545: Tangled Ye Luo

“You lecher!”

Qing Xuanyin frowned slightly, seemingly sensing Su Xuan’s gaze.

“He’s such a scumbag! He already has so many top-tier beauties around him, and he still wants to snatch her from me!”

The more Qing Xuanyin thought about it, the angrier she became, almost to the point of developing mammary gland hyperplasia from rage. They had clearly agreed to hand Mo Li over to her, but he actually went back on his word!

The white light of the teleportation array suddenly flared, enveloping everyone’s figures and whisking them towards the Demonic Den.

Su Xuan was entangled by Liu Ruoli and Su Qingyuan, one on each side, his nose filled with the fragrance of their bodies.

Beauties always smell good—this saying truly had no flaw. Su Xuan took a breath that was nothing short of epic.

“Husband, are you plotting something again?”

Tang Mei’s voice rang in his ear.

“You can even detect that?”

Su Xuan was a little surprised.

“Don’t think I didn’t see you; you were staring at the Tianyin Holy Master for a long time!”

Tang Mei rolled her eyes at Su Xuan. Tang Mei understood Su Xuan’s little schemes perfectly clear.

“Husband, it’s not that I’m lecturing you, but the Tianyin Holy Master isn’t that easy to win over. She’s a person who utterly detests men!”

“It’s said that in her early years, she was harmed by a man, which is why she grew to hate men!”

“Moreover, she Cultivated a Cultivation Technique that requires the help of other women, which is why she initially set her sights on Mo Li!”

“Now that we’ve gone back on our word, it might be difficult for you to win her over!”

Tang Mei said.

“Why do I feel like I’ve heard you say that before somewhere?”

Su Xuan suddenly recalled something.

“It seems so…”

Tang Mei suddenly remembered that it seemed there was indeed such a thing, but she couldn’t recall who it was about.

“No big deal! There are plenty of opportunities. For now, let’s deal with the Evil Soul Sect’s matters first!”

Su Xuan said.

…

At this moment, deep within the Evil Soul Sect’s main altar, the blood-colored altar’s patterns flickered with the incantations. In the center of the altar’s groove, Cultivators’ skulls were piled high, and black blood flowed along the groove, converging into a bizarre Evil Soul totem at the base of the altar.

The environment here was eerie; an ordinary person staying here would likely go completely insane within minutes.

“Sect Master! The sacrifices are ready!”

The former Protector respectfully came before Night Luo.

At this moment, around Night Luo, the four Protectors—front, back, left, and right—all stared intently at Night Luo, especially Right Guardian Hong Ji, whose eyes were fixed on Night Luo.

“Finally… has it come to this step?”

Night Luo looked at the altar before her, and inexplicably, new thoughts arose in her mind.

She began to doubt herself: was what she was doing truly correct?

Killing so many people was one thing, but also releasing the legendary Evil Soul Heaven to destroy this world…

Initially, Night Luo was despairing of this world due to her past experiences.

However, after so many years, Night Luo gradually developed different thoughts about this world.

She suddenly realized that this world was not as unbearable as she had imagined; there were also beautiful aspects to it.

Therefore, this made Night Luo very conflicted; she began to ponder whether everything she had done before was correct.

“Sect Master, what are you still hesitating about? Could it be that you still have something unresolved?”

Right Guardian Hong Ji, who had a conflict with Night Luo, was the first to challenge her. Last time, she didn’t gain any advantage over Night Luo, so it was only natural for her to make things difficult now.

“Right Protector seems very anxious! Could it be that you have an opinion of me?”

“It seems the lesson I gave you last time wasn’t quite enough!”

As Night Luo’s words fell, an invisible pressure was also released towards Right Guardian Hong Ji.

In an instant, Right Guardian Hong Ji felt her legs become as heavy as if filled with lead, her knees trembling uncontrollably, and cold sweat immediately beaded on her forehead.

Again! Again! This was the second time!

This year, it was the second time she had been suppressed so utterly by Night Luo!

Humiliation, resentment, anger—all sorts of emotions began to rise in Right Guardian Hong Ji’s heart.

“Sect… Sect Master, please calm your anger! Sect Master, please calm your anger! The Right Protector is just worried that the sacrifice will miss its time. After all, the opportunity for Evil Soul Heaven to awaken is once in a millennium. If we miss it…”

The Left Guardian couldn’t bear to see Right Guardian Hong Ji in such a state and quickly spoke up, for they were Dao Companions.

“Oh? When did the Left Guardian become so close to the Right Protector? You’re actually speaking up for her?”

Night Luo looked at the man before her with a cold smile. The Left Guardian, hearing this, immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

“Idiot!”

Looking at the somewhat useless man before her, Right Guardian Hong Ji immediately felt a surge of anger. Why did you have to jump out like that?

“Could it be that the two of you…”

Night Luo was about to say something, but she was interrupted by Right Guardian Hong Ji.

“Sect Master, Right Guardian Hong Ji knows her mistake! Next time, Right Guardian Hong Ji promises it won’t happen again!”

Right Guardian Hong Ji quickly begged for mercy.

Seeing this, Night Luo also withdrew her pressure, looking down at the other party.

“This time, I’ll spare you. If there’s a next time, I won’t be so lenient!”

Night Luo said coldly.

“Yes… Yes, Sect Master!”

Right Guardian Hong Ji was already drenched in cold sweat.

“What did this woman Night Luo eat? Why do I feel like her strength is even greater than before?”

Right Guardian Hong Ji didn’t understand. Last time, she could still resist a bit, but this time, she had no strength to retaliate at all!

There was only one explanation: Night Luo had hidden her strength!

“This cunning woman! If I discover that you are disloyal to the Evil Soul Heaven, I will be the first to kill you!”

Right Guardian Hong Ji thought.

“Check the altar’s incantations again, and also the blood pool. There must not be a single mistake, otherwise, you know the consequences!”

Night Luo said.

“Understood, Sect Master!”

The other two Protectors said respectfully, then glanced at the Left Guardian and Right Guardian Hong Ji, before leaving.

Night Luo looked back at the altar, her fingertips unconsciously caressing the black jade pendant at her waist. She had found it outside some time ago; a small white flower was carved on the pendant.

She remembered a mother and daughter she had met at the foot of the mountain back then, the mother holding her daughter’s hand as they bought sugar figures.

The scene at that time was very heartwarming, making Night Luo’s thoughts seem to return to her own childhood.

She vaguely remembered that when her family was still well in her childhood, her parents had treated her the same way.

However, with the outbreak of war, everything she once had disappeared.

“If Evil Soul Heaven awakens, these beautiful things will also disappear, right? Is this… truly correct?”

Night Luo was conflicted. She admitted that there was still a beautiful side to this world.

Perhaps, these things shouldn’t be destroyed.
