The journey of just over eight hundred kilometers was completed in no time, and Ye Kai had already returned to Zhongnan Mountain.
At this moment, he was sitting on the sofa in the hall, watching Li Mochou and Dragon Maiden curiously surveying their surroundings.
To prevent them from encountering calamity, Ye Kai had practically coaxed and tricked these individuals into coming to his villa.
He initially thought that Dragon Maiden would remain expressionless even upon seeing modern products, but to his surprise, when she saw the television, projector, refrigerator, and various desserts, she transformed completely, indulging in the food with sheer delight.
Li Mochou, while equally astonished, occasionally stole glances at him and whispered with Grandma Sun about who knows what.
With Ye Kai's appearance, this kind-hearted old woman had escaped the fate depicted in the original work and now looked at least twenty years younger.
Although he wasn't entirely sure what these people ate while living in the ancient tomb, it couldn't have been anything good!
After all, in the original work, Dragon Maiden fed on jade honey, Grandma Sun didn’t cook, and as for Li Mochou, the beautiful woman likely only consumed vegetarian dishes aside from her poetic killings.
Looking over at Yang Guo, Hong Lingbo, and Hong Jian Nan, they were already covered in chocolate and cream from their feasting.
With a chuckle at the soon-to-be foodies around him, Ye Kai turned his attention back to the screen. Countless crimson meteors were falling to the earth, creating craters several meters wide.
Occasionally sipping on a blue cocktail while making sounds of amazement, Ye Kai appeared utterly relaxed to everyone else. His leisurely demeanor seemed completely disconnected from any sense of urgency.
What invasion of demons!
What global sorrow!
It seemed as if none of it concerned him at all.
Little did they know that at this moment, Ye Kai was actually discussing with a deity about how to deal with the Nightmare Space Contractor that would soon crash down at Zhongnan Mountain. He planned to take decisive action and capture them all.
Should he use kind words to make them retreat?
Moreover, he was very curious about what Nightmare Space was planning.
As streams of light fell, his heart was shaken beyond measure!
After some preliminary calculations, it was clear that the number of newcomers had reached a terrifying figure of at least four hundred ninety thousand.
Not only that, but these people were not randomly deployed; it seemed there was a plan and a pattern to their arrival. He was genuinely curious about what Nightmare Space intended to do.
Could it be that they aimed to completely conquer this Earth in the Dimension?
With an army of nearly five hundred thousand Contractors, even a few experts from the Unity of Man and Nature would be insignificant. Even if everyone in the martial world rose up in resistance, it would merely be a drop in the bucket!
"Is this... is this really the Outsider Demon? Why do I feel like they aren't much different? They just have strange clothing and weapons!" At that moment, Dragon Maiden sat down beside Ye Kai, holding a plate filled with various desserts.
Is that really not different?
Ye Kai looked at Dragon Maiden with a strange expression. The Girl had completely entered 'foodie mode,' munching away while frowning at the excited crowd on the Screen.
Look at those large craters about fifteen meters in diameter created on the ground, and then look at the Red Light Membrane, which showed no signs of damage despite such impacts. How could she not find that strange?
Was her psychological resilience truly strong?
Or was she just adorably clueless?
Hey, hey, hey! You're the Dragon Maiden, not Catwoman! Why are you sticking out your tongue to lick ice cream?!
"Is it really necessary to be this tempting?"
"Is this still the Dragon Maiden who resembles an ice-cold beauty?"
Ye Kai licked his dry lips, longing to take a bite and taste her flavor!!!
But before he could savor the thought, he felt something approaching from behind. An instinctive sensation made the hairs on his neck stand on end; if he were to describe it, he would call it 'killing intent.'
This physical reaction was something Ye Kai had possessed for a long time. Moreover, after acquiring the Ability of ‘Mind Control’, his perception had been further enhanced. Any malicious target within a fifty-meter Scope could trigger his alertness.
He should have known that Grandma Sun, the protective elder, and Li Mochou would never let things slide!
However, he never expected that just a single glance would alert both of them!
...
Without mentioning Ye Kai's joyful interactions with the two beauties, the arrival of this Contractor, especially after hundreds of dull rumbling sounds, had already turned the ground beneath Zhongnan Mountain into a pockmarked mess.
Dozens of figures suddenly sprang up, laughing maniacally.
Then, the remaining Contractors began to jump out of the deep pit, some whispering to each other while others remained on high alert.
At that moment, a blue-white streak of light shot rapidly from the distant sky, its astonishing Speed making no sound as it tore through the air.
Thunder's heart raced as he noticed that while others were confused and dodging in panic, without a second thought, he leaped forward from the first group and suddenly soared over ten meters to intercept that blue-white Radiance.
As he landed, he stomped down hard, creating a ten-centimeter deep crater in the ground. Rolling back onto his feet, he revealed a sand-colored 'Eagle' in his hand and suddenly fired two shots towards the right.
"Clang! Clang!"
"Lei Ming, are you looking for death?!"
Yan Zhen revealed a massive weapon resembling a Zhanmadao, which was already capable of blocking all incoming bullets just by standing upright.
"Are you afraid of me?"
"Do you want to fight again?"
Lei Ming landed lightly on the ground, just as his two companions stepped forward. One was bald and carried a giant sniper rifle, while the other was tall and expressionless, wielding a two-handed cross sword, casting a menacing glance at Yan Zhen.
As for Lei Ming, he looked at the Spirit Crane in his hand, astonished to the point of nearly crying out. His heart raced at an alarming speed, and he felt cold sweat trickling down his back.
He knew the owner of this Spirit Crane all too well; there was no way they would deceive him. So, he exchanged a discreet glance with his two companions before calmly addressing Yan Zhen: "Yan Zhen, don't forget where we are. Also, let me remind you that attacking within the same faction will result in point deductions. I assume you've already lost some points!"
"And remember, don't go near the ancient tomb. This is a friendly reminder!"
With that, he led his two companions slowly down to the foot of the mountain, positioning themselves in the second tier, completely ignoring Yan Zhen's fierce gaze.
Their commotion sparked curiosity among many others who began to contemplate in secret.
Could there be some unexpected events occurring in the ancient tomb?
Was that Spirit Light just now perhaps a Long-Distance Communication token or something similar?
Or was Lei Ming setting up a formation?
In just a minute, nearly 90% of the Contractors in Divine City had changed, their forms shimmering with radiant light.
At this moment, Thunder had already reached the first group of Contractors at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain.
Although he was not afraid of the dozen or so individuals above, there was no need to provoke them. After all, each person in this group had a complex background, with several backed by top-tier forces.
It was best to avoid trouble if possible!
A hint of unprecedented seriousness appeared on Thunder's fair and delicate face as he spoke in a voice only audible to his two companions. "Listen carefully, do not initiate any conflicts. And remember, absolutely do not go near the low mountain between Quanzhen Sect and Ancient Tomb Sect, and definitely avoid Baiyun Villa."
Seeing the confusion and doubt in his companions' eyes, he gritted his teeth, glanced around at their surroundings, and spoke again. "There are immortals!!! Immortals who have surpassed the Shattered Void Realm at that villa!"
"Hiss!!!"
The two were equally shocked by his words, gasping in disbelief as their scalps tingled and goosebumps rose all over their bodies.
They exchanged glances, silently grateful to have Thunder as their partner; otherwise, they would have undoubtedly met a gruesome fate.
"Let's go, climb the mountain!"
One of the young men dressed in ancient white robes, lightly waving a feather fan, smiled slightly and said, "This time, our mission is quite simple: to seize Chongyang Palace and establish a connection point for a Dimension transmission. Everyone, let's move!"
