　　Hearing this, Zhou Yuan coughed and said with a stern expression, “Of course! Did you think I came up here just to admire the moonlight？”
　　”Although my current strength is only at the Star-Plucking Realm, I still have some tricks up my sleeve. Kid, follow me.”
　　Hearing this, Ye Wushuang smiled without a word and followed Zhou Yuan as they left.
　　The ancient city at night was quite tranquil.
　　After all, everyone understood the rules here: no fighting during the day, but at night, as long as you hid in pavilions, towers, or courtyards, no one could harm you.
　　Thus, during the day, factions searched for opportunities throughout the city, and at night, they each settled into their chosen lodgings.
　　Except for the initial confusion about the rules, which led to casualties, there has been almost no conflict since. At most, people just find each other disagreeable and engage in verbal sparring.
　　Thus, the two of them walking through the ancient city’s streets appeared rather eerie.
　　”Hey, kid, aren’t you afraid of death?” Zhou Yuan suddenly said： “The Spirit Sword Pavilion, the Infinite Alliance, and the Yun family all want you dead. How dare you wander out alone like this?”
　　”Aside from Xu Mingxiu of the Transcendent Heaven Realm and Yun Changbai at the half-step Transcendent level, the others should be worried about whether I might kill them.”
　　Hearing this, Zhou Yuan gave a bitter smile.
　　True.
　　Now, Ye Wushuang has reached the late-stage Stellar Transformation Realm. Even against a peak Stellar Transformation expert, he probably wouldn’t need to use that sword technique to kill them.
　　If anything, others should be more afraid of him.
　　That said, the people from the Spirit Sword Pavilion might know Xing Hanwen is dead, but they likely don’t realize Ye Wushuang killed him—they probably blame Xuan Tiansheng instead.
　　In　other　words…
　　The Spirit Sword Pavilion faction only knows Ye Wushuang is at the late-stage Stellar Transformation Realm and hasn’t yet grasped his true combat power！
　　Thinking　of　this,
　　Zhou Yuan looked at Ye Wushuang again and couldn’t help cursing： “Damn, kid, you’re really sneaky! You’re using yourself as bait, deliberately fishing for people here!”
　　”Senior, your words make me, Ye Wushuang, sound too despicable. Am I really that kind of person？”
　　”Like！”
　　“……”
　　The two walked along the street, chatting at a leisurely pace, passing through one market district after another.
　　When they reached a wide street, Zhou Yuan gradually slowed his steps and suddenly stopped, looking at Ye Wushuang, saying： “You’d better pray for yourself, kid. I don’t want to be your hired thug！”
　　Ye Wushuang couldn’t help but say： “We’ve been wandering around for half the day, and no big fish took the bait. I’m actually feeling a bit disappointed.”
　　Zhou Yuan sneered： “One peak Star Transformation realm expert, three late-stage Star Transformation realm experts, six mid-stage Star Transformation realm experts—they”re already showing you a lot of respect…”
　　”Then I”d better make it look like I barely managed to win.”
　　”Doable！”
　　As soon as the words fell, Zhou Yuan’s figure flickered and vanished, disappearing to who-knows-where.
　　Ye Wushuang stood still in place, smiling faintly： “You”ve been following us all this way. Still not planning to make your move？”
　　Swish,　swish,　swish…
　　At the street corner, figures emerged one after another, surrounding Ye Wushuang from all sides, trapping him in the middle.
　　”Ye Wushuang！”
　　The leader, a middle-aged man in a blue martial arts outfit, glared at Ye Wushuang with a sinister gaze.
　　Upon closer inspection, the eye in his left socket emitted a faint blue glow.
　　”Xu Yao！”
　　Ye Wushuang looked at the man and raised an eyebrow.
　　”I didn’t expect you to still recognize me！” Xu Yao was slightly taken aback.
　　He served as an inner court elder in the Lingjian Pavilion.
　　In the entire Lingjian Pavilion, only those who reached the peak of the Stellar Transformation realm were qualified to become pavilion elders, while experts at the early, middle, and late stages of the realm served as inner court elders.
