Chapter 216: The Transaction (Part 1)

Yin Qingcheng never expected this.

Who would actually come to her to ask her to kill Lu Ye!

She was already heartbroken just thinking about Lu Ye enduring pain.

Kill Lu Ye? Kill Lu Ye?

Hahaha…

Of course, she would help them out!

“I can help you kill Lu Ye, but what are you willing to pay?” Yin Qingcheng gazed intently at Jiang Tianming.

“What do you want?” Jiang Tianming countered.

She wanted Lu Ye!

But she couldn’t say that out loud.

She wanted all of Lu Ye’s enemies and friends to die!

But she couldn’t say that either!

“I want the Three-Life Stone!”

Yin Qingcheng declared what she wanted.

Her husband should be reaching the Three-Life Realm soon, right? Once she obtained the Three-Life Stone, she could forcibly enter Lu Ye’s past, present, and future.

She wanted to leave her deep imprint on every single day, every moment, every inch of his flesh, and every thread of his soul.

“Three-Life Stone…”

Jiang Tianming looked a bit troubled.

That was the life item of the Three-Life River Lord; swapping for it was virtually impossible.

Then she would just need to kill the Three-Life River Lord.

The Three-Life River Lord was also a royal-level strong being; killing someone like that would surely cost the Jiang family a hefty price.

No choice!

That’s how families are.

No matter how strong you are, the ties of blood are not easily shaken off. Your youthful memories, the tenderness of blood relations, the family’s sacrifices for you—these all become your support, but they also turn into the chains that bind you.

“So, can I ask how you plan to eliminate Lu Ye?” Jiang Tianming asked.

“I can open the Chaos Dao Field.”

Yin Qingcheng said calmly.

Jiang Tianming’s eyes suddenly showed a terrifying light.

“Chaos Dao Field?”

“Right. If you want to join in, you can personally kill Lu Ye then,” Yin Qingcheng locked her gaze on Jiang Tianming.

“How can you be sure he will enter the Chaos Dao Field?” Jiang Tianming urgently inquired.

Yin Qingcheng slightly lifted the corner of her mouth.

“If you are the number one Tianjiao in the ages, would you not go for such a massive opportunity as the opening of the Chaos Dao Field?”

Jiang Tianming pondered.

He quickly got his answer—of course he would go!

The Chaos Dao Field, located beyond the Nine Heavens, is a very special place birthed in boundless chaos.

It was like a brand-new world was about to open, with paths unfolding all around.

Normally, when you possess a Dao, many parts of it get shrouded in mist, requiring you to search tirelessly to grasp its full picture.

But in the Chaos Dao Field, the Dao appears plainly in the air like scattered beans, ripe for you to observe at will.

There are even some Dao that have not fully developed yet, merely pure Dao energy; absorbing it would greatly enhance one’s enlightenment of the Dao.

Once the Chaos Dao Field opens…

You can’t imagine how lively it will be.

However, the Chaos Dao Field isn’t accessed by physical forms; it’s purely the manifestation of the Dao.

At that moment, whose Dao is stronger, and who uses it better, will have the advantage in there.

Of course, if someone perishes in there, it will strike a severe blow to their Dao, and they could even die physically along with their Dao!

For cultivators, what could be more painful than the collapse of their Dao?

Oh, Shangguan Huanling is an exception.

“Is a contract possible?” Jiang Tianming asked.

Yin Qingcheng nodded.

“It is!”

The two established a contract. Jiang Tianming left to start preparing to obtain the Three-Life Stone.

Yin Qingcheng closed her eyes, strands of Primordial Morning Mist continuously entering her fingertips, making her tremble in pain.

Yet, her stunningly beautiful face was filled with excitement!

Even though she ascended to the Seven Heavens, her husband remained in the Three Heavens.

So what?

No one can stop her from seeing her husband!

Anyone who tries will die!!!

…

At this moment, Lu Ye paused his cultivation.

He was looking at the Ten Thousand Souls Banner with Jiang Die, impressive!

After bearing so much soul juice infusion, Jiang Die’s soul had become terrifyingly powerful.

A normal soul—or even a strong person’s soul—would likely collapse under such trauma.

Why could Jiang Die endure?

Was it because she once carried the Great Emperor’s Dao fruit in a past life?

That’s a strong possibility!

Even though he helped her achieve Great Emperor, she still was a Great Emperor.

Even if the Great Emperor’s Dao fruit was weak, it was still a Great Emperor’s Dao fruit.

As far as Lu Ye knew, there was only one being in the Ten Thousand Souls Banner with a Great Emperor’s soul, and that was the Demon Ancestor’s Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Great Emperors can fall!

Even Celestial Lords can fall!

But catching someone’s soul? Nearly impossible.

So except for the Demon Ancestor, no one knows how terrifyingly mysterious a Ten Thousand Souls Banner would be when possessing a main soul of a Great Emperor.

Now, Lu Ye had one.

“If I had known…”

Lu Ye murmured those three words.

If only he hadn’t obliterated the Vermilion Bird’s soul—then the Emperor’s Banner would’ve had two Great Emperor main souls.

Ah well, next time he gets the chance to steal the Demon Ancestor’s Ten Thousand Souls Banner, he can make up for the loss of the eight main souls.

As for Yue Hongling and the others?

They wouldn’t die anytime soon!

Lu Ye hadn’t planned to kill them personally, since they hadn’t attacked him in this life; he felt responsible for past grievances, so it’s best to let it be.

But when the dark turmoil arrives, Yue Hongling’s group would most likely break down.

He just needed to keep an eye on them and collect their souls the moment they died.

Jiang Die’s soul appeared outside of the Emperor’s Banner.

Her black dress transformed into a purple one, her delicate face remained the same, and her eyes turned purple, expressionless, just like a porcelain doll.

Shen Xitang also ran out, curiously circling around Jiang Die.

“Ding, brother, she’s really angry now!”

Lu Ye could sense Jiang Die’s anger too, but he didn’t care.

“She seems to not know you sacrificed a life for her. If she dies, she doesn’t regret it. You killed too quickly for her liking,” Shen Xitang said somewhat discontentedly.

Lu Ye couldn’t help but feel helpless upon hearing that.

He truly hadn’t expected Jiang Die to act so boldly and jump right in front of him, continuously going large.

Not a single one in Yue Hongling’s group dared to act so recklessly.

Having been reborn, they didn’t dare show him an ounce of hostility.

But Jiang Die acted, and how could Lu Ye possibly hold back?

He immediately started the hunt!

Once Lu Ye set his sights on a target, you can imagine how terrifying that would be.

Jiang Die, expressionless, slightly paused.

Lu Ye… had once died for her?

How could she… not know this?
