#686 - Chapter 686 I Overestimated Myself

Hearing Ye Ling speak, the puppet soldiers were momentarily stunned, evidently not expecting anyone to understand their words.

However, they tacitly remained silent, surrounding Ye Ling in a tight circle.

The order given to them from above was simple: to safely bring the person back.

They didn't need to worry about anything else.

Ye Ling didn't see anyone around, but she instinctively felt the surrounding temperature drop several degrees.

As the Spirit of All Things, she could instantly reverse the universe and regulate the climate and temperature.

But now she couldn't maintain a constant temperature, indicating that the opponent this time was far from simple.

"Who are you? Are you here to rob me of my wealth or my beauty? I'll give you ten thousand spirit stones if you tell me your purpose."

Without a second thought, Ye Ling spoke, trying to entice them.

Hearing Ye Ling's words, everyone present was astonished and gaped.

It wasn't that they wanted to be mean, but the woman before them was simply lacking in self-awareness.

Looking so pathetic, who would be so blind as to take a fancy to her?

Seeing that the other party remained silent, Ye Ling immediately confirmed her suspicion.

It seemed that the Other World was still incorrigible, even after being taught a lesson by Ye Kong, they still kept coming.

No wonder Hong Chang said he'd rather offend a gentleman than a petty person.

"Are you from the Other World?"

Ye Ling stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point.

Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, the puppet soldiers hesitated for a moment, remaining silent.

They hadn't made a move yet, so they still retained their own consciousness.

Once they started fighting, they would no longer be themselves, so there was no need for idle talk at this moment!

Seeing that she had asked the other party many times without receiving a response, Ye Ling was instantly enraged.

No matter what, she was the Spirit of All Things, and except for having to humble herself before Ye Kong, where else had she ever suffered such indignity?

These people were simply too ignorant!

After thinking this, Ye Ling launched an attack directly.

She channeled the power of heaven and earth, fused with the power of nature, and launched an attack in all directions, accompanied by a torrential downpour.

Although she couldn't see anyone around her, her intuition told her that they were right beside her.

Seeing the attack coming, the puppet soldiers hidden in mid-air instantly had a layer of bloodthirsty excitement in their eyes.

The pitiful bit of autonomous consciousness remaining within their bodies was instantly replaced by a powerful attacking consciousness, and their original azure blue eyes turned completely red.

The moment their eyes turned crimson, their gazes became instantly vacant, and their bodies suddenly swelled, but every step they took became incredibly stiff.

For some reason, at that moment, Ye Ling felt an extremely ominous premonition in her heart.

In mid-air, the thick clouds were also torn apart, hanging low in the sky.

Ye Ling's attack completely failed to harm the puppet soldiers.

Instead, her attack caused their eyes to be filled with bloodthirsty madness and evil charm.

The desire to fight in their hearts was gradually awakened.

As their desire to fight was completely awakened, their originally transparent bodies began to manifest in the air.

Ye Ling was stunned for a moment, then saw countless semi-blue figures appear in the air.

Their faces were almost identical, and their heights were also similar, not much different from the people of the Immortal Realm.

The only difference was that their skin was a nearly transparent light blue, their eyes were also blue, and their hair was blue as well.

Their faces lacked the emotions that normal people should have.

They lacked even the most common emotions that normal people easily displayed, such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness, and their wooden gazes carried a hint of emptiness.

Their eyes sometimes turned red and sometimes turned blue, and the aura around them was constantly changing.

The sudden rise in temperature emanating from their bodies made Ye Ling feel uneasy.

She now remembered something Hong had once said.

Once, a Great Emperor had a group of puppet soldiers under his command to do his bidding.

These puppet soldiers didn't need to eat or drink, were invulnerable to swords and spears in battle, and couldn't be killed.

Thinking of this, Ye Ling's face paled.

She never expected that these legendary beings would suddenly appear before her.

But despite her confusion, Ye Ling's hands didn't stop moving.

She used her spiritual power to draw upon the power of nature, spreading it in the air, and soon, wherever Ye Ling's natural power had spread, it was covered with dense vines and plants.

Some plants even took root, budded, and bloomed in the air.

The sky was filled with green vines, instantly turning the entire world into a green ocean, swaying in the wind.

Ye Ling exerted great force, making these green nets even more solid.

If one looked closely, it wasn't difficult to see that these green nets were also shimmering with a faint halo.

"Since I can't kill you, I'll trap you all. Let's see how you can harm people?"

Ye Ling said smugly, seemingly very proud of the idea she had come up with.

She knew that these green plants contained the power of taboo, which she had secretly learned from Hong back then.

This power of taboo was very overbearing; the more people trapped inside struggled, the tighter the power of taboo would bind them, and eventually, the trapped person would be suffocated to death by the increasingly smaller space.

Back then, Fa Neng was trapped in the forbidden land by Hong, thanks to Fa's carelessness and being calculated by Hong's power of taboo, which was why Fa was eventually imprisoned in the deepest part of the Silent Land.

Although she wasn't very skilled at using it, wouldn't such an overbearing thing be able to trap a few puppet soldiers?

Ye Ling was very satisfied with her methods.

However, before she could even be smug for three seconds, a sound instantly came from the air.

It was like the wind blowing across a lake, creating a ripple.

"Heh heh..."

The group of puppet soldiers who had just been trapped by Ye Ling walked out, tilting their heads, their eyes full of killing intent, and a series of leaking sounds came from their mouths.

"How did you get out?"

Ye Ling looked at the group of people who were still standing well in front of her, utterly unable to understand.

"Heh heh!"

The answer she received was a "Heh heh!" sneer, and countless figures moved instantly.

Ye Ling couldn't help but widen her eyes, and in a daze, she seemed to see a blue sky flash before her.

It wasn't just a few puppet soldiers, but countless ones!

So much so that when Ye Ling looked around, all she saw was blue.

"How could it be like this?"

Ye Ling asked with wooden eyes, as if asking herself, or perhaps asking someone else.

In her panic, Ye Ling completely failed to notice several small figures rushing towards her from behind.

"Get away!" From a distance, came Ye Kong's voice, filled with angry embarrassment.
