Soon, they arrived at a luxurious hall.
The palace gates were tightly closed, and a dozen fully armed guards stood watch in front of them.
"Lord City Lord, Lord Ye requests an audience!"
The guards bowed and shouted, their voices echoing in front of the hall.
After a long while, a languid voice echoed from inside the hall:
"Oh? Lord Ye? Let him in."
The palace doors slowly opened, and a sinister aura rushed out.
Ye Ming took Sun Qianqian's hand and stepped inside.
Inside the main hall, the candlelight was dim and the incense burner emitted a fragrant mist.
A figure sat high on the throne of the city lord in the very center.
The man was wearing a black brocade robe and a jade crown, obscuring his face.
"Lord Ye, what brings you here from afar? May I ask what brings you here?"
The city lord asked lazily, his tone full of disdain.
Ye Ming bowed respectfully and said in a deep voice:
"I have come here on orders from the prison warden to investigate a case. Has the city lord heard of the recent spate of disappearances of young women and children in the city?"
Upon hearing this, the city lord's body trembled slightly.
“I have indeed heard about this matter. However, the disappearance of young girls and children is a matter of people’s livelihood and has nothing to do with the prison ward.”
"Hmph, a missing person case, isn't that a huge case? How can the prison warden stand idly by?"
Ye Ming snorted coldly, his gaze sharp as lightning.
"Furthermore, I personally witnessed a strange man in black robes lurking in the city last night, and he is likely involved in the disappearance of young women and children!"
"Oh? The strange man in the black robe?"
The city lord looked surprised, but quickly regained his composure.
"Lord Ye has keen insight, even uncovering this matter. However, I am not entirely clear about the identity of the black-robed stranger."
"Hmph, how can the lord of a city be completely unaware of such a disgraceful affair under his rule? Isn't that strange?"
Ye Ming pressed on relentlessly, his tone aggressive.
"Could it be that the city lord has some kind of relationship with that strange man in black robes?"
"How dare you! This is outrageous!"
The city lord flew into a rage and slammed his hand on the armrest of his chair.
"Ye Ming, how dare you, a mere prison clerk, act so insolently on my territory?! Believe me or not, I'll have you beheaded right now!"
"Hahaha! Your true colors have been revealed!"
Ye Ming laughed loudly, completely unafraid.
"I knew it! You, the city lord, are no good! You're just like that black-robed monster!"
"Indeed, it seems I can't hide it from you anymore."
The city lord smiled sinisterly and waved his hand.
Instantly, countless black-clad guards emerged from the shadows inside the hall, surrounding Ye Ming and Sun Qianqian!
"Ye Ming, now that you know our secret, don't blame me for being ruthless! Today, I will make sure your soul is scattered and you are never reincarnated!"
"Just you? You're not worthy!"
Ye Ming sneered repeatedly, and in a flash, he had already darted in front of the city lord!
The Tai Xuan Sword was drawn, its cold light flashing!
"Prepare to die, you demon!"
The city lord's expression changed, and he hurriedly raised his hand to block.
With a crisp "ding," an iron bracelet-like object appeared on the city lord's wrist, blocking Ye Ming's sword!
...

"Hehe, this is a protective talisman forged from the reverse scale of an ancient demon beast. How could you possibly break it?"
The city lord grinned maliciously and suddenly slammed his palm down.
The palm strike was fierce and its momentum terrifying!
Ye Ming frowned and suddenly retreated, barely avoiding the palm strike.
The city lord's figure also underwent a terrifying change in that instant!
His skin quickly darkened, his eyes turned an eerie green, and two sharp fangs sprouted from his mouth!
"My God! He's a vampire!"
Sun Qianqian exclaimed in surprise, her beautiful eyes widening in shock.
"Hahaha! Not bad! I am the progenitor of the Night Clan, the Fallen Lord Balthazar! You humans will all become my food!"
The city lord, no, it was Barthaze, who laughed maniacally, his voice as chilling as ice.
"The Dark Night Clan, so you're a bunch of evil blood-sucking creatures! No wonder you've been kidnapping girls and children like this, it's all for your blood!"
Ye Ming suddenly realized what was happening and was filled with righteous indignation.
"You fiend! Today I will act on behalf of Heaven and slay you, you bloodsucking evil spirit!"
"Hahaha! You think you can do anything? Come on! Let me see what you're capable of!"
Barthaze spread his arms wide, his black robes fluttering in the wind.
The next moment, he transformed into a black shadow and pounced straight at Ye Ming!
It moved with lightning speed, and its eyes emitted a terrifying green light!
At the same time, countless black-clad guards swarmed forward, their sharp blades like a forest!
