Hearing the shocked voice of the World-Ending Spirit Fire, Ye Ling smiled knowingly and said, "If our substitute uses the soul fragments of the Residual Evil Lord as energy and sends it to the Residual Evil Tribe's stronghold to self-detonate, what do you think that scene would be like?"
"Using the soul fragments of the Residual Evil Lord to blow up the Residual Evil Tribe's ancestral land..."
The World-Ending Spirit Fire murmured, deeply shaken!
He could imagine what kind of scene that would be just by thinking about it!
Even if destroying a Residual Evil Tribe's ancestral land was no big deal to the Residual Evil Lord, the extreme insult would be enough to make the Residual Evil Lord explode with rage!
This was something no one had dared to think of in billions of years, yet Ye Ling not only dared to think of it but also dared to act on it!
Thinking of this, the World-Ending Spirit Fire became even more excited, and he smiled at Ye Ling, "You brat, you truly dare to do anything. Fine... I'll go crazy with you this time! I want to see how far you madman can go!"
"We'll see!"
Ye Ling smiled slightly, made a very inconspicuous mark on the teleportation array in the room, and then used runes to conceal his figure, leaving the place.
At this moment, none of the Residual Evil tribesmen realized that a plan targeting their Residual Evil Lord was gradually taking shape in the core of their base!
After Ye Ling left the top floor, he wandered through the building, looking for the most seemingly easy-to-bully Residual Evil tribesman to target.
After all, the most crucial part of Ye Ling's plan was Long Ye, and Ye Ling did not yet know Long Ye's exact location.
The World-Ending Spirit Fire saw Ye Ling constantly wandering through the building and urged, "Brat, you better hurry up. Long Ye's birthday banquet is coming soon. If you want to make a move then, it will be too late!"
Ye Ling said in a deep voice, "Sharpening the axe does not delay the chopping of wood. The Residual Evil tribesmen in this building are either Chaos Overlords or Great Dao Immortal Lords. If you want me to search their souls, you're just tired of living."
The World-Ending Spirit Fire pouted, "I naturally know that, but if you keep dawdling, let alone dealing with the Residual Evil Lord, you should be thankful if you don't get caught by him."
"Shh!"
Ye Ling suddenly stopped the World-Ending Spirit Fire, condensed his aura to the extreme, and even held his breath.
The World-Ending Spirit Fire was stunned. Following Ye Ling's gaze, he saw a beast-like Residual Evil tribesman in front of him fiddling with mechanical soldiers.
Ye Ling whispered, "The stronger the Residual Evil tribesman, the closer they are to human form. This guy still looks like a beast, and his aura doesn't seem strong. He's the one!"
Ye Ling made up his mind, his eyes immediately showing killing intent, with black flames swirling in his palm!
Just as Ye Ling was about to pounce on the beastman, the burly man who had been talking to the snow-white man suddenly appeared in front of the beastman!
"Holy crap!"
Seeing the burly man appear, Ye Ling was startled and stopped abruptly, immediately suppressing his killing intent to the utmost.
The beastman, seeing the burly man appear, quickly put down what he was doing and respectfully saluted the burly man, "This humble one, Mo Luoluo, pays respects to Celestial Lord Tianye."
"Wait!"
Celestial Lord Tianye stopped Mo Luoluo and then looked in Ye Ling's direction, his brows furrowing slightly, and said in a deep voice, "I just sensed killing intent!"
"Kill... killing intent?" Mo Luoluo became even more terrified, breaking out in a cold sweat!
The World-Ending Spirit Fire exclaimed, "Holy crap! That guy found you! Brat, escape quickly!"
"Don't rush!"
Ye Ling continued to conceal his aura with runes, his mind racing to find a way to get away with it.
Celestial Lord Tianye condensed his aura to the extreme, a giant axe materialized in his hand, and he walked towards Ye Ling step by step.
Seeing Celestial Lord Tianye getting closer and closer, the World-Ending Spirit Fire's heart was in his throat, and he shouted at Ye Ling, "Brat! Think of a way!"
