Approaching nighttime, Sun Ning came over to report some situations to Ye Fan.

"...Mr. Ye, regarding the young lady in Ninghai City, we have temporarily arranged for her to stay in the villa. Do you have any special instructions?"

Ye Fan took a moment to realize that the young lady Sun Ning mentioned was the princess from the underground kingdom he brought back from underground. Since witnessing him awaken the little Red Crystal and restore the large blue crystal, she had completely regarded him as a godly figure.

However, Ye Fan had no interest in someone who never complied with him, even if she offered herself willingly, he still had no feelings for her.

"Just arrange for her casually. She's already at the Golden Core Stage. If she wants to leave, you won't be able to stop her anyway," Ye Fan said.

After it officially turned night, Ye Fan left the hotel with Li Zhaojun, Min Shang, Lan Jing, and Qing Xu, while Han Qing'er, like a little resentful wife secluded in the deep chambers, sent them off to the rooftop. Ye Fan wouldn't allow her to follow; she wasn't qualified to stay by his side.

This time, Ye Fan's destination was to cross the Pacific Ocean towards the Americas, searching for the whereabouts of Wu Ding, Elder Wu, and Li Bei along the way.

From Hua Hai City to the east, each timezone crossed was another hour later. At this time, the entire Pacific Ocean was engulfed in darkness.

As the group flew above the vast nighttime Pacific Ocean, they could sense a majesty above ordinary people. Even the sky and the vast ocean seemed like insignificant dust at their feet. This is where cultivators transcend the mundane world.

The group's flying speed was very fast. Ye Fan was also sensing around for any existence of spiritual energy, but Wu Ding and Elder Wu were experts with Body Integration Realm skills. They knew how to hide their cultivation; it was easier for Ye Fan to find Li Bei.

Following the global positioning system given by Sun Ning, Ye Fan took routes with islands, but until they set foot on the western coast of the Americas, they found no trace of spiritual energy entities.

By the time they arrived in the Americas, it was already two or three o'clock in the local late night. Even beneath the cities on the west coast, it was deep into the night.

"Unable to find the senior masters, Ye Fan, should we return to Hua Hai City?" Li Zhaojun asked.

Ye Fan didn't answer but looked at a speeding sports car on a distant highway. This was no longer the land of Hua Xia but the land of Westerners. Lan Jing used spiritual sense to probe over there and then looked at Ye Fan, saying, "It seems different."

Qing Xu widened her eyes and asked, "Sister Lan Jing, what's different?"

"Different from you and me; I can't put it into words," Lan Jing thought for a moment and answered very seriously.

Li Zhaojun said, "This is the Westerner's world. They regard gods as one entity, differing from our beliefs, but among them, there are also cultivators. This was something my former master said, Ye Fan... is that right?"

The master Li Zhaojun mentioned was Qing Lian, and since Qing Lian had been killed by Ye Fan, it always stood between Li Zhaojun and Ye Fan as a barrier.

"Maybe, I don't know exactly," Ye Fan replied, and at this moment, the speeding sports car had already reached them and stopped upon seeing them.

Three young Western men jumped down from the sports car, all appearing about twenty years old. Seeing the group, they whistled and cheered as they approached.

They seemed to have discovered a treasure, talking in an incomprehensible foreign language to Ye Fan's group, but except for Ye Fan and Li Zhaojun, none of the others could understand.

Qing Xu asked, "Senior brother, what are they saying? They look annoying."

Ye Fan chuckled and said, "They're asking if we need a ride. Actually, they're just trying to chat us up. Just ignore them."

The three Western hooligans didn't give up and came over, seemingly thinking that there were three men, and only Ye Fan on this side, they had a guaranteed win. Qing Xu never tolerated behavior she deemed unpleasant; she directly struck with a palm, sending the car the three hooligans came in flying into the sky, and it exploded in mid-air, scattering as debris on the ground.

Unlike the incident in Ninghai City, these three Western hooligans did not act out of fear but instead cheered loudly, some even taking off their shirts to cheer for their once-intact car that was now blown apart.

Qing Xu was baffled, asking, "Senior brother, doing this, they're not afraid?"

"If they sober up, they will be scared, but these guys are not drunk; they're high. Their worldview is different from ours," Ye Fan said, "Let's go!"

Since they were just some high local American youths, Ye Fan didn't worry about flying in front of them causing panic. The group resumed flying, this time along the western coastline of the Americas, attempting another search.

More than half an hour had passed, and the group reached the skies over South America before Ye Fan realized they temporarily had no way to find the whereabouts of Wu Ding and others. Thus, they decided to return to Hua Hai City.

...

...

Returning to Hua Hai City, it was only around ten o'clock in the evening.

This outing took less than three hours in total, a bit longer than Ye Fan had expected, mainly due to some detours. If traveling directly, Ye Fan might circle the globe in under two hours.

"Seems like there's no need to take a plane when going out in the future, I'm flying faster than a rocket," Ye Fan said with a smile.

Li Zhaojun nodded; she was about to enter the room with Ye Fan when Sun Ning suddenly walked over holding a mobile phone, saying, "Mr. Ye, we just received the news that a northern force sent people to attack Hua Hai University campus intending to abduct Miss Yang. They're currently engaged in fierce battle with our undercover protection personnel on campus. Should you...?"

Li Zhaojun curiously looked at Ye Fan; she did not know who the "Miss Yang" Sun Ning referred to was.

"She is a classmate of Yaoyao's, whom I saw when I brought Yaoyao to the university this morning," Ye Fan explained.

Li Zhaojun nodded; she didn't know Yang Xiaoting, but she was well-acquainted with Qin Mengyao, especially given the connection through Tantai Wanrong.

"You guys go inside to rest first; I'll be back shortly!"

After instructing them, Ye Fan let Li Zhaojun and the others enter the room to meditate, while he headed towards the direction of the Hua Hai University campus. Since it was nighttime, he did not need to use a vehicle and flew directly, which would only take a few seconds.

When Ye Fan reached the vicinity of the female dormitory he visited during the day, he sensed that projectiles were still being launched below. However, since both sides did not want to escalate the situation, the battle was nearly silent, with suppressors on the weapons. The armed personnel on both sides numbered at least forty to fifty people, and they wielded heavy firepower, which was not ordinary pistols but highly destructive weapons.

Even with suppressors, if the university had already started the semester and there were more people, such a firefight would certainly have triggered massive panic.

Ye Fan did not concern himself with the firefight outside, heading directly inside the dormitory building. He sensed two young women in Qin Mengyao's room on the fourth floor clinging to each other nervously while the sound of gunfire continued in the hallway.