Sun Qianqian let out a delicate shout, drew her soft sword, and protected Ye Ming's back.
With a series of sharp, ringing sounds, like a blooming lotus flower, the enemy was forced to retreat!
Meanwhile, Ye Ming and Bassazé were already locked in a fierce battle in the main hall!
The two figures were like phantoms, sometimes their swords flashed across nineteen provinces, and sometimes their demonic shadows were ever-changing, making it difficult to distinguish between them!
"Hahaha! Not bad! You've got some real skills, kid!"
Barsaze was overjoyed, his face contorted with rage.
"However, you can't beat me after all! Take this!"
He suddenly slapped out with his palm, and a faint purple light shone from his palm.
"Soul-Shattering Palm!"
A flash of purple light appeared, and Ye Ming felt a tightness in his chest, a strange sense of sorrow welling up in his heart.
It was as if I had witnessed countless lives being tragically lost, and there was no hope left in the world!
"Damn it! I've fallen victim to his Soul Shattering Technique!"
Ye Ming's face turned pale, and his heart trembled violently.
"Hahaha! This Soul-Shattering Palm is a perfect counter to people like you who are loyal and righteous! Let's see how long you can last!"
Barsaze laughed triumphantly and pressed his advantage.
Black shadows darted about, purple light flashed, and Ye Ming was forced to retreat step by step, his face ashen.
"Brother Ye!"
Sun Qianqian shouted and flew to block Ye Ming's path.
"Don't hurt my Brother Ye!"
She thrust her sword forward, the tip aimed directly at Bassazé's throat!
"Hmph, mind your own business!"
Barsaze snorted and glared.
In an instant, a green light shot out!
Sun Qianqian only felt a blur before her eyes, and before she could see clearly, she was sent flying!
She let out a sharp cry, spat out a mouthful of blood, clutched her chest with her delicate hand, and turned deathly pale.
"Qian'er!"
Ye Ming was shocked and leaped into his arms to catch Sun Qianqian.
With one arm around the beauty and the other gripping his sword, pointing it at Balthazar, his eyes blazing with fury, he exuded an imposing aura.
Bassar cackled, his sharp fangs reflecting eerie beams of light.
"Ye Ming, your weakness is your affection for those around you!"
"Today I will make you watch your beloved die right before your eyes, and experience the pain of my Dark Night Clan being wiped out!"
His face was contorted with rage, and with a gulp, the blood from Sun Qianqian's wound flowed into his mouth like a wisp of silk!
...

Sun Qianqian's face was deathly pale, and her breathing was weak; she was clearly on the verge of death.
Ye Ming saw it all, felt the pain in his heart, and felt a surge of anger about to erupt from his chest!
His eyes were bloodshot, and he roared, "Barthaze! I will fight you to the death!"
Before he finished speaking, he released a surge of spiritual power, which transformed into thousands of rays of light that swept over his entire body!
When the Nine Revolutions Mystic Art was activated to its limit, his robes fluttered without wind, and starlight shone brightly above his head!
An earth-shattering aura erupted from him, causing the mountains and rivers within a hundred miles to change color!
Barthaze also sensed an unprecedented crisis, and his pupils constricted.
But he refused to back down, and with outstretched arms, summoned countless undead warriors of the Night Clan.
The hall was instantly filled with demonic energy, a foul wind blew, and black mist billowed as the mighty army of the Dark Night Clan surged forth!
A resolute glint flashed in Ye Ming's eyes.
He lifted Sun Qianqian by the waist and kissed her forehead.
"Qian'er, wait for me carefully, I'll be right back."
After saying this, he gently put Sun Qianqian down, turned to face Bassaz, and pointed the Tai Xuan Sword diagonally at the sky.
"Barthaze, you've forced me to use my ultimate move! Take this, Nine Revolutions Heavenly Profound Technique!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Ming's entire body shone with golden light, his aura was astonishing!
The Tai Xuan Sword in his hand spun rapidly, transforming into a golden disc, with bursts of sword energy surging forth, chilling and deadly!
"What?! This kid actually possesses such earth-shattering supernatural abilities?!"
Barthaze was terrified; his purple robes fluttered, and black mist swirled around him.
He let out a fierce roar, and his hands transformed into sharp claws, grabbing fiercely at Ye Ming!
The two sides were locked in a fierce battle inside the hall, exchanging blows and finding it difficult to gain the upper hand!
Ye Ming's sword energy was unstoppable and invincible, but Balthazar, relying on his protective talisman, never lost ground!
During the stalemate, Barsaze suddenly let out a sinister laugh.
