In the room, the blood-red karma fire burned Long Ye's soul, and his consciousness gradually blurred.
The World-Ending Spirit Fire sensed the commotion in the room and immediately said to Ye Ling, "Not good! Long Ye is going to commit suicide!"
Ye Ling hadn't expected Long Ye to be so resolute. Just as he was about to intervene and stop him, two dark figures suddenly rushed in from outside the manor, directly smashing through the barrier Long Ye had set up and pinning him to the ground!
The karma fire burning Long Ye dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Ye Ling looked closely and saw that the ones holding Long Ye down were the two mechanical soldiers who had been guarding the gate earlier.
However, compared to before, the aura of these two mechanical soldiers had strengthened more than tenfold, their strength now comparable to the Supreme Realm!
Moroluo slowly walked into the courtyard, smiling as he looked at Long Ye, who was pinned to the ground by the mechanical soldiers. "Mr. Long, you are the protagonist of the birthday banquet. How can you seek death before even meeting your guests?"
With that, Moroluo snapped his fingers, and green light emanated from the hands of the two mechanical soldiers, beginning to heal.
The injuries Long Ye had sustained from the karma fire healed at an extremely rapid pace.
Long Ye struggled on the ground, glaring at Moroluo and shouting, "You scum, if you have the guts, kill me now!"
"Oh dear..." Moroluo feigned an injured expression. "Mr. Long, how can you treat us with such an attitude? Think about it, for ten thousand years, our Canxie clan has treated you as an honored guest. Have we ever mistreated you?"
"Bah! You're just a bunch of scum!" Long Ye spat at Moroluo, then began to burn his life essence, preparing to forcefully self-destruct.
However, before Long Ye's life essence could even be ignited, several sharp spikes shot out from the arms of the two mechanical soldiers, piercing directly into Long Ye's body and isolating his control over his own body.
In an instant, Long Ye became a vegetative state, with only his consciousness still active, unable to even speak.
Moroluo chuckled, "Mr. Long, it's best if you behave. No trouble should occur before your birthday banquet begins."
After speaking, Moroluo glanced at his watch again and instructed the two mechanical soldiers, "Time is almost up. Take him to the main building."
Buzz—!
At that moment, Ye Ling's domain expanded, and the Nameless Void instantly froze time in the entire courtyard!
Ye Ling flew out from between Moroluo's hairs, transforming back into human form and releasing Long Ye from the time stop.
Long Ye's eyes were filled with despair. When he saw Ye Ling appear, he thought he was hallucinating, and his despair deepened.
Ye Ling removed the spikes that had been inserted into Long Ye's body and moved the two mechanical soldiers away, restoring Long Ye's mobility.
Seeing that he could move again, and that Ye Ling truly existed, Long Ye's pupils contracted sharply, and a tempestuous wave surged in his heart!
He looked at Ye Ling with disbelief and exclaimed in shock, "Mas... Master? Is it really you? Are... are you still alive?"
Ye Ling said quickly, "Ye'er, the situation is urgent. Master doesn't have much time to talk with you. We'll catch up later. Now, I have something important to tell you!"
Although Long Ye still couldn't grasp the situation, he was excited. He said to Ye Ling, "Master, whatever you command, your disciple will complete the task even if it means death!"
Ye Ling said, "Although this matter is somewhat dangerous, I guarantee you will survive."
With that, Ye Ling used runes to copy Long Ye's reincarnation information and stored it in his own soul. Then, Ye Ling transmitted a string of information into Long Ye's mind, simultaneously carving a rune imprint into Long Ye's soul.
As he worked, Ye Ling explained, "I've transmitted the specific details into your mind. Quickly review them, and then follow the plan I've given you."
Long Ye quickly scanned the information Ye Ling had transmitted into his mind. Endless shock appeared in his eyes, and he looked at Ye Ling with disbelief, saying, "Master... you're going to make a move against the Lord of Canxie?"
"That's a Creation God!"
"Yes! I am going to make a move against him." Ye Ling nodded slightly and continued, "After you finish reading, completely erase my message. Also, act as if I was never here. Continue doing what you were supposed to do before, and don't show any abnormality."
"Go ahead and court death. Before the blood sacrifice, the Canxie clan will never let anything happen to you."
Long Ye said firmly, "Don't worry, Master. I will never ruin your plan!"
"Mhm."
Ye Ling nodded, then reinserted the spikes into Long Ye's body, allowing the mechanical soldiers to hold him down.
