Crimson light filled the sky.
Lu Ye's figure rose into the air, and within the crimson light, a giant Heavenly Gate seemed to appear, welcoming Lu Ye's arrival.
"Lu Ye Gege!"
Shangguan Huanling shouted with all her might.
Lu Ye did not look back.
This time, Shangguan Huanling probably wouldn't appear before him for a long time, right?
However, even in the Sixth Heaven, Lu Ye hadn't seen Shangguan Huanling many times.
When he made up his mind to cut ties, the severance was truly very, very swift.
And the further they went, the greater the distance between them, and Lu Ye was genuinely happy from the bottom of his heart.
Although he had long since let go, he didn't mean to kill everyone. These few people were always surrounding him, so wouldn't it be exhilarating to get rid of them completely now?
"Lu Ye Gege, I will come find you soon, I will definitely come find you, wait for me!"
Lu Ye's body, which was in the process of ascending, stiffened.
Don't you dare come, you're annoying!
He thought this was the end, but who would have expected Lu Ye to hear another voice.
"Senior Brother!"
"Senior Brother, wait for me!"
"Senior Brother!"
"Senior Brother, let me see you one more time."
The voice was faint, coming from a very distant location.
Upon hearing this, Lu Ye accelerated abruptly, retreating!
...
Lu Ye's figure disappeared.
Shangguan Huanling stopped waving her hand, her eyes filled with dejection.
Lu Ye had ascended after all, leaving her behind once again. She could convince herself, but her heart wouldn't be convinced.
Shangguan Huanling couldn't help but regret it again.
If only, if only in her previous life, when Yin Qingcheng sought her out, she had refused, how good that would have been.
Originally, when Yin Qingcheng spoke, there was no forceful attitude, maintaining a very hesitant feeling. Shangguan Huanling was certain that if she had refused, Yin Qingcheng would definitely not have forced her.
Unfortunately, she had agreed!
Because everyone else was doing it.
If she didn't, how could she integrate into the group?
Thinking back now, if she hadn't done it in her previous life, becoming the only one who didn't betray Lu Ye, she was afraid she wouldn't even know how rich and happy she would be in this life!
There is regret medicine in the world.
Unfortunately, the only regret medicine was eaten by Lu Ye.
If she could start over, she definitely wouldn't do such a foolish thing again, and she would absolutely not let the Path of Sentience disappear again.
Vermillion Bird's eyes also held a ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) hint of desolation.
Powerless!
Extremely powerless!
Now she truly didn't know how to approach Lu Ye anymore. Lu Ye and she no longer had any entanglement. She tried every possible method, wanting to get closer to Lu Ye, but there was no way.
Because she really couldn't find a reason to approach Lu Ye.
Their relationship was far worse than that of strangers.
When Lu Ye saw a stranger, his attitude might be decent, perhaps even with a smile.
But facing her, he was chillingly indifferent.
"Senior Brother!"
"Senior Brother!"
"Don't leave!"
A sorrowful and mournful voice came from far away, growing closer.
Sun Ruowei and the other two looked in the direction of the voice simultaneously, their faces revealing surprise.
After such a long time, Yue Hongling had finally ascended.
The three of them hurried over to greet her. Yue Hongling stumbled and fell to the ground, already weeping profusely.
"Senior Brother, why are you unwilling to even see me one last time? Why are you so heartless?"
Yue Hongling was heartbroken.
She had cultivated desperately, just to see Lu Ye one last time before he ascended, to let Senior Brother know that she had always been following in his footsteps.
But now, Lu Ye had ultimately not seen her.
Or perhaps, he had heard her cries, but just didn't look back.
The joy the three had felt upon seeing Yue Hongling vanished, leaving only sorrow in their hearts for a moment.
"Alas..."
A single sigh, filled with unspeakable bitterness.
Shangguan Huanling's eyes now held determination.
"Vermillion Bird, take me into the Ten Thousand Soul Banner!"
Her tone was very serious.
Vermillion Bird shook her head, "No need to rush. Just take you in when I'm about to ascend. During this time, try to enhance your soul strength. That way, you can retain more consciousness within the Ten Thousand Soul Banner in the future."
"No!"
Shangguan Huanling, however, refused decisively.
"I have already made up my mind now. Delay will lead to changes. You all must take good care of yourselves. I will die first!"
As her words fell, Shangguan Huanling's aura began to become chaotic, and blood gushed from her mouth and nose.
Self-immolation was a painful thing, filled with great fear.
But Shangguan Huanling resisted the fear at this moment. The Utmost-Emotion Great Path had never been so brilliant as it was now, rapidly surging.
This was actually Shangguan Huanling trying to hold onto herself. When a person is self-immolating, everything wants to hold onto you.
Yue Hongling looked at Shangguan Huanling, her eyes filled with confusion. She still didn't know what had happened.
"Take good care of yourselves!"
Shangguan Huanling left these last words.
"Boom!"
A muffled roar sounded within her body. Her weak Nascent Soul turned into dust at this moment, and all her internal organs shattered.
Her life force came to an abrupt halt, severed on the spot.
Shangguan Huanling's body softly fell down.
"Shangguan Huanling!"
Yue Hongling cried out.
How could she just self-immolate out of nowhere? You should know that it was Shangguan Huanling who saved her when she was self-immolating, telling her that there was still hope for everything. How did it turn out like this now?
Vermillion Bird had already supported Shangguan Huanling's corpse.
The Ten Thousand Soul Banner appeared in her hand.
"You're crazy! How could Shangguan Huanling self-immolate? What did you do to Shangguan Huanling? Why is it like this?" Yue Hongling's eyes were bloodshot as she looked at Vermillion Bird and Sun Ruowei, unable to stop revealing killing intent.
Back then, she had repeatedly pleaded and exhorted, entrusting these two to take good care of Shangguan Huanling, to guide her well, and not let her do foolish things again.
And the result?
Now you two actually guided Shangguan Huanling to self-immolate? Is this how you guided her?
"Hongling, calm down a bit!"
"I can't calm down!"
During this time, Yue Hongling had truly chased with all her might, with all her might!
Even in the Fifth Heaven, even after Yue Hongling ascended, she didn't go to find them, but continued cultivating, cultivating frantically.
The Great Emperor's knowledge from her previous life allowed her to break through her limits again and again, and the reshaping of the Daos of Fearlessness made her advance bravely and diligently.
But now the outcome was actually like this?
"Shangguan Huanling's self-immolation was her own request. She knew she had no way to ascend from the Sixth Heaven to the Seventh Heaven. Without Lu Ye helping her resist the Heavenly Tribulation, she simply had no way to pass through."
"She wants to catch up to Lu Ye, she can only ascend with us. The only way for her to ascend is to become a part of the Ten Thousand Soul Banner and let me take her to ascend!"
"This is the only way, this is the only way, don't you know!"
Vermillion Bird's tone also became heavier. You two have deep sisterly affection, am I heartless?
Now that things have turned out like this, is it her fault?
Yue Hongling is truly like this, whenever a problem arises, she always puts the blame on others first.
She still hasn't changed!
