As the Black Coffin Society members in the workshop vanished in the blink of an eye, the crippled elder and Wang Shi were instantly filled with boundless fear, the pressure reaching its peak!
What kind of monster was this?
The methods Ye Ling had just displayed were something they had never witnessed before!
The two looked at Ye Ling in terror, their mouths dry, unable to utter a single word, their minds ceasing to function.
Ye Ling smiled at the two terrified men and asked, "Do I need to repeat what I said?"
The two immediately shook their heads like rattles!
At this moment, Wang Shi had cursed the ancestors of the crippled elder countless times in his heart, even wishing he could tear the crippled elder limb from limb!
The cultivators Wang Shi had brought to this workshop were all from their Elite Faction.
He had originally intended to capture Ye Ling and Zhang Xia, and then, amidst the chaos, cripple the crippled elder's cultivation, thereby striking a blow against the Elder Faction's arrogance.
But now, Ye Ling had eliminated all the elites of their Elite Faction with a single move. Their Elite Faction's strength had suffered a heavy blow, and even if they escaped, their Elite Faction's days within the Black Coffin Society would be far from easy!
What made Wang Shi even more anxious was that with Ye Ling's interference, their Black Coffin Society's plan to attack the Martial Marquis Sect would most likely be shelved.
When Bai Yu found out about this, Wang Shi, as a prominent figure of the Elite Faction, would undoubtedly face severe repercussions!
As for the crippled elder, he could no longer concern himself with the factional struggle with Wang Shi; he only wanted to survive.
After feeling Ye Ling's oppressive aura twice, the crippled elder realized that Ye Ling was not a fool. He dared to come to their Black Coffin Society's secret stronghold without any support because he possessed absolute confidence!
Ye Ling's strength might not be inferior to their Guild Leader, Bai Yu!
Realizing this, the crippled elder began to think of a way out, how to survive in this dire situation.
The crippled elder pursed his lips, forcibly stabilizing his emotions, and forced a strained smile onto his face, saying to Ye Ling, "M-M-M-Mister... This... this was all a misunderstanding, I was just joking with you!"
"A misunderstanding?" Ye Ling chuckled.
Seeing Ye Ling's smile, the crippled elder's hair stood on end, and he hurriedly said, "It truly was a misunderstanding. I'll take you to the Guild Leader right now, there won't be any more ambushes!"
As if joking, Ye Ling had defeated more than half of their Black Coffin Society's elites with a single move. With such strength, ambushing him would only be sending sheep to the slaughter.
Having said that, fearing Ye Ling would kill him, the crippled elder immediately shifted the blame, saying, "Mister, the people who ambushed you this time were all brought by Wang Shi. None of my people were present here. This matter has nothing to do with me!"
"If you're truly angry, Mister, you can kill Wang Shi! I won't even bat an eye!"
"You old bastard, what are you saying?"
Seeing the crippled elder shift all the blame onto him, Wang Shi was beside himself with rage. He glared at the crippled elder and roared, "This entire plan was you secretly sending me messages to ambush him. You are the mastermind, and now you're throwing all the blame onto me?"
"Nonsense!" The crippled elder retorted angrily at Wang Shi, then smiled at Ye Ling, "Mister, as you saw earlier, Wang Shi and I are like fire and water. He wishes he could kill me, so how could he possibly obey my orders?"
"This was all Wang Shi's plan! I speak no lies!"
"You beast!"
Wang Shi's composure completely shattered under the crippled elder's constant accusations. His face contorted with rage!
His anger surged, and he pounced on the crippled elder, grabbing him by the neck and roaring, "You black-and-white-twisting old beast, I'll kill you right now!"
Veins bulged on Wang Shi's forehead, his hands tightening, preventing the crippled elder from breathing.
The crippled elder had not expected Wang Shi to charge at him directly. He had no time to resist, and now that Wang Shi had him by the neck, his meridians were blocked by Wang Shi's spiritual energy!
