Su Yao’s words instantly quieted the previously lively scene.
All eyes turned to Ye Yu.
In their gazes, there was nervousness, anxiety, but more than anything, a sense of apprehension.
If Ye Yu chose to stay in the human realm, that would naturally be wonderful—they could accompany their husband from this moment on.
But now, after much diligent cultivation,
all the ladies had reached the Ascension Realm, with most already at its peak, just one step away from ascending to the Heavenly Realm.
If Ye Yu truly stayed,
how long could they accompany him?
Though they could suppress their realms,
any slight insight might cause them to ascend right away.
Wouldn’t that mean being separated from their husband by two worlds once more?
Yet if their husband chose to go to the Heavenly Realm,
they feared ending up like some ladies,
stuck at the peak of the Ascension Realm, unable to progress.
That near-step-but-not-quite feeling was deeply painful.
Yes, those “some ladies” were Li Ruowang and Hongluan.
They were the most anxious, secretly clutching their sleeves and looking toward Ye Yu with hopeful eyes.
Ye Yu quickly responded,
“The Heavenly Realm is definitely where I’ll return.
Our future home will ultimately be the Heavenly Realm.
But the Boundary Pearl has been destroyed, and how to return—I haven’t figured that out yet.”
At this, Ye Yu sighed deeply.
It truly was troubling.
Hongluan and Li Ruowang suddenly brightened.
Not knowing how to return?
That meant Ye Yu would stay in the human realm for some time.
For them, that was good news.
They could pour out their longing to their husband,
and hopefully, during this time,
gather insights and exchange cultivation experiences,
and perhaps ascend to the Heavenly Realm together with their husband,
thus truly accompanying each other.
In fact, it wasn’t only Hongluan and Li Ruowang who thought this way.
All the celestial ladies present shared the sentiment.
Some, sharp and scheming, had already begun calculating
how to secure today’s priority claim.
Ye Yu took a deep breath, just about to speak,
when he suddenly noticed Li Ruowang, Gan Zhizui, and others looking at him strangely.
Huh?
What did that mean?
...
Northern Heavenly Realm
Lu Ning and Jiang Jinhe had been searching for Ye Yu over a vast area for a long time, but found no trace.
They grew increasingly anxious.
When they had transmitted earlier,
the three had stood together.
Why after arriving in the Heavenly Realm,
was Ye Yu the only one to disappear?
As time passed and more places were searched,
their disappointment grew.
Jiang Jinhe became more and more impatient.
For her, as long as she could be with Ye Yu,
even coming to the Heavenly Realm was fine.
But now that she was in the Heavenly Realm,
and Ye Yu was nowhere to be found,
what was the meaning of her arrival?
She might as well have died in the Monster Realm!
Noticing Jiang Jinhe’s demon aura growing wild,
Lu Ning comforted her, “Don’t worry, maybe something went wrong during the transmission.
Husband once told me his dojo is in the middle of the Heavenly Realm,
called Wu Wei Tower.
We can wait for him there first.”
Jiang Jinhe struggled to calm her anxiety, saying solemnly,
“How can we go to Wu Wei Tower if we don’t even know where we are?”
“Just ask someone!”
Lu Ning began scanning the surroundings with divine sense and soon spotted an immortal flying through the air.
She immediately led Jiang Jinhe to follow.
“Greetings, fellow immortal. May I ask how to get to Wu Wei Tower in the middle of the Heavenly Realm?”
Youzi Fei was startled by the sudden appearance of two figures.
He was about to lose his temper,
but upon seeing two beautiful women,
his mood immediately softened.
Just as he was about to speak,
he frowned.
From these two women’s auras, he sensed no ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) immortal energy.
Instead, there was a wild, fierce aura—
similar to the legendary demon aura.
Youzi Fei tentatively asked,
“You two don’t seem to be immortals, but demon clan?”
Hearing this,
Lu Ning and Jiang Jinhe didn’t answer immediately.
But their subconscious expressions already gave Youzi Fei his answer.
Tsk tsk, really the legendary demon clan.
Interesting!
The Six Realms’ passages had been closed for a long time—
how did these two demon immortals arrive in the Heavenly Realm?
Youzi Fei was very curious but did not directly ask.
Instead, he forced a kind smile.
“No need to be nervous, fellow demon friends.
Since you’ve come to the Heavenly Realm, you are part of it.
You want to go to Wu Wei Tower, right?
I happen to be passing that way.
I can take you there!”
Jiang Jinhe frowned slightly.
Are all immortals in the Heavenly Realm this easy to talk to?
Lu Ning quickly said, “Really? What a coincidence!”
“A coincidence, yes, but also fate.
Immortals value fate above all!
Meeting is fate; why not travel together? It’s good to have company.”
Youzi Fei’s voice was even more gentle,
looking truly like a warm-hearted immortal.
But in truth, he already had his own plan.
As an elder of the Three Corps Hall, Youzi Fei was ruthless.
Meeting two demon immortals was a rare opportunity he would not miss.
He planned to lure them to the Three Corps Hall headquarters in central Heavenly Realm,
and summon other immortals to capture them together.
Then thoroughly study how these demon immortals entered the Heavenly Realm.
If successful, the Hall Master would surely reward him handsomely!
Heh heh heh!
Of course, this was the milder approach.
Why not just confront them directly?
Youzi Fei was an immortal, not a fool.
Once ranked at the top of the Heavenly Realm two months ago,
but since the awakening of the Immortal King Su,
he knew Immortal Lords were no longer invincible.
He must act cautiously.
Youzi Fei clearly sensed the strong aura from the silent demon immortal before him.
This was definitely a Demon King Realm existence.
If it came to a head-on fight, he might not win.
Hence, this plan.
The method didn’t matter, only the result.
After agreeing on everything,
Youzi Fei prepared to lead the way.
But Lu Ning transmitted quietly to Jiang Jinhe,
“Kill him!”
Hearing these three words, Jiang Jinhe looked incredulous.
Lu Ning stopped hiding and said bluntly,
“Kill him!”
Youzi Fei looked back in disbelief, then instinctively tried to flee.
Seeing this, Jiang Jinhe acted immediately.
Due to their vast difference in realm,
she quickly killed Youzi Fei on the spot.
Afterwards, Jiang Jinhe asked,
“Why did you kill him?”
