"Why can't they see us?"
Xiao Yang pointed at the people below, a question forming in his mind. Did that banner above their heads have such a powerful effect?
Yu Ruying explained, "This is a magical artifact that helps people escape by rendering them invisible."
"I spent countless precious materials and enlisted the help of a master artifact refiner to forge this artifact back then."
"So that's how it is. Cultivation is truly wonderful."
At this moment, Xiao Yang's heart was filled with longing for cultivation.
"You'll know how brutal cultivation is once you start."
Yu Ruying cruelly told him the reality of the cultivation world, "In the cultivation world where power is king, laws are useless. Only might makes right."
"I will definitely become stronger step by step, and then protect you."
Xiao Yang declared loudly, as if making a vow.
"I look forward to that day."
Yu Ruying smiled and looked towards the sky, accelerating their departure.
As for Xiao Yang, he was already captivated by her unparalleled beauty, dreaming of the day he could become her support.
...
"Please punish this subordinate for his failure to handle matters, Young Master Yun."
Si Jin Yan knelt on the ground, trembling. His own people had let the others go, allowing them to fly overhead.
In a more serious light, this was treason.
Zhao Yun Hai, however, showed no anger on his face. In fact, he was somewhat pleased.
The more this happened, the more "revenge points" he could accumulate.
The protagonist was like wave after wave of leeks, waiting for him to harvest.
However, a subordinate's incompetence must be punished, otherwise, who would take their duties seriously in the future?
"Go down and accept your punishment."
Zhao Yun Hai waved his hand, and Si Jin Yan, who was kneeling, breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as he could still serve Young Master Yun, he was willing to accept any punishment.
Ada watched Si Jin Yan go to receive his punishment and then suggested, "Young Master Yun, should I personally lead people to pursue them?"
"The opponent is seriously injured right now, which is the perfect opportunity to capture the pair."
Zhao Yun Hai shook his head, "Never mind, I cannot be without anyone by my side."
Ada bowed his head deeply, his heart filled with emotion. This was Young Master Yun's regard for him.
However, Zhao Yun Hai was actually worried that Ada would be sent to his death. He only said this to make Ada feel better.
After all, Ada had served him for so many years; he did not want to dampen his spirits.
"Alright, let's return to Ganzhou first. As for Xiao Yang and the others, have someone keep an eye on them. No need to act rashly for now."
Zhao Yun Hai was not afraid of things getting out of hand. He knew how to maintain control. So what if they were cultivators?
Based on their previous strength, they were no match for him.
Li Mingyi was already preparing to make a move. He had absolutely no good feelings towards Fusang.
As for why Li Mingyi had been gone for so long without achieving anything major, it was because Yumanlou needed some time to prepare.
Although Fusang was a small earthworm on the map, its economy was stably ranked internationally.
To enrich one group by annexing the economy of a country, to nourish one group by devouring the resources of a country.
This was Zhao Yun Hai's confidence in quickly expanding beyond Jiuzhou and becoming a major player internationally.
He had this plan when he founded Tiangong.
As Zhao Yun Hai boarded the plane, Wang Fan followed close behind.
"Why are you here too?"
Zhao Yun Hai looked at him in confusion. Wasn't this guy out on the streets doing fortune-telling every day?
He had heard that this guy had recently solved quite a few murder cases and found many missing children.
"I was afraid I'd miss out on Li Mingyi's big event. As a brother, although I won't be there, I must at least bear witness."
Wang Fan said righteously, patting his chest.
Zhao Yun Hai chuckled. This guy was probably just going to watch the commotion. He closed his eyes to rest, too lazy to bother with him.
Seeing that Zhao Yun Hai had closed his eyes and was ignoring him, Wang Fan skillfully went to find a private flight attendant to tell his fortune.
The fortune-telling was free, requiring only a glass of juice.
...
Meanwhile, Li Mingyi, bored in Fusang, decided to experience some local specialties.
He had to admit, Fusang's subway service was excellent. Li Mingyi rode it back and forth multiple times.
Such a unique place, Li Mingyi was truly reluctant to destroy it. Unfortunately, it was Fusang.
The exotic customs made Li Mingyi linger, but his mind remained clear.
He was waiting for a phone call. Once that call came, he could make his move.
Li Mingyi waited for another half day, and finally, the phone rang.
"Everything is arranged."
Yumanlou's voice came from the other end of the phone.
Li Mingyi did not speak, he quietly hung up.
...
Ganzhou.
Watching the satellite broadcast on the big screen from his sofa, Zhao Yun Hai was in Ganzhou.
Wang Fan sat on a separate armchair, cracking melon seeds. Suddenly, he became envious.
"Young Master Yun, that guy must be experiencing the local specialties."
"He's on a government-funded trip experiencing local customs. He must be severely punished when he returns."
Wang Fan wasn't envious at first. But after doing some calculations, he was shocked.
Li Mingyi had gone to Fusang, indulged in fine food and drink, experienced the local 'JK girls', and had 'experienced the sorrow of the electric train' countless times.
Damn it, those were experiences even I haven't had!
Wang Fan instantly felt that even the melon seeds didn't taste as good.
Zhao Yun Hai, eating watermelon, heard this and burst into laughter. "Hahaha... if you want to, it's not too late to go now."
"Forget it, forget it. I have my principles."
Wang Fan's expression shifted from eager desire to deflation in a second as he saw Young Master Yun's teasing gaze.
Never mind, Li Mingyi was not worthy of comparison to me. That guy has fallen.
Even so, Zhao Yun Hai could see the envy in Wang Fan's eyes.
So Zhao Yun Hai beckoned Ada over.
"Young Master Yun." Ada bowed his head and leaned closer.
Zhao Yun Hai whispered a few words in Ada's ear and then gestured for him to act.
Ada glanced at Wang Fan, who was still unaware, and left the hall.
In the satellite broadcast, Li Mingyi had reached the seaside. He slowly dived into the sea and disappeared.
An hour later, the coastline of Fusang began to visibly expand at an alarming rate.
Alarms immediately sounded, the coastline was cordoned off, and countless Fusang people panicked.
But Li Mingyi paid no mind. With a surge of power, he fully controlled the great waves to begin engulfing the land.
The foreign races harbored malicious intentions towards us.
Those who are not of our kind are bound to be different.
As a natural disaster struck, this was not something humans could prevent.
The tsunami was merciless. Under the wrath of nature, perhaps only a few would survive.
"This is awesome!"
Wang Fan exclaimed loudly, watching the "disaster movie" before him.
Zhao Yun Hai looked indifferently at this "disaster movie."
Beneath the tsunami, countless people were swallowed in their escape, but it did not stir a ripple in Zhao Yun Hai's heart.
