As Xingyu left, Ye You looked at Ye Ling in a daze, "Brother, are we... going back now?"
Ye Ling scanned the venue with his divine sense, confirming that Xingyu had not left anything behind. He then said to Ye You, "There's probably nothing else here. Let's head back directly."
Ye Ling still had the power of the Primal Soul King to absorb, and now he also had the power of the Primal Chaos King to study. Things were piling up, and he needed considerable time to deal with them.
Ye You was also eager to go home and experience the new game. When Ye Ling suggested going home, she eagerly left the venue and rushed back to the Ye family manor.
On the way home, there were fewer pedestrians on the road. Even the usually crowded sections were now sparse with vehicles.
After the release of "Good and Evil's Judgment," most people had returned home to watch game livestreams and wait online for the game helmet lottery to begin.
As for those still on the streets, they were either unable to leave their jobs or had no interest in games at all.
Even though Stellar Entertainment Company had invested heavily in promotion and released a groundbreaking game, not everyone would like it.
And Xingyu's target audience was not those people.
"There are so few people on the road!"
Ye You exclaimed as she flew home, looking at the somewhat deserted city.
It was a scene of a thousand people emptying the streets.
As Ye You marveled, she and Ye Ling arrived outside the Ye family manor and found a large crowd gathered at the main entrance.
Seeing the large crowd at the entrance, Ye Ling smiled at Ye You, "Xiao You, it seems our home is quite lively... Who are they?"
Ye You scanned the people gathered at the entrance. After spotting a few familiar figures, a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes. She said, "They are some unorthodox individuals from the martial world. The sects behind them are usually involved in criminal activities. As the Martial Alliance Leader, my disciples from the Snow Hidden Sect naturally wouldn't stand by and watch those sects act recklessly. Over time, the Snow Hidden Sect has made enemies with those people."
"To annoy the Snow Hidden Sect, those sects even formed a rogue organization called the 'Heaven Shaking Alliance'."
"Since they've made enemies, why do they dare to come to our doorstep?" Ye Ling asked again.
Ye You replied, "Tomorrow is the day of the Martial Arts Convention. All unorthodox individuals are eligible to participate, and naturally, they are included."
"I suspect they've found some excuse to come and cause trouble for our Snow Hidden Sect today. Every time a Martial Arts Convention is held, they come to stir up trouble, ensuring our Snow Hidden Sect doesn't have a peaceful time. The key is that as the Martial Alliance Leader, I need to set an example and cannot simply kill them."
Speaking of this, Ye You sighed, "Alas... it's so troublesome, having to deal with these annoying matters."
Seeing Ye You's troubled expression, Ye Ling smiled, "Xiao You, go back to your room and play your game. I'll handle these bothersome matters for you."
"Really?" Ye You's eyes lit up upon hearing Ye Ling's words.
Ye Ling chuckled, "Of course. I'm not the Martial Alliance Leader, nor am I a member of your Snow Hidden Sect. Strictly speaking... I'm not even an unorthodox individual. No matter what I do, it won't affect the Snow Hidden Sect."
"Then it's all up to you, brother!" Ye You unhesitatingly handed over the troubles facing the Snow Hidden Sect to Ye Ling. "But brother, don't go too far. This is a peaceful era..."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Ye Ling said with a眯眼 smile. "If they are sensible, no one will die."
Of course, if they were not sensible, Ye Ling wouldn't mind fewer trash sects on Earth.
"That's good!"
Ye You had absolute faith in Ye Ling. She immediately took advantage of the fact that the unorthodox individuals at the manor entrance hadn't noticed her, bypassed the manor's back gate, and returned to her room. She eagerly turned on her computer, downloaded the game using the disc, and prepared to play!
Ye Ling smiled and shook his head as he saw Ye You's excited demeanor. Then, his gaze fell upon the unorthodox individuals in front of him, his eyes gradually shifting from gentle to cold.
Ye Ling slowly approached the crowd.
The unorthodox individuals blocking the manor entrance at this moment did not notice Ye Ling approaching.
