The person was completely shrouded in a black robe, making it impossible to see their face.
Only a pair of scarlet eyes flickered uncertainly in the shadow of the hood.
"The night scouts are slowly approaching; are there any prey that have fallen into my trap?"
The strange man let out a grotesque laugh, his body twisting in an eerie way.
"So it was you, you wicked devil, who was causing all this trouble! Stop playing tricks!"
Ye Ming snorted coldly, pointing the tip of his sword directly at his opponent.
"You guys are really something, forcing me to show myself!"
The strange man spoke in a sinister tone, a hint of surprise flashing in his scarlet eyes.

"However, outsiders are still outsiders. On our turf, we still have to follow the rules!"
"Insolence! What foreigner? In all the myriad realms, where isn't my territory, Ye's territory!"
Ye Ming shouted loudly, and his swordplay suddenly became fierce.
"How arrogant! Since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The strange man grinned maliciously and flicked his sleeve.
Instantly, countless black rays burst forth, surging towards Ye Ming and his companion like a tidal wave!
"Sun Qianqian, watch out!"
Ye Ming let out a sharp shout, and his figure vanished abruptly.
The next moment, he appeared in front of Sun Qianqian, and the Tai Xuan Sword drew a dazzling sword light!
"cut!"
The black light and sword energy clashed, unleashing a deafening roar!
Countless shattered black rays turned into dust and vanished without a trace.
"What a fast sword!"
The strange man gasped, his expression changing slightly.
"It seems you guys are quite capable after all!"
"You dare to show off your mere empty tricks in front of me?"
Ye Ming sneered repeatedly and brandished his longsword.
"Now, I'll show you my true skills!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly leaped up, transforming into a golden light, and rushed straight towards the strange man!
The strange man remained calm and composed, and a long, black sword appeared out of thin air in his hand.
The blade emanated a sinister aura, and its edge shimmered with an eerie purple light.
"Well done! Let me see what an outsider can do!"
The strange man cackled and raised his knife to meet the attack.
In an instant, swords flashed and shadows danced, and the two figures entangled in mid-air, unable to gain the upper hand!
Sun Qianqian watched anxiously from the side, but dared not make a move for fear of accidentally hurting Ye Ming.
She could only secretly circulate her true energy, ready to provide support at any time.
The battle intensified, and the two moved at a speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye.
All that could be seen was a golden light and a black shadow colliding continuously in the void, stirring up waves of energy.
Finally, with a scream, the strange figure suddenly retreated.
A deep, bone-revealing wound was now visible on his right arm, from which bright red blood gushed.
"Damn it! You..."
The strange man's face was contorted with rage, his eyes bulging as if about to burst.
Ye Ming, however, stood calmly opposite him, the Tai Xuan Sword in his hand gleaming with the light of victory.
"How about that? Is this what you call the power of outsiders!"
Ye Ming said calmly, his eyes sharp as knives.
"Don't think you've won just like that! You can't easily provoke the Dark Night Clan!"
The strange man gritted his teeth and staggered backward.
"You just wait! The clan chief won't let you get away with this!"
Before he finished speaking, the strange man's figure vanished suddenly, leaving only a furious roar that echoed in the night sky.
Ye Ming sheathed his sword and smiled gently.
"The Dark Night Clan? Heh, things seem to be getting interesting."
Sun Qianqian ran up to him and asked with concern, "Brother Ye, are you alright?"
"It's alright. It's just a minor demon; it can't hurt me."
Ye Ming waved his hand, his eyes still burning with fighting spirit.
"The Dark Night Clan... that must be the force behind the city lord. It seems the demons of this world are somewhat different from what we imagined."
"Yes... I didn't expect them to be organized. I wonder how terrifying they are."
Sun Qianqian said with a worried expression, holding Ye Ming's hand tightly.
"Don't worry, I'm here, I won't let them wreak havoc on the world."
Ye Ming firmly gripped her hand, his eyes burning with intensity.
"However, right now, the most urgent task is to find out the city lord's background. Tomorrow, let's go to the city lord's mansion and see if we can find out anything."

