Chapter 323: Unexpected Encounter

It was almost the moment the **Feminine Extreme Yin Sutra** began to operate.

The terrifying **Chaos Yin Poison** seemed to find an opening and surged towards **Yue Hongling** recklessly and without hesitation.

Naturally, **Yue Hongling** wouldn’t let it slide and immediately activated the **Nine Li Soul Stealing Technique**.

Her hands left **Bai Qiulan**’s back.

Just a moment of the injected **Chaos Yin Poison** brought intense suffering to **Yue Hongling**.

Her eyes were filled with coldness.

“You really won’t learn your lesson; just keep suffering!”

“No, Hongling, I wasn’t conscious before! I promise this time I’ll be different; you have to believe me!”

**Yue Hongling** withdrew her figure.

“Do you think I’d still believe you? This time you’ll just have to bear it yourself; I won’t help you again!”

**Bai Qiulan** kept insisting she wasn’t conscious.

**Yue Hongling** truly didn’t buy that; she just wanted to see if **Bai Qiulan** truly had no awareness.

This hypocritical facade, she was determined to tear it away completely.

**Bai Qiulan** was too weak to speak anymore.

“See? It’s better to rely on yourself than others. If you’re willing to help me, I can completely free you from the torment of the **Chaos Yin Poison**; otherwise, you’ll be forever at the mercy of others!”

**Bai Qiulan** didn’t reply; she had fallen into complete agony.

Time slowly passed.

**Bai Qiulan** endured yet again.

She took a breath, feeling as though she had escaped death.

“Hongling, I’m sorry. At that time, I was consumed by pain, like someone drowning clutching at a thread of hope without any control; that wasn’t me!” **Bai Qiulan’s** voice was weak.

**Yue Hongling** nodded.

“It’s okay, as long as you don’t recklessly pour that **Chaos Yin Poison** into me, I can leave immediately; the pain isn’t mine.”

**Bai Qiulan**’s lips trembled.

“Next time, I mean next time, can you activate the **Feminine Extreme Yin Sutra** at the very beginning? I would still have awareness then and could slowly guide it into you.”

**Yue Hongling** snorted coldly.

“No way!”

**Bai Qiulan**…

She was really about to lose it!

**Yue Hongling**, you truly show no shred of disciple-teacher friendship.

If it really comes to a dead end, she would definitely…

Letting out a gentle breath, **Bai Qiulan** closed her eyes to meditate.

Meanwhile.

**Daoist Shouren** was battling fiercely; if the opponent didn’t pay up, no matter who it was, they would definitely have a fight.

To be honest, in one-on-one combat, there were indeed very few who could match up to **Daoist Shouren**.

Even people from sects didn’t faze him at all.

Because he had **Lu Ye**.

The news of **Lu Ye** spending time with **Daoist Shouren** spread like wildfire.

People couldn’t understand how **Lu Ye**, a perfect nice guy, would be with **Daoist Shouren**, an absolute bully.

However, after discovering **Lu Ye** and **Daoist Shouren** together, they could accept the changes in **Daoist Shouren**.

As the saying goes, you are who you hang around with.

“Brother **Lu Ye**!”

The three were walking down the street, and for once, **Daoist Shouren** was incredibly wealthy; he had never been this rich in his life.

So just now, he waved his hand.

Time for a feast!

But then a surprised shout made **Lu Ye**’s expression change instantly.

A figure zipped through the crowd with a radiant smile, running toward **Lu Ye**.

The **Emperor’s Banner**, which was originally floating leisurely, suddenly fused into **Lu Ye**’s body.

**Lin Chuyue** and **Daoist Shouren** were stunned; **Lu Ye**, who was usually calm and collected, was visibly changed by the arrival.

It was definitely a strong person!

An absolute powerhouse.

And the voice was so sweet, so cheerful, just like a carefree little girl. Was there such a strong person in the **Fourth Heaven**?

The most crucial part was.

**Lu Ye** was currently in disguise.

How did she know he was here?

Just thinking about it, **Lin Chuyue** and **Daoist Shouren** couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

**Shangguan Huanling** was as usual, running towards **Lu Ye**, arms wide open, as if she was about to give him a loving hug at any moment.

**Lu Ye** squinted his eyes, gripping his **Stone Sword** tightly.

**Shangguan Huanling** came to a halt abruptly.

“Last time you used your fist; why are you using a sword this time?” **Shangguan Huanling** was puzzled; she had been on her best behavior lately and hadn’t done anything to annoy **Lu Ye** at all.

Why had her treatment been upgraded?

“What do you want?”

**Lu Ye** coldly asked.

“Nothing, in this vast **Fourth Heaven**, it’s such a coincidence we both showed up here; isn’t that fate? Can you please put the sword down?”

“No!”

“Hey, **Stone Sword**, you went back and forth, remember I wiped your blood, would you dare to attack me?” **Shangguan Huanling** addressed the **Stone Sword**.

The **Stone Sword** was shocked.

What the heck? Besides its owner, how does this woman know I need to have my blood wiped off?

Oh no, I’m going to be outed.

Sobbing, no face to cut someone anymore.

**Lu Ye** looked at the slightly trembling **Stone Sword**, feeling a bit of a headache.

To be honest, since his rebirth, **Shangguan Huanling** hadn’t really harassed him, yet he simply couldn’t understand how she managed to pick up the **Emotion Dao** again.

And she was getting more powerful.

**Lu Ye** put away the **Stone Sword**; now that people knew it had to be wiped clean after cutting someone, it was a temporary social death, and who knows how long it would take to recover from this.

“I’ve already said it; just focus on your cultivation; you don’t need to look for me.” **Lu Ye** sighed.

“I didn’t come looking for you, but it was a coincidence. What can I do?” **Shangguan Huanling** pretended to be nonchalant as she edged closer to **Lu Ye**.

“How far did you run?” **Lu Ye** asked.

“Not that far, I don’t remember…”

“Hmm?”

“Alright, maybe over eighty thousand miles.”

“Eighty thousand miles doesn’t count as a coincidence?” **Lu Ye** raised his voice.

“Can’t it? My **Emotion Dao** reacted, which means Brother **Lu Ye** must be nearby!”

**Lu Ye**…

If your **Emotion Dao** reaches a peak, can’t you feel someone’s presence in all of **Nine Heavens**, so wouldn’t that mean they’re all nearby no matter where?

**Shangguan Huanling** continued to inch closer.

The distance between them was now just thirty meters, and **Shangguan Huanling**’s heart raced uncontrollably.

Hahaha, new distance!

She couldn’t hold back and let out a silly laugh, even giggling out loud.

**Lu Ye** also couldn’t resist and threw out a punch.

“Boom!”

**Shangguan Huanling** was sent flying out of the city.

“Get lost!”

“Oh, I’m leaving! Brother **Lu Ye**, I look forward to our next encounter!”

Even after being punched again, **Shangguan Huanling** wasn’t mad at all; she felt delightfully happy.

After all, last time she got within fifty meters, and this time it was thirty meters.

What about next time?

It could be ten meters!

What about the next after that?

One meter!

And then after that…

Negative (whatever) centimeters?

After sending **Shangguan Huanling** away, **Lu Ye** felt two scorching gazes locking onto him.

He looked back.

**Lin Chuyue** and **Daoist Shouren** wore expressions of pure excitement.

“Lu Ye, who is that?”
