Chapter 160: Vanishing

“I did it!”

“Hahaha, I did it! I’ve done it again!”

The incredibly excited voice echoed within Bai Lan Peak.

Yue Hongling, looking pale and weak, stepped out. With the help of Yin Power, her cultivation had indeed skyrocketed.

However, every time she assisted Bai Qiulan in alleviating the Chaos Yin Poison, it was a massive test for her Dao heart.

Chu Ling and Shangguan Huanling had both trained in the **Feminine Extreme Yin Sutra**, but they didn’t share the same intimacy as between Yue Hongling and Bai Qiulan.

They could only step in to help Yu Hongling when she truly couldn’t handle it anymore.

As for Shangguan Huanling’s Dao heart… she didn’t really have one at all, thanks to possessing the **Origins Devouring Heaven Sutra**. Otherwise, she would have ended up like that elder from the **Pleasure Sect**, having her soul instantly frozen.

“What did you do?” Yue Hongling couldn’t help but ask.

“I cultivated the Emotion Dao!”

Shangguan Huanling’s declaration caused Yue Hongling’s brain to short-circuit.

“What?!”

Yue Hongling’s voice shot up a notch.

“The Emotion Dao! I’ve cultivated it again. It turns out, I still love Brother Lu Ye! I still love him! I’m going to find him right now and let him know I still love him.”

Shangguan Huanling couldn’t wait to fly straight towards Lu Ye’s place.

“Brother Lu Ye, Brother Lu Ye! I’ve cultivated the Emotion Dao again! You have to see my Emotion Dao!”

Yue Hongling watched as Shangguan Huanling dashed off.

She fell silent.

Deeply silent.

So, is this what they mean by fools having their fortunes?

The simplest-minded Shangguan Huanling realized her mistake the fastest and re-cultivated the Emotion Dao.

Is it true that there’s always a bigger fool?

When Lu Ye loved you, you let your Emotion Dao vanish; now that he doesn’t love you, you’ve brought it back…

At that moment, Yue Hongling didn’t even know how to evaluate this situation.

Lu Ye, upon hearing Shangguan Huanling’s words, was also left stupefied.

Not you…

Forget it, forget it; let’s put the **Grand Dao Sect** aside for now.

It’s too chaotic.

Lu Ye’s figure vanished, and when he reappeared, he was already at the ruins of the **Eternal Order Sect**, quickly setting up an array as vast spiritual energy gathered around him.

He was getting closer to crossing the **Transcending Tribulation Realm**.

After successfully crossing tribulation, using the **Dao Veil Technique** and the **Sky Veil Technique** together, who knows if it’ll work?

If it fails, he’d be running for his life.

If he succeeds, the Emperor’s Banner will surely cover the entire **Second Heaven**.

Shangguan Huanling hadn’t found Lu Ye and felt a sudden pang in her heart.

Could it be that he has already ascended?

No way!

She brought this news back, and Bai Qiulan personally arrived to open Lu Ye’s courtyard door.

“He’s clearly not here.”

“Could it be that he really ascended? I haven’t heard any news about his ascension!”

“I’ll ask the sect leader!”

Bai Qiulan flew towards the **Questioning Dao Hall**.

At this moment, in the Questioning Dao Hall, Liu Changfeng was playing chess with a silver-haired woman. The woman, with a sword on her back, exuded confidence. Although she looked a bit older, she had her own charm.

“Sect leader, Bai Qiulan requests an audience!”

Liu Changfeng paused slightly with the chess piece in hand.

The silver-haired woman couldn’t help but smile meaningfully.

“Old Liu, should I step back for a while?” Qin Yingyue said with a grin.

Liu Changfeng gently shook his head, reaching out to hold her sword-gripping hand.

“No need. Perhaps today is a good day; it’s time to announce the union between the **Supreme Sword Sect** and the **Grand Dao Sect**.”

Qin Yingyue’s cheeks flushed for a moment, but she couldn’t help but retort.

“Are we just a union?”

Liu Changfeng couldn’t help but laugh.

“Ah, I misspoke. It should be a harmonious union!”

“Let Bai Shimei in!”

Liu Changfeng stood up and sat in the sect leader’s position, wearing a friendly yet authoritative smile.

As the Grand Dao Sect rose to become the top sect in the **Great Wilderness**, Liu Changfeng’s aura grew stronger, and his cultivation soared.

The entire Grand Dao Sect was ramping up crazily.

Recently, they had five more who reached the **Transcending Tribulation Realm**, and there were a ton who entered the **Unity of Dao Realm** and **Refining Void Realm**.

Bai Qiulan got permission and quickly entered.

“Bai Qiulan greets the sect leader!”

Bai Qiulan saluted.

“Bai Shimei, this is Sword Immortal Yingyue. Do you remember her?” Liu Changfeng said with a smile.

“Of course I remember! I fought with Sword Immortal Yingyue back then, and her sharp sword energy made me suffer greatly; it’s fresh in my memory. Seeing Sword Immortal Yingyue now, your cultivation has indeed advanced. Congratulations!” Bai Qiulan said with a smile.

“Yingyue and I will be completing the Dao companion ceremony next month. If Bai Shimei has time, you’re welcome to join us,” Liu Changfeng said, grinning.

Bai Qiulan was somewhat surprised.

In her previous life, Liu Changfeng didn’t end up with Qin Yingyue.

Yet in this life, they were together; truly, worldly affairs change, and human hearts are hard to predict.

However, Bai Qiulan had absolutely no interest in Liu Changfeng, even if he made the right choices multiple times, leading the sect step by step toward prosperity.

That was genuine charisma.

But no matter how charismatic he was, can he compare to Lu Ye?

She wouldn’t accept Lu Ye, let alone Liu Changfeng.

“Then I congratulate the sect leader and Sword Immortal Yingyue; I shall certainly come and enjoy a toast at your celebration.”

At that moment, Liu Changfeng truly let go and felt relieved.

“Hahaha, great! Thank you for your blessings, Elder Bai! May I ask why you’ve come today?”

“Sect leader, do you know the whereabouts of my disciple Lu Ye?” Bai Qiulan asked.

“Lu Ye? Not sure.”

“He hasn’t ascended, has he?”

Liu Changfeng pondered for a moment.

“He shouldn’t have ascended. If he did, he would have informed the sect.”

Bai Qiulan sighed in relief, “That’s good.”

“Farewell, Autumn Orchid!”

Bai Qiulan turned to leave.

Liu Changfeng called out again.

“Bai Shimei!”

Bai Qiulan paused.

“Sometimes, rules aren’t that important; your own happiness is the most important.”

Bai Qiulan fell silent.

She remained silent for nearly ten seconds before finally taking a step forward and leaving quickly.

It was too late…

That day, the news of Lu Ye’s disappearance stirred waves in the hearts of four women.

Ultimately, Lu Ye had vanished.

Perhaps Lu Ye, having been reborn, didn’t leave the **Grand Dao Sect** right away as he still held a shred of hope for them.

But now, it was evident that Lu Ye was thoroughly disappointed and chose to leave.

When was the last time she saw Lu Ye?

It seemed to be when he returned the **Taiyin Bone Bug** to her.

Bai Qiulan clenched her fist.

“Lu Ye must be preparing to ascend. Hongling, Ling’er, Huanling, if you three wish to continue following in his footsteps, then you must train harder from now on!”

“It might be even more painful.”

“But can you endure for the sake of finding Lu Ye?”

“Yes!”

Yue Hongling’s voice was the most resolute.

“I want to find my lord!”

Chu Ling also affirmed her determination.

“It really hurts…”

Shangguan Huanling struggled to cope with it.
