"Does this Mr. Bai know where I am all along?"
Ye Ling muttered to himself when Mr. Bai blocked his path.
Mr. Bai's actions clearly indicated that he had discovered Ye Ling's intention to find the Primordial Wisdom King and had deliberately obstructed the passage.
Ye Ling had sacrificed half of his body to make Tianji and Kui Ling fight. Now, it would take him some time to recover to his peak.
Furthermore, with the other Seven Pillars present, it was definitely not a wise choice for Ye Ling to fall out with Mr. Bai at this moment.
Mr. Bai, as if unaware of Ye Ling's whereabouts, quietly watched Tianji and Kui Ling battle without making any move.
"Let's try to get around him first."
Seeing that Mr. Bai had no intention of leaving, Ye Ling did not want to wait for death. He quietly approached Mr. Bai, intending to use his "World" ability to create a momentary illusion for Mr. Bai and slip past.
However, before Ye Ling could get close to Mr. Bai, he felt a gentle force emanating from Mr. Bai, pushing him back.
"This guy is definitely doing this on purpose!"
Feeling Mr. Bai's power, Ye Ling immediately confirmed that Mr. Bai knew everything. He no longer hid and transmitted his voice to Mr. Bai, "Mr. Bai, what do you mean by this?"
Upon hearing Ye Ling's transmission, the corner of Mr. Bai's mouth curved slightly beneath his mask. "Originally, I didn't plan to bet on you. But after seeing your performance this time, I suddenly want to make a deal with you."
"A deal?" Ye Ling frowned.
"I can let you pass, allowing you to sneak in and deal with the Primordial Wisdom King. I can even help you conceal your aura so that you can eliminate the Primordial Wisdom King without a sound," Mr. Bai chuckled. "But in return, you need to help me with something."
"What is it that you need my help with?" Ye Ling asked.
Ye Ling could tell that Mr. Bai was the most deeply hidden among the Seven Pillars, and his strength might even surpass Tianji's!
Someone like Mr. Bai was already at the pinnacle of Primordial Chaos. Even the Observers were merely ants in his grasp...
Ye Ling found it hard to imagine what in Primordial Chaos could require his assistance for Mr. Bai.
"Don't worry, what I need you to do is very simple and will not affect your interests," Mr. Bai continued to transmit. "I want you to find someone, take her as your disciple, and teach her cultivation."
"You want me to take a disciple?" Ye Ling was stunned. "What are you up to?"
"This is my only condition. If you agree, I will let you pass," Mr. Bai said with a faint smile in his eyes. "Otherwise, you won't be able to see the Primordial Wisdom King today."
"Are you threatening me?"
"Uh-huh, you can think of it that way," Mr. Bai chuckled. "Also, if you don't agree, Tianji and the other Seven Pillars present will know your location immediately."
"It seems I have no choice..." Ye Ling sighed softly. "But I must remind you, I'm not very good at teaching disciples. What level that person can reach depends entirely on their own fortune."
"Don't worry, her talent is beyond your imagination."
Mr. Bai smiled slightly, stepped aside, and cleared a path for Ye Ling.
"You're letting me pass just like that? Without any contract?"
Ye Ling's heart skipped a beat when Mr. Bai suddenly moved aside, feeling a bit worried that Mr. Bai might be setting a trap.
"After you've completed your task, someone will naturally come to find you. Of course... if you die here today, our deal will be meaningless," Mr. Bai said calmly, not intending to bind Ye Ling with a contract.
"Is this some kind of trial for me?" Ye Ling asked with a smile.
"Perhaps... After all, even if I let you off easy, you still have to face Tianji and the other Seven Pillars, and the Primordial Wisdom King is also quite powerful. Even with some interesting tricks up your sleeve, you might not survive."
"Then I'll have to work hard to survive."
"I hope you can survive too... After all, you are the first hope I've seen in many years."
Mr. Bai cast a deep glance in Ye Ling's direction and then fell silent, his attention fully focused on Tianji and Kui Ling.
"The first hope? What does that mean?" Ye Ling muttered, but he didn't dwell on the words. He immediately moved towards the entrance behind Mr. Bai.
The battle between Tianji and Kui Ling could end at any moment, and he needed to absorb the Primordial Wisdom King as quickly as possible.
Mr. Bai felt a gust of wind brush past him, and his dark eyes became even deeper.
"This kid... perhaps, he can truly save my daughter from the abyss."
Mr. Bai murmured to himself, a wisp of white mist escaping his palm, quietly sealing the spatial rift behind him.
Meanwhile, Ye Ling once again entered the virtual space where the Primordial Wisdom King resided and reformed his human body.
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire flew out from Ye Ling's body and asked, "Kid, can that Mr. Bai be trusted?"
"I don't know... But in the current situation, I can only choose to trust him." Ye Ling shook his head, not entirely trusting Mr. Bai.
"Sigh... I can't see through that guy at all. As one of the Seven Pillars, he seems to not care about the interests of the 'Brain' at all. I wonder what he really wants to do?"
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire sighed slightly. He had feared many people in his life, and Mr. Bai was one of the few he feared the most, besides good and evil.
Even the rampaging Tianji hadn't made him feel such immense pressure.
Ye Ling nodded slightly in agreement with the World-Destroying Spirit Fire's words and then said, "Indeed... I also can't quite figure him out. However, since he could detect my location and didn't expose me, it means he's at least not genuinely on the side of the Observers... If we can win over such a powerful expert, it would be a great help."
"However, Mr. Bai is not our friend yet, so we need to prepare for both scenarios..."
After saying that, Ye Ling injected a portion of Bai Di Yan and Life-Death Qi into the World-Destroying Spirit Fire. At the same time, he constructed a teleportation array using runes and transferred everyone from his small world into the World-Destroying Spirit Fire's small world.
"World-Destroying Spirit Fire, I will use runes to teleport you to the Tianyi Universe later. Once you get back, hide yourself immediately. If anything happens to me, I can also use you to teleport away."
"No problem, leave it to me. You can go all out." The World-Destroying Spirit Fire patted his chest to guarantee.
"Mhm... If there are any problems, discuss them with Tianxing, don't act impulsively." Ye Ling reminded the World-Destroying Spirit Fire again, then activated the runes to teleport the World-Destroying Spirit Fire away.
After paving his retreat, Ye Ling took a deep breath and looked into the depths of space.
There, endless garbled code formed the giant face of the Primordial Wisdom King... as if it were gestating something.
