Long Ming was clearly flustered at the moment.
"Who am I! Hah! You are not qualified to know," Ye Ming said with a cold smile. "You only need to understand that you will pay the price for everything you have done."
Price?
What price?
"Your Excellency! I am from the Dark Clan. Are you sure you want to be my clan's enemy?"
At this point, Long Ming could only feign composure, attempting to intimidate his opponent with his identity.
The Dark Clan!
Ye Ming had learned some things about the Dark Clan during his conversation with Li Zhirou.
But very little!
One thing was certain, behind the Dark Clan, there must be the shadow of immortal cultivators.
"The Dark Clan! Very good! I will definitely pay you a visit if I get the chance!"
Ye Ming looked at Long Ming, whose body was already trembling slightly, and said coldly, "But you definitely won't live to see that day!"
Upon hearing this, Long Ming almost lost control of his bowels again.
Su Xin and the others by the side naturally would not intervene.
Previously, Long Ming had not intended to let them off either.
"Don't worry! I will make your death worthwhile!"
Ye Ming beckoned, and Long Ming’s entire body was lifted into the air.
"No… don't! Let me go! Let me go! I don't want to die!" Long Ming's legs thrashed in the air, shouting desperately.
With his strength, how could he break free from Ye Ming's grasp?
"Come!"
With a grip of his five fingers, Long Ming was directly sucked over. Ye Ming held his head and directly used the Ming Soul Technique.
He wanted to obtain more information about the Dark Clan from Long Ming's mind.
But just as he was about to read Long Ming's memory, he seemed to have triggered some kind of restriction.
It was intentionally left behind by someone.
"Presumptuous!"
The moment he touched the restriction, a golden light suddenly emanated from Long Ming's forehead.
It shot straight into the heavens.
Following that was a voice like surging rage:
"Those who probe the secrets of the immortal path shall die!"
As the voice faded, the golden light that flew out from Long Ming's forehead began to evolve bit by bit, finally transforming into a giant celestial hand.
Sacred and boundless, its might was eternal.
Beneath this celestial hand, everything appeared so insignificant.
Like ants.
"Holy cow! What… what is this?"
Ryancent looked at the giant hand, and even he felt a trace of fear.
Ying Qianshi was also solemn.
Nangong Qianyu looked at Ye Ming nervously, very worried.
"Xin… Sister Xin! This… is this…"
Seeing this scene, Qin Yuan didn't know if he had thought of something.
"That's right! This is a… Death Pact!"
Su Xin said with a complicated expression.
Death Pact!
It was something that every member of the Dark Clan had to bear.
Its existence was to prevent members of the Dark Clan from leaking secrets.
Once it appeared, it meant that the unknown secrets were at risk of being leaked.
However, once the Death Pact was activated, it would not only eliminate the person probing the secrets but also the host.
It was precisely because of the existence of the Death Pact that secrets could be forever sealed in the river of history.
…
Ye Ming gazed at the giant azure hand, his expression calm and composed, with no great fluctuations.
He merely felt slightly surprised.
"A trace of Aura from the Yuan Soul realm!"
Beneath the giant hand, Ye Ming felt the aura of its owner.
The Yuan Soul realm was the peak realm of the three Origin realms.
After immortal cultivators broke through the Fusion realm, they could step into the three Origin realms:
The Origin realm, the Heart of Origin realm, and the Yuan Soul realm.
The owner of this giant hand was an even more powerful being in the Yuan Soul realm.
"Interesting!"
Upon learning of the existence of such a powerful immortal cultivator, Ye Ming suddenly found that this world might be more interesting than he had imagined.
"Die!"
With a celestial decree, the giant hand pressed down towards Ye Ming.
If Ye Ming could not resist, not only he, but also Nangong Qianyu and Su Xin would be buried beneath the giant palm.
"Xin… Sister Xin! It seems we're really done for this time."
Feeling the pressure descending from the heavens, Qin Yuan had lost all will to live.
In the face of such supreme power, humans were truly too weak.
But for some reason, Su Xin did not feel a sense of impending doom.
Her eyes were always fixed on the young man in front of her.
"Who exactly are you?"
In her heart, she kept repeating this question.
At this moment, Ryancent ran to Ye Ming's side and said shamelessly, "Boss, it's safer by your side."
"Scram!"
Ye Ming gave him a disdainful look, then looked at the giant hand in the sky and said dismissively:
"Merely a wisp of residual power!"
He simply drew a line with one hand towards the giant hand, and in an instant, a spatial rift nearly a hundred meters long directly sliced the entire giant hand apart.
Terrifying to the extreme!
Then, the power that condensed the giant hand was gradually absorbed into the spatial rift.
Without any residue.
Thus, the terrifying might that everyone saw was easily erased by Ye Ming.
"This…"
Ryancent was also stunned by this scene.
Although he had always known that his boss was very strong.
But this was far too much.
"It seems that Boss didn't exert too much effort when he beat me before!" Ryancent secretly rejoiced.
Nangong Qianyu was also seeing Ye Ming make a move for the first time.
It was only at this moment that she truly understood how great and magnificent the man she admired was.
While she was delighted, she also felt a hint of melancholy.
Could such a being truly be hers forever?
Unknowingly, her arm, which was holding Ye Ming's, tightened a little more.
Ye Ming turned to look at the beauty beside him. They exchanged a smile, both seeing the affection in each other's eyes.
On the other hand, Su Xin and the others were already frozen in place.
Such a terrifying giant hand was so vulnerable before that young man; was this not a complete subversion of their understanding?
This was simply too unbelievable.
"Xin… Sister Xin! Am I dreaming?"
Qin Yuan pinched himself twice, and a sharp pain instantly swept through his entire body.
"Not dreaming!"
Su Xin pretended not to know this foolish behavior of his.
With complex emotions, Su Xin finally walked towards Ye Ming.
Some things had to come to an end.
In the face of absolute power, she had no other choice.
If the other party was unwilling to spare them, they could only resign themselves to fate.
Ye Ming's plan to obtain information about the mastermind behind the Dark Clan from Long Ming's mind had come to naught.
Long Ming was now a cold corpse.
At this moment, Ye Ming also noticed Su Xin and the others.
"Your Excellency! We apologize for what happened before…"
"Stop!"
Ye Ming directly interrupted Su Xin's words and said calmly, "I know what you want to say, there's no need to continue!"
Ye Ming had seen everything that had happened in secret.
Apart from the one who didn't know his limits, no, the one who was thoroughly dead, Long Ming, Ye Ming harbored no ill will towards the other three.
He glanced at Su Xin, seeming to want to say something, but ultimately did not.
"Forget it! Let's go!"
Ye Ming shook his head and truly led Nangong Qianyu and the others away.
Su Xin watched the retreating figure of the young man, her expression very complex.
Qin Yuan: "This… you're just letting us go?"
