The Xue family had never expected the Ye royal family to attack them in broad daylight, nor had they expected all the exits to be blocked. Even the secret escape passageway was no exception. There was no way to send anyone out.
Not only that, but the Xue family members hidden elsewhere in the Imperial City had also been pulled out and killed. Be it on the surface or in the dark, all of them had been eliminated without exception.
“Why has the family’s secret passageway been exposed? Why has the hidden faction been discovered? Why is the royal family so clear about our family’s secrets?” When the Xue family head rushed back, he realized that the people he was about to send away had all been killed. Many things had completely exceeded his expectations. This almost made him collapse, and his heart was filled with panic and even despair.
He knew that the Xue family could not escape this calamity.
If only they had built a good relationship with Xue Fanxin in the beginning, there might have been a chance to turn things around. However, from the beginning to the end, they had not taken Xue Fanxin seriously. Even if they knew that she was the Ninth Imperial Consort, they did not think that she could remain glorious for long. After all, it was impossible for a lowly person with no power or background to sit firmly in the position of the Ninth Imperial Consort. She would definitely lose favor soon.
However, they were wrong. They had been wrong from the beginning. They had underestimated how much the Ninth Lord doted on Xue Fanxin.
“Master, the Emperor has brought people to kill their way in. He has many experts by his side, all of whom are Saint Realm experts. Our people can’t stop them at all.” An elder of the Xue family hurriedly ran over to report the situation going on outside. However, just as he finished speaking, a group of Saint Realm experts charged in and broke through the last line of defense of the Xue family.
The Emperor walked in under the protection of a group of experts. He scanned the people inside coldly and finally turned his gaze to the Xue family head. He mocked him. “Your Xue family originally had a chance to reach the peak, but unfortunately, you missed it, so this is the outcome.”
“Does the Ye royal family really have to be so ruthless?” the Xue family head questioned.
“The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. There’s nothing to be ruthless about. Back then, when you helped the Empress, you should have known that such an outcome might happen. Actually, I don’t have that much hatred and anger for the Xue family. You can only blame yourselves for being tactless. You just had to provoke the Ninth Imperial Consort at this time and anger a certain someone. To be honest, even I don’t dare to provoke the Ninth Imperial Consort. You actually sent someone who has a grudge with the Ninth Imperial Consort to be a lobbyist. How ridiculous.”
If not for the Xue family courting death and offending Xue Fanxin, the Purple Cloud Tower would not have given him so much help. If he wanted to destroy the Xue family without their help, he would have probably had to spend a lot of effort. He might not have been able to completely destroy the Xue family.
In that case, he really should thank Xue Lianfeng.
The Xue family head finally understood, but he understood too late. “I see. I really shouldn’t have sent that idiot Xue Lianfeng to look for Xue Fanxin.”
He still knew a little about the grudges and entanglements between Xue Lianfeng and Xue Liantian, but he had not thought too much about it at the time.
“The four great families have existed for long enough, so it’s time for you to disappear.” The Emperor personally killed the Xue family head with one strike.
At the same time, the others attacked and killed everyone from the Xue family.
Even so, the Emperor was not at ease. “Continue searching. Don’t let anyone off. I want the Xue family to perish completely.”
It was rare for the Purple Cloud Tower to be willing to help him destroy the Xue family. He had to destroy them completely. Not only the Xue family in the Imperial City, but he would also not let go of the other branches of the Xue family.
“Your Majesty, the Xue family has basically been eliminated in the Imperial City, but it’s not easy to deal with two people. Xue Lianfeng and Xue Hanxi are still with the Ninth Imperial Consort, so…”
They did not need to consider Xue Lianfeng, because he would definitely die. However, Xue Hanxi was different. It was said that he had a good relationship with the Ninth Imperial Consort. He was probably not easy to kill, or maybe he was even impossible to kill.
