"What's wrong? You don't kind of challenge?"
Erlang Shen was fuming inside, so he continued, "I feel like you're looking down on me. That's why you're not fighting back! I want you to take this seriously and face me head-on!"
"But if I use my full strength, you won't be my match. Alright, let's fight—no more talking."
Yang Jian felt that Ye Tian was being incredibly arrogant. Since he was speaking so boldly, Yang Jian had no choice but to go all out against him.
He had long heard of Ye Tian's extraordinary strength, and now, he would finally get to witness it firsthand.
At that moment, the two clashed. Initially, Ye Tian had only been dodging, but he realized that simply evading attacks was somewhat meaningless. So, this time, he used just one hand.
At the same time, Houyi could sense the immense power radiating from Ye Tian.
If the fight continued, the outcome would soon be decided. While Yang Jian was indeed powerful, he was unlikely to be Ye Tian's match.
Houyi observed the battle closely—his sharp eyes could tell the difference in strength between the two. Yang Jian was formidable, but compared to Ye Tian, the gap was quite significant.
After a while, Yang Jian was already struggling. He hadn't expected Ye Tian to be this strong.
"I never imagined your power would be so overwhelming, Ye Tian. You've truly opened my eyes!"
Breathing heavily, he looked at Ye Tian, who replied, "Hmm, you're strong too. At first, I didn't take you seriously, but after this fight, I see that your strength is impressive. We might even be evenly matched!"
Ye Tian decided to spare Yang Jian some dignity—after all, that would make it easier to leave. Yang Jian, of course, could tell that Ye Tian was going easy on him.
"Alright then, you may go. Consider this my mistake for interrupting you."
After saying that, Yang Jian turned and left.
Once he was gone, Houyi asked, "Why are you so strong? Not even the Jade Emperor is your match, and now Yang Jian couldn't defeat you either. So, can I ask—how did you cultivate such power?"
"Of course, I'm very curious!"
"If I tell you, will you give me the Sun-Shooting Bow once we find it? I really need it."
"That might not be possible…"
Houyi had his own thoughts. The Sun-Shooting Bow was his weapon—how could he just hand it over?
Ye Tian noticed Houyi's hesitation and said, "I can tell you're unwilling. In that case, I won't tell you how I became this strong."
"There's no 'but.' If you're not willing to tell me, why should I tell you? Clearly, you don't trust me. If that's the case, I see no reason to share my secrets with you."
Houyi felt a little disappointed and said, "It's just that we don't know each other well enough yet. Maybe if we get to know each other better, I'll tell you."
"You have a point. We haven't known each other long. Once we spend more time together, you'll understand what kind of person I am."
"Yeah, that makes sense."
The two of them returned to the mortal realm.
At that moment, Ye Tian suddenly thought—where was Meng Po?
They hadn't exchanged any contact information before, which made finding her now quite difficult. Ye Tian turned to Houyi and asked, "Do you know where Meng Po is?"
"Why are you asking me? How would I know? If she's missing, what do we do now?"
"We'll have to search for her first."
Ye Tian was growing anxious. Meng Po was already gone, and without any way to contact her, tracking her down would be no easy task.
After searching for a while with no success, Ye Tian sighed, "Let's check into an inn for now. This is where we parted ways before, so maybe if we stay here, we'll find her tomorrow."
"Alright, let's stay the night."
As they entered the inn, the innkeeper greeted them, "Are you two looking for a room?"
"Yes. How much for one night?"
"Only one tael of silver per night."
"That's reasonable. We'll take two rooms."
The two settled in, hoping to find Meng Po the next day. However, things didn't go as smoothly as they had expected.
Even after searching all day, there was still no sign of her.
Ye Tian was surprised—where had she gone? Meng Po was crucial. Only by finding her could they figure out their next steps.
But now, the biggest problem was that she was nowhere to be found. This left Ye Tian feeling extremely anxious.
Houyi was also feeling restless. The weather was scorching, and if he didn't regain his memories soon, he wouldn't be able to recall anything from his past.
Without his memories, finding the Sun-Shooting Bow would be impossible.
"I don't know where she is. Asking me won't help."
"Yeah… asking you won't help…"
Just as they were feeling utterly frustrated, a woman suddenly appeared.
She was breathtakingly beautiful.
And she was none other than the person they had been searching for—Meng Po!
