Chapter 548: Crazy Choke Point

The black mist coiled around An Li’s graceful figure like a python.

“An Li, it’s been a while since I last saw you. I kind of missed you,” said the Darkness Origin with a smile.

This is what you call a sudden stroke of good fortune, right?

Upon hearing the voice of Darkness Origin, An Li couldn’t help but frown.

“Why does your voice sound more feminine now?”

The voice of Darkness Origin used to be androgynous, now it was distinctly female.

Darkness Origin didn’t bother explaining.

“None of your business!”

An Li’s expression instantly turned icy.

“You’ve lost a whopping nine Quasi-Emperors, aren’t you hurting?” An Li asked.

“Of course, I’m hurting! But what’s the point? The Heavenly Gate has dozens of Quasi-Emperors just lounging around. What can I do about it?”

“We need to join forces again!” An Li declared.

“Are we teaming up as you and me, or as the Dark Clan and me?”

“Definitely as the Dark Clan!”

“But the Dark Clan is already being hunted by a lot of strong people. It seems like you can’t even dare to step outside, so how can you form an alliance with me?”

“Forget worrying about that! Just tell me, are we teaming up or not?”

Darkness Origin decided right then and there.

“No teaming up! I’m scared that if we team up and fail, you’ll then make me apologize like a crazy person. Who do you think you are? What gives you the right to demand an apology from me?” Darkness Origin mercilessly mocked An Li.

“Aren’t you the one who said you wouldn’t come out unless I apologized? Well, I haven’t apologized, and yet here you are!”

Just pure mockery and sarcasm.

What did Darkness Origin have to fear now?

Sorry, lady, I already voted!

With nine Quasi-Emperors gone, I’m not sad at all—in fact, I’m genuinely happy! Because those nine Quasi-Emperors are basically a win for me!

How are you going to hold that against me?

“Now that Lu Ye’s strength is continuously increasing, don’t you feel any sense of urgency? At the rate he’s growing, it won’t be long before he becomes an Emperor. By then, even if you have all the strong people in Darkness Origin, what will it matter?”

“If he becomes an Emperor, even the Darkness Celestial Lord will definitely be his opponent.”

“So what?”

Darkness Origin was completely unfazed.

“Even if he becomes an Emperor, I can just hide. In my last life, he became a Saint, but when I hid, he still couldn’t find me.”

“If I hadn’t gone to check out our joint masterpiece in my last life, would he have been able to take me?” Darkness Origin said nonchalantly.

An Li…

She never expected that the current Darkness Origin would be acting so nonchalant after getting beaten by Lu Ye.

This was truly troublesome!

“But in this life, he might become a Saint!”

“So what? Even the Celestial Lord couldn’t find me, so even if he becomes a Saint, he might not be able to find me!”

“What if he does find you?”

“Then I’d be dead!”

6!

An Li was simply at a loss.

This Darkness Origin was insufferable…

An Li didn’t even know what to say anymore.

“Alright, stop sulking. I know that Lu Ye is definitely a major threat to you. You two have had a long-standing feud that can’t just be resolved. Now you have to stand tall and muster one last joint assault.”

“If this joint assault fails again, there’s no need to say anything more. We’ll just wait for our doom!”

Darkness Origin scoffed inwardly.

Fail the assault? That’s your end! I’m definitely not finished, and in fact, I’m going to get even better!

If I hadn’t surrendered, some words would definitely just stay in my head.

But now that I surrendered, I’ll just say it straight up: “Who the hell is sulking with you? You think you’re worthy!”

An Li was furious.

She couldn’t help but start tearing into Darkness Origin.

But she held herself back.

“Can you just speak normally?” An Li said unpleased.

Fine, if I’m going to be an undercover agent, I’ll have to endure this for now.

“Alright, what’s the next plan for this doomed alliance?”

An Li…

“I want to contact the Forbidden Land. This time, we, the Dark Clan, the Forbidden Land, and Darkness Origin will join forces to kill Lu Ye. What do you think?” An Li asked.

“Pfft, you think the Forbidden Land will even care about you?” Darkness Origin scoffed.

An Li…

Don’t get angry, don’t get angry, or I’ll be sick and have no one to care for me.

“Of course! You know we’ve always kept in touch with the Forbidden Land. Now that Lu Ye has become a major threat, if we leave him unchecked, there will be a Saint born, and then the Forbidden Land will only have the path of extinction!”

“Which Forbidden Land?” Darkness Origin asked.

“The Nine Ghosts Forbidden Land!”

“Hmm? Didn’t Lu Ye destroy the Nine Ghosts Forbidden Land in the last life?”

The battle of Nine Ghosts—Lu Ye was on a rampage back then.

“Exactly because it was destroyed in the last life, we need their help in this life.”

“Just the Nine Ghosts Forbidden Land doesn’t seem like enough, does it?”

An Li nodded, “Not enough, definitely not enough. Not just the Nine Ghosts Forbidden Land, but also the Divine Ruins Forbidden Land, the Primordial Forbidden Land, and the Heartless Forbidden Land.”

“With all four Forbidden Lands joining forces, plus our strengths, how could Lu Ye survive?”

Darkness Origin pondered for a moment.

“He should still survive…”

An Li…

Is Darkness Origin really just reacting out of panic now? Is she feeling down and out?

“But wait, your Dark Clan can obviously contact the Forbidden Land. Why didn’t you reach out right when Lu Ye ascended? Instead, you waited until all our Quasi-Emperors got taken down before trying to contact them?”

“If we had contacted the Forbidden Land back then, even if Lu Ye called in so many Quasi-Emperors, he’d still get crushed from the start!” Darkness Origin said, displeased.

An Li sighed softly.

“At that time, the Forbidden Land wasn’t even on our radar. If we had known Lu Ye could call so many allies, we definitely would’ve contacted the Forbidden Land people.

An Li still couldn’t fathom how, given all his victorious rampage, Lu Ye could have gathered so many allies. It was simply unbelievable.

“But now that so many Quasi-Emperors are in the Heavenly Gate, even if you manage to reach the Forbidden Land, it seems you still won’t have a way to deal with Lu Ye?”

“No! I do!”

Light suddenly flickered in An Li’s eyes.

“What plan?” Darkness Origin asked curiously.

“You can just worry about how many Quasi-Emperors you can bring,” An Li asked.

Darkness Origin thought for a moment.

“You should tell me your plan. With all your previous failures, it’s hard for me to just believe you like that.”

An Li…

What the heck? Why is your speech like this? The original Darkness Origin wasn’t like this!

The current Darkness Origin had every word making An Li’s anger boil over.

Infuriating!
