Chapter 201: The Family Head Doesn’t Allow Violence (Part 5)

“Smells so good!”

A cultivator caught a whiff of the aroma, and in an instant, his mouth was watering uncontrollably.

From the deepest desire of living beings, an overwhelming urge flooded his mind.

His consciousness had turned blank.

In that emptiness, there was only one thought.

“So good! So good! So good! I want to eat! I want to eat! I want to eat!”

Only this singular thought.

Anyone who smelled this fragrance, regardless of age or gender, lost their minds completely at that moment; they simply couldn’t resist their most primal instincts.

They wanted to devour whatever was producing this aroma.

No matter what it was.

In an instant, a crowd rushed toward the shattered Lu Ye.

The broken Lu Ye, surrounded by a suddenly activated formation.

This was the formation Lu Ye had set up before facing his tribulation.

He hadn’t set it up to counter the heavenly tribulation.

But to stop these crazed people.

“Boom!”

In an instant, the formation barrier was covered by countless figures.

The eyes of all those people were filled with the most terrifying greed, continuously crashing against the barrier.

The crowd kept multiplying.

As the madness surged from those behind, some of the first few who hit the barrier—those weaker—were even squeezed and burst apart.

Blood dyed the barrier, obscuring Lu Ye’s view.

Madness!

Unbelievable madness!

Lu Ye’s body was coalescing; he’d been destroyed once, and the Aroma of Achievement in Dao had been released once.

Watching so many beings completely lose their minds to the Aroma of Achievement in Dao, Lu Ye couldn’t help but sigh softly.

This fragrance was far too deadly for any living being.

His shattered body temporarily recovered.

To return to peak condition, he would need at least three days.

After all, his body had exploded into too many pieces.

However, even after reconstituting his body, the Aroma of Achievement in Dao continued to emanate, driving those around him into a frenzy.

A huge aura suddenly burst forth from Lu Ye.

“Boom!”

Countless figures were sent flying in all directions as Lu Ye seized the opportunity to escape quickly.

At that moment, everyone turned into mindless zombies, instantly getting back up after being knocked away and charging toward Lu Ye.

But it was evident that this crowd couldn’t catch up to Lu Ye’s speed.

Until Lu Ye’s figure vanished from sight.

The Aroma of Achievement in Dao gradually dissipated, and the crowd finally began to regain their senses.

“Huh? What a wonderful scent, what was that? I was practically dying to taste whatever produced that aroma!”

“Was it the fragrance emanating from Lu Ye? Why do I feel like if I just took a bite of his flesh, I could ascend?”

“I feel that way too! Just one bite, even if it means giving up the Great Dao, I’d be willing…”

At this moment, no one cared about how powerful Lu Ye truly was.

They were still lost in that fragrance; even though their consciousness had returned to some extent, their minds were absolutely consumed with the urge to take a bite of Lu Ye.

That’s the terrifying nature of the Aroma of Achievement in Dao.

Once you catch a whiff of it, your rationality no longer belongs to you; living beings are entirely driven by instinct.

Foolishly fantasizing about that supreme beauty.

Lu Ye ran ten thousand miles in one breath.

Only then did he stop in a desolate area.

It turned out that this fragrance only reached about a meter around him. Now, although his soul had released it once, his physical body had gotten stronger—it was almost at the five tribulation stage.

So now, his aroma spread directly up to a hundred meters.

Especially terrifying.

From now on, could there be no one within a hundred meters of him?

“Damn, sickly sweet!”

Lu Ye couldn’t help but curse.

This sickly sweet was too twisted; others were finding ways to torment Lu Ye.

Only this sickly sweet, even when poisoning him, poisoned him with a toxin that kept others away.

This was also Yin Qingcheng’s most genuine thought.

She wanted Lu Ye to be completely hers, not allowing any living being other than her to appear around him.

Since there was no one here, Lu Ye simply began to recover.

Waves of life force surged out.

Three days were enough for Lu Ye to return to his peak state.

Destined Realm!

Destiny knows cause and effect.

If the cause is good, heaven grants aid; if the cause is evil, disaster befalls.

This cause and effect thing, some believe it’s better to have more, as long as the causes are numerous enough, the aid will be great—many hands make light work.

Others think it’s better to have less cause and effect; with too many, even if you develop covertly, disaster can strike.

Lu Ye, in his past life as a Guardian of the Great Dao, naturally walked the path of many causes and effects.

Many hands make strong power!

But the reality has proven that even many hands aren’t particularly strong.

After all, this world is not all about the Emperor’s Banner.

The Emperor’s Banner truly supports the idea that many hands make strong power.

In this life, he could walk the path of fewer causes and effects.

After all, his Great Dao is the Dao of Seeking; he only needs to seek Dao. Relationships and friendships, they don’t matter.

There’s no best!

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Ye’s physical body had recovered and was now in peak condition.

He looked up.

Unraveled the Sky Veil Technique and Dao Veil Technique.

The power of guidance descended from the heavens.

“Senior Brother!”

Yue Hongling ran quickly toward Lu Ye, calling out loudly.

“Senior Brother, you have to wait for me, I can ascend soon, just wait for me!”

“You must remember me, I’m Yue Hongling, your junior sister, your Dao Companion!”

“Senior Brother! Senior Brother!”

…

“Young Master, Young Master, take care of yourself! Ling’er will definitely cultivate hard, and when the time comes, I’ll become the strongest sword in your hand!”

Stone Sword???

“Young Master, I was wrong! I truly realized my mistake!”

…

“Lu Ye brother… I also realized my mistake! Oh, and, my Emotion Dao has grown even stronger, I truly love you so much!”

…

“Husband, Husband, Husband…”

…

Lu Ye’s figure soared higher and higher.

He looked down at those four tiny figures, smaller than dust.

His brow held a hint of indifference.

In this moment, you have all been completely left behind; from now on, you will gradually no longer even see my back.

Space layered.

Third Heaven.

The Jiang Family had already received news early on.

At this moment, the three elders of the Jiang Family bore warm smiles, waiting at the Ascension Pool.

“The Family Head said to treat him with courtesy. Lu Ye is unfathomable; the Jiang Family doesn’t need to offend such a powerful person. If it weren’t for the Family Head’s seclusion, he would probably have come personally this time.”

“What a pity, if only Jiang Die wasn’t missing. If we brought her to seek peace, the effects would be better.”

“What if he doesn’t give the Jiang Family face?”

“Ah? No way! The Jiang Family is such a large family, actively seeking peace, would he refuse?”

“I mean, what if!”

“If he really refuses peace, then what’s there to say? Originally enemies, if he doesn’t agree to peace, then we’ll remain enemies. Even if a Destined Realm cultivator can fight beyond their tier, can he withstand the backlash of cause and effect?”

“To act? The Family Head doesn’t allow violence…”

“To act or not to act, depends on whether he knows how to appreciate kindness!”
