Ye Kunlun, while treating Nalan Mingyue, heard every word Cheng Fei spoke.
As long as Cheng Fei didn't come to disturb him, he couldn't be bothered to argue.
The entire East Sea War Department had been destroyed by him, so why would he fear the Northern Frontier War Department?
As time passed, Ye Kunlun's divine sense transformed into a terrifying storm, sweeping across the boundless desert!
Only by agitating this desert could the trace of strange aura hidden within be exposed!
Within a few breaths, Nalan Mingyue's spiritual sea turned into a world of yellow sand. kuAiδugg
Ye Kunlun's divine sense rapidly scanned every grain of sand.
Three minutes later, half of the desert had been searched, and there was still no sign of anything.
Ye Kunlun knew that this strange aura was skilled at concealment. Without the Myriad Ancient Starry Sky Art, he would have found it almost impossible to detect its presence!
"Keep searching!"
Ye Kunlun refused to give up, continuing to search the remaining half of the desert!
Suddenly, a grain of sand, different from the others, tried to merge with its companions, evading Ye Kunlun's divine sense.
Ye Kunlun's gaze sharpened, and all his divine sense power instantly condensed, charging towards the unique grain of sand!
The grain of sand knew it had been exposed and frantically fled into the distance.
Unfortunately, Ye Kunlun had already discovered it and would not give it another chance to escape.
Moreover, Ye Kunlun's divine sense had already permeated Nalan Mingyue's entire spiritual sea, trapping the intruder in a net!
*Crack—*
His divine sense struck the grain of sand, causing it to explode into a wisp of black mist.
"Annihilate!"
Ye Kunlun concentrated his divine sense on the dark spear within the desert!
The spear sliced through the desert and soared across the sky, its terrifying aura directly obliterating the strange aura that Ye Kunlun had completely contained!
As the strange aura vanished, the desert returned to its calm state.
However, the dark spear began to hum, as if trying to break free from Ye Kunlun's divine sense's restraint!
Ye Kunlun knew that Nalan Mingyue's consciousness was beginning to awaken, fighting him for control of the spear!
Ye Kunlun withdrew his divine sense.
"Ten minutes!"
Cheng Fei glanced at his watch and said coldly to Yanzi.
"No!" Yanzi still blocked Cheng Fei's path.
Cheng Fei's expression darkened. He was only one star lower than Nalan Mingyue, a Two-Star Major General!
Yanzi, on the other hand, was just Nalan Mingyue's subordinate, not even having a star, placing her several ranks below him.
Yet, she had repeatedly shown him disrespect!
Cheng Fei was angered.
"Guards, seize Yanzi!"
Cheng Fei directly gave the order, no longer showing Yanzi any courtesy.
Four soldiers stepped forward. They were Cheng Fei's subordinates and only obeyed his command.
With a *swish*, Yanzi produced a dagger. "Anyone who dares to step forward, I will kill them!"
"Nonsense!" Cheng Fei was surprised by Yanzi's stubbornness and drew his pistol, aiming it at her. "Do you know what you're doing?"
"You are now in serious violation of the military regulations!"
"I'll say it again, surrender, or I will shoot immediately!"
Yanzi looked at the dark muzzle of the gun, undeterred by the danger!
Her sole mission was to protect Nalan Mingyue.
At this moment, Ye Kunlun was in the critical stage of treatment, and she could not let Cheng Fei disturb him, even if it meant her death.
Yanzi remained unmoved!
Cheng Fei's finger gently pulled the trigger.
*Bang—*
He fired. He had the right to deal with someone like Yanzi who violated military regulations!
Moreover, he had ample justification to kill Yanzi.
Only—
A bizarre scene unfolded. The bullet he fired hovered silently between him and Yanzi, spinning rapidly and emitting wisps of smoke!
Cheng Fei's eyes narrowed sharply at this sight, and he abruptly looked at Ye Kunlun!
He knew that Ye Kunlun was not an ordinary martial artist, but a cultivator.
