Chapter 166

**Chapter 166: Mother Gu (Third Update)**

“So he really didn’t kill us after all.”

Shangguan Huanling spoke seriously.

Even though Lu Ye had attacked her with a sword at their first meeting, she still didn’t believe that he truly intended to kill her.

Lu Ye knew in his heart that she had the Heavenly Demon Blood Escape, so that sword strike wouldn’t have killed her. However, his lingering resentment drove him to swing that sword.

“With such a deep-seated grudge, if he doesn’t kill you, there’s only one possibility!” Jiang Die stated.

“What possibility?”

“It’s that he thinks keeping you alive will be more painful than death!”

“Impossible!”

“Impossible!”

“Lu Ye is definitely not that kind of person!”

The four of them responded in unison.

Or rather, they all found this notion unacceptable.

“Want to give it a try?” Jiang Die raised an eyebrow.

“Jiang Die, those eight Yin-Yang Devouring Path Gu were given to us by you! We haven’t betrayed you to this day! You have to understand, we’re all in this together—we rise and fall together!” Chu Ling exclaimed.

“Ding, Lu Ye, it was her!”

Shen Xitang’s eyes lit up. This crucial information was delicious gossip!

Lu Ye was also somewhat surprised.

He initially thought it was Yin Qingcheng, and did not expect it to be Jiang Die.

At this moment, Lu Ye’s killing intent intensified.

“If I’m not mistaken, there should be a mother gu among those Yin-Yang Devouring Path Gu, right?” Lu Ye said.

“Ding, that’s correct!”

“So, all those Great Daos devoured by the Yin-Yang Devouring Path Gu have gone into Jiang Die’s hands.”

“Ding, that should be the case!”

“Is she planning to help me become a saint?”

“Ding, quite possibly!”

“Ding ding ding…”

Shen Xitang was practically bursting with excitement. This was just too good!

Having faced off against these women before, they had been no match for her.

Now, Jiang Die ignited a fierce fighting spirit within her.

Now, that was a true villain!

Now, that was a traitor, an ambitious one!

In comparison, the five women she met in the First Heaven seemed like mere child’s play.

Lu Ye’s eyes were filled with killing intent.

He had only himself to blame. He clearly knew she was deliberately getting close to him and that they had… a rather intimate relationship, yet he still brought her into his harem with a broad-minded attitude.

He had literally placed a landmine right next to himself.

Back when Jiang Die was forced to marry into the Wang Family by her own family, she was unwilling.

After Lu Ye had a relationship with her, if he did not keep Jiang Die, she would definitely end up marrying the Wang Family.

Wouldn’t that mean he’d be wearing a green hat?

Please, he was a transmigrator, someone with a fated system! How could he tolerate the existence of a green hat?

Besides, in the world of transmigration, most people ended up with a whole harem. He had already found five, what difference would one more make? He absolutely could not allow a green hat to end up on his head.

Who would have thought Jiang Die’s ambition would reach such heights?

He deserved it, didn’t he?

Can a true ambitious person ever express regret?

Lu Ye figured probably not.

So, Jiang Die was definitely killable!

…

“Now that Lu Ye is nowhere to be found, and since he doesn’t want you dead while you want to see him, plus we’re all in the same boat, I have a pretty good idea for you to try.”

“I can guarantee you that if you don’t kill Lu Ye, it remains the same plan; just incapacitate him, and you can keep him by your side forever.”

At that moment, all four women felt a wave of intense unease.

“This method…”

Before Jiang Die could finish her sentence, Chu Ling’s Magic Sword surged forth with explosive sword intent, aiming to slash at Jiang Die.

Jiang Die flicked her eyebrows, her slender fingers raised.

“Ding!”

The Magic Sword was caught between Jiang Die’s fingers, the sword qi swirling into a tempest, wreaking havoc in the Great Hall.

Yet, it couldn’t harm Jiang Die in the slightest.

Jiang Die applied a gentle force.

“Crack…”

The Magic Sword shattered into countless fragments, and a terrifying power erupted from Jiang Die’s body.

The four women simultaneously spat out blood and were sent flying.

Jiang Die was strong.

Divine Realm, absolutely a top-tier powerhouse in the Divine Realm.

No wonder she could marshal so many resources.

She had obtained part of Lu Ye’s Great Dao, which must have nourished her own Great Dao, leading to her explosive growth in strength.

Her cultivation speed was likely just a notch below Lu Ye.

Since Lu Ye altered his Great Dao, transitioning from Guarding the Great Dao to Dao of Seeking.

Impressive!

“Next, you might have to endure a little,” Jiang Die said with a smile.

“Bring them to the heavenly prison and spread the news.”

“Say that if Lu Ye doesn’t show up in seven days, I’ll execute Chu Ling on the Altar of Heaven, and in another seven days if he still doesn’t show, I’ll kill Yue Hongling—one every seven days!”

“This news must spread everywhere, let everyone in the Second Heaven know!”

“Understood!”

Lu Ye watched Jiang Die’s series of actions and couldn’t help but laugh.

What a delightful turn of events!

Go ahead, kill away!

Might as well make it real killings—no fake-outs, real bloodshed is what’s truly thrilling!

For now, there was no entertainment to be had.

“Ding, dog host, hurry up and cultivate! I want you to swiftly ascend to the Second Heaven!”

“Ding, this system’s big knife is already famished.”

Shen Xitang looked at Lu Ye with bright, sparkling eyes, her tone urgent.

“Then you better pull your weight.”

Shen Xitang immediately thumped her chest.

“Ding, don’t worry, I’ll deliver!”

Lu Ye glanced over and thought, huh?

How strange…

Shen Xitang seemed to have an even better figure than when she first transformed.

When she first took shape, the system had an absolutely perfect body, the proportions exquisitely beautiful.

But now, that perfect ratio seemed to have faded, simply due to one part becoming bigger.

Yet, it somehow looked even more beautiful.

The once ethereal beauty now had a more realistic feel to it.

Shen Xitang noticed Lu Ye’s gaze lingering on her chest.

“Ding, want to see?”

Lu Ye cleared his throat, promptly shutting his eyes.

“Ding, hmph, even if you want to see, I won’t let you.”

“Start cultivating!”

“Ding, cultivation initiated!”

Lu Ye plunged into intense cultivation, with surrounding Spirit Stones rapidly shattering and transforming into a rich Spiritual Mist rushing into his body.

Great Ascension Ninth Level!

Still rising!

At this pace, he would definitely reach the Real Body Realm within seven days.

The fourth life had already been condensed.

What kind of toxins would the Real Body Realm unleash?

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Ye stepped into the Real Body Realm right on time.

In that instant, the aura of extinction enveloped Lu Ye.

The Great Dao within him began to tremble violently.

A seed floated above Lu Ye’s embryonic form, releasing strands of black threads, completely enveloping the embryonic form.

Meanwhile…

Chu Ling was also pushed onto the Altar of Heaven.

The entire Second Heaven had already circulated this news repeatedly.

Jiang Die had set a heavenly net.

She was just waiting for Lu Ye’s arrival.
