Chapter 48: Suzaku’s Hatred

"Ding ding ding, dog host, they're here."

The Heavenly Spirit Pond, picturesque in its scenery.

After a loud shout, the system directly closed the light screen.

It was somewhat excited because watching the melon-eating from a distance on the light screen projection was not as real and enjoyable as being on the scene.

"You even eat my melon?" Lu Ye raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Ding, yours is the most fragrant and sweet!"

Lu Ye...

To see or not to see, this is a question worth pondering.

When Yue Hongling arrives, it's mostly another scene of weeping, heartache, and regret for the past.

It shouldn't be much different from Chu Ling.

Forget it, the Heavenly Spirit Pond is indeed suitable for cultivation, and he is too lazy to move for the time being.

As the system said, the path of the Dao is long, and it's not always about cultivation. Sometimes, going to see other scenery might as well be a form of cultivation.

Thinking of this, Lu Ye closed his eyes.

He is getting closer and closer to the Void Refining stage, and the restrictions of the Ancient Battlefield of Prodigies will be further lifted. Then, the second batch of prodigies under fifty years old will descend.

Wait a little longer, and the Ancient Battlefield of Prodigies will be completely open.

All prodigies under a hundred years old will arrive, and that will be the biggest event.

On the Eternal Prodigy Leaderboard, what rank will he punch out this time?

Not long after.

The heat of the flames surged.

Approaching rapidly from the horizon.

The Vermilion Bird's sharp eyes instantly caught sight of Lu Ye's figure, and her heart couldn't help but tremble.

It's him!

The Vermilion Bird's heart was entangled with mixed feelings for a moment.

Initially, her acquaintance with Lu Ye was when he saved her.

The Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor sent people to chase her, wanting to obtain the Vermilion Bird's true blood.

Lu Ye saved her, and because she was severely injured, with less than one percent of her strength left, he kept her by his side as a little pet.

Later, she escaped from Lu Ye's control. Although many demons chased her, the Vermilion Bird always believed that the root of the demons' situation lay in those ambitious demon emperors.

Among them, the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor was the most disgusting.

Demons, too, can be good or bad.

If it weren't for the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor leading the demons down a bad path, the demons wouldn't have become like that.

And later, she was saved by Lu Ye again.

At that time, Lu Ye had completely opposed the Demons and had initially become the opponent of the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor.

A great war broke out between the Demons and Humans, with both sides suffering casualties to an unacceptable extent.

Later, Lu Ye finally killed the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor, but the war still did not stop. Perhaps, it could no longer be called a war.

It was a massacre.

Lu Ye claimed that the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor had not completely died but had transformed into countless Demons, each being both themselves and the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor.

So he began to kill!

Kill madly!

Killing to the point where the heavens trembled in fear.

Killing to the point where the Vermilion Bird felt despair.

She believed Lu Ye, thinking he was right, even though it was painful. Compared to the harm caused by the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor, this act of cutting off the infected part to save the whole was necessary.

But the key point was that she later obtained the complete content of the "Myriad Spirits Blood Transformation Demon Scripture."

The methods inside were nothing like what Lu Ye had said about the Myriad Spirits Demon Emperor transforming into countless beings. It was all a lie by Lu Ye.

This was the reason why the Vermilion Bird hated Lu Ye.

What Lu Ye said was not credible; what she found out herself was the truth.

The Vermilion Bird stirred up a scorching wind and gently put Yue Hongling down.

Lu Ye calmly stared at Yue Hongling.

Yue Hongling's current state was too miserable; a large hole was torn in her abdomen, one arm was broken, and her body was covered with numerous wounds, more than dozens.

"Senior brother... senior brother..."

Yue Hongling struggled to move her body, kneeling on the shore of the Heavenly Spirit Pond.

"I was wrong, Hong Ling knows she was wrong."

"It was my fault!"

Yue Hongling cried very sadly, her forehead pressed against the ground on the shore, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Lu Ye's face.

A perverse sense of pleasure emerged in his heart.

Lu Ye actually thought it through clearly. In his previous life, he thought he had people to protect and love by his side, which were the motivations that drove him to become the strongest.

After such a profound betrayal.

He could kill all eight women, and then what?

Alone, with no attachments, he didn't know if he really had the perseverance to go to the end and see the scenery at the peak.

It was also possible that on the way to the peak, he might suddenly feel indifferent, that it was meaningless, which would be the real heart demon.

And how much better is it now?

He keeps cultivating, firstly to leave all these women behind, and secondly to witness their fates.

With these two things as his support and motivation, Lu Ye can continuously improve.

Perhaps, at a certain stage, he can have a moment of release, transcend betrayal, and find a new life, a new beginning.

At least, he can't do that now.

"Senior brother, will you forgive me? I know you love me the most, just treat it as me being capricious. I promise you, I will never make the same mistake again, I will listen to you obediently and believe in you."

"Senior brother, forgive me this last time. You could tolerate me before, you can do it this time too, right?"

"Senior brother..."

Yue Hongling's voice was filled with pitifulness.

She had some fantasies, imagining that her senior brother could forgive her like before.

Lu Ye originally wanted to tease her, but suddenly felt it was meaningless.

So he simply turned to look at Vermilion Bird.

Vermilion Bird instinctively took a step back.

Then she reacted, what is there to step back for? So she returned to her previous position.

"What poison did you give me in my previous life?" Lu Ye asked.

Vermilion Bird was stunned.

We’ve been reborn, why ask about the previous life?

Does he want to make me fall for him again by bringing up the past?

He’s dreaming!

"The poison I gave you was extremely vicious. Didn’t you want to kill? You killed so many of my Demon clan in one go, so I gave you the Slaughter Lotus Heart, to let you kill to your heart’s content. What do you think?" Vermilion Bird said with a somewhat ferocious expression.

Slaughter Lotus Heart?

Lu Ye's expression froze.

Well, well, everyone is really good at playing.

The Slaughter Lotus Heart is the heart of the Slaughter Lotus, a treasure of the Asura Emperor Clan, and the former weapon of the Asura God Emperor, capable of controlling the world's slaughter.

This thing isn’t poisonous.

It just stimulates the desire to kill, and a very strong one at that.

So, once the Slaughter Lotus Heart starts to take effect, one's desire to kill will reach its peak, even to the point of losing control.

Having gotten the answer he wanted.

Lu Ye spoke, "Get lost!"

"From now on, never appear before me again, and I will forgive you."

This was said to Yue Hongling.

"Senior brother!"

Lu Ye raised his head, and a sword qi arrived in an instant.

Vermilion Bird was shocked and quickly pulled Yue Hongling away.

The sword qi left a deep mark on the ground.

If Vermilion Bird hadn't pulled her away, this strike would have been enough to kill Yue Hongling.

"Are you insane!"

Vermilion Bird looked at Lu Ye in disbelief.

Yue Hongling was his most cherished junior sister!

He actually went for the kill!
