"Uninteresting."
The long-haired man yawned, looking at Long Yu, who had been dragged into the illusion. He flew in front of Long Yu with his scythe.
"Although I don't know how you got here, since you've come to offer yourself up, I'll reluctantly take your life."
The long-haired man chuckled, raising his scythe and slashing mercilessly at Long Yu!
Clang!!!
An ear-piercing metallic clang echoed as the long-haired man's scythe was sent flying!
"What?"
The long-haired man stared in shock at Ye Ling, who had appeared before Long Yu. The hand holding the scythe was trembling uncontrollably.
With just a single finger, Ye Ling had sent his life-bound divine weapon flying!
What kind of power was this?
"Xiao Yu, help take care of that foolish dragon!"
Ye Ling pushed the illusion-stricken Long Yu towards Xiao Yu, then smiled at the long-haired man. "We meet again."
The long-haired man's expression turned grim upon seeing Ye Ling. He asked Ye Ling in a deep voice, "The Dead Silence Sea God only detected the Ancestral Dragon entering here. How did you get here?"
"Yes... how did I get here?"
Ye Ling feigned contemplation, then replied, "Perhaps it's because I'm too strong and you're too weak?"
"Hmph, stop being so arrogant! You must have relied on the Awakened Spirit Jellyfish to come here. I have no reason to fear you! Dead Silence Sea God!"
The long-haired man was successfully provoked by Ye Ling. He immediately summoned the Dead Silence Sea God to attack Ye Ling and drag him into an illusion.
However, the Dead Silence Sea God remained inactive.
"Dead Silence Sea God?"
The long-haired man looked at the Dead Silence Sea God in confusion, not understanding why it wasn't obeying his command.
"Don't waste your effort. It can't control me."
Ye Ling instantly appeared before the long-haired man and grabbed him by the neck, lifting him off the ground.
"You... you damned!"
With his neck in Ye Ling's grasp, the long-haired man's face grew even more unsightly. His eyes began to glow red, and his body twisted rapidly!
"Do you think I'll let you escape twice?"
Ye Ling sneered as a large amount of dark energy surged into the long-haired man's body, corrupting his meridians and soul, rendering him unable to use any power.
The long-haired man's contorted body returned to normal.
At this moment, the Dead Silence Sea God also broke free from the long-haired man's control and regained its senses.
The Dead Silence Sea God, having regained its consciousness, glanced at the situation on the island. After quickly processing the surrounding information, it bowed deeply to Ye Ling and transformed into seawater, flowing back into the Dead Silence Sea.
The dense fog on the sea surface dissipated, and Long Yu, who had been trapped in the illusion, regained consciousness.
Seeing that Ye Ling had easily broken all his means, fear began to well up in the long-haired man's eyes. He pleaded with Ye Ling, "Sin... it was all a misunderstanding. We have no enmity. Please spare my life, won't you?"
"You're calling it a misunderstanding now?"
Ye Ling released the long-haired man and restrained him with his Origin Force. "Answer a few of my questions, and I'll see if I'm in the mood to spare your life."
"No, no problem! I'll tell you anything you want to know!"
"Name."
"Scythe Beast."
"Occupation."
"A bounty hunter from the Void's Dark Side."
"What are you doing here?"
"I took a mission from another world to stop the ranking competition and collect Void Seals."
As Scythe Beast had said, he answered whatever Ye Ling asked without hesitation, as if he had no secrets at all.
Ye Ling's Origin Force had been controlling Scythe Beast's soul all along, confirming that Scythe Beast had not lied so far.
From Scythe Beast, Ye Ling gained several interesting pieces of information.
Setting aside the profession of bounty hunter, the fact that another world wanted to stop the Void's ranking competition and the mention of Void Seals were extremely important to Ye Ling.
Previously, Ye Ling had thought that forces from the Void's Dark Side wanted to manipulate the Void's ranking competition, using this battle royale format to weaken the Void's strength.
But from the current situation, it seemed that the Void's Dark Side did not want this ranking competition to proceed. This led to two conclusions.
First, this ranking competition was not influenced by forces from the Void's Dark Side.
Second, the successful progression of the ranking competition would harm the interests of the Void's Dark Side.
Ye Ling integrated the current information in his mind and then looked at Scythe Beast. "You said you are a bounty hunter. How many people like you from the Void's Dark Side have entered this ranking competition?"
Scythe Beast immediately replied, "This time, the reward offered by the other world was extremely high, so many powerful individuals from the Dark Side have infiltrated the ranking competition. As far as I know, there are no less than five bounty hunters, and one of them has even infiltrated the ordered world that ranks third in overall strength in the Void."
Ye Ling took out the stone tablet and continued to ask Scythe Beast, "Is this the Void Seal that the other world is looking for?"
Scythe Beast nodded. "Yes, yes... this is the Void Seal. Each of the four great dangerous lands of the Hidden Void guards one."
Ye Ling: "What is the use of the Void Seal?"
Scythe Beast: "I don't know about that. The other world only released partial information about the Void Seal. I know that one Void Seal can be exchanged for a Karma Skill and a Seed of Rules from the other world. It is extremely precious."
Ye Ling: "Alright, one more question. How did you know I was Sin?"
Upon hearing Ye Ling's question, Scythe Beast was taken aback. He then looked at Ye Ling with surprise and took a while to react. "So you haven't awakened? But it's true, if you had awakened, the other world would have reacted."
Ye Ling frowned slightly. "What do you mean? Is Sin famous in the Void's Dark Side?"
"Famous? Sin is the founder of the other world and was once the strongest in the Void's Dark Side. Anyone who has made a name for themselves in the Dark Side basically knows how powerful Sin is. In fact, I'm also your fan."
Scythe Beast said exaggeratedly, flattering Ye Ling both overtly and covertly.
After all, his life was still in Ye Ling's hands.
Ye Ling ignored Scythe Beast's flattery and said, "Tell me everything you know about Sin!"
Although Ye Ling didn't believe he was Sin, his unclear relationship with Sin was an undeniable fact.
He had acted in the Primordial Chaos before, and Sin's identity had nothing to do with him... But now his stage spanned both the bright and dark sides of the Void, and with the emergence of the powerful force of the other world within the Void's Dark Side, Ye Ling needed to have a clear understanding of Sin.
Otherwise, he might not know how he died in the future.
Scythe Beast knew that Sin would be constantly reincarnated under the pursuit of the other world, and that he would lose his memory with each reincarnation. Therefore, he was not surprised by Ye Ling's request and agreed, "No problem, sir! I will tell you all the deeds of yours that I know!"
