“Ha ha... As expected, the so-called Guardian Beast is just as weak!”
Seeing Ye Fan effortlessly defeat the previously arrogant Guardian Beast, a glimmer of hope that had just emerged in Qing Jiu Zhen's heart was instantly shattered, and she couldn't help but let out a desperate cold laugh.
Ye Fan looked at Qing Jiu Zhen and said, “It's not that your Qing Family's Guardian Beast is weak; it’s just that it encountered me.”
With the strength of the Old Tortoise Sage, if it hadn't met Ye Fan, even an ordinary Ascension Realm immortal would likely have no chance against him.
With such a terrifyingly powerful Guardian Beast, if it weren't for Qing Shengyu's foolishness in provoking Ye Fan, this extraordinary being, the entire Azure Wave Continent would likely have no one capable of shaking the Qing Family's Overlord status in the Qinglan Celestial Kingdom.
Lang Sun Chuan, Azure Phoenix Demon King, Wuma Xian'er, Nangong Xuandie, and others stood beside Ye Fan, feeling somewhat speechless.
Returning after more than a decade, Ye Fan's growth was indeed frighteningly immense.
“Ha...”
Qing Jiu Zhen took a deep breath. Her cold features looked at Ye Fan with a hint of pride.
“So, are you saying that our Qing Family is truly finished?”
Ye Fan countered, “Do you really think there is still hope?”
Qing Jiu Zhen let out a self-deprecating laugh, having lost even the courage to fight against Ye Fan. In despair, she said, "If that's the case, then go ahead and kill me too!"
Ye Fan shook his head slightly and replied, "Although I don't want you, if it comes to killing you... to be honest, I find it hard to do so."
As his voice fell, a beam of spiritual light suddenly shot from Ye Fan's fingertips, striking Qing Jiu Zhen directly. It transformed into an incredibly violent force that instantly swept through her body, shattering all the meridians within her.
Even the Sendai she had conjured collapsed under this power in an instant.
Countless streams of Celestial Energy erupted from Qing Jiu Zhen's body, causing her to appear exceptionally radiant, as if she were emitting a brilliant light.
However, a trace of blood began to seep from the corner of her mouth. With an expression filled with immense rage, she glared at Ye Fan and said, "If you can't bear to kill me, then what is this all about?"
Looking at Qing Jiu Zhen, there was no hint of pity in Ye Fan's eyes. "I said I can't bear to kill you, but I never said I wouldn't cripple you. Now that you've lost all your cultivation and your foundation is destroyed, you're no different from a mortal. So go on, I won't kill you."
Lang Sun Chuan, Wuma Xian'er, and Nangong Xuandie looked at Qing Jiu Zhen with sympathy but understood why Ye Fan had acted this way.
Though Qing Jiu Zhen was undeniably proud, her talent was beyond question.
In just over ten years, she had progressed from the Late Stage of Ascension to the peak and directly stepped into the God-Slaying Stage.
From this point, it is clear just how extraordinary her talent is.
For Ye Fan to spare her life is already a show of great mercy.
If she were not to be crippled, Qing Jiu Zhen, being a direct descendant of the Qing Family, would surely become a future trouble.
Of course, Ye Fan would not fear a single Qing Jiu Zhen, but what about the Ye Family?
After crippling Qing Jiu Zhen, Ye Fan's gaze shifted away, no longer looking at her.
Instead, he directed his attention downward and coldly stated, "The Qing Family, as a royal clan, I know you still have many members remaining. However, I, Ye Fan, will not kill you today. But if you dare to plot against my Heavenly River Mansion or the Ye Family in the future, do not blame me for being ruthless."
"Azure Phoenix, let's go."
With that, Ye Fan stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his clothes billowing as he issued the command.
"Yes, my lord."
Azure Phoenix let out a long howl and instantly soared up into the sky, heading back towards the direction of Heavenly River Mansion.
