The reason why Xiliang City was destroyed was because there was a top-level dungeon in the country nearby.
This refers to dungeons that can only be challenged after reaching level 60.
When that instance first appeared, there weren't many high-level professionals in the country.
This led to the outbreak of the demonic tide, killing the entire population of the city.
The loss of millions of lives had a tremendous impact at the time.
However, those are all digressions. The reason why Shang Ling'er was surprised at this moment is because...
It's because there are a large number of high-ranking personnel in Xiliang City.
If the person who launched the attack goes there and has some powerful backer, dealing with them will become very troublesome.
Ye Gubai didn't seem to care much about Shang Ling'er's surprise.
He also knew that Xiliang City was a special place.
It can be said to be a very remote city in the Tianlong Empire, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a place where the emperor is far away and the mountains are high.
It's quite normal for strange forces to appear there.
But he was not afraid. He had already grown strong enough to not fear anyone in the country.
He showed no fear even when facing professionals at level 70+.
Even if you can't win, escaping shouldn't be a problem.
With the dual acceleration of wind and thunder, he didn't believe anyone in the country could surpass him in speed.
Moreover, he also possesses teleportation scrolls, so if he encounters an opponent he can't defeat, he can simply use the scrolls to escape.
He wasn't carrying the Silverwing Star at the moment, so his teleportation power was more than enough; he could teleport anywhere he wanted without any problem.
If he encountered someone unreasonable and whom he couldn't defeat, he would run back to the capital and seek Wang Xizhi's help.
Using the teleportation array, Ye Gubai and Shang Ling'er quickly arrived in Xiliang City.
He had the privilege of cutting in line, so he didn't have any trouble queuing when using the teleportation array.
Upon arriving in Xiliang City, he immediately sensed the attacker.
Soon, a sense of connection came from not far outside the teleportation hall.
Based on his senses, Ye Gubai located the person who had attacked him.
Ye Gubai, riding the wind and thunder, looked down at the attacker with Shang Ling'er on his high ground.
This person was no longer wearing night clothes.
He even changed into a suit, looking quite respectable.
When he saw Ye Gubai and Shang Ling'er appear, he remained calm and composed, showing no fear.
The other person had covered their face, and they had run such a long distance.
He probably believed in his heart that Shang Ling'er couldn't catch up with him.
However, the fact that Shang Ling'er knew Ye Gubai was proven right before their eyes.
"He is the one who attacked you."
Ye Gubai lowered the flight altitude and pointed to the man in front of him.
Shang Ling'er looked surprised when she saw the person Ye Gubai was pointing at.
The attacker was simply good-looking, a rather handsome man.
If Ye Gubai hadn't identified him, Shang Ling'er wouldn't have believed that the other party was the one who secretly attacked and stole the treasure.
The man was startled when Ye Gubai pointed him out.
He had just been wondering if he might run into Ye Gubai and Shang Ling'er here by chance.
If you're just passing by and didn't come here specifically for him, that's fine.
Unexpectedly, the other party was indeed heading straight for him.
Could it be that I've been implanted with some kind of tracking device?
But I checked myself while I was running away.
Furthermore, he had no physical contact with Shang Ling'er; after robbing her, he ran away.
He didn't give Shang Ling'er any time to use any tracking methods against him.
Where is the problem?!
And most importantly, he has a special skill.
It can perfectly conceal itself, block sensors, and prevent enemies from tracking it.
The man who snatched the treasure couldn't understand it.
If I clearly possess this ability, why would Ye Gubai still come knocking on my door?
Is this the power of a supernova?
It's truly terrifying!
Fortunately, he has already escaped back to Xiliang City.
And while waiting in line, he handed the scroll to his elder brother, who was the mayor of Xiliang City.
Even if Ye Gubai came after him, he wouldn't worry about any problems under his elder brother's protection.
No matter how capable Ye Gubai was, he didn't have a position in the officialdom.
His older brother, however, is a full-fledged government official.
Could it be that Ye Gubai would dare to ignore his elder brother and attack him directly?
His older brother will arrive to pick him up in a few minutes.
Therefore, he was not worried about his safety at all.
He even wanted to see what such a powerful supernova would dare to do to him.
"I..." The man, after a lightning-fast thought, was about to reveal his name.
Then he saw Ye Gubai raise his hand and strike him with a bolt of lightning.
"?!"
A violent electric shock swept over the man's entire body, rendering him unable to utter a single word.
He was originally a charming and refined man.
At this moment, it lay on the ground convulsing like a teddy bear.
Ye Gubai's attack was too powerful, completely overwhelming the man.
Just as he crushed Shang Ling'er, Ye Gubai crushed him.
This left him completely powerless, only able to convulse on the ground from the electric shocks.
Less than two seconds later, the man was so shocked that his vision went blurry.
He even felt like he had urinated; the electric shock was so strong that it caused him to lose control of his bladder and bowels.
At this moment, the man had completely lost all his composure.
His short-circuited mind couldn't understand why Ye Gubai dared to act this way in broad daylight.
Aren't they afraid of mistaking someone for someone else?
And they didn't even give him a chance to explain; they just attacked him directly.
Sizzle!
The electric shock stopped.
Ye Gubai withdrew his power after shocking the man for three seconds.
"Now, are you willing to confess?"
Ye Gubai was different from others; when he interrogated people, he liked to beat them first, and then ask them all the questions while beating them.
Although the methods were somewhat cruel, the results were excellent.
You can tell just by looking at the man lying there urinating; the first thing he said was that he confessed.
“You’ve got guts… wait… my older brother will be here soon…” the man shouted with difficulty.
Upon hearing the man's words, Shang Ling'er immediately realized what he meant.
It really was him.
As expected, Ye Gubai's target was correct.
Although the voice was different from the one when the other person attacked her before, there are so many ways to change one's voice that it cannot be used to confirm the target.
However, the harsh words the man has just uttered undoubtedly confirm that he was indeed the one who launched the sneak attack.
Otherwise, what normal person would say something so harsh?
Shouldn't you first question and doubt him, and then loudly berate him for hurting him?
Therefore, the man in question must be the one who launched the sneak attack.
"Big brother? He laughed~"
"Come on, I'll be waiting for him here."
"But now, you'd better return what you've stolen."
"Otherwise, by the time your older brother arrives, you might have already been electrocuted into an idiot."
As he spoke, Ye Gubai raised his hand and released lightning power again, causing the man to convulse once more.
At that moment, the man had only one thought in his mind: "Give me a chance to speak!!"
