Wang Ye knew that the women around him had done some things without telling him.

But since they hadn't told him, Wang Ye cooperated by not asking too many questions.

In this way, when they did tell Wang Ye, he could feel a hundred percent surprise.

Meanwhile, Long Qingtian, who had remained silent during the journey that brought Wang Ye here, was now giving Wang Ye instructions, telling him how to be careful.

Wang Ye felt that Long Qingtian hadn't given these instructions before because Xu Heng had always been following along.

And it was Xu Heng who did the instructing.

But this time, Xu Heng wasn't with them, and without Xu Heng's guidance, Long Qingtian started to give instructions directly.

While listening to Long Qingtian give Wang Ye instructions, Mian Xiaoxue eventually glanced at Long Qingtian with impatience and spoke,

"You're a grown man rambling on for so long, isn't it annoying?"

She didn't understand why Long Qingtian kept droning on.

In Mian Xiaoxue's view, this was her responsibility, but now Long Qingtian was taking it all on himself, making her feel like she, as his wife, had no presence at all.

Long Qingtian was a bit embarrassed, but he also knew that now it would be better to let Mian Xiaoxue speak, so he stopped instructing Wang Ye himself.

Instead, he allowed Mian Xiaoxue to start giving the instructions.

...

Ma Country.

The Golden Desert.

This was the location of the "ancient ruins" as mentioned by Ma Country.

In previous battles with Wang Ye, they had taken place next to the ocean, allowing Wang Ye to use the advantage of the sea to defeat and attack his opponents.

Therefore, Ma Country had learned its lesson and, when selecting the site for the battle, did not choose the sea again; they chose the desert instead.

The desert was where water was scarcest.

So here, even if Wang Ye wanted to utilize the power of water, he wouldn't be able to unleash its full force.

Wang Ye, Long Qingtian, and Mian Xiaoxue landed their helicopter in the middle of the desert, which, due to the rotation of its blades, whipped up a cloud of yellow sand as it descended.

As soon as Long Qingtian disembarked, he looked in a particular direction where a pale-skinned man was lying leisurely under a parasol, as if he were there to enjoy the desert.

It looked like he was there for a casual visit.

However, as soon as Long Qingtian caught sight of the man, his eyes narrowed.

The man's strength was almost equal to his own.

It seemed that this time they were determined to deal with Wang Ye once and for all, so they had sent a top-tier warrior to be here.

While they dealt with Wang Ye, this person could restrain Long Qingtian.

Long Qingtian sneered and called out to the man, "Titan, don't you find it boring to come here today just to watch them explore the ancient ruins?"

At Long Qingtian's words, Titan also laughed and replied, "Boring? Of course not."

"After all, there are many dangers in the ancient ruins. Watching from here as they fall into danger and how they overcome it, isn't that interesting?"

At this, Titan narrowed his eyes at Long Qingtian and asked, "I suspect, Boss Long, that the reason you're here is just to be an onlooker, right?"

Appreciators.

But not participants.

That is to say, Titan had threatened Long Qingtian from the very beginning, informing Long Qingtian that, should a fight arise between the two sides, there would be no need for Long Qingtian to take action; they would simply stand by and watch.

Long Qingtian sneered and paid no further attention to Titan.

Later, if Wang Ye found himself under threat, he surely would intervene when necessary.

However, Titan would be there too, likely to hold him back.

By that time, they would probably have to rely on Wang Ye and Wang Ye's Shiniang and the others.

While Long Qingtian chatted with Titan, another group of four or five elderly people approached Wang Ye.

As they walked towards Wang Ye, sizing him up, their stares made Wang Ye quite uncomfortable.

Wang Ye could tell that as they scrutinized him, they viewed him as someone who could easily be slaughtered at their whim. These people were already planning in their minds where to start when they would eventually take him down.

Yet, Wang Ye found their assumptions a little presumptuous. The honorable guests still had to put on an act, being courteous on the surface while secretly plotting to ruthlessly eliminate each other when the time came.

"The four of you together must be around 300 years old, right? Everyone should be a bit more honest. Show your true age; adopt an appearance that fits it. You are almost 80 years old, and yet here you pretend to be young. Don't you feel any sense of shame?"

Wang Ye began his provocation by teasing the three "youngsters" across from him.

Behind Wang Ye, Mian Xiaoxue heard his words and shot him a fierce glare. Why did she feel like Wang Ye was talking about her?

And right as Wang Ye spoke, there was a subtle change in his facial expression.

It was only after his words had left his mouth that he realized his comment had inadvertently included Mian Xiaoxue.

"Shiniang, I wasn't talking about you,"

Wang Ye specifically communicated to Mian Xiaoxue to clarify.

Mian Xiaoxue's expression then improved a great deal.

However, the three "youngsters" from behind the elderly group suddenly looked displeased.

With their formidable strength, they had wanted to maintain a more youthful appearance, but Wang Ye had bluntly exposed their real age.

The three "youngsters" transformed back into their elderly forms, and all eight of the elderly individuals fixed their gazes on Wang Ye, a hint of murderous intent flickering within.

Wang Ye inwardly clicked his tongue.

Eight of them!

These foreigners really held him in high regard!

Eight double S-level powerhouses.

All of them were there to deal with him.

Moreover, these eight double S-level powerhouses likely had more than just their apparent strength; Wang Ye had an intuition that they also held additional tricks up their sleeves to use as trump cards against him.

The determination of these foreigners to take him down was too intense.

"Alas."

Wang Ye sighed.

What a plight.