"Okay, I will always believe in Brother Ye!"
Sun Qianqian nodded firmly, her delicate brows furrowed.
"But before that strange man left, he said that the clan chief would not let us off... Brother Ye, I'm afraid they will relentlessly pursue us and harm innocent people."
"It's alright. Preparation is key to success, and lack of preparation leads to failure. I have my own plans."
Ye Ming remained expressionless, as if he had everything under control.
"Rest assured, these demons are all under my control."
[Cao Xiaoman (Zombie World): Wow! Brother Ye Ming's move was absolutely amazing! One sword strike and he cleaved that monster's arm in two!]
[Chu Yanran (Tomb Raider World): That's right! Who can blame her for being a 'Peerless Sword Immortal'! Her swordsmanship is divine!]
[Ma Ling (from the world of "My Date with a Vampire"): The key point is that the monster also revealed the mastermind behind it all—the Dark Night Clan! That name doesn't sound like something amicable!]
[Enchantress (Soul Ring World): Yes, yes, yes! And their clan leader, that sounds even scarier! He seems like a big boss!]
[Shi Yue (Perfect World): Oh no, is Brother Ye Ming going to solo the boss? Although I believe in his strength, this is just too exciting!]
[Li Momo (The Return of the Condor Heroes): The more exciting, the better! Friends, let's give Brother Ye Ming a buff so he can overcome all obstacles and strike at the heart of the enemy!]
As night deepened, Sun Qianqian yawned.
"It's getting late, let's go back to the inn and rest. We still have to go to the city lord's mansion tomorrow."
"it is good."
Ye Ming nodded and took her hand.
"Come on, go to bed early. Get plenty of rest so you can face the unknown challenges tomorrow."
The two walked slowly down the quiet street, their figures gradually disappearing into the distance.
The moonlight, like water, stretched their shadows very long.
It's as if it's telling the story of a brand new adventure that's slowly unfolding.
Meanwhile, in the shadows, several pairs of eyes were watching them intently.
Saliva dripped from its gaping, blood-red mouth, and it was restless and agitated.
The chieftain of the Dark Night Clan is patiently waiting for the right opportunity.
He awaits the moment when his prey will walk right into his trap...
The next morning.
After having breakfast, Ye Ming and Sun Qianqian strode towards the City Lord's Mansion.
"Brother Ye, speaking of which, how are we supposed to see the city lord? We can't just barge in, can we?"
As they walked, Sun Qianqian suddenly asked.
Ye Ming smiled and took out a waist token from his pocket.
"Who said we had to force our way in? The shopkeeper gave me this before he left last night."
Sun Qianqian's eyes widened when she saw the waist tag.
"This is... a prison guard's sign?! Brother Ye, when did you...?"
"Hehe, I just took advantage of the chaos last night to steal something. With this, we can go in legitimately."
Ye Ming smiled smugly and clipped the waist tag to his waist.
"Remember, once you enter the city lord's mansion, you will be my adjutant. Behave with dignity."
"Yes, sir!"
Sun Qianqian gave a playful salute, which made Ye Ming burst into laughter.
As the two chatted and laughed, they arrived outside the city lord's mansion.
The towering city walls and imposing guards all testify to the power of their master.
"Halt! Who dares to trespass into the City Lord's Mansion!"
Two guards raised their spears and blocked their path.
Ye Ming calmly revealed his waist badge and said in a deep voice:
"Ye Ming, the special envoy of the Prison Warden, has been ordered to pay homage to the City Lord. Report this immediately!"
"So it's Lord Ye! My apologies for not recognizing you!" The guards quickly bowed and let them pass.
"Please come with me, I will take you to see the city lord."

Ye Ming nodded slightly, exchanged a glance with Sun Qianqian, and followed the guards into the city lord's mansion.
However, the atmosphere inside the mansion seemed somewhat strange.
The servants and attendants all had gloomy faces and empty eyes.
The passing maids, upon seeing them, merely bowed woodenly, devoid of any life.
"Brother Ye, don't you think the atmosphere here is a bit strange?"
Sun Qianqian couldn't help but lean closer and ask, her tone revealing unease.
Ye Ming nodded slightly, his brows furrowed.
"Hmm, everyone's like zombies, not a single one is normal. It seems this City Lord's Mansion is probably not so simple."
