful eyes of countless onlookers, two streaks of light arced across the sky, landing prominently above the outer reaches of the Mitel family estate. Hai Bode's gaze had been fixed firmly on the two as soon as they appeared, and when his eyes settled upon their faces, a sudden shock surged through him. His deep, resonant voice, tinged with disbelief, echoed across the sky: "Cloud Director? Cloud Sha? How is it possible that you both have also ascended to the Battle Emperor rank?" "Hey, you're the only one who's supposed to become a Battle Emperor—does that mean no one else can?" Hearing this, the elder named Cloud Sha sneered, and replied. "Sea Elder, these two were barely four-star Battle Kings just three years ago. How could they have reached the Battle Emperor rank so swiftly within such a short span?" A figure flashed into view beside Hai Bode—Miter Tengshan—now gazing at the two figures in the distance with a look of utter disbelief. Haibo Dong's expression was gloomy. He narrowed his eyes, glanced at Yun Du and Yun Sha, then shook his head after a moment. "Something's off with these two. Though their aura seems to reach the level of a Battle Emperor, it's far from smooth and natural—like a Battle Emperor's. I suspect Yunshan has employed some strange secret technique to artificially elevate their strength." Hai Bo Dong furrowed his brow, coldly scolding, then spoke in a steady tone: "I will swiftly eliminate one of them, and then assist you in dispatching the other. As long as these two leaders fall, the rest of Yunlan Sect's disciples will no longer pose a serious threat!" Mitel Tengshan sighed, knowing this was now the only course available. Even if they were defeated today, standing before so many witnesses, it would still be a victory in spirit. "Hai Bo Dong, one more question—today, shall we surrender them, or not?" Yun Sha coldly glanced at the two figures hovering above the manor, his voice sharp. "The Yunlan Sect's actions over the past years have truly disgraced the faces of their previous sect masters! Does Master Yun Shan, that old lump, even fear that his ancestors will rise from the dead to hold him accountable?" Hai Bo Dong sneered, delivering a mocking reply. Hearing this, Yun Sha and Yun Du also grew solemn, their faces turning completely serious. Under the unwavering gaze of countless onlookers, the two slowly raised their hands. In an instant, they suddenly swept them down. As their palms descended, a cold, resolute cry of command rang out across the sky. "Listen, all disciples of Yunlan Sect! Today, we shall purge the Mi'ter family!" With their voices echoing, a sharp, piercing sword aura surged forth from the white tide, instantly enveloping the city in a vast, sun-obscuring shield.
