Chapter 2113: The Lingnan Ye Family’s Upheaval, Unexpectedly…

"In five days, the Unparalleled Swordmaster will emerge from seclusion and attend a banquet. If this matter isn’t resolved by then, the Unparalleled Swordmaster will surely come knocking."

Song Liruo was completely panicked.

The arrogance she had before was entirely gone.

"Oh? Then let him come. Among the top ten Ancient Clans, the Dark Clan and Sword Clan should be about equal. Why are you so afraid?"

Ye Chenfeng asked curiously.

"You don’t know the terror of the Unparalleled Swordmaster. Before going into seclusion, he single-handedly challenged the seven great Elders of my Dark Clan and even won. You should know that the seven great Elders all have Half-step Heavenly Immortal cultivation."

Song Liruo’s words were filled with astonishment.

"Oh, I see."

Ye Chenfeng realized.

Although this world is changing, Half-step Heavenly Immortal is already considered a top-tier expert, taking down seven Elders at once is indeed terrifying.

No wonder this woman is so apprehensive...

"Let’s do this, I’ll send you abroad today, as far as you can go."

Song Liruo suddenly thought of something and couldn’t help saying.

"You want me to leave? Aren’t you afraid they’ll pin everything on you?"

Ye Chenfeng asked with a smile.

"Even though you caused the trouble, if I hadn’t saved you at first, you would’ve just been beaten by Wang Qitian. But now it’s different, I got you involved..."

Song Liruo said earnestly.

Ye Chenfeng’s lips curled into a smile, finding this woman genuinely interesting.

She’s not at all as portrayed outside...

"No, even if you run to the ends of the earth, the Unparalleled Swordmaster would catch you in no time. You better stay by my side."

In Song Liruo’s mind, a thought emerged—she had to bow to her old rival, the Holy Maiden of Violet, and beg for her mercy this time.

Even though the matter has escalated, Song Liruo understands that if she humbles herself to the Holy Maiden of Violet, she will certainly agree.

After all, they are mortal enemies, neither yielding to the other.

If one side concedes, it would be immensely satisfying to the other side.

It’s the only solution Song Liruo can think of!

Otherwise, they’ll have to face the Sword Clan head-on with the Dark Clan’s destiny.

No, it should be the entire Lingnan.

After all, with a call to arms, most of Lingnan’s forces would respond to the Sword Clan.

This isn’t something their Dark Clan can control, facing such a situation leaves them with no option but a dead end.

The chance of winning is almost zero...

The next day, after making this decision, Song Liruo planned to take Ye Chenfeng to apologize to the Holy Maiden of Violet.

Moreover, this was the idea of everyone in the Dark Clan.

Having Song Liruo humble herself alone would bring peace to the Dark Clan.

But when she arrived at the hotel, Song Liruo found that Ye Chenfeng was nowhere to be found.

Gone!

The thought crossed Song Liruo’s mind.

But she quickly dismissed it, although she had only known Ye Chenfeng for a short time, she believed he wasn’t that kind of person, or he wouldn’t have confronted the Unparalleled Swordmaster.

However, upon inquiring at the hotel, Ye Chenfeng hadn’t returned since last night.

This made Song Liruo’s heart sink...

"Impossible, miss, he definitely bolted."

"Right, no ordinary person wouldn’t have heard of the Unparalleled Swordmaster and would dare to confront him knowing that."

"I think he clearly intended to set you up and then skipped town."

...

The attendants around Song Liruo couldn’t help but say.

Upon returning to the Dark Clan’s headquarters, a top-tier estate on the outskirts of Lingnan City,

All the important members of the Dark Clan were present in the council hall.

The leader was the Dark Clan’s patriarch, Song Kuanglong, accompanied by the seven great Elders of the Dark Clan and its top Three Martial Saints.

Four Heavenly Immortal One Rotations and over ten Half-step Heavenly Immortals.

This lineup was already formidable.

But still no match for the Sword Clan!

At this moment, the entire Dark Clan was shrouded in gloom, with everyone wearing a somber expression.

Everyone knew that once the Unparalleled Swordmaster emerged from seclusion, they would surely target them.

Seeing Song Liruo arrive, Song Kuanglong couldn’t help but angrily say, "Look at the trouble you’ve caused, now the person is gone. Just now, Wupai’s people searched everywhere, and there’s no such person in Lingnan."

The seven Elders also said, "Holy Maiden, you handled this matter poorly, now the person is missing, and all the pressure is on us."

"Yeah, sister (brother), you misjudged him, he just ran out of fear."

Song Liruo’s brothers and sisters said the same.

As soon as Song Liruo arrived, she was besieged by everyone in the Dark Clan, yet she had no reason or strength to refute them.

At that moment, even Lingnan’s Dark Queen found herself in a predicament...

"I’ll handle this matter alone. I’ll personally plead for forgiveness from the Unparalleled Swordmaster."

Song Liruo intended to shoulder this burden by herself.

"No, we will face this matter together. However, from now on, our Dark Clan will inevitably be suppressed by the Sword Clan, unable to hold our heads high. Unless a genius capable of rivaling the Unparalleled Swordmaster emerges."

Song Kuanglong said.

But after glancing at the younger generation of the Dark Clan, he shook his head in disappointment.

Currently, Song Liruo is the strongest of the younger generation in the Dark Clan, but compared to the Unparalleled Swordmaster, she’s simply not in the same league.

Song Liruo bit her lip tightly and said nothing.

She couldn’t have imagined that because of her, the Dark Clan would have to bear so much, constantly suppressed by the Sword Clan.

Was it Ye Chenfeng’s fault?

Song Liruo didn’t think about these things now...

Instead, she felt a bit relieved that Ye Chenfeng had run off, even the Dark Clan couldn’t find him.

"Don’t feel guilty, Liruo, the situation has to be faced! After all, once the Unparalleled Swordmaster emerges from seclusion, who knows what realm he will reach, possibly even Heavenly Immortal Three Rotations."

Song Kuanglong said.

Despite these words, the younger generation looked at Song Liruo with dissatisfaction.

Almost unanimously, they believed that it was her and Ye Chenfeng who caused the trouble...

Especially with Ye Chenfeng running away at the critical moment...

At this moment, Ye Chenfeng was at the former residence of the Ye Family in Lingnan, everything had changed.

The once prestigious Lingnan Ye Family had turned into a pile of ruins, the surrounding area becoming desolate, worse than a slum.

This place had become a forbidden zone, with no trace of life, human or otherwise.

It was as if some scientific experiment had been conducted here, with no grass growing for decades, completely barren.

"What kind of mess did the Lingnan Ye Family get into while I was away? How did it end up like this?"

Ye Chenfeng muttered to himself.

Even the unique wells of the Lingnan Ye Family had vanished without a trace, leaving no sign of life.

"What exactly happened here? What kind of disgrace did Ye Tiannan bear? Could he have done it himself?"

Ye Chenfeng mused after observing for a while.

"Huh? No! This..."

Suddenly, Ye Chenfeng’s expression changed, revealing a look of astonishment.
