Chapter 270: Venerable Ye’s Disaster (End)

However, Venerable Ye stopped his finger once again.

He thought to himself: this was the final layout he had painstakingly realized through countless hardships! He had racked his brains and expended far too much Liver!

How could it be allowed to end so nonchalantly?

“Such a wonderful scene cannot be celebrated by just the two of us,” Venerable Ye suddenly spoke.

The tipsy Venerable Ye pulled out a Communications Crystal.

Because his mood was so incredibly pleasant, he had even managed to get a bit of a buzz from drinking tea.

“Hello? Venerable Luo’e? I have something good to show you… Want to come and join the fun?”

“That who, Venerable Tianling? Yes, it’s me, Old Ye. I have something good, hehehe…”

“Venerable Qingyun? Coming to spend the Lantern Festival together?”

“Old Di? Coming?”

Venerable Ye sent out a dozen communications in a row.

Finally, he hesitated for a moment before pulling out that special small black Crystal and carefully making a call, saying, “Lord, this lowly one has already laid the killing trap. I humbly request the Lord to come here and witness the moment Qing Yi and the Venerable Si Lian perish together.”

The other party’s reply was brief and concise.

[Received, arriving shortly.]

Venerable Ye couldn’t help but feel a burst of excitement in his heart.

He was going to see that Lord again.

If he could perform well in front of him and make the other party realize his own sharp wit and natural talent, he would likely receive his appreciation.

Unfortunately, Venerable Ye waited for a long time.

In the time that followed, Venerable Luo’e and the rest of Venerable Ye’s friends all rushed over and began to participate in this banquet.

But that Lord had yet to arrive.

Venerable Ye, feeling somewhat uneasy, sent another communication.

“Lord, where have you reached…”

[On the way! Arriving shortly!]

“Alright…”

Another half hour passed.

“Lord…” Venerable Ye’s face looked unsightly as he dialed the communication once more.

If not for the Soul Seeking Crystal showing that Si Lian and the others had not moved and were staying at the best observation distance visible from here, he probably would have been unable to continue waiting.

[I suddenly have something to do, so I won’t be coming over for now.]

“…”

Fine.

Although waiting for so long had made Venerable Ye feel very depressed, at least he had invited so many guests.

Even if that Lord didn’t come, he would still properly enjoy this moment worthy of celebration.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Venerable Ye pulled out the Crystal once more.

“I will perform a program for everyone,” Venerable Ye said, standing proudly in the air.

A group of Honored Ones looked at him curiously. They recognized that the Crystal should be some kind of triggering device.

Was this some kind of surprise easter egg Venerable Ye had specially prepared for the Lantern Festival?

Old Ye really put his heart into it!

He is a friend worth knowing deeply!

Venerable Ye stood with his back to the moon. The large, round, bright white moon provided a mysterious glow to frame him.

“Now, it is time to witness the miracle!”

Press!

Buzz—

In that instant, the sky lit up.

The moonlight felt ashamed of itself in the midst of this exploding, brilliant radiance.

A cloud of mist entrained with Lightning Flash rose into the sky, shooting out a ring-shaped halo that swept out in all directions with a force that could destroy anything in its path.

“Look! Such big fireworks!” Jie Shui looked toward the light source in surprise.

“Yes, very big fireworks,” Jiang Ke’er said with a complex expression as she sat on the hilltop looking into the distance.

“In the future, I want to set off such a big firecracker too!” Jie Shui still didn’t know what had happened and spoke with expectation.

“Alright, since we’ve waited for the fireworks, it’s time for us to leave,” Si Lian said, raising an eyebrow.

She glanced at the somewhat melancholic Gan Ruǎnruǎn and added, “Don’t worry, not just the Demon Race, but most of the civilians have been evacuated as well… Although they weren’t very cooperative, at least they are safe now.”

Gan Ruǎnruǎn’s tense body finally relaxed.

Blown into mid-air by the shockwave of the explosion, Luo’e stared blankly at that crimson, blazing cloud, dumbfounded.

The program Venerable Ye performed was truly… impressive.

It was his first time seeing such a stimulating program.

‘I’ll perform a self-destruction for everyone.gif’

To be precise, it wasn’t Venerable Ye who exploded, but the small Punishment Official next to Venerable Ye.

To be even more specific, the exact location of the explosion was the right kidney area of that small Punishment Official.

The various Honored Ones had seen many Corpse Explosion tricks, but very few people would ever suspect a living person.

Moreover, he had habitually scanned that Punishment Official’s body before and hadn’t found anything unusual.

Clearly, the detection had been blocked by some special material.

From this, it was evident that this was a carefully planned layout, with the goal of wiping out all of them Honored Ones in one go.

Venerable Luo’e understood.

He struggled to drag his remaining half-body out of the explosion, his face distorted.

Old Ye, you damned Old Ye.

I was wondering why you suddenly wanted to call so many of us together for a gathering.

I was wondering why you suddenly became so generous, with fine wine and Xian dishes all prepared.

I was wondering why an old schemer like you suddenly wanted to perform some damn program.

So it turned out to be such a stimulating program. You really did let us witness a miracle!

Wonderful, ha, wonderful.

Venerable Luo’e grabbed Venerable Ye’s mangled remains from the searing fire of the explosion.

Venerable Ye wasn’t completely dead yet, but because he was closest to that Punishment Official, he had been dazed by the blast.

His Spiritual Soul was unstable, and his consciousness was blurred.

“Explode… explode… explode for me! Hahaha… everyone must die! You can still one-shot me with seventeen cards? Damn it, why…”

Venerable Luo’e leaned his head in and heard Venerable Ye still murmuring some terrifying words.

Good, it really was you.

“The Internal Bomb was yours?” Venerable Luo’e asked again in disbelief.

“Yes, but…”

“Enough! I don’t want to hear your explanations. Go die!”

Luo’e shattered Venerable Ye’s skull with a single palm strike.

Since the Internal Bomb was yours, there’s no cleaning your name.

Even if I, Luo’e, die here today, don’t you think you’re getting off easy!

Shattering Venerable Ye’s skull wasn’t the end.

Luo’e then tore apart Venerable Ye’s Spiritual Soul inch by inch, making him endure the pain of having his soul sliced piece by piece!

Finally, he threw Venerable Ye’s remaining Divine Sense into the Soul Refining Tower—where his Soul would be slowly roasted into dross, enjoying the process of being cremated while fully conscious.

This process would last for decades or even centuries.

For Cultivators in meditation, it was very short, but for the suffering Venerable Ye, it would be long years where every day felt like a decade.

“Eh? Why did the kidney grow back so fast this time?”

Gan Ruǎnruǎn felt her lower abdomen, feeling a wave of confusion. “Is this my kidney? Why does it feel a bit fatter than before…”

Jiang Ke’er didn’t answer but instead asked, “Ruan Ruan, do you still remember how you came to that city?”

“I don’t remember,” Ruan Ruan shook her head. “A few Tavern owners found me in a trash can. Why?”

“Oh, it’s nothing.”

Jiang Ke’er waved her hand.

For some questions, it was better to forget the answers forever.

At least it was a successful kidney transplant.

A kidney from a direct relative really did have a higher success rate for matching.
