Chapter 522: Dead End

Qin Guanyue’s face changed dramatically.

Oh no!

Is the Nine Lives Celestial Lord targeting their Pleasure Sect?

As one of the leaders of the Pleasure Sect, Qin Guanyue had to keep a close eye on all movements in the Sixth Heaven.

The Nine Lives Celestial Lord had gone on a killing spree in the first five heavens, and now that he was in the Sixth Heaven without anyone provoking him, she’d heard rumors that he was getting desperate.

Which faction in the Sixth Heaven was the wealthiest?

Not those ancient prestigious families, but definitely the Pleasure Sect.

With the Pleasure Sect spread across major cities, the daily profits from each location were staggering.

The Nine Lives Celestial Lord is eyeing the Pleasure Sect, trying to use his ex-wife to set a trap?

Qin Guanyue understood these emotional matters very well.

From Yue Hongling’s memories, she could see that the Nine Lives Celestial Lord had been completely heartbroken by these eight women.

Nothing could be worse than a heart that has given up.

She just didn’t know what was keeping Lu Ye from becoming extremely cold and heartless.

But that wasn’t the main point.

The key was that Lu Ye might have no feelings for his ex-wife, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t use her as a bargaining chip.

If today Shangguan Huanling joined the Pleasure Sect, it was a given that tomorrow, the entire Pleasure Sect in the Sixth Heaven would be uprooted.

All resources would fall into the Nine Lives Celestial Lord’s hands!

They just wanted to run their business peacefully and had no intention of going against such a big killing machine.

“Do you think my aura of a Great Emperor can overshadow her?”

Shangguan Huanling was still quite unconvinced.

Qin Guanyue’s graceful face turned tense, her veins bulging.

“I’m sorry, but our Pleasure Sect really can’t accommodate someone as formidable as you; please look elsewhere. Thank you!”

“Please leave immediately!”

Qin Guanyue made her move, gripping Shangguan Huanling’s shoulder. Shangguan Huanling went completely limp, and Qin Guanyue tossed her out of the Pleasure Sect, sending her flying hundreds of thousands of miles.

Lu Ye shook his head lightly.

Shangguan Huanling was still so naïve and pure.

But the Pleasure Sect was rather timid; even though Shangguan Huanling had forcibly been made a Great Emperor in her past life, without a Dao Fruit, she was still a Great Emperor.

If that angle was played up, countless people would flock to her.

He seemed to understand why the Liuli Fairy was here.

She must be refining her heart in the mortal realm.

Since her birth, she had likely been hailed as pure and pristine, adored by many.

But now, she was a fairy descending into the secular world, and when she realized that the physical body was just a shell, that only the heart and the Dao were true, that would be her moment of soaring to new heights.

This was also a path of cultivation.

It was just…

Somewhat eccentric…

But everyone has their own way of cultivation; even fairies have theirs.

Lu Ye’s body gently trembled.

His realm broke through another layer.

At that moment, another scene appeared.

It was a view of the Vermilion Bird and Sun Ruowei. At this moment, the Vermilion Bird was trying to figure out how to refine the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

Refining the Ten Thousand Souls Banner wasn’t too difficult to grasp, but the current Nine Heavens was no longer suitable for its growth.

Fortunately, the Vermilion Bird wasn’t looking to let the Ten Thousand Souls Banner grow; her goal was simply to trap Shangguan Huanling within it.

Shangguan Huanling was really dealing with a heavy blow this time.

Her looks seemed to really be lacking.

What to do?

What should she do?

Cultivating was so tiring, so exhausting.

Way too hard, incredibly hard!

If this Pleasure Sect won’t have her, she’d try another one.

This time, she would conceal her identity as the reborn Great Emperor. Even if she didn’t become a top courtesan, she’d accept it.

So, she headed to the next city.

But soon, she was thrown out again.

This time, the leader was not as gentle as Qin Guanyue. Because Shangguan Huanling’s actions endangered the entire Pleasure Sect, she was violently smashed onto a mountain, shattering it to pieces.

Shangguan Huanling spat out blood, disheveled.

Why?

Why is this happening?

Shangguan Huanling was really furious.

Was she going to have to follow Chu Ling and throw herself into the Darkness Origin before Lu Ye would want to kill her?

Now, the plan to frame Lu Ye was already impossible.

Then she’d just go to the Darkness Origin.

“Darkness Origin, I know you’re everywhere. Come out now, I’m willing to join you. I’m willing to help you deal with Lu Ye; I know his weaknesses!”

Does Shangguan Huanling know Lu Ye’s weaknesses?

She knows absolutely nothing.

She was just saying it for the sake of it.

Lu Ye, Shen Xitang, and the Little Heavenly Dao all looked towards Dark Yaner.

Dark Yaner’s expression was grave.

After going in a huge circle, Shangguan Huanling was actually coming for her.

“Go on!”

Shen Xitang said enthusiastically.

Dark Yaner’s expression grew more serious.

“To be honest…”

“To be honest what?” Lu Ye asked curiously.

“To be honest, I’ve tempted Shangguan Huanling more than once, but it’s always failed… and every time I tried, I felt like I got dumber, even dumber each time.”

Shen Xitang suddenly understood.

“I thought so! After our last battle, I was dazed for half a day, only thinking about how to defeat her!” Shen Xitang said.

“Right? As long as we get close to her, we become fools.” Dark Yaner said, shivering.

They hadn’t been near Shangguan Huanling for quite a while, and she could feel her IQ skyrocketing.

This exhilarating boost in intellect was simply delightful.

“So now you go!” Shen Xitang urged.

Dark Yaner?????

“Aren’t you going to listen to me?” Shen Xitang asked with an unsavory tone.

Dark Yaner?????

She looked to Lu Ye for help.

She really didn’t want to go.

Lu Ye was unfazed, observing silently.

“Can I refuse?” Dark Yaner asked, feeling desperate.

“Go, I want to explore what makes Shangguan Huanling such a mind-bender.” Lu Ye said with a smile.

Dark Yaner…

She was genuinely scared.

But since Lu Ye spoke, she was willing to sacrifice herself for the greater good.

Dark Yaner disappeared.

Quickly, dark mist swirled around Shangguan Huanling.

“You know Lu Ye’s weaknesses?” The icy voice of the Darkness Origin echoed.

The Darkness Origin actually appeared?

Shangguan Huanling was a bit surprised.

“If you control me, and we merge as one, then I’ll tell you!” Shangguan Huanling hurriedly said.

The Darkness Origin scoffed.

“Do you think I’m a fool? You just want me to merge with your body so you can go find Lu Ye to deal with me, right?” The Darkness Origin retorted.

Shangguan Huanling…

The Darkness Origin was so clever!

At that moment, the Vermilion Bird had successfully gathered some evildoers to refine the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and was on her way back.

ps: Just a thousand words to go, I’ll catch up tomorrow. The reason the group disbanded is that I was worried about incidents; if anyone has questions, just tag me directly. Love you all, mwah!
