Chapter 384 - The Two Ladies Meet For The First Time (1/2)
He Xinfang gritted his teeth and made his decision.
No matter what, he was not going to be timid in front of Ou Yangming. Even if he was not the fearsome half-spirit beast’s match, he could not show a weak impression.
At the end of the day, they were in the prefecture where there were tens of Supreme Great Ancestors. As powerful as the half-spirit beast was, it was by itself. Unless it was an irresistible creature like the Earthly Dragon Beasts from the upper realm, He Xinfang was sure he could persevere until he received support.
“Master Ou, I’ll handle the half-spirit beast. You may go to rest first!” He Xinfang raised his eyebrows and expressed proudly. He later turned to signal one of the other men with his eyes.

Since he managed to secure the job to guard this wall, he had naturally made preparations in advance.
The man was a distant disciple in the Ye family and had been sent to Changlong County’s prefecture as an informant long ago. When Ye Xifang finally entered the city, he made the move to contact him.
He immediately understood what He Xinfang meant, so he backed away and soon disappeared in the dark.
He Xinfang was secretly elated. Although it was embarra.s.sing to seek help from a comrade, all Supreme Great Ancestors who came to Changlong County’s prefecture knew it was extremely important to work together before the disaster happened.
As compared to rogue cultivators, the Supreme Great Ancestors from aristocratic families knew better the meaning and the importance of cooperation.
Ou Yangming smiled strangely. “Brother Ye, let’s go together.”
He Xinfang was stunned for a while, and he even turned a little pale. He felt his head shake like a rattle drum when he responded without any hesitation, “Master Ou, you mustn’t.”
He was aware of how powerful Ou Yangming was. After all, the three Earthly Dragon Beasts, who everyone else was helpless against, killed themselves because of the young fellow’s Simulated Spiritual Fist.
Even so, He Xinfang dared not agree to let Ou Yangming help. If-even if it was a one-in-10,000 chance-Ou Yangming came to a bad end, He Xinfang would end tragically.
Nonetheless, Ou Yangming waved his hand and jumped down from the top of the wall. While the other people shrieked with fear, he landed softly as though a pair of invisible hands supported him at the bottom.
Ou Yangming adopted the body technique that he secretly learned but combined it with his comprehension. It made him look elegant and graceful as if he was indeed a deity.
He Xinfang experienced a sudden blackout, but he quickly ordered in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “Quickly sound the horn again to call for help!” Before his voice died away, he jumped off the wall. Nevertheless, the great ancestor dared not learn from Ou Yangming. He gently tapped the tip of his toes on the wall while he was in mid-air, to slowly disintegrate the strong falling force. As such, he seemed inferior to the young fellow be it in terms of speed or the visual impact.
Despite that, the soldiers at the top could not be bothered to admire them at all. They took the horn and sounded it as hard as they could.
The thunderous sound spread far and wide in a split second, where it alarmed numerous Supreme Great Ancestors.
On the other hand, Ni Yinghong was dumbfounded as she watched. Everything happened so quickly that she could not stop them in time. Seeing as how the others were panicking like ants on fire, she could not help but smile bitterly. ‘It’s such a huge misunderstanding! ‘Ah, Lil’ Ming, why didn’t you explain just now…
He Xinfang dashed forward regardless of the situation as soon as he landed. He was determined to catch up to Ou Yangming, but deep down he thought, ‘Little devil, even if you’re courting your death, please don’t do it in front of me! If you do, not only me but the whole He family will be affected too!’
Ou Yangming was more than just an ordinary blacksmith. His strength and hidden potential were remarkable and unimaginable. The young fellow guided 100 powerhouses to become Supreme Great Ancestors and was going to customize a weapon each for them. Most important, it was evident from his status as the consort that the imperial family and Her Royal Highness approved of him. Therefore, even if Ou Yangming wanted to die, he could only die after He Xinfang!
Having said that, He Xinfang suddenly realized that Ou Yangming was much faster than he imagined.
Moreover, the unknown, terrifying half-spirit beast seemed to have noticed Ou Yangming and He Xinfang too. It widened its large mouth and roared as it ran in their direction.
This time, He Xinfang was truly frightened out of his wits because he could see that the half-spirit beast’s target was Ou Yangming.
He Xinfang would not have been as horrified if he was the beast’s target instead!
With that, the Supreme Great Ancestor roared and reached for a thin urumi. Countless sparks filled the air when he wielded it.
The news spread swiftly at the top of the city wall. Almost within three breaths after the horn was sounded, several figures arrived.
They were Elder Universe, the Ni family’s Three Great Ancestors, Fang Zhaoyang, and some other Supreme Great Ancestors from the prefecture. Of course, Li Xinfan and Deng Xiyuan were present too.
Even though the great ancestors from the prefecture managed to secure the tasks to guard the walls, the prefecture was home to Changlong County’s powerhouses, who could not be fully at ease. Hence, they were the first to arrive when there was a sign of trouble.
When the powerhouses looked in the distance, without needing to be briefed, they instantly noticed the shocking scene. Far away, a fearsome giant half-spirit beast was charging toward the city. Ou Yangming and He Xinfang braved themselves to confront the beast. It was clear from the reflections from the latter’s magic tools that the opponent was unfriendly.
“Oh no!”