　　Xu Yao was also an inner court elder of the Lingjian Pavilion, known for his low profile and lack of fame. It was unexpected that Ye Wushuang actually recognized him.
　　”Of course I recognize you.”
　　Ye Wushuang looked at Xu Yao and sneered, “That blind eye of yours was still gouged out back then by Pavilion Master Ling Shengtian！”
　　Mentioning the blind eye, Xu Yao instinctively covered his left eye.
　　”Back　then,　you…”
　　”Shut up.”
　　”Back then, you were no good person, practicing a martial art that relied on devouring others’ vital energy to advance, reaching the Delusional Realm, until you were encountered by Ling Shengtian…”
　　”I told you to shut up.”
　　”He gouged out one of your eyes, seeing that you still had the attitude to reform, and spared your life, letting you serve in the Lingjian Pavilion. Who would have thought you’d still be a dog that can’t stop eating shit.”
　　”Shut up, shut up, shut up！”
　　Xu Yao, having his past scars exposed in public, was furious. His figure flashed, and he instantly appeared before Ye Wushuang, throwing a punch.
　　“Explosive Force Ninefold Fist.”
　　Originally, Xu Yao was only at the late stage of the Star-Plucking Realm. This time, seizing an opportunity, he took a step forward and reached the peak.
　　When he learned that Ye Wushuang had left the Lin family and the residence of the Xuantian Mansion members on his own, Xu Yao took a few close companions and waited for the chance to ambush Ye Wushuang.
　　At this moment, he was certain that apart from that old man, Ye Wushuang had no one else accompanying him.
　　This was a perfect opportunity.
　　And if he could kill Ye Wushuang, it would be a great achievement！
　　Xu Yao knew Ye Wushuang was extraordinary, so he brought nine helpers—three at the late stage and six at the mid-stage. With their combined strength, they might even have a chance to kill someone at the Perfected Realm.
　　Ye Wushuang is doomed！
　　“What’s　the　rush？”
　　Ye Wushuang clenched his palm, gathering his internal energy, and threw a punch in return.
　　“Great Flame Annihilation Fist！”
　　The Great Flame Body Tempering Art, triple force instantly , unleashed a fierce and domineering punch straight forward.
　　Boom…
　　A deep rumble suddenly echoed, resonating for miles.
　　On the streets, cracks spread across the surfaces of stone walls, but they did not collapse or shatter.
　　The materials used to build this ancient city were extraordinary. Even those at the Star-Plucking Realm could hardly leave massive destruction marks.
　　However, the collision of spiritual power and the eruption of killing intent still created an utterly astonishing spectacle.
　　The other nine gathered together, their expressions wary as they gazed into the billowing dust.
　　Slowly.
　　The dust settled, and moonlight poured down.
　　In the center of the street, two figures stood facing each other on the ground.
　　Drip… drip…
　　The sound of blood dripping onto the ground echoed continuously.
　　At this moment, the other nine could only see Ye Wushuang’s fist piercing straight through Elder Xu Yao’s chest, blood dripping from Ye Wushuang’s palm onto the ground.
　　Xu Yao lowered his head to look at his own chest, his mouth opening as blood gushed out, his body trembling violently.
　　”Back then, I shouldn’t have given you a chance.”
　　Ye Wushuang’s other hand slowly rose, gripping Xu Yao’s head.
　　Boom！！！
　　Xu Yao’s head exploded, blood spraying out in all directions.
　　The other nine were completely dumbfounded at the sight.
　　A　single　encounter.
　　Xu　Yao…　died？
　　Peak-level experts at the Star-Seizing Realm—across the entire Tianyuan Continent, there probably weren’t even a hundred of them, each one a lofty and revered figure.
　　But now… he was just gone.
　　”Retreat！”
　　Someone shouted, and the others quickly snapped out of their daze.
　　What’s the point of ambushing now？
　　Who’s killing who is still up in the air！
　　In an instant, the nine men scattered into the nearby houses and shops lining the street.
　　Once inside the buildings, the formation’s protection would shield them, and Ye Wushuang couldn’t kill them.
