Ye Ling saw the black oil from Kui Ling spreading towards him and did not dare to touch it, quickly retreating.
Although Ye Ling could currently reconstruct himself into anything, he did not yet understand the composition of Kui Ling's power and could not hide himself within it.
If Kui Ling could sense space through that black oil, he would be instantly exposed.
"No risks!"
Ye Ling quietly retreated behind Mr. Bai and Mei Hu, whose area had not yet been contaminated by Kui Ling's power.
Mei Hu looked at the overwhelming wave of oil, her expression extremely grim. She exclaimed, "Kui Ling has become stronger again… I didn't expect his soul touch could even control data bugs…"
Mr. Bai's gaze remained calm, and he said lightly, "This is good. Kui Ling alone can take down the Primal Wisdom King."
Mei Hu looked at Mr. Bai and said, "Bai Dao has fallen, Tian Ji has been kicked out, and Tian Yun is severely injured. By rights, the Seven Pillars should be led by you. Are you content to let Kui Ling steal the spotlight?"
Although Mei Hu had leverage over Kui Ling, she seemed very dissatisfied with him and was secretly instigating Mr. Bai to oppose Kui Ling.
"Who leads the Seven Pillars is irrelevant to me; I only need to do my own job," Mr. Bai was completely unfazed by Mei Hu's words. "The 'Brain' sent us here to eliminate the Primal Wisdom King who crossed the line. It doesn't matter who does it, as long as the mission is completed."
"But they are about to return. Now that Tian Ji is gone from the Seven Pillars, you have the best chance to join them. Are you truly content to let Kui Ling take your place?" Mei Hu seemed unwilling to give up and continued to instigate Mr. Bai, wanting to use him to kill Kui Ling.
"It's just a false reputation; I don't need it," Mr. Bai replied indifferently, his tone unwavering.
"You and I both know that joining them is far more than just a false reputation." Mei Hu gave Mr. Bai a deep look, but she also knew she couldn't use Mr. Bai to kill someone. She turned her attention back to Kui Ling.
Silence fell between them.
However, what Mei Hu didn't know was that not far behind her, a wanted criminal specifically named by the 'Brain' was hiding, and that criminal had overheard their entire conversation.
"They? Who is Mei Hu talking about? Beings above the Seven Pillars?"
Ye Ling gained a lot of information from the conversation between Mr. Bai and Mei Hu, especially the word "they," which greatly piqued his interest.
Ye Ling had interacted with the Overseer organization multiple times and knew that there was a "Brain" above the Seven Pillars. Now, with the appearance of "they," it was hard for Ye Ling not to speculate whether "they" were beings above the "Brain," or existed between the "Seven Pillars" and the "Brain."
However, regardless of who "they" were, Ye Ling now knew that within the Overseers, the Seven Pillars were definitely not their top combatants.
"The Primal Seven Kings are already top-tier existences in the Primal Chaos. The Seven Pillars are the powerhouses who defeated and sealed the Primal Seven Kings. Now, there are existences stronger than the Seven Pillars in the Overseer faction, and not just one… Where did these Overseers come from?"
Ye Ling's thoughts raced, and he gained a deeper understanding of the Overseer organization.
However, Ye Ling also learned from Mei Hu that "they" had not yet returned, which meant that the beings above the Seven Pillars were likely not in the Primal Chaos. Those individuals were not something Ye Ling needed to worry about at the moment.
"Once I absorb the power of the Seven Kings and evolve into a higher existence, 'they' should be no match for me. For now, it's better to focus on dealing with the Seven Pillars and the Primal Wisdom King."
Ye Ling thought to himself, his gaze falling back on Kui Ling, his mind racing to find an opportunity to act.
Currently, the Primal Wisdom King was his best nourishment, and he could not stand by and watch Kui Ling finish him off.
However, reality told Ye Ling that his worries were unnecessary.
After Kui Ling's oily substance covered the entire scrambled code of the space, Kui Ling's scream suddenly erupted from within the giant face. Subsequently, the data bugs encased in the oil came back to life, breaking through Kui Ling's blockade one by one, and the entire space turned blood red again!
"Wh-what's going on?"
Mei Hu heard Kui Ling's scream, and a hint of panic flashed in her eyes. She immediately looked at Mr. Bai.
Although she desperately wanted Kui Ling dead, the unexpected turn of events made her feel a little fearful.
"It's Tian Ji's aura…" Mr. Bai's eyes narrowed slightly. "He hid deep within the Primal Wisdom King's consciousness and ambushed Kui Ling."
"Tian Ji ambushed Kui Ling?" Mei Hu's eyes changed slightly. "Why? He was only temporarily kicked out of the Seven Pillars. Once the 'Brain' knows he attacked the Seven Pillars, he'll never be able to return to the Seven Pillars!"
"I'm only speculating that Tian Ji made a move; there's no evidence yet." Mr. Bai's eyes flickered. "What is known is that Kui Ling was dueling the Primal Wisdom King, and then Kui Ling was hit."
Hearing Mr. Bai's words, Mei Hu immediately understood: "You mean…"
"It's dangerous here. Let's retreat and regroup with the other Seven Pillars. The Primal Wisdom King's power is beyond our imagination!" Mr. Bai said quickly and then retreated from this virtual space without hesitation.
Seeing this, Mei Hu swept her beautiful eyes over the pained giant face, and a subtle curve appeared on her lips.
She had no intention of saving Kui Ling and retreated with Mr. Bai.
In this virtual space, only Kui Ling's pained screams remained.
Ye Ling witnessed the actions of Mr. Bai and Mei Hu completely and couldn't help but sigh, "These Seven Pillars are truly ruthless. Their schemes of using others to kill are even better than mine. They have no regard for camaraderie…"
Ye Ling had originally planned to subtly provoke Kui Ling and Mr. Bai, but from the current situation, the Seven Pillars were already riddled with holes. Without Ye Ling even lifting a finger, Kui Ling was killed by the combined efforts of Mr. Bai and Mei Hu…
In fact, under the current circumstances, even if one of them, Mr. Bai or Mei Hu, had made a move to save him, Kui Ling could have escaped Tian Ji's control and survived.
But Mr. Bai and Mei Hu abandoned Kui Ling like this, which led to Kui Ling falling into a desperate situation.
"Tsk tsk tsk… Kui Ling, Kui Ling, you have such poor interpersonal relationships, I almost pity you…"
Ye Ling looked at the pained giant face, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes, but runes and special characters appeared around him.
He had no intention of standing by and watching him die.
The death of just one Kui Ling would not benefit him in any way.
Mr. Bai and Mei Hu abandoning Kui Ling was beyond his expectations, but it also gave him an opportunity to completely divide the Seven Pillars.
Kui Ling had a violent temper and a simple mind. As long as Ye Ling rescued Kui Ling, without any prompting, Kui Ling would go find trouble with Mr. Bai and Mei Hu.
"Let you all fight amongst yourselves…"
Ye Ling chuckled, and runes were placed on the pained giant face, forcefully pulling Kui Ling's consciousness out of it!
