Free Web Novel【The massive Bai Hong went wide-eyed with fear the instant she saw the stone lamp in front of Liu Yuenuo.】
【She immediately prepared to flee!】
【However, before Bai Hong could move, the almost-extinguished flame inside the stone lamp suddenly blazed to life.】
【In the next breath, the flame leapt skyward and wrapped Bai Hong’s phantom form completely!】
【From the outside it looked like only a thin layer, yet no matter how wildly Bai Hong struggled, she could not break free!】
【Only then did she truly grow afraid!】
【She shouted at once: “No, you can’t do this to me! No matter what, I am still a part of your master. Haven’t you always wanted to bring your master back? If I die too, you will never be able to revive her!”】
【“Spare me. Seal me back underground and I promise I’ll behave. I won’t try to batter the seal again.”】
【“You have to believe me!”】
【Liu Yuenuo ignored Bai Hong’s begging and kept her focus on chanting the incantation.】
【As her hands changed mudras without pause, the flame in the stone lamp burned ever brighter.】
【The fire shrouding Bai Hong rose with it.】
【Under the scorching blaze, Bai Hong let out a howl of pain.】
【Her figure began to shrink!】
【A thousand meters away, Ye Yu lifted a hand.】
【It must hurt a lot—because even he could feel an intense burning!】
【The lamp in front of Liu Yuenuo should be the Undying Heart Lamp Bai Hong mentioned earlier!】
【Although the flame burned far stronger than when it first appeared, there seemed to be a price!】
【Ye Yu could clearly see cracks spreading along the lamp’s long shaft, growing larger with time.】
【On the other side, seeing that pleading had little effect, Bai Hong switched tactics!】
【“Yuenuo, you ungrateful wretch! Have you forgotten who saved you from Chaos-God Slope back then?”】
【“All these years I cared for you in every possible way. Not only do you refuse gratitude—now you want to repay kindness with murder and kill your own master with your own hands?”】
【“Can you bear that sin? Aren’t you afraid you’ll be haunted by inner demons and die in torment?”】
【Bai Hong’s shrill voice cut straight through, laced with a mind-seizing divine force.】
【It made Liu Yuenuo frown despite herself.】
【The flame on the Undying Heart Lamp before her began to waver!】
【As a result, the fire clinging to Bai Hong weakened as well.】
【Seeing it work, Bai Hong endured the pain and pressed on: “Your master often told you one thing: even if the hope of success is a faint spark, for what matters most you must fight with everything you have!”】
【“Whatever the final result—whether it works or not—you can at least face your heart without regret!”】
【“So now, since you want to find a way to bring your master back, why not keep trying?”】
【“I promise: as long as you put away the Undying Heart Lamp now, I will immediately return to the underground seal—and I guarantee that for ten thousand years I will not emerge, giving you ten thousand years to keep striving!”】
【“I believe you can do it.”】
【“And even if, in the end, you truly cannot find a way, at least you will have fought with everything you had and be free of regret!”】
【Bai Hong whispered like a devil at the ear.】
【She tried to dissolve Liu Yuenuo’s will to kill.】
【And this move had a very high chance of success.】
【Because the obsession in Liu Yuenuo’s heart was to revive her master!】
【It was only when this incarnation of malice broke through the underground seal that she resolved to kill!】
【Now that the incarnation of malice was willing to go back below and remain for ten thousand years—】
【That was, on its face, ten thousand more years to search for resurrection. It sounded like a very tempting offer.】
【Her master’s kindness was a mountain on her heart; even a one-in-ten-thousand chance could not be abandoned...】
【Just as Liu Yuenuo wavered, Ye Yu’s voice rang out in her sea of consciousness!】
【“Hold your mind steady and put down your obsession. Bai Hong is already dead—that’s an unarguable fact. The underground seal is tattered, and the Undying Heart Lamp is about to shatter. If this incarnation of malice regrets its promise in a few years, you have no certainty you can stop it!”】
【“Think of your master—she would never wish for an incarnation of malice to run wild after her death, would she?”】 freēwebnovel.com
【This wasn’t Ye Yu suddenly overflowing with righteousness.】
【He simply knew that if Bai Hong’s incarnation of malice survived, it would never spare him when it emerged from seclusion.】
【So he had to push Liu Yuenuo to finish it quickly.】
【In truth, Liu Yuenuo did heed him.】
【The flame within the Undying Heart Lamp stopped wavering.】
【The fire on Bai Hong surged again!】
【Under the extremity of pain, she could no longer keep any pretense of dignity and collapsed, rolling on the ground!】
【But no matter how violently she thrashed, she could not extinguish the flames on her body!】
【She could only watch as her form kept shrinking!】
【“Liu Yuenuo! Do you truly mean to betray your master and ancestors—to defy all order? Kill me, and the name of ‘master-slayer’ will follow you for life!”】
【Bai Hong was still cursing, but Liu Yuenuo was unmoved.】
【A dozen or so breaths later, that incarnation of malice was burned completely to smoke and nothingness by the Undying Heart Lamp!】
【At the same moment, the Undying Heart Lamp itself shattered on the spot!】
【The last little tuft of flame died out midair.】
【Seeing this, Ye Yu couldn’t help letting out a breath. Since Bai Hong’s incarnation of malice had been eradicated—】
【Then the secret realm should open as well, and he could leave, right?】
【One breath, two breaths... the time it takes a stick of incense to burn passed.】
【Tongtian Pavilion was still Tongtian Pavilion!】
【Time remained frozen; it was as if nothing had changed at all!】
【Ye Yu’s expression grew very strange.】
【“Hey, what’s that supposed to mean?”】 freewebnøvel.com
【“We took down the final boss of the secret realm—why hasn’t the realm collapsed?”】
【“What, am I meant to be trapped here forever?”】
【Ye Yu’s figure flickered as he tried again to leave Tongtian Pavilion, but when he reached the Divine Alliance entrance, an invisible force bounced him back once more!】
【“What the hell is going on?”】
【“Do I have to wait until the MVP tally at the end or something?”】
【“You can’t be serious.”】
【Annoyance rose in Ye Yu’s chest. He shifted his gaze to Liu Yuenuo’s back.】
【This woman should know a way out.】
【After all, this secret realm had appeared because of her.】
【If it can be opened, it can be closed, right?】
【Yet when Ye Yu stepped up to Liu Yuenuo, he froze in place on the spot!】
