At the other end of the arena, Mo Ying began planning the upcoming battles, "This woman is surrounded by mystery. Do you want me to secretly assist you in having a direct match with her?"

"You intend to manipulate the rankings through special means?"

"Exactly."

"Hehe, there's no need." Feng Yi shook his head after a moment's thought, "I hope our battle is fair."

"The young lady's strength is certainly not below Roland's. If you're careless, you must be cautious." Mo Ying said seriously, "She is the strongest besides you and Roland in Sky Shadow, and her agility far surpasses yours, so it wouldn't be surprising even if she defeats you."

"Ah, is she that strong?"

"Stronger than you imagine. I've adjusted your ranking to be in the last match, which will allow you more time to observe other powerhouses."

"Unnecessary."

Mo Ying felt embarrassed, "Who was it just now that was staring intently at the young lady?" he said, "Alright, I'll head back to the hotel to prepare. It's already nighttime, and the fragile human body needs ample rest."

After a simple farewell, Mo Ying turned to leave the battlefield. The quaint living atmosphere filled him with a sense of excitement, as he walked briskly through the outer commercial area.

——

A wisp of breeze brushed by, like the coolness of autumn leaves whirling, merging naturally at this moment, causing him to pause for a moment...

But it was just a brief hesitation, as Mo Ying resumed his steps, moving forward, onward, and further onward...

The surroundings passed by like a fleeting glance, the journey home seemed endless, as if separated by vast mountains and seas, seemingly within reach yet unattainable to the eyes.

Gradually, as Mo Ying kept moving forward, he drew closer to that graceful figure ahead... As soon as it came into view, he saw it was a person standing with hands clasped behind their back.

"We meet again." The young lady turned slowly, speaking in a deep voice.

Mo Ying smiled warmly, "What a coincidence, Sky City is truly small."

"Hmph." The young lady's nose issued a soft snort, without responding.

"Why, did I say something wrong?"

"Not at all."

"Since it's not wrong, why didn't you answer? Were you perhaps waiting for me?"

"What do you think? Did I miss saying why I'm waiting for you?"

"It seems so." Mo Ying feigned thought, and said, "Why?"

"Let's just take a walk."

"It's not a date, where do you want to take me?"

"A place for a conversation."

Mo Ying hesitated... "A place for conversation, sorry I didn't quite understand."

The young lady smiled gracefully, "As a reclusive master with extensive knowledge, there's nothing, I assume, that could baffle you beyond comprehension."

"Haha, I understand now."

"Oh? What do you understand, pray tell?"

"Finding a good place for burying bodies. If our conversation goes well, so be it, if not, you'll kill me and bury me. You're truly a considerate person," Mo Ying said honestly and sighed as if relieved to no longer fear being left out in the wilderness after death.

"I've neither a grudge from afar nor a quarrel from near, why say such things?"

"If there's no grudge or quarrel, why build this barrier with the power of the Four Elements?"

The young lady laughed, "To discern the mystery in an instant, it shows your exceptional insight, rarely seen in today's world."

"You're too kind."

"Not at all. Since you're an outstanding person, why do you meddle between me and Feng Yi?"

"Isn't it because you left a faint trace on me during the day? Even I almost got fooled by you."

"How did you perceive it?"

"With your wisdom, you must already have an answer. Why use mind reading to see through my thoughts, is it not said that the wise do not speak in riddles?"

Upon hearing these words, even someone as composed as the young lady furrowed her brows slightly, her gleaming eyes flickering like glass...

Mind reading? She never expected this! How did Allen know she possessed mind reading?

"You're truly hidden well, knowing the wise don't conceal, yet still composed while conversing fluently with me. Why not reveal it from the start, unless you fear a First-Order woman?"

Mo Ying frowned, watching her picturesque light smile, hearing her veiled sarcasm, feeling an abrupt rise in pressure, "You have a mighty gift of gab!"

"You're too kind," the young lady replied in a hushed, punctuated tone, "Since you're a friend of Feng Yi, I won't make things difficult. I kindly ask you not to intervene in matters between him and me."

"Feng Yi is also my friend. What if I insist on intervening?"

"Then don't blame me for being rude."

"Why?"

"Feng Yi maintains his charisma, and I wish to remain mysterious. Don't you think he's learned too much already?"

Mo Ying's body froze, never expecting this elegant woman to act so dominantly and decisively, swift and resolute.

During the day, she was laughing with Mingfei like sisters, even greeted me, leaving a mark then, seeming to have detected something. Who knew in a few hours, she'd change her face.

Even if she sticks to her insistence on fighting Feng Yi, why involve others? I was merely offering Feng Yi advice.

However, from her perspective, it's not without reason. I did inform Feng Yi of too much and manipulated the rankings from the shadows. Considering from a maiden's perspective, this is indeed an invasion of privacy, where I was indeed unreasonable.

"The young lady's power is truly extraordinary, but... to seal me, we are not on the same level."

"Not necessarily."

Unknowingly, her delicate jade hand had already descended upon 'Allen's' vital point, and his body was penetrated by thirteen silver needles of varying profundity with astounding speed, in positions like Ghost Seal, Ghost Palace, Ghost Cave, Ghost Rampart, Ghost Road, Ghost Market, Ghost Hall, Ghost Pillow, Ghost Heart, Ghost Leg, Ghost Letter, Ghost Camp, Ghost Storage, and Ghost Minister.

The young lady said, "Since you're a skilled individual, I won't rashly confront you. It is only through the power of Heaven and Earth that I temporarily suppress you. You've also said, Yin and Yang with the Five Elements form the great power of Heaven and Earth, akin to the Third Rhythm Village."

Mo Ying was astonished!

What sort of person was this young lady to see through that Allen was not his true form, and it excited him further as his consciousness was trapped within! It's not a dimensional gap but a forcible isolation through the power of Yin and Yang of Heaven and Earth, forcibly fixing his consciousness within Allen, trapped in the Heaven and Earth Imprint Map, unable to exit shortly.

"Come, take him back to the hotel, don't delay, and ensure nothing happens to him."

"At your command."

Several inner disciples of the Jade Clear Sect approached and carried him away silently...

As they departed, Mo Ying received one last transmitted message from the young lady, "Hope you understand, in a while, I will grant you freedom, and should you wish to seek me, you're welcome at any time."
