Chapter 518 Seeking Death

The people of Tianmen watched as Shangguan Huanling frantically charged toward Tianmen's defensive array.

Their scalps tingled with dread.

Was this the sect master's cultivation partner from his past life?

Tsk... Though they knew it was disrespectful to criticize the sect master, they couldn't help but want to complain!

This sect master... truly had the patience of a saint in his past life!

"Crash!"

Shangguan Huanling slammed fiercely into the grand array. Even though the array's light had some elasticity, it still buckled slightly from the impact. Shangguan Huanling was immediately left with a bloodied head, her neck nearly broken from the collision.

The Tianmen disciples drew sharp breaths.

Though Lu Ye had already given orders, they still felt the need to report this situation.

After all, no one truly knew what Lu Ye's true feelings toward this woman were.

Was this some dramatic "chase-your-man-through-hell" routine?

Fortunately, Shangguan Huanling's cultivation was low. Just as she prepared to charge a second time, the Tianmen experts moved instantly and restrained her.

Shangguan Huanling, her face covered in blood, thrashed impotently.

She had gone completely mad.

"Let me go! Bring Lu Ye out to see me! Bring him out to see me!"

"Uh, you should calm down first..."

Someone attempted to placate her.

"I can't calm down! Make him come out and see me!"

"Tell him I'll end my life! If he doesn't come out, I'll kill myself—right now!"

At this moment, Shangguan Huanling seemed positively deranged.

It was as if the Shangguan Huanling from his past life had returned from the grave—or perhaps she had always been like this, never changing.

At Lu Ye's closed-door meditation chamber.

"Sect Master, one of those three women from before has lost her mind and is demanding to see you. Following your orders, we didn't let her in, but she's been hurling herself at the grand array, trying to die on it."

Hearing this, Lu Ye perked up with interest.

"Did she die?"

"Uh... Fengling subdued her. She didn't die."

"Tell Fengling to stand down. Let her die if she wants to."

"Sect Master... This time, she *really* seems dead set on dying. I could see the death wish in her eyes."

"Good riddance. I've already said—ignore her!"

"Uh, alright... Then I’ll be going."

The Celestial Gate disciple bolted away.

Upon receiving Lu Ye's command, Fengling hesitated but finally let go of Shangguan Huanling without protest.

She’d wanted to say something, but in the end, she remained silent.

The Celestial Lord—once the sect master—had even been reborn against his will. From the memories that once lit up the skies, Lu Ye had truly suffered greatly.

Shangguan Huanling had brought this on herself.

Fengling disappeared.

Shangguan Huanling paused, stunned.

No one was holding her back now?

Even Lu Ye wasn’t stopping her?

Fine!

Just fine!

Then she’d just bash her brains out right here!

Shangguan Huanling hurled herself at it again.

"Crash!"

"Ow... so dizzy..."

Shangguan Huanling swayed dizzily, her head drenched in blood, her bones were crushed from the force—yet she still couldn’t die.

After all, she was a cultivator. Dying from crashing was pretty hard, especially since the formation had some elasticity.

Enraged, Shangguan Huanling threw herself at it once more.

Still, she didn’t die.

Instead, she only grew dizzier, barely able to float.

Finally unable to take it, Fengling kindly reminded her.

"Um, if you really want to end your life, you don’t have to keep crashing into the formation. You’re just making a mess of it. Why not just blow yourself up? Faster that way."

Shangguan Huanling tilted her head and stared at Fengling.

Fengling looked dead serious.

Shangguan Huanling...

After a few tries, she had already realized this method wouldn’t force Lu Ye to appear.

"Go get Lu Ye, now! If he keeps ignoring me, I’ll go shack up with someone else—and he’ll lose me forever!"

The moment these words left her mouth, the Celestial Gate disciples’ faces went grim.

Trying to cuckold the sect master?

There's no need for the Sect Master to intervene—they can take care of this reckless woman themselves!

Whether the Sect Master cares doesn't matter.

But the Sect Master's reputation must never be tarnished. If his reputation is damaged, so is that of the Heavenly Gate.

In the future, whenever people across the Nine Heavens mention the Heavenly Gate, the first thought that comes to mind would be, "Oh, that sect whose leader got cheated on!"

No one would bother investigating whether Lu Ye had truly moved on or not. Rumors spread like wildfire, and repeated slander can ruin a person completely.

"If I kill her and the Sect Master blames me, I'll bear all responsibility!"

A tall figure emerged, his gaze turning icy.

In reality, such cuckolding behavior is exceedingly rare in the cultivation world.

First, because cultivators possess exceptional physical prowess, dissatisfaction in such matters is practically unheard of.

Second, most cultivators maintain a disciplined and restrained approach in such matters.

Third, such affairs inevitably lead to fights to the death—there are no legal constraints here.

Fourth, do they really think the Hehuan Sect is just for show?

Rare as it may be, it's not entirely nonexistent—after all, some people live for the thrill.

Li Tianfeng swooped down, glaring at Shangguan Huanling with murderous intent, his heavy sword already—
