I am a high-level martial arts master.

Within Guangming, an invisible protective shield covered an area of ​​a hundred miles.

Within this protective shield, there is only entry and no exit.

This is a barrier set up by the Ji Kingdom to prevent the internal squads from fighting each other from being disturbed by the outside world.

Inside the barrier, as all the blood corpses died, the Guangming people who had been hiding emerged from the basement.

After such a calamity, the whole city was dressed in mourning, and everyone's face was filled with sorrow.

But in any case.

No matter how tragic it is, as long as people are alive, life must go on.

Such incidents are actually quite common throughout the Southern Territory.

It's just that disaster has befallen Guangming at this moment.

Among the stories carried by itinerant merchants, news of cities falling and kingdoms perishing often came.

It's like a country offending a powerful sect, leading to national tragedy.

The demon hides in a small country and turns the entire nation into puppets.

The demons of the East Sea descended upon the world and devoured everyone, young and old, throughout the entire nation.

The universe consists of the four directions, up and down.

The entire universe and its four regions are vast and boundless.

Such rumors of the fall of a country and the destruction of a city are not uncommon.

The struggles between nations and between peoples are endless.

For high-level martial artists, it's common for them to turn the world upside down in a fit of rage.

These people composed themselves, began to rebuild Guangming, repaired their damaged houses, and continued to live their lives.

Inside a luxurious courtyard with an antique charm.

Ye Li threw off the quilt, straightened his clothes, and felt refreshed.

For the past ten days or so, he has been practicing, fighting, and saving people without sleep or rest, without the slightest slackening.

Now that he was finally free from the oppressive cave, Ye Li relaxed and fell asleep immediately.

I slept for a whole day and night until I woke up, and my mind and eyes were immediately clear.

I pushed open the door, and the morning light was just beginning to break.

He took a deep breath of the air, which was filled with the scent of dust and new life. The fatigue and tension of the past few days vanished, leaving only a sense of vigorous power within his muscles and bones.

The next step is to cultivate a calm mind and open up all the orifices in your body as soon as possible.

As the young master of the Azure Dragon Gang, and having single-handedly killed Du Heyi, Ye Li's reputation had reached its peak in the entire Guangming region.

Things like governing the city are naturally not his responsibility.

For the next ten days or so, he only needed to focus on his cultivation and ignore external affairs.

The opening of the bone orifices is progressing steadily, and thirty-eight orifices have been reached so far.

The vital energy surges within the body, like a newly formed river, each cycle bringing subtle yet solid growth.

"Knock knock."

A soft knock sounded, and Wei Wanxi pushed the door open and entered.

Her plain white Taoist robe accentuated her figure, making her appear like a solitary crane.

After several days of rest, thanks to the miraculous effects of the Myriad Spirit Pill personally fed to her by Ye Li, her injuries had been fully healed, and her aura even appeared more refined and sharp.

But when those eyes, always clear and cold like a deep pool, looked at Ye Li, they would subconsciously recall the scene from that night.

Although Wei Wanxi was physically weak at the time, she was not unconscious and could clearly perceive every change in the effects of the Wanling Pill in her body.

After her injuries fully healed, she dared not see anyone.

The methods of the Ji Kingdom are so advanced that there is no need for herbs when one is sick; just like the main god, one is naturally healed with a flash of white light.

This also leads to the girl knowing very little about this aspect, feeling ashamed that this method is actually effective and that the human body is amazing.

He wanted to kill Ye Li, that lecherous scoundrel, but when he realized that the method was indeed effective and had actually saved his life, he had no choice but to reluctantly give up his killing intent.

Unable to let go of her grief, the girl stayed in her room for four or five days. Only with the help of [Dao Xin Tong Ming] (a Taoist master's guidance) did she manage to find some relief. But it was only a little relief.

Ye Li proved that even the most icy beauty has a soft body.

"Young Master Ye."

Wei Wanxi deliberately kept her voice calm:

Is there still no news about Yi Yangfan's whereabouts?

Ye Li slowly opened his eyes and his gaze fell on her.

The girl stood in the light and shadow by the door, the morning light outlining her slender yet upright figure. A few strands of black hair, not bound tightly by the hairpin, fell down beside her cheeks, adding to her unusual fragility.

She deliberately avoided eye contact with him, her jawline slightly tense, revealing her inner anxiety.

More than ten days have passed since the Battle of Guangming, but Yi Yangfan is still nowhere to be found.

She had intended to avoid Ye Li in these final days, to avoid the man who had cast a deep shadow over her.

But as long as Yi Yangfan lives, he will be unable to return and will be trapped in this small town.

Seeing the girl's anxious expression, Ye Li smiled faintly and said:

"Miss Wei, as you know, although Guangming is only a hundred miles away, if a person who intends to hide is buried three feet deep, it is not difficult to hide for a year or two."

"He can't escape Guangming anyway, so just wait for news. We'll find him in three to five years."

"Three to five years..."

Wei Wanxi's breath hitched. The thought of having to stay here for three to five years made the girl furious.

"Squeak"

The study door was pushed open with a light, quick motion, breaking the slightly tense atmosphere.

"Sir! Look what I've brought you!"

Jiang Xiyue, like a fluttering butterfly, lightly leaped in.

She carried an exquisite food box in her hand, her skirt swaying slightly with her movements, her face beaming with an undisguised smile, her eyes bright and clear, as if bringing the sunlight from outside into the room.

