The Primordial Underworld King, hearing Mr. Bai’s words, was taken aback and asked, “Who exactly are you talking to?”
Mr. Bai did not respond to the Primordial Underworld King, merely looking at him calmly as if waiting for someone’s arrival.
Sensing Mr. Bai’s gaze, Ye Ling knew that hiding any longer would be self-deception. He abandoned his disguise and emerged from within the Primordial Underworld King’s body.
“It seems my disguise was pointless…” Ye Ling met Mr. Bai’s eyes directly, smiling with a rather relaxed tone.
After all, he had left a rune imprint with Nuo Ying, and if the situation turned unfavorable, he could escape at any moment.
Seeing a living person suddenly emerge from his body, the Primordial Underworld King was completely stunned. He exclaimed at Ye Ling, “Who are you, kid? Why were you inside my body?”
Ye Ling smiled at the Primordial Underworld King and said, “Didn’t Mr. Bai just say it?”
“You want to usurp my true form?” The Primordial Underworld King instantly felt immense insult. “Are you kidding me?”
Mr. Bai also appraised Ye Ling at this moment, a hint of playfulness flashing in his eyes. He smiled and said, “I recognize you. I didn’t expect you to still be alive.”
“What? Am I that famous now?” Ye Ling raised an eyebrow and smiled.
Mr. Bai replied, “You were classified as a world-ending threat. The demise of A Liu, Jiu Yuan, and the Primordial Flame King are all directly or indirectly related to you. Your renowned name has long spread throughout our organization.”
“If the news of your survival gets out, I’m afraid our entire organization will be thrown into an uproar. Tian Ji and Bai Dao, who were responsible for handling you, should also be held accountable.”
Ye Ling asked, “So, are you planning to report the news of my survival immediately?”
Mr. Bai stated, “If I wanted to, I wouldn’t have set up a barrier in this sealed land.”
Ye Ling nodded, “That’s true.”
The Primordial Underworld King, seeing Ye Ling and Mr. Bai ignore him and start conversing on their own, felt an endless rage ignite in his chest.
“You two… don’t be too arrogant! Do you think I don’t exist!”
The Primordial Underworld King roared, and the death qi swirling around him instantly transformed into two venomous snakes, lunging at Ye Ling and Mr. Bai respectively!
Ye Ling snapped his fingers, and the death qi snake lunging at him was instantly incinerated into ashes by the Bai Di Yan.
As for Mr. Bai, he caught the incoming snake with his hand. His palm then rapidly atomized, absorbing the death qi-condensed snake completely.
“You two…”
Seeing Ye Ling and Mr. Bai so easily neutralize his death qi, the Primordial Underworld King’s face turned red with anger, regretting only that his true form was still sealed.
Ye Ling, observing Mr. Bai’s methods, narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, “Are you a pure energy body?”
“Something like that,” Mr. Bai replied indifferently, then continued, “Ye Ling, how about we make a deal?”
“What kind of deal?” Ye Ling inquired.
Mr. Bai proposed, “I can pretend I didn’t discover you and let you enter the Primordial Underworld King’s seal. But the condition is that you must help me deal with someone.”
“Who?”
“He’ll be here soon.”
As soon as Mr. Bai finished speaking, ripples appeared on the barrier he had constructed.
The next moment, Bai Dao, wearing a mask, walked in.
“Bai, if you’re going to seal the Primordial Underworld King, do it properly. Why did you even need to construct a special barrier? Could it be you have something shameful you’re hiding…”
Mid-sentence, Bai Dao saw Ye Ling standing before the Primordial Underworld King. His pupils contracted sharply, and he exclaimed, “Ye Ling? You’re actually alive!”
Mr. Bai mocked Bai Dao, “Just now, someone was mocking me for letting go of Shan E and leaving behind a disaster. But I see that someone isn’t much better off themselves…”
Hearing Mr. Bai’s taunt, Bai Dao’s expression turned so grim it was as if water was about to drip from it. He asked Ye Ling sternly, “How did you survive?”
Seeing Bai Dao’s gaze filled with killing intent, Ye Ling shrugged and spread his hands, saying, “Perhaps you and Tian Ji were just too useless…”
“How dare you!”
Bai Dao spat out the two cold words through gritted teeth, his eyes turning red as crimson mist began to swirl around him.
“Ye Ling, you were lucky to survive last time… but instead of hiding and living in obscurity, you dare to come here looking for death!”
“I guarantee, this time you will truly die!”
“Bai, you are not allowed to interfere this time. Ye Ling is my prey!”
Mr. Bai chuckled, “Don’t worry, I have no interest in cleaning up your mess.”
“Hmph!”
Bai Dao snorted coldly, then transformed into a crimson lightning bolt and shot towards Ye Ling!
Wherever Bai Dao passed, countless blood-red lotuses bloomed, each seeming to contain terrifying power!
Ye Ling was not yet aware of Bai Dao’s abilities. As Bai Dao attacked, he chose not to confront him directly and immediately ascended into the air, evading Bai Dao’s charge.
Bai Dao directly collided with Mr. Bai’s barrier, yet he passed straight through it and emerged from the other side.
Mr. Bai retreated to the edge of the barrier and said with a smile, “Outside the sealed area is our headquarters. If you make too much noise, it will have a bad impact. So, I’ve slightly modified the spatial attributes of the barrier. Feel free to fight however you like, without worrying about affecting the outside.”
“Hmph! Meddling busybody!”
Bai Dao shot a cold glance at Mr. Bai, then refocused his attention on Ye Ling in mid-air. He condensed a blood lotus between his palms and then tossed it into the air.
The next moment, the blood lotus rapidly split, soon filling the entire barrier.
The Primordial Underworld King accidentally brushed against a blood lotus, which then exploded, reducing the Primordial Underworld King to ashes!
“It seems these blood lotuses are all bombs, best not to touch them!”
Ye Ling glanced at the Primordial Underworld King below, who had been blown to ashes, and sighed. He then activated his Devouring Domain, clearing the blood lotuses around him.
“Damn it, you guys fight, but don’t come at me!”
The Primordial Underworld King reformed his body and roared at Bai Dao, clearly displeased.
However, Bai Dao ignored the Primordial Underworld King and stared intently at Ye Ling, his brow furrowed.
“Ye Ling, you’ve grown stronger…”
Ye Ling smiled, “After surviving a great calamity, one is bound to have good fortune… After surviving your hands, I also had some fortuitous encounters and was fortunate enough to break through.”
“Very good…”
Bai Dao took a deep breath. “It’s been a long time since I’ve gone all out. Today, I’ll use you to limber up my muscles…”
“Ye Ling, you’d better hold on, don’t die too quickly!”
As Bai Dao finished speaking, he himself dissolved into lotus petals.
The next moment, the blood lotus closest to Ye Ling directly transformed into Bai Dao, wielding a blood-red saber, and fiercely slashed at Ye Ling!
