CHAPTER 544: CHAPTER 543: FATHER-IN-LAW AND MOTHER-IN-LAW ARE STILL ALIVE! (PLEASE FOLLOW)

(Title: A Grand Gift, the Zi Family Was Overjoyed)

Xiao Ye spoke up and said, "Sister Qingcheng, is it possible to advance your realm right now?"

"Let’s just take him out directly!"

Gu Qingcheng analyzed the current situation and said, "It would not be wise to engage the Ouyang Imperial Clan Leader head-on right now, let’s return to the Zi Family first, Uncle and Aunt should be rescued in the next couple of days."

"That Divine Spirit behind the scenes is keeping a close eye on the Ouyang Imperial Clan Leader’s every move."

"If we act rashly, we may provoke that Divine Spirit, and if the Divine Spirit targets the Zi Family, the family would be utterly defenseless—they’d be wiped out in an instant!"

The Future Empress said in the Sea of Spirit, "That’s right, head back to the Zi Family first, and based on what happened in my previous life, although the Zi Family suffered some losses after this, their foundation remained intact."

"If we anger the Divine Spirit, the Zi Family is in real danger."

"Xiaogu, persuade your husband to return to the Zi Family first."

Xiao Ye glanced at the furious Yunxi and Yun Bing and said, "How about we go back to the Zi Family?"

"Father-in-law and Mother-in-law will surely be rescued, we need to think about the bigger picture."

*He felt quite torn, with Yunxi and Yun Bing on one side, and the Zi Family on the other.*

*Both sides were his Beast Girl’s family.*

*He could not destroy one family for the sake of the other.*

*If they returned to the Zi Family and let things play out, they could rescue Father-in-law and Mother-in-law, and the family wouldn’t be annihilated—this win-win outcome was no doubt the best possible choice.*

Gu Qingcheng said, "Xiaobing, Xiaoxi, I promise, I will personally rescue Uncle and Aunt—please, trust me."

"Right now, what we must do is get back to the Zi Family!"

Yunxi nodded and said, "Fine, let’s go back to the Zi Family first."

"Mom, Dad, we’ll get you out soon!"

Yun Bing said, "Forgive your useless daughter for not saving you right away, but please hold out a little longer, we’ll see you very soon!"

After that, the Space-Time Hall quietly floated away, unnoticed by anyone.

Once they left the Ouyang Imperial Race’s city, the Starry Sky Giant Beast carried the tiny palace, racing toward the Zi Family at great speed.

As soon as they arrived at the Zi Family’s territory, they heard the roar of battle.

Outside the Zi Family’s city, over twenty Saint Realm experts of the Ouyang Imperial Race were shouting wildly.

"Knock down the Zi Family’s city walls!"

"Hahaha, I’ve had it with the Zi Family for ages—now that the Clan Leader finally gave the order to attack, my time to shine is here."

"All you Zi Family trash, get your asses out here and face Grandpa!"

Over twenty terrifying attacks infused with Rule Power were tossed recklessly at the city wall.

The Saint Realm restriction outside the city wall was shattered layer by layer under their assault.

The once intact, imposing city wall was battered into ruins by wave after wave of attacks, and the city gate collapsed with a thunderous crash, reduced to rubble.

The board bearing the majestic inscription "Purple Family Sacred City" was completely obliterated in the barrage.

Above the ruined city wall, the faces of the Zi Family’s Saint Realm all flushed red with anger, their fists clenched tight as they roared,

"City Guardian Elder, I want them dead!"

"Yeah, they’ve really gone too far this time, let’s strike back and crush those bastards!"

"Aargh, I can’t stand it anymore—even if I break orders, I’m going to butcher them!"

"Elder, if not now, then when?"

Three or so Fifth-order Saint Realm experts from the Zi Family struck first, sending out a surge of Rule Power of Fate, smashing toward those cocky Saint Realm opponents of the Ouyang Family.

But a master at the Saint Realm-Perfection from the Ouyang Family casually swept their attack aside with a wave of his hand, mocking,

"Even after your city gate is down, you all still cower like this—Zi Family, you really are trash!"

He acted cocky and spoke with disdain, about to throw in a few more jabs.

The sky went dark!

A Starry Sky Giant Beast, blotting out the sun, appeared high above the Ouyang family’s Saint Realms.

The natural pressure of a Quasi-Emperor Realm at peak strength caused every Venerable and Saint Realm present in the Ouyang Imperial Race to turn pale with shock.

