"From Hongchen Pavilion?"
Seeing the extraordinary individuals in mechs in the sky, Ye Ling looked at Lu Yun and the woman in black with a half-smile.
He knew the woman in black had called for reinforcements. He hadn't stopped her then because he wanted to lure more Hongchen Pavilion experts over to annihilate them all at once.
However, he hadn't expected Hongchen Pavilion to send such a high-tech force!
Looking at the warships and mechs in the sky, Ye Ling felt as if he had stepped into a sci-fi movie.
"Well done, Emma!"
Lu Feng, seeing his elite troops arrive as reinforcements, excitedly praised the woman in black beside him. He met Ye Ling's gaze, his confidence bolstered.
He said to Ye Ling, "Ye Ling, I stand by my previous words. There's no need for us to fight. If you stop now, I can let bygones be bygones and spare your life!"
Although Hongchen Pavilion's reinforcements had arrived, he was still in Ye Ling's grasp. If a fight broke out, his best outcome would be to perish with Ye Ling.
As the saying goes, his relationship with Ye Feng wasn't that good; they even had some grievances. He was unwilling to sacrifice his life to help Ye Feng eliminate future troubles.
Even if he got injured, it wouldn't do.
Of course...
He had now made an enemy of Ye Ling. If he could return safely this time, while ensuring his own safety, he would also seek revenge on Ye Ling.
He was one of the Twelve Venerable Lords of Hongchen Pavilion, and he had countless ways to retaliate against Ye Ling.
Even if he couldn't harm Ye Ling directly, he didn't believe he couldn't harm Ye Ling's loved ones!
Ye Ling glanced at the Hongchen Pavilion army in the sky, then looked at Lu Feng with interest, saying, "Your technological advancement is too exaggerated. Interstellar warships, spatial jumps, ultimate individual soldiers... this level of technology, even across the galaxy, is that of a first-class civilization..."
"I'm truly curious, is this something achievable solely with resources from Hongchen Pavilion and the scientific geniuses you've gathered from around the world?"
Lu Yun, seeing Ye Ling not only unafraid but asking him such irrelevant questions upon seeing his army, became somewhat annoyed. He stared at Ye Ling with a grim expression, saying, "Ye Ling, we have no enmity. Must we really fight to the death?"
"Fight to the death?" Ye Ling chuckled. "You think too highly of your ragtag soldiers."
"Although they're wearing advanced mechs, the experts inside are only of the second or third grade, and many don't even have cultivation. This army might be able to crush any nation on Earth, but if they were to confront heavenly soldiers and generals, they'd likely shatter instantly."
"Ragtag... ragtag soldiers? Ye Ling, you!!!"
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Lu Yun's eyes instantly turned red. He felt immensely insulted!
Admittedly, while his army was exceptionally well-equipped, it couldn't contend with the armies of the immortal realm.
But looking at the entire world, which army could stand against the heavenly court's forces?
Even Hongchen Pavilion was merely a subordinate force of some powerful figure in the immortal realm. He had never intended to pit his troops against the immortal realm's armies!
"They can't defeat heavenly soldiers and generals, but they can defeat you, which is enough!" Lu Yun stared at Ye Ling with a grim expression. "I'll give you one last chance. Now! Immediately! Release me, or my army will crush you, and you will die without a burial place!"
Seeing Lu Yun still placing his hopes on his troops, Ye Ling shook his head and smiled, demonic energy beginning to swirl around him.
Ye Ling stood up, stretched, and said, "Very well, before I interrogate you, let me warm up."
As Ye Ling finished speaking, the demonic energy swirling around him erupted violently, soaring into the sky.
A demonic image thousands of meters tall materialized in the ice field!
Lu Yun stared blankly at the towering mountain-like figure, his body trembling violently, utterly shocked!
His meticulously built army seemed like a pile of ants before Ye Ling's demonic image.
That massive warship was like a toy!
Mo Qingfeng also gazed at the demonic image in the sky in terror, his eyes wide, stammering, "Fa Tian Xiang Di... this, this kind of divine ability..."
Ye Ling smiled faintly, making no move. The demonic image behind him reached out, grabbed Hongchen Pavilion's warship, and squeezed!
Boom!
The massive warship exploded, its blinding flames engulfing the entire ice field of the Sand Kingdom!
However, as the flames threatened to spread to human activity zones, a giant barrier appeared out of nowhere, containing them and preventing them from spreading further!
The Sand Kingdom's National Defense Command had no inkling of anything happening in this ice field!
The demonic image, holding the crushed warship, swung it in the air. The soldiers in mechs were routed, their armor scattered, and their formations broken!
Hongchen Pavilion's forces were instantly crushed by Ye Ling!
Lu Yun and Emma were completely stunned. Watching Hongchen Pavilion's army being so easily defeated, their hearts were filled with nothing but fear and shock.
In this world...
How could anyone be so strong?
The three captured by Ye Ling looked at him in terror, the same thought flashing through their minds.
This was simply too strong, unreasonably strong!
Even if a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals were here, they probably wouldn't be Ye Ling's match!
Soon, Hongchen Pavilion's army was wiped out, leaving only a few scattered experts escaping the battlefield, their spirits severely impacted, likely to suffer severe after-effects in the future.
The demonic image dissipated, and debris from warships and mechs rained down from the sky. Before they could hit the ground, they were completely incinerated by Ye Ling's demonic energy.
The ice field returned to silence.

Ye Ling clapped his hands and turned to the stunned Lu Yun and Emma, narrowing his eyes and smiling, "Alright... it's your turn."
Lu Yun looked at Ye Ling in utter terror, backing away, stammering, "You, you monster! Don't come any closer!"
An enemy like Ye Ling was simply not something humans could defeat!
Let alone him, perhaps even the entire Hongchen Pavilion was no match for Ye Ling!
The so-called Twelve Venerable Lords were a joke before Ye Ling!
Seeing Lu Yun's terrified expression, Ye Ling sighed and shook his head, "It seems it's no longer possible to question you normally."
"What, what are you going to do to me?" Lu Yun asked Ye Ling, trembling, "I am one of the Twelve Venerable Lords of Hongchen Pavilion, you can't touch me!"
"Hongchen Pavilion will not forgive you!"
"Are you already talking nonsense..." Seeing Lu Yun still threatening him with Hongchen Pavilion, Ye Ling sighed again.
Even now, Lu Yun hadn't grasped the situation.
If he hadn't mentioned Hongchen Pavilion, it might have been different. After all, he himself didn't have much enmity with Ye Ling. By feigning ignorance, he might have gotten away with it.
But Ye Ling harbored deep hatred for Hongchen Pavilion. This was no longer just Ye Feng's personal matter. The more Lu Yun invoked Hongchen Pavilion, the deeper he pushed himself into the abyss!
Dark demonic energy surged from Ye Ling's palm, flowing towards Lu Yun and Emma, invading their souls.
"Ahhhhhhh!"
Under Mo Qingfeng's terrified gaze, both Lu Yun and Emma let out pig-like screams.
Their piercing howls echoed across the ice field.
Mo Qingfeng looked at Ye Ling's profile and only then realized...
What they had encountered...
Was a demon!
