Director Ding's throat instantly went dry and felt like it was on fire, and his heart was pounding wildly under his ribs, almost bursting out of his chest.

He didn't even have time to think about the order at the scene; he just subconsciously straightened his crisp police uniform and started running towards the figure.

He suddenly stopped three steps away from Ye An, his body stiff as a javelin, his posture humble and respectful to the core.

"Master Ye...?"

His voice had a barely perceptible dryness.

Ye An stopped and looked at him with indifferent eyes, as if he were just glancing at a speck of dust.

Do you know me?

The question sounded casual, but to Director Ding, it was more impactful than the extraordinary power the bronze gate had just displayed.

He bent over even deeper, his voice trembling slightly with excitement, without even realizing it himself.

"Master Ye! I've long admired your name! Last time on the Huangpu River, I was tasked with handling the aftermath for you..."

He lowered his voice as much as possible, afraid that his words would disturb this important figure whose depth he could not fathom.

Unfortunately, he ignored the ears that were perked up around him.

The martial artists present all had keen hearing, and these whispers resounded clearly in everyone's ears like thunder.

"hiss--"

The gasps of breath rose in unison from the crowd, like a chilling wave.

Countless gazes, filled with shock, fear, and disbelief, were fixed on Ye An.

Finally, the legend that made Duan Changfeng kneel in public and wiped out the century-old Li family's secret treasure in one night overlapped with the seemingly ordinary young man in front of everyone's shocked minds!

"Master Ye...it really is him!"

"My God, the legendary ruthless character is actually so young?"

"No wonder...no wonder Director Ding looked like that, it's like he's met a living ancestor..."

Are you kidding me!

Why would someone with a military background need to compete with them for the so-called opportunity of immortality?

If he wants it, who would dare say no?

Be careful, someone might come to your house with a rocket launcher in the middle of the night!

Ye An remained oblivious to the overwhelming emotional turmoil around him.

He merely nodded slightly to Director Ding in acknowledgment of his greeting, and then cut straight to the point:

"What's the situation now?"

Director Ding immediately became extremely vigilant, not daring to be negligent in the slightest, and reported to his superior at top speed:

"Reporting to Master Ye! Half an hour ago, this giant bronze gate suddenly opened by itself. All the top experts present at the time, including the successors of Longhu Mountain and Elder Feng of the Northern Martial Arts Alliance, rushed in immediately."

"We also sent a retainer to follow closely behind, but..."

A bitter and helpless look appeared on Director Ding's face: "Less than five minutes after they went in, the door was closed again, the barrier was restored, and no one can get close anymore. Our people, to this day... have been completely out of contact."

Upon hearing this, Ye An's expression remained unchanged. He ignored the other party and instead strode forward, slowly flying towards the towering bronze gate, which was hundreds of feet high.

His movement instantly captivated the hearts of everyone present.

Thousands of eyes converged on him, a mixture of expectation and awe, but mostly confusion and shock.

What does he want to do?

Should we follow in the footsteps of that Grandmaster Liu and force our way in?

That's a restriction left behind by an immortal!

Even experts at the Celestial Realm can only wait obediently outside. He is all alone. Even if his martial arts are extraordinary, can he withstand the methods of an immortal?

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Ye An's steps were extremely steady.

The sea breeze tousled his ink-black hair and the hem of his clothes. Against the backdrop of the towering bronze gate, his solitary figure appeared small, yet it exuded an indescribable sense of aloofness and composure.

When he was only ten meters away from the giant gate, he finally stopped.

The onlookers held their breath, their hearts leaping into their throats.

However, the dramatic scene of breaking down the door that I had imagined did not occur.

Ye An did not make a move, and there was not even a trace of true energy fluctuation.

He merely raised his eyes slightly, his gaze falling silently on the intricate and ancient runes on the door.

To outsiders, these runes exude an aura of mystery and terror, an absolute forbidden zone where touching them guarantees certain death.

"This seems to be... a second-tier formation?"

However, under Ye An's vast divine sense, this was merely a second-order formation with a fairly sophisticated structure, at most equivalent to the work of a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the cultivation world.

Although the array patterns it contained were more complex than the first-order arrays he had learned from the Jade Pendant of Transmission.

But no matter how things change, the essence remains the same.

The effect is simply to provide protection and isolate it from the outside world.

With Ye An's current vast divine sense, comparable to that of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, it would be incredibly easy for him to see through it.

While he was quietly observing, his divine sense was already pouring out silently like a tide.

Time passed by, second by second.

One minute……

Two minutes...

Ye An remained motionless.

The crowd on the shore began to stir.

"What's wrong? Why isn't he moving?"

"Could it be that they're too afraid to go up because they saw how powerful this restriction is?"

"I think so. After all, it is a method left by the immortals. No matter how powerful a person is, he has to weigh it carefully."

Just as these discussions began.

A sudden change has occurred!

An invisible, terrifying pressure emanated from him and quietly spread outwards.

This pressure was completely different from the pressure aura of martial arts masters; it was purer and more ancient, like an absolute crushing force from a higher level of life.

Of all those around him, Director Ding felt it most acutely.

"This, this is...!"

He felt an indescribable terror descend upon him, as if an ancient divine mountain had pressed down on his soul.

He suddenly felt breathless, his legs went weak, and he almost collapsed to his knees uncontrollably.

Director Ding stared in horror at Ye An's retreating figure.

This oppressive force... is a hundred times more terrifying than all the previous Celestial Realm experts combined!

Just how extraordinary is this young man?!

next moment.

Just when everyone thought an earth-shattering collision was about to erupt, an unexpected change occurred!

The bronze gate, which had once filled countless martial artists with despair and easily devoured the lives of Grandmasters of Internal Energy, suddenly froze without warning, its surface shimmering with a faint blue light.

Immediately afterwards, as if an invisible, all-encompassing hand swept across the sky, all the light vanished instantly like the receding tide.

The terrifying, chilling force of the restriction that had been hovering over the door vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye!

"Buzz—"

A deep, resonant sound, like a sigh that has transcended time, reverberated in everyone's heart.

The entire venue was deathly silent.

The coastline, which was turbulent just a moment ago, is now so quiet that only the sound of heartbeats can be heard.

Thousands of people seemed to be frozen in place, all staring wide-eyed, their eyes almost bulging out of their sockets, their faces filled with utter disbelief.

Director Ding's legs went completely weak, and if his bodyguard hadn't caught him in time, he probably would have collapsed to the ground.

It's...broken?!

It broke after just one casual glance?!

That's a restriction left behind by an immortal!
