"Thank you to book friend 160502014152748 and Brother Right Hand for the 588, and to all other book friends, thank you everyone." Ye Zhongming looked at the busy entrance of the Cloud Summit Villa not far away, and the gloom in his eyes gradually faded.
What should have been a nearly perfect enemy elimination operation ended up being an unexpected incident due to the evolution of Yangos to level six.
An incident that could be fatal for Ye Zhongming at this point in time.
That day, facing the overwhelmingly powerful level six Evil Dragon and the scorching flames that surrounded him, Ye Zhongming used the only life-saving method he could employ.
He activated the already opened Key of the Secret Realm that he obtained from the trading fair, sending the Evil Dragon Yangos into the secret realm, and then used the Rainbow Gate he got from Bai Feng to teleport out of Yangos’s attack range, which had no blind spots.
But Ye Zhongming also paid a price for this.
He would also be sent into the secret realm, but because he activated the secret realm, he had a maximum preparation period of ten days.
What the secret realm is, what is inside, and what might happen, Ye Zhongming had no idea. The only thing he knew was that the secret realm was extremely dangerous, even more so than the desolate land.
In his previous life, the discussions about the dangers of the secret realm were so convincing that Ye Zhongming couldn’t help but believe them. When the Key of the Secret Realm appeared at the trading fair, Bai Feng mentioned that the member of that force who opened the secret realm had died, and only one person had escaped by sheer luck, selling this item to the Renxing Battle Team.
Ye Zhongming felt that with his current strength as a four-star evolver, going in would mean that although he might not be facing a life-or-death situation, it was definitely a case of more danger than safety.
But at that moment, Ye Zhongming had no better choice and could only opt for this 'slow death.'
At least, he still had a few days to live, and even... there was a glimmer of hope in Ye Zhongming's heart.
Someone spotted Ye Zhongming, then more people followed, and soon, thunderous cheers erupted.
Their leader had returned.

"Zhongming, did you see the looks on these kids' faces? Everything you did in Ying City has been spread throughout the villa by Young Master Yun and Boss Bai Feng's people. Every night during rest, your trip to Ying City has become a must-discuss topic after meals. You’ve become an idol-level figure," Lu Yi laughed heartily, feeling very good.
That day, when Le Da Yuan returned with people to rescue the villa and scared off the coalition from Ying City Prison and the Lou family, the people of Cloud Summit Villa learned that the magic crystal handgun in Le Da Yuan's hands could only be fired once. This meant that after it took down two warriors from the Lou family, it became useless, and as for the magic crystal grenade in his other hand, it was just an empty shell.
Many core members felt a chill when they learned this. If the coalition from Ying City Prison and the Lou family had been more decisive at the time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
When Xia Lei, who couldn’t find Ye Zhongming, returned with the main force, it was two days later. If an accident had occurred, there was no way for them to rescue him; one could imagine how dangerous the situation had been.
"What happened? Why is our Earth Yellow Pill in this state?" Liang Chuyin and Park Soo-young surrounded the big dog, which had healed somewhat but was still hairless and had charred black skin. They 'blamed' Ye Zhongming with concern, using the sweet dew technique generously on it, and the comfortable Earth Yellow Pill lay on the ground, rolling over with its legs in the air, looking blissful.
Ye Zhongming smiled and glanced at Xia Lei, Mo Ye, Sister Rong, Little Tiger, Shengyuan, Candy, and others who were also looking at him, knowing they wanted to ask what he encountered.
