In this era, so many days of no contact certainly meant that something had happened to Ye Ming.
If he wanted, he could have easily reached out to Xu Lele, but half a month had already passed.
Xia Ningning’s heart was filled with confusion. Where in the world could Ye Ming have gone?
Could it be that he had truly met with an accident?
Xia Ningning couldn’t bear to think any further.
When she first heard the news from Jiangbei, Xia Ningning had already had her suspicions, and the prolonged lack of contact inevitably seemed connected.
Xia Ningning just didn’t want to believe that Ye Ming could have died so easily. It was only a few bolts of lightning; could he really not have survived them?
At night, several experts stood outside Ye Ming’s lakeside villa.
Under Xia Ningning’s arrangements, the Jiangnan Martial Artist Association sent their best, including three Great Grandmasters and two martial artists of Lower Earth Rank.
Among the crowd were the Xu Family’s retainer, Elder Wang, and Li Yaozong.
The multitude of experts completely surrounded the lakeside villa.
Li Yaozong and Elder Wang could no longer contain themselves, eager to seek revenge for Le Le, but they were the first to fall.
They didn’t even see Lin Guisan’s face before being knocked to the ground by two full-bodied women.
The five experts from the Jiangnan Martial Artist Association managed to subdue the two women, but when it came to facing Lin Guisan, they were powerless.
They were pampered experts who had never encountered someone as trickery-filled and unconventional as Lin Guisan, nor had they seen the strange techniques he possessed.
After several exchanges, they were beaten so badly they sprawled across the ground, spitting blood constantly.
Lin Guisan let out cold sneers one after another, saying to them, "Do you really think Lin Guisan is easy to bully? Go back and tell Miss Xia that if she pushes me too far, I might turn against her Xia Family!"
Early the next day, Lin Guisan’s words reached Xia Ningning’s ears and also spread throughout Yanjing City.
The other noble families cast strange looks, and even some families within Chuzhou City turned their attention to Yanjing.
Someone dared to openly defy the authority of the Xia Family. How bold could they be? Moreover, the Xia Family seemed to have no way to deal with him. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
A few days ago, a man named Ye Ming had already caused a big stir in Yanjing, and now Lin Guisan had emerged. Could it be that the martial world was no longer at peace?
The other major families didn’t immediately jump in because they wanted to see what would happen.
Without the powerful intelligence network of the Xia Family, they could only hide in the background and observe the situation.
...
Outside Wanhua Valley, Lin Mengdie plopped down on a stone, gasping for breath.
She took off her shoes and rubbed her feet, her face etched with grievance.
"Ye Ming, even if you don’t bring me, I can still find my way here!"
After three days of long travel, she had finally found the whereabouts of Wanhua Valley using her intuition and information gathered along the way.
After the lengthy journey, she was in a sorry state. Not only were her trousers worn through, but her feet also had several blisters.
Having rested for a while, Lin Mengdie found herself in a state of surprise.
This place was so quiet.
It was devoid of people, like a purgatory on earth.
She had heard that outside the gate of Wanhua Valley there would always be throngs of people searching for medicine every day.
Yet when she had actually arrived, she found none of this to be true. Not even a shadow was seen outside the gates of Wanhua Valley, let alone any guards.
After sitting quietly for a moment, she faintly heard some noise coming from within Wanhua Valley.
She furrowed her brow as a bold idea suddenly sprang to mind, could it be that Ye Ming had already made his way in alone?
With that thought, Lin Mengdie dared not hesitate any longer.
She put on her shoes, smoothed her hair, and entered Wanhua Valley, constantly mumbling, "Ye Ming, you better not be reckless, this is Wanhua Valley!"
After just a few steps, she saw the ground littered with broken flesh.
She was even more shocked and hastened her pace.
At this moment, the five elders and Qin Yao were still frantically pumping True Qi into the Formation.
They had already gone through three rounds of replenishment, the power of the Formation was increasing, but so far, there had not been any changes to it.
Inside the Formation, Ye Ming’s body had begun to tremble uncontrollably.
Sweat beads the size of soybeans streamed down from the top of his head, as the True Qi inside his body circulated at an extremely fast pace.
Finally, after several consecutive sprints, there was a "putt" sound in Ye Ming’s mind.
In an instant, his Dantian expanded, and his meridians were stretched.
The True Qi was fully unleashed inside his body, rampaging without restraint.
He abruptly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air, a look of relief spreading across his face.
His bodily functions were greatly enhanced, and the storage of True Qi had visibly increased.
Through his relentless efforts, he had finally achieved a breakthrough.

Ye Ming slowly stood up, and with just a simple movement of his muscles and bones, his body made a very crisp sound.
Not only had there been changes within his body, but his bones had also been remodeled.
"Ye Brothers, how are you feeling, have you already achieved a breakthrough?" Zhang Lingfeng asked in astonishment.
Ye Ming nodded and said, "Elder, it seems to be the case!"
An irrepressible expression of excitement emerged on his face.
Intermediate Earth Rank, he had thoroughly stepped into it.
At this moment, he could clearly perceive how vast the gap between Lower Earth Rank and Intermediate Earth Rank was.
Between these two levels, Lower Earth Rank could only be considered as a beginner in cultivation, whereas reaching Intermediate Earth Rank marked the true essence of cultivating immortality.
His Sky-shattering Stone Technique within could now play a better role.
The expansion of meridians would allow him to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth even faster.
Unleashing it would also be quicker.
Furthermore, since this was his second promotion, his foundation had become even more solid, and the advancement did not bring about any side effects. Moreover, with the help of two Top Quality Spirit Condensing Elixirs, the True Qi inside him was very abundant.
Zhang Lingfeng gave a slight smile and said, "That is excellent news indeed, the hard work of these days has not been in vain."
Ye Ming nodded and said, "Elder, we can leave now!"
He then stood in front of the Formation, concentrating a sword made of True Qi in his hand.
With a smirk and a nonchalant wave of the energy sword, he slashed a cut on the exceedingly tough Formation.
Qin Yao was immediately astounded and exclaimed, "What’s going on, why is there a cut on the Formation?"
"It’s Ye Ming, that’s Ye Ming’s figure! He’s actually come out!" one of the elders beside Qin Yao shouted.
