Chapter 236: After Breaking the Demon Barrier…

“Senior Brother, please don’t treat me like this, I’m scared!”

Yue Hongling’s voice trembled with panic.

It seemed she had really angered her Senior Brother, but she couldn’t be blamed for that—she simply had feelings for a demon and never said she didn’t like Lu Ye.

The kind of affection she felt for Feng Wuxie was entirely different from that for Lu Ye.

When facing Feng Wuxie, she fought side by side with a racing heart.

With Lu Ye, she felt a tranquil and liberating peace.

“Hongling, you’ve grown up. Your decisions are yours to make; I can’t interfere. So whether you go or not isn’t up to me but to you.”

At that moment, Lu Ye had plenty to say because he hadn’t reached an especially powerful realm; he was still just at the Breaking Embryo Realm.

“Senior Brother, you have to come with me!”

Lu Ye shook his head.

“I’m not going!”

“What if I really get caught by the Demon Clan?”

“I’ll avenge you!”

Yue Hongling…

“Fine, I’ll let you avenge me!”

In a flash, Yue Hongling bolted out toward the Silent Forest.

Lu Ye felt a bit helpless; he knew Yue Hongling might fall this time.

But what could he do?

He had already guessed that this was a trap set for him and had advised Yue Hongling not to go, but she was determined.

He couldn’t possibly knock her out, could he?

If he did knock her unconscious, she might hate him when she woke up.

So, it just had to be this way.

Inside, he felt quite distressed. Yue Hongling had been calling him Senior Brother non-stop for such a long time, playfully cute, and he couldn’t deny he was very moved.

If he were to become a Dao Companion with Yue Hongling, it would indeed be a beautiful thing.

Sadly, she was already interested in someone else.

Taking away someone else’s love was simply not Lu Ye’s style.

Yue Hongling’s figure flew through the void, continuously looking back to see if Lu Ye was following.

Clearly, Lu Ye was showing no intention of chasing her.

“Why is Senior Brother like this?”

Yue Hongling was furious.

She was clearly her Senior Brother’s most beloved junior sister; she found her heartthrob, and Senior Brother should be more protective like a guardian.

And yet now, when it mattered, he just didn’t care?

Her mind was racing, replaying Lu Ye’s words.

Could it really be a trap?

No, it couldn’t be!

Senior Brother was just jealous, jealous of Feng Wuxie. Though Senior Brother was great, she just didn’t feel the same racing heart when battling alongside him as she did with Feng Wuxie.

If she hadn’t met Feng Wuxie, being with her Senior Brother should have made her happy too.

Before long, the Silent Forest came into view.

Amidst swirling fog, the forest was eerily quiet.

Yue Hongling hesitated at the forest’s edge, pulling out the Treasure Conch, “Where are you?”

“Hongling, Hongling, I’m in the Silent Forest, I’ve been injured and can’t move, hurry and save me.”

Feng Wuxie’s weak voice echoed from the Treasure Conch.

“Are there any other demons around?”

“Just demons! They’re chasing me; how could there be others? Hongling, I’ve lost a lot of blood, quickly come save me!”

“Okay, I’m coming!”

Yue Hongling immediately dashed into the Silent Forest.

She started searching for Feng Wuxie’s trace.

Before long, she found him.

Feng Wuxie indeed had lost a lot of blood, but beside him stood a demon,

This demon, half-dragon in form.

Just a glance sent a chilling aura through her.

It was the Little Dragon King!

Yue Hongling’s pupils suddenly contracted.

The Little Dragon King looked at Yue Hongling and slowly spoke, “Just you? Where’s your Senior Brother?”

Yue Hongling didn’t answer and retreated in a panic.

But before she could take three steps back, a gust of wind rushed from behind her.

“Bang!”

Yue Hongling’s body was hurled toward the Little Dragon King.

The Little Dragon King’s eyes were filled with disdain, thinking it was typical of a love-struck girl.

In an instant, his figure vanished.

“Boom!”

Yue Hongling crashed violently to the ground, creating a massive pit.

Blood spewed from her mouth as she fell into a seriously injured state.

Feng Wuxie wore a flattering smile, “Little Dragon King, I told you Yue Hongling would come. This silly woman, if she shows up, would you let me go?”

“Bang!”

Feng Wuxie’s head exploded.

“Collect the blood and send it to the Ten Thousand Spirits Demon Emperor.”

“Got it!”

Yue Hongling lay on the ground, blood continuously flowing from her mouth, clearly in a state of near death from the blow.

“Senior Brother… Senior Brother…”

“Hit too hard, someone help. I couldn’t resist hitting hard when I saw such a stupid girl.”

Unlike before, the Little Dragon King held Yue Hongling in contempt now.

To him, Yue Hongling was of no concern whatsoever.

Weak, foolish, and love-struck.

“Contact Lu Ye. Let him come alone to save his dear junior sister. If he doesn’t come every day, chop off a limb and toss it to the Human Clan!”

“If he doesn’t come in five days, we’ll send Yue Hongling’s head.”

Quickly, the Human Clan received the news.

“Lu Dao Companion, go save her!” Li Wubai gripped his sword tightly.

“Right, using a woman as a hostage? These demon bastards! I’ll smash their heads!” Feng Longxiang roared loudly.

Everyone chimed in, one after another.

But Lu Ye’s expression turned furious!

“Everyone, it’s not that I’m heartless; the demons have definitely set a trap and are just waiting for our people to walk into it. I warned Yue Hongling before she left, but she insisted on going.”

“I cannot trade the lives of you all for the life of my junior sister, Yue Hongling!”

“So, no more talk about rescue. What we must do now is turn our anger into power. We will repay this humiliation and the death of Yue Hongling to the Demon Clan a thousand or ten thousand times over!”

Everyone fell silent.

“I still think we should charge!” Yin Qingcheng spoke up.

Yes, it was Yin Qingcheng. Through the power of the Three Lifetimes Stone, she had entered Lu Ye’s Three Lifetimes Tribulation again.

She knew Lu Ye must be itching to save Yue Hongling now.

So if she insisted on saving her, Lu Ye would surely be grateful.

“Not charging! My junior sister’s life is just as valuable as yours. If we charge in, who knows how many will die? We absolutely cannot charge!”

The first day ended.

One of Yue Hongling’s arms was sent over.

Lu Ye wept bitterly, vowing to take vengeance on the Demon Clan, yet he still wouldn’t let anyone go to save her.

The second day ended.

One of Yue Hongling’s legs was sent over.

Lu Ye was in agony, swearing he would make the Demon Clan pay in blood.

The third day ended.

Yue Hongling’s other arm was returned.

Lu Ye pounded the ground with his head and fists, utterly heartbroken.

“I’ll go bring Yue Hongling back for you!”

Yin Qingcheng felt it was time and immediately spoke to Lu Ye.

Now at the Nascent Soul Realm, her Great Emperor experiences and skills made saving a Yue Hongling easy.

“No, you can’t go!”

“Lu Ye, I’m Yin Qingcheng. Remember, I won’t let you be sad!”

With those words, Yin Qingcheng vanished!

Lu Ye…
