Is he now tangled in an unbelievable, earth-shattering cause and effect?
Just how many reincarnated powerhouses has he encountered in this matter?
Occasionally running into one is manageable, but now he has encountered so many—just how vast is the cause and effect? How deeply entangled? The Devouring Dao Beast shuddered at the thought.
What to do?
What to do?
On this side is the Darkness Origin.
Over there, it seems to be the Celestial Lord’s reincarnation.
Right now, he has chosen to side with the Darkness Origin, but can it truly achieve genuine victory?
Moreover, that Lu Ye undoubtedly possesses means to counter the Darkness Origin; otherwise, why would the Darkness Origin go to such lengths to get him involved?
Can’t it just act itself?
Or just surrender!
But that’s not an option!
It’s already deeply connected to the Darkness Origin.
If it were to surrender now… wait, hold on!
Since Lu Ye has ways to restrain the Darkness Origin, couldn’t it just surrender and follow Lu Ye?
With this thought, the Devouring Dao Beast’s heart raced.
Bai Qiulan noticed all the Devouring Dao Beasts had fallen into contemplation and felt an uneasy jolt in her heart.
Before she could speak, An Li’s ethereal figure appeared.
“Devouring Dao Beast, what, thinking of betraying?”
Hearing An Li’s voice made the Devouring Dao Beast particularly irritable. If it weren’t for this woman, it wouldn’t be entangled in such great cause and effect.
“You don’t even tell me detailed information about the enemy; how can I wholeheartedly help you?” the Devouring Dao Beast complained.
“What good does knowing so much do you? You only need to know we are allies now. I need you to kill a person who’s no more than an ant right now; where are all these questions coming from?” An Li replied.
“But what if I can’t kill them?”
“You, a Quasi-Emperor, can’t kill an ant?”
“But he has already disappeared.”
“He will show up sooner or later; why the rush?”
The Devouring Dao Beast…
Damn it, can’t argue with that!
“If you want to betray, I will immediately strip away the power of the Darkness Origin from you, and then you can just stay here, permanently sealed away. Let’s see who has more lifespan, you or the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens’ law!”
The Devouring Dao Beast…
The thought of betraying wavered again upon mention of the Darkness Origin.
The Darkness Origin is indeed a terrifying thing.
“Alright, it has come to this; I have no other choice.”
The Devouring Dao Beast felt extremely frustrated.
How is it fair that it, a Quasi-Emperor, feels this stifled in front of so many weak beings likened to ants?
It’s driving me crazy!
An Li snorted coldly.
“Just wait; he will definitely reappear, and this time there will be no chance of survival for him.”
After An Li finished speaking, she vanished again.
She was looking into the reason for Lu Ye’s disappearance.
It shouldn’t be like this!
Lu Ye has many means, but she has no impression of such secret techniques.
What exactly caused the disappearance?
After An Li left, the Devouring Dao Beast looked at Bai Qiulan.
“I have a very powerful Soul Stealing Technique; want to give it a try?” the Devouring Dao Beast asked.
“Try? Once I break her seal, she’ll immediately self-detonate. How can we try?”
“Simple, just try it and you’ll know!”
The Devouring Dao Beast’s eyes suddenly turned purple as it stared into Bai Qiulan’s eyes.
Bai Qiulan’s face changed drastically. Even though her eyes also turned purple, she still forced herself to turn away.
The Devouring Dao Beast…
I knew it!
I knew it!
None of these women are normal!
This woman can actually resist its Soul Stealing Technique. Even if it multiplied itself, what realm does Bai Qiulan even have?
If one doesn’t work, then two; if two don’t work, then ten, one hundred, a thousand, ten thousand!
A horde of Devouring Dao Beasts gathered, their eyes turning purple simultaneously, enveloping the space in a rich purple hue. Bai Qiulan was struck by a powerful force of consciousness, her expression becoming dazed.
“Now tell me, who is that Lu Ye?”
The Devouring Dao Beast roared.
Bai Qiulan’s face showed signs of struggle.
She was still resisting.
The Devouring Dao Beast let out a thunderous roar.
The very void was twisted by its rage.
Bai Qiulan’s expression was still one of struggle; her subconscious knew she couldn’t reveal Lu Ye’s true identity to the Devouring Dao Beast. Otherwise, if it learned, it would definitely not dare to provoke Lu Ye.
The Great Emperor, the Celestial Lord, and the Celestial Lords who have successfully crossed tribulations are all on completely different levels of existence.
It’s no exaggeration to say they’re worlds apart.
The Devouring Dao Beast roared repeatedly.
“Tell me, who is Lu Ye?”
Bai Qiulan still didn’t respond, even as the purple hue became astonishingly dense.
The Devouring Dao Beast suddenly felt a twinge of defeat.
This is just too hard!
The purple light vanished.
Bai Qiulan took a deep breath, as if a suffocated person finally found relief!
“Cough, cough, cough… This is fine, this Soul Stealing Technique is usable…”
The Devouring Dao Beast???
It couldn’t help but glance at the frozen Yue Hongling. Goodness, what a big grudge!
“Make sure to keep her under control; don’t let her have any awareness!” Bai Qiulan instructed.
The Devouring Dao Beast had given up trying to heal. Now, it just wanted to see what this group intended to do.
The ice surrounding Yue Hongling gradually melted.
A multitude of Devouring Dao Beasts’ eyes sparkled with purple light, their large eyes unwaveringly fixed on Yue Hongling.
Bai Qiulan’s mood became tense.
Since An Li hasn’t helped her completely resolve the Yin Power, Yue Hongling absolutely cannot die; she is her hope for survival.
Soon, the frost fully melted.
Yue Hongling didn’t waste any words and directly initiated self-detonation.
The Devouring Dao Beast’s heart turned cold again. This woman seems even more terrifying than itself.
Terrifying the beast!
But its technique is indeed formidable. Yue Hongling was indeed shaken to her core, unable to self-detonate.
Tears streamed down her cheeks.
Under the illumination of the purple light, the tears looked exceptionally beautiful yet sorrowful.
But Bai Qiulan was no longer moved by this crocodile’s tears.
She swiftly formed seals; this time, no one would come to help Yue Hongling.
She had to keep Yue Hongling firmly under her control, never to let her go!
Because she is her most esteemed Master!
The Nine Li Soul Stealing Technique began to take shape quickly. With the Devouring Dao Beast’s help, it could succeed.
Yue Hongling’s face revealed a pained expression, and amidst the pain, there was a sense of numb resignation.
Very soon!
It worked!
Yue Hongling fell to her knees, her forehead heavily bowed.
“Master, I’m sorry; I was wrong!”
In that moment, Yue Hongling was weeping uncontrollably, genuinely remorseful.
Bai Qiulan gently sighed, her gaze turned soft.
“How could I blame you, my child? Knowing wrong and changing is the greatest goodness. From now on, don’t stray from my side again, alright?” Bai Qiulan comforted Yue Hongling gently.
Yue Hongling smiled, repeatedly nodding.
“Alright, I won’t leave Master again.”
The Devouring Dao Beast watched this touching scene of master and disciple, its scales bristling in alarm as it hurriedly retreated from Bai Qiulan.
What in the ancestral tomb? It’s terrifying—more terrifying than myself!
Are there truly such astonishingly terrifying women in the world?
