167: Red Tears in the Snow

“It would be best if others passed through here too, so we can deal with them all at once.”

Lu Chen spoke coldly, “If we don’t hunt some people to boost our achievements, the world will think our Netherworld First Grade Hall is finished.”

The other Upper Generation Seven Fiends Star Envoys had no objection to his words.

After all, Lu Chen was leading this operation, and they hadn’t been out for a long time, so they needed to stretch their muscles properly.

Murong Yue and Ye Xiaoxiang exchanged glances, then silently followed the others to hide and ambush.

…

“What is this thing! How dare it order me around?”

Yu Honglei walked through the heavy snow, her mood very vexed and displeased.

Her status among the Seven Fiend Star Envoys was not ordinary; she had powerful backing, and it was extremely strong.

The powerhouses of the Red Desire Star Envoy lineage in Netherworld First Grade Hall were only something she gained after becoming a Red Desire Star Envoy. Before that, her background was already extraordinary.

What right did a mere Lu Chen, who was only dependent on the “Red Desire” lineage, have to bully her?

The more Yu Honglei thought about it, the more depressed she became. She resolved to break through to the Soul Palace Realm as soon as possible and then stomp that guy to death!

Several hours later, she found herself lost in this eighty-thousand-mile snow-covered plain.

Because she had been distracted and venting her anger, she hadn't paid attention to her direction, and now she didn't know where she was.

“Things are a bit bad…”

Near this area, there seemed to be an ancient great sect. Although it couldn't compare to a Holy Land, it was still extremely formidable.

The most crucial thing was that she had once hunted and successfully killed the Young Master of that great sect.

“Eh? Wait… that guy is…”

Suddenly, Yu Honglei saw a black figure amidst the swirling white snow. It was so striking, just drifting lightly from afar.

She was not unfamiliar with that figure at all.

Thinking she had seen wrong, Yu Honglei rubbed her eyes, but it was perfectly clear.

It was him!

“It seems leaving was the right choice; I’ve found a treasure…” A smile appeared on Yu Honglei’s naturally enchanting face, and then her figure quietly darted away.

“Ah… Ah-choo!”

Chu Ying kept the Immortal Tomb Grand Elder’s guidance in mind, heading east, wishing for success.

However, the snow was indeed very heavy, making it difficult to discern direction. He had been leaving marks on the way to avoid getting lost.

Yet, he quickly entered a plain of unknown vastness.

Looking around, everything was white.

Chu Ying felt a bit depressed, wondering how much longer he had to walk, and he didn't know where this was.

He occasionally sneezed, which made him feel inexplicable.

With the strength of his Physical Body, he shouldn't catch a cold like a Mortal in this snowy weather, right?

“Hehehe, Little Brother Chu, we meet again.”

A string of charming, melodious laughter like silver bells drifted over.

Amidst the vast white snow, Yu Honglei, in a red dress as vibrant as fire, walked over.

Her two long legs, whiter than snow and as smooth as mutton fat jade, seemed even longer than life itself.

The slight pink on her knees, seemingly caused by the cold, was clearly visible, making one's heart stir.

Chu Ying stopped, watching her with a vigilant expression.

“The Red Desire Star Envoy of Yipin Hall? Why are you here?” Chu Ying said, frowning as he surveyed his surroundings.

Meeting someone from Netherworld First Grade Hall never boded well; a big battle might be imminent.

After all, the reputation of demonic sects was always notorious.

However, Chu Ying did not detect the aura of anyone else besides Yu Honglei, nor did he see the familiar beautiful Star Envoys who often accompanied Yu Honglei.

“Don’t be nervous, Little Brother Chu. Sister is alone today~”

Yu Honglei smiled charmingly, constantly exuding allure. This was due to her Innate seductive bones and the illusions she cultivated.

“Your illusions are useless against me.”

Chu Ying’s expression was calm, without fear. Since it was just Yu Honglei, he had nothing to be afraid of.

Chu Ying didn't want to be an enemy of Netherworld First Grade Hall, but he wasn't afraid either.

The only one he had heard of but never seen was the mysterious Young Master of Yipin Hall, Di Yi.

If they could meet, Chu Ying would really like to fight him, without using any side effects, to see who was stronger.

“Of course Sister knows that, but I haven’t used any illusions.”

Yu Honglei still didn't stop, walking directly towards Chu Ying.

“If you want to fight, I can accompany you, but I won’t necessarily show mercy to a woman.” Chu Ying was still very vigilant and was already preparing to strike.

No sooner had he spoken than the next moment.

Yu Honglei seemed to transform into a wisp of red fragrant wind, rushing straight towards him.

Chu Ying instinctively slapped out a palm. After all, this woman was very strange, cultivating illusionary arts, and it wouldn't be good if he accidentally fell for her trick.

Besides, what good intentions could someone from Netherworld First Grade Hall have?

But then Chu Ying immediately regretted it, and at the same time, his brows furrowed tightly, completely bewildered.

“Cough cough… Does Little Brother Chu want to kill me that badly? I’ve never had any killing intent towards Little Brother Chu~”

Her enchanting face appeared pale, and a streak of crimson blood stained Yu Honglei’s lips, yet she still reached Chu Ying and threw herself at him.

This left Chu Ying utterly baffled.

What was this woman… trying to do?

“I am not a gentleman. Although I don’t understand your purpose, I don’t want to have too much interaction with you.”

Chu Ying pushed away Yu Honglei’s soft, fragrant body, his expression cold.

Who knew if this was a scheme set by Netherworld First Grade Hall for him?

He was now the Son-in-law of the Immortal Tomb, the son-in-law of the Great Dream Celestial. Even Netherworld First Grade Hall probably wouldn't dare to openly deal with him.

Would they use such underhanded tactics? A honey trap? To deal with him?

Better safe than sorry, Chu Ying felt it was better to be vigilant.

“Cough!”

Yu Honglei’s delicate body fell to the ground weakly, her expression frail, and she gave a bitter smile:

“Little Brother Chu is so heartless. Scarlet Tears truly believes she has never offended Little Brother Chu.”

Her injuries were not faked. The palm Chu Ying struck her with, although not at full power and without using any martial arts, was just an ordinary palm.

But the current Chu Ying had eight Cave Heavens, several forbidden and extraordinary Dharma Idols, and had undergone multiple Tian Fai tribulations, Heavenly Condemnations, Tian Fai…

Later, during those days of intimacy with Meng Qing, it was another dreamlike Dual Cultivation.

Although his cultivation had not improved because he himself was suppressing it, his true strength had indeed surged.

It was no exaggeration to say that a casual palm strike from him possessed a Seven Restrictions combat power.

He could easily kill Soul Palace Realm Cultivators; even the first level of Human Soul Palace couldn't block him.

Although Yu Honglei was also a Seven Cave Heavens Cultivator, a rare Tianjiao, her cultivation was still at the ninth level of the Cave Heaven Realm. Her combat power was much weaker than that of Divine King Body Luo Chen, Thunder Punishment Holy Son Lei Aotian and the like.

She was far from reaching the Seven Restrictions combat power level, and being unprepared, she took Chu Ying's palm, naturally suffering severe injuries on the spot.

If Chu Ying hadn't become aware later and retracted some of his strength, she would have been even more severely injured, unable to even stand steadily.

“What is your purpose in finding me?”

Hearing Yu Honglei’s words, Chu Ying’s brows slightly relaxed, and he asked thoughtfully.

“I also wonder, I don’t have too many conflicts with your Netherworld First Grade Hall, do I?”
