Chapter 557: I Want to Infuriate Lu Ye

This scene was so terrifying that it made one feel an involuntary sense of suffocation.

The apocalypse had arrived.

Although the other party couldn’t break through the barrier, fear still seeped deep from within.

One Dark Clan member knelt down, worshiping towards the statue.

As if triggered by a chain reaction, a multitude of Dark Clan individuals began to worship the statue as well.

Lu Ye waited until the Quasi-Emperors had done enough fighting, also roughly understanding the strength and characteristics of this group.

When he got back, he would set individual cultivation goals for them.

For these Quasi-Emperors, those weak in strength would enhance their power, those lacking in attack would improve their offenses, and those with poor defenses would bolster their defenses.

Whatever was weak, enhance that.

Of course, the resources needed for this enhancement would have to be acquired by these Quasi-Emperors themselves.

Soon enough,

An Li’s counterattack arrived.

She found the Darkness Origin.

“What’s up? Are we starting?” The Darkness Origin’s voice held a hint of excitement.

“Yeah, it’s time!”

“I need you to do something!”

The Darkness Origin was a bit curious.

“What is it?”

“Just like how you helped Bai Qiulan back then, I want my words to be reflected in the Nine Heavens!”

The Darkness Origin frowned in a place invisible to An Li.

It turned out that being adversarial to Lu Ye made it enjoy seeing him being bullied and exposed.

However, now, Lu Ye was its closest partner.

In this situation, how could it possibly harm Lu Ye?

“So what do you want?” asked the Darkness Origin.

An Li?

She looked at the black mist in front of her, feeling slightly hesitant.

What was going on? Shouldn’t the Darkness Origin be overly excited about such a request?

What’s with this attitude now?

What’s happened to the Darkness Origin?

“Stop looking at me like that, it’s annoying!” The Darkness Origin said vigorously, showing no hint of guilt.

“Last time, it was that Bai Qiulan, talking about reflecting in the Nine Heavens; what happened? It ended up killing herself.”

“I, the Darkness Origin, became a laughingstock in the Nine Heavens, and now you want to reflect in the Nine Heavens again? Just hearing that makes my head ache.” The Darkness Origin couldn’t help but feel angry about bringing this up.

An Li…

“Am I an idiot like Bai Qiulan?”

“How would I know?”

In reality, the Darkness Origin had already started contacting Lu Ye quickly.

“So now, with this reflecting in the Nine Heavens business, I need to know ahead of time what you’re planning. I don’t want to fall into the same pit twice!”

An Li felt something was off.

Why was the Darkness Origin being so controlling?

But never mind, she’d talk to it about it.

“This time, reflecting in the Nine Heavens, I just want to infuriate Lu Ye; otherwise, how could I make him take the bait so easily?”

“I know Lu Ye’s weakness, and I will make it abundantly clear to everyone, and when that happens, he’ll definitely be furious, and then he’ll come and try to kill me!”

The Darkness Origin wasted no time, reporting An Li’s words truthfully, almost like live-streaming to Lu Ye.

Upon hearing this,

Lu Ye thought,

My weakness?

He really wasn’t clear about what his weaknesses were.

But considering the long-term undercover work of the Darkness Origin, Lu Ye pondered for a bit.

“Agree with her!”

In his past life, Lu Ye admitted he was quite the fool.

So what if he got scolded?

It would only build his anger meter, and the higher the anger meter, the stronger his killing intent would become.

“So I’m really reflecting in the Nine Heavens?”

“If that woman really says something particularly outrageous, Nine Lives, just feel free to tell me; I can directly kill An Li!”

Lu Ye chuckled.

“For now, it should be impossible to kill her. Unless something unusual happens, the Life Replacement Bug should be on her, and her revival point is in the Dark Clan. Killing her now would expose you, which would be counterproductive.”

Lu Ye was clear about this matter.

If it weren’t for the Life Replacement Bug, with the Darkness Origin monitoring An Li’s movements in real time, he would have already gone over to kill her.

Killing An Li now would only tip off the snake.

Moreover, Lu Ye had thought of a good idea that required the Darkness Origin to hide its position.

The Darkness Origin’s position must not be exposed.

Taking An Li’s life was simple but complicated, depending on how you look at it.

An Li wasn’t the main focus; the Dark Clan and the gods of the Dark Clan were.

“Let’s start reflecting in the Nine Heavens; I want to see what exactly she’ll say about my weaknesses!”

“Alright!”

“I advise her not to seek death!”

A beam of black light appeared between Heaven and Earth.

At this moment, within the Nine Heavens, layers upon layers of the sky illuminated with images.

This scene left countless beings in the Nine Heavens dumbfounded.

Huh?

What’s this?

This scene?

Hiss, so familiar!

Many people’s bodies began to tremble slightly as they looked up at the massive shadow appearing overhead.

The Great Sage of the Nine Heavens’ phantom solidified immediately.

However, he didn’t make a move because the Darkness Origin’s method of reflecting in the Nine Heavens was merely summoning the distributed powers of the Nine Heavens to form a giant light curtain, projecting a scene from one spot.

It wasn’t anything beyond their understanding.

Yet, the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens still showed up.

Not for any other reason, but purely to keep an eye on the Darkness Origin, ensuring nothing illegal occurred.

Mmm, just sticking to the principle of being responsible!

At this moment, countless beings in the Nine Heavens looked up, knowing full well that

Time to enjoy the show was about to begin!

Good!

Not just any show, but a show involving the Celestial Lord.

What is human nature? It’s to watch the fun.

Even the most impressive person would pause to watch if they saw a group of people arguing or fighting, as long as it was safe.

After the last reflecting in the Nine Heavens, many people missed out on the happenings due to various reasons, and later, hearing others talk about it made them sincerely regretful, even thinking they were out of touch with the times.

Since that incident, many people have warned those around them that if such a thing happened again, they had to remind themselves.

No matter what they were doing, they needed to take a moment to remind themselves.

Other things could wait.

But enjoying the spectacle, if you missed it, might just be fleeting.

Therefore, this time, the number of spectators was much more than in this lifetime.

Sixth Heaven.

The Vermilion Bird and others also opened their eyes.

Looking towards the light curtain in the sky.

Yue Hongling gazed at the curtain, her eyes revealing a touch of sorrow as she thought back to past events.

Even though Bai Qiulan had turned into a vile person in her later years, the kindness shown to her was genuine.

Even now, recalling the way things had ended left Yue Hongling’s heart aching.

Shangguan Huanling emerged from the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, looking at the light curtain with curiosity.

“Vermilion Bird, will we be able to see Brother Lu Ye in the light curtain this time? It’s been so long since I last saw him; I miss him so much,” Shangguan Huanling asked.

“I don’t know, but we’ll find out soon.”
