"That's right," Ye Ling formed a hand seal and said to Jiu Ling, "Wear the bracelet properly, don't lose it."
Jiu Ling didn't understand what Ye Ling was going to do, but she followed his instructions. She transformed into her human form and quickly put the silver bracelet on her fair wrist.
Jiu Ling was the progenitor of the Nine-Tailed Fox clan, and even among the many beauties in the fox tribe, her own beauty was unparalleled.
When she hastily transformed into her human form, many of the hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals fighting fiercely in the sky were captivated by her beauty, momentarily forgetting their battle.
Due to this momentary lapse, a large number of heavenly soldiers and generals were torn apart by the Mother of Calamity, their souls returning to the Heavenly Court to await rebirth.
It could be said that Jiu Ling's transformation caused nearly a tenth of the hundred thousand heavenly soldiers to be lost!
Ye Ling was also seeing Jiu Ling's human form for the first time, and he was momentarily stunned.
Even Ye Ling, who had seen countless beauties, had to admit that with Jiu Ling's beauty, even if she were placed on the Eastern Xuan Continent, she would undoubtedly be considered a level that could bring ruin to a nation!
"Emperor... what's wrong?"
Jiu Ling hadn't realized what she had done, and she looked at Ye Ling innocently, asking, "Is it because Jiu Ling is too ugly? Does it embarrass the Emperor?"
Jiu Ling had guarded this ancient ruin for a million years, alone during this vast period. Because of this, she didn't have a good understanding of her own appearance, so it was normal for her to misunderstand.
However, Jiu Ling's aggrieved expression and the tears in her eyes made the heavenly soldiers and generals fighting fiercely in the sky feel their hearts melting, losing all desire to fight.
For a moment, the heavenly soldiers and generals retreated repeatedly, and even Nezha, who was at the forefront, had his mind affected.
Seeing this, Li Jing became anxious and quickly shouted to Ye Ling, "Emperor! Quickly subdue that demoness, she has already disrupted our army's morale!"
"Alright, alright! Just a moment!"
Ye Ling found this situation both amusing and exasperating. He quickly infused his demonic energy into the silver bracelet on Jiu Ling's wrist, simultaneously erasing all the chaotic energy within a hundred-meter radius, leaving only a vacuum!
The members of the Hongchen Pavilion kneeling before the Tongtian Tower were now clearly visible without the cover of chaotic energy. Above the heads of Yang Zhuo and the others, faint threads of soul power remained, extending into the air.
These soul power threads were extremely weak. Even with Ye Ling blocking all the surrounding chaotic energy, it was difficult to extract them. They could only be traced forward for about ten meters.
Jiu Ling saw the soul power threads and observed them carefully, asking Ye Ling, "Those soul power threads... seem to be connected to another space. Emperor, are you trying to track the hidden space within the ruins through these soul threads?"
Ye Ling nodded, "Yes, that's my idea. However, the soul power of these Hongchen Pavilion members is too weak. It's too difficult to track the hidden space solely through these soul threads."
"Therefore, I need your help."
Jiu Ling was suddenly stunned, "How can I help?"
She was completely in the dark about what she was supposed to do, not knowing how she could help Ye Ling.
Ye Ling smiled slightly, tearing open space at the end of those soul threads, causing spatial turbulence to erupt, sweeping everything around!
Almost instantly, the bodies of the Hongchen Pavilion's members, along with everything around them, were shredded by the spatial storm, leaving no trace!
They... they were all gone?
Jiu Ling had never seen a spatial storm before, and she was completely stunned by its power, standing there blankly with a chaotic mind.
That spatial storm, even a Saint would probably be destroyed if caught in it!
Just as the spatial storm was about to engulf Jiu Ling, Ye Ling forcibly suppressed it, restoring peace to the surroundings.
After stabilizing the spatial storm, Ye Ling enveloped Jiu Ling with his demonic energy and said, "Go, the task of finding the hidden space is entrusted to you."
"En... entrusted to me?"
Hearing Ye Ling's words, Jiu Ling was somewhat bewildered, unable to react for a moment.
'Does the Emperor mean... for me to enter that spatial turbulence to find the hidden space?'
Jiu Ling thought she had misheard and stared intently at Ye Ling, hoping to hear a denial from him.
Ye Ling smiled, "Since you have an impression of that bracelet, you should also have an impression of the location of that hidden space."
"I've cast a spell on the bracelet. As long as the bracelet gets close to its original location, it will react. Combined with your vague memories and the faint soul threads of the Hongchen Pavilion members, you should be able to find the hidden space."
Jiu Ling said anxiously, "But... but I..."
"No 'buts,' you can do it!"
Before Jiu Ling could speak, Ye Ling wrapped her with demonic energy and threw her into the spatial turbulence.
With Jiu Ling's scream, the space torn open by Ye Ling slowly closed.
Within the ancient ruins, Jiu Ling's presence could no longer be detected.
After doing all this, Ye Ling glanced at the Mother of Calamity and the hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals. Nezha was fighting the Mother of Calamity to a standstill, and Yang Jian had not yet made a move. With the Heavenly Court's forces present, the Mother of Calamity could not break through to reality in a short period.
Seeing the situation clearly, Ye Ling felt relieved. He left the Mother of Calamity to Li Jing and the others to deal with, and he himself tore open space again, following Jiu Ling.
Yang Jian, standing in the clouds, saw Ye Ling leave. A deep look flashed in his eyes. He patted the Howling Celestial Dog standing beside him, letting it jump off the clouds and flee towards the horizon.
Soon, the Howling Celestial Dog left the ancient ruins and disappeared, its whereabouts unknown.
Within the spatial turbulence, Jiu Ling was enveloped by Ye Ling's demonic energy, and the surrounding turbulence could not harm her in the slightest.
After the initial panic, Jiu Ling, realizing that the spatial turbulence could not harm her, gradually calmed down and carefully observed her surroundings, searching for the coordinates of the hidden space.
In the void, there was only endless spatial storms, with violent spiritual energy raging. Even a Saint would not be able to last long here before being shredded by the spatial storms!
Even though Jiu Ling's cultivation was sufficient to ascend to immortality, she was only at the Heavenly Palace realm, two major realms below a Saint. With her cultivation, let alone finding the coordinates of the hidden space in this spatial storm, it was extremely difficult for her to even see her surroundings clearly!
Under these circumstances, she was completely unable to accomplish what Ye Ling had tasked her with!
However, just as Jiu Ling was at a loss, she suddenly noticed that the bracelet on her wrist emitted an unusual glow.
A faint, indistinct path appeared in her vision.
