The moment Yuan and Officer Mei appeared in Sector 18, they could feel vibrations in the air, as well as noticeably shaking in the ground, as if there were an active earthquake.
"What is going on?" Yuan asked as he continued running behind Officer Mei.
"There appears to be an ongoing fight," she replied.
"..."
Yuan was left speechless by the cause of the incident, as he had expected something much worse given her urgency.
Once they arrived at the scene, Yuan quickly realized that it was even worse than he had imagined.
Due to the cultivation-suppressing formations that enveloped the entire city, the two people involved could only throw ordinary punches and kicks. Not only were they unable to use any techniques, but they fought as though neither had ever been in a fight before.
Yuan visibly cringed at how ridiculous the scene looked. When he turned to Officer Mei, she was already charging toward the two fighters with a solemn expression.
"Hey! Both of you! Stop it!" she shouted.
However, they completely ignored her and continued throwing wild attacks at one another.
Seeing this, Officer Mei’s expression darkened.
The moment she reached them, she threw two powerful punches, each landing squarely in their stomachs. The impact forced both men to their knees, clutching their abdomens as their faces twisted in pain.
Then, without a word, she restrained them in the same golden binding that she used to restraint Yuan before.
After being restrained, the two fighters quickly calmed down.
"So, why were the two of you fighting?" Officer Mei questioned them.
"He bumped into me," one of them said.
"No! HE bumped into me!" the other one immediately refuted.
"..."
Officer Mei rubbed her eyes and sighed out loud, "I will give you two choices. One, I remove your restraints, and the two of you shake hands and walk away, or two... I bring you back to the station and write you down, which will result in a loss of credentials. Which would you prefer?"
The two men stared at each other for a moment before responding, "One..."
Officer Mei released their restraints and watched them shake hands before parting ways as if nothing had happened.
"What was that about?" Yuan remarked with a dumbfounded face.
"What do you mean? Were you expecting something else?" Officer Mei looked at him with raised eyebrows.
"Honestly, I was. You had such a serious expression on your face that I thought something major had happened."
"Something major? Like what?"
Yuan shook his head and said, "Never mind."
He then looked at the sky and continued, "Can I ask you about the formation that suppresses our cultivation? What is its purpose?"
"Isn’t it obvious? It’s to protect this world from ourselves," she quickly replied.
"Take those two idiots just now, for example. If they had access to their cultivation, their little scuffle could’ve been disastrous."