A thin man, stooped in posture, wearing a blue cloth robe, with a sword on his back and a large mole on the corner of his mouth, stood at the forefront of the crowd. He looked at Feng Ke, who was standing at the entrance, and said with a smile, "Miss Feng, several of our sects have traveled from all corners of the land to Jiangcheng to participate in the Martial Arts Convention. As the host, your Snow Hidden Sect hasn't even arranged accommodation? What kind of conduct is this?"
"Now that a large number of our brothers from the Heaven Shaking Alliance have no place to stay, why hasn't your Snow Hidden Sect given up the manor for us to stay in?"
Hearing the thin man's words, Feng Ke's expression turned somewhat grim. "Li Sanyin, I must remind you. First, in past Martial Arts Conventions, each sect has always found their own accommodation. The Snow Hidden Sect is only responsible for providing the venue and has no obligation to arrange it for you!"
"Second, this year, the Snow Hidden Sect has specifically rented a building in the northern district of Jiangcheng to provide accommodation for unorthodox individuals from various regions, and naturally, it has been prepared for you. You can go there directly!"
"Third, this is the territory of the Snow Hidden Sect. If you continue to cause trouble, don't blame us for being impolite!"
*Zheng!!!*
As Feng Ke finished speaking, the disciples of the Snow Hidden Sect behind her also drew their swords, glaring at the crowd of unorthodox individuals.
"Oh, oh, oh! The dignified number one sect in the martial world, are you going to bully the weak and kill the disciples of our small sects in the street? If this gets out, what will others think?"
Li Sanyin smiled, completely unconcerned that Feng Ke would make a move, and continued, "We traveled thousands of miles to Jiangcheng, and you are comfortably living in a large manor, while we have to squeeze into hotels. What kind of talk is this?"
"Miss Feng, I see your manor is quite large. It shouldn't be a problem to give half of it to our Heaven Shaking Alliance members to live in!"
With the Martial Arts Convention imminent, they were guests. Moreover, Jiangcheng was a modern metropolis. If the Snow Hidden Sect dared to make a move and cause casualties, the Martial Arts Convention would be impossible to hold.
For the small sects, participating in the Martial Arts Convention had little meaning. After all, those with nothing to lose were not afraid of those with something to lose. If the Snow Hidden Sect made a move, they could extort a large sum from the Snow Hidden Sect!
Seeing Li Sanyin's nonchalant attitude, Feng Ke was so angry that her teeth itched. If she hadn't had to consider the sect's image, she would have already lopped off Li Sanyin's head with her sword.
However, the young and hot-blooded disciples of the Snow Hidden Sect behind Feng Ke could not tolerate it any longer. They said to Feng Ke, "Senior Sister, they are clearly trying to pick a fight. It's like this every Martial Arts Convention. We really don't need to indulge them!"
"Impossible!" Feng Ke shook her head slightly. "If it were any other time, it would be fine. But now, with the Martial Arts Convention about to begin, and seniors from major sects like Shu Mountain and Zhengyi Men already in Jiangcheng, we absolutely cannot act impulsively at this time and damage the reputation of the Snow Hidden Sect."
"Then we just have to endure it? Let them jump around?" The young disciples of the Snow Hidden Sect were extremely unconvinced.
Feng Ke was also in a difficult position. Just as she was thinking of a suitable reason to drive away these unorthodox individuals who had come to pick a fight, she heard Ye Ling's voice from the back of the crowd.
"Why are there so many pieces of trash gathered at the entrance of the Snow Hidden Sect? Has no one cleaned them up?"
"Uncle-Master?" Hearing Ye Ling's voice, Feng Ke's eyes lit up.
As if she had found a savior, she quickly looked towards the back of the crowd of unorthodox individuals.
Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, Li Sanyin was also displeased. He turned around and cursed, "Who has grown the gall to call our Heaven Shaking Alliance trash? Are you looking for death?"
All the unorthodox individuals turned their heads in unison. They saw Ye Ling standing behind them with a smile.
Ye Ling smiled at the crowd of unorthodox individuals and said, "I'm in a good mood today. If you trash can sort yourselves out and get to where you belong, I can let you go."
"But if you are not sensible, then I will have to remind you of the martial world from over a decade ago, during the Red Dust Pavilion era."
