Chapter 386: No Way Out

“Ah! Just like that, we get to leave?” The Drunken Sword Daoist said, somewhat incredulously.

Wait, wasn’t it said they were going to kill them?

He was already prepared for death, having heard that if one were to die now, the future rewards would be absolutely astonishing!

No one from Ming Fo Temple replied; at this point, saying anything was pointless. It was better to let upper management come to negotiate and then relay the message down.

Unfortunately, no one from the Fifth Heaven was willing to negotiate, especially after they had genuinely killed people.

However, Fa Ming had contacted Lu Ye using the Transmitting Stone.

Of course, Lu Ye didn’t respond.

When the Heaven Gate members were killed, there hadn’t been any response, so why would there be one now?

He just needed to focus on his cultivation, really push himself.

The Endless Secret Vault had fallen into Lu Ye’s hands, and its effectiveness was far stronger than even the Endless Emperor’s rebirth.

Lu Ye was going all out in his cultivation, drawing on all the immense energy-consuming abilities he had to assist his training.

Ming Fo Temple had received no news from Lu Ye, but the more they didn’t hear, the more anxious they became.

They didn’t think Lu Ye was dead or had simply given up.

Lu Ye was definitely biding his time, building up strength in the shadows, and when he felt strong enough, he would emerge and deal a fatal blow to Ming Fo Temple.

This fatal blow… who knows when it would come.

They hoped that the upper realm could persuade Lu Ye, but the people from the Heaven Gate kept saying they couldn’t get in touch with him.

The Buddha Sect also knew this was just a delaying tactic, but what could they do?

In this situation, everyone at Ming Fo Temple was under immense pressure.

So they came up with a plan.

Ascend!

After all, Lu Ye didn’t really know who was at Ming Fo Temple; they could just ascend without him knowing.

Thus, a Lohans was the first to begin crossing the tribulation!

In the starry sky, the Lohans radiated a brilliant golden light, triggering the Heavenly Tribulation.

A massive rumbling echoed.

“Beep, sister!”

A voice of Little Heavenly Dao sounded in Lu Ye’s mind.

“Ding, you can act now!”

“Beep, got it!”

Lu Ye’s eyelids twitched slightly.

“What are you two up to again?”

“Beep, sister said they were bullying me!” said the Heavenly Dao.

“Who’s bullying you?” Lu Ye raised an eyebrow.

“Beep, the bald guy!”

Ah, the Buddha Sect…

So now, the people from Ming Fo Temple had begun crossing tribulation.

Unfortunately for them, they were facing the ever-curious System and an easily manipulated Little Heavenly Dao.

Yes!

You killed the Heaven Gate members, and the Heavenly Dao could do nothing but let out a thunderstrike.

But now you were crossing tribulation!

As the tribulation clouds rose in the starry sky, vast dark clouds surged and spread wildly.

The powerful tribulation force enveloped the starry expanse; the golden glow around the Lohans was now looking extremely dim beneath the boundless black tribulation clouds.

The Lohans crossing the tribulation stared at the clouds, their faces gradually turning pale.

No…

Something was off with these clouds, wasn’t it?

He had a clear understanding of his own strength.

He was above average, with decent qualifications, but he wasn’t a Tianjiao or a genius. The world wouldn’t miss him or gain much with his absence. Why was he facing such a powerful Heavenly Tribulation?

“Boom!”

A thunderous crash sounded.

Purple lightning, merciless and unyielding, came crashing down at the Lohans. The first tribulation was like a waterfall of purple lightning, and the terrifying power was enough to make one’s scalp tingle.

The Lohans let out a furious roar!

They braced themselves, but the second wave of deep purple tribulation lightning struck.

Dark!

Dark purple!

Though it hadn’t fully formed, the absolute pressure left the Lohans in despair.

Why?

Why was this happening?

How could…

Suddenly, they recalled the time when they killed the Drunken Sword Daoist and a thunderous boom had sounded from the sky.

It was the Heavenly Dao; the Heavenly Dao was onto him!

But the Heavenly Dao was supposed to be impartial!

Why had it turned into something like this?

Heavenly Dao!

“Heavenly Dao!”

The Lohans screamed in anguish.

Boom!

They could no longer withstand the seventh bolt of tribulation lightning, and it utterly shattered them.

Just the seventh one.

“Beep, sister, he’s angry!”

“Ding, yeah, he must be angry for sure.”

“Beep, that’s bad?”

“Ding, I’m fine!”

“Beep… then what about me?”

“Ding, you’re fine too!”

“Beep, I’m fine too!”

Ming Fo Temple had lost their minds.

They knew perfectly well what abilities the Lohans who had just crossed the tribulation possessed. How could he trigger such a Heavenly Tribulation?

This was retaliation!

Was it the Heaven Gate’s influence affecting the power of the Heavenly Tribulation, or was the Heavenly Dao himself doing the dirty work?

Regardless of which it was, this event meant one thing: Their chances of ascending had been completely obliterated!

A thick sense of despair enveloped the numerous figures of the Buddha Sect.

With impossible tribulations ahead and Lu Ye chasing from behind, Ming Fo Temple was done for, utterly finished.

“Hurry, rush to the upper realms, let us negotiate! We are willing to pay a huge price to negotiate. All the problems stem from Fa Hui; the debts have a master, and we can hand Fa Hui over now!”

“Quick, summon the upper realm!”

“Hurry them up!”

They were truly left without any options.

From beginning to end, Lu Ye hadn’t even engaged them directly in battle, yet they were already in disarray.

…

The Fourth Heaven.

Shangguan Huanling and Sun Ruowei were both working incredibly hard, their cultivation speed exceptionally fast, unknowingly advancing towards the pinnacle of the Fourth Heaven.

Shangguan Huanling had just crossed the Reincarnation Realm, and this time her reincarnation had been quite a few times.

Although it was about the same as the usual experience of the Reincarnation Realm, if you knew who she was…

She was Shangguan Huanling!

Compared to normal people, her already abnormal state was at its peak.

“Finally finished with the training in the Reincarnation Realm, so tired!”

Shangguan Huanling couldn’t help but stretch, her perfect figure on full display.

Sun Ruowei had crossed the Reincarnation Realm alongside Shangguan Huanling. She was still hanging in there; as long as she could endure, she would do her best to hold on, but during the reincarnation intervals, she could still chat with Shangguan Huanling.

“What did you experience during reincarnation?” Sun Ruowei asked curiously.

Shangguan Huanling pondered for a moment.

“I can’t remember the other stuff, but I kept searching for Brother Lu Ye during reincarnation.”

Sun Ruowei…

So that’s why you could endure through so many reincarnations?

“How many times did Lu Ye go through the Reincarnation Realm in his last life?”

Even during the time when Bai Qiulan had fallen and Yue Hongling occasionally slipped into madness, Sun Ruowei had been living quite comfortably.

Because whenever Shangguan Huanling had something to say, she truly spoke.

Basically, whatever she asked, Shangguan Huanling would answer.

Sun Ruowei had consumed far too much gossip about Lu Ye’s past life.

Originally, the stories from when Lu Ye was a Celestial Lord had already filled her to the brim, but who would complain about too much gossip? Just Shangguan Huanling… there were many things she had experienced, but she genuinely had no idea what really happened, so talking about it was vague, just like now…

Shangguan Huanling seriously thought for a moment and replied.

“I don’t know; Brother Lu Ye didn’t tell me!”

It was at this moment that a figure was searching all over the Fourth Heaven for traces of Yue Hongling.
