Immortal after a Hundred Reincarnations

Seeing this, Hui Kun’s eyes filled with hatred and his face twisted with unwillingness, but in the end, he had no choice but to retreat.

After all, Jingchun was now guarded by Zhao Xin’s martial aunt.

His ranged attacks were essentially ineffective.

He couldn’t even touch a single hair on Jingchun’s head.

He couldn’t achieve his goal of disrupting the Crossing of the Tribulation.

If he died just like that, it would be a meaningless death.

Naturally, there was no need to fight Xu Lei to the death.

Besides, his current strength was slightly weaker than Xu Lei’s.

If he truly fought Xu Lei, he would be the one to die in the end.

Seeing Hui Kun retreat, Xu Lei didn’t give chase.

This was because Hui Kun’s Cultivation was also at the Bodhisattva Core Realm.

After all, Xu Lei’s Magical Power could be inherited in his next life.

So, he naturally didn’t want a mutually destructive fight with this old fellow.

Of course, the old man hadn’t actually gone far. He was still lingering at a distance.

Therefore, Xu Lei didn’t return to Jingchun’s side.

Instead, he remained where he was, blocking Hui Kun’s path.

「A short while later.」

Seeing that the saboteur had been dealt with, Jingchun didn’t bother moving to another location.

She began Crossing the Tribulation right then and there.

Xu Lei couldn’t see the specific scene of her tribulation.

He could only see bolts of lightning continuously striking down from the sky in that direction.

Xu Lei turned his head to watch.

He couldn’t help but feel nervous.

’Sister-in-law, you have to succeed!’ he prayed inwardly.

Hui Kun also watched from afar.

But he didn’t dare get too close.

After all, Xu Lei was still standing in the way.

「More than ten minutes later.」

Suddenly, a blood-curdling scream rang out.

It was followed by the sound of an explosion.

The lightning in the sky slowly dissipated.

"No!"

Xu Lei trembled, his eyes growing moist.

Because this commotion was very similar to what happened when Daoist Chun Yuan failed his tribulation.

"Sister-in-law!"

Xu Lei then stepped onto his Locust Leaf Flying Ship and flew back swiftly.

"Master! No!"

"Senior Sister!"

But before he even arrived, he heard the grief-stricken cries of Zhao Xin and her martial aunt.

In that instant, Xu Lei’s heart lurched. He knew his earlier judgment was correct.

Jingchun had indeed failed.

"HAHAHAHA."

Seeing this, Hui Kun, in the distance, roared with laughter. "A good failure, a good failure!

All of you deserve to die!

Heaven has eyes! Heaven has eyes! HAHAHA!"

This made Xu Lei’s Locust Leaf Flying Ship pause for a moment.

He turned in mid-air to look at Hui Kun.

Xu Lei’s eyes were bloodshot.

A shiver ran through Hui Kun.

But Xu Lei didn’t do anything to Hui Kun at that moment.

He quickly resumed his course toward Jingchun’s location.

By now, Jingchun had already vanished.

Only Zhao Xin and her martial aunt remained, sorrowfully holding a box.

Zhao Xin’s martial aunt continuously used her Magical Power to gather the surrounding dust and place it into the box.

"She failed?"

Xu Lei’s voice trembled. "Didn’t you say the preparations were thorough?

Didn’t you say this was the best time for her to be Crossing the Tribulation?

That she was most likely to succeed?

Why did it turn out like this?"

"Crossing Tribulation and Attaining Dao,"

Zhao Xin’s martial aunt sighed, "was never meant to be easy."

"Uncle Hui Chi, before Master started Crossing the Tribulation, she told me to tell you that she thanks you."

Zhao Xin said, wiping away her tears, "Thank you for being her Dharma Protector.

Thank you for being so good to her all these years.

She actually felt that she owed you.

Over the years, your relationship was definitely not an ordinary one.

But she herself didn’t know if what she felt for you was love.

Because her heart was first occupied by her husband, Hui Lu—"

Xu Lei just listened, his eyes moist.

’What can be done? She failed her tribulation... And what can be done? In the end, she never fell in love with me. Even though I possessed her body so completely, I once believed that with the passage of time, her heart would one day belong to me too. But it seems that day never came.’

But Xu Lei only felt a touch of sorrow and didn’t dwell on it too much.

The three of them then departed, of course.

By the time they left, Hui Kun was gone.

Afterward, Xu Lei and the other two buried Jingchun’s ashes together with Hui Lu’s body.

Just as Jingchun had said she wanted.

「In the blink of an eye, three more years passed.」

「On this day.」

Zhao Xin came to say goodbye to Xu Lei.

Now, Zhao Xin, whose Cultivation was progressing smoothly, still retained her graceful charm.

But Xu Lei looked even older than he had three years ago.

"Uncle Hui Chi, I’m leaving. I’m going to a secret location in the Daoist Sect to cultivate."

She said, "Once I go, I might not come back."

Before Xu Lei could say anything,

"Although I haven’t fallen for someone else,"

Zhao Xin continued, "I can’t say that I won’t in the future.

There’s no telling.

But... right now... I really... I don’t think... I love you anymore.

So today, this isn’t just a normal farewell.

I’m leaving you."

Xu Lei was stunned at first, but then he simply nodded.

He smiled, accepted her farewell, and offered his blessings.

’It’s perfectly normal. When a man gets old, he can’t expect others to love him as much as they did when he was young.’

Xu Lei was quite philosophical about it and wasn’t particularly sad or heartbroken.

"Uncle Hui Chi, this is goodbye."

Zhao Xin’s eyes also grew moist as she added, "Xin’er... is leaving!

You have to take care of yourself from now on!"

With that, she turned and walked away.

Xu Lei silently watched her retreating figure.

He couldn’t help but remember the passionate, lively, and lovely girl from all those years ago, her face always radiant with a smile.

Now, she no longer loved Xu Lei.

Her love had come suddenly back then, and now her coldness came just as suddenly.

She was once so passionate, and now she was so heartless.
