"I... I don't know..."
The Lord of the Upper Realm shook his head in distress. "I'm just an undocumented person here, my status is even lower than the lowest-ranking observer. I have no channels to know where Mr. Bai is imprisoned."
"When Tian Ji found me, I even requested Tian Ji to rescue Mr. Bai, but Tian Ji was always immersed in his own plans and completely ignored my request."
Hearing the Lord of the Upper Realm's answer, Ye Ling pondered for a moment and then asked him again, "What is Tian Ji planning? What role do you play here?"
The Lord of the Upper Realm knew he had no right to hide secrets from Ye Ling. He didn't intend to conceal anything now and honestly replied, "My strength is weak, and I cannot know the full picture of Tian Ji's plan. I only know that his target is the two Primal Kings, and I am only responsible for monitoring the battle situation here and reporting it at any time."
"Two Primal Kings?"
Ye Ling keenly captured important information from the Lord of the Upper Realm's words.
Logically, only the Primal Soul King should be left in the Observer Headquarters. Could it be that the missing Primal Chaos King was also hidden here?
The Lord of the Upper Realm shook his head. "I'm not sure... I only overheard some fragments of conversation between Tian Ji and others. I don't know the specifics."
"Who was Tian Ji talking to?"
"It was the young man inside who is currently fighting with 'them'. I only know his name is Seventeen, and nothing else."
"Hmm..."
Hearing the Lord of the Upper Realm's words, Ye Ling's eyes flickered as he began to ponder.
He had obtained a lot of information from the Lord of the Upper Realm. If used well, it could bring unexpected benefits.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Ling returned the communication device in his hand to the Lord of the Upper Realm and said, "Do your work, and pretend I don't exist."
"Yes, yes..."
The Lord of the Upper Realm naturally knew what Ye Ling intended to do, but he dared not question it at this moment. He immediately reported the battle situation between the Twin Sons and Seventeen to Tian Ji.
While the Lord of the Upper Realm was communicating, Ye Ling immediately used his soul power to locate Tian Ji's position. However, the communication device used by the Lord of the Upper Realm had a very special signal. Ye Ling could only confirm that Tian Ji was somewhere in the Observer Headquarters, but he was not sure which district.
After finishing his work report, the Lord of the Upper Realm clutched the communication device and looked at Ye Ling tremblingly, "My... My lord... My work is done."
"Does Tian Ji have any other tasks for you?" Ye Ling asked again.
"No... No..." The Lord of the Upper Realm shook his head. "And my lord, you should also know that with my meager strength, I cannot undertake core missions!"
Ye Ling raised an eyebrow. "Are you saying that Tian Ji specifically found you, made you listen to his conversation with Seventeen from outside the Primal Chaos, revealed his plan, and all this was for you to do this insignificant task that could even expose him?"
The Lord of the Upper Realm was not foolish. He immediately understood the meaning in Ye Ling's words and once again knelt before Ye Ling with a "plop."
"My lord! I swear! I really only have this task. Even if Tian Ji wants to use me for something, I am absolutely unaware of it! If my lord doesn't believe me, you can search my soul!"
The Lord of the Upper Realm knew that in front of Ye Ling, he was merely an ant that could be crushed at will.
As long as Ye Ling had the slightest suspicion, he could completely put him to death!
Seeing the Lord of the Upper Realm's panicked expression, Ye Ling understood that the Lord of the Upper Realm definitely knew nothing.
He did not make things difficult for the Lord of the Upper Realm. "I know it's not easy for you, so I don't want to make things difficult for you. As long as you help me with one thing, I will spare your life."
"My lord, please speak! Let alone one thing, even a hundred or a thousand, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
"Don't worry, it's not a difficult task," Ye Ling smiled at the Lord of the Upper Realm. "Use that peculiar communication device to report to Tian Ji that I am right beside you."
"My lord, are you sure?"
The Lord of the Upper Realm stared blankly at Ye Ling, thinking he had misheard.
Who would voluntarily reveal their location?
"I'm sure," Ye Ling smiled. "As long as you do as I ask, I won't make things difficult for you."
"Okay..."
Hearing Ye Ling's words, the Lord of the Upper Realm dared not hesitate any longer. Through the communication device, he reported Ye Ling's presence beside him to Tian Ji.
After the Lord of the Upper Realm reported Ye Ling's message to Tian Ji, a large amount of blood-red smoke began to emit from the special communication device in his hand, spreading an ominous aura all around.
Seeing the blood-red smoke emanating from the communication device in the Lord of the Upper Realm's hand, Ye Ling immediately said to him, "Quickly throw it away!"
The Lord of the Upper Realm also felt that something was very wrong. The moment Ye Ling spoke, he threw the communication device away and retreated rapidly!
Boom!!!
A large number of blood-red tentacles instantly erupted from the communication device and rushed towards the Lord of the Upper Realm at extreme speed!
Seeing that he could not avoid those blood-red tentacles, the Lord of the Upper Realm immediately cried out to Ye Ling for help, "My lord, save me!"
"Hmph!"
Ye Ling snorted coldly, instantly appeared in front of the Lord of the Upper Realm, grabbed the blood-red tentacle with one hand, and attached a large amount of Origin Text to the surface of the tentacle, quickly analyzing its properties.
The blood-red tentacle seemed extremely sensitive to the Origin Text. The moment it was eroded by the Origin Text, it directly turned into blood, scattering on the ground.
The communication device that had shot out the blood-red tentacles also heavily smashed onto the ground, breaking into two halves.
The Lord of the Upper Realm behind Ye Ling saw the communication device broken into two halves and felt his legs go weak, collapsing onto the ground.
The Lord of the Upper Realm, still shaken, swallowed and, after recovering, immediately thanked Ye Ling, "Thank you, my lord, for saving me. Otherwise, I would have been dead!"
Ye Ling did not respond to the Lord of the Upper Realm. His gaze was fixed on the shattered communication device, his eyes extremely profound.
Soon, a pile of blood-red garbled code flew out from the communication device broken into two halves, forming Tian Ji's phantom in front of Ye Ling.
"Ye Ling, you've indeed come."
Tian Ji stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Ye Ling in front of him, and smiled lightly. "Your presence here means you've dealt with the Primal Martial King, right? It seems my decision not to contend with you for the Primal Martial King was correct."
Ye Ling asked, "Is the Primal Soul King with you?"
"He has become my nourishment," Tian Ji smiled faintly. "You absorbed the Primal Martial King, and I absorbed the Primal Soul King. It's fair."
"However, the Primal Martial King is the last Primal King you can absorb."
"Ye Ling, I swear with my life that you will never... gather the power of the Seven Kings in this lifetime!"