Watching Ye Fan and his group disappear into the distance, countless powerful figures throughout Shengjing City were left in a daze.
Heavenly River Mansion? Ye Family...?
They seemed to have heard this name before.
It was said that the Ye Family had destroyed the Central Domain Cao Mansion, and then the Qinglan Celestial Kingdom threatened to take action against the Ye Family.
But now...
The Ye Family had not been annihilated, yet the Qinglan Celestial Kingdom had already vanished without a trace.
Even the Guardian Beast of the Azure Wave Celestial Kingdom had been swiftly subdued.
In an instant, news of the Heavenly River Mansion and the Ye Family spread rapidly throughout the Azure Wave Continent.
The name Ye Fan became well-known, turning into a figure that inspired fear.
From this moment on, everyone understood.
The Azure Wave Celestial Kingdom was finished.
A Qinglan Celestial Kingdom overlord, who had dominated for countless years, was brought to an end by Ye Fan alone.
After defeating Qing Shengyu and others, Ye Fan and his companions returned directly to the Heavenly River Mansion of the Ye Family.
As for the members of the Azure Wave Celestial Kingdom's Qing Family, he did not pursue their complete destruction.
He paid no attention to their whereabouts, instead lost in thought about certain matters.
In Ye Fan's heart, there was a sense of confusion.
Although he had recently allowed Soaring Crane and Han Jian, along with Tenghe and Han Jian, to leave, he still pondered how to deal with the two of them.
If he simply let them go, Ye Fan wondered, once they returned to the Upper Realm, would there be even more powerful immortals from their Sect in the Lower Realm?
Or would they send more Celestial Realm experts down to deal with him?
"Forget it. The cost of opening a passage between the two realms is immense. If they truly suspect that I have obtained the Heavenly Sword Emperor's legacy, even if they want to make a move, it would likely be after I ascend to the Upper Realm."
"They probably wouldn't expend greater resources and effort to send Celestial Beings down to the Lower Realm." As for more powerful immortals, Ye Fan thought for a moment and felt it was highly unlikely.
The cost was too great, and even if a Celestial Emperor existed, if an immortal from the Lower Realm was too strong, they likely wouldn't be able to maintain the stability of the passage between the two realms.
Otherwise, why would the Suspended King Sword Sect, Ninefold Celestial Gate, and Celestial Demon Domain have all disciples in the Lower Realm at the early stages of Celestial Being?
Just as Ye Fan was deep in thought, a group of powerful figures suddenly arrived above the Heavenly River Mansion and Ye Family.
Their voices were deep yet respectful, echoing into the Ye Family.
"From the Inner Domain, Ninefold Celestial Gate Baili Bo has come to pay respects to Senior Ye Fan."
"Inner Domain, Qilin Temple, here to pay respects to Senior Ye Fan."
"Inner Domain, Ten Thousand Seas Dragon Palace, here to pay respects to Senior Ye Fan."
"Inner Domain, Suspended King Sword Sect, Xiao You, here to pay respects to Senior Ye Fan."
In addition to these Dominant Forces from the Inner Domain arriving, another group of powerful beings swiftly approached from a different direction.
Upon reaching the skies above the Ye Family and glancing at the crowd from the Inner Domain, they respectfully called out, "Southern Border Bloodthirsty Demon Sect here to pay respects to Senior Ye Fan."
"Southern Border Supreme Demon Sect, Wuma Jianqian and Wuma Liuyun, here to pay respects to Senior Ye Fan and to apologize to Senior Ye Fan and the sect leader."
Upon hearing those voices echoing in the void, countless Ye Clan members and experts within the Ye Family were filled with shock. They couldn't help but stand in the courtyard, looking up at those figures in the sky.
Each voice came from an Overlord-level powerhouse.
In the past, such beings were unattainable existences.
Yet now, with the curtain falling on the Qinglan Celestial Kingdom and Ye Fan rising, all directions came to pay homage!
Moreover, they still needed to respectfully address their young master as Senior!
