Facing a three-pronged attack, Yuan Ming formed seals with both hands, activating the Six Jia Qimen Dao Seal, and disappeared into thin air from his original spot, reappearing more than ten feet away. The attacks of the three from Nan Shangfeng all missed.

"Spatial Shifting Divine Ability! Young Master!" shouted the burly guard holding a blade.

Upon hearing this, Nan Shangfeng immediately stepped back, forming a seal with one hand and striking the ground.

Suddenly, numerous silver spiritual patterns appeared on the floor and walls of the great hall, resembling an array.

A burly guard swung the Dragon Pattern Dual Blades, and the sharp blade light seemed like the Outer Heaven Xun Wind that could slash through the void, forming a web of dozens of blade shadows around Yuan Ming.

The other person held a blood-red spear emitting an endless aura of slaughter, which shot out like a meteor, aiming at Yuan Ming's body.

Yuan Ming tried to once again use the Six Jia Qimen Shifting, but the surrounding silver formation of the great hall suddenly lit up, with waves of invisible space fluctuations attacking from all directions.

The space power around him was disrupted, and the Six Jia Qimen was forcibly interrupted.

"Fighting in someone else's Spiritual Treasure Space, of course, the opponent has the advantage of terrain," Yuan Ming thought to himself, his hands not stopping as he swiftly summoned the protective shield of Houtu Peak, a layer of yellow light appeared on his body, thick and seemingly indestructible.

Clang, clang, clang!

The spiritual treasures of the two guards were all repelled, but Houtu Peak also resonated with a buzzing vibration.

Yuan Ming cast a spell with his left hand to stabilize Houtu Peak and sketched a Level 5 Fire Attribute Array in the void with his right hand, its surface glowing with intense firelight.

In the next moment, dozens of massive fire dragons shot out from the array, exuding an extremely scorching aura, pouncing on the three.

"This person is an Array Master, be careful!" shouted the burly man with the blade.

The four engaged in offensive and defensive maneuvers, quickly exchanging several rounds.

The two burly guards became increasingly apprehensive as the battle progressed, realizing that although the confrontation seemed evenly matched, no matter how they attacked, the "Wan Tianren" before them easily dodged each assault.

As for their opponent's counterattacks, they had to exert great effort to fend them off.

As for Nan Shangfeng, not only was his cultivation the lowest among the four, but having led an indulgent life, he lacked much combat experience. Aside from manipulating the void palace's restrictions to constrain Yuan Ming, he could barely contribute; as "Wan Tianren" became familiar with the void palace's restrictions, Nan Shangfeng turned into a burden, not worth considering as combat strength.

"It's about time to end this." Waving his hand, Yuan Ming once again forced the three back and suddenly raised one hand, flicked his fingers, and more than ten Soul Destroying Sword Energies shot out.

Each Sword Qi was several feet long, majestic like meteors, yet they made no sound, targeting the two burly guards separately.

"Be careful, it's a Divine Soul attack!" warned the burly man with the spear, his blood-red spear's lethal aura surging.

A surge of Soul Power shot out from between his brows, merging with the spear's lethal aura to form a blood-red shield in front of him.

Six Soul Destroying Sword Energies slashed at the shield, causing it to tremble violently, breaking it after blocking only three. The remaining three sword energies flashed and pierced into the body of the guard holding the spear.

The man's body trembled, blood flowed from his seven orifices, and he staggered backward.

On the other side, the dual-bladed burly man was greatly alarmed at the sight, slashing out dozens of violent blade lights imbued with Soul Power in a whirlwind to defend through attack.

However, his soul attack was far inferior to the Soul Destroying Sword Energies; the dense blade lights only managed to extinguish half of the sword energies, with the rest all penetrating his body.

The dual-bladed man's Divine Soul was severely damaged, and his face turned deathly pale.

"This is impossible!" Nan Shangfeng stood stunned not far away, his face devoid of the previous arrogance, staring at Yuan Ming in disbelief.

These two burly men weren't just any guards but respected Guest Elders within his family.

The two were twin Loose Cultivators, the blade-wielding one was the older brother Ruan Lianyu, and the spear-wielding one was the younger brother Ruan Lianxin, known collectively as the Ruan Brothers, who had previously been active around the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range.

As twins, they were of one mind, later refining a Combined Attack Secret Technique, nearly able to rival Dharma Phase Cultivators together, making a significant name for themselves in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains. Nan Shangfeng's family expended great effort to recruit them, yet they were gravely wounded after just a few exchanges. Could this person be a Dharma Phase existence?

Yuan Ming, however, was not surprised by this. In eighty years, the Spiritual Power within the broken sword fragment had mostly merged into the Soul Destroying Sword, with the number of runes on the Soul Destroying Sword not increasing but its power had greatly surged, incomparable to the past.

"Who exactly are you?" Nan Shangfeng asked, struggling to regain composure, his voice feigning authority.

Yuan Ming ignored him, looking around and pondering in his heart, "After such a long fight, Nan Shangfeng has faced danger several times, yet no one has appeared. It seems he doesn't have any Dharma Phase cultivators protecting him."

