This young man before us must pay a price for his arrogance and disorder—at the very least, he must understand who the maintainers of order are in the Demon Sea.

Shen Chongshan made his move.

He did not use any fancy moves, nor did he mobilize any earth-shattering true energy.

This is the city center of the Demon Sea. There are still ordinary people in the café. He must keep the destruction to a minimum.

He took half a step forward, his right hand forming a sword shape with fingers together. At the tip of his finger was a highly compressed and condensed Foundation Establishment True Essence, which, with a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air, pierced straight at Ye Heng's chest acupoint.

This finger strike was as fast as lightning and incredibly precise, designed to instantly seal the opponent's vital energy, rendering them unable to move without causing serious internal injuries.

In Shen Zhongshan's view, this was more than enough to deal with Ye Heng.

However, just as his fingertips were about to touch Ye Heng's clothes—

Ye Heng raised his eyelids.

A massive, invisible force, like a corner of a sleeping ancient divine mountain suddenly awakened, pressed down on Shen Zhongshan with immense force.

Divine pressure!

The pure and vast divine consciousness, like an invisible sky, pressed down silently yet irresistibly, instantly enveloping Shen Chongshan!

"Varied……?!"

Shen Chongshan only had time for a single, horrified thought to flash through his mind before all his movements froze completely.

His outstretched finger froze in mid-air, just an inch from Ye Heng's chest, unable to advance any further.

At this moment, the surging true energy throughout his body was locked up by an indescribable, terrifying force.

Cold sweat instantly soaked through Shen Chongshan's inner shirt. His pupils contracted sharply as he stared at the excessively young face.

What... what kind of cultivation level is this?! Divine sense materializes, its pressure is like a prison! This is definitely not something a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator can do, and even a Golden Core stage cultivator might not have such a powerful divine sense!

Therefore... Jin Xuan obeyed him because he himself was an unparalleled powerhouse who stood atop the clouds and looked down upon all living beings!

I actually thought about teaching him a lesson?

All of this happened in the blink of an eye.

To outsiders, it appeared as if Shen Chongshan had simply pointed his finger aggressively, then froze just before it touched Ye Heng, his face contorted with indescribable horror and fear, cold sweat pouring down his forehead.

Lin Ruofei, who was still in shock from Qin Wu being blasted away, now widened her beautiful gray-blue eyes and stared in disbelief at the bizarre scene before her.

Although she didn't understand cultivation, her intuition was exceptionally sharp.

She could sense that the middle-aged man, who had just been furious and imposing, now had a change in his eyes, which had turned into horror and fear.

Qin Wu, who was slumped against the wall and in excruciating pain in his right arm, stood there dumbfounded.

He couldn't even get past this middle-aged man in one move.

But at this moment, this terrifying middle-aged man has turned into this appearance under Ye Heng's gaze alone?

So... who exactly is Ye Heng, this young man he has always looked down on and thought rose to power through connections?!

Qin Wu felt his worldview completely collapse at that moment, leaving only boundless fear and relief—relief that he had only attacked the middle-aged man and not Ye Heng directly…

Ye Heng slowly withdrew his gaze, and the vast divine sense that had enveloped Shen Chongshan receded like a tide, silently and without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

Shen Chongshan felt a sense of relief as the terrifying pressure that had been enough to freeze his soul disappeared. However, he felt his legs go weak and he could barely stand. He only managed to stay upright thanks to his willpower honed over many years of cultivation.

"Thank you for your mercy, senior!"

"I, Shen, was blind to your greatness, and my words and actions were offensive and rash. Please forgive me, senior."

Ye Heng nodded slightly, which was considered as accepting his apology.

"I will handle the matter of the Eclipse Moon," Ye Heng said bluntly.

"Their target is most likely Lin Ruofei's concert. Or rather, Lin Ruofei herself."

Shen Chongshan was startled and immediately pressed for an answer: "Why are you so certain, senior? The intelligence we've intercepted so far only indicates that they might be targeting large-scale public events, but the specific targets are still unknown..."

"My divine sense has detected some special remnants of true energy, although these remnants are very faint and have been there for a long time."

Ye Heng's gaze swept over Lin Ruofei, who was still in shock, and Qin Wu, who was barely managing to stand up.

"Therefore, Lin Ruofei's safety is the most important thing. I will be involved in the entire concert as her bodyguard. Jin Xuan will stay with Su Yingxue to prevent the other side from using diversionary tactics or attacking from other directions."

"Your mission, Demon Sea Spirit Group, is to cooperate with me in setting up perimeter surveillance, monitoring all suspicious movements, especially key nodes such as energy, ventilation, and communications, as well as investigating any new or unusual personnel who may have recently come into contact with the core area. Without my instructions, you must not act on your own, and you must not alert the enemy."

Shen Chongshan had no more doubts at this moment and immediately bowed and replied, "Yes! I will follow your instructions. I will return to the command post immediately to redeploy. All intelligence channels will be opened to you first, and the action team will be on standby at any time."

The anxiety and anger he had felt were now replaced by a mixture of awe and vague anticipation—with such an unfathomable powerhouse in charge, perhaps the crisis in the Demon Sea could truly be weathered safely.

Ye Heng said no more and waved his hand.

Shen Chongshan understood, bowed again, and quickly turned and left the coffee shop. His back view seemed somewhat hurried, a stark contrast to his aggressive demeanor when he arrived.

The store quieted down again, with only soft background music playing.

Lin Ruofei finally recovered from the series of shocks. She looked at Ye Heng, her gray-blue eyes filled with complex emotions—surprise, doubt, lingering fear, and a strange sense of security arising from absolute power that she herself was not fully aware of.

She opened her mouth, wanting to ask something, but found herself at a loss for words.

Ye Heng's gaze fell on her face: "Miss Lin, now do you believe I have the ability to ensure your safety?"

Lin Ruofei nodded quickly: "Of course, I believe Mr. Ye 100%, and I believe Qin Wu does too."

She looked at Qin Wu, who quickly agreed.

"That's right, senior, I will follow your lead!"

Ye Heng said to Lin Ruofei, "I will stay by your side until the concert ends."

"Your entire itinerary, the people you contact, and every aspect of the venues need to be confirmed by me. I hope you and your team can fully cooperate."

Lin Ruofei said, "I understand."

Then, glancing at Qin Wu beside her, who was pale and enduring pain, a hint of pity flashed in her eyes, but she still said to Ye Heng, "Qin Wu, he..."

"Let him come along," Ye Heng said calmly. "An extra person means extra protection. However, all actions must be carried out according to my orders."

He was not a narrow-minded person. Qin Wu's earlier offense was insignificant in his eyes. Keeping this person around would not only reassure Lin Ruofei and her father, but also provide an extra handyman when necessary—as long as he recognized his own position.
