Lu Ye could break the rules of the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens.
And he did it so casually.
There was no hint of being discreet at all.
But Jiang Die couldn’t do the same.
What she could manage was to send over some treasures from the Second Heaven to the First Heaven, which, to the ordinary world, was already quite the achievement.
So Jiang Die felt utterly helpless; she truly had no way out.
The sense of crisis grew more intense.
Jiang Die was extremely irritable, like a fishbone stuck in her throat.
Why was Lu Ye always so abnormal? What gave him the right to be so freakish?
Was it because of that mysterious existence?
The eight of them knew that Lu Ye had a mysterious friend.
Sometimes he would even mutter to himself, asking Lu Ye questions that neither Lu Ye nor they could explain clearly, finally saying he had received a legacy.
Exactly what kind of legacy was still unclear.
In the last life, the upheaval in the world and the changes in the Dao were simply terrifying.
Surpassing the Celestial Lords!
Was that Lu Ye’s legacy?
But during the time when time reversed, they also heard a scream.
That wasn’t Lu Ye’s scream; it was the weird cry of something androgynous, neither male nor female.
What to do?
What to do?
She found four other women.
Ever since they learned about the fall of the Vermilion Bird, all four were lost in unprecedented confusion.
The Vermilion Bird… has fallen…
They knew Lu Ye held a grudge against them, but they never expected this hatred could drive him to commit murder.
That was the Vermilion Bird!
Accompanying Lu Ye from the First Heaven, watching him step by step become the strongest, even if she was just a simple pet bird, they must have formed some bond after such a long time, right?
Besides, the Vermilion Bird was not just an ordinary pet bird.
She was his lover, his Dao Companion.
How could he kill her?
Even if she made a mistake, you still shouldn’t kill her!
If he could kill the Vermilion Bird, he could kill them too; now, both sides had become enemies.
The life-and-death opposition.
Why… did it come to this…
The four women felt extremely distressed.
Jiang Die appeared in the heavenly prison.
“Let’s go; Lu Ye is still in the First Heaven and hasn’t ascended yet; you can come out now,” Jiang Die said.
“He’s still in the First Heaven?” Bai Qiulan raised her eyes.
“Yes, I don’t know what method he used to evade the rules of the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens. He clearly completed his tribulation but is still lingering in the First Heaven. Damn it!” Jiang Die gritted her teeth in frustration.
“So, are you going to let us go?” Bai Qiulan asked.
“Sister Bai, Lu Ye has completely severed all ties with us; now we’re enemies, do you understand?” Jiang Die pressed.
Bai Qiulan shook her head.
“We’re still master and disciple.”
“Yes, yes, master and disciple. Can you persuade Lu Ye to come over and die right away?”
Bai Qiulan…
“Xiao Die, you don’t need to be so hostile towards Lu Ye. If you give up now and sincerely apologize to him, he might forgive you. You’ve been with him for a long time and know very well what happens to those who become his enemies.”
Jiang Die was exceptionally irritated.
“I don’t need you to tell me!”
“I don’t believe he can stay in the First Heaven forever. Unless he slaughters the entire First Heaven and collects all the treasures and resources to cultivate, what stage can he reach at most? The True Person stage? Breaking through would only lead him to the Earth Immortal Realm!”
“I refuse to believe I can’t kill him!”
“If you’re useless now, I’ll find someone useful to Lu Ye!”
“Lu Ye’s friend in the Second Heaven, his friend from the last life, Du Tiansheng, and the Ancient Ming Daoist, and also, those who ascended from the Grand Dao Sect…”
As Bai Qiulan heard Jiang Die list name after name, she couldn’t help but feel her scalp tingle.
“You’ve gone mad!”
Bai Qiulan couldn’t believe it.
“If you treat Lu Ye’s acquaintances this way, even if they haven’t met in this life, doing this truly leads you to a dead end.”
“I’m already at a dead end!”
Jiang Die roared.
Yes, let’s do it this way!
She couldn’t confirm Lu Ye’s cultivation level for a long time, and Lu Ye was always cultivating; the sense of pressure for Jiang Die increased with each passing day.
Now, even while cultivating, she wondered if Lu Ye was jumping up a level every day.
It was horrifying!
Let’s just do it!
Jiang Die locked those four women up again; in the end, she could use them to withstand the damage.
If Lu Ye had the ability, he could kill them all.
The Jiang family, the Eternal Order Sect, and many affiliated forces began to move wildly in the Second Heaven.
Jiang Die was well aware of who Lu Ye had good relations with; in the last life, Lu Ye walked the path of guarding the Dao, protecting not just them but others as well.
Although in the end, many of them had perished in battle.
But they must have been significant in Lu Ye’s heart.
After all, these people hadn’t betrayed Lu Ye.
The actions of the Jiang family caused turmoil in the Second Heaven, and some factions condemned the Jiang family.
They didn’t understand why many people who had never had any contact with the Jiang family were being arrested.
Some were even completely unrelated.
The Jiang family was directly taking a list to arrest people.
From the Grand Dao Sect.
Liu Changfeng received the news and immediately changed his expression.
“Is the Jiang family crazy? What on earth did Lu Ye do to provoke you? Clearly, he has never even been to the Second Heaven, yet you guys are targeting him like this?”
Liu Changfeng paced anxiously, holding a distant stone, unsure if he should inform Lu Ye.
The Grand Dao Sect is very strong in the First Heaven and isn’t weak in the Second Heaven either, but that’s compared to ordinary forces.
If compared to a long-established power like the Jiang family, there’s still a big gap.
Perhaps given the Grand Dao Sect some time, they might catch up, but at least right now, they couldn’t.
Liu Changfeng kept pacing.
“Bring Ji Changming over!”
He was uncertain about this matter; that kid had a lot of ideas, so he should be called over to analyze it!
Soon, Ji Changming arrived.
“The Jiang family in the Second Heaven has united with the Eternal Order Sect, capturing the experts of the Grand Dao Sect and a series of people, mostly targeting Lu Ye. Should we tell him about this?” Liu Changfeng asked.
“Huh? Isn’t he already ascended?” Ji Changming was a bit confused.
“No, he’s still in the First Heaven. I don’t know how that kid offended the Jiang family in the Second Heaven. Aren’t they purely insane? They have no influence in the First Heaven at all; Lu Ye couldn’t even reach out to them. Now they’re trying to force Lu Ye to ascend!” Liu Changfeng said.
Ji Changming immediately understood.
The Sect Master was worried that telling Lu Ye might put him in a tough situation, leading him to a dead end.
The Sect Master was a bit muddled!
Sure enough, having a woman lowers your IQ—there’s no doubt about that.
“Sect Master, you’re overthinking this. Lu Ye’s current cultivation is higher than both of us, and he has never done anything reckless. This situation arose because of Lu Ye; we have no idea what he’s thinking, so it’s only right to tell him.”
“If he has the power to save someone and we hide it from him, causing others to die because of him, wouldn’t that make him feel guilty?”
