Chapter 249: The Changed Bai Qiulan (Part Three)

Thirty miles away, the figure came to a halt.

A stone sword appeared in Lu Ye’s hand.

“Husband!”

The newcomer was Bai Qiulan.

She glanced at Lu Ye, her eyes already misty, filled with deep emotion and guilt, mixed with a hint of grievance.

Lu Ye scrutinized her carefully, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

It seemed Bai Qiulan wasn’t much different, and her strength didn’t appear particularly strong either.

“Call me by my name!”

Lu Ye corrected Bai Qiulan’s address.

“Husband…”

In an instant, a sword light shot out.

Bai Qiulan was taken aback, as a series of Yin Shields appeared in front of her, but they shattered wildly under that sword light.

They weren’t even on the same level.

“Pfft!”

Half of Bai Qiulan’s body exploded.

Lu Ye raised an ever-so-slight furrow of his brow; Bai Qiulan was still this useless.

Had he not held back, this sword would have been enough to kill Bai Qiulan on the spot.

“Lu Ye…”

Only then did Lu Ye nod with satisfaction; just hearing the word husband made his head hurt.

“What do you want from me?” Lu Ye asked.

“I beg you to save Hongling. She has realized her mistake, she’s gone crazy now! If you save her, I promise she will never disturb you again! Right now, she’s been screaming and trying to find you every day. Please, save her!”

Bai Qiulan’s voice was pitiful.

“I’ve already said, you are no longer connected to me. Even if she’s gone mad, it’s not because of me, and I have no responsibility to save her.”

“In my previous life, you taught me a lesson: mind your own business. Now I truly understand that lesson,” Lu Ye said solemnly.

“But Yue Hongling spent a lifetime with you; she genuinely loved you. Even if there’s a sliver of affection left in you…”

As she spoke, Bai Qiulan suddenly paused.

Unintentionally, she began to blame Lu Ye again.

“I’m sorry, I should have asked you as a Master. Please, save my disciple. If you don’t save her, that’s not your fault.”

The part of Bai Qiulan’s body that had been blown apart was now sealed by Yin Power. She bent her knee, surprisingly kneeling on the ground, bowing her head to Lu Ye.

Lu Ye frowned slightly and dodged aside.

“System, is there something wrong with her?” Lu Ye asked internally.

“Ding! No abnormalities detected.”

“So, does that mean Bai Qiulan is starting to change herself?”

“Ding! Based solely on her performance this time, she genuinely has changed.”

Lu Ye suddenly took a step forward.

The Aroma of Achievement in Dao immediately enveloped Bai Qiulan. Her eyes began to struggle wildly, her blood-red gaze fixed on Lu Ye.

She had the Great Emperor’s Dao Heart, and at the very edge of the Aroma, she could barely control herself.

But Lu Ye took another step forward.

Bai Qiulan let out a furious roar, charging swiftly towards Lu Ye.

Lu Ye didn’t retreat.

Once she got close, True Essence turned into ropes, completely binding and locking Bai Qiulan’s body.

Lu Ye looked at Bai Qiulan, now entangled by the True Essence Rope…

Damn it, it was all thanks to those little rascals, putting on all sorts of crazy shows every day, making him act without thinking and tie up Bai Qiulan like this.

Bai Qiulan tried desperately to get closer to Lu Ye.

But she couldn’t succeed. Lu Ye reached out, touching Bai Qiulan’s body, where True Essence surged wildly, inch by inch examining her.

No abnormalities.

Not a single anomaly.

So, Bai Qiulan really came just to plead for Yi Hongling’s sake?

Had she truly changed?

Of course not; Lu Ye didn’t believe it at all.

Under the temptation of the Aroma of Achievement in Dao, Bai Qiulan showed no signs of abnormality.

Under the system’s observation, Bai Qiulan showed no signs of abnormality.

Under his personal inspection, Bai Qiulan once again showed no signs of abnormality.

Everything seemed normal; Lu Ye would only suspect himself of lacking skill, not believe that Bai Qiulan had turned over a new leaf.

A secret glow appeared in his hand, lightly tapping Bai Qiulan, then his figure vanished.

The True Essence Rope automatically broke apart.

Their distance quickly stretched to thirty miles apart.

Bai Qiulan chased after Lu Ye, but Lu Ye was much faster, waiting for Bai Qiulan to regain her senses.

At that moment, a group of strong presences quickly rushed towards them.

This bunch of strong beings arrived and immediately saw such a scene.

A woman from the Destined Realm was chasing Lu Ye…

Huh?

No way, right?

Upon a second look, the formation of the Three Valleys Abyss was truly broken.

It was really broken!

A wave of joy surged in the hearts of the powerful beings.

Lu Ye’s strength had never been showcased before. He was invincible in the Third Heaven, relying solely on his ability to stir chaos and lead to the destruction of the Three Valleys Abyss.

But now, the Three Valleys Abyss was gone…

So what were they afraid of now?

Let’s not even talk about whether Lu Ye was truly the reincarnation of a powerful being; just the factions that bore a grudge against Lu Ye wouldn’t miss this opportunity.

Sure, Lu Ye hadn’t attacked them yet.

That was because Lu Ye’s strength was currently weak, or he hadn’t had enough leisure to deal with them.

But what if Lu Ye became stronger?

They couldn’t just sit idly by, betting their lives on Lu Ye’s attitude toward them.

“Kill!”

The figure from the Return to One Realm transformed into a terrifying light, piercing through the heavens and earth as it surged towards Lu Ye.

The Three-Life Realm erupted with immeasurable divine light, launching a range attack.

Even the Cause Realm released threads of cause, attempting to entangle Lu Ye with fate and weaken his strength.

Bai Qiulan’s blood-red eyes revealed signs of struggle.

Speaking of which, Bai Qiulan, compared to the others, was more like a Great Emperor.

Because in the last life, the most Lu Ye could do for her was to continuously help her resolve the Chaos Yin Poison. If she could conquer that one toughest challenge, she would be free to cultivate as she pleased.

She could freely unleash the Chaos Yin Power.

So she quickly regained her clarity.

Bai Qiulan watched so many people pursuing Lu Ye and let out a loud shout, an aura of horror sweeping through.

The speed of a large number of people was slowed down.

Was she actually still helping Lu Ye?

Uh, that seemed pretty normal. Even in her rebirth, Bai Qiulan was clearly much stronger than Lu Ye. She was at the Void Refinement stage while Lu Ye was still at the Gathering Qi stage back then.

She was quite a peculiar person.

Even when she poisoned Lu Ye using the Yin-Yang Devouring Path Gu or sent a Taiyin Bone Bug upon him, she never considered herself his enemy.

This was also why Lu Ye, upon his rebirth, hadn’t immediately left the Grand Dao Sect.

First, because the Grand Dao Sect wasn’t a Demon Sect; they wouldn’t allow wanton slaughter of their disciples. Not to mention the Grand Dao Sect, even the Demon Sect wouldn’t permit such behavior.

Didn’t you see the Heavenly Demon Emperor wanting to massacre the Demon Clan with the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, only to be stopped by the Earth Demon Emperor?

The second reason was Bai Qiulan’s character.

Bai Qiulan’s character was such that she never viewed herself as a bad person.

She believed herself to be good.

She wouldn’t do such bad things.

Even when it came to poisoning, in Bai Qiulan’s eyes, it was merely a means of restoring order!

However, with her weakened strength, facing strong opponents, she could only slightly reduce their speed.

No one paid Bai Qiulan any mind, all rushing towards Lu Ye.

Lu Ye paused, and the slaughter began!
