Chapter 585

Chapter 585: The Eve

An Li really didn’t want to face punishment because that punishment hurt like hell.

But just because she wanted to avoid punishment meant she had to submit? Now, that was underestimating her.

She was right here!

Go ahead, kill her, whatever, but if you think you can make her go meet An Ri, you can forget it.

Did they really think she was a dog, being called over and over by An Ri?

The guy responsible for summoning her…

Looking at An Li’s mad state, his eyes were filled with disgust—wasn’t this just a lunatic? Crazy!

An Li caught sight of that look and nearly bit her silver teeth in frustration. Just you wait! Just you wait!

Once her plan succeeded, she would torture these people to death in the most painful way possible. If she didn’t, she wouldn’t even be worthy of the surname An!

The guy couldn’t handle it now; being glared at by An Li made him feel a chill wash over him, a faint fear inevitably rising.

Crazy, crazy!

He could only go back and report to the Family Head.

When An Ri heard this, he was momentarily stunned, then narrowed his eyes.

Huge trouble—her being so angry at him sending someone to summon her.

“I’ll go grab her,” An Yun said.

“No need, I’ll go see her,” An Ri said with a smile.

In an instant, he disappeared and reappeared right in front of An Li, wearing a kind expression.

“Who dared to upset the esteemed talent of our Dark Clan? Tell me, and I will definitely punish them well!” An Ri spoke gently, though there was a playful tone in his voice.

An Li stared coldly at An Ri.

“Do you think this is funny right now?”

An Ri…

Fine, fine, fine, so this is how it’s going to be?

You won’t take the opportunity I’m giving you.

Still, An Ri swallowed his irritation, “You’re upset because of the punishment, right? I was equally furious when I found out. Those rules are meant for ordinary Dark Clan members, I can’t believe they would punish you. Don’t worry, once this matter is resolved, I will make sure to punish the ones who sent you to be punished!”

An Li’s eyes glinted with sarcasm.

“Are you treating me like a fool or just playing the fool yourself?”

An Ri???

“I was calling for you loudly when you were in seclusion; you’re the Great Emperor, how could you not hear me?”

An Ri…

His fists clenched in his long sleeves.

“Since you already know that the Darkness Origin has sided with Lu Ye, why don’t you take it more seriously?”

“Have you considered that the Celestial Lords from the Darkness Origin might strike to break the laws left by the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens and descend upon the Dark Clan, wiping us out completely before the Dark Beginning Insect Seal activates?”

As soon as those words left her mouth, An Ri’s expression changed instantly.

“No way?”

An Li smirked.

“No way?”

“You’re going to rely on ‘no way’ for something as serious as a god’s descent?”

An Li was really sick of An Ri’s arrogance.

He looked so full of himself, just a Quasi-Emperor, and already three Celestial Lords were openly saying they wanted to kill him, yet he still looked like he was sure of victory—pathetic to the extreme.

Who gave him that confidence?

An Ri’s expression turned somber.

For a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

It was just a clash of ideologies. An Li understood how strong Lu Ye was and was filled with absolute dread.

Meanwhile, An Ri thought he was in the clear.

Because he had already used all the means he could, all the methods he thought of were exhausted.

Now he just needed to wait for Lu Ye to unleash the Dark Beginning Insect Seal.

But then An Ri thought again.

Wait?

Something’s off!

Now the Celestial Lords have already started fighting, so what good will An Li’s chatter do?

The Dark Clan only had one Great Emperor and a Dark Moon who barely matched a Great Emperor’s strength thanks to some statue.

Forget facing a Celestial Lord; they wouldn’t stand a chance against any Emperor at all.

So why think so much?

“Cough, the reason I came to see you isn’t about the Celestial Lords; you know Lu Ye pretty well, right? Just now, a Dao crossed the heavens and suppressed ten thousand paths. That Dao had the aura of Lu Ye’s Dao,” An Ri mimicked the essence of the Dao of Seeking.

An Li’s body froze.

“Suppressing ten thousand paths?” An Li asked uncertainly.

“Yes!”

An Li’s gaze fell on the essence of the Dao of Seeking in An Ri’s hand.

She knew that this Dao of Seeking belonged to Lu Ye, having battled him nearly eight hundred times before.

So now Lu Ye’s Dao had already reached the level of a Great Emperor.

Hmm, he wasn’t a Quasi-Emperor yet, but still a Great Emperor-level Dao.

What was he up to?

Clearly, he was out for the Dark Clan!

He was probably planning to attack the Dark Clan before ascending to Quasi-Emperor.

An Li shut her eyes.

“It belongs to Lu Ye.”

An Ri’s expression darkened.

Not good!

How could his Dao have risen so quickly?

“No worries, Celestial Lords often revive quickly, and having a Dao improve rapidly isn’t a huge deal. Just because his Dao has reached the Emperor Realm, he’s still lacking in many other aspects!”

An Li said nothing more.

An Ri watched An Li with her eyes closed, unable to hold back another surge of anger.

Fine, fine, fine!

You really think the Dark Clan can’t handle Lu Ye without you?

“You should rest well; if you need anything, just find me directly,” An Ri said gently.

After speaking, he didn’t wait for An Li to say anything, though she wouldn’t anyway, and he left.

An Li opened her eyes once An Ri was gone.

Her gaze seemed a bit hollow.

No, Lu Ye must be planning to reach the Ruler Realm to take on a Great Emperor.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so eager to elevate his Dao.

Now that his Dao even reached the Emperor Realm, saying he wasn’t strong in other aspects? An Li definitely didn’t believe that.

So the Dark Clan was in danger.

Could a god even descend now?

While An Li was still thinking, her door was suddenly blasted open.

The punishment hall’s people barged in, and let’s be honest, they were all familiar faces by now.

“An Li, disobeying the Family Head’s orders warrants punishment; take her away for execution!”

An Li…

The Dark Clan was completely hopeless now; she wielded no influence within the clan, and it didn’t matter whether she stayed or left.

She had to choose her own way out.

But who could possibly be her ally?

An Li pondered.

…

“Nine Lives, the Sea of Blood Celestial Lord defeated the Forgetful Emotion Celestial Lord and suffered damage to his origin; he has now entered the Ancient Land of the Heavenly Corpse.”

Lu Ye opened his eyes at that moment.

He clenched his fists, the majestic and terrifying Primordial Force swirling within him.

“Pass my orders: all Quasi-Emperors, come out with me to slay the enemies!”
