As Ye Qing entered the manor, he noticed a short man watching him from the far end of the loft.

Seeing that Ye Qing was unscathed by the sorcerer's poison powder, the short man was indeed surprised. However, he had no intention of coming downstairs, preferring to hide in the loft to observe Ye Qing's specific condition more closely.

This short man was none other than the senior disciple of the Corpse Ghost Dragon, currently the most powerful sorcerer in the southern lands, Master Nai Kun, who was also the senior brother to these sorcerers here!

Just as Shen Tianjun had described, Master Nai Kun was an extremely cautious individual. Though Ye Qing had entered alone, and there were dozens of sorcerers on his side, he remained vigilant and chose not to descend. He first observed from the loft, ready to flee if the situation turned unfavorable.

Fortunately, Ye Qing had come alone, which made him feel much more at ease. Although it was surprising that Ye Qing was unharmed by the sorcerer's sorcery, he was not overly concerned. The most powerful Southeast Asian sorceries were not used against others but rather employed on oneself to enhance one's strength. Using sorcery against others was considered the lower-tier sorcery. Therefore, why Ye Qing was able to evade the sorcery was not of his concern; he was more focused on assessing Ye Qing's strength and wondering if he could handle him.

Master Nai Kun hadn't known Ye Qing's identity before, but upon hearing his words, he immediately realized who Ye Qing was.

Master Nai Kun was quite familiar with the situation in Beimang Mountain. He had previously sent his third junior brother to lure Ye Qing and two others into the mountain, intending to use the Devouring Demon Flower against them. However, he later received news that Ye Qing emerged alone from Beimang Mountain, while the other two did not. Given Ye Qing's disheveled state upon exiting, he deduced that the other two had likely been devoured by the Devouring Demon Flower.

Master Nai Kun had already investigated that among Ye Qing and the other two, the ones truly powerful were Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi, while Ye Qing's strength was far inferior to theirs. Learning that Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi were trapped in Beimang Mountain gave him much relief. Seeing Ye Qing now, coming alone to his place, only made him chuckle coldly. In his view, Ye Qing had come to meet his doom!

As Ye Qing spoke, a few more sorcerers gathered beneath. Among them, an approximately fifty-year-old man stepped forward, surrounded by others. He scrutinized Ye Qing and said coldly, "So you're Ye Qing!?"

"And who are you?" Ye Qing retorted coldly, simultaneously pondering whether this man was Master Nai Kun.

The man arrogantly replied, "I am Kun Cuo, the fifth junior brother of Master Nai Kun!"

"You're not Nai Kun, then why waste words with me!" Ye Qing glared, striking towards the man immediately.

The man reacted swiftly, stepping back to evade Ye Qing's blow. Meanwhile, he clasped his hands together, muttering some incantation-like words, then suddenly stepped forward with a heavy punch at Ye Qing.

Ye Qing was unconcerned, meeting the punch directly with his own. The outcome, however, was entirely unexpected as Kun Cuo's punch was far beyond his imagination. Ye Qing felt an overwhelming force, involuntarily stepping back three times before stabilizing.

Seeing Ye Qing hadn't been blown away, Kun Cuo was equally astonished. His technique was a unique secret skill of Mighty Power Curse, greatly enhancing his strength with exceptional power. After entering Huaxia, he had used this technique to challenge several Huaxia martial experts, knocking them away with a single punch each, which had given him confidence in his Mighty Power Curse. He thought this punch would send Ye Qing flying, but seeing Ye Qing only step back three times, his face turned somewhat grim.

In truth, Ye Qing was even more frustrated. He had encountered these sorcerers before, all employing underhand tactics against people, lacking personal strength. He never expected Kun Cuo's power would be so immense, forcing him back three steps, catching him completely off guard. Had he known, he wouldn't have clashed fists with Kun Cuo nor suffered such a setback!

After a moment of surprise, Kun Cuo was the first to recover, sneering, "Humph, don't Huaxia's people all claim their martial arts are invincible under the heavens? Surprisingly, a Huaxia martial artist can't even compete with my skills; it's truly laughable. With such meager abilities, do you still wish to see my senior brother?"

In the loft, Master Nai Kun watched all of this unfold. Seeing Ye Qing retreat, his lips curled into a sneer. In his view, Ye Qing was no threat at all; those sorcerers below were more than enough to deal with him.

As Kun Cuo uttered those words, the surrounding sorcerers burst into laughter. To be honest, seeing Ye Qing not succumbing to sorcery earlier had indeed made them somewhat apprehensive. But now, witnessing Ye Qing's discomfiture under Kun Cuo's attack, they naturally dismissed him.

