Chapter 141
The Evil Lord’s expression changed drastically, and he tried to pause the Star-Absorbing Grand Array.
But Ye Piaoling suddenly slammed her palm onto the eye of the array-
The array instantly sped up, continuously transferring the Evil Lord’s spiritual power into her!
“Stop!” The Evil Lord’s face turned ashen as he shouted, “Wh-what is going on?”
Now it was Ye Piaoling’s turn to throw her head back and laugh smugly. “Hahaha! Didn’t see that coming, did you? You got it backward. I’m the Hatred of the Divine Tree!”
The Evil Lord: “!!?”
“Don’t feel too bad. You weren’t the only one who got it backward. This prophet did too. Quack, quack, quack!”
Amid that clucking laughter, the Silly Prophet and Di Xiulan appeared as well.
“Impossible!”
The Evil Lord glared at Ye Piaoling and roared, “If you really are the Hatred of the Divine Tree, then how were you able to activate the teleportation array in the Life Origin Realm back then? On the other hand, Xiao Changye’s power made the teleportation array shut down… He was clearly the Evil Spirit!”
Di Xiulan said mildly, “Because I left a trace of spiritual power in each of their palms beforehand. Does that make it clear?”
Realization dawned on the Evil Lord.
So Di Xiulan had deliberately switched them. He had left a trace of Immortal Spirit power with Ye Piaoling, and a trace of Evil Spirit power with Xiao Changye…
His goal had been to mislead the Evil Lord into thinking Ye Piaoling was the Immortal Spirit, so he would use the Star-Absorbing Grand Array on her and give her the chance to turn it back on him!
The Evil Lord was so furious he gnashed his teeth. “So you had everything planned from the very beginning…”
The Silly Prophet hurried to comfort him. “We were the ones who misjudged things from the start. You can’t blame other people for scheming against us. Quack, quack, quack!”
On the other side of the array, Ye Piaoling absorbed his spiritual power while laughing. “You can absorb other people’s spiritual power, but I can absorb yours… because I am the Ultimate Evil of Heaven and Earth!”
The Evil Lord’s pupils contracted sharply.
Only in this moment did he truly sense the power of the Hatred of the Divine Tree. It was a mighty evil power that humans could never hope to reach, one born from heaven and earth itself!
First came the Hatred of the Divine Tree, and only then did the Life Origin Realm have its Eternal Long Night, and only then did Tianxie like them come into being…
Everything nature had bestowed upon all living creatures could be taken back at any time!
Ye Piaoling was still frantically absorbing his spiritual power. Under that endless influx of magic, her hairpin suddenly shattered, and her three thousand strands of black hair whipped wildly through the air. “Before me, all of you are little brothers!”
The Evil Lord hurriedly cried out, “Bro, calm down!”
Ye Piaoling readily took his advice and calmly thought it over.
Then she corrected herself. “No, that’s not right. A lowly Evil Lord like you isn’t even worthy of being my little brother… If we’re talking seniority, you’re just my son!”
The Evil Lord immediately said with great decisiveness, “Dad! Stop first! We can talk this out!”
The Silly Prophet: “…”
Di Xiulan: “…”
Not far away, inside the coffin, Ye Liaozhai vaguely heard someone calling someone else dad. Curious, he lifted the coffin lid a tiny crack and peered outside.
All he saw was sand and rocks flying everywhere, with evil light bursting in all directions!
Ye Liaozhai was so frightened that he quickly shrank back into the coffin and shut the lid tight again.
The Evil Lord was still trying to persuade Ye Piaoling. “Spare me this once, and I can help you unify the Three Realms. That is the mission you ought to fulfill as the Ultimate Evil of Heaven and Earth!”
Ye Piaoling said, “Are you teaching your dad how to do things?”
The Evil Lord replied, “This child would not dare…”
Ye Piaoling pointed at his nose and scolded, “Look at you. You’re the Lord of the Tianxie, and other than being good-looking, what merits do you even have? In terms of cultivation, you can’t beat the Divine Venerable. In terms of strategy, you actually mistook your daddy for a power pack and tried to absorb her spiritual power… Kid, Daddy is very disappointed in you!”
Watching his spiritual power drain away in torrents, the Evil Lord was practically about to cry. “Boohoo, it’s all my fault! I’ll definitely change next time!”
Ye Piaoling smiled cruelly. “There won’t be a next time. Hand over all your spiritual power right now!”
When the Evil Lord heard this, he abruptly lifted his head and said resentfully, “Do you truly intend to erase me? Don’t be stupid. You’re nothing but a pawn of the Divine Venerable too!”
Ye Piaoling frowned.
“From the very beginning, he planned to use you against me!”
The Evil Lord shouted, “He can’t kill me, because I have no soul. But you have both soul and spirit intact, so he can kill you! Haven’t you ever wondered what he’ll do to you after you devour me? When the birds are gone, the bow is put away. Righteous and evil cannot walk the same path. Do you really think he’ll let an evil creature like you roam freely through the world?”
Ye Piaoling snapped, “Shut up!”
The Evil Lord laughed. “My dear Evil Spirit young miss, you and I are the ones on the same side. Di Xiulan is only using you! If you don’t believe me, just look. He will definitely kill you!”
Before his words had even faded…
A long sword suddenly pierced Ye Piaoling’s body from behind!
Ye Piaoling’s mighty frame trembled.
She turned her head and met Di Xiulan’s gentle eyes. The long sword was gripped in his hand.
He really had tried to kill her!
Ye Piaoling said in a trembling voice, “Wh-why?”
Di Xiulan replied, “Because you made so much money. I want to become a widower so I can inherit your estate.”
Ye Piaoling: “…???”
She shook her head hard. No, this was an illusion!
Ye Piaoling fiercely steadied her mind. The illusions around her instantly vanished, and Di Xiulan was still standing outside the array. He had never attacked her at all.
The Evil Lord already looked completely exasperated. “…”
He had finally managed to bewitch her mind just now, so why had she produced such a bizarre illusion?
Could this woman not think of something normal for once?!
