Feilei Mountain is located on the third level of the Tianjiao Ancient Battlefield.
The terrain here is perilous, with frequent thunderstorms striking the mountain’s peak, creating an abyss in the center of the mountain.
The mountain is rich in gold and stones, and with lightning striking it, the entire peak is enveloped in lightning, emitting golden light. It is renowned for its beauty, known as the "Flying Thunder Gold Washing Mountain."
As Yue Hongling made her way to Feilei Mountain, she couldn't help but think back to her previous life.
In her past life, Feng Wuxie was pursued by the demon race, who wanted to harvest his phoenix blood to refine the blood of all spirits, to be consumed by the Demon King of All Spirits. Feng Wuxie sought her help.
The place he sought help was in the Silent Forest.
At the time, she immediately planned to go, but her Shixiong wouldn’t allow it. He said it was a trap, a conspiracy.
The purpose was to capture Yue Hongling and lure Lu Ye there to kill him.
She insisted on going, not believing her Shixiong’s warning, and disregarded everything.
She even injured herself to force her Shixiong to relent, but her Shixiong’s heart was as hard as stone.
Yue Hongling had wondered more than once if her Shixiong was simply jealous, or if he wanted Feng Wuxie to die.
He couldn’t bear the thought of his disciple liking another man.
But to her surprise, her self-injury had failed to move Lu Ye’s heart. He had even knocked her unconscious and imprisoned her on the spot.
What happened next, she didn’t know.
When she woke up, she was weak and poisoned by her Shixiong, unable to move.
No one cared for her.
At that moment, Yue Hongling’s heart was torn with pain and hatred.
She hated Lu Ye.
Then, the door opened.
Lu Ye stood in the backlight, making it difficult for her to see clearly.
He threw her a bloodstained magic conch and coldly informed her, "Feng Wuxie is dead, his body is gone."
At that moment, Yue Hongling nearly went mad.
But the drug made her unable to move, not even able to go crazy. She could only cry endlessly.
At that time, Lu Ye stood in the light, as if he wanted to say many things, but seeing her dazed expression and the continuous tears, all his words finally turned into three words.
"Sorry."
Lu Ye said these three words, then turned and left.
Were those three words an apology for imprisoning her?
The past flashed before her eyes.
Yue Hongling felt a sense of loss. Now, she could have Feng Wuxie, but she had lost her Shixiong.
Why was there no way for everything to be perfect?
Her Shixiong could have eight women, so why couldn’t she have two...?
Cough!
Yue Hongling suddenly snapped back to her senses. What was she thinking about?
With her Shixiong's personality, the moment she and Feng Wuxie confirmed their relationship—without even holding hands—he probably wouldn’t even give her a second glance.
Forget it, forget it. She wouldn’t think about it anymore.
...
"Ding ding ding..."
In Lu Ye’s mind, the system’s sound was like a drumbeat.
Lu Ye helplessly opened his eyes.
"What’s going on?"
"Ding, come and watch the fun!"
"I’m not really in the mood to watch."
"Ding, you’ve just broken through to the Infant Realm, and you’ve still got a hundred, a thousand, ten thousand years to cultivate. This kind of excitement is rare, watch it!"
The system had switched back from being the Dao of Heaven to being the system. During its time as the Dao of Heaven, it had been without desires, but now it seemed to have been pent up for too long.
As a result, it was now actively craving some gossip.
"You can watch it yourself, I need to cultivate."
"Ding, how can that be? When you watch a match at home, do you watch it alone?"
"Yes!"
"Ding, come on, watch it with me, I don’t care!"
Lu Ye was somewhat helpless due to the disturbance. This damn system, sooner or later, it would turn you into the Dao of Heaven.
A light screen gradually unfolded in front of Lu Ye.
"Ding, they haven’t gathered yet, so I’ll split the screen into two parts."
Lu Ye couldn’t help but laugh. This guy actually knew how to split the scenes?
The white light screen divided into two sections. One section focused on Yue Hongling, and the other focused on ★ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 ★ Feilei Mountain.
Yue Hongling was rushing toward Feilei Mountain, while demons and monsters were busy setting up formations at Feilei Mountain.
Lu Ye watched this scene, his heart calm, even feeling a bit amused.
Why?
Because this scene felt like a dark comedy sketch.
She thought she was rushing toward love, but in reality, she was rushing toward death.
Love = Death?
"The formation has changed. Originally, it was the Eight Desolation Lock Killing Formation combined with the Blood Demon Refining Heaven Formation. This time, it’s... the Divine Sky Thunder Formation and the Eight Desolation Lock Killing Formation. That makes sense; the Silent Forest didn’t have the same favorable conditions as Feilei Mountain."
"And it also has the Heavenly Demon Illusion Formation..."
Lu Ye understood.
In her past life, Yue Hongling wasn’t strong, so as soon as she appeared, she could easily be captured.
As long as they caught Yue Hongling, even if it meant facing mountains of blades or seas of fire, Lu Ye would charge in.
Yes, in the past life, Lu Ye, as the top human genius, used Feng Wuxie to bait Yue Hongling, and the real target was always Lu Ye.
But this life, without Lu Ye, Yue Hongling had become the number one genius of the human race, her strength reaching its peak. If the formation was left exposed and Feng Wuxie wasn’t as important as they imagined, it would all be in vain.
Using the Heavenly Demon Illusion Formation to cover it up was perfect.
Lu Ye smiled.
He was a versatile talent—alchemy, artifact forging, talisman creation, and formations were all his skills.
But Yue Hongling was a combat-type talent.
How would she escape from the formation?
Yue Hongling wasn’t flying fast. From her expression, it seemed she was deep in thought.
Lu Ye, having nothing better to do, decided to stretch his muscles and gave a set of Heavenly Sovereign Fist, sending a mighty gust of wind.
Of course, it was just for show.
The real Heavenly Sovereign Fist—if he could unleash even one billionth of its power, it would be an achievement.
Even when he killed Yang Wufa, the power used was very minimal.
"Ding ding ding, almost there, almost there, host, look!"
Lu Ye returned his attention to the light screen.
At this point, Yue Hongling had already reached Feilei Mountain. The mountain was shrouded in mist, with dark clouds covering the sky, and light rain continued to fall.
How did Feng Wuxie end up here?
With the rain, the chance of the Flying Thunder Gold Washing Mountain appearing was even higher.
But considering that demons and monsters generally disliked heavenly thunder and didn’t like hearing the sound of lightning, Feng Wuxie being hidden here seemed relatively safe, so she thought it was reliable.
Where is he?
Yue Hongling looked around but didn’t spot Feng Wuxie.
She took out the magic conch and began to contact him.
While contacting, she continued climbing Feilei Mountain.
This was also a treasure land. One of her fearless seals was the Heavenly Thunder Seal.
If a living being faces the heavenly thunder without fear, they can become a supreme powerhouse.
She continued to ascend.
Suddenly, Yue Hongling stopped.
A faint sense of danger spread through her heart. Her expression changed, and in an instant, she prepared to retreat.
"Get in there!"
A thunderous roar.
A giant figure appeared below Yue Hongling in a blur, holding a purple-golden copper pillar, even larger than Yue Hongling herself, and it was swung fiercely toward her.
With this strike, the giant exploded with terrifying power, his entire body trembling with blood bursting out.
Yue Hongling’s expression changed dramatically.
