“What? Ye Mo is already in Hang Shui?” Feng Neng looked at Fang Kuan in disbelief. The boat to the mortal side left ten days ago and was still at sea. How could Ye Mo be in Hang Shui already? Could he fly?

Fang Kuan nodded, his expression equally strange. After a moment’s thought, he said, “Big Brother, he annihilated many sects in a single day. How did he do it? I assumed he had a flying pet, but it seems he can fly himself.”

“He can really fly?” Feng Neng was even more shocked than Fang Kuan. At the great heaven tertiary stage, he knew how difficult flight was. He’d heard that even those surpassing great heaven could only glide a few kilometers at most.

Feng Neng quickly understood Fang Kuan’s meaning and looked at him excitedly.

Fang Kuan nodded. “Big Brother, once we have him, we disable him first. If I’m not mistaken, there’s a shocking secret about Ye Mo. He’s under thirty, yet he slaughters great heaven masters and can fly. This suggests he doesn’t cultivate ancient martial arts.”

Feng Neng breathed deeply. This was the answer he sought. He’d feared Ye Mo, but now those fears could be set aside. If he obtained Ye Mo’s cultivation method, what would he become? Could he dominate the hidden sects, or even the entire Magical Continent? Feng Neng dared not dwell on the thought.

But Fang Kuan continued, “However, I’m not the only one who noticed this. Elder Feng from Ice Lake must have noticed it too. Given her intelligence and selfishness, she wouldn’t openly defy the hidden sects to save Mu Xiaoyun, yet she did.”

“Brother Fang, what do you mean?” Feng Neng asked excitedly.

Fang Kuan sneered. “Big Brother, Elder Feng realized Ye Mo doesn’t cultivate ancient martial arts, so she guessed Mu Xiaoyun was cultivating what Ye Mo taught her. Therefore, she took Mu Xiaoyun away to learn it. Ye Mo hasn't found Mu Xiaoyun because she’s either hidden or dead.”

“Big Brother, we can’t win without taking risks! We have Ji Mei. We can easily obtain this wealth, so we can’t give up. I propose sending Ji Mei to Hang Shui with Blue Condor,” Fang Kuan said.

Feng Neng nodded without hesitation. “We have a resting tower at sea. Blue Condor should reach the other side in a day. But we must also go to Hang Shui immediately. I think Ye Mo obtained something ancient. He’s incredibly lucky to find such a cultivation method.”

Fang Kuan smiled. “Big Brother, no matter how many methods he’s got, they’ll all be ours in the end.”

…

Ye Mo stayed at the hotel for three days. On the fourth, he prepared to leave Hang Shui. There was no point in staying longer.

As he reached the hotel door, he saw a vicious man chasing a woman in rough clothes. The man wielded a bamboo whip, cursing, “Bitch, how dare you run!”

He whipped the woman, who howled in pain and fell at the hotel door. No one intervened.

Ye Mo frowned. Despite the dirt and hair obscuring her face, she was strikingly beautiful.

The man approached, whip raised.

Just as Ye Mo was about to ask what was happening, a man in a blue shirt stepped out, stopping him. “Friend, why are you so cruel to a weak woman?”

The man stopped, looking coldly at the man in blue. “I’m beating a woman I bought. What’s it to you? Move, or I’ll beat you too.”

The man in blue smiled faintly. Suddenly, the bamboo whip was in his hand, reduced to dust with a rub.

Everyone was shocked. He was at least earth level to do that.

The man, shocked by the blue-shirted man’s power, stammered, “Just because you’re strong, you rob me?”

The man in blue sneered. “She’s clearly human, yet you call her your possession? How much did you spend?”

“Fifty—no, I didn’t spend gold coins.” The man looked worried.

The man in blue tossed him five gold coins. “Take this and leave. Another second, and I won’t blame myself.”

The man, stunned by the killing intent, fled with the money. The onlookers laughed and dispersed.

The woman crawled up, bowing to the man in blue. “Ji Mei thanks you for saving my life!”

Her voice was clear, but melancholic. Many wept with sympathy.

Ji Mei hadn’t expected to be saved—things hadn't gone as planned.

Seeing her reminded Ye Mo of Mu Xiaoyun. He shook his head and left the hotel.

Ji Mei seemed weak, unable to stand after speaking.

As Ye Mo walked, Ji Mei fell in his path. A faint scent reached his nose. Ye Mo frowned, stepping back and hooking her with his leg.

Ji Mei quickly rose, worriedly saying, “Big Brother, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it. Thank you. I, I—”

Ye Mo looked more closely, truly shocked by her beauty. She was even more alluring than Mu Xiaoyun, possessing a delicate fragility. Her downcast eyes were seductive. The coarse clothes couldn't hide her extraordinary beauty. The messy hair added a captivating air. Her figure was also striking.

Fifty gold coins? Ye Mo was astonished.

Ji Mei was surprised. She’d intended for Ye Mo to see her face, expecting lustful advances, but saw only shock in his eyes.
