Chapter 360 Silly Woman

Chapter 360: The Foolish Woman

“I’m sorry, I…”

“No need. Consider it my fault for misjudging people.”

Qing Yao parted her lips, her eyes reddened, and tears rolled down. Her heart ached, feeling that he was blaming her and could not forgive her.

Eventually, the young man left. After casting a cold glance at the Butian Sect powerhouses, he and a woman in white robes departed without looking back.

In the dream, it was their second separation, but it was not beautiful; it was even filled with resentment and regret.

Since then, whenever Qing Yao thought of it, she would be filled with self-reproach, feeling that she had harmed him and caused him to suffer such tribulations.

“Oh, Pretty Sister is crying. Is she having a nightmare?” Lin Fan wondered, holding the Human Emperor Banner, thinking it had worked.

However, her eyes remained tightly shut, her brows furrowed, as if she had only dreamt of something unpleasant.

“Alas…” The Butian Sect Leader sighed, saying nothing.

If life were only a first meeting, or no meeting at all, perhaps it would be better, at least it wouldn't entangle one's heart…

Year after year, flowers bloomed and withered. In the Three Thousand Provinces, prodigies who had survived from the Immortal Ancient era became renowned throughout the world.

Some even surpassed Heavenly Gods, becoming Master Level figures.

Unfortunately, after so many years, there was no news of the person who won the championship, as if he had vanished into thin air.

Eighty years passed in a flash.

Until one day, a blazing long rainbow streaked across the Upper Realm, directly reaching a certain province. It was so dazzling, connecting the two shores of the starry sky.

“What is that? A golden grand Dao, why is it so long?”

“It stretches from the outer starry sky. Is this… a Supreme traveling?!”

The starlight was brilliant. A young man stood above the divine rainbow, taking a single step, and the stars shifted, instantly arriving before a mountain gate.

“Oh no, he’s come to our Butian Sect!”

In an instant, all the high-ranking members of the Butian Sect were alarmed. They activated the Chaos grand array, and everyone ascended to the sky to gaze into the distance.

“What, it’s you!”

Finally, someone saw clearly the man standing on the golden grand Dao, appearing like an immortal or a devil, filled with disbelief.

“You’ve returned… Are you well?” Qing Yao’s voice trembled as she stared at the newcomer, her emotions complex, tinged with guilt.

“I’ve come… to collect a debt!” The man’s words were concise, yet they sent a chill through everyone, as if they had fallen into Hell.

That young man, whom they had imprisoned back then, had grown up, surpassed Heavenly Gods, and now came to settle accounts.

“You little beast, you’re not dead, and you still dare to come to my Butian Sect? Haven’t you learned enough from the past lesson?” Luo Sen spoke.

It was he who had imprisoned him back then, acting quite domineeringly.

“Boom!”

The man said nothing, merely releasing a wisp of Qi, which crushed mountains, caused stars to fall, and made heaven and earth lose their color.

In an instant, the entire Butian Sect’s grand array shattered, and everyone fell to their knees on the ground, trembling.

They were horrified, their backs soaked with sweat. How many years had it been, and he had grown to this extent?

“You… you’ve become a Supreme!” Luo Sen was utterly shocked, speaking with difficulty.

“Today, for revenge, I will begin the massacre with you!” The Devil Emperor raised his hand, crushing Luo Sen into a pulp as if he were squashing an ant.

“Ah…”

The man cried out, filled with immense regret. Why hadn't he just killed him back then, letting that white-robed woman take him away?

But now, nothing he said mattered. The other party had already become a Supreme being, looking down upon the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, capable of dictating anyone's life or death.

Luo Sen’s Primordial Spirit tried to escape, but it was likewise crushed, completely annihilated.

Seeing this, many people were dumbfounded. That was a Master Level figure, yet he was so easily killed.

Everyone felt a chill. The newcomer was truly too strong, instilling despair in people’s hearts.

When Qing Yao saw him come knocking, she was filled with mixed emotions. She never expected this day to come so quickly.

They had once shared life and death, traveled together, and developed affection, yet they had reached this point. Her heart was heavy.

“Pfft!”

The Devil Emperor made his move. In fact, it wasn't even a real move; merely the Supreme might he emitted caused more than half of the Butian Sect Cultivators to die or be injured.

The Butian Sect Leader couldn't move at all, lying on the ground, unable to do anything, watching his Disciples die helplessly.

Now, a wave of fear enveloped everyone’s hearts. Their Butian Sect might be erased from the Upper Realm.

“Stop… stop, please stop. The others are innocent; it has nothing to do with those Disciples. If you want to settle scores, just kill me. It’s all my fault, I shouldn’t have been with you…”

Qing Yao pleaded, her beautiful eyes red, her eyes brimming with tears.

Outside.

“Damn it, the Butian Sect did such a thing, why haven’t they been annihilated yet, making Pretty Sister suffer…”

Lin Fan cursed, having seen some events from Qing Yao’s dream through the Human Emperor Banner.

The Butian Sect members were embarrassed. They wanted to remind him to watch his language, but the words caught in their throats. They didn't know how to speak.

Some of the things they had done in the past were indeed unethical, especially in front of outsiders, which brought a sense of shame.

“Fellow Daoist, your branch truly has guts to provoke this person. It’s a miracle you’re still alive.”

The Elder from Butian Path was terrified, never expecting that a branch in the Lower Realm had once caused such a huge disaster.

One must know that the Devil Emperor was actually one of the Holy Emperor’s incarnations. Offending him was like an old man hanging himself, tired of living.

The old man secretly wiped his sweat, fortunate that the Butian Path of the Nine Heavens wasn’t implicated, otherwise, they would all be finished.

Bringing up old matters, the Butian Sect Leader’s old face flushed. He sighed, “It’s also my fault for being blind. During my seclusion, I handed over the sect’s affairs to such a scoundrel, almost leading to the annihilation of the sect.”

In the dream.

Corpses lay everywhere, with shattered bones and flesh, blood staining the mountains and lakes, emitting a pungent, bloody smell.

All of this was undoubtedly a nightmare for Qing Yao. She was caught in the middle, feeling very uncomfortable.

“I… I’m sorry, but if you want to annihilate the sect, then step over my corpse first.”

No matter what was said, this man was captured because of her and treated that way, imprisoned and tortured. It was only right for him to do whatever he deemed fit.

However, the Butian Sect was her home… As the Saintess, she had an obligation to protect it and advance and retreat with the sect.

“Are you, once again, preparing to use our feelings to make me spare the Butian Sect?”

“Again?” Qing Yao’s head vaguely throbbed, feeling that something was amiss.

“After so many years, you’re still an idiot, so foolish that you can’t even distinguish between dream and reality.”

The man waved his hand, and the world spun. The dream changed dramatically; mountains disappeared, blood vanished, and they returned to the time of their first meeting.

“We met, we reunited, it’s all very familiar, right? Because we are in a dream.”

“You…” Qing Yao stared at the scene before her in surprise, speechless.

This familiar tone, was she truly dreaming, and not crossing through time and space to see him again?

The man shook his head and said, “Heh heh, do you think I’m dead?”

Qing Yao nodded blankly. His death during the Immortal Ascension Tribulation was not a secret in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths; many people knew.

“I told you you’re a foolish woman, and you still don’t believe me. Take the Forgetful Medicinal Pill, and what you’ve forgotten will be remembered, those who left will return, everything can change!”

“But, the world doesn’t know, don’t you know? Don’t forget, this Medicinal Pill was actually developed by me…”