"Alert!"
Cheng Fei quickly regained his composure, took half a step back, and shouted.
Yanzi looked at the bullet floating before her eyes, a fine sweat beading on her forehead.
She knew that if Ye Kunlun hadn't intervened just now, she would already be a corpse with only residual warmth.
"Truly noisy!"
Ye Kunlun removed the golden needles from Nalan Mingyue and walked towards the door.
Two dark muzzles were aimed at Ye Kunlun, and with a single command from Cheng Fei, he would be engulfed in a hail of bullets.
He looked at the gloomy Cheng Fei with a frosty expression, a hint of disdain curving his lips. "Who gave you the right to point a gun at your own compatriot?"
"What do you think you are?!" Cheng Fei shouted fiercely, surprised that Ye Kunlun, disregarding his predicament, dared to question him.
*Slap—*
Without any discernible movement from Ye Kunlun, Cheng Fei felt as if he had been slapped by the air.
The crisp sound of the slap echoed around them, leaving the hundreds of soldiers with guns stunned!
*Slap—*
Another slap, and Cheng Fei's face visibly swelled.
"I detest people like you who put on a show," Ye Kunlun said coldly, looking at Cheng Fei. "If you truly cared about Nalan Mingyue's life and death, it would be one thing, but—your eager performance just now clearly shows you don't want me to cure her!"
"Let me guess, you want to use this opportunity to eliminate Nalan Mingyue so you can rise through the ranks, right?"
Ye Kunlun's gaze was piercing, as if he could see through Cheng Fei's thoughts and had spoken his true intentions.
"You, you're talking nonsense!"
Cheng Fei endured the stinging pain on his cheek and glared at Ye Kunlun. "This is the Northern Frontier War Department. Don't think you can act recklessly just because you're a cultivator!"
Just then, two figures approached rapidly, arriving beside Cheng Fei in the blink of an eye.
Both were over forty, exuding an aura of menace, their terrifying power causing an inexplicable agitation in the air. They were both experts!
"Major General Cheng!" the two saluted Cheng Fei.
"This person's origins are unknown, and he has trespassed into the Northern Frontier War Department. I suspect he has ill intentions towards Major General Nalan. Arrest him!"
Cheng Fei directly pinned a major accusation on Ye Kunlun and ordered the two men.
"Yes!"
The two responded in unison.
Yanzi's expression changed slightly as she saw the two appear. "Cheng Fei, Mr. Ye... Mr. Ye is not of unknown origin. I specifically invited him to treat the Major General!"
Cheng Fei gave Yanzi a cold glance. He no longer cared about Ye Kunlun's identity.
After those two slaps, he intended to ensure Ye Kunlun did not leave the Northern Frontier War Department alive!
"Yanzi is colluding with a traitor. Arrest them both!" Cheng Fei ordered again!
Upon receiving the order, the two said nothing more and lunged towards Ye Kunlun.
"Two pathetic fools at the Spirit Opening realm." Ye Kunlun snorted coldly, his voice like two dull thunderclaps, striking the charging duo!
*Ugh—*
The two felt as if their hearts had been severely wounded. Their steps faltered, and they looked at Ye Kunlun with extreme shock!
Just now, they had sensed the aura of death, as if they had walked through the gates of hell!
They exchanged a look, seeing the fear in each other's eyes.
"What are you two standing around for?"
Cheng Fei frowned, not noticing their unusual reaction, and said with a hint of displeasure, "Hurry up and arrest them!"
Despite their fear, the two served the Northern Frontier War Department, and Cheng Fei was their immediate superior!
They dared not disobey his orders, as defying a military command was a grave offense!
The two withdrew their gazes and, steeling themselves, attacked Ye Kunlun.
"Scram!"
Ye Kunlun was enraged, and the single word 'scram' surged like a swift river, engulfing the two!
*Pfft—*
*Pfft—*
The two coughed up blood, sent flying backward.
Ye Kunlun's cold gaze fell upon Cheng Fei.
