Chapter 327: They All Deserve to Die

The Devouring Dao Beast is attacking Lu Ye?

Bai Qiulan frowned tightly.

She had indeed endured the freezing effects of Chaos Yin Poison many times, but that cold wouldn’t dull her senses.

The Devouring Dao Beast had already been clobbered into who-knows-what shape by the laws of the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens; did it think she didn’t see it clearly?

How could a Devouring Dao Beast that barely showed its face take action against Lu Ye?

“This matter requires your assistance,” An Li said.

Bai Qiulan’s heart sank immediately.

She knew working with An Li was tantamount to collaborating with a tiger to skin it, but she had no other options left.

It was unexpected how quickly An Li revealed her talons.

“How can I help?”

Given that things had escalated to this point, Bai Qiulan could only secure her position firmly on An Li’s ship.

An Li replied, “I initially planned to mold a powerful figure with the Dark God Sect as a conduit between me and the Devouring Dao Beast, but I didn’t expect the Dark God Sect to be wiped out so quickly.”

Frankly, An Li had no inkling that Lu Ye would align with the people from the Heavenly Gate in this lifetime. After all, back in the last life, when she met Lu Ye, he was already in conflict with the Heavenly Gate.

No, her brain was taking hits.

She didn’t meet Lu Ye in the Fourth Heaven in her last life but out in the void.

Because she wasn’t human in the first place, but a special kind of being.

In her last life, Lu Ye brought her back from the void, and in this life, she had come to the Nine Heavens on her own, only to be pinned to the Fourth Heaven right after entering.

The Heavenly Gate discovered the peculiarities of the Dark God Sect, leading to its swift demise, thus severing the connection between An Li and the Devouring Dao Beast.

That’s precisely why she urgently needed Bai Qiulan to ally with the Darkness Origin.

“So, now that the Dark God Sect is destroyed, I can only be the conduit between the Devouring Dao Beast and the Darkness Origin?” Bai Qiulan asked.

“Yes!”

“What if I refuse?”

An Li couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Sister Bai, we’ve come this far; let’s not be so… uh, let’s be more… honest, shall we?”

“You’re willing, aren’t you?”

Not willing? Having already boarded this ship, how could one still claim to be unwilling?

Now even if An Li let the Devouring Dao Beast send Bai Qiulan away, would she dare to go?

She had no choice but to follow her, walking down this road into the abyss.

There was no other way.

Bai Qiulan glanced at Yue Hongling, frozen solid. “What if we use her as the conduit?”

An Li shook her head.

“No way!”

“Why not?”

“Because she hasn’t teamed up with me!”

Another way to say it is, Yue Hongling hasn’t been corrupted by the Darkness Origin.

Yue Hongling was still Yue Hongling.

Bai Qiulan inexplicably felt quite agitated; even after going crazy like that, could it be Yue Hongling wasn’t corrupted by the Darkness Origin?

So that means Yue Hongling was inherently vicious.

If she wasn’t corrupted, she wouldn’t have done something like that.

“What kind of impact will being a conduit have on me?” Bai Qiulan asked.

“No significant impact; it just means you’ll completely become part of the Darkness Origin from now on. That’s perfectly normal; I’m also part of the Darkness Origin now. Do you see any problem with that?”

An Li twirled her body, her black dress spinning, her skin contrasting beautifully against the black, elegant and stunning.

“The Darkness Origin is actually a different kind of Heavenly Dao. If the Darkness Origin replaces the current Heavenly Dao, then the Darkness Origin is the legitimate Heavenly Dao.”

“So what are you worried about?”

“This world has always been about the victor being king and the loser being a bandit. As long as we succeed, the current Heavenly Dao, a thousand years from now, ten thousand years from now, a million years from now, will be the fallen Heavenly Dao!”

“And we—are the supreme and magnificent beings who will open a brand new world and a new Heavenly Dao!”

An Li’s voice was impassioned, her gaze filled with fervor.

Bai Qiulan…

“I need you to sign a contract with me; you must ensure that I, as the conduit, won’t be harmed, or else I won’t proceed as the conduit,” Bai Qiulan stated.

An Li shook her head with resignation.

“Sister Bai, why can’t you see reality? If the Devouring Dao Beast manages to kill Lu Ye, I’d naturally be thrilled, but if it doesn’t, what loss do I face?”

“On the contrary, what would you do if I were to leave now?” An Li asked with a smile.

Bai Qiulan fell silent.

“Sister Bai, just rest assured; we’ve shared so many years of relationship, once even sharing a bed, this bond of ours, I’d never harm you.”

“Once this matter is completed, I’ll help you resolve your troubles with Chalk Yin Poison, and you won’t be hindered by it anymore.”

Bai Qiulan suddenly felt an overwhelming fatigue wash over her.

Forget it.

It had come to this; she could only leave it to fate.

She hadn’t truly killed Yue Hongling; although An Li claimed she could help her with the Chaos Yin Poison, what if it didn’t work?

Only Yue Hongling could wield the Feminine Extreme Yin Sutra.

She had to keep her.

“Alright, let’s do it!”

Bai Qiulan displayed her determination.

An Li smiled brightly, transforming into black mist that surged into Bai Qiulan’s body.

In that instant, the dark side of Bai Qiulan’s mind expanded infinitely.

“Why? Why would I let myself have the disgusting physique of the Chaos Yin Divine Body?”

“Why? Why can’t Lu Ye forgive me when I’ve already acknowledged my mistakes?”

“I’ve given him my body, given him my most precious things. After just one betrayal, he’s so heartless!”

“Why can’t he tolerate my flaws?”

“I just wanted to save face; is saving face a crime?”

“Why? Yue Hongling once said I was the best mentor, yet she won’t even help me alleviate the Chaos Yin Poison!”

“I saved Chu Ling, saved Shangguan Huanling; why wouldn’t they help me with the grace of saving their lives?”

“And this An Li, constantly tempting me, leading me deeper into the abyss!”

“Lu Ye! Yue Hongling! Shangguan Huanling! Chu Ling! An Li!”

“Damn it! Damn it! They all deserve to die!”

Threads of black mist curled into lines, spreading toward various parts of the Devouring Dao Beast’s body.

The Devouring Dao Beast cooperated willingly.

It had had enough, really enough!

This time it would finally break free, even if it was in a humbling way, but that was enough!

The threads spread quickly.

Connecting to every part of the Devouring Dao Beast.

All the threads intertwined like blood vessels in the human body, intricate and dense.

In that moment, a profound terror surged within Bai Qiulan.

“Sister Bai, pay attention; it’s coming!”

An Li kindly reminded.

Bai Qiulan’s face twisted; under this kind of terror, she also felt a pang of regret.

If only she had known, if only…

“Boom!”
