Until after this incident, Ye Zhongming calmed down to think and realized that it was likely due to him creating too many puppet Iron Corpses. These things, which shared the same origin as the Red Hair, resonated at some point with the distant Red Hair in another space. Through them, Ye Zhongming had a momentary connection with Red Hair's consciousness and received some information from Red Hair's mind.
Perhaps this was also related to the great thousand soul refining technique.
Ye Zhongming might never know the exact reason for this, but he now only knew one thing—if the scene that appeared in his mind was real, then Cloud Summit Villa was in extreme danger.

"President Wang, I raise my glass to you, congratulations on becoming a five-star evolver!"
Dr. Mu lowered his head slightly and raised his wine glass toward the elder in front of him. The dark red liquid swirled in the transparent high-end glassware, creating wave after wave of traces.
Although President Wang tried to suppress his expression, the smile leaking from the corners of his mouth made it clear to everyone that he was very happy—extremely happy.
The elder's face was glowing and smooth. Under the effect of the evolution potion, his appearance had remained at the time he first took the potion and, after consuming a higher-level potion, he looked significantly younger.
Watching President Wang down the drink in one gulp, Dr. Mu finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Since President Wang's son, Xiao Dao, was killed in Ulan County City over half a year ago, Dr. Mu had been anxious, fearing that President Wang would take revenge on him for not providing timely support and would kill him to bury alongside Xiao Dao.
So, during this time, Dr. Mu had generally only taken very safe tasks, such as training new recruits at the headquarters or hunting far away with the main force.
He tried to avoid the influence of President Wang, a giant in the royal guild.
From time to time, he would have someone deliver his accumulated magic crystals to President Wang to express his apology, hoping to gradually dispel the giant's hostility.
He even began to lean towards another giant in the royal guild, President Tong Yang.
Fortunately, Dr. Mu felt he was lucky. More than three months after Xiao Dao's murder, they learned who the killer was, which force he belonged to, and detailed information about his strength. However, at that time, not only President Wang but even the most mysterious leader of the royal guild dared not seek revenge against that person.
Because that person was called Ye Zhongming, the boss of Cloud Summit Villa next to Ying City, the number one in Ying City, and a formidable figure who had thoroughly defeated the zero commerce association, the largest employer of the royal guild.
While they had no way to deal with him, at least they had the exact information about the murderer. Dr. Mu could clearly feel that President Wang's hostility towards him had decreased significantly.
He hurriedly sent two bottles of evolution potions as a gift, and President Wang finally gave him a promise—not to kill him but to advise him to stay far away.
Dr. Mu had originally prepared to proactively request a transfer to the royal guild's branch to endure hardship.
However, at this moment, better news came. The boss of Cloud Summit Villa, the powerful Ye Zhongming, who even the zero commerce association dared not act against and had even withdrawn from Ying City, had disappeared.
With the arrival of this news, and as other forces with animosity towards this faction continued to probe, a relatively reliable guess emerged.
Ye Zhongming had entered the secret realm for exploration and might have already died inside!
Upon hearing this news, Dr. Mu specifically paid attention to President Wang's dynamics. He discovered that the giant's hatred had diminished significantly due to the possible death of the murderer, but there were still remnants of hostility that could only be completely eradicated by the annihilation of the entire Cloud Summit Villa.
