Chapter 210: Wounded Exchange Between Master and Disciple (Part 4)

Second Heaven.

Things have become chaotic now.

Shangguan Huanling has made a fortune.

Of course, there were those who wanted to capture her and forcibly learn the Heavenly Silkworm Nine Transformations.

But Shangguan Huanling immediately used the Heavenly Demon Blood Escape to flee, and with this skill, her speed was exceptional.

Anyone trying to catch her would be noted in her little notebook; from now on, she wouldn’t teach them the Heavenly Silkworm Nine Transformations. The moment they showed up, she would be gone.

In this situation, you could say the person was discarded by the times.

Everyone else might unleash secret techniques, vastly increasing their powers, while you just sat there clueless—surely that meant you were left behind!

Under these circumstances, her strength was skyrocketing.

She has already reached the Ninth Stage of Celestial God Realm.

The most unbelievable part was that her Dao was also growing, and her affection for Lu Ye was deepening…

Perhaps in just half a month, Shangguan Huanling could undergo her tribulation.

Ridiculous!

Absolutely ridiculous!

Chu Ling also gained quite a bit from this, taking a stab at the sword sect of the Second Heaven as a bonus.

Inside a courtyard.

Yue Hongling had just returned from a battle and was looking glum.

Dao of the Fearless…

Sigh…

She felt a bit hopeless; the Dao of the Fearless was gradually slipping away from her, or rather, beginning to shatter.

No matter how hard she fought, she couldn’t stop this Dao from collapsing.

Because Lu Ye had gone to the Third Heaven.

This was the first time, and the starkest one, that she and Lu Ye were in completely different worlds.

When Lu Ye was behind her, she felt fearless.

But when he wasn’t…

“Hongling!”

Bai Qiulan called out to Yue Hongling.

Yue Hongling looked at her with vacant eyes, “Are you going to come absorb my Yin Poison again? Bring it on.”

“No, I actually want to have a serious talk with you,” Bai Qiulan said.

Yue Hongling sat down on a stool, took out her wine flask, and gulped down the strong liquor from the mortal realm, but the bitterness in her heart couldn’t be extinguished by spirits.

Raise a cup to drown your sorrows, and the sorrows only grow deeper.

“Your Dao of the Fearless is having issues,” Bai Qiulan pointed out.

“Isn’t it all your fault?” Yue Hongling replied impatiently.

Though Bai Qiulan often faced Yue Hongling’s cold words, her gaze dimmed.

“While I bear some responsibility, the biggest issue lies with your senior brother,” Bai Qiulan stated.

A hint of sarcasm appeared on Yue Hongling’s lips.

“What, is senior brother at fault again? He’s already ascended to the Third Heaven, he’s not in our world anymore, and he’s still at fault?”

Each word carried a heavy scent of gunpowder.

Can’t take it? Yue Hongling was hoping Bai Qiulan wouldn’t. If so, she should back off far away.

“What I mean is, your Dao of the Fearless collapsing is not due to the pain my Yin Poison caused you, but because Lu Ye is no longer standing behind you. You’ve lost your support; that’s the real reason your Dao is shattering.”

“Are you trying to wriggle out of this? Do you have any idea what kind of pain your Chaos Yin Poison can bring? It can kill someone with pain. Even in my past life as a Great Emperor, I couldn’t endure that level of suffering. How did my senior brother endure it back then? Don’t you know?”

“Senior brother bore so much pain for you, and yet you still choose to poison us. There’s no iron or stone harder than your heart!”

Yue Hongling used the most piercing words to stab at Bai Qiulan’s heart.

Bai Qiulan’s face turned pale.

She knew the truth about Lu Ye suffering for her.

Bai Qiulan’s emotions were unstable, “Are you really so much better than me?”

“Of course I am! At least I didn’t make senior brother suffer so much!”

“But you love Feng Wuxie, and while you may not suffer physically, you’ve caused Lu Ye emotional pain!”

Instantly, Yue Hongling exploded.

Feng Wuxie was a taboo in her heart, the most unwelcome painful memory she preferred never to recall.

How could she have known Feng Wuxie was that kind of person… that kind of monster?

“You’re such a hypocrite! You clearly know your brother suffered for you, yet you use that unbreakable master-disciple bond to make him feel guilty. You can’t survive without relying on others; you’re just a parasite that brings endless pain to others!”

Bai Qiulan suddenly raised her hand, Chaos Yin Power swirling in her palm.

“Come on, kill me! If you kill me, who will absorb the Yin Poison for you? Chu Ling? She’s been avoiding you for ages. Shangguan Huanling is hiding from you too. Everyone thinks you’re like a viper and stays as far away from you as possible. If you kill me, you’ll die in endless pain as well! It’s a perfect end, anyway; I don’t want to live anymore!”

Yue Hongling tilted her head back, inviting Bai Qiulan to strike.

Bai Qiulan’s expression fluctuated, her chest heaving violently.

In the end, she sighed.

“Hongling, I’m not here to argue with you.”

“Hmph!”

Yue Hongling took another big swig of liquor.

“I think your Dao of the Fearless isn’t crumbling because you fear pain, but because you’re drifting further away from Lu Ye. That’s why it’s collapsing.”

“Since you have regrets, why not go all out? Chase after Lu Ye’s steps, fight alongside him, make his enemies your enemies, and do everything you can to help him feel your genuine remorse?” Bai Qiulan suggested.

“Easier said than done! What kind of cultivation speed does my senior brother have? Why should I be able to keep up with him?”

“That’s why you need to try even harder! Rather than watching your Dao of the Fearless shatter little by little, why not burn your boats and make catching up with Lu Ye and regaining his heart your ultimate goal?”

“You have everything to achieve that goal; that’s what your Dao of the Fearless is meant to be!”

I have to say, Bai Qiulan had a bit of insight.

Those words struck deep within Yue Hongling’s heart.

Yes, to rekindle her brother’s heart.

She could die for that!

What was there to fear if she wasn’t afraid of dying?

“So, what’s your agenda?” Yue Hongling glared at Bai Qiulan.

Bai Qiulan sighed.

“Is that really how you see me…”

Yue Hongling’s eyelids didn’t even twitch.

Bai Qiulan…

“Alright, the Taiyin Bone Bug is about to metamorphose, and it’s bound to trigger a storm of Chaos Yin Power. I need your help!”

Yue Hongling didn’t even bother to disguise her disdain.

She was clearly worried she wouldn’t be able to hold on against this and would end up frozen to death.

However, it couldn’t be denied—she made some points.

Senior brother, I will definitely catch up with you!

I will!

…

Third Heaven.

Lu Ye suppressed the urge to sneeze; someone was definitely thinking about him.

However, the people thinking about him weren’t even worth a sneeze.

Even if he had to sneeze, he had to hold it in!

He was that ruthless.

Huh?

Nine energies from Return to One Realm?

Alright, let’s wipe out the Jiang Family’s strongmen, and now someone’s coming to snatch my loot, huh?