The crippled elder had no chance to even struggle in front of Wang Shi.
"Help, help..." The crippled elder struggled beneath Wang Shi, his face turning purple, his vision blurring!
He never imagined that after roaming the martial world, he would fall here!
Wang Shi, however, was already blinded by rage and fear, his sole focus now on strangling the crippled elder, disregarding everything else!
Ye Ling stood aside, content to watch the crippled elder and Wang Shi engage in mutual destruction.
For Ye Ling, his goal here was Bai Yu, the Guild Leader of the Black Coffin Society, to understand their purpose in attacking the Martial Marquis Sect, and to eradicate the Black Coffin Society.
As for the crippled elder and Wang Shi, they were both going to be dealt with anyway, so killing one of them now had no impact.
"Let, let go of me..."
The crippled elder struggled, kicking his legs wildly, but he had already expended a large amount of spiritual energy in his previous fight with Ye Ling. Moreover, Wang Shi had caught him off guard and sealed all his meridians. He could only wait for death now!
"Enough!"
Just as the crippled elder was about to suffocate, a cold shout came from afar. Immediately, the temperature in the entire workshop dropped by dozens of degrees, and frost began to form around the workshop!
Hearing the voice, Wang Shi jolted, instantly sobering up, and released the crippled elder!
Ye Ling looked in the direction of the voice and saw Bai Yu, his face ashen and his eyes extremely cold, walking in from another door of the workshop.
Bai Yu had initially believed that Wang Shi could easily handle Ye Ling and Zhang Xia, but he hadn't expected things to escalate to this point!
With the elites decimated, Wang Shi and the crippled elder fighting each other, he had no choice but to come out and clean up the mess...
In an instant, their Black Coffin Society's power had regressed by a level!
With the majority of the Black Coffin Society's elites slaughtered by Ye Ling this time, the entire organization had suffered a heavy blow. If Bai Yu didn't stop the bleeding in time, let alone their attack on the Martial Marquis Sect, whether they could even leave Pingyuan City safely was uncertain.
Bai Yu walked closer to Ye Ling, and with each step, frost formed on the floor beneath his feet.
The chilling air was biting!
The crippled elder quickly got up from the ground and ran towards Bai Yu with surprise, "Son-in-law, save me! Wang Shi wanted to kill me!"
Bai Yu was one of the few eighth-rank cultivators in China, with immense power!
With his appearance, the crippled elder believed that Bai Yu would definitely be able to capture Ye Ling!
Seeing the crippled elder turn to Bai Yu again, Wang Shi also felt a great sense of crisis. Fearing that Bai Yu would misunderstand him as having defected to Ye Ling, he also ran towards Bai Yu, quickly explaining, "Guild Leader, it was the crippled elder who betrayed the Black Coffin Society. I just..."
"I've heard enough!"
Bai Yu roared, and the crippled elder and Wang Shi immediately shut their mouths, freezing in place!
They felt Bai Yu's anger.
Bai Yu glared coldly at the crippled elder and Wang Shi, his expression so gloomy it was almost dripping with water, "Two useless fools who can't accomplish anything but ruin everything. I told you the matter of the Martial Marquis Sect was extremely crucial, yet you've caused me such great trouble!"
The crippled elder and Wang Shi felt fear in their hearts and immediately knelt before Bai Yu, saying anxiously, "Guild Leader, please quell your anger!"
"Retire!"
Bai Yu yelled at them to step back, then looked at Ye Ling and said, "From what I've seen of your methods, you are not from the Martial Marquis Sect or the Dragon Department."
"I believe the Black Coffin Society has not offended you, and I don't know what your purpose is in coming to our Black Coffin Society?"
Hearing Bai Yu's words, Ye Ling smiled and chuckled, "You indeed have not offended me."
"However..."
"What if I just want to kill you?"
Bai Yu's expression changed!
