The entire city of Luo was stunned by the scene projected in the sky.
A single person, capable of effortlessly dictating the life and death of hundreds of thousands of soldiers, possessed a power that rivaled gods, unheard of in this world!
"This, this is impossible..."
Yan Feiying stared blankly at the spectacle in the sky, muttering "impossible" repeatedly, unable to believe her own eyes.
This was nothing short of a miracle!
"Yan Feiying, I'll count to three. This is your last chance," Ye Ling said calmly, looking at Yan Feiying. "Three..."
"I, I'll talk! I'll tell you everything!"
Upon seeing her husband and son under Ye Ling's control, Yan Feiying's psychological defenses completely crumbled. She quickly confessed, "The one who gave me the beads is the Grand Preceptor of Great Yan! He is currently in seclusion within the Imperial Palace!"
"The Grand Preceptor of Great Yan?"
Hearing Yan Feiying's words, a flicker of surprise crossed Ye Ling's eyes. "Are you sure?"
No matter how powerful a supervisor was, Ye Ling believed they should at least be a regional overlord on the Bai Yu Continent or an ascendant immortal.
Now, the supervisor was acting as a Grand Preceptor in Great Yan... Ye Ling's first reaction upon hearing Yan Feiying's statement was that the Grand Preceptor of Great Yan was merely a pawn of the supervisor.
Yan Feiying affirmed, "It is absolutely true! The Grand Preceptor gave me not just one bead, but many other things. They are all in my manor, and I can bring them out!"
"Then bring out everything the Grand Preceptor gave you for me to see," Ye Ling said quickly.
"Yes! Yes! I'll go get them now!"
As Yan Feiying spoke, she turned to flee back to the Ji manor. However, before she could take more than a few steps, she exploded into a mist of blood!
Blood splattered everywhere, leaving everyone present dumbfounded.
"Grandmother!"
Baima cried out in shock as Yan Feiying exploded, looking at Ye Ling with confusion, believing Ye Ling was responsible!
Following Yan Feiying's explosion, the Ji family members under Ye Ling's control, as well as the Ji family army at the Great Yan border, all turned into blood.
The space above Luo City warped, and the blood of hundreds of thousands of people flowed from the distorted space, forming a waterfall in the sky that poured into Luo City.
In an instant, Luo City descended into utter chaos.
What was once a prosperous metropolis transformed into a hellscape, with countless people submerged in the blood.
"Wh-why..." Baima stared blankly at the blood-red waterfall descending from the sky, unable to comprehend Ye Ling's actions.
Just a moment ago, he was questioning normally, and Yan Feiying had begun to cooperate. Why would Ye Ling unleash such slaughter in the next moment?
However, Ye Ling's brow furrowed, and he said, "It wasn't me."
"It, it wasn't Benefactor who did it?" Baima was stunned by Ye Ling's reply.
On the entire Bai Yu Continent, besides Ye Ling, who possessed power comparable to gods, who else in this world could achieve such a feat?
Yet, Baima also knew that Ye Ling had no reason to lie to her, nor was he obligated to explain himself to her.
Even if Ye Ling had done all this, she would be powerless to do anything.
Ye Ling looked towards the Imperial Palace, his eyes narrowing slightly. He muttered to himself, "Are you provoking me... or are you trying to deliberately conceal something?"
Boom!
As soon as Ye Ling finished speaking, a blood-red blade erupted from the depths of the Imperial Palace, tearing through the palace and the earth, slashing towards Ye Ling.
The blood energy that had poured into Luo City was absorbed by the blood blade, and the entire world turned a dark crimson due to its presence.
However, despite the immense power of the blood blade, Ye Ling's gaze sharpened slightly.
"As expected, he is not the supervisor!"
Ye Ling had clashed with the supervisor multiple times and had a considerable understanding of their power and attack methods.
While the blood blade attacking him now was powerful and contained the supervisor's aura, it did not resemble the supervisor's typical methods of attack. Instead, it felt more like the work of fate!
A thought flashed through Ye Ling's mind. He caught the incoming blood blade with one hand and crushed it!
Crack!
The power released from the shattered blood blade spread outwards, transforming into boundless blood energy that engulfed the entire city of Luo. The ordinary citizens within the city, submerged by the blood waterfall, struggled in the crimson tide.
"Is this an attempt to sacrifice the entire city?"
Seeing the blood engulfing Luo City, Ye Ling did not stand idly by. He immediately used his spiritual energy to grasp the surviving residents within the city and transferred them outside its limits.
Although Ye Ling had come to deal with the Ji family, his nature prevented him from witnessing innocent civilians caught in the crossfire between him and the supervisor.
Beside Ye Ling, Baima was completely stunned as the once-prosperous Luo City instantly turned into a sea of corpses and blood.
She didn't know who Ye Ling was fighting at the moment, but she understood that a battle of this magnitude was far beyond what the Bai Yu Continent could withstand!
Baima had a premonition that if Ye Ling and his enemy unleashed their full power, the entire Bai Yu Continent might be destroyed!
After witnessing a battle of world-ending proportions, Baima suddenly felt that the political struggles of her Tianlun Kingdom or the family feuds of the Ji family were utterly laughable, like ants fighting over food.
They were completely meaningless!
As Baima was lost in thought, a figure suddenly flew out from the Imperial Palace. Seizing the opportunity while Ye Ling was rescuing the citizens of Luo, the figure transformed into a black streak of light and fled into the distance.
"Trying to escape?"
Seeing the fleeing black shadow, a sharp glint appeared in Ye Ling's eyes. He immediately condensed a massive rune cage at the border of Great Yan, enveloping the entire country.
Boom!!!
The black figure slammed into the rune cage, the immense collision echoing through the heavens and earth.
As the figure was disoriented by the impact, numerous dark chains shot out from the rune cage, entangling the figure. Ye Ling's Devouring Domain and Ink simultaneously took effect, instantly subduing the individual.
Seeing how easily he had controlled the black figure, Ye Ling's brow furrowed. He said in a deep voice, "Even if it's fate, this is too weak. What is going on?"
Ye Ling murmured to himself and, with a casual wave, pulled the restrained person at the Great Yan border back to him.
"Kneel!"
Ye Ling's voice was sharp. The handsome man in a Taoist robe, adorned with a string of prayer beads and with white hair, immediately knelt in the pool of blood.
"Grand Preceptor!" Baima's eyes widened slightly as she saw the white-haired man kneeling before Ye Ling, exclaiming in surprise.
She never imagined that it was indeed the Grand Preceptor of Great Yan confronting Ye Ling!
Hearing Baima's exclamation, Ye Ling asked, "Is this the Grand Preceptor of Great Yan?"
Baima nodded, "Yes... I met the Grand Preceptor of Great Yan at the Ji family when I visited with my mother."
Ye Ling glanced at the string of red beads around the Grand Preceptor of Great Yan's neck and said, "It seems Yan Feiying wasn't lying. Your beads were indeed given by the Grand Preceptor of Great Yan."
The beads around the Grand Preceptor of Great Yan's neck were identical to Baima's.
The Grand Preceptor of Great Yan, restrained by the chains, struggled and glared at Ye Ling, roaring, "Ye Ling, kill me or torture me as you please. I have no information about the supervisor here!"
Hearing the Grand Preceptor of Great Yan's words, Ye Ling couldn't help but chuckle. "I haven't even asked you yet, and you've already confessed. Isn't that like protesting too much?"
