Chapter 353

Chapter 353: The Moon’s Counterattack

Bai Qiulan announced that Lu Ye was coming to kill her.

Aside from the people from the Grand Dao Sect, who looked a bit startled, everyone else wasn’t nearly as outraged as Bai Qiulan assumed they would be.

After all, Lu Ye was on a killing spree.

He had slaughtered his way from the First Heaven to the Fourth Heaven, going absolutely wild.

The casualties were staggering!

A number of powerful elders had been wiped out by him.

Rumor had it, that this guy didn’t spare even the chickens and dogs, and apparently, he was even splitting earthworms in half. Now he was going to kill you?

Forget killing you—even obliterating the world seemed like something Lu Ye was capable of doing.

And now, he was talking about killing his Master???

Come on, for someone like Lu Ye, killing his own Master was like drinking water—no big deal, you know?

Unfortunately, Bai Qiulan couldn’t see everyone’s reaction.

Otherwise, she definitely wouldn’t know how to continue.

On his way over, Lu Ye also heard Bai Qiulan’s words, and the corners of his mouth twitched. Honestly, he could already guess how everyone was reacting.

What reaction?

Obviously, it was just a bland response.

With a madman on his hands, now turning against his own, did anyone think that was shocking anymore?

In that moment, Lu Ye couldn’t help but think back to his past life.

It really had been like that; Bai Qiulan became Lu Ye’s Dao Companion. Once he made his move, everyone in the Nine Heavens, one and all, would dare not say a word against him for turning against his Master and ancestors.

It was a joke—one Celestial Lord and one Great Emperor.

Even if it wasn’t during the later stages, when their relationship first came to light, Lu Ye had already attained Emperor status.

Who would dare to gossip about such a Great Emperor behind his back?

Especially one who had just broken through and killed another Emperor?

The repercussions were something others simply couldn’t bear.

No one spoke up—no one dared to.

But for Bai Qiulan, that wouldn’t suffice.

Certainly, some had to say something.

Even if no one spoke, someone must have thought about it.

Hm, someone must have thought about it!

Lu Ye couldn’t stop others’ thoughts, no matter how saintly he became!

And also, in his past life, not exposing their relationship had left Bai Qiulan feeling incredibly dejected.

She felt like a person who couldn’t step into the light.

She could never be like others, holding hands in public, hugging, or acting adorably whenever she pleased.

So really, exposing their relationship just wouldn’t work—it shouldn’t have begun in the first place. Bai Qiulan should’ve just been tortured to death by the Chaos Yin Power, or at least been slapped back into being good by a series of epic beatdowns.

But alas, the version of himself in that lifetime was not the same as this lifetime.

……

Bai Qiulan was still talking.

“He once said I was the best Master in the world, and he felt incredibly honored to have a Master like me!”

“He also said that a drop of water should be repaid with a gushing spring; the affection from a Master is greater than that of parents.”

“But now, he’s coming to kill me!”

“Here I am, with my reflection projected across the Nine Heavens, hoping that through my death, I can awaken Lu Ye’s conscience.”

“I also want to know, why exactly does he want to kill me!”

The crowd’s mood was flat; a grand display was unfolding before them, and they thought something major was happening, but this was it?

What is this? Boring—simply boring.

However, at that moment, a chilling voice suddenly rang out.

“Because you’re cheap!”

The delicate and affected tone didn’t interest anyone, but the moment they heard the word “cheap,” a wave of shock rippled through the crowd.

Great!

It seemed like something new was happening!

That was Yue Hongling who had spoken.

At that moment, Yue Hongling suddenly lifted her head, and her face was twisted and distorted.

Her body suddenly ignited, all her energy burning fiercely.

This burning was like burning her very essence, consuming everything.

Her level was ablaze.

“Heaven Lock Seal!”

In that moment, Yue Hongling unleashed everything she had.

Locking Heaven was not about locking the Heavenly Dao, but rather locking the Celestial Lord!

The Heaven Lock Seal was one of the final nine seals of the Fearless Great Emperor’s Fearless Seventy-Two Seals. Logically, Yue Hongling could only use it while at the Fifth or even the Sixth Heaven.

Yet now, she managed to use it.

Thick chains instantly ensnared Bai Qiulan.

Bai Qiulan turned sharply, looking at Yue Hongling in disbelief.

She activated the Nine Li Soul Stealing Technique at the first opportunity.

But Yue Hongling was still laughing madly, crazily, and hysterically.

“Hahaha, Bai Qiulan, did you forget? I’m also your disciple!”

“How is that possible?”

Bai Qiulan’s face changed dramatically; why was the Nine Li Soul Stealing Technique not working? How could this be?

“Do you realize the Nine Li Soul Stealing Technique has no effect? My dear Master, the first time you controlled me with the Nine Li Soul Stealing Technique, did you really think I was an idiot and would let you control me a second time?”

In that moment, Yue Hongling resembled her former insane self.

Suddenly, her expression turned immensely pained, and one could see her soul splitting in two.

The onlookers gasped as they saw Yue Hongling being torn apart—it elicited gasps from many.

Wow!

To actually rip your own soul in half like that, it didn’t matter if you were weak or strong; that was an excruciating experience for anyone.

Yet this crazy woman barely showed signs of pain?

She was tough!

They had no idea that the pain of the soul tearing apart was nothing compared to the agony brought about by the Primordial Morning Mist and Chaos Yin Poison.

But Yue Hongling had seen so much that she almost disregarded such pain!

Bai Qiulan’s face also changed dramatically.

“My dear Master!”

As half of the soul was drawn out from Yue Hongling, it was clear her thoughts began to muddle.

Everyone in the Nine Heavens who could see the projection perked up.

“You want to know why your Senior Brother wants to kill you? Then let everyone see why your Senior Brother wants to kill you!”

Yue Hongling’s soul began to ignite, and a shadow started to emerge within her soul.

That was Yue Hongling’s memory!

At that moment, she was displaying her memories by burning her soul.

Lu Ye couldn’t help but take a glance.

Yue Hongling was finished!

In this lifetime, her cultivation wouldn’t progress any further.

In fact, she was at serious risk of becoming an obsession because she had burned her own soul.

Yue Hongling collapsed to the ground, exhausted.

Within the shadow, she saw herself storming toward her Senior Brother’s door, proud and radiant back then. And now?

Now she had become a shadow of her former self.

Bai Qiulan saw this scene and her expression changed drastically!

No!

“Quick! Shut off the projection!”

“Hurry, turn it off, shatter her soul!”

She was pleading with the Darkness Origin, but the Darkness Origin gave no response.

Bai Qiulan screamed as the Chaos Yin Power swirling around her erupted.

Yet with Yue Hongling’s carefully planned Heaven Lock Seal, it wouldn’t be so easy to break free.

“No!”

“No!”

“Turn it off! Turn it off!”

“No one is allowed to look!”
