"Ye Ling..."
Zhou Wen clutched the wound on his arm, staring intently at Ye Ling, and said with a cold laugh, "It seems you're not so capable either, ending the fight so quickly."
"I thought you'd at least spar with Ji Ning for a few hours."
"Spar for a few hours?"
Upon hearing Zhou Wen's words, the World Destroying Spirit Fire was taken aback and immediately asked Ye Ling, "Kid, we're all fighting for our lives here. You weren't out having a good time, were you?"
"It's a long story. We'll talk about it after we deal with Zhou Wen," Ye Ling replied helplessly, then wrapped runes around Tian Xing to heal her injuries.
Seeing Ye Ling's attention shift to Tian Xing, Zhou Wen's eyes narrowed slightly. He quietly tore open the space behind him, preparing to escape.
However, before he could flee, the space he had torn open was frozen by ice, and an oppressive chill emanated from behind him.
Zhou Wen's expression changed slightly. He quickly turned around and saw Ji Ning, holding a long ice spear, standing behind him, blocking his path.
"Zhou Wen, I've witnessed Young Master Ye's stamina. I can't pretend I didn't hear you slandering my beloved," Ji Ning said with a light laugh, pointing her spear at Zhou Wen. As the chill surged towards Zhou Wen, his legs were instantly frozen!
"Young Master Ye..."
Tian Xing, in Ye Ling's arms, heard Ji Ning's address for Ye Ling and looked at him with a face full of melancholy, "You've been gone for so many days, and you've developed so quickly with Ji Ning?"
She had followed Ye Ling for a long time, always dedicated, yet their relationship had seen no substantial progress.
She hadn't expected that in just a few days, Ye Ling would have become intimate with Ji Ning.
"Young Master Ye, do you perhaps prefer older women? But I should be older than you too?" Tian Xing continued to speak with a hint of sorrow.
"Ahem... A lot has happened these days, and it's hard to explain in a moment," Ye Ling coughed lightly, truly unsure how to explain this to Tian Xing.
Although what happened with A Yun and Ji Ning was not entirely of his own volition, Tian Ming was ultimately a second personality derived from his soul, and his body had indeed done those things...
Ye Ling had no idea how to explain these facts!
Seeing Ye Ling's flustered appearance, Tian Xing covered her mouth and chuckled, saying weakly, "It's alright... Don't feel embarrassed. I know exactly what kind of person you are, otherwise, I wouldn't have been willing to follow you all this time."
"The dangers you've faced these days must be no less than ours, right?"
"Tian Xing..."
Ye Ling called out softly, his eyes softening as he looked into hers.
Then, Ye Ling converted his spiritual energy into creation power to help Tian Xing repair her shattered meridians.
"Rest well. After I deal with Zhou Wen, I'll properly tell you about everything that's happened these days."
With that said, Ye Ling handed Tian Xing over to the World Destroying Spirit Fire and instructed, "World Destroying Spirit Fire, take care of Tian Xing."
Seeing Ye Ling directly heal Tian Xing's completely shattered heart meridians, the World Destroying Spirit Fire's expression changed slightly. It looked at Ye Ling with disbelief and exclaimed, "Kid, how did you suddenly get so strong? Did you take medicine?"
"You could say I contracted a disease," Ye Ling said with a light smile, looking at Zhou Wen. "The invincible disease."
"The invincible disease..." Hearing Ye Ling's words, the World Destroying Spirit Fire's mouth twitched. "I think your habit of showing off is the real incurable disease!"
While the World Destroying Spirit Fire was complaining, Zhou Wen on the other side had fallen into endless panic.
One Ye Ling had already made him feel incredibly troublesome, but now Ji Ning's displayed power far exceeded his expectations!
Even without Ye Ling making a move, Ji Ning alone was enough to deal with him!
Now that Ye Ling and Ji Ning had him surrounded, all his escape routes were cut off!
Zhou Wen's thoughts raced, and he immediately knelt before Ye Ling, begging for mercy, "Brother Ye, I was wrong. Please spare my life, won't you?"
"This is your original inheritance. I'll return it to you!"
Zhou Wen quickly took out the World Destroying Spirit Fire's original inheritance and pushed it towards Ye Ling, then said, "Brother Ye, I'm a cripple now. You are magnanimous, please spare my life, how about it?"
"I will definitely not be a threat to you anymore!"
Ye Ling took the World Destroying Spirit Fire's original inheritance, scanned it with his divine soul, and then looked at the kneeling Zhou Wen, smiling, "Zhou Wen, I've long been tired of these little tricks of yours."
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Zhou Wen's pupils constricted slightly, and he quickly said, "Brother, Brother Ye... What are you talking about? I don't understand what you mean..."
"You don't understand?"
Ye Ling's lips curled into a smile. Then, the Devouring Domain condensed in his palm, and he began to absorb the power of the original inheritance in his hand.
Soon, Zhou Wen's consciousness, hidden within the original inheritance, was directly absorbed by Ye Ling and erased on the spot!
"Pfft!"
Zhou Wen's soul was heavily injured, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood, his entire aura plummeting.
After cleaning the original inheritance, Ye Ling returned it to the World Destroying Spirit Fire, then said to Zhou Wen, "Zhou Wen, since we've known each other, do you have any last words before you die?"
Realizing he was about to die, Zhou Wen's face showed fear, and he exclaimed in shock, "No, I can't die yet! My mission is not complete!"
"Brother Ye, please be merciful! I still haven't found someone! Let me complete my mission, and then kill me, how about it?" Zhou Wen began to kowtow to Ye Ling, his face filled with panic.
"Mission? Finding someone?" Ye Ling raised an eyebrow slightly. "What are you talking about?"
"Brother Ye, you don't know, I used to call myself the Heavenly Nether Evil Emperor, and then a supreme being found me, saying my title was the same as his and it ruined his reputation. So, I was severely tormented by that adult, and then I sealed myself in the Heavenly Nether Ancient Realm!"
"That adult took a portion of my soul and told me that I must find Tian Ming before I die. If I don't find it, my soul will suffer eternal torment!"
"So, Brother Ye! I beg you, let me find Tian Ming first. Once I find Tian Ming, you can do whatever you want with me!"
"Tian Ming?"
Hearing Zhou Wen's words, Ye Ling's eyes flickered.
Zhou Wen, however, didn't notice Ye Ling's expression. He continued to kowtow frantically to Ye Ling, almost crying, appearing genuinely afraid of not fulfilling that person's request!
Upon hearing Zhou Wen's words, the World Destroying Spirit Fire transmitted a message to Ye Ling, "Kid... that adult Zhou Wen mentioned, could it be E?"
"It should be..."
Ye Ling replied to the World Destroying Spirit Fire, frowned at Zhou Wen's fearful appearance, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know what Tian Ming is?"
He hadn't expected Zhou Wen to drop such explosive news on his deathbed!
"No, I don't know... I only know I have to find Tian Ming!" Zhou Wen quickly replied.
"Then what will you do after you find Tian Ming?" Ye Ling asked again.
"I, I don't know either," Zhou Wen cried. "I just need to find Tian Ming. Brother Ye... please spare my life. My cultivation is already crippled, and I'll never be a threat to you again!"
"I beg you!"
