Since they couldn't reveal the location of the Dark Clan, there was only one way left.
They would have to go back with them.
This way, Ye Ming could also find the whereabouts of the Dark Clan.
"I will go with you all to the Dark Clan. Any objections?"
Ye Ming's gaze was icy. While the killing intent on him had faded slightly, it still left people with a lingering sense of dread.
"We dare not!"
Su Xin said quickly.
In fact, upon hearing that Ye Ming wanted to return to the Dark Clan with them, not only would she not object, but she would actively cooperate.
For them, being able to bring Ye Ming back would not only serve as an explanation for Long Ming's death but would also count as them bringing back a "Rebel."
Such a good thing, how could Su Xin refuse?
Beyond this, whether she harbored any other intentions was unknown.
As for whether the people of the Dark Clan could suppress Ye Ming when the time came, that was not their concern.
"Very good! You will stay in the capital for a day, and then return to the Dark Clan tomorrow!" Ye Ming said in a commanding tone. "I will come find you then!"
As for whether Su Xin and the others would try to escape?
Ye Ming was not worried about this at all.
Su Xin was a smart person and naturally wouldn't make such a foolish choice.
"Yes!"
After receiving their reply, Ye Ming's figure vanished into the air before their eyes.
As soon as Ye Ming left, the tension in everyone's nerves instantly relaxed.
Qin Yuan even collapsed onto the ground.
"Sis... Sis Xin! Are we really going to take him back to the Dark Clan?" Thinking of the terrifying strength of that mysterious young man, Qin Yuan's legs trembled uncontrollably.
"Isn't this good?"
Su Xin smiled gently, appearing quite pleased.
Seeing Su Xin's expression, Qin Yuan almost doubted his own eyes. "This... Sis Xin! Are you feverish?"
For Qin Yuan, Ye Ming was undoubtedly a ticking time bomb. If he were to detonate within the clan, things would become troublesome.
This was no joking matter!
But Qin Yuan's words earned him a leg sweep from Su Xin.
*Bang!*
"Ah!"
After a cry of pain, he was kicked flying.
Xia Zhi Qiu shook his head helplessly at the scene.
Truly, he brought this upon himself.
...
After parting ways with Su Xin and the others, Ye Ming returned to the Shangguan Clan.
After briefly explaining the situation, he left.
As for Su Xin's hidden motives, Ye Ming didn't pay much attention. For him, as long as he could find any trace of Shangguan Xi'er, this trip would be worthwhile.
However, due to a certain reason, Ye Ming actually didn't wish to interact with the Dark Clan so soon.
But this unexpected turn of events had caught him somewhat off guard.
"What must be faced will be faced sooner or later!" Ye Ming sighed softly and said, "Perhaps this is fate!"
...
Returning to the villa purchased by Ying Qian Shi, Nangong Qian Yu was already back.
When she saw Ye Ming return alone, she sensed the melancholy emanating from him. Not only that, but within that melancholy, she also felt a deep sense of self-reproach.
"Ye Ming! Did something happen?"
She quickly stood up. Seeing the hidden sorrow in Ye Ming's eyes, she felt heartache.
If he told her directly, something big must have happened.
Seeing Nangong Qian Yu, Ye Ming forced a smile. "Don't worry! You should know my strength, shouldn't you?"
But the more Ye Ming said this, the more Nangong Qian Yu could feel the heaviness in his heart.
"Ye Ming! Tell me, okay?"
Nangong Qian Yu gently caressed Ye Ming's face, her voice trembling slightly. "You know, ever since we cultivated that set of techniques together, I could also feel your pain! So..." Her eyes reddened at this point. "So let me bear it with you, okay?"
She could feel that Ye Ming had been suppressing his emotions.
A very sad emotion.
At this moment, Ye Ming seemed very fragile, so fragile that Nangong Qian Yu feared he would shatter with a touch.
"Qian Yu! I... I'm sorry!"
Ye Ming gently hugged her, burying his head in her hair, and said hoarsely, "The young man from the Wolf Clan not only failed to bring back the sick woman. But also..." His voice began to tremble at this point. "He lost her!"
Yes!
He lost her with his own hands!
Upon hearing this, Nangong Qian Yu said softly, "Since you lost her, then we will find her back together!"
It doesn't matter!
I'll accompany you!
And so, the two found solace in each other's embrace.
...
"Where are you taking me?"
Thousands of kilometers away from the capital, a woman in a white dress looked at the figure in front of her and asked softly.
The woman's features were beautiful and exceedingly pure. Even without makeup, she was stunning.
But what drew the most attention was not her appearance, but the inherent affinity that radiated from her at all times.
With just one glance, it seemed impossible to harbor any thought of harming her.
It was as if the heavens had bestowed all their gentleness upon this woman.
And the person in front of her wore a ghost mask, which was somewhat frightening, yet also mysterious.
"Hehehe! Little girl! Don't worry, this old man will absolutely not harm you!"
The masked figure turned around, appearing very happy. He even did a few jumps, quite comical and humorous.
"Little girl! Let me tell you! You have no idea how powerful you are! No! You are not powerful now, but you will definitely be very powerful in the future!"
The masked figure's words were disjointed, and Shangguan Xi'er had no idea what he was trying to convey.
"Then... Senior! If you are taking me away, you must at least let me say goodbye to my family! Otherwise, they will worry a lot!" Shangguan Xi'er put on an expression of pitiful vulnerability, making one's defenses crumble.
Seeing this, the masked figure quickly turned away, not daring to meet Shangguan Xi'er's gaze, fearing he might fall prey to the young girl.
"No! This is not allowed!"
The masked figure shook his head repeatedly. "When we were in the capital, I sensed a very terrifying aura! If we go back, this old man won't be able to escape!"
He then said proudly, "Hehehe! Fortunately, I ran fast! Otherwise, I would have definitely been discovered by the other party!"
Thinking of this, the masked figure chuckled. "Not only that, but it also allowed me to discover a great talent like you! Tsk tsk tsk! Heaven has not been unfair to me!"
Hearing this, Shangguan Xi'er was left with no other options.
"Then Senior! You must at least tell me where you are taking me, right?" Shangguan Xi'er pretended to be angry.
Along the way, she had come to understand the masked figure's personality.
As long as she didn't mention returning to the capital, he would agree to almost anything.
"Alright! I can tell you that!"
At this moment, the masked figure, uncharacteristically, became serious and said solemnly:
"I am taking you to... a land beyond the world!"
