Changsun Qingwan’s delicate brows furrowed with displeasure upon hearing Changsun Changkong’s words.
She had returned to the capital some time ago, though she had mostly remained secluded within the family estate.
However, she had heard about the actions of Changsun Che and Changsun Han over the past few years.
She couldn't quite understand why her once amiable brother and younger brother had become so different.
"Qingwan," Changsun Changkong sighed. "Your grand-uncle knows you have high aspirations. You may not approve of Xiao Che and Xiao Han's deeds, but we are family after all."
"Grand-uncle, I understand what you mean," Qingwan replied.
At this moment, outside the gates.
"Boss, isn't it a bit too arrogant for us to just barge in like this?"
Zhuge Chu chuckled, looking at Ye Kunlun with admiration.
"What have I done in the capital that hasn't been arrogant?" Ye Kunlun glanced at the timid Zhuge Chu. "My principle for doing things is very simple: if I'm bullied, I fight back!"
Although Ye Kunlun's affairs had caused a great stir throughout the city, the guards at the Changsun family's entrance did not recognize him.
What was the Changsun family's status in the capital? When was it appropriate for outsiders to shout and make a scene at their doorstep?
Several fierce-looking guards immediately stepped forward, surrounding Ye Kunlun and Zhuge Chu.
"Who are these blind fools? Don't you know where you are, daring to run wild here!"
Saying that, the guard ordered those around him, "They insulted the young master, beat them!"
"The dogs of the Changsun family are truly arrogant!"
Ye Kunlun looked at the guards acting like bullies, his eyes filled with disdain.
"Changsun Che, if you refuse to come out yourself, I will drag you out personally!"
With that, Ye Kunlun ignored the guards rushing towards him and used his immense strength to send them flying.
Zhuge Chu followed behind Ye Kunlun, secretly clicking his tongue. This feeling was so damn exhilarating!
In the blink of an eye, Ye Kunlun had cleared out the Changsun family guards!
"Kid, this is the Changsun family. Intruders die!"
A middle-aged man blocked Ye Kunlun, holding a specially made gun.
"Boss, be careful. That gun is specially made to break through a martial artist's true qi," Zhuge Chu whispered a warning to Ye Kunlun.
Ye Kunlun completely disregarded the gun in the man's hand and walked towards the Fuxige Pavilion as if entering his own courtyard.
*Bang!*
The middle-aged man fired. The bullet shot towards Ye Kunlun but stopped a meter in front of him.
Ye Kunlun's gaze turned cold, and his power forced the bullet back, making it travel several times faster than before.
Before the middle-aged man could react, he was pierced through the forehead by the bullet and fell to the ground, dead.
At this moment, the Changsun family's security force had been mobilized.
As one of the seven major families in the capital, the Changsun family's security was extremely strict, and its guards were chosen from the top one percent.
Coupled with the highly paid enforcers, the entire security force's combat power was no less than that of a small army, perhaps even stronger.
Nearly a hundred guards released a terrifying killing aura. At the forefront was an elder in black training attire, his eyes sharp with focus.
"Ye Kunlun, you are too lawless. Do you know where you are?"
Clearly, the elder in training attire knew Ye Kunlun.
"Hand over Changsun Che, and I'll leave!" Ye Kunlun coldly stated, facing the guards blocking his path. "Get out of the way, or you die!"
The elder in training attire roared, "Arrogant! Do you think our Changsun family is a paper tiger? Take him down!"
With the elder's command, four agile men lunged towards Ye Kunlun.
The four men were not weak, and their grappling techniques were like iron claws, cutting through the air as they seized Ye Kunlun.
Ye Kunlun’s expression was indifferent. Just as he was about to make a move, Zhuge Chu waved a formation flag. "Boss, let me test these guys' strength!"
Zhuge Chu took the initiative, confronting two of the attackers, and they were locked in combat within moments.
As for the other two, Ye Kunlun didn't even spare them a glance; they were directly sent flying by his power!
"Attack! Even if we have to use sheer numbers, we must capture him!"
The elder in training attire's face turned ashen. If he couldn't stop Ye Kunlun today, he wouldn't be able to continue serving the Changsun family.
The crowd surged forward, rushing towards Ye Kunlun.
Without any apparent action from Ye Kunlun, anyone who came within a meter of him was immediately injured and sent flying.
In a matter of moments, the surroundings were filled with groans of pain.
Suddenly, the enraged elder in training attire attacked, his iron fists pounding ferociously towards Ye Kunlun's face.
Ye Kunlun let out a cold snort, "Scram!"
Simultaneously, Ye Kunlun unleashed a punch of his own.
The power of his punch was beyond comparison to the elder's fists, like thousands of tons of force slamming forward.
*Pfft—*
The elder felt his arms turn to dust. He vomited blood and was sent flying tens of meters away.
*Whoosh whoosh whoosh—*
Several more powerful auras appeared.
Three men and one woman directly intercepted Ye Kunlun.
Ye Kunlun’s brow furrowed slightly, and he said coldly, "It seems the Changsun family has no intention of handing over Changsun Che. Then I shall level the Changsun family today!"
With that, Ye Kunlun flickered, instantly appearing before the four individuals.
A terrifying sword intent came from the void as Ye Kunlun attacked, directly cleaving towards the three men and one woman!
The four were all cultivators, having served the Changsun family for many years, and rarely had opportunities to showcase their skills.
They never expected to encounter an opponent as formidable as Ye Kunlun the moment they were called upon.
"Golden Bell Bodyguard!"
Among the four, a burly man shouted.
Instantly, a golden-yellow light flashed, coalescing into a giant bell that shielded the four of them!
*Clang clang—*
The sword light struck the golden bell, producing a sound like metal clashing against metal.
Ye Kunlun's eyes held a hint of disdain.
The burly man's face turned pale, as his Golden Bell Bodyguard had already developed cracks under Ye Kunlun's sword qi!
The next second, the Golden Bell Bodyguard shattered!
The four of them attacked in unison, unleashing terrifying power.
*Chichichi—*
The sword qi directly breached their defenses.
The four staggered back two steps, looking at Ye Kunlun with horror.
Even working together, their combined strength was no match for Ye Kunlun's sword qi!
"Kid, you, how can your sword intent be so strong?" The woman among the four, who was the least injured, was also a sword cultivator.
"Instead of cultivating your Jade Maiden Sword properly in Lingnan, you've come to be a watchdog for the Changsun family. Are you worthy of Xuanjue?"
Ye Kunlun glanced at her indifferently.
The Jade Maiden Sword was famous from a thousand years ago, created by a remarkable woman named Xuanjue.
When Ye Kunlun’s master taught him swordsmanship, he had mentioned various sword techniques, including the Jade Maiden Sword and Xuanjue.
Ye Kunlun hadn't expected to encounter a descendant of the Jade Maiden Sword here, let alone one serving as a watchdog for the Changsun family.
The woman was stunned. Xuanjue was the name of her ancestor.
However, the lineage of the Jade Maiden Sword had withered, and apart from its inheritors, few outsiders knew the name Xuanjue.
Not only did Ye Kunlun recognize her Jade Maiden Sword, but he also uttered the name of her ancestor, clearly indicating his profound knowledge of the Jade Maiden Sword.
"Stop wasting words, attack together!"
The burly man shouted coldly, beckoning the other two to attack Ye Kunlun directly.