After taking in the situation inside the room, she paused slightly, her words tinged with wariness:

"Miss Wei is here too (What are you doing here???)"

Upon seeing the two women together in the same room, Ye Li immediately recalled the romance of that day.

That day, he personally fed the medicine, and with his peak level of internal energy control, he could even mentally construct a one-to-one model of the two women's buttocks. "Damn caterpillar, what's the point of having such a vivid imagination?"

Ye Li suppressed the delusions rising in his heart, and said with a calm and serene smile:

"Thank you for your help, Xiyue. Miss Wei wants to inquire about the whereabouts of the last foreigner. After all, only by killing him can this hundred-mile barrier be lifted so that she can go home."

"They've all called Xiyue."

Watching the couple's relationship rapidly heat up over the past ten days, one calling the other by their first name and the other by their nickname, Wei Wanxi felt a wave of saccharine disgust. "Oh~ I see!"

Jiang Xiyue placed the food box on Ye Li's desk and opened the lid naturally, releasing an enticing aroma of food.

As she took out several plates of delicate side dishes and a bowl of steaming soup, she nodded in agreement:

"Then we must kill him quickly and send Miss Wei back as soon as possible."

She shoved the chopsticks into Ye Li's hand: "Here, try some. I watched the head chef of Tianhao Hall make this myself, it's still warm." Ye Li obediently took it, picked up a piece of food, and put it in his mouth, savoring the burst of flavor. He exclaimed:

"Yes, the cooking time is just right, and the saltiness is just right. Thank you for your thoughtfulness, Xiyue."

"Of course!"

Jiang Xiyue's eyes crinkled with a smug smile as she casually sat down in the chair next to Ye Li, resting her chin on her hand, exuding a faint, sweet fragrance.

"I'm glad you like it, sir. How about I prepare a few new dishes for you tomorrow?"

Wei Wanxi stood aside, watching the two interact as if no one else was around.

One addressed the other as Xiyue, while the other called him "guest" affectionately.

Compared to Ye Li's distant attitude towards Wei, she felt like an outsider who had suddenly intruded.

The shameful scene of healing that day resurfaced uncontrollably once again.

It was this couple, one holding him down while the other fed him the elixir.

Her emotions were in turmoil, and her fingertips unconsciously caressed the tassel of the sword at her waist.

She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in her heart, and interrupted, her voice even colder and harder than before:

"Young Master Ye! The matter of Yi Yangfan is no child's play! As long as he remains, Guangming will never have peace, and I... will be unable to return! I urge you to take this matter seriously!"

Ye Li swallowed the food in his mouth and looked up to meet Wei Wanxi's gaze: "Miss Wei, rest assured, I know what I'm doing."

Deep in the dark cellar.

Yi Yangfan lay sprawled on the cold stone ground like a lump of mud.

His limbs were firmly locked by specially made iron chains, his collarbone was pierced by a steel chain, and all the meridians in his body were shattered by Zheng Tong's own hands, turning him into a complete cripple.

At this moment, his face no longer held any of the sinister scheming of the past, only a deep-seated fear and an incredulous bewilderment.

"How could this happen! How could this happen?"

Once Duhe recovered from his injuries, he merged his zombie body and blood zombie body into one, allowing him to switch between them at any time.

More than thirty post-natal blood corpses and thousands of tempered blood corpses served as consumption.

He also used a mind-controlling spell to bewitch most of his acquired mental state.

With so many advantages combined, how could the Flying Dragon possibly lose?

But that's just how it is.

Within the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the army suffered a crushing defeat.

One after another, bad news came that Yuanpan and Duhe had died and ascended to the Ji Kingdom.

Then, the group searched the entire city and captured Yi Yangfan, who was weakened and unable to cast spells for a short time, and imprisoned him in this underground dungeon. Yi Yangfan's limbs were shattered, and his martial arts were completely destroyed.

He didn't understand why those people didn't kill him; he could only stay miserably in this prison.

Outside the dungeon, Zheng Tong looked at Ye Li.

He didn't understand why his disciple had spared Yi Yangfan's life; wouldn't it have been better to just kill him with a single sword strike?

But out of respect for his apprentice's choice, he still said:

"Yi Yangfan is inside. You can ask him any questions you have. I haven't spread the news that he was arrested. People outside are still looking for him."

"Actually, it's not a big problem, just keep him alive."

Ye Li smiled and said:

"Master, find someone to keep him alive, and when the time comes, I will finish him off."

As Ye Li spoke, his expression was enigmatic.

As long as Yi Yangfan lives, the team battle cannot end, Guangming's protective shield cannot be broken, and Wei Wanxi will never be able to return to Ji Kingdom. At this moment, Ye Li suddenly remembered the story of "Cowherd and Weaver Girl" from his previous life.

The Cowherd stole the Weaver Girl's clothes, preventing her from returning to heaven, and thus imprisoned her for a sexual relationship.

Then, when her family in heaven found out, the Weaver Girl had already been impregnated by the spirited young man, the Cowherd, and had given birth to two children before returning home. At this moment, Wei Wanxi was being imprisoned by Ye Li in Guangming City.

If he really had something in mind, he would keep Yi Yangfan alive.

Wei Wanxi might really waste a hundred years here, and by the time she goes back, she could be a grandmother.

Of course, Ye Li is not without integrity.

It wasn't that I really wanted to drag it out for three or five years, get David Wanxi pregnant, and have his baby.

He was just temporarily delaying Wei Wanxi's return.

Let the girl return in ten days or half a month.
