Seeing Mr. Yan attempting to force his way through, Elder Yan dared not be careless.
He immediately gathered his strength, stomped his feet violently, and dived down from mid-air, using the momentum to unleash a punch.
The fists of the two collided in mid-air.
In an instant, a visible shockwave spread through the air.
A gray-brown luster appeared on the surface of Elder Yan’s body, resembling limestone.
Those familiar with Elder Yan knew this was his famous technique—Thick Earth Skill.
As the top master of Red Leaf Villa and one of the top existences in the entire Haizhou, he usually wouldn’t make a move, maybe not even for years.
But now, as soon as he made a move, he displayed his famous technique.
It was evident how formidable Mr. Yan was, especially after consuming the Blood Burst Pill, despite being a Mid-Holy Realm practitioner.
Even so, the rock-like defensive Gang Jin covering Elder Yan was instantly shattered, his muscles and blood vessels burst, and blood soaked his entire body. He was sent flying over a hundred meters back, smashing the wall-like boundary of Red Leaf Villa in the process.
Of course, Mr. Yan didn’t have it easy either.
The strength of Elder Yan’s punch struck him in the chest, sending him flying backward like a cannonball, destroying several dozen large trees in succession before stopping.
As soon as Mr. Yan stabilized himself, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Under normal circumstances, such an injury would have been enough to keep him down, but the effects of the Blood Burst Pill had not yet worn off. His eyes bloodshot, his aura briefly faltered before swelling again.
"Damn it, I will definitely get payback for this!"
With a roar, Mr. Yan got up and turned to flee.
Seeing this, Elder Yan, disregarding his own injuries, immediately got up and chased after him.
However, he hadn’t chased far when he was stopped by someone.
"Elder Yan, what happened to you?"
An astonished voice sounded.
Elder Yan furrowed his brow.
He recognized the person before him.
It was the elder who had just been sent flying by Ye Mengyun alongside Ao Ziye.
Elder Yan shouted coldly.
But the elder did not move aside; instead, he stepped forward with a concerned expression and said,
"Elder Yan, your injuries are not light. If there’s anything you need to do, I’m willing to help."
"I said, move aside."
Elder Yan roared angrily.
However, the elder still did not step aside but quickly said,
"Elder Yan, please do not be angry, to avoid aggravating your injuries. Here, I have some healing Spiritual Medicine..."
Elder Yan struck out directly, his forceful Gang Jin bursting forth, sending the elder flying before he chased after Mr. Yan again.
But, delayed by the elder, Mr. Yan had long since vanished without a trace.
Elder Yan had no choice but to give up and return with a dark expression on his face.
Meanwhile, Ye Mengyun, Zhou Yu, and the others had heard the commotion and came chasing over.
Ye Mengyun had never expected that in just a few minutes, Elder Yan would be so severely injured. Her face filled with worry, she immediately rushed over.
"Elder Yan, what happened to you? Are you okay?"
Elder Yan shook his head.
"Miss, it’s just superficial, no need to worry."
"It’s just a pity..."
"That the man got away."
Having said that, he coldly glared at the elder.
The elder’s eyes twitched, and he quickly bowed and said,
"Since Elder Yan is alright, then I will take my leave."
After speaking, he and Ao Ziye quickly left.
After leaving, Ao Ziye whispered,
"Elder, he won’t find out, right..."
The elder shook his head and said,
"Not sure, we can only gamble. A high-level expert like Elder Yan disdains shifting the blame..."
Hearing this, a cold gleam flashed through Ao Ziye’s eyes, but he said nothing more.
Elsewhere, once Ye Mengyun confirmed Elder Yan was alright, she quickly asked,
"Elder Yan, what happened? Is that man very powerful?"
Elder Yan shook his head and said,
"That man took a Blood Burst Pill."
At the mention of the Blood Burst Pill, Ye Mengyun understood.
"Elder Yan, don’t worry about it; if he’s escaped, let it be. Please go rest, I’ll have the healing Spiritual Medicine sent to you immediately."
Elder Yan nodded and then turned to leave.
After having the healing Spiritual Medicine sent over, Ye Mengyun led Zhou Yu and the others back to the reception room.
As soon as they reached the reception room, Li Quan ’thudded’ onto the ground once more.
"Miss, I have failed in my duties, please punish me!"
With Mr. Yan’s incident and even Elder Yan getting hurt, Li Quan was extremely frightened.
Seeking to save his own life, he admitted his fault proactively.
Ye Mengyun’s face remained stern.
"Stand up and speak."
Li Quan hurriedly shakily stood up.
"Who exactly is this Mr. Yan?" Ye Mengyun demanded.
Li Quan quickly said,
"Miss, I... only know that this person is from the Han Family in Shanghai!"
Li Quan dared only say so much. In fact, he had some business dealings with Mr. Yan, but he dared not reveal everything.
If Ye Mengyun had known, he reckoned his death was certain.
Luckily, Ye Mengyun did not ask further; she turned to look at Zhou Yu.
"You saw too, this incident was indeed unexpected, but don’t worry, I will find other channels to gather information about this person."
Ye Mengyun handled the matter quite properly, and Zhou Yu nodded.
"Good, let me know once you find out more."
"Then I’ll be leaving now."
After saying this, Zhou Yu took He Xu’s hand and prepared to leave.
But then, Ye Mengyun spoke up,
"Your matter is finished, but I still have something to say."
Ye Mengyun waved her hand at those around her.
Including Li Quan, everyone immediately bowed and retreated.
Zhou Yu’s heart tightened.
Indeed, his feeling was not wrong.
This woman indeed had something to discuss with him, no wonder she took such efforts in handling this matter.
"Wait a minute, let me ask first, is it good news or bad news?"
"If it’s bad news, then I’m not interested, and I’ll leave!"