Ye Ling did not answer. He was now in a state of extreme calm, his mind racing, and his eyes scanning back and forth, looking for a solution.
Soon, Ye Ling noticed Mo Luoluo's unusual fear and realized that Mo Luoluo's eyes were constantly glancing in his direction.
"That look... could it be..."
A flash of inspiration struck Ye Ling. He immediately followed Mo Luoluo's gaze and saw that Mo Luoluo was staring at a mechanical soldier in front of him.
"He's looking at this mechanical soldier?"
Realizing this, Ye Ling immediately infiltrated the mechanical soldier's interior with his divine soul and discovered that more than half of its internal parts were missing, and the energy device that served as its drive core had cracked!
Seeing this, Ye Ling's mind was instantly filled with an idea. He immediately carved a rune onto the mechanical soldier's energy core, triggering an energy surge!
Hum—!
A strange sound emanated from within the mechanical soldier, and then the mechanical soldier's eyes turned red, drawing its weapon and attacking Celestial Lord Tianye!
"Hmph!" Seeing the mechanical soldier attack him, Celestial Lord Tianye's eyes flashed with a hint of gloom, and he let out a cold snort!
The mechanical soldier, forged from super-alloy and capable of withstanding supreme attacks, instantly turned into a pile of scrap metal!
Seeing this, Mo Luoluo immediately knelt before Celestial Lord Tianye and kowtowed repeatedly, "Celestial Lord Tianye, spare my life!"
Celestial Lord Tianye looked at Mo Luoluo with cold eyes and asked in a deep voice, "What is going on?"
Mo Luoluo replied fearfully, "That mechanical soldier is a defective product. It is my incompetence that I have not been able to repair it."
Celestial Lord Tianye asked coldly, "Does this defective product often go berserk?"
Mo Luoluo replied, "Y-yes... Because its energy core is broken, it affects its intelligence, so it goes berserk whenever it is stimulated. I'm afraid it was your aura just now that caused it to go berserk..."
"The energy core is broken?" A hint of suspicion flashed in Celestial Lord Tianye's eyes. He grabbed the scrapped mechanical soldier with his large hand and tore it apart.
Seeing the cracked energy device inside the mechanical soldier, Celestial Lord Tianye's suspicion dissipated. He directly shattered the entire mechanical soldier into dust and said to Mo Luoluo, "Next time you have such a defective product, it must be destroyed immediately. If I see it, and if Young Master Bai finds out that you dared to put such a defective product in the Lord's blood sacrifice ritual, you know the consequences."
Mo Luoluo trembled and quickly kowtowed to Celestial Lord Tianye, "This humble one remembers! Thank you, Celestial Lord Tianye, for sparing my life!"
Celestial Lord Tianye waved his hand and said, "Never mind that. I'm here for something. I have something for you to do."
Mo Luoluo replied fearfully, "Celestial Lord Tianye, please instruct me!"
Celestial Lord Tianye said, "Go to the Dragon's Abode and bring Long Ye here."
Mo Luoluo exclaimed, "You want me to bring Long Ye here? But isn't he the core figure of this blood sacrifice?"
Celestial Lord Tianye said, "Young Master Bai wants me to capture someone, so I have to leave the building for a while. Bring Long Ye here as soon as possible, and don't ask any more questions."
"Yes! This humble one will go now!"
Mo Luoluo did not dare to inquire further and quickly accepted the mission.
After giving the instructions, Celestial Lord Tianye did not linger and turned into a beam of light, escaping the building.
Mo Luoluo kowtowed again, "Farewell, Celestial Lord Tianye!"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire, hidden in the dark, let out a sigh of relief after Celestial Lord Tianye left, saying with lingering fear, "Fortunately, that beastman left a defective mechanical soldier for you. Otherwise, I wouldn't know what to do."
Ye Ling said, "Since Celestial Lord Tianye wants Mo Luoluo to bring Long Ye here, we don't need to alert them. Let's just follow that guy, and we should be able to find Long Ye easily."
