"Wait, you’re talking and you had to make it rhyme? Who told you I’m best at breaking hearts?"
Ye Yu absolutely refused to carry a pot that wasn’t his.
Besides, Xie Buyu was right here.
They had only just met again, and you open with that? That’s a surefire way to mess up a Daoist partnership.
"No one had to tell me. I can see it myself.
In a single day, two women came to ask me about you.
One of them is completely controlled by obsession.
Enough chatter—come with me and save her first!"
Luo Shu finished and was about to drag Ye Yu away.
But the instant his gaze slid to Xie Buyu, he abruptly stopped.
An Ancient God realm powerhouse—in the past he could have ignored her.
Not now. Whether he could leave or not depended on her.
Controlled by obsession?
Hearing that, Ye Yu immediately knew who it was.
Aside from Liu Yuennong, a Nian Demon, no one else would end up like that.
Back in the dream, Liu Yuennong had said it herself: once a Nian Demon is eroded by obsession, they can easily fall into a ruin with no way back.
That made Ye Yu tense at once.
He turned to Xie Buyu. "Ye Manor is near the Lingdong Mountains. I’ll give you a communication stone. When you arrive, you can contact it and have them bring you home.
I have a matter to handle and can’t accompany you.
Sorry—it really is urgent!"
Ye Yu couldn’t help feeling a little guilty.
He’d said he would bring Xie Buyu back, and now he was going back on his word.
"How about I go with you? Don’t worry, I won’t mind."
Xie Buyu was sharp; from Ye Yu’s expression she could tell.
That person’s relationship with him was anything but ordinary.
Plus, Ye Yu had mentioned there were many parallel worlds; naturally that meant many other Daoist partners.
Xie Buyy didn’t mind.
"Better not. I can go alone—don’t worry."
Ye Yu shook his head, face calm, a bitter smile in his heart.
This isn’t about whether you mind. It’s about whether Liu Yuennong minds.
She’s a Nian Demon, easily tangled by obsession.
In this state, if she saw Ye Yu with another Daoist partner, she might explode on the spot.
So this was something Ye Yu had to handle by himself.
Seeing how firm he was, Xie Buyu didn’t press.
She took the communication stone from Ye Yu’s hand and left.
At Ye Yu’s side, Luo Shu took it all in and silently gave Ye Yu a thumbs-up.
Back in my day I didn’t dare be this bold!
Seeing the Boundary Guardian’s thumbs-up, Ye Yu’s face immediately darkened.
Truly living long enough to see everything.
Since arriving in the God Realm, it had come to the point where even a dog was giving him a thumbs-up.
What a mess.
None of that mattered. What mattered was checking on Liu Yuennong as fast as possible.
She was someone who could charge at the God Venerable realm.
If she was fully controlled by obsession and snapped, the danger would be beyond ordinary imagination.
On the road to Tongtian Pavilion—
Curious, Ye Yu asked why Luo Shu had been in Ancient Sword Gorge.
Luo Shu, helpless, explained.
He’d been out looking for Ye Yu for nearly ten days.
No news at all.
He came to Ancient Sword Gorge just to try his luck.
That day, Luo Shu clearly sensed the sword intent released by Heng Xuanzhen; it came from Ancient Sword Gorge.
If he couldn’t find Ye Yu, maybe Heng Xuanzhen could.
For that reason, he’d come to Ancient Sword Gorge.
By sheer twist of fate, he actually ran into him.
Call it destiny.
At that point, Luo Shu’s expression dimmed.
He warned Ye Yu in all seriousness.
Liu Yuennong was his martial niece. Over the years she’d done many wrong things and even left the Divine Alliance.
Even so, he didn’t want to watch her sink completely.
So he begged Ye Yu—please help.
Ye Yu agreed readily.
And he cleared Liu Yuennong’s name.
"Actually, Yuennong never left Tongtian Pavilion. She never did anything wrong. You misunderstood her.
She bottled up everything to protect her master Bai Hong’s final reputation."
At those words, Luo Shu’s face changed on the spot.
He stopped moving and stood where he was.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing much. Let Liu Yuennong tell you herself. Even if I said it now, you wouldn’t believe it.
We only just met. ‘Trust’ is a little premature, isn’t it?"
Ye Yu smiled.
In the dream, no matter what he said, Luo Shu would have believed him without hesitation.
But in the real world—
They had only just met.
If he revealed that Bai Hong’s evil-thought incarnation existed, how could Luo Shu possibly believe him?
After a moment’s thought,
Luo Shu nodded, thoughtful.
The two set out again, heading for the far north.
As they drew near, a strong stench of blood hit them.
Tongtian Pavilion was in a sparsely populated region to begin with.
And a stench this thick wasn’t something one or two gods could cause.
Ye Yu and Luo Shu exchanged a look and raised their guard.
They slowed.
Roughly three thousand meters from Tongtian Pavilion, they saw the source.
Hundreds of godly corpses and dozens of dead divine beasts were floating in the air.
As if held by some force.
They couldn’t fall, only hang quietly in midair.
Looking ahead, the region was swallowed by darkness; space itself was wildly distorted.
Ye Yu and Luo Shu could feel it clearly: a cold, twisted aura was swelling without end.
"In just a few days, Liu Yuennong’s obsession has grown to this level. Unbelievable.
If this goes on, in theory, it could swallow the entire God Realm."
Shock filled Luo Shu’s voice.
From his perspective, among the fallen gods and divine beasts were no shortage of powerhouses.
Yet before Liu Yuennong’s obsession, they had no power to fight back.
Whether they wandered in by mistake or came because they sensed an anomaly—
It proved one thing: the present Liu Yuennong was extremely dangerous.
Ye Yu arched a brow. Swallow the whole God Realm—impressive on paper.
But the God Realm crawled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers.
Long before she managed such a thing, a God Venerable would mark her.
At that point, no one would care whether she was controlled by obsession.
They would use the simplest solution.
They would cut Liu Yuennong down.
