Chapter 479: Yin Qingcheng’s Plea for Help

"Ahem!"

Lu Ye spat out a mouthful of blood, then sat cross-legged, closing his eyes to regulate his breathing.

The blast from self-detonation was still devastating!

But fortunately, his injuries weren’t too severe.

Fifteen minutes of meditation should heal him completely.

Seeing Lu Ye vanish, the Forgetful Immortal Palace scrambled back to discuss countermeasures. Everyone knew Lu Ye would never let this go.

Because from the First Heaven to now, this was exactly the kind of person he had shown himself to be.

"What should we do?" someone asked, looking at Elder Hanling.

None of the factions allied with the Forgetful Immortal Palace dared to show their faces now. There was no helping it—this was Lu Ye!

A man who held grudges like life debts, and a specialist in exterminating whole bloodlines.

The Forgetful Immortal Palace had brought this calamity upon themselves. After all, they had acted against him in the *Forgetful Sea*—did they really think that just because they hadn’t struck directly, he wouldn’t come for them?

Naïve fools—this was Lu Ye!

Elder Hanling frowned deeply.

What could they do?

Send for backup!

First, contact Yin Qingcheng!

The group quickly returned to the Forgetful Immortal Palace. After the blitz of a battle, the palace lay in ruins, its former beauty gone.

In truth, the Forgetful Immortal Palace had many allied factions, largely because many of them were the palace’s son-in-laws.

The women of the Forgetful Immortal Palace were drop-dead gorgeous, and once they fell for someone, they loved fiercely and truly. As a result, for those seeking a Dao companion, the Forgetful Immortal Palace was the top choice.

Moreover, the women of the Forgetful Immortal Palace were innocent and true-hearted.

"For a lifelong partner, go to the Forgetful Immortal Palace."

"For a fling, hit up the Hehuan Sect."

This was an open secret of the Sixth Heaven.

Yet now, not one son-in-law dared show his face—all because their opponent was Lu Ye!

Yin Qingcheng soon received the news.

"What? Lu Ye attacked you?" Yin Qingcheng went white as a sheet upon hearing the report.

"You said he wouldn’t act—what the hell happened? Just that one battle wiped out sixteen elders in one go!" Elder Hanling was furious.

"How could he attack you? In his previous incarnation, his relationship with the Forgetful Immortal Palace was thick as thieves—how could he raise a hand against you?" Yin Qingcheng said, unable to accept it.

"That was then—this is now. He’s already made his move. Tell me, what should we do?" Elder Hanling snapped.

Since Lu Ye had acted, it was clear he had torched every shred of past goodwill.

That's right! Lu Ye has lost himself, which is why he attacked the Detached Immortal Palace.

Yin Qingcheng quickly pondered.

What to do? What to do?

How would she know what to do?

She couldn’t persuade Lu Ye.

Moreover, formations and stealth were futile against Lu Ye.

"Either contact the Immortal Venerable and have him intervene—after all, Lu Ye owes Detached Immortal Venerable a favor from his past life. If the Immortal Venerable speaks up, he will surely be willing to repay it!"

"Or the only other option is to escape beyond this realm!"

Yin Qingcheng was indeed clever, quickly devising two plans.

And these solutions were truly viable.

"How do we contact the Immortal Venerable?" Frost Spirit Sage asked.

Indeed, the Detached Immortal Palace had no way to reach Detached Immortal Venerable.

Usually, they were just using his name for prestige.

"I have a way. Wait a moment!"

Yin Qingcheng knew how to contact Detached Immortal Venerable, and she had already found the medium for communication.

After severing her link with Frost Spirit Sage, Yin Qingcheng immediately took out three incense sticks and lit them, then brought out a tattered meditation mat.

This mat was once used by the Detached Immortal Venerable, and it held great importance to him.

In truth, Detached Immortal Venerable had not originally cultivated the Dao of Detachment, but rather the Path of Ultimate Devotion. However, his beloved had perished, lost forever.

He endured daily suffering, ceaseless torment.

He wanted to join his beloved in death, but before passing, his beloved had begged him to live well—to thrive—so that perhaps one day, she might see him again.

Ultimate affection without love—an unbearable agony.

With no other choice, Detached Immortal Venerable turned to the Dao of Detachment, cutting off all emotion entirely.

First, ultimate affection, then detachment—this propelled him to ascend rapidly, reaching the Celestial Lord realm at a relatively young age.

Pale smoke spiraled upward.

Suddenly, it surged into the meditation mat.

At that moment, an immense presence flooded Yin Qingcheng’s mind.

"This junior, Yin Qingcheng of the Detached Immortal Palace, greets the Immortal Venerable!"

Yin Qingcheng spoke urgently.

"Hmm. What troubles you?" Detached Immortal Venerable’s voice was soft, carrying an air of gentleness.

"Immortal Venerable, the Detached Immortal Palace is currently under attack by a formidable enemy. Might the Celestial Lord deign to intervene and issue an edict to save the Detached Immortal Palace?" Yin Qingcheng implored urgently.

The Forgetful Immortal Venerable's voice stayed quiet.

"Do you know what my title means?" the Forgetful Immortal Venerable asked.

Yin Qingcheng's heart sank inside.

"The title is... Forgetful Immortal Venerable."

"Since you know, why do you still seek my help?" the Forgetful Immortal Venerable questioned.

Yin Qingcheng...

"Immortal Venerable, you originated from the Forgetful Immortal Palace. Don't you feel anything for it at all?" Yin Qingcheng asked.

"None," the Forgetful Immortal Venerable stated firmly.

"But in my past life, when I suffered terrible wounds and my true spirit was nearly destroyed, you saved me precisely because I was a disciple of the Forgetful Immortal Palace!"

Only then did the Forgetful Immortal Venerable finally show a flicker of interest.