Terror. Utter terror!

*That kind of oppressive, immobilizing, deathly aura was at least Quasi-Emperor level!*

The Starry Sky Giant Beast’s eyes swept over the crowd, firing off a Gamma Ray that blasted through the saints like a hot knife through butter.

The instant the Ouyang Imperial Race’s Saint Realms and Venerable Realms touched the Gamma Ray, they vanished to ashes—nothing left, as dead as could be.

Above the ruins of the city wall, all the Zi Family’s Saint Realm experts were frozen in terror, hair standing on end.

The Starry Sky Giant Beast transformed into Jiang Xue’an, dressed in a broad-sleeved flowing immortal skirt. Her figure was tall and voluptuous, and a faint smile played across her stunningly beautiful face.

With one hand holding the Space-Time Hall and the other behind her back, she landed in front of the Zi Family’s Saint Realm crowd.

The Zi Family’s Saint Realms instantly retreated a step, bracing as if for a lethal enemy!

An elder, his hair streaked white, descended and bowed deeply in awe and respect, "Thank you, Senior, for saving us. May I ask what brings you to our Zi Family?"

Jiang Xue’an replied calmly, "I’m looking for Patriarch Zijia, Zi Dao."

The City Guardian Elder said a little nervously, "Senior, please follow me to the guest hall to wait—I’ll go inform the Patriarch right away."

Just then, a golden Light Gate appeared, and Xiao Ye, Ziran, and Huangfu Xiangling stepped out.

Wearing a purple robe, the pure and lovely Ziran smiled and said, "Elder, do you still recognize me?"

The City Guardian Elder blinked, thinking the pretty young woman looked familiar. Watching closely, his pupils shrank and he half-knelt, respectfully saying, "Welcome home, Saintess, to the Zi Family."

Up above, the Zi Family’s Saint Realms widened their eyes—wasn’t this the Zi Family Saintess who left for the Mortal Realm a thousand years ago?

They all descended and half-knelt, fists cupped, saying,

"Welcome home, Saintess, to the Zi Family!" "Welcome home, Saintess, to the Zi Family!" "..."

Ziran gazed around with nostalgia—the happy memories of her life here before eighteen flooded her mind. The corners of her rosy lips curled in a faint smile.

But when she saw the city gate, shattered beyond recognition, her face darkened and her good mood instantly vanished.

"Xiao Ye, Xiangling, let’s go inside."

Ziran took Xiao Ye up into the sky, speeding forward toward the Zi Family’s inner ring.

Jiang Xue’an stomped her foot angrily and said, "Sister Ziran, what about me? I know I’m not a human, but you’re a real dog for leaving me behind."

She blinked out of sight.

The Elder’s lips twitched—he wanted to say, flying is forbidden here—but watching those receding figures, he kept silent.

Ziran led Xiao Ye and the white-haired maiden to the Zi Family’s Holy Hall, where they met Zi Dao and his wife, along with ten Zi Family Elders.

Zi Dao and his wife were overjoyed, "Daughter, you finally decided to come back!"

Ziran rushed over, hugging them, and said complicatedly, "Dad, Mom, your daughter is home."

"And Xiao Ye—he’s here too."

"This white-haired one is my disciple, her name is Huangfu Xiangling."

The ten Elders’ eyes brightened with joy, but remembering the Ouyang Imperial Race’s invasion, their faces grew worried again.

Zi Dao laughed heartily and said, "Son-in-law, we meet again."

"Don’t forget our agreement."

"You promised me and Zi’er a granddaughter within a thousand years!"

Ziran let go and asked in confusion, "Xiao Ye, you’ve been here before?"

Xiao Ye nodded, "I came by earlier for some resources—never told you, though."

With that, he waved his hand.

In the vast hall’s open space, nearly ten thousand howling Ouyang Imperial Race collateral and direct descendants appeared.

Their faces were twisted in pain, eyes full of despair, letting out gut-wrenching screams of agony.

The ten Elders were shocked, their faces lighting up with delight. Excitedly, they said,

"Th-these, are the Ouyang Imperial Race’s core elite heirs?"

"Damn, their realms are all gone, their auras are a mess, their foundations crippled, hands and feet broken—a whole army of useless invalids!"

"And over two hundred disabled Saint Realms? Two crippled Quasi-Emperor Elders? Damn, that’s just insane."

Xiao Ye grinned and said, "Father-in-law, Mother-in-law, this is my gift to the Zi Family."
