Chapter 152: Seizing the Opportunity to Return to the Sect

Who knows if the sinister, dark-misted Human Emperor Banner, after delivering a critical hit, could transform into one radiating majestic purple energy. But one must always have dreams.

Transforming into Homelander, Ye Chen leveled the great hall to the ground, obliterating all traces to prevent anyone from discovering the remnants of the Heavy Pupils.

After wrapping up everything, Ye Chen casually rose to his feet and flew towards the exit of the ruins.

As for where Su Yuxuan went? Ye Chen naturally couldn’t be bothered to look for her. Why should he?

Regarding Su Yuxuan’s immediate decision to flee and her concealment of the Extreme Dao Blood Pupils’ ability to break seals, Ye Chen wasn’t surprised in the slightest. If he genuinely believed that a demoness would stick with him through thick and thin, and accompany him for life, then he’d be a fool.

To Ye Chen, Su Yuxuan was merely a means to gain rewards and bring some fleeting joy.

Exiting the ruins was quick. It took only three days to emerge.

Upon seeing the light of day, Ye Chen glanced in the direction of his sect, threw out his flying boat, and sped towards it. Technically, he didn’t need to return to the sect for this matter. Reporting to the master of the Magic Peak at his local station would suffice, as the message would quickly reach the sect.

However, this matter pertained to his master’s safety. He obviously needed to return personally.

Thus, it wasn’t just about this time. Whenever possible, he should make more frequent visits in the future. After all, Yao Xi’s thirtyfold boost was fine for daily use. But for real wealth, he had to rely on his master!

…

In the depths of the ruins, Su Yuxuan concealed her aura, lying in ambush on a path she knew the two elders who had previously pursued her would likely revisit. These elders had been exploring this area and were likely to return to continue their search.

“Now this can be considered as avenging you,” Su Yuxuan thought with a mix of emotions. Ever since her family was tragically killed and her brother was used in a soul-refining ritual, her heart had been encased in concrete, focused solely on revenge.

But Ye Chen had given her genuine Foundation Establishment techniques, his own eyes, and even when she ran away, he showed no sign of retaliation. She didn’t see any betrayal, anger, sadness, or despair on his face—only a serene smile of contentment.

What did this mean?

Ye Chen must have known she wouldn’t stay; he must have anticipated her escape. Yet, he still chose to give her his eyes, listened to promises he knew were empty, and continued the charade with her, handing over his only chance at survival so casually.

Even on his last day, knowing his end was near, he gave her a bottle of pills. Then, without a second thought, he stayed behind to draw the enemies’ attention, buying her time to escape.

Ye Chen had truly loved her. Perhaps all his previous teasing was just because he loved her too much and couldn’t help but jest. Yet, he always maintained his boundaries, never overstepping them forcibly.

Holding the warm pill bottle, Su Yuxuan could still feel Ye Chen’s intense love radiating from it. She felt guilty. But she had no choice; she needed to survive.

However, Su Yuxuan couldn’t remain indifferent to Ye Chen’s death. Having experienced such profound love, even her sealed heart warmed up a bit. She would ensure that the four responsible for Ye Chen’s death would join him in burial. Their families, their disciples—none would escape. All would go down to accompany Ye Chen in the afterlife.

After waiting for a week without any sign of the two elders, Su Yuxuan grew impatient. Disguising herself, she headed towards the Inner Hall of the Boundless Demon Sect where they had last been. Upon arriving, she found the Inner Hall completely razed to the ground, leaving no trace behind.

However, with her special Blood Spirit Root, Su Yuxuan could still smell the lingering scent of blood. The fate of Ye Chen was clear without words.

With a deep look at the ruins and a heart boiling with murderous intent, Su Yuxuan turned and left decisively…
