"This..."
Seeing his full-force attack so nonchalantly erased by Ye Ming, Zhong Fengya's mind went blank.
What kind of power was this?
In the arena, it wasn't just Zhong Fengya whose worldview was shattered; everyone else felt the same.
Lin Fengxuan trembled inexplicably after witnessing this scene, a primal fear emanating from the depths of his soul.
It was as if a higher being was suppressing a lower one across dimensions.
Even more disheveled was Zhong Wuhen.
He couldn't believe what was happening before his eyes; it seemed as though the heavens were playing a cruel joke on him.
Zhong Fengya's strength had always been his source of confidence. But now, his confidence had been easily shattered by someone else.
His faith crumbled along with it.
This sudden blow caused him to stumble backward, his eyes vacant as he stared at the terrifying figure before him.
*Thump!*
He collapsed directly onto the ground, unable to get up again.
"Yue Mian, do you think I should have been a bit more subtle?" Ye Ming asked, smiling as he looked at the few stunned individuals in the arena.
"Pfft!"
Hearing this, Du Yue Mian pursed her lips and smiled, unsure of what to say.
"Forget it! Let's go!"
This group, including Zhong Wuhen, wasn't worthy of his further attention.
After Ye Ming left, Lin Fengxuan glanced at the box containing the Scarlet Heart Fruit on the ground. After a moment's hesitation, he left with Lin Cangyun and the Left Protector.
He did not take the box.
...
*Knock knock!*
A series of crisp knocks reached Du Xiaoqing's ears.
"Sister Yue Mian, it must be Sister Yue Mian back!"
Hearing the sound, Du Xiaoqing, who was worried about Du Yue Mian's safety, hurried to open the door.
But upon opening it, she froze.
She saw a young man holding a somewhat weak woman.
"You scumbag, why are you here?" Du Xiaoqing then noticed Du Yue Mian in Ye Ming's arms and questioned loudly, "What did you do to Sister Yue Mian?"
"???" Ye Ming was bewildered.
Scumbag?
Since when did he acquire such a title?
"Xiao Qing, stop talking nonsense!"
At this moment, Du Yue Mian in his arms glared at Du Xiaoqing irritably.
"Ah! I..."
"No 'ah' or 'I'! Hurry up and move aside, your Sister Yue Mian needs to rest!" Ye Ming said with some helplessness.
"Oh!"
Du Xiaoqing stepped aside, allowing Ye Ming to pass.
However, for some reason, as Ye Ming and Du Xiaoqing passed each other, he felt a surprising resistance.
Yet, why was it also somewhat soft?
Ye Ming looked back and saw that Du Xiaoqing had already lowered her head, a blush spreading across her small face.
"Uh! This... this hallway is too narrow!"
Finally, Ye Ming found his explanation.
Half an hour later.
Ye Ming once again adjusted Du Yue Mian's injuries, after which she was no longer in serious trouble.
At this point, Du Yue Mian had fallen asleep.
"Th-that, God... no, this..."
Du Xiaoqing, about to ask Ye Ming about Du Yue Mian's condition, was suddenly at a loss for how to address him.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing the adorable and naive Du Xiaoqing before him, Ye Ming found it amusing. "You can call me Gongzi too!"
"Oh! Alright!"
Having learned the gist of the situation, Du Xiaoqing asked a little nervously, "Sister Yue Mian she..."
"Don't worry! Take good care of her, and she'll be fine after a few days of rest." Ye Ming stood up.
"I'm leaving."
There were still some matters that required his attention.
...
As soon as Ye Ming returned to the Nangong Courtyard, Du Li Sha was already waiting.
"Gongzi, the person has been rescued."
"Good!"
Ye Ming did not ask for details, but instead inquired, "Were there any innocent casualties during this incident?"
Although he had his own objectives, it was best to minimize harm to the citizens if possible.
"Reporting to Gongzi, because we had arranged for several Shadow Divine Attendants to monitor everything from the shadows, there were no casualties." Du Li Sha replied truthfully. "It only caused some panic."
Previously, Ying Qian Shi had not only brought the Shadow Divine Guards but also most of the Shadow Divine Attendants.
"Very good! It seems our first step has been successfully taken." Ye Ming was satisfied. "There should be quite a few eyewitnesses uploading videos from this incident, right?"
"That's correct! Li Cun Yi, following the original plan, fled towards the city center with Daoxin Yu. Therefore, many eyewitnesses and surveillance cameras captured images of martial artists fighting."
"Mm! Next, we just need to wait for things to ferment for a while." Ye Ming was not rushing, but steadying his pace.
"Tell Ying to prepare. Once today is over, we will begin the next phase of our plan!"
"Yes! Lord Ying has already sent word that they are ready and only awaiting our command!" Du Li Sha's eyes gleamed with fervor.
At this moment, she could already imagine the immense shock that would erupt by this time tomorrow.
And the scope of this earthquake would far exceed everyone's imagination.
"Mm!"
Ye Ming glanced around, not seeing a certain lively figure. "Where is Qian Yu?"
"Ma... no, Miss Qian Yu has gone to be with her parents!" Du Li Sha was momentarily flustered.
"Mm?" Ye Ming was slightly puzzled but paid it no mind.
It turned out that Nangong Qian Yu felt the title "Consort" was a bit awkward, so she asked Du Li Sha to simply call her Qian Yu.
However, Du Li Sha ultimately added "Miss" to show respect.
"Ye Ming, you're finally back."
At this moment, Nangong Qian Yu came running with light steps, naturally linking her arm with Ye Ming's, and asked with a sweet smile, "When are you going to broadcast today?"
It seemed she no longer needed to hide anything.
Feeling the warmth from her arm, Ye Ming also enjoyed it and replied with a smile, "Let's go now! Have you chosen a restaurant yet?"
"Of course!" she said with a proud smile. "This time I chose a century-old establishment – Chun Feng Ju."
"Good!"
Ye Ming turned to Du Li Sha. "Now that Yue Mian is back, you continue to guide her!"
After this incident, Ye Ming believed that Du Yue Mian would perfectly embark on the path of immortal cultivation.
"Yes!" Du Li Sha retreated.
Ye Ming and Nangong Qian Yu then headed to Chun Feng Ju.
...
At the same moment, on the internet, dozens of strange videos suddenly emerged. In these videos, numerous incredible scenes appeared.
Among them were exaggerated movements like scaling walls and leaping ten meters in a single step.
Even some of the fight scenes depicted astonishing abilities such as shattering the ground with a single punch and injuring opponents from a distance.
As soon as these videos were released, they instantly sparked heated discussions among countless netizens. Some, in an attempt to prove the authenticity of the videos, specifically found many eyewitnesses who confirmed that the content in the videos was not fake.
In an instant, a deluge of comments swept across the entire internet.
