Chapter 1270 Setting the Bait

"Careful!"

Seeing the claws made of particles strike towards them, Ye Ling's expression changed drastically. He immediately pulled Nuo Ying to the side!

The giant claws formed by those special particles missed their target and hit the ground, but caused no damage.

Even so, Ye Ling could sense the extreme danger contained within those particles.

If they had been hit just now, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

"Ye Ling... what's going on?" Nuo Ying looked at the dispersing special particles in front of her, her forehead covered in sweat, her heart pounding.

Ye Ling shielded Nuo Ying behind him, staring intently at the special particles ahead, and said in a deep voice, "Looking at the situation now, I estimate that the overseers who went to hunt down the Primordial Soul King back then have met a grim fate."

He possessed some of the Primordial Wisdom King's power, and when facing the Primordial Soul King's special particles, he felt a fatal danger. Not to mention Nuo Ying, whose strength was inferior to the overseers.

It was likely that Nuo Ying would instantly perish upon contact with the Primordial Soul King's power!

Ye Ling stared intently at the special particles ahead, his entire being focused, not daring to be careless in the slightest.

Nuo Ying also knew that she was a burden to Ye Ling at this moment. She didn't say anything and quickly retreated to the back, giving Ye Ling enough space to fight.

However, after missing their attack, those special particles seemed to realize that Ye Ling was a tough opponent and immediately fled into the distance!

"Trying to escape?"

Seeing the Primordial Soul King's power attempting to flee, Ye Ling's eyes narrowed slightly. He immediately pursued those special particles. However, as soon as Ye Ling caught up, those special particles split off a small portion of their power, transforming into sharp spikes and shooting fiercely towards Nuo Ying behind Ye Ling!

"Damn it!"

Seeing that the Primordial Soul King was determined to take Nuo Ying's life, Ye Ling had no choice but to temporarily abandon capturing the Primordial Soul King. He instantly teleported in front of Nuo Ying, using his own power to destroy those spikes.

The Primordial Soul King's power took this opportunity to escape the Baiyun Military Base and disappear.

Although Ye Ling's confrontation with the Primordial Soul King lasted only a fleeting moment, Nuo Ying had been on the brink of death twice. When the Primordial Soul King disappeared, Nuo Ying was still somewhat weak and her heart was racing.

"I'm sorry, I held you back and let that Primordial Soul King escape..." Nuo Ying wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and apologized to Ye Ling.

"It's not your fault. None of us expected the Primordial Soul King to have been hiding so close to us all along," Ye Ling comforted her. He then looked at Ye Miaomiao, who was held still in the air by him, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

"In that case, our encountering Ye Miaomiao in that alley might have been the Primordial Soul King's deliberate act."

After all, Ye Ling currently possessed the Primordial Wisdom King's power. The Primordial Soul King, as one of the seven Primordial Kings, approaching Ye Ling and wanting to reclaim the Primordial Wisdom King's power was not difficult to understand.

"Are you saying that Ye Miaomiao approached us with a special purpose?" Nuo Ying asked.

"That's not necessarily true," Ye Ling shook his head. "Perhaps Ye Miaomiao herself doesn't know that she's possessed by the Primordial Soul King."

"Moreover, if Ye Miaomiao could truly control the Primordial Soul King's power, the overseer back then wouldn't have had the chance to kill her parents... I suspect Ye Miaomiao has some special trait that attracts the Primordial Soul King."

Nuo Ying asked again, "Now that the Primordial Soul King has escaped, what should we do?"

The Primordial Soul King's power consisted of those special particles. They had no energy fluctuations and were undetectable by sight or soul power. Once those powers hid in the shadows, it meant they were constantly exposed to danger!

This feeling of potentially losing one's life at any moment made Nuo Ying extremely uncomfortable.

Ye Ling said, "It's alright. The Primordial Soul King's target is me, and Ye Miaomiao is also in my hands. Even if he escaped, he will eventually come looking for us."

"I'll help you strengthen your pupil power. Until we resolve the Primordial Soul King, let's maintain this state."

"Okay..."

Nuo Ying nodded, not refusing.

In the current situation, only by transforming everything in the world into microscopic particles could they track the Primordial Soul King's location.

Although this would affect daily life and even make it difficult to see ordinary enemies, it was better than losing their lives.

After Ye Ling reinforced Nuo Ying's eyes with runes, he then withdrew the river of time, allowing time to flow normally again in the Baiyun Military Base.

Ye Miaomiao continued to destroy the entire military base by herself as if nothing had happened. Ye Ling, however, took Nuo Ying outside the military base, keeping a vigilant watch on their surroundings, preventing the Primordial Soul King from returning.

With the support of Ye Ling's power, Ye Miaomiao was like an invincible war god, easily leveling the entire military base by herself.

"Uncle! Sister! I really did it!"

After leveling the Baiyun Military Base, a thrilled Ye Miaomiao landed in front of Ye Ling and Nuo Ying, excitedly saying, "This power is so strong! I feel like an omnipotent god!"

"This military base has done many evil deeds. The surrounding residents have suffered greatly. By leveling them today, I have avenged Baiyun Town and the nearby residents!"

"It's a pity that this power isn't mine. I'm really reluctant to part with it..." Ye Miaomiao sighed, but she didn't linger on the powerful strength within her body for too long, returning it all to Ye Ling.

Ye Ling took back his power and looked at Ye Miaomiao's excited expression, smiling lightly, "If you work hard to cultivate in the future, you can also reach the realm you are in today."

"Really?" Ye Miaomiao's eyes lit up instantly.

"Really," Ye Ling squinted and smiled. "Then do you have the courage to return to that abandoned manor for the trial now?"

"Go back to that manor?"

Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, Ye Miaomiao trembled again.

She really didn't want to recall that eerie and terrifying environment...

However, after experiencing the omnipotent power of a god, Ye Miaomiao's pursuit of power had gradually surpassed her fear.

Without much hesitation, she nodded to Ye Ling, "Yes! Uncle! I accept the trial!"

"Alright, I'll teleport you there now!"

Ye Ling smiled lightly and, without waiting for Ye Miaomiao's reply, directly teleported her back to the manor. At the same time, he used his creation power to recreate a batch of ghosts.

Seeing Ye Ling do this, Nuo Ying couldn't help but ask, "Why are you doing this? Do you really want to scare that little girl?"

"Of course not..." Ye Ling shook his head. "Although this might be a bit unfair to Ye Miaomiao, I think this is the only way to lure out the Primordial Soul King."

"Let's go back too. It's time to wait for the rabbit..."

As Ye Ling spoke, he transformed into a gentle breeze and drifted towards the abandoned manor.
