A cold, mechanical voice suddenly echoed across the arena, snapping everyone back to their senses. Even Xi Yue, who had nearly lost herself in the overwhelming intensity of the man’s fiery emotions, was snapped back to reality.

She suddenly came to her senses and pushed Ji Mingyu away. Her delicate face flushed so deeply it seemed like it might drip with crimson. The faint swelling of her lips still tinged with a trace of silvery thread, adding an unmistakable hint of intimacy to the moment.

Ji Mingyu was no longer as cold and aloof as before.

His robe, once tugged open by Xi Yue, remained undone. The slightly parted neckline revealed his smooth, sculpted chest, exuding an irresistible allure.

A trace of silvery thread lingered at the corner of his lips as he fixed his intense gaze on Xi Yue. The faint flush at the corners of his eyes, a remnant of his earlier passion, only enhanced his already striking features, making him all the more mesmerizing.

Ji Mingyu stepped forward and wanted to speak, but Xi Yue blushed and announced loudly, “I surrender!”

The mechanical voice rang out once more.

“Challenger 007 has conceded. Challenge failed. A penalty of 5,000 points will be deducted. Current score: -4,792. A negative score results in expulsion from the Spirit Refining Domain for one month. Upon return, the challenger will face a soul-piercing lightning punishment. Failure to clear the debt within one year will lead to permanent disqualification from entering the Spirit Refining Domain. 007 shall be kicked out now!”

Ji Mingyu’s expression changed drastically as he leaped to his feet, reaching out to pull the girl nearby into his arms.

However, the eviction of Spirit Refining Domain went faster than he imagined.

The figure of the young man before Ji Mingyu gradually faded, growing fainter with each passing moment. Just as Ji Mingyu’s fingertips were about to touch him, the figure vanished completely before his eyes.

“Xi—!”

Ji Mingyu bellowed, but he could only watch as the person he longed for disappear before his eyes.

The fury and unwillingness surging in his chest erupted like a tidal wave, transforming into an overwhelming pressure that burst forth with terrifying intensity.

Ah—!” Terrified screams erupted one after another in the audience, rising in a chaotic chorus of panic.

The arena shook with the force of what felt like a landslide and tidal wave combined. Moments later, the spectators, who had been watching among the audience, experienced a sudden wave of dizziness. By the time they regained their senses, they found themselves collectively expelled from the arena.

At that moment, it wasn’t just the arena—the entire Spirit Refining Domain seemed to tremble, as if resonating with the overwhelming threat that had descended upon it.

Cultivators and warriors exchanged panicked glances, their eyes darting nervously as fear gripped them, wondering if an impending disaster was about to strike.

In the arena, Ji Mingyu was the only one standing, with a gloomy and cold face, as if he were a god and demon from the nine heavens who could destroy all the beings in the world with a wave of his hand.

Suddenly, a line of text popped up in front of him.

[Abyss Divine Venerable, you can’t do this! What good would destroying the Spirit Refining Domain bring you? Aren’t you still searching for the remnants left behind by the former Divine Emperor here?]

Ji Mingyu’s lips curled into a faint, icy smirk, as if mocking the Spirit Refining Domain’s spirit for its futile attempt at threatening him.

[Wait! Hold on! Aren’t you looking for that young lady? Just because she’s disappeared from the Spirit Refining Domain doesn’t mean no one knows where she is! According to the regulations, I can’t disclose her whereabouts directly. But with your abilities, it wouldn’t take much effort to gather information about her within the domain, would it?]

[Wouldn’t it be more to your liking to catch her in the real world rather than meeting her here in the Spirit Refining Domain?]

The words appearing in the void gradually calmed Ji Mingyu’s nearly uncontrollable fury, allowing his emotions to slowly settle.

He cast a cold glance in a certain direction. Just as the Spirit Refining Domain’s spirit seemed on the verge of fleeing in terror, his figure slowly faded away, disappearing from the arena.
