Yuan Mu Ye didn't say much about this; it's normal for people to fear death.

　　However, Yuan Mu Ye wasn't sure if Ouyang Qingming was really in the villa. What if this kid was just trying to fool him, and he ended up empty-handed?

　　No, he couldn't just let him go like that!

　　"Alright!"

　　After Yuan Mu Ye agreed, he used *hua di wei lao* (drawing a circle on the ground as a prison) on Chen Henan.

　　Chen Henan's eyes widened in surprise when he realized he was trapped. He looked at Yuan Mu Ye incredulously and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

　　"Don't worry, this only lasts for ten minutes. As long as Ouyang Qingming is inside, you can leave after ten minutes, and no one will notice," Yuan Mu Ye said calmly, then headed straight for the villa.

　　Chen Henan frowned, watching Yuan Mu Ye's back with a complicated expression.

　　He certainly wouldn't dare to shout at a time like this.

　　Yuan Mu Ye arrived at the villa's entrance and rang the doorbell.

　　After a moment, a man in a suit came from the courtyard, glanced at Yuan Mu Ye, and asked, "Who are you?"

　　"I'm looking for Ouyang Qingming," Yuan Mu Ye said directly.

　　The man in the suit narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze a bit strange, and then tentatively asked, "Are you Yuan Mu Ye?"

　　"Yes," Yuan Mu Ye admitted directly.

　　The man in the suit didn't say anything, just opened the door and let him in.

　　Yuan Mu Ye was quite surprised by this, but then he thought that Ouyang Qingming must have expected him to come, which was why he was acting this way.

　　Yuan Mu Ye followed the man in the suit into the villa, taking in the surroundings at the same time.

　　At times like these, he had to be extra careful.

　　Once inside, Yuan Mu Ye saw Ouyang Qingming sitting on the sofa, along with Shangguan Hao and the old man.

　　When Ouyang Qingming saw Yuan Mu Ye, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said calmly, "You came earlier than I expected."

　　Sure enough, this guy knew he would come.

　　Yuan Mu Ye walked over, and without any preamble, asked about the ghost siege.

　　Ouyang Qingming didn't hide anything and admitted it directly.

　　"That's right, I was the one who ordered them to attack the city today."

　　Ouyang Qingming felt that the Supernatural Bureau couldn't stop those ghosts at all. He had set the time randomly, wanting to catch them off guard.

　　Yuan Mu Ye laughed. He suddenly felt that the person in front of him was even more terrifying than the ghosts.

　　There was a saying that was indeed true: ghosts are always ghosts, but people are not always people.

　　"What are you laughing at?" Ouyang Qingming looked at Yuan Mu Ye with a surprised expression. He didn't know what was so funny.

　　Yuan Mu Ye glanced at him coldly and said, "Ouyang Qingming, you will pay the price for everything you've done today!"

　　After speaking, he looked at Shangguan Hao and Old Ji.

　　Shangguan Hao was still a bit afraid of Yuan Mu Ye, so when Yuan Mu Ye looked at him, he subconsciously avoided his gaze.

　　As for Old Ji, he was already eager to make a move.

　　"Oh? Tell me how."

　　Ouyang Qingming hadn't yet realized the seriousness of the situation.

　　While Old Ji and the others hadn't made a move yet, Yuan Mu Ye immediately used *hua di wei lao* to trap them.

　　Although he couldn't trap them for too long, a few minutes would be enough.

　　By the time Old Ji and Shangguan Hao reacted, they were already trapped.

　　Seeing this scene, Ouyang Qingming couldn't laugh anymore.

　　Old Ji being trapped meant that there was no one in the villa who could protect him.

　　"What... what did you do to them?" A hint of fear appeared in Ouyang Qingming's eyes.

　　Yuan Mu Ye didn't say anything. He walked directly in front of him, grabbed his hand, and walked him outside.

　　Ouyang Qingming wanted to break free, but his strength was too weak to do so. As for the others in the villa, they wanted to step forward and stop Yuan Mu Ye, but they were no match for him at all.

　　Yuan Mu Ye only used the Freezing Palm slightly, and they were helpless.

　　"Yuan Mu Ye, where are you taking me? I advise you to let me go, otherwise, when the ghosts really attack, you will die a miserable death," Ouyang Qingming said, cursing.

　　Yuan Mu Ye responded indifferently, "Then I will definitely drag you down with me!"

　　With that, he took Ouyang Qingming to the city gate.

　　The reason Yuan Mu Ye had come to bring Ouyang Qingming was because Ouyang Qingming was in league with those ghosts. By using Ouyang Qingming as a hostage, even if Cloud City was about to fall, with this hostage, those ghosts wouldn't be too ruthless.

　　Of course, if those ghosts didn't care about Ouyang Qingming at all, then Yuan Mu Ye couldn't do anything about it.

　　To put it bluntly, Ouyang Qingming might just be their pawn.

　　But no matter what, it was always good to have a backup plan.

　　"Yuan Mu Ye, why do you have to be against me? If you are willing to cooperate with me, your future will definitely be limitless. Maybe I will even hand over the entire Cloud City to you to manage."

　　Ouyang Qingming tried to negotiate with Yuan Mu Ye.

　　Yuan Mu Ye wasn't a fool. How could he not know what Ouyang Qingming was thinking? Besides, he didn't care about money or status at all.

　　Unless he lost his conscience, he would never do such a thing.

　　"Ouyang Qingming, don't take yourself too seriously!" Yuan Mu Ye said coldly.

　　Hearing this, Ouyang Qingming didn't know what to say for a moment.

　t if even this couldn't win Yuan Mu Ye over, then what else could attract him?

　　Soon, the two of them arrived at the city gate.

　　By now, Jiang Yicheng and the others had also arrived.

　　Standing on the city gate, looking at the hundreds of high-level ghosts outside the city, everyone's face was serious.

　　When Jiang Yicheng saw Yuan Mu Ye bringing Ouyang Qingming over, he was a bit surprised at first, but he quickly figured out the reason.

　　"Actually, it's useless to bring him here," Jiang Yicheng said in a low voice.

　　Yuan Mu Ye raised his eyes and glanced at Jiang Yicheng, saying calmly, "Whether it's useful or not, at least he still has some value for now."

　　If he didn't have any value, Yuan Mu Ye wouldn't have made a special trip.

　　Jiang Yicheng looked at Ouyang Qingming thoughtfully and didn't say anything.

　　At this moment, Li Pangpang walked over, looking at Yuan Mu Ye with a serious expression and saying, "I don't know what those ghosts are up to. They've been standing outside the city for a long time and haven't shown any signs of attacking."

　　Yuan Mu Ye also found it strange. He thought that by the time he got here, the Supernatural Bureau would be fighting fiercely with those ghosts, but when he arrived, it was still completely quiet.

　　There must be a reason why those ghosts hadn't made a move yet, but Yuan Mu Ye hadn't thought of what that reason might be yet.

　　"Do you think it's possible they are waiting for someone?" Jiang Yicheng suddenly said.
