Chapter 325: Ripping Off the Disguise

When the hypocritical mask was completely torn apart.

Is Bai Qiulan still Bai Qiulan?

She wasn’t just hypocritical for a year or two, nor was it ten or twenty years; she had been hypocritical her entire life.

And now, Yue Hongling had fully exposed her hypocrisy.

Little did she know what kind of terrifying scene was about to unfold after being revealed.

Bai Qiulan’s expression was icy—colder than it had ever been, not once before had it been this cold.

Lu Ye, who was in seclusion, was forcefully awakened by Shen Xitang.

“Ding ding ding, host, this is a show to watch!”

Behind a layer of heaven, Shen Xitang couldn’t project, but now that Bai Qiulan and Yue Hongling were both in the Fourth Heaven, she was ready for the spectacle. The Heavenly Dao couldn’t stop it; that was what Shen Xitang said!

At first, when Yue Hongling was teaching Bai Qiulan, Shen Xitang watched it all with delight alongside the Heavenly Dao.

Now that Bai Qiulan had turned into this, it was essential to bring the host in for a front-row seat.

In cultivation, it didn’t matter if you were early or late, but to eat melon seeds—if you’re even a second late, you might miss out!

Lu Ye shook his head helplessly and looked at the light screen.

Within the screen, Bai Qiulan’s expression astonished Lu Ye.

What a cold face.

The gentle and elegant Bai Qiulan he had known all her life suddenly had such a side to her; it really opened his eyes.

“Treachery against master and ancestors, must be killed!”

When Bai Qiulan uttered these words, Yue Hongling’s complexion changed drastically as she hurriedly activated the Nine Li Soul Stealing Technique.

“Kneel!”

Yue Hongling shouted.

However, her command fell flat.

Bai Qiulan showed no response.

“How could I have such a disciple who wants their master to kneel!”

Bai Qiulan formed seals with her hands, and instantaneously, the temperature in the world plummeted, with the thick Chaos Yin Power turning into a flood, rushing wildly toward Yue Hongling.

Yue Hongling roared in fury.

“Dao Suppression Seal!”

But at this moment, how could Yue Hongling possibly contend with Bai Qiulan?

Every time Bai Qiulan’s Chaos Yin Poison erupted, it represented a massive leap in her power, whereas Yue Hongling was a chaotic mess, battered and bruised, still struggling against the Chaos Yin Poison that had not yet been fully refined.

White mist surged toward Yue Hongling like a tidal wave.

Determined emotions flickered in Yue Hongling’s eyes, and with the shattering of the Dao Suppression Seal, she resolutely initiated self-detonation.

Yet, just then, a black gleam flashed in her eyes, and for a moment that should have been her immediate self-detonation, Yue Hongling seemed entranced.

In that instant, the Chaos Yin Power completely froze her.

“Ding, the power of Darkness Origin detected!”

Shen Xitang spoke up.

Lu Ye shook his head gently. What had turned these two once-good people into such a disgraceful sight?

Stubborn and unyielding!

Now they were even entangled with the Darkness Origin.

In her past life, they had been great emperors, and Lu Ye didn’t believe Bai Qiulan didn’t know what the Darkness Origin was.

However, since she had embraced the Darkness Origin, it meant one thing—she could be killed!

Treachery against master and ancestors!

Once he killed Bai Qiulan, that would be true treachery against master and ancestors!

At that moment, Bai Qiulan seemed to sense something; whether it was her intuition or a reminder from An Li, she unexpectedly glanced towards Lu Ye and Shen Xitang through the light screen.

Then, taking the frozen Yue Hongling, she vanished in an instant.

Lu Ye rose to his feet and disappeared as well.

Chu Ling couldn’t escape from Lu Ye’s grasp, and there was no way Bai Qiulan would escape under the current circumstances.

But it was obvious, an accident was coming.

The causal line between Bai Qiulan and him was precisely locking onto her position.

The Darkness Origin did not make a move.

If the Darkness Origin acted, Shen Xitang wouldn’t hesitate to strike.

If they teamed up with the Little Heavenly Dao, it was even possible to instantly eliminate Bai Qiulan from a distance.

Bai Qiulan wasn’t foolish like Shangguan Huanling.

Her current actions undoubtedly indicated she was prepared to face Lu Ye.

Tears welled up in Bai Qiulan’s eyes; despite her cold demeanor, taking this step was immensely painful for her.

Why? Why had it come to this?

If only she had told Lu Ye about the betrayal back when she first discovered it, would things have turned tragic in her past life?

If it never happened, even if she had disclosed it to Lu Ye, given his temperament and his commitment to guarding the Great Dao, he would’ve forgiven them eventually.

There wouldn’t have been an Eternal Great Tribulation.

By then, Lu Ye would be a Saint, and they would be great emperors, even Celestial Lords.

With Lu Ye’s incredible abilities, he could’ve pulled them up to the status of saints.

But she hadn’t told Lu Ye and had even poisoned him alongside them.

Why had she been blinded by ignorance?

Now, regret was too late; everything was too late.

The moment she turned to the Darkness Origin, she completely lost the right to be forgiven by Lu Ye.

Just like An Li said, in her previous life, who knew how many lives Lu Ye had lost; in this life, Lu Ye wouldn’t fall.

So, she would continue the ideas from her last life.

Let Lu Ye be left with only that last life and keep him by her side.

At that time, whether Lu Ye forgave her would seem inconsequential.

Because by then, he would have to forgive her, whether he wanted to or not!

Bai Qiulan transformed into a streak of light and fled into the distance.

Lu Ye paid attention to the direction in which Bai Qiulan was escaping. What was she planning to do?

What kind of backup did An Li leave that made Bai Qiulan think she could stand against him?

This direction…

Soon, Lu Ye hit the nail on the head.

“It’s the Devouring Dao Beast!”

He muttered to himself, his voice already tinged with certainty.

An Li’s backup was actually on the Devouring Dao Beast.

But what was the use of that?

A measly Quasi-Emperor waking up would only end up getting thrashed by the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens.

A swing would get him hit; a swing would get him hit!

But since it was An Li’s trump card, she would definitely prevent such a situation from happening.

Thus, Lu Ye began to slow down as he ran.

The Devouring Dao Beast…

If this thing awakened and no longer was affected by the laws left by the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens, a Quasi-Emperor would be chasing after him…

He would definitely die!

So what to do?

While approaching Bai Qiulan, Lu Ye began to contemplate.

If it really was the Quasi-Emperor chasing after him, given the current situation, whether in heaven or on earth, he was doomed.

So it couldn’t be the Devouring Dao Beast out to kill him.

Lu Ye’s body turned into a beam of blood light; to accelerate his speed, he activated the Heavenly Demon Blood Escape.

However, Bai Qiulan was evidently closer to the Devouring Dao Beast, and she had also employed a secret method.

The two of them rushed toward the Devouring Dao Beast from opposite sides at breakneck speed.

Lu Ye’s figure had appeared in the void.

He was getting closer and closer to the Devouring Dao Beast.

Until Lu Ye sensed the presence of the Chaos Yin Power.

A sword light sliced through the void, aiming directly at Bai Qiulan.