After restoring the scene, Ye Ling also adjusted the time on Moroluo's watch to match the outside world.
Seeing that Ye Ling still had the leisure to adjust Moroluo's watch, the World-Ending Spirit Fire couldn't help but comment, "Why are you adjusting that broken watch?"
Ye Ling replied, "Although my Nameless Void froze time within the Dragon's Abode, time outside continued to flow. Therefore, there would be a time discrepancy between the inside and outside of the Nameless Void."
The World-Ending Spirit Fire was indifferent. "So what if there's a discrepancy? You and Long Ye talked for less than a minute. Who would know you froze time here?"
Ye Ling shook his head and said seriously, "Moroluo is clearly a meticulous engineer. If an ordinary person found their watch showing a different time than the main building, they would likely assume their watch was faulty and not think much of it. But this Moroluo would never do that."
"When he had the mechanical soldiers take Long Ye away, he specifically checked the time. If he returns to the main building and finds that his watch time doesn't match the building's time, he will definitely become vigilant!"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire said, "I think you're being overly sensitive, kid. How could these Canxie beastmen be so meticulous?"
Ye Ling said, "It's always better to be cautious."
"Tch! Whatever you say! It's not my problem anyway," the World-Ending Spirit Fire still couldn't understand Ye Ling's actions and continued to grumble.
Ye Ling didn't argue with the World-Ending Spirit Fire. After adjusting Moroluo's watch time, he transformed into a flying insect again and hid in Moroluo's hairs, retracting the Nameless Void and allowing time to flow again.
As time resumed, Moroluo didn't notice Ye Ling's presence at all and flew towards the main building with Long Ye.
But when Moroluo reached the main building and saw the clock outside, the smile on his face instantly froze!
"Wait!"
Moroluo immediately stopped the mechanical soldiers carrying Long Ye behind him, then glanced at his watch and found that the time on his watch was the same as the main building's time.
Seeing Moroluo check his watch, the World-Ending Spirit Fire said to Ye Ling, "Fortunately, you're quick-witted and knew to change Moroluo's watch time. Otherwise, if Moroluo found out his time was different from the outside world, we would have been exposed!"
Ye Ling teased, "Who was it that thought adjusting the time was unnecessary just now?"
The World-Ending Spirit Fire's old face flushed, and he quickly retorted, "Who could have expected this beastman to care so much about time? This isn't this grandpa's fault!"
Ye Ling just smiled and shook his head, offering no comment on the World-Ending Spirit Fire's defense.
However, just as Ye Ling and the World-Ending Spirit Fire thought the matter was over, Moroluo muttered to himself, "The total time I spent with Long Ye was nineteen minutes. I set off at 9:31, so the main building's time should be 9:50 now. Why is it 9:51?"
"Could it be that I remembered the time incorrectly?" Moroluo mused, then shook his head fiercely. "No! I never misremember time. It must be that my watch and the main building's time are both one minute fast!"
Saying that, Moroluo immediately took out his tools from his spatial ring, disassembled his watch, and carefully examined it. He indeed found traces of his watch having been tampered with!
Moroluo's face changed drastically. He immediately looked back at the sealed Long Ye, fine beads of cold sweat appearing on his forehead. He trembled and said, "Just now... did someone stop the flow of time in the Dragon's Abode?"
Thinking of this, Moroluo felt endless fear surge within him.
This blood sacrifice ritual was extremely important to the Lord of Canxie, and absolutely no mistakes could occur during it!
But now, Moroluo discovered that his watch had been tampered with, which meant someone was hiding in the shadows, attempting to disrupt this ritual!
"No! I must inform Lord Tianye immediately, otherwise, if a mistake occurs, I will surely die!" The more Moroluo thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he immediately contacted Lord Tianye.
Seeing that Moroluo could detect abnormalities even in this situation, the World-Ending Spirit Fire also panicked a little and quickly said to Ye Ling, "Kid, this Moroluo is a pervert! What should we do now?"
Ye Ling hadn't expected Moroluo to be so sensitive to time. His brow furrowed tightly, and he said in a deep voice, "There's no other way... we have to execute plan B."
"Plan B?" The World-Ending Spirit Fire was stunned. "When did you have a plan B? How come I don't know?"
Ye Ling said quickly, "I just thought of it."
The World-Ending Spirit Fire asked, "Then what is your plan B?"
A fierce glint appeared in Ye Ling's eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Kill this Moroluo!"