The World-Ending Spirit Fire nodded, "That beastman is gone, let's hurry and follow him!"
"En!"
Ye Ling replied, then immediately transformed into a flying insect and landed on Mo Luoluo's shoulder, hiding in Mo Luoluo's fur.
Mo Luoluo did not notice Ye Ling clinging to him. After receiving Celestial Lord Tianye's orders, he hurried out of the building and flew towards the northwest outskirts of the City of Heaven.
Soon, Mo Luoluo landed outside a manor, and two mechanical soldiers immediately blocked his path, saying, "Forbidden area ahead. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter. Please leave quickly."
Mo Luoluo skillfully took out a card and had the two mechanical soldiers scan it.
"Respected Mr. Mo Luoluo, your authorization level is S, and you are permitted to enter the Dragon's Abode."
After scanning Mo Luoluo's card, the two mechanical soldiers returned to their positions, clearing the way.
The World-Ending Spirit Fire teased, "I didn't expect this unremarkable beastman to have S-level authorization. I underestimated him."
Ye Ling said, "I suddenly have a bad feeling. This Mo Luoluo might not be as simple as we think. We need to pay a little attention to him."
The World-Ending Spirit Fire, however, was unconcerned, "What is there to pay attention to in a beastman who hasn't even reached the Supreme cultivation? No matter how noble his status, wouldn't a single slap from you be enough?"
"We can't think like that. This plan is so dangerous, we can't afford to capsize in a gutter!"
With that, Ye Ling quietly planted his rune on Mo Luoluo, slowly penetrating his body.
At the same time, Mo Luoluo quickly walked into the depths of the Dragon's Abode and arrived in a courtyard.
A peach tree was planted in this courtyard, with a stone table and four stone stools beneath it. A game of Go was placed on the stone table.
A young man in an ancient cyan robe sat under the peach tree, holding a chess piece, but he hesitated to make a move.
Seeing the young man, Ye Ling sighed, "This kid Long Ye, after so many years, is still playing that game?"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire asked curiously, "What game?"
Ye Ling explained, "When I left the Eastern Profound Continent, Long Ye asked me when I would return. So I set up a endgame for him with only one solution, and said that when he solved the chess game, I would return to see him."
The World-Ending Spirit Fire pouted, "It seems your disciple isn't very smart either. It's just a game of chess, and tens of thousands of years have passed, and he still hasn't finished it."
Ye Ling said, "No... he doesn't want to finish it."
"Doesn't want to finish it?" The World-Ending Spirit Fire was stunned. "Could it be that he actually doesn't want you to return?"
Ye Ling said faintly, "He's afraid of me returning."
"Afraid of you returning?" The World-Ending Spirit Fire was even more confused.
However, before Ye Ling could explain, Mo Luoluo stepped forward and flattered Long Ye, "Mr. Long, I've been watching you ponder this game for ten thousand years. Is it really that difficult?"
Long Ye said indifferently, "It's not the chess that's difficult..."
Mo Luoluo quickly answered with a smile, "It's the heart. I've heard Mr. Long say that countless times."
Long Ye looked up at Mo Luoluo and asked, "Is it time?"
"En."
Mo Luoluo informed him, "Celestial Lord Tianye asks you to come over."
"Alright," Long Ye replied indifferently. "Wait outside for a moment while I bathe and change."
"Please be quick, Mr. Long. Time is short."
Mo Luoluo bowed to Long Ye and then retreated to the courtyard.
After watching Mo Luoluo leave, Long Ye sighed slightly, then looked at the chess board that had not moved for ten thousand years and sighed, "Master... in the end, I still don't dare to make that move, to see you one last time..."
Long Ye placed the chess piece into the chess basket and walked into the house, activating the formation he had already set up inside.
"The Demonic Palace was destroyed because of me, and I have no face to see you. I will burn myself and extinguish my soul... to do one last thing for Master."
Hiss!
As Long Ye finished speaking, the formation on the ground ignited with karmic fire, and Long Ye's entire body was engulfed in flames!
Long Ye... was committing suicide!
