The Ye Clan, hiding in the shadows, was certain that Ye Cang was the one who defeated the D-level magical beast after seeing Ye Cang.

Late at night, the Ye Clan used ultrasonic frequencies to block all sound waves between Huangjia Village and Luo Xinghe's residence.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Ye Clan took all the villagers away to an unknown location.

When dawn broke, Ye Cang got up and discovered that there wasn't even a dog left in the village.

"Brother Luo! Brother Luo, wake up quickly! Everyone in the village has disappeared!"

Luo Xinghe immediately sat up and checked the village with Ye Cang.

The two of them searched high and low for a long time, but couldn't find a single dog, let alone a chicken, duck, or goose.

Just as the two were worried, a banner hung on a hundred-year-old tree in Huangjia Village: Villagers are with the Ye Clan.

After Ye Cang and Luo Xinghe arrived near the Ye Clan's manor, they looked out and saw a vast open space outside the mansion, which was the training ground where the clan mustered its troops.

Ye Cang felt a sense of danger, fearing that Luo Xinghe would be implicated if a fight broke out later. "Brother Luo, you should find a place to hide. Leave the matter of saving the villagers to me."

Luo Xinghe immediately refused. "How can I do that, Brother Ye? How can I let you take the risk alone? We'll go together, we'll face it together!"

Arriving at the Ye Clan's reception hall, Luo Xinghe was clearly seeing such luxurious and grand decoration for the first time. The sofas and all the furniture in the room were all high-end goods.

For a moment, Luo Xinghe felt a little inferior and restrained.

But Ye Cang didn't care so much. He plopped down on the sofa, crossed his legs, and waited for the Ye Clan's leader to appear.

After a while, the Ye Clan's leader walked down from the second floor.

"Heh heh heh... Heroes have emerged since ancient times. I see that you two have extraordinary bearing and are highly skilled, you must be dragons among men. My name is Ye Xiaochen, and I am the owner of this mansion."

Ye Cang was not polite. "Bah! You old codger, do you know how to talk? What dragons among men? Who are you cursing? I can slaughter a dragon with one hand... What is a dragon? If you spout nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth apart right now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ambush soldiers lurking around the room raised their guns and aimed at Ye Cang and Luo Xinghe. Luo Xinghe was so frightened that his legs trembled. "Brother Ye, I know you're capable. But... our purpose today is to rescue the villagers."

Ye Cang ignored Luo Xinghe and looked around, saying, "Hey Ye, how about we make a bet?"

Ye Xiaochen said, "Sure, I'm very interested in gambling. Tell me, how do you want to bet?"

Ye Cang raised one finger and said, "One second, I only need one second. Next second... if you don't make them put away their guns, I guarantee they'll all die!"

Ye Xiaochen laughed loudly when he heard this.

Just after he had laughed twice... Ye Cang quickly flicked his arm, and his finger gently swiped, Guang Yan (light flame) swept across the heads of the people holding guns like a mad python.

Thump, thump... In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen gun-wielding people were all sent to their doom by Ye Cang.

"How is it, are you still laughing now? Let me tell you! If you hadn't imprisoned those villagers, just based on your arrogant look just now, I could have killed you then! Now I'll give you a chance, tell me! Where are the villagers?" Ye Cang instantly looked at Ye Xiaochen with a solemn expression.

Ye Xiaochen saw that Ye Cang was full of baleful aura and murderous intent.

So, Ye Xiaochen poured a glass of red wine and drank it all in one gulp. "You two... this isn't the attitude of someone asking for help... you..."

Before Ye Xiaochen could finish speaking, Ye Cang gently swiped his finger, and Guang Yan turned into a crescent moon, instantly cutting off the hand that Ye Xiaochen had just raised to hold the glass.

Pfft!

The severed arm instantly spurted out a lot of bright red blood, and Ye Xiaochen held his mutilated arm, rolling on the ground and wailing.

"I told you, don't be so arrogant in front of me! I told you, but you didn't listen, is it my fault?"

As soon as Ye Cang said this, Ye Xiaochen couldn't bear it any longer and simply stopped pretending. "Someone come! Hurry up! Kill them for me!"

Before reinforcements could arrive, Ye Cang activated his Domain Reading power, and time immediately froze.

Ye Cang grabbed Luo Xinghe and threw him out with force, "Brother Luo, you go first!"

After time stopped, Ye Xiaochen's subordinates hurriedly blocked him behind them.

Then, a C-level magical beast and two D-level magical beasts were released from the magical beast box.

When Ye Cang saw three magical beasts appear, he was just about to warm up.

The three magical beasts, seeing Ye Cang, seemed to see a plague god, and instantly fled without a trace with a swoosh.

Ye Cang chuckled and said, "I'll give you one more chance, release the villagers and I'll spare you."

Two or three seconds later, Ye Cang saw that none of these people were cooperating.

Then, he flicked his hand...

Boom!

Half of the mansion was instantly razed to the ground by Ye Cang.

Ye Xiaochen, as expected of a powerful clan vying for the world, seeing that no one could suppress Ye Cang, he hurriedly said, "Release them! I'll release them immediately!"

Before long, all the villagers were released.

After returning to Huangjia Village, the villagers simply treated Ye Cang as an honored guest. Luo Xinghe, who had originally pretended to slay magical beasts at the deserted graves, was gradually neglected by the villagers.

The evening breeze gently caressed, like idle flowing clouds. Wisps of clouds trailed across the night sky, like lines of melancholy wrinkles, covering the long sky.

Luo Xinghe alone looked up at the moon, the loss in his heart spreading but no one knew.

"Do you want to become a real hero?"

Luo Xinghe, hearing someone speaking behind his back, quickly looked back.

He saw a person with a face that seemed to be crying and laughing, wearing a black and white checkered top and trousers, like the pattern of a Go board.

"Who are you?" Luo Xinghe asked.

"Me? ...My name is Ming Wuhen (Trace of Fate)."
