Chapter 350: Found It!

Crisis!

Bai Qiulan and Yue Hongling were enveloped in a faint black mist.

An Li instructed the Darkness Origin to shield Bai Qiulan, and it obeyed without question, instantly protecting her.

In reality, if Bai Qiulan and the other seven women survived, it would spell big trouble for Lu Ye, as they all shared significant karmic ties with him.

Targeting Lu Ye through these eight women was undoubtedly more effective than confronting him directly.

However, the Darkness Origin could only temporarily hide Bai Qiulan and Yue Hongling.

With the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens obstructing the Heavenly Dao, it couldn’t just fly Bai Qiulan away to safety.

With its intervention, Lu Ye should have trouble finding them, right?

Currently, in the swirling void of the Fourth Heaven, eyes appeared sporadically, scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

The eyes showed up frequently and relentlessly began to fill the Fourth Heaven; the onlooker couldn’t believe these methods wouldn’t locate Bai Qiulan eventually.

Time ticked away.

The whole Fourth Heaven trembled, wondering which bigshot had gone mad to unleash such terrifying tactics, with eyes sweeping across the entire realm. What kind of great power could achieve this?

The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion felt a chill run down their spines; disaster had struck.

But they quickly calmed down, realizing that while such secret arts were frightening, they undoubtedly consumed massive amounts of energy and were not something the user could sustain for long.

What exactly were they searching for?

These all-seeing eyes had the intent of encompassing the entire Fourth Heaven.

Bai Qiulan hadn’t been found yet, but she was creeped out by a strong sense of unease. She still had no idea what was going on, as Lu Ye and the Devouring Dao Beast flew by at terrifying speed, leaving her and Yue Hongling hopelessly behind.

The peculiar behavior of the Darkness Origin made her increasingly anxious.

“Can we communicate?” Bai Qiulan asked.

The Darkness Origin had a certain fondness for her because Bai Qiulan’s nature fit well with its needs; she could provide it with a steady stream of energy.

Hypocrisy could sometimes be a great darkness.

Initially, the Darkness Origin would have had to expend energy to corrupt Bai Qiulan, but now, she was not only replenishing its power but adding to it.

If the world were full of people like Bai Qiulan, who knows how powerful it could become?

Unfortunately, Bai Qiulan was far too rare.

After pondering, the Darkness Origin decided to engage with her.

“Yes!”

“Something happened to An Li, right?” Bai Qiulan pressed.

“Yes!”

Though she had deduced it, hearing the Darkness Origin confirm it sent a chill down her spine.

This wasn’t just a matter of physical constitution; she was truly feeling fear.

“What on earth is happening? A Devouring Dao Beast going after Lu Ye means he is doomed for sure!”

Bai Qiulan found it utterly baffling.

A Quasi-Emperor chasing after a Heaven and Earth Realm—let’s be real; a single glance from a Quasi-Emperor could obliterate a Heaven and Earth Realm in an instant.

“The Devouring Dao Beast has turned against us,” answered the Darkness Origin.

Bai Qiulan felt even colder inside.

“So what’s going to happen to An Li?”

“Don’t worry about that. An Li won’t be an issue for a while. It’s no use overthinking; you might as well focus on your cultivation and gather more of my power.”

But Bai Qiulan frowned even more tightly.

“Lu Ye is definitely coming back to kill me!”

“Don’t worry; I’ve cloaked all karmic links on you. He won’t find you!”

“No, he has too many tricks. Can’t you take me to the Fifth Heaven?”

“No.”

The Darkness Origin delivered a very accurate answer; it was genuinely impossible.

“No way; we can’t stay here, we have to change locations.”

Bai Qiulan immediately wanted to leave; she was filled with unrest and fear.

She knew Lu Ye’s methods, and if he had the freedom to hunt for her without anyone hindering him, it would be disastrous.

Even with the Darkness Origin concealing her karma, she couldn’t count on that for sure.

We need to change places!

The Darkness Origin remained silent; it was only responsible for severing karmic ties while Bai Qiulan’s desired destination was irrelevant to it.

Bai Qiulan and Yue Hongling quickly took off.

Barely had they left when an eye appeared in their location.

Lu Ye felt slightly fatigued right now; the Fourth Heaven was incredibly vast. Even if he completely drained the energy of the altar, he might not be able to survey the entire Fourth Heaven.

But it didn’t matter; besides demons, there were plenty of other foreign beings that could also activate the altar.

Can’t find it once? Try twice! Twice not found? Let’s go for five times! Ten times—he was sure he would find it!!!

Bai Qiulan brought Yue Hongling to a place she deemed safe. Their appearances had even transformed; now they resembled men.

Their breaths changed entirely—truly perfect disguises!

But even in this situation, Bai Qiulan felt anxious.

She had done all that could be done.

Now, posing as ordinary men, she and Yue Hongling blended into one of the most crowded cities.

Unquestionably, at this moment, Bai Qiulan felt regret.

How had it come to this?

In their previous lives, they had been Dao companions; this life, she just wanted to be a Mentor. Even if Lu Ye wouldn’t be close to her, they wouldn’t end up as enemies, right?

Yet here they were, truly enemies.

She had actually become an enemy of Lu Ye.

Was her head kicked by a donkey or something for daring to make an enemy of Lu Ye? That was Lu Ye!

That was the Nine Lives Celestial Lord!

Bai Qiulan was terrified and regretted it. Hadn’t she promised to ask for Lu Ye’s forgiveness?

How did things turn out like this?

Her gaze landed on Yue Hongling.

Yes, she remembered now.

It was all Yue Hongling’s fault!

She had agreed to let her control her with the Nine Li Soul Stealing Technique, and now look at the outcome!

“It’s all your fault!”

Bai Qiulan glared fiercely at Yue Hongling.

Yue Hongling???

Big sis, I’m in deep trouble here!

But Bai Qiulan didn’t punish Yue Hongling now because she feared that any unusual behavior would alert Lu Ye.

She was genuinely terrified, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Now she had only herself to stand against Lu Ye, and the pressure was overwhelming.

All she could do was pray, pray, and pray some more.

Just as she earnestly prayed, an eye suddenly appeared in the sky, casting its gaze over the crowd below.

This eye would vanish almost instantly if it didn’t spot what it was looking for, moving on elsewhere.

However, this time, it did not disappear.

Not only didn’t it disappear, but a second eye appeared, then a third, a fourth…

Eye after eye began to converge, all locking their sights on the disguised Bai Qiulan.

Found it!

Hahaha!!

Found it!!!
