the next day.

The sky over Ninghai City seemed to have darkened a bit.

An invisible oppressive atmosphere hung over the city.

Ordinary people may not have noticed yet, but those at the top of the pyramid or those with good information have already been stunned by a shocking piece of news!

A thunderbolt powerful enough to overturn the entire underground world of the East China Sea!

The Zhao family, one of the eight powerful families that have been entrenched in the East China Sea for nearly a century!

That Zhao family, who owns a private island, is full of experts, and even the government treats them with deference!

Destroyed!

Overnight, it was uprooted!

On Zhao Family Island, blood flowed like rivers and corpses littered the ground!

Clan head Zhao Tianhai, along with all core members, honored elders, elite guards...

Not a single one survived!

This news was like the most powerful Category 12 hurricane, instantly sweeping across the entire Ninghai and even all the surrounding cities!

Countless people were dumbfounded and felt a chill run down their spines!

Who is it?

Who on earth has such extraordinary means and audacity to commit such an inhumane act?

Although the Zhao family has many enemies, there are almost none who have the ability and the courage to completely wipe them out!

Immediately, all sorts of speculations arose.

Some speculate that it was the work of a long-standing nemesis.

Some speculate that it was some reclusive old monster who suddenly launched an attack.

But most people's attention was drawn to Qin Yang, the young man who had recently risen to fame in Ninghai and acted with unparalleled arrogance!

After all, the conflict between Qin Yang and the Zhao family was no secret.

Zhao Xinhai, the eldest son of the Zhao family, had his leg broken.

Zhao Wuji, the Holy Realm Elder sent by the Zhao family to seek revenge, has mysteriously disappeared.

All of this is inextricably linked to Qin Yang!

However, these are just speculations.

One person, all alone, wiped out the entire Zhao family?

This is absolutely appalling and unbelievable!

...

Inside the study of the main residence in the Chen Family Manor.

Chen Yuqi held the latest intelligence she had received, her fingertips trembling slightly, her face deathly pale.

That thin piece of paper felt as heavy as a thousand pounds at that moment.

Every word above felt like a heavy hammer, striking her heart relentlessly.

The Zhao family... is it really gone?

Involuntarily, Qin Yang's cold, resolute face, yet exuding an aura of endless killing intent, appeared in her mind.

It must be him!

Who else but him could do something so shocking?

"No, I have to find out!"

Chen Yuqi suddenly stood up, unable to maintain her usual gentleness and composure.

She grabbed her coat and, without even saying goodbye to anyone, hurriedly left the manor, driving to the top-tier manor that Qin Yang was currently staying at, which originally belonged to the Sun family.

The car sped along.

Chen Yuqi's heart, like the scenery rushing past the window, was in complete turmoil.

She didn't know how she felt at that moment.

Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of the manor.

Unimpeded.

Qin Yang seemed to have anticipated her arrival.

Chen Yuqi took a deep breath, pushed open the car door, and strode into the magnificent building that had now changed hands.

The living room was empty.

She went straight to the master bedroom on the second floor.

The door was ajar, and Chen Yuqi gently pushed it open.

Qin Yang was standing with his back to her in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the tranquil lake view outside.

The light of dawn outlined his tall and straight figure, but it could not dispel the icy aura that seemed to emanate from him.

Hearing footsteps, Qin Yang did not turn around.

"They're here."

His voice was as calm as ever, devoid of any emotion.

It was as if the destruction of the Zhao family was nothing more than a speck of dust to him.

Chen Yuqi walked behind him, looking at his broad back. She moved her lips, but found her voice was a little dry.

"Qin Yang..."

She paused, then finally mustered her courage, her voice trembling slightly.

"Did you do the things that happened to the Zhao family?"

Qin Yang slowly turned around.

His gaze was as deep as the night sky, calmly fixed on Chen Yuqi's eyes, which were filled with complex emotions.

Neither admitted nor denied it.

He simply nodded slightly.

The movements were very light and slow.

But it was like a silent thunderclap that exploded in Chen Yuqi's heart!

It really is him!

He single-handedly wiped out the entire Zhao family!

Chen Yuqi felt a sudden dizziness and subconsciously took a step back, looking at Qin Yang in disbelief.

The expected sense of satisfaction from eliminating the enemy did not materialize at all.

Instead, a deeper fear and anxiety prevailed!

It wasn't fear of Qin Yang, but worry about the terrible consequences this matter would bring!

"How...how could you do this?"

Her voice was choked with sobs, and her eyes were slightly red.

"Qin Yang, do you know how big of a mess you've made?"

"The Zhao family is not the Sun family! They are different!"

Chen Yuqi said anxiously, her tone hurried.

"They are one of the eight great families of the East China Sea. The eight great families are closely connected and have countless ties and agreements with each other!"

"By destroying the Zhao family, you've stirred up a hornet's nest. The other seven major families will absolutely not let this go!"

Qin Yang's face remained expressionless.

It was as if the consequences Chen Yuqi had described, which would have terrified anyone, were utterly insignificant in his eyes.

"You're too impulsive! Too arrogant!"
