Chapter 246: Temptation

The washbasin came crashing down towards the ground.

Lu Ye, quick as a flash, grabbed the washbasin and closed the door behind him.

Holding the corpse of Chu Ling, he placed it on the bed.

He was lost in thought.

Eight women had been killed; he was free from desire, and his Dao heart was unclouded.

Perhaps he could reform his Dao at the quickest pace.

Yeah, let’s do it!

“Boom!”

The door was violently flung open.

A hand reached in.

“Sen—”

Before he could finish the word “Brother,” a crisp crack echoed from his neck.

The corpse of Yue Hongling was similarly laid on the bed.

Bai Qiulan hadn’t yet succumbed to the toxic chaos, so she definitely wouldn’t stand a chance—gotta bail!

Lu Ye sprinted toward the Dan Pavilion, his facial features morphing into that of Qing Huo Daoist, his aura a perfect match for him.

He swiftly collected some Dan Pills.

Lu Ye instantly swapped faces and departed from the Grand Dao Sect.

“Lu Ye?”

Bai Qiulan appeared outside Lu Ye’s door, knocking.

No response.

She knocked several times, finally unable to resist, she opened the door.

What met her eyes were the corpses of Chu Ling and Yue Hongling.

Bai Qiulan’s face went pale.

He!!!

Gradually, a legend of a great thief emerged in the wilderness.

This great thief was extremely audacious; regardless of the forces or the strong, as long as your treasures weren’t on hand, they could disappear at any moment.

Moreover, no one knew the true appearance of this thief, only that he could mimic various people and a multitude of auras, making him impossible to guard against.

Before long, the Genius Ancient Battlefield opened.

Shangguan Huanling was chatting with Shangguan Wuchang.

“Who are you looking for?” Shangguan Wuchang asked.

“She’s looking for me!”

One of the guards suddenly spoke up.

A flash of light appeared, and before Shangguan Huanling could react, her head rolled to the ground.

Lu Ye darted towards the Genius Ancient Battlefield.

Vermilion Bird? Kill it!

Bai Qiulan? Kill it!

Cultivate! Cultivate! Cultivate!

“System, I want you to assist me with cultivation at full force!”

“Ding ding ding, host, don’t go crazy…” The system clanged with a series of beeps.

Lu Ye broke free from the current tribulations.

“What’s going on?”

“Ding, if you keep cultivating like this, your body will trigger the true Holy Tribulation.”

Lu Ye smacked his lips, fine.

Although he couldn’t go too crazy anymore, that brief moment of insanity during the current tribulations felt exhilarating, indescribably good!

People need to lose their minds sometimes.

After all, it’s only the current tribulation; everything is an illusion.

But if, during the current tribulation, he were to begin crossing the Holy Tribulation, it could truly bring about changes in the real world.

“Ding, host, it seems the source of darkness is starting to stir; you need to pay attention now.”

Lu Ye raised an eyebrow.

“How is it stirring?”

“Ding, no idea, but last time you dragged the source of darkness into self-detonation, this lifetime it will definitely find ways to kill you.”

Lu Ye started to ponder.

His aura kept rising; having passed the Three Lifetimes Tribulation, one could say his Dao heart was now utterly perfected.

From this point onward, he was no longer that loveless person.

He needed to fulfill his pursuits, to complete his life’s meaning.

First, break through to the Return to One Realm!

Lu Ye closed his eyes.

At this moment.

Chu Ling was practicing.

Silently, strands of black mist enveloped her.

Chu Ling felt a bit disoriented.

Fragments of memories surged into her mind.

“Ling’er, how can you be so willful?”

“Ling’er, that’s not how you practice the sword!”

“Chu Ling, if you stab the alliance in the back again, don’t blame me for punishing you!”

“Ling’er, you’ve truly disappointed me.”

Reborn, Lu Ye’s indifference kept flashing in her mind, the murderous intent he showed her time and time again.

She had worked so hard to cultivate but couldn’t outpace Shangguan Huanling, and even Yue Hongling and Bai Qiulan had ascended before her.

She had done her best, yet still couldn’t catch up to Lu Ye.

Moreover, that gap kept widening.

Lu Ye was doing it on purpose.

He deliberately made her feel hopeless, making her struggle in endless regret.

Her backstabs; if it weren’t for Lu Ye’s repeated indulgences, how could she have developed such a habit?

As for the matters of the Chu Sword Manor, Lu Ye had kept it to himself; otherwise, how could she not know it was a den of demons?

If he had told her sooner, how could she focus solely on making him the target of the alliance’s disdain?

So, it’s all Lu Ye’s fault!

It’s all Lu Ye’s fault!

The reason he could make her suffer like this was that his strength was formidable enough; if her power were strong enough too, she could also make him regret not being more communicative.

Lovers shouldn’t just indulge each other; isn’t that a basic principle?

If one can’t love, then don’t love!

Since you’ve chosen to love, you should take responsibility to the end; how can it be like this situation? You make someone a useless husk and then just walk away?

Chu Ling wouldn’t allow that!

Absolutely wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen!

In an instant.

The black mist transformed into a sword.

A pitch-black long sword adorned with countless runes hovered before Chu Ling.

Countless sword intents were contained within the long sword.

Chu Ling opened her eyes.

She gazed at this magic sword.

She knew that if she gripped this magic sword, she would descend into a realm of no return.

But wasn’t she already in a no-return condition?

She had had enough of being relentlessly hunted.

She had had enough of being abandoned, no matter how hard she tried, unable to catch up.

She needed to grow stronger!

She had to be stronger than Lu Ye!

She wanted Lu Ye to bow to her, to repent before her!

With resolve, Chu Ling reached out and firmly grasped the hilt of the magic sword.

In an instant, countless black mists surged wildly into Chu Ling’s body, her aura began to skyrocket.

Lu Ye, Lu Ye, it’s all your fault, you made me take this path.

It’s all your doing!

“Ahhh…”

Destined Realm, fifth layer, sixth layer, seventh layer…

Karma Realm, third layer, fourth layer, fifth layer…

The Great Slaughter Sword Canon erupted with full force.

This dark sword was even more terrifying than Chu Ling had imagined, pushing her directly to the Three-Life Realm.

Had it not been for the Three Lifetimes Tribulation blocking her growth, she could have become even stronger.

Chu Ling began to undergo her Three Lifetimes Tribulation.

She would make Lu Ye regret during the Three Lifetimes Tribulation; she would control him, making him her complete slave!

Not only was something special happening here with Chu Ling.

At this moment, black mist also appeared beside Yue Hongling and Bai Qiulan.

Yue Hongling gazed blankly at the black mist.

Why couldn’t Brother be a bit more manly? Why does he always treat her like a little girl?

He always guards her, never allowing her to fight alongside him; if it weren’t for this, how could she be so weak?

“Hahaha, I’m starting again, I’m starting again, heeheehee, I want to be a bad woman, if I become a bad woman, Brother can kill me, I want Brother to kill me.”
