"What's going on, Mona, come back quickly." Ye Shikai tested the Array, which was similar to one that confines, and with Mona's high cultivation level, even if Ye Shikai used all his Inner Strength, he couldn't break the Array. He really didn't understand why everything was fine just a moment ago, and now it had changed like this.

"Kid, still don't get it? The Spirit Queen doesn't plan on letting you go at all." At this time, the voice of the Soul of the Sword echoed deep in his mind.

"Could you tell me something I don't know?" Ye Shikai sighed helplessly. He wasn't blind; such an Array clearly meant they didn't want to let him go.

"I'm sure you don't have a lifespan of two thousand years." After a long while, the Soul of the Sword uttered these words indifferently.

"When she said that just now, I almost really believed it." Ye Shikai couldn't help feeling helpless. Who exactly was this "Ye Shikai" from two thousand years ago that casually promised to marry someone? He was really irresponsible.

And that someone turned out to be an elf.

"Now I don't even have the Storage Ring, and without food, I'm starving." Ye Shikai sipped the tea on the table, then searched the whole house and found no food at all.

"Soul of the Sword, what exactly does Mona want to do?" Ye Shikai lay bored on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

"She probably wants to marry you."

"What, how is that possible." Ye Shikai exclaimed in shock, suddenly bouncing up from the bed.

"The elves have always treasured promises, whether it's their own or waiting for someone else's, it's the same. Take the Spirit Queen, for instance. Two thousand years ago, you promised to marry her, so she would willingly wait for two thousand years without a single complaint. And now, you directly say you're unwilling, you don't recognize it, wouldn't she get angry?" The Soul of the Sword said calmly.

"I see." Ye Shikai muttered, then suddenly, his face changed, and he anxiously said, "Spit it out, what do you mean by 'I promised'? I've already said that I don't know her. That 'Ye Shikai' isn't me."

Ah, why do I have to take the blame for nothing?

"Right, Soul of the Sword, do you know about the elves?" Ye Shikai asked curiously.

"I am the soul of the Netherworld Blade. I followed the previous Netherworld Kings in conquering all directions and do have some knowledge about the elves." The Soul of the Sword spoke indifferently, "The elves have existed for tens of thousands of years, with lifespans far exceeding humans. They originally lived in forests, but as humans expanded over millennia, the elves' habitat became smaller and smaller. Later, when people discovered the elves had extremely long lifespans, due to human desire for immortality and greed, there was once a trend of capturing elves. It was also at that time, that elves and humans went their separate ways. And because the elves are proud and consider themselves superior, they looked down upon the ancient human monarchy. Moreover, during conflicts between the two races, elves killed or injured a number of humans, leading to human rulers issuing a kill order against elves. From then on, the two races could not coexist under the same sky."

"No wonder, as soon as I came in, they were clamoring to kill humans."

"Humans and elves, it's destined that they can't get along. Isolation from the world might be the best option."

"Kid, instead of complaining here, you might as well take this opportunity to do something." At this time, the voice of the Soul of the Sword rang out again. Indeed, when Ye Shikai had approached this place, he noticed that the Spiritual Energy here was rich, much stronger than the outside world. If he cultivated here, there would certainly be good results.

"You're right." Ye Shikai sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes tightly, and slowly started to circulate the Emperor Xuan Scripture. He occasionally practiced this Cultivation Technique, but he was no hermit who could devote huge amounts of time to cultivate in peace. He had been stuck at Gen Level, the fourth level, and recently he felt the shackles of his breakthrough loosening. This was a great opportunity. Using this time, he must achieve a breakthrough. In just a few breaths, Ye Shikai felt a continuous stream of Spiritual Energy flowing into the room from the outside world, slowly being absorbed by him. With enough Spiritual Energy, he was confident about breaking through to the fifth level, Kun Level.

"Your Highness the Queen, what should we do about that man above?" Liruo asked.

"Keep a close watch on him, and don't give him food or drink for now. I want to see how long he can last." Holding the Storage Ring in her hand, Mona showed an unhappy expression, as if her favorite toy had been taken away.

"Yes, Your Highness." Liruo nodded, but her expression suddenly changed drastically, she pointed to the sky and shouted, "Your Highness, look up there!"

"What is it?" Mona looked up curiously but was stunned by what she saw. Green Spiritual Energy emanated from the top of a giant tree, slowly flowing toward the room where Ye Shikai was. The Spiritual Energy poured into the room incessantly, without any sign of stopping. The Emperor Xuan Scripture could absorb the Spiritual Energy from heaven and earth to assist one's breakthrough. Theoretically, the more intense the Spiritual Energy, the easier the breakthrough. Right now, Ye Shikai was using this to his advantage.

"Your Highness, what's going on?"

"Quick, let's go back right away."

Yanjing, Police Department.

This morning, Zhang Ting, dressed in her police uniform, hurried back to the police station, startling everyone.

"Officer Ting, weren't you suspended for a week? Why are you back now?" At this time, a police officer came out.

"Chen, come with me quickly." Zhang Ting tightly grabbed the officer without saying much and dragged him to her office.

"Officer Ting, Director Song is here at the station. If he finds out you're back, he will reprimand you to death."

"Shh, keep it down. Now go and notify the SWAT team to gather here immediately. I have something important to say." Zhang Ting breathed heavily, looking very anxious.

"Officer Ting, what's going on..."

"Less talk, go quickly. I'm going to report to the director now." Zhang Ting shouted suddenly, making her presence known throughout the office area, and everyone looked at her with surprised expressions.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Come in." Song Tian saw the person entering, spat out the tea in his mouth in surprise as Zhang Ting rushed in, gasping for air as if she was about to devour someone.

"Zhang Ting, didn't I suspend you for a week? Why are you here? Do you want to write another self-criticism?" Song Tian scolded loudly.

"Director Song, I have an urgent matter to report to you, really, I'm not lying." Zhang Ting said determinedly, pulling out a USB drive from her pocket and walking over to Song Tian's computer.
