Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 676 Chaos (3)_1

"How the tables have turned! Once, I could only look up to you, dreaming of becoming a Shangguan Family princess. But now, I have become a Ye Family princess—the daughter of Ye Family’s Master. Tomorrow, my father, Ye Family’s Master, will take control of this world. I will be the one and only princess of this nation, and indeed, the entire international stage. For all this, I really must thank my dear sister."

"Hahaha, I am truly delighted. I, Shangguan Rou, could actually have such a day."

"When Daddy captures my dear sister, I’ll ensure you die quickly, guaranteeing you a painless death. As for your physical body, we won’t let it go to waste; it will feed these hungry creatures. I believe they will gently savor you bit by bit, reveling in the delicious taste of my sister." A cruel sneer flashed across Ye Rou’s delicate features. She had become more ruthless than she was yesterday. She reveled in the feeling of supremacy, the awe she inspired in others. She might be weak, but she now had a formidable father, Ye Family’s Master; it was an era where one’s father’s prowess was everything.

Previously, she didn’t have such a powerful father, so she hated Shangguan You. But now, with her formidable father granting her supreme power and high status, she was thoroughly enjoying this life. Once, she was known only by her immediate circle, but now she believed that soon the entire country, maybe even the whole world, would know her—Ye Rou.

Ye Family’s Master’s one and only daughter.

Yet, she still harbored hatred for Shangguan You. If it weren’t for her, she wouldn’t have become what she was now. Just last night, Ye Family’s Master had thoroughly destroyed her, making her painfully aware of this world’s brutality. She had watched, eyes wide, as people fell one by one at his feet. Their corpses were then used to feed insects, and she saw the bugs multiply rapidly, swarming over her body in increasing numbers.

Even now, thinking back, Ye Rou’s heart still trembled with intense fear. She had thought she would die. However, Ye Family’s Master had declared that she, Ye Rou, was his only daughter. Even if everyone else in the world perished, Ye Rou would not die; as long as Ye Family’s Master lived, Ye Rou would live well. At his words, the insects had indeed calmed, even licking her hands. Because of what Ye Family’s Master had said, she had survived.

Whether she admitted it or not, Ye Family’s Master’s blood ran through her veins. Regardless of her wishes, she had to walk this path. "Shangguan Hao, if you kneel and beg now, I might spare your life." Li Wanying stood beside Ye Rou, laughing constantly in the camera frame, her laughter filled with triumph. Now, the Li Family elder had assumed a leadership position, controlling countless individuals who were all obedient to him.

The Li Family elder, already with one foot in the grave, had once again risen to power, and his resurgence brought the entire Li Family into arrogant prominence alongside him. However, this was confined to their Li Family; the Li Family of the Hidden World Village had not participated in these events.

"Hmph, when one man attains Tao, even his pets ascend to heaven," Shangguan You scoffed, her lips curling as she watched the Li mother and daughter swagger on the TV screen. She was curious to see how Ye Family’s Master’s brutal nature would unfold. Perhaps Ye Rou wouldn’t need to die, but the Li Family definitely wouldn’t survive past tomorrow’s sunrise. Right now, Elder Li was somewhat useful; otherwise, Ye Family’s Master would have already annihilated a hundred Li Families.

"Commander!" An excited voice rang out, drawing everyone’s attention again. In came the highest-ranking commander, Secretary Bai, Vice-Chairman Fang, and a group of bodyguards. This group of people, who would normally carry an air of superiority, now appeared utterly disheveled.

"Well done, Ye Family’s Master, Li Family, very impressive," the highest-ranking commander trembled, his body shaking with rage. He had seen what had happened and knew all too well the chaos outside from his journey here. Had it not been for the protection of Ye Family’s second son and the four Young Masters, he might not have made it here alive. Those people wouldn’t care about his rank or power; they were attacking anyone on sight. Even with his significant authority, he was utterly powerless now; his position was merely titular, unable to command anyone.

"Shangguan You, keep hiding if you like. I will broadcast every incident happening everywhere, in real time. Then you’ll see how many people become Ye Family’s Master’s followers each day. See you tonight, hahaha," Ye Family’s Master’s arrogant voice resonated from the TV again, followed by a change in the footage, showing civil wars breaking out across various cities, regions, and countries...

A loud BANG shook the Shen Mansion’s villa, startling Shangguan You.

"What’s going on?" Shangguan Qing reacted quickly, rushing to support Shangguan Zhi while asking, his body swayed. The ground seemed to quake as if an earthquake had struck. However, the tremor lasted only a few seconds before ceasing.

"No. Grandfather, everyone head to the rooms upstairs. No matter what happens, do not come down. Luo Xiao, you’re in charge of their safety. Don’t worry; nothing will happen here. Go quickly," Shangguan You said gravely, her voice laden with an indescribable weight.

"Child, what on earth has happened? With everyone gathered here, there’s no reason to hide. Besides, our current situation doesn’t allow us to do so," Shangguan Zhi stated firmly. He was determined not to let her face danger alone while they hid.

"Grandfather, they’re trying to breach the gateway to this plane. I fear Mother alone can’t hold them back. If you stay here, you won’t be helping Mother; instead, your presence would only distract us, as we’d have to divide our energy to protect you as well," Shangguan You explained with a wry smile, understanding Shangguan Zhi’s intent. But the Commander, the members of the Luo Family, Yu Family, and Zhang Family—all of them ordinary humans—couldn’t be of help. They might even inadvertently make things worse.

"I understand. Commander, Elder Luo, all of you who are over fifty, go upstairs with the Commander-in-Chief and ensure his safety. Seek refuge there. The rest stay here. Secretary Bai, execute this order immediately!" Shangguan Zhi commanded loudly.

"Elder Zhi, what is the meaning of this?"

"Go now, and no matter what, don’t come down. Grandfather Luo, you go too," Shangguan You urged, unable to wait any longer. With rapid hand seals, she cast an Obedience Curse, directing it toward the various leaders.
