An Li endured a period of torment.
Her soul was severely injured by the Soul Refining Divine Lightning; after all, the Dark Clan is a family, and within the family, the Family Head's position is supreme. For someone like An Li to directly charge into the Family Head's secluded cultivation area could be considered a great crime.
However, of course, because of An Li's special status, she wouldn't be executed.
Dragging her body covered in bloodstains, her eyes somewhat unfocused, An Li left the place of punishment, completely crawling away.
It truly hurt.
But in her previous life, she was a Great Emperor, and her soul, having carried a Dao Fruit, was still extremely strong, and she recovered quickly.
Even so, An Li still needed more than ten days of recuperation to regain clarity.
Her gaze was terrifying.
It must be said, this was an indomitable person.
Even if she experienced more pain, she would not admit defeat.
An Ri!
His foolishness was simply making An Li gnash her teeth, hating him so much she wanted to peel his skin and pull out his tendons.
Why did the Dark Clan have such a Family Head?
Why wouldn't he listen to her?
She had told him clearly to come directly to her if there was a problem, but now he was simply nowhere to be seen.
What secluded cultivation?
He was fooling an idiot!
So close to the cultivation room, even an ordinary person would have heard her shout, but An Ri had not shown any reaction even now.
An Ri did indeed hear it.
But what did the Darkness Origin defecting to Lu Ye have to do with him?
He didn't even know the Darkness Origin.
In his opinion, An Li was simply insane.
A lunatic!
Wouldn't it be fine to just wait patiently for Lu Ye to advance to Quasi-Emperor? Why cause so much trouble?
An Li, however, was unwilling to sit and wait for death.
Since An Ri wouldn't handle it, she would go out and inform everyone in the world that the Darkness Origin had defected to Lu Ye. This way, the existence of the Darkness Origin would definitely be known, at least the Gaitian Great Emperor could know.
An Li's injuries were mostly healed, and she immediately wanted to leave the Dark Clan.
But upon reaching the Dark Clan's gate, she was stopped again.
"Stop!"
An Li took a deep breath.
"I need to go out and purchase some items for cultivation, is that not allowed?"
"For cultivation supplies, exchange them at the Resource Hall. The Family Head has ordered a complete lockdown of the Dark Clan, you cannot go out!"
An Li???
"I just need to go out to handle something!"
"That's not allowed either. No matter what you need to do, you cannot violate the Family Head's order."
"Are you guys insane!"
An Li's emotions instantly collapsed.
"Are you guys crazy? Do you really think everything is fine and dandy just because Lu Ye was hit by the Dark Origin Insect Seal? He is Lu Ye, β NΠΎvΠ΅lΞΉght β (Read the full story) he is the Nine Lives Celestial Venerable. Now that he knows he's been hit by the Dark Origin Insect Seal, he will definitely find a way to remove it. When he truly removes the Dark Origin Insect Seal and advances to the Quasi-Emperor realm, the Dark Clan will be finished, there won't be a sliver of hope for survival!"
An Li screamed like a madwoman, her mindset completely shattered.
Why?
Why did she have to end up with such a family?
Why were the people in this family so foolish?
Why? What is the reason for all of this?
The few strong individuals guarding the gate looked at each other. What was happening? What was all this? Why couldn't they understand?
This An Li, right? She was quite beautiful, but why was she a lunatic?
Forget it.
"The Family Head's order must be obeyed by everyone. If you truly have an urgent matter to go out for, you can go and apply to the Family Head."
An Li...
If I could find that idiot An Ri, would I need you to tell me?
Indeed, Lu Ye was right to curse him, An Ri was a pure idiot!
An Li's chest heaved violently, she was practically going to die of anger.
Good, good, good!
"Then what if I insist on going out?" An Li fiercely wiped away her tears.
The few guards exchanged glances.
"Then we can only send you to the place of punishment."
An Li...
Punishment again, punishment again.
"Hahaha, hahaha..."
An Li started laughing maniacally.
The guards...
Indeed, this was a lunatic.
The next second, An Li directly charged towards the gate, but her strength was simply too weak.
Before she had even rushed out ten meters, she was captured on the spot.
"Disobeying the Family Head's order, forcibly charging the gate, send her to punishment!"
...
Lu Ye did not know what was happening on An Li's side.
The Dark Clan was indeed extremely well hidden, even the Heavenly Dao had no way to investigate the situation inside.
It wasn't that it couldn't investigate; it could if it forced its way, but that would violate the rules and be very bad for this Heaven and Earth.
If Shen Xitong saw An Li's current miserable state, she would probably be overjoyed.
If Lu Ye knew, his lips would probably uncontrollably curl up as well.
Lu Ye was busy right now.
Busy absorbing the Primordial Morning Mist.
Strands of white mist surged into Lu Ye's body, his expression tense, his veins bulging all over, his body constantly trembling.
Pain!
It was too painful!
However, Lu Ye had experienced it before.
He recalled the final scene of his previous life, the betrayal by eight women. The intense heartache simply surpassed all other pain.
Lu Ye had let go.
But after letting go, recalling that scene still brought uncontrollable pain.
In his previous life, he had poured out all his emotions, all his love!
Not only his body, but even his soul, his emotions, his Great Dao, everything he had, he had given to those people, only to be betrayed at the most crucial moment.
It was too painful!
Thinking this way, the pain from the Primordial Morning Mist actually lessened considerably.
Let it hurt!
Let it hurt intensely!
After the pain, he would be able to let go better and more thoroughly.
Lu Ye opened his eyes, his eye sockets blood-red, tears welling up, yet stubbornly refusing to fall.
Lu Ye could somewhat understand why the Relentless Sage's single tear had such a terrifying effect. Because this single tear was not just the compression of extreme emotion, but also the terrifying rhyme of the Great Dao.
It looked like just a tear, but in reality, it could be half a person's life or even an entire lifetime.
Emotions...
The emotions of people, the emotions of all things.
The Primordial Morning Mist continuously surged into Lu Ye's body, being melted and absorbed by his Nascent Soul, becoming a part of Lu Ye's Nascent Soul.
The Primordial Morning Mist had been here for such a long time, yet no one had ever taken it away.
One could only say that Lu Ye was truly a ruthless person.
He absorbed the Primordial Morning Mist day and night without stopping.
The Devouring Dao Beast had been waiting outside all along. It looked at the Primordial Morning Mist with some curiosity. It had, of course, heard of the fame of the Primordial Morning Mist, but how painful was it exactly?
The Devouring Dao Beast couldn't resist and extended its hoof towards the Primordial Morning Mist.
Huh?
It wasn't particularly painful!
The Devouring Dao Beast gathered its courage and stepped forward.
"Ow!"
A huge wail came from the Devouring Dao Beast's mouth. Its fur stood on end, and it even revealed its true form. Its enormous body was even larger than a star, crushing the Void, and it rolled wildly in the chaos.
Celestial... Celestial Venerable...
Awesome!
