The white-haired old hag had a face full of wrinkles; she looked as if all the moisture had been drained from her, and she was dry and withered.

She coiled around her like a snake, and disgustingly stuck out her tongue to lick Ye Ling's shoulder, which made Ye Ling feel extremely disgusted.

Who exactly are you?

"Me? Heh heh..."

The woman opened her mouth wide to bite Ye Ling's arm, but was pushed away by a force.

She quickly stepped back before turning to Ye Ling and chuckled, "Speaking of which, I should thank you. If it weren't for absorbing your drop of blood and providing so much evil power to restore a sliver of my soul, I might have been completely annihilated in another hundred years."

Suddenly realizing something, Ye Ling exclaimed in horror, "You are that ring?"

"Hehe, that ring was deliberately made to attract people, but unfortunately, even after absorbing so many mortal souls, it still couldn't wake me up."

Fortunately, I met you. You continuously provided me with evil energy to awaken me and even gave me such a wonderful body. I am extremely satisfied.

As she spoke, she lunged at her again, but Ye Ling suddenly grabbed her by the neck and said in a cold voice, "Old hag, do you know how ugly and disgusting you are?"

She was talking to the old man for two reasons: first, to get some information, and second, to buy time.

She must accumulate enough power to kill in one strike, otherwise she is very likely to be devoured.

With the help of the Fusang tree's divine power, he used his other hand to slap the other man's head: "Old man, you've killed so many people, and you still want to kill me? Dream on."

If Ye Ling was being unilaterally abused just now, the roles are now reversed. After Ye Ling grabbed the old woman by the neck, her strength seemed to be imprisoned, and she couldn't resist at all.

Unbeknownst to Ye Ling, the space above her was constantly changing as she brutally beat the other person.

The alternating shifts between day and night left everyone in the space completely bewildered.

Having reached the summit of the snow-capped mountain, Ye Tianfei and Ye Yanling looked up at the ever-changing sky. Ye Yanling asked Ye Tianfei, "Fourth Brother, is this strange phenomenon related to Lingling? What is she going through?"

Ye Tianfei looked up at the sky for a while before speaking: "It's hard to say, it feels like a fight. Let's not talk about that for now, let's take advantage of the light and search carefully for her on the snow mountain."

But the snow-capped mountains were too vast, and it would take them a very long time to traverse them all.

Just as they were about to split up, they heard Ye Boxuan's voice from below: "You two come down, she's not on the snow mountain."

Not on the snow-capped mountain?

They hurried towards Ye Boxuan's location.

Ye Boxuan waited for them halfway up the mountain. When they arrived, he pointed into the distance and said, "Do you see the Fusang tree? There are flashes of white light there from time to time. Lingling should be there."

The two brothers looked over, but because the distance was too far and they were not psychic, they did not see the white light that their second brother had mentioned.

Ling Yan was extremely anxious. He left with the words, "Then I'll go first, you guys follow."

After he finished speaking, he was already five meters away.

Ye Tianfei lagged behind and descended the mountain with Ye Boxuan.

"Where are my eldest and third brothers? Have they already gone over?"

"Yes. My older brother noticed the anomaly first and rushed over there."

Ye Tianfei pondered for a moment, then said to Ye Boxuan, "Second brother, don't blame me for being selfish, but once Lingling is found, we shouldn't let her continue absorbing the miasma."

"The city is destroyed, so be it. After the earthquake, half the cities in the country were destroyed; one more city won't make a difference. But we can't live without Lingling; she can't be hurt."

Ye Boxuan: "I discussed this with my elder brother before we came. We really can't continue absorbing the miasma. Once her Yin-Yang Pearl loses its balance, it will be a dangerous existence for her, for this space, and for the people outside."

However, we can make suggestions to her, but we can't force her. Don't forget, she's not that brainless troublemaker; she's the real Qi Youling now, the Qi Youling who's been very opinionated since childhood, understand?

Ye Tianfei remained silent, but increased his speed even further.
