“Chapter 549: The Eighth Type of Poison”

Angry?

Yeah, you should be!

The Darkness Origin just wants to drive An Li mad.

Can’t you get angry?

Come on, keep getting angry! If you get angrier, I’ll just turn around and leave!

Let’s see how awesome your temper really is!

And you want me to apologize too? You expect me to not only apologize but do it sincerely?

If you want something from me, don’t expect me to grovel! Do you really think I’m just Lu Ye’s plaything?

Cough, this is something I can only think in my head, I must never say it out loud; otherwise, Lu Ye might blow up.

But speaking of it, the Darkness Origin must be amazed—Lu Ye from the last life was truly impressive!

When has An Li ever been treated like this?

Okay, sure, she took some heat before meeting Lu Ye, but since then? No way she’s put up with this kind of treatment since then.

Now An Li is angry, and it’s all pointless; the Darkness Origin is determined to screw around. How can that be?

Get angry!

In Lu Ye’s last life, he fought with the Nine Ghosts Forbidden Land over Yue Hongling.

After Yue Hongling ascended to the Seventh Heaven, the Dao of the Fearless stagnated for a while, so she went out to train.

But the usual training didn’t cut it, leading Yue Hongling to think about heading to the Forbidden Land.

As soon as Lu Ye found out, he rushed to the Nine Ghosts place and smashed it to pieces.

The Nine Ghosts Forbidden Land isn’t a completely sealed-off area; it belongs to a massive world with lots of natives fleeing to it to become part of the Nine Ghosts.

This life, Yue Hongling is still in the Sixth Heaven.

Forget about training; it’s uncertain if she can even ascend to the Seventh Heaven.

So really, Lu Ye doesn’t hold any grudges against the Nine Ghosts Forbidden Land.

Let’s step back and assume Yue Hongling actually made it up here and entered the Forbidden Land—Lu Ye might even thank the Nine Ghosts for it!

So what kind of traps should be set?

Make it so Lu Ye feels justified in going to the Nine Ghosts Forbidden Land.

“I’ll use myself as bait to lure Lu Ye to the Nine Ghosts Forbidden Land!” An Li said earnestly.

She knew Lu Ye had a major death wish for her right now.

So if she used herself as bait, Lu Ye would likely rush to the Nine Ghosts Forbidden Land even faster than when he went to save Yue Hongling.

Thinking of this made An Li feel a bit down.

She had loved Lu Ye once.

But family responsibilities, the expectations of deities, and her restless heart ultimately drove her to betrayal.

Does she still love Lu Ye now?

An Li didn’t know.

But she knew Lu Ye now hated her more than anyone else.

The Darkness Origin couldn’t help but feel tempted at An Li’s words.

Of course, she knew how heavy Lu Ye’s desire to kill An Li was.

“But it seems that’s still not enough. Lu Ye has gotten especially clever; just killing you? If he does nothing but train until he’s strong enough, wouldn’t that be your end too?” said the Darkness Origin.

An Li took a deep breath.

“Well, I’ll take the antidote for this last type of poison with me; is that enough?”

The Darkness Origin couldn’t help but feel intrigued.

“Seriously, what is this last type of poison called?”

Honestly, the Darkness Origin had no idea.

An Li looked at the Darkness Origin, hesitated for a moment, and finally revealed the name of this last poison.

“Dark Beginning Insect Seal!”

The Darkness Origin heard the name.

Hmm…

Never heard of it, but that doesn’t stop it from being a potential win for me.

Keep gathering info.

“So what exactly is this Dark Beginning Insect Seal poison? What does it do? What happens when it takes effect?” asked the Darkness Origin.

An Li furrowed her brows slightly.

“Why are you asking so many questions?”

The Darkness Origin instantly had a confident look.

“Because I want to know; if this is just a useless poison, wouldn’t that be a waste of effort?”

An Li truly couldn’t fathom how the thick-browed Darkness Origin had switched sides to Lu Ye; it was utterly beyond belief! To think they had blood feuds last life!

When the Dark Uprising happened, Yin Qingcheng nearly fell, and Lu Ye’s friends? Who knows how many died!

A grudge like that? There’s no way Lu Ye would accept the Darkness Origin’s surrender.

If he could accept the Darkness Origin, wouldn’t that mean forgiving them?

“The Dark Beginning Insect Seal is something from our deities; if implanted in a human body, that person will be covered in countless marks. At that point, they’ll still look human, but our deities can fully manifest themselves in the poisoned person.”

“At that point, our deity will appear in Lu Ye’s body, completely replacing him!”

The Darkness Origin probably understood.

Good grief, in the end, An Li is the most ruthless!

Other women just want to interfere with Lu Ye’s crossing of tribulations, hoping he fails.

Only An Li is dead set on making Lu Ye completely disappear from this world.

At that moment, the Darkness Origin couldn’t help but ask.

“Didn’t you have any feelings for Nine Lives before? Are the deities of your Dark Clan still supreme in your heart?”

An Li fell silent.

If she said she felt no love at all, that would be a lie.

Lu Ye had saved her from the Dark Clan, saying it was a rescue from water and fire—it was no exaggeration.

She definitely truly loved Lu Ye.

Unfortunately, time is the most heartless thing.

Her love had an expiration date; with time passing, she unwittingly found that love had completely faded away.

The responsibilities instilled in her since childhood returned to her mind.

The deities of the Dark Clan also appeared in her thoughts.

She certainly knew that once Lu Ye became a Saint, he would reach the same level as the deities, but…

“So how do we antidote this poison?” asked the Darkness Origin.

“I can’t say! You just need to let Lu Ye know I’ll bring the antidote to the Nine Ghosts Forbidden Land!”

The Darkness Origin knew that if she kept asking, An Li would grow suspicious, so she decided to stop inquiring.

“Fine, keep me posted on any progress! I’ll awaken the Quasi-Emperor, ready for battle! This time, Nine Lives has to die!”

An Li nodded, good!

The dark mist vanished.

After leaving An Li, the Darkness Origin immediately reported to Lu Ye.

“Nine Lives, are you there?”

Can’t deny, the Darkness Origin is generally a polite person; every time she seeks Lu Ye, she starts with “are you there?”—worrying about interrupting him?

“Here.”

“An Li just contacted me; they’re about to launch another action against you. I’ve infiltrated the enemy’s ranks and will now relay our conversation.”

The Darkness Origin recounted their dialogue word for word.

When Lu Ye heard the name of the eighth type of poison…

Dark Beginning Insect Seal?

“System, run a simulation for the antidote to Dark Beginning Insect Seal!”

“Ding, starting simulation!”

“Nine Lives, am I awesome or what? Can’t you just compliment me a little?”
