Chapter 667: How to Leave

They hadn't detonated the bomb because they were unsure of his trump cards. They planned to wait until he entered the hole, giving them a better chance of killing him.

Considering this, Ye Mo remained calm. He’d faced countless dangers in his cultivation, but never such encirclement.

Ye Mo knew that even at the Foundation Establishment state, he might not survive a full-scale explosion. His pursuers had overestimated him, choosing to wait until he entered the black hole before detonating the bombs.

Understanding this, Ye Mo cautiously entered the black hole.

…

Watching the screen, Huang Mei’s face fell. She saw the man with the detonator preparing to act.

“Qi Huan, he’s in! Do it!” the woman beside her urged, as Ye Mo disappeared inside.

Despite the bomb encirclement, they weren't certain of killing him.

Qi Huan stared at the screen. “Wait. Ten seconds after he’s completely inside. Then, no matter how strong he is, he’s dead.”

Huang Mei, standing at the back, touched the knife in her pocket. Though armed, she knew she was only the third strongest there.

The black hole was Northern Sand’s trap for the untraceable man—the man who kept Northern Sand on edge. The disappearance of two Extreme Energy Stones, the eerie events on the auction ship, and the vanished gold reserves of the Black Sun Empire and America all pointed to someone with incredible mobility.

Lu Lin had been the prime suspect for the Extreme Energy Stones, but that proved false.

Many suspected Ye Mo, but many dismissed it as impossible.

Seeing Ye Mo's figure, she realized he was indeed behind everything. Huang Mei was shocked at the advisor who’d correctly guessed Ye Mo’s identity and orchestrated these plans against him and Luo Yue.

According to the advisor, Ye Mo was not only involved with Luo Yue but was likely a City Lord, or even higher. The advisor’s goal was to expose this mysterious master.

Huang Mei lacked access to that level of information, but her own deductions, based on conversations and events, led her to the same conclusion.

If Ye Mo commanded Luo Yue, his death and the revelation of his identity must be avoided. Otherwise, her Luo Yue ambitions would be crushed. His death would cripple Luo Yue, and the discovery of Luo Yue’s theft of American gold would inevitably lead to war.

Huang Mei calculated her move. Once Ye Mo fully entered the black hole, the detonator operator would be most focused on the screen—the perfect moment to strike.

That moment arrived. As Ye Mo vanished, Huang Mei drew her dagger and gun.

Her attack was swift, but others reacted quickly. The moment she attacked, the woman beside her sensed danger and drew her own weapon.

Huang Mei knew she had to kill the woman, then the detonator operator. Any delay, and the bomb would explode.

As Huang Mei’s knife struck the detonator operator, her gun fired, taking down two people swiftly and unexpectedly.

She knew she’d be noticed. She couldn’t dodge bullets, but her cunning saved her. As she fired, she angled her body left, shooting the woman beside her simultaneously.

A bullet whizzed past her waist as her own found its mark in the woman’s chest.

Three dead, one injured. The surviving man, unaware of the conflict, reacted to the second gunshot. He lacked a gun, and instead of seeking one, he rushed to the fallen detonator operator.

Huang Mei shot him in the head instantly, but couldn't stop the explosion.

Watching the screen erupt in flames, Huang Mei sighed. “I tried, but I couldn’t do it all. Sorry, but I have to go.”

She bandaged her waist, cleaned the scene, wiped the cameras, and left. She knew escape was the most dangerous part.

…

Entering the black hole, Ye Mo immediately turned invisible and fled. His flying sword became a protective chi shield.

He reached the tunnel entrance in ten seconds.

The explosion hit, blasting him out with the debris. He swallowed two pills, but the force was immense, leaving him heavily injured.

He’d used all his chi to protect himself, but the barriers shattered, his meridians destroyed. Without those pills, his organs would have been destroyed too.

Rumble rumble—

Fire and ice mixed, exploding like fireworks.