"I think even without Fifth Senior Brother, we can handle him!"

"Yes, yes, Fifth Senior Brother, you take a rest, leave him to us!"

Several sorcerers shouted, wanting to personally deal with Ye Qing, their attitude extremely arrogant.

Ye Qing appeared rather composed, as if he hadn't heard the shouts from these people. He took a few slow steps forward, took a deep breath, and then looked at Kun Cuo, saying, "What if I insist on seeing Nai Kun?"

"Then show us some skills!" Kun Cuo sneered, "If you lack ability, I advise you to scram quickly. Otherwise, you'll lose more than just your face, you might lose your life here too!"

"Is that so?" Ye Qing smiled coldly, slowly walking up to Kun Cuo, saying, "Are you so confident you can kill me?"

"Do I need so many people to kill you? I alone am enough!" shouted one sorcerer as he approached Ye Qing, but before he reached Ye Qing, Ye Qing suddenly struck and threw a heavy punch at his face.

Ye Qing's speed and strength were both formidable, and this punch came extraordinarily suddenly, leaving the sorcerer unprepared. Being punched directly in the face by Ye Qing, he was knocked back, landing heavily on the ground, desperately covering his mouth and nose, yet blood still flowed through his fingers, looking extremely miserable.

Seeing one of their own being knocked back, Kun Cuo was furious, glared and said, "Despicable, you actually ambushed, is this the quality of Huaxia Countrymen?"

"I stood in front of him, hit him face to face, not from behind, how's that an ambush?" Ye Qing coldly glanced at the sorcerer who opened the door, and said deeply, "If this counts as an ambush, then what he did just now, does that also count as an ambush? If so, since he ambushed me once, I've returned the favor once, doesn't that make it even? What's this talk about despicable or not?"

"You..." Kun Cuo was clearly the type with a simple mind and developed limbs, rendered speechless by Ye Qing's words. Stuttering several times, he finally gritted his teeth and said, "Cut the nonsense, Ye Qing, do you dare to fight me properly?"

"With you, do I still need a fight?" Ye Qing coldly replied, "One punch is enough!"

"Such arrogance!" Kun Cuo raged, clenched his fists, made several hand seals, muttered a few incantations, and suddenly roared as he charged at Ye Qing, throwing another heavy punch towards him.

The sorcerers beside Kun Cuo were all excited because this time Kun Cuo used his full strength. In their view, this blow should be enough to send Ye Qing flying!

On this side, Ye Qing also didn't intend to dodge. As Kun Cuo muttered incantations, Ye Qing had already started circulating the inner strength within his body, according to a cultivation technique he learned in the Beimang Mountain cave, channeling his inner strength into his arms. This cultivation technique, left behind by an enlightened monk, was of extraordinary power. Ye Qing had practiced it skillfully, so even before Kun Cuo finished his incantation, the true qi within him had filled his arms.

Seeing Kun Cuo's punch coming, Ye Qing unhesitatingly counterpunched back, meeting Kun Cuo's fist head-on.

With a thunderous sound, in the midst of the sorcerers' excited gazes, fists collided. However, the result took all the sorcerers by surprise!

This time, Ye Qing stood proudly, unmoving, while Kun Cuo was sent flying by Ye Qing's punch. The power of Ye Qing's punch was unknown, but Kun Cuo flew five to six meters away, crashing into the flowerbed behind before stopping. Struggling several times, barely managing to get up, he involuntarily spat out several mouthfuls of blood, evidently having suffered internal injuries.

The surrounding sorcerers originally anticipated seeing Ye Qing being sent flying, but unexpectedly, it was not Ye Qing, but their Fifth Senior Brother Kun Cuo who was knocked away. For a moment, everyone was stunned, unable to process what had happened for a long time. What was going on, how was Kun Cuo knocked away?

Upstairs, Grand Master Nai Kun also stood up directly, with a face full of disbelief. In his view, Kun Cuo could handle Ye Qing. Who could have imagined, Ye Qing would have such an astonishing reversal, and Kun Cuo would be knocked flying?

Beside Grand Master Nai Kun were several others, precisely his junior brothers. Seeing Kun Cuo injured, these people were also somewhat astonished, and one of them whispered, "Senior Brother, should we go down?"

Grand Master Nai Kun paused slightly, then slowly shook his head, whispering, "Let's observe for now."

These people understood Grand Master Nai Kun's character, knowing he was concerned about potential dangers. Thus, they also said nothing, staying beside him, quietly observing the situation below.
