Ye Ling quickly formulated a plan. He cleared his throat and said coldly to Balgo, "Hmph, it took you this long to realize this seat is the Eighth Star Pillar? Are your eyes blind?"
Balgo trembled and kowtowed frantically to Ye Ling, "My lord, spare me! This lowly one has offended you just now, it was my lack of foresight! But my lord, you must believe, I am wholeheartedly dedicated to the great cause of the Lord of the Upper Realm, wanting to capture the Chosen One. I truly did not know my lord had already successfully devoured the Chosen One!"
Seeing Balgo take the bait, Ye Ling's eyes gleamed with amusement. He continued to threaten, "Do you think a few kowtows will earn you your life?"
Balgo became even more flustered, stammering, "M-my lord, this lowly one truly did not intend to offend! As long as my lord spares my life, this lowly one is willing to do anything!"
Ye Ling said, "First, you will exit the Moon Wheel Saintess, and simultaneously erase all the reincarnation information of Bai Ling that you have obtained!"
"Yes, yes... this lowly one will do it now!"
At this moment, Balgo was utterly terrified, his brain had practically stopped functioning. Without a second word, he flew out of the Moon Wheel Saintess's body and simultaneously deleted the reincarnation information of Bai Ling that he had deceitfully acquired.
Ye Ling watched the black mist that flew out of the Moon Wheel Saintess and floated before him, grasping it with his hand.
A bone-chilling dark power surged from Ye Ling's palm, permeating Balgo's body and probing his memories.
Balgo felt Ye Ling's power continuously eroding his entire being, and he cried out in fear, "M-my lord, this lowly one has done as you said, please spare my life! I beg you, my lord!"
Ye Ling replied, "Rest assured, I have no intention of killing you. I am only doing this because you are a subordinate of the Third Star Pillar."
"You should also be aware that before I became the Eighth Star Pillar, I had a minor conflict with the Third Star Pillar. Although we are now colleagues, there are still some matters that require caution. You understand, right?"
Balgo replied tremblingly, "I-I understand."
"It's good that you understand."
Ye Ling smiled slightly. After reading Balgo's memories and confirming the general layout of the Seven Star Pillars in the Nine Heavens Realm, he finally released Balgo and said to him, "You may return. Help me deliver a message to the Third Star Pillar. I wish to invite him out for a talk."
"Yes... this lowly one thanks my lord for sparing my life. This lowly one will definitely deliver the message!"
Balgo expressed his gratitude to Ye Ling, then tore open the void and fled the scene in a sorry state.
After Balgo left, the World-Destroying Spirit Fire asked, "What are your plans now? Do you intend to have Balgo lure out the Third Star Pillar, and then you kill him?"
"Shallow!" Ye Ling mocked the World-Destroying Spirit Fire. "I finally have this opportunity to be a mole. Killing the Third Star Pillar, wouldn't that be a waste of my identity as the Eighth Star Pillar?"
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire retorted, "You call me shallow? Then tell me, what do you intend to do with this identity? You're not actually going to work for the Lord of the Upper Realm, are you?"
Ye Ling chuckled, "That's not quite it. I simply want to use the Third Star Pillar as a breakthrough point to eliminate all the Seven Star Pillars and all the dark forces that have come to the Nine Heavens Realm!"
After hearing Ye Ling's answer, the World-Destroying Spirit Fire scoffed, "Tch! I thought you had some grand plan, but in the end, it's all just fighting and killing!"
Ye Ling teased, "No matter what, my thoughts are a bit deeper than yours."
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire roared, "Are you rebelling against heaven, you brat? I am, after all, the dignified World-Destroying Spirit Fire, an existence that strikes fear into countless timelines. You'd better be polite to me!"
Ye Ling raised an eyebrow, "What? Want to spar with me?"
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire said, "I am too exhausted today and not suitable for combat. Once I've rested, I'll deal with you!"
Ye Ling chuckled, "Then when will you be well-rested? Shall we schedule a fight?"
