"Is it not possible..."
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Bai Xuanxuan's brightened eyes dimmed again.
In fact, she had expected Ye Ling's answer.
There were countless beings stronger than her in the Emperor's Hall, yet even so, the Emperor's Hall could not escape its fate of destruction.
If even the Emperor's Hall could not withstand the Seven Star Pillars, then with her meager strength, she could not change anything.
Seeing Bai Xuanxuan's dejected look, the World-Destroying Spirit Fire couldn't help but sigh, "This girl is also a pitiable person, born in troubled times. Now, everything must be based on strength. Although her strength is barely passable in the Nine Heavens Realm, once the Chaos Battlefield descends, she will be nothing more than a blade of grass in the chaos, her life worthless."
Ye Ling did not refute the World-Destroying Spirit Fire's words, but he also did not dampen Bai Xuanxuan's confidence. He comforted Bai Xuanxuan, "I will find a way for you regarding the Emperor's Hall. For now, you can temporarily stay in Tianren City. The grand auction I am holding in Tianren City is about to open, and I am in need of staff. You can come and help me."
Bai Xuanxuan was also in a state of panic and had nowhere to go. Now that Ye Ling had invited her, it was like a shot of reassurance, quickly calming her down.
Without any hesitation, Bai Xuanxuan agreed, "Alright, I will stay here and help you look after Tianren City."
Although Bai Xuanxuan was only considered an ordinary strong person in the Nine Heavens, coming to this Heaven meant she was like a dimensional strike. Helping Ye Ling look after a small Tianren City was more than enough.
Ye Ling then asked, "By the way, you have the identity of the Moon Wheel Saintess in the First Heaven. How much do you know about the Moon Wheel Holy Land?"
"Moon Wheel Holy Land..."
Hearing Ye Ling's question, Bai Xuanxuan frowned, thought carefully, and then shook her head, "I'm sorry, Senior Ye, I don't have any impression of the Moon Wheel Holy Land."
"I understand. Rest well, I won't disturb you." Ye Ling nodded and left Bai Xuanxuan's room without further questioning.
After leaving the room, the World-Destroying Spirit Fire asked again, "Kid, what are your plans now? After the Chaos Battlefield appears, it will continuously erode the Nine Heavens Realm. It is estimated that the entire Nine Heavens Realm will soon return to chaos. You don't have much time left."
Ye Ling rubbed his temples and said in a deep voice, "I don't have any good solutions for now. Let's see the third Star Pillar first, and then kill all seven Star Pillars. During the time the third Star Pillar arrives, hurry up and hold the auction, and arrange for Ayu."
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire said, "Let's do it this way for now. I'll help you think of something too."
"En."
Ye Ling ended the conversation and returned to the Tianren Tower, sitting down to cultivate.
After merging the power of the Soul Suppressing Ladder and the dark power, Ye Ling's strength had improved greatly, and he had mastered new powers.
His strength had expanded rapidly in a short period, which also caused his foundation to be somewhat unstable. Many of the powers he possessed were like bubbles, easily burst.
To solve these problems, what he needed most was to calm down, settle, and solidify his foundation.
The Soul Suppressing power and the dark power flowed slowly through Ye Ling's meridians, silently nourishing his body and strengthening everything about him.
The sun set in the west, and the sky gradually turned dark.
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire, guarding Ye Ling as he meditated, yawned and casually asked, "It's getting dark. Ayu should be back by now, right?"
Ye Ling slowly opened his eyes, looked at the full moon hanging in the sky, and frowned, "I have planted rune imprints in both Ayu and Ding Dang. They are currently on their way back, but judging by their speed, it seems a bit strange."
World-Destroying Spirit Fire: "Strange?"
Ye Ling said, "Ding Dang's speed is one-third faster, and its strength has suddenly increased a lot."
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire flew out from Ye Ling's wrist, transforming into a young boy, and said, "It's probably eaten some spiritual fruit or divine medicine. Seeing how nervous you are, how about I go into the Luoyun Mountain Range to take a look?"
"No need, I'll go see for myself."
Ye Ling calmed the restless spiritual energy within his body, got up, returned the World-Destroying Spirit Fire to its original form, and then disappeared from the spot with the World-Destroying Spirit Fire.
At this moment, in the Luoyun Mountain Range.
Bai Ling, along with a group of Qingyue Sect disciples, hid in the shadows, escorting Ayu and Ding Dang back to Tianren City.
After Ye Ling spoke, Bai Ling attached great importance to this task, bringing almost half of the Qingyue Sect's elites, all for the purpose of protecting Ayu's safety.
After going to the Tianyou Prison with Ye Ling, Bai Ling clearly realized the gap between the Qingyue Sect and Ye Ling.
The Qingyue Sect was insignificant to Ye Ling. If they couldn't even protect Ayu, then they would truly be worthless.
At this moment, Ye Ling suddenly appeared beside Bai Ling, startling Bai Ling, who was intently watching Ayu.
Bai Ling looked at Ye Ling with surprise, "Senior? Why are you here?"
Ye Ling glanced at Ayu and Ding Dang and said, "I'm here to check the situation."
Bai Ling composed himself and respectfully bowed to Ye Ling, "Senior, please rest assured, with the protection of the Qingyue Sect, everything is normal."
Ye Ling quickly scanned Ding Dang's condition, finding nothing unusual, but Ding Dang's strength had indeed become much stronger.
Seeing this, Ye Ling asked Bai Ling again, "During this period, what has Ding Dang eaten?"
Bai Ling was stunned, "It hasn't eaten anything!"
Ye Ling frowned, "Are you sure?"
Bai Ling: "Sure! I've been guarding in the shadows, and Ding Dang hasn't eaten all day today."
"That's strange..."
If Ding Dang hadn't eaten anything strange, its cultivation couldn't have become so much stronger out of thin air.
Ye Ling used his divine soul to carefully examine Ding Dang's body again, still finding no problems. He couldn't help but ask the World-Destroying Spirit Fire, "World-Destroying Spirit Fire, did you find anything?"
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire guessed, "Could it be that Ding Dang suddenly awakened its bloodline or something? Anyway, I haven't found any major problems!"
"I say, kid, are you too suspicious? Ayu and Ding Dang are fine now, and shouldn't you be happy that Ding Dang has become stronger?"
"Am I too suspicious?" Hearing the World-Destroying Spirit Fire's complaint, Ye Ling also began to subconsciously reflect on himself, feeling that he might have overreacted.
From the moment Ayu wanted to go back, he had been overly concerned. This kind of loss of composure was indeed a mistake he shouldn't have made.
"Forget it, it's good that nothing happened." Ye Ling shook his head, cast aside the faint unease in his heart, and returned to the Tianren Tower to continue meditating and honing his foundation.
The World-Destroying Spirit Fire also yawned again, feeling drowsy.
However, what Ye Ling and the World-Destroying Spirit Fire did not notice was... Ding Dang's eyes were lacking a certain light.
And in the depths of the Luoyun Mountain Range, in Ayu's home, a black snake was hidden under the bed, chillingly flicking its tongue and staring at the black mist in front of it.
Within that mass of black mist, Ding Dang's soul was struggling in pain.
