Chapter 637: No Wonder the Compassionless Sage

Can Lu Ye hold it in?

Not for even a single minute.

He could easily wipe out this bunch eight hundred times in no time.

But what can he do?

He decided to endure for now; after all, the injuries suffered by the Compassionless Sage had nothing to do with him, and he certainly didn’t have any affection for that Qing Tian.

He just wanted to cultivate diligently.

After all, there’s always a way out.

But he was overthinking it.

Even if he cultivated, all his resources were under Zhu Tianjiao’s control. Despite being taken in as a student by the White Egret Academy, every relationship he had there had been soured by Zhu Tianjiao’s schemes.

Fellow students hated him; teachers despised him.

He thought about changing his place of cultivation!

But the big powers didn’t want him, and the small ones were bound to be wiped out by Zhu Tianjiao.

Zhu Tianjiao had ample chances to kill him, yet she seemed to have found an amusing pet in him, torturing him bit by bit.

The first half of his life was completely overshadowed by Zhu Tianjiao.

The wounds in his heart just wouldn’t heal.

Even when he grew stronger later, it was of no use, it didn’t help at all.

He killed Zhu Tianjiao.

Everyone called him a nemesis.

He tried to show them Zhu Tianjiao’s true colors, but everyone just thought Lu Ye was slandering her.

Lu Ye even started to believe Zhu Tianjiao was genuinely a paragon of virtue; otherwise, why would everyone love her, even with the truth right in front of them?

Lu Ye considered leaving, wondering if people would remember his good sides if he did.

But what a joke!

If you leave, who cares about you?

Even if you left, those people wouldn’t encounter any hardships.

Instead, they’d probably feel relieved once you were gone.

“What is this…”

Lu Ye really wanted to find a way to help the Compassionless Sage, but he was utterly powerless.

Family love, romantic love, friendship, mentorship—all of the Compassionless Sage’s emotions were ruined by Zhu Tianjiao.

Zhu Tianjiao seemed to have some sort of magic; everyone believed in her, and no one believed in Zhu Qing Shen.

Lu Ye couldn’t completely immerse himself in this feeling; it made him nauseous. He could hardly imagine that if he actually became Zhu Qing Shen, he’d probably end the world!

Lu Ye let out a long breath.

Forget it, forget it!

Even if Lu Ye had incredible abilities, he still couldn’t resolve the affairs of the Compassionless Sage.

He was utterly exhausted.

Lu Ye reappeared in the battlefield between the Invincible Sword Lord and the Compassionless Sage.

The two had already reached a boiling point. As for the Compassionless Sage, even Lu Ye had made the River of Time bear a burden, causing time to change.

Let the Compassionless Sage handle it himself.

He couldn’t withstand it.

“You two, stop fighting! If you keep this up, you’ll both perish together. How about we just focus on our own businesses? We’ve still got the Crimson Dust Saint to deal with!”

Actually, the Crimson Dust Saint was already at the critical moment of time.

But Lu Ye didn’t dare approach.

If he dared to find the Crimson Dust Saint at that moment, he’d definitely be instantly killed.

The kind of instant kill that wouldn’t lead to revival.

But neither of them paid any attention to Lu Ye.

“Ahem, Invincible Sword Lord, there are other strong folks waiting for you to fight! If you perish together with the Compassionless Sage, won’t you lose the chance to battle with the others?”

“What do you know? I only need this one battle; then my trip here will have been worth it!” the Invincible Sword Lord declared gleefully.

To be honest, if he didn’t have to protect the Heavens and Earth… alright, if it wasn’t to protect the System and Little Heavenly Dao, Lu Ye wouldn’t be going through all this hassle to persuade them, he’d even look for resources himself…

Forget it, let’s go check somewhere else.

Lu Ye’s figure vanished.

In truth, the fluctuations in the River of Time this time were far less terrifying than in the last life.

During the last life, when the battle in the River of Time erupted, the entire River surged with terrifying waves, feeling like it could crack any moment.

This time, the River of Time only swayed with tiny ripples.

Because a massive number of powerful beings were chasing An Li.

Compared to the chance of becoming a Saint, everything else could be pushed back.

An Li was running for her life.

All the Celestial Lords were closing in on her, already forming a preliminary encirclement.

An Li felt that as she fled, occasionally, a Celestial Lord’s aura would pop up to search around. Some had such powerful detection abilities that they’d find her and begin a mad chase.

An Li was in dire straits while escaping.

“What to do? What to do?”

An Li felt the chances of encountering Celestial Lords were growing rapidly.

She anxiously questioned the Dark Origin God.

But the Dark Origin God didn’t answer her.

“I’m asking you something; give me some advice!”

The Dark Origin God remained silent.

“Are you dead or what?”

…

After An Li frantically pressed for answers, the Dark Origin God still didn’t respond.

In that moment, An Li seemed to have realized something.

“So you can talk now!”

Finally, the Dark Origin God spoke up.

“Look, I’m sincerely recognizing my mistakes. You told me not to speak, so I didn’t say a word.” The Dark Origin God said leisurely.

“Cut the nonsense, what do we do?”

An Li was almost ready to burst with anger.

“Simple, split off a decoy to draw their attention away.”

After being heavily injured by the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens, the Dark Origin God couldn’t escape and got entangled.

Now he was surrounded, but he wasn’t trapped, there were always ways out.

“However, you’re so weak. Can you really learn the method of splitting a decoy?”

An Li…

“I told you to talk less!”

“Alright, I’ll teach you.”

The situation was indeed a bit urgent; the Dark Origin God stopped being mad at An Li.

He began to teach her the methods.

However, obviously, this method would also consume a lot of essence.

The Dark Origin God was running low on essence already.

Maybe if they escaped this time, An Li would indeed be unable to fight against the Great Emperor.

The Dark Origin God felt deeply embarrassed being outsmarted by such a woman!

Fortunately, in this extreme situation, An Li quickly learned the method of essence separation and left a decoy to attract the Celestial Lords’ attention.

Her main body swiftly escaped.

The Dark Origin God’s essence had already dwindled to almost nothing in such a short period of time.

Next, An Li had no choice but to fight for resources from the Quasi-Emperors.

This situation left An Li feeling a bit lost.

With so many Celestial Lords chasing her, were there any traps left behind by the Four Spirits of Heaven?

She hadn’t seen Lu Ye!

But this situation meant that relying on the battle in the River of Time to regain a massive amount of essence had become a mere fantasy.

She could only strike once and then flee like crazy.

Although she could recover a small portion of essence, that would definitely be very little.

Lu Ye’s strength was growing day by day; did she have any other options?

Given Lu Ye a bit more time, she even doubted that even if she fully recovered the Dark Origin God’s essence, she still wouldn’t be able to beat Lu Ye.

It was hard, so incredibly hard!

An Li felt an overwhelming bitterness inside her heart.