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire roared, "Brat, are you done? That's enough, I have my pride!"
Although the World-Destroying Spirit Fire was defiant and refused to back down, he knew very well that he was no match for Ye Ling anymore.
Only a fool would fight Ye Ling!
Bai Ling, standing nearby, couldn't hear Ye Ling and the World-Destroying Spirit Fire bickering. She was completely bewildered, not understanding what had just happened.
The Moon Wheel Saintess suddenly knelt and begged Ye Ling for mercy, then a black mist filled with ominous energy flew out of the Moon Wheel Saintess's body, and then she felt all the dark power that had been eroding her body disappear...
The events that transpired in such a short time were simply too overwhelming!
She even felt like her brain was about to fry!
However, despite all that had happened, Bai Ling did not forget why she had sought out Ye Ling today. She temporarily suppressed the unbelievable events in her heart and asked Ye Ling, "Ye... Senior, shouldn't we be going to Yi Xian Tian?"
Ye Ling replied flatly, "No need to go."
"No need to go?" Bai Ling was confused again, "I don't understand."
Ye Ling explained, "I just read Balgo's memories. The elders from your sect have all been killed by him, not even ashes remain."
"H-have been killed?" Bai Ling's face instantly turned ashen. She stumbled backward in disbelief, unwilling to accept Ye Ling's words.
"Are you telling the truth...?"
Those elders were the core strength of their Qing Yue Sect. If they were all dead, their Qing Yue Sect would suffer a severe blow!
Thinking of this, Bai Ling's expression grew even more grim.
Seeing Bai Ling's despairing expression, Ye Ling couldn't help but laugh, "What's the big deal?"
"W-what's the big deal?"
Bai Ling stared at Ye Ling, suddenly feeling an immense chill.
Indeed, how could a powerful being like Ye Ling care about the lives of a few elders from her Qing Yue Sect?
Bai Ling shook her head with a wry smile. However, she also knew that the matter of the Qing Yue Sect elders had nothing to do with Ye Ling, and she couldn't blame him.
Moreover, her relationship with Ye Ling was merely a transaction. Ye Ling wouldn't care about the lives of the Qing Yue Sect elders!
With these thoughts, Bai Ling's gaze gradually turned indifferent. She said to Ye Ling, "Senior, I understand. My Qing Yue Sect will still fulfill its promise to you..."
However, before she could finish speaking, Ye Ling raised his hand and beckoned. Then, the three missing elders from her sect reappeared before her at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Three living people lay peacefully on the ground, breathing steadily.
"This, this..."
Bai Ling's pupils widened in shock as she saw the resurrected elders. Her brain was completely overloaded by the sheer volume of information!
Bai Ling looked at Ye Ling in astonishment and asked excitedly, "W-what's going on? Didn't you say my sect's elders were killed by Balgo? Were you lying to me just now?"
Ye Ling clapped his hands and asked Bai Ling, "You're already at the Half-Step Supreme realm, and you still don't know about the Great Dao of Reincarnation?"
"Great Dao of Reincarnation?" Bai Ling was stunned at first, then even more shocked, "Are you saying you revived them using the Great Dao of Reincarnation?"
"What a joke?"
She also mastered the Great Dao of Reincarnation, so she naturally knew that the Great Dao of Reincarnation could bring the dead back to life!
However, the conditions for reviving the dead through the Great Dao of Reincarnation were actually quite stringent!
Reviving ordinary people was relatively easier, but reviving cultivators required a hundredfold or even thousandfold price!
Her sect's elders were at the Dao Extreme cultivation level. Even if she only revived one of them, it would cost her half her life, and this was under the premise that their bodies were intact and their souls were not scattered!
Yet Ye Ling, without any medium, and without even having seen her sect's elders, revived three Dao Extreme cultivators who had turned to ash with a mere wave of his hand...
Such an unfathomable ability, wasn't it akin to a creator god?
