The Eight Empresses Betrayed Me, Only to Deeply Regret It After Being Reborn-Chapter 21: Killing Intent

By the time Bai Qiulan returned to the arena, the battle between Xiao Huarong and Chu Ling had already ended.

As expected, Xiao Huarong lost.

In fact, just being able to exchange a few moves with Chu Ling was something to be proud of.

With this, Chu Ling and Lu Ye were left to compete for first place.

Chu Ling happily walked onto the stage, waiting for Lu Ye to come over.

To be honest, if Lu Ye didn’t need anything from the Grand Dao Treasury, she might have turned and walked away right now.

She really felt like killing someone!

Lu Ye thought to himself.

He walked up to the stage, his fingers once again coming together.

Killing intent?

Chu Ling paused, and her smile became very forced at that moment.

Young master, he actually has killing intent towards me...

Chu Ling’s eyes fixed on Lu Ye, and finally, after such a long time, Lu Ye looked at Chu Ling for the first time.

Chu Ling initially intended to just give in and admit defeat, but after sensing Lu Ye’s killing intent, her heart plunged into extreme pain.

She suddenly knelt down on the stage.

She closed her eyes.

Come on, kill me!

I’ve taken a life from you, today I’ll return it.

Anyway, living now feels meaningless, it would be better to die, and dying by Lu Ye’s hand would be my fate.

This scene left everyone present utterly confused.

"Why is this happening? How much does Chu Ling owe Lu Ye to act like this?"

"Has this woman gone mad?"

"Oh my god, what’s the situation between these two?"

The crowd below was filled with discussions. Chu Ling’s actions were truly incomprehensible.

Who would want to die like this?

Lu Ye furrowed his brow upon seeing this. Finally, he spoke, "We have no emotional ties now. I won’t kill you. How about you just stay away from me?"

Damn, I can’t kill her!

If this had happened during their fight, with one killing move, Lu Ye would have had a 90% chance of directly eliminating Chu Ling.

But now, in her current state, if Lu Ye took action, someone would definitely interfere.

He couldn't understand.

Since it’s already broken off, why not live your own life, and let him live his? Why does there need to be any further entanglement?

"No, young master can kill me, but I absolutely will not leave you!" Chu Ling said resolutely.

"Damn, you're crazy!"

He suddenly waved his hand, and Chu Ling was blasted away by a surge of energy, spitting blood as she was thrown off the stage.

Victory.

Though, Lu Ye’s mood wasn’t exactly great.

"The winner, Lu Ye!" the deputy sect leader announced the results of the match.

Lu Ye decided that he could no longer stay at the Grand Dao Sect. Once he had obtained what he needed, he would leave and go somewhere else to cultivate in seclusion.

A bunch of lunatics, can’t I just avoid them?

Bai Qiulan returned.

Sun Ruowei followed her, chattering [N O V E L I G H T] away.

"Wait, when did you get this strong? You can even defeat Dao Integration cultivators now?"

"I feel like you’ve been hiding a lot from me. Are we still good sisters?"

"Come on, spill the beans!"

"After what the Sect Leader said, I also realized that you’re not the same as before. Now you’ve become... well... more..."

Sun Ruowei carefully sized up Bai Qiulan.

"Mm... you’ve gained some charm, holy shit, what have you been doing behind my back?" Sun Ruowei suddenly widened her eyes.

Charm!

Bai Qiulan’s expression remained the same, with those elegant and cold features, as though she were untouched by the mortal world.

But now, between her brows and eyes, there was a trace of seduction, as if she had transformed from an immortal to a woman.

Bai Qiulan raised an eyebrow, about to speak.

Suddenly, an icy chill surged through her entire body, and her hand clenched into a fist.

True essence flowed.

Threads of cold energy poured out from her body.

Her dark brows furrowed.

Sun Ruowei, standing beside her, noticed the change in her expression.

"What’s wrong?"

Just the faint cold energy made Sun Ruowei, who was closest to her, feel as if her Nascent Soul was about to freeze. How could Bai Qiulan be emitting such an aura?

"No worries!"

Bai Qiulan suppressed the coldness, but her heart was uneasy.

At this moment, in front of her Nascent Soul, a drop of gray-blue liquid condensed. It was the most extreme coldness, causing her tiny Nascent Soul to furrow its brows uncontrollably.

"I have something to do, I’ll leave first."

Bai Qiulan didn’t dare to delay. The Chaos Yin Poison had appeared earlier than expected. The first time she had encountered the Chaos Yin Poison, it should have been at the Dao Integration Realm.

However, there shouldn’t be any major issues.

She had already found a way to handle the Chaos Yin Poison. Once she returned, she just needed to circulate the "Taiyin Transforming Sacred Scripture" to disperse the poison.

Bai Qiulan quickly left.

"Hey, wait for me!"

...

Lu Ye received his reward, and just now, the cold aura emitted by Bai Qiulan had been precisely captured by him.

A smile appeared on his face.

The Chaos Yin Poison, it was an appropriate time for it to appear. Bai Qiulan’s rebirth had naturally led to a significant improvement in her cultivation.

To defeat a Dao Integration cultivator while in the Virtual Realm—this alone was enough to show she was only one step away from Dao Integration.

Dear Master, the Chaos Yin Poison!

I hope in this life, you can make greater breakthroughs than in the previous life, and ideally, use your own strength to turn the Chaos Yin Poison into nothingness.

And become the champion of the sect competition.

Lu Ye was honored with the title of true disciple.

A true disciple held a higher status than an inner disciple. At this point, he was the first to become a true disciple. Even if someone else became a true disciple in the future, they would still have to address him as senior brother.

However, Lu Ye didn’t care about such things.

He immediately made his way to the Grand Dao Treasury.

He presented his token.

"You may choose three items below the seventh layer. For the items you wish to select, simply place your identity token on the restricted area," said the Elder guarding the treasury with a smile.

"Understood!"

Lu Ye was quite familiar with the Grand Dao Treasury. There were plenty of treasures inside, with nine total layers, and the items grew more precious as you went higher.

In his past life, he had been dazzled by the sights when he entered, and his goals had been clear.

Now, he walked in without rush, leisurely inspecting the items.

Every single treasure, its effects, its situation, all of them were laid out before Lu Ye.

The first item: Wood Spirit Pearl.

The second item: Key to the God Burial Ridge.

The third item: A treasure furnace.

The treasure furnace was used to exchange for the Xuan Yin Soul Fruit from the Dan Peak. This item belonged to the medicinal category, so it wasn’t collected by the Grand Dao Treasury.

After obtaining the three items, Lu Ye left the Grand Dao Treasury and headed straight to the Dan Peak.

"Passersby, passersby, the Nine Dragons Treasure Furnace, exchange for one Xuan Yin Soul Fruit! Only exchanging for Xuan Yin Soul Fruits! Senior brothers, senior sisters, uncles, aunts, grandmasters, don’t miss out!"

"Not 998, not 668, one Xuan Yin Soul Fruit, take the Nine Dragons Treasure Furnace home!"

"The Nine Dragons Treasure Furnace is good, the Nine Dragons Treasure Furnace is wonderful, nine times heating, nine times extraction, the finest medicinal pills are sure to come!"

It had been a long time since he shouted like this, and now, he felt a bit rusty.

But he was still quite satisfied.

It wasn’t just Lu Ye shouting. Under the Dan Peak, dozens, even hundreds, of cultivators were also shouting, including many alchemists in the Virtual Realm.

Sometimes, if one was lucky, they could even encounter alchemists in the Dao Integration Realm shouting their wares.