"I am a disciple of the Daluo Sect Master. If you dare act against me, the Daluo Sect will not let you go!" Nan Shangfeng, seeing Yuan Ming looking around, assumed he was hesitant and raised his voice.

"Since we're fighting so fiercely here, the outside world won't detect a thing, so the Daluo Sect naturally won't know, right?" Yuan Ming chuckled lightly, raised his hand with a wave, and activated the Dream Butterfly Dao Seal and the All Living Beings Dream Seal in his Dantian.

"You..." Nan Shangfeng's face showed surprise, intending to say something more.

Two waves of void energy, like ripples in water, spread one after another, causing everyone in the hall, including Ruan Lianyu and Ruan Lianxin, to stand frozen in place. Even the three female cultivators who had fled to the distance were the same, trapped in the Dream Butterfly Illusion Technique, unable to extricate themselves.

The Dragon Pattern Dual Blades and the blood-red spear lost their power and fell to the ground with a clang, the white chains binding Yuan Ming's feet also loosened automatically.

Yuan Ming looked at Nan Shangfeng and shook his head.

Recalling the conflict between Nan Shangfeng and himself, he found it absurd, and with a lift of his hand, he summoned them through the air.

Then Yuan Ming performed a Soul Search on each of them, extracting the parts about Nan Shangfeng.

After thirty minutes, he lowered his hand.

According to the results of the Soul Search, this Nan Shangfeng was the second disciple of the Daluo Sect Master, originally very gifted, but had injured his foundation during an expedition, causing his cultivation to stagnate at the Late Stage of Returning Void. Afterwards, he indulged in women and collected various beauties to fill his harem.

His personality had changed from dignified and generous to timid and fearful.

As for why Nan Shangfeng approached him, it was as he said, there were no conspiracies or tricks involved, it was simply to earn a beauty's smile from beginning to end.

Nan Shangfeng's parents were from a wealthy merchant family in the Central Continent and had some relations with the Bright Moon Palace, possessing vast assets. A few million Spirit Stones really meant nothing to them.

"The perspective of a scion from a wealthy lineage on Spirit Stones is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people." Yuan Ming shook his head with a bitter smile.

Having confirmed there were no conspiracies or schemes behind Nan Shangfeng, he decided not to entangle with them any further, preparing to erase all their memories of him and leave.

But as Yuan Ming raised his hand, he paused slightly, having another idea in mind.

Then, he directly changed the spell, planting a Soul Descent Rune in Nan Shangfeng's Sea of Consciousness, and then awakened him.

"No—don't—" Nan Shangfeng, as soon as he opened his eyes, roared hoarsely, as if witnessing a scene he dreaded to see.

And when he saw everything around him clearly, discovering Yuan Ming standing intact before him, and that his two Returning to Void Peak guards were lying not far away, their lives uncertain, he finally came back to his senses, recalling everything that had just happened.

"Illusion... Illusion Technique? So powerful, you... no, you are the Life Witch?" Nan Shangfeng trembled as he spoke.

"I have just planted a rune in your Sea of Consciousness, which can completely erase your Divine Soul with a single thought. If you don't believe me, you can feel it yourself." Yuan Ming didn't answer him but spoke expressionlessly.

Nan Shangfeng gave it a try, then his body began to shake violently, he even collapsed limply, unable to stand.

"Fellow Daoist Wan, if you have any requests in the future, I will comply, please be magnanimous and spare me." He hurriedly knelt before Yuan Ming, begging earnestly.

"I am not averse to agreeing to your request, including ignoring today's incident. However, I have one condition." Yuan Ming looked at him and said slowly.

"Please say it, not just one condition, even ten or eight are no problem." Upon hearing this, Nan Shangfeng's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said.

"I will take these three pieces of spirit wood you bought, and during the Ten Thousand Treasure Auction, I will stay hidden in your Space Treasure, and you will participate on my behalf, bidding for the items I want. After it's over, I will leave and won't harm you." Yuan Ming said.

"Okay, rest assured, whatever you fancy, as long as I can afford it — no, as long as you want it, I will definitely get it for you!" Hearing this, Nan Shangfeng quickly slapped his chest in assurance.

Seeing Nan Shangfeng's response, Yuan Ming nodded in satisfaction.

Afterwards, he came to the two Returning to Void Peak guards, pressing both hands on their foreheads.

Seeing this, Nan Shangfeng's face turned deathly pale, thinking Yuan Ming had changed his mind and was going to kill them.

However, only a faint light glowed in Yuan Ming's palms, as he released Divine Soul Power to erase all memories of himself from their minds.

Then, he deleted the memories of the other attendants one by one, including the three female cultivators who had fled earlier, naturally erasing their memories as well.

"When they wake up, they won't remember anything about me, and you'd better keep quiet, otherwise, I don't mind ensuring you can never speak again." Yuan Ming looked at Nan Shangfeng and said calmly.

"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Wan, I won't leak half a word about you." Nan Shangfeng breathed a sigh of relief, immediately nodding in cooperation to guarantee.

"Does your Space Spiritual Treasure contain a secret room?" Yuan Ming asked again.

"Yes, yes, please follow me, Fellow Daoist Wan." Nan Shangfeng quickly said, turning with a face full of dread to lead the way.
