As the night passed, it was dawn.
Madam He led a group of people away.
Meanwhile, Shen Qingshan stayed behind with a few others.
Old Dowager Shen hesitated but eventually went over to Madam He’s side.
Shen Ye, once the Shen Family’s prodigy, did not go to his mother’s side, nor did he stand by Shen Qingshan.
Deep into the dense forest, Shen Ye walked straight in.
He had no intention of returning to Shen Mansion or relying on the protection his brother Shen Ao provided.
Those pieces of information had already spread far and wide.
In nearly five days, the whole of Great Wei was aware of the matter.
Currently, the Imperial Court of Great Wei was trying its best to consolidate its powers.
Their concern about the Southern Heaven Continent might be greater than that of other sect forces.
Previously, the Imperial Court of Great Wei was the largest beneficiary group.
Now, with changing circumstances, the distribution of past benefits would change accordingly, and so-called redistribution essentially involved seizing the interests of the Great Wei’s Imperial Court.
Before, the Great Wei’s Imperial Court had little understanding of the Southern Heaven Continent.
Among the scarce information, You Wanying’s massacre at Xiaoyao Peak made the Imperial Court fear the Southern Heaven Continent’s forces even more.
In face of other forces encroaching on their interests, the court mostly chose to endure.
But now, the Great Wei’s Imperial Court felt that their previous decisions had been too conservative.
The forces from the Southern Heaven Continent couldn’t easily send someone to overturn Great Wei.
At least, it would take someone of You Wanying’s caliber to do so.
Shen Han’s actions that day gave the court courage.
It also inspired numerous sects and forces in Great Wei to muster the courage to stand up.
Before this clash, no one could have predicted such an outcome.
To many, this battle should have been another show of force by the Southern Heaven Continent, by Tiger Peak Manor.
Yet, it was entirely opposite to what they imagined.
Though the event took place in Great Wei, the killing of Tiger Peak Manor’s core disciple was no small matter.
If one were to personify Tiger Peak Manor,
it would be a madman one must never provoke.
If you break one of its fingers, it would chop your hand off.
If you dare to cut off its hand, it would reduce you to mince.
Yu Yan’s death soon spread across the Southern Heaven Continent.
All sects knew that Tiger Peak Manor was on the verge of madness again.
At such a time, it was best to have no involvement with them whatsoever.
When they heard that Yu Yan died in a remote place, these sects from the Southern Heaven Continent were somewhat surprised.
After all, numerous sects on the Southern Heaven Continent wouldn’t dare to provoke Tiger Peak Manor.
Even Tiger Peak Manor’s guards wouldn’t be harmed by anyone.
Yet, in such a remote place within Great Wei, someone from Tiger Peak Manor was killed...
In the perilous sea, nothing happened, but a boat capsized in a small river.
Many predicted that this time, Tiger Peak Manor’s madness might be exceptionally terrifying.
With each generation, Tiger Peak Manor recruited only a few disciples.
Generally speaking, just a handful,
and all were people of extraordinary talent.
Once recruited into the manor, they were treated as their own.
It could be said that the manor’s disciples were treated like their own sons and daughters.
Yu Yan died, their "own daughter" died.
In hundreds of years, this was probably the first core disciple from Tiger Peak Manor to die tragically.
The anger would be difficult to quell.
At Qianjin Hall, Tang Chenyang and Qianmu Fan had already been confined.
Elder Ding, as Honored Guest Elder, was also penalized.
In the attic, Qianjin Hall’s Grand Elder frowned, his face full of worries.
And in front of him, sitting right there was Elder Ding.
