"Qianyu! Let me show you something!"
Ye Ming looked at the kind girl before him, understanding what she was thinking. He then extended a finger and placed it on her brow.
With his other hand, Ye Ming pointed at the members of the Green Shadow Sect still held captive by him.
"Soul Reading Technique!"
Ye Ming was reading their memories and sharing them into Nangong Qianyu's mind.
Following this, scenes began to appear.
After watching for less than a minute, Nangong Qianyu's expression suddenly changed. Her eyes turned icy and sharp, filled with a fierce killing intent.
"Truly a bunch of damned beasts!"
Black energy emanated from Nangong Qianyu's palm as she wished to obliterate the people before her on the spot.
"Sigh!"
Ye Ming withdrew his hand, preventing Nangong Qianyu from watching further. He knew how immense the impact of those scenes would be on her.
"Qianyu! The strength possessed by these people from the outer realms is something ordinary people cannot contend with! Thus, with their absolute power, they look down upon everyone with a condescending attitude." His voice gradually turned cold as he spoke. "Therefore, I am not surprised by their actions."
Not being surprised, however, did not mean he was not furious.
"Ye Ming! They all deserve to die! I will kill them!"
Nangong Qianyu controlled the devouring energy coalescing in her hand. This was the first time she had harbored the intention to kill.
The scenes she had just witnessed ignited an uncontrollable rage within her, as a woman.
"Kill them? No! That would be too easy for them!"
Ye Ming shook his head and grinned wickedly, "Isn't it better to let them fall from their high-and-mighty status to mere ants that can be trampled upon at will?"
Ye Ming never showed mercy to those who had lost their humanity.
Especially since they had intended to forcibly abduct Nangong Qianyu.
"Okay! I'll listen to you!"
Although Nangong Qianyu wanted to kill them directly, as Ye Ming said, that was too lenient.
"Release!"
Ye Ming released his restraint on the Green Shadow Sect members and others, even separating a strand of his power to support their bodies.
Otherwise, having lost their cultivation, they would likely fall from this height of hundreds of meters.
"I... what... what is this?"
"My cultivation! Where has my cultivation gone!"
"Ah! My power! My Primordial Energy! Why can't I feel the Primordial Energy? Why?"
"No! This... this isn't real?"
"..."
The Green Shadow Sect members, upon realizing what had happened, immediately discovered their bodies were empty, devoid of even a trace of energy.
An unprecedented fear and unease instantly took root in their hearts, spreading wildly as their faces turned ashen.
"You... what have you done to us?"
At this moment, they finally noticed the man and woman before them. The memories from before slowly resurfaced in their minds.
Nangong Qianyu's reaction was nothing but disgust, with killing intent that she could not conceal in her eyes.
"Don't worry! I won't kill you!"
Ye Ming flashed his alluring smile once more and gently waved his hand, the power supporting the Green Shadow Sect members' bodies slowly dissipating.
"No... don't!"
Feeling their bodies plummeting downwards, the young man, who was the young sect master, turned ashen and screamed.
The others were no different.
A few seconds later, their figures disappeared from Ye Ming and Nangong Qianyu's sight.
"They won't be directly smashed to death, will they?" Nangong Qianyu asked.
"Don't worry! My control over power is quite precise!"
Ye Ming smiled and said, "I guarantee they'll at most be half-paralyzed, but their lives will definitely be preserved!"
"Good! That's for the best!"
Hearing this, Nangong Qianyu's mood improved considerably. "Let's go! It's time for us to return!"
"Alright!"
...
The next morning, a supernatural event was suddenly reported on a morning news broadcast in Baier, Gaoqiao Country, sparking much speculation.
"Did you hear? Early this morning, for some reason, many people on the streets were found to be paralyzed from the waist down. It's extremely bizarre."
"Yes! I heard too! There were about a dozen of them. And I also learned that their mental state seemed unstable, and they were taken away by people from the nearby mental hospital."
"Ah! That's too terrifying, could it be some kind of terrorist attack?"
"Who knows?"
"..."
Meanwhile, at Hope's Home.
"How is it? Have you adjusted?"
Ye Ming asked, looking at Nangong Qianyu as she emerged from her meditative state with a smile.
"I've adapted!"
Nangong Qianyu extended her small hand, and a wisp of devouring energy materialized in her palm. With her will, it began to move in the air.
"It seems very obedient now, showing no resistance to me!"
Ye Ming felt relieved seeing this. He had, of course, guessed some of the reasons why the devouring energy was so docile.
"Qianyu! Although you can control it now, you must still be cautious. After all, this fellow isn't entirely well-behaved!"
Ye Ming still cautioned her in the end.
Nangong Qianyu still had his Reincarnation Power within her body. If he were to retrieve it now, the devouring energy might not be as well-behaved. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Yes! I'll be careful!"
Nangong Qianyu had personally experienced the terror of the devouring energy yesterday, and she would not let such a thing happen again.
"Oh right! My appointment with Lei Te is approaching, do you want to come with me?"
At this moment, Ye Ming suddenly remembered his appointment with Lei Te, the fourth seat elder of the Black Tower, in the Other Shore Village.
The other party had already reported his request to meet the leader of the Black Tower. The outcome would only be known after they met.
"Never mind! I still need to consolidate my cultivation. You go by yourself!"
Nangong Qianyu shook her head.
She could still feel that the power within her body was somewhat restless, requiring time to settle.
"Alright! After this matter is settled, we'll head to the next destination!"
Ye Ming nodded and asked Nangong Qianyu to remain in the room. As for himself, he flickered and vanished from his spot.
...
"Sir! We meet again!"
When Ye Ming reappeared before the ordinary bar, the bartender mixing drinks at the counter noticed him immediately.
That bartender was the one who had guided Ye Ming into the Other Shore Village the previous day.
"What a coincidence!"
Ye Ming nodded at him, a relaxed smile on his face.
"Please!"
The bartender stepped forward and, as before, led Ye Ming towards the Other Shore Village.
The other bartenders nearby cast envious glances.
A few minutes later.
Ye Ming and the bartender emerged from the elevator.
"Sir! I wish you a pleasant stay..."
But before the bartender could finish his words, a scream suddenly erupted from ahead.
"Ah! Yue... Young Master Yue! I've already resigned, please... please spare me!"
