Chapter 557: Evil Dao, Plain Skirt Destiny

That voice is familiar!

Ye Guan faintly trembled. Looking behind the Evil Dao, he saw a woman wearing a long, light-blue dress. Her hair was as white as snow, her gaze as cold as ice.

Cizhen!

Memories he had made with her flashed in his mind like sparks.

The Evil Dao abruptly released Ye Guan and turned to Cizhen, her expression filled with ferocity. "You can’t even protect yourself, yet you want to protect this man?"

Cizhen gelidly stared at her.

The Evil Dao scoffed, then looked back at Ye Guan. "Invincible for a hundred years? Is this all you’ve got? Trash."

Sensing a terrifying force speeding toward her from behind, she swiftly whirled around.

Boom!

Along with a dull thud, the Evil Dao was sent flying thousands of meters away!

Upon skidding to a stop, she gave Cizhen a resentment-filled death glare.

Ignoring her, Cizhen turned to Ye Guan. Her gaze was void of emotions.

Ye Guan walked straight toward her. However, just as he was about to take the last step to reach her, an invisible force stopped him from approaching any further.

Cizhen shook her head, turned around, and said, "Leave."

Slightly taken aback, Ye Guan called, "Sister Zhen..."

"What are you doing here?" she coldly asked.

"I came to see you," He softly replied.

Cizhen was rendered speechless. Ye Guan tried to approach her once more, but the invisible barrier stopped him again, causing a sigh to escape his lips.

"If you don’t want to see me, I’ll leave."

He turned around and began to walk away. Deep down, he was a little anxious.

Sister Zhen will try to stop me from leaving, right?

After walking for a while, his face began to darken. Cizhen still hadn't called her back.

Soon, however, he heard footsteps behind him. Quickly turning around, he found Cizhen standing right in front of him.

"Sister Zhen."

Contradicting his excitement, Cizhen remained calm and collected. "What is it?"

Ye Guan suddenly grabbed onto her hand, but she didn't resist. Intently staring into her eyes, he could feel that she was not truly indifferent to him despite her icy gaze.

"Wait for me," he whispered.

He then turned and walked away again. Cizhen, watching him leave, was slightly taken aback. This time, he really was leaving.

Ye Guan did not leave any sweet words or show any romantic gestures. What Cizhen really needed right now was assistance, not corny lines. The best thing that he could do for her was focus on becoming stronger.

Watching him disappear into the distance, she found herself wanting to say something but didn't know how to say it. After a while, she let out a soft sigh and turned to leave.

However, at that moment, the Evil Dao suddenly appeared in front of Ye Guan. He frowned when he saw her.

She stared at him and said, "You’re useless."

Ye Guan looked at her blandly and said, "Are you trying to start a verbal battle with me?"

The Evil Dao’s eyes were full of disdain. "What else are you if not useless? A hundred years... Do you think that woman can last a hundred years?"

Ye Guan frowned. "What do you mean?"

The Evil Dao scoffed. "You still don't understand? Haha... What made you think suppressing the Universe Tribulation is that easy? The Universe Tribulation arises from all living beings. Hence, restricting it is no different from going against Dao. Even as we speak, she continues to face the backlash of all beings' countless evil beliefs. Oohh, to be able to taste that... hahaha!"

Ye Guan’s expression darkened.

With a wave of her right hand, the Evil Dao created a light projection screen a hundred meters away from him. It showed Cizhen’s true body in an unidentified but chaotic space. The energy of countless evil beliefs was endlessly surging toward her.

They were tirelessly consuming her, rapidly depleting her vitality day after day.

"You think she’s only suppressing me? No, she’s suppressing the collective karma of all living beings. She was lying to you when she said she had a hundred years. At most, those evil beliefs will finish devouring her in ten years."

Ye Guan clenched his fists as he looked at Cizhen, who was already walking away. With his voice trembling, he asked, "Sister Zhen, is that true?"

Sister Zhen lied to me? Will she really be consumed by the evil beliefs of all living beings in ten years? She doesn't even have a hundred years!

Cizhen stopped in her tracks. After a few moments of silence, she finally replied, "Yes, I lied."

Ye Guan roared, "When are you going to stop lying to me?"

Cizhen didn't know what to say.

"You only have ten years left..." he trailed off, his eyes reddening.

Cizhen replied softly, "Do you remember what I told you last time? We..."

He shook his head. "I don’t. I don’t remember anything. You told me you had a hundred years when you actually only have ten... Sister Zhen, why did you lie to me?"

Standing with her back facing him, she asked, "Don’t you want to be invincible?"

"You're far more important than invincibility!"

Cizhen faintly quivered. As Ye Guan slowly walked toward her, she suddenly said, "Even if I only have ten years left, I believe you will still become invincible."

"You do?"

"Yes."

"But you’ve decided to sacrifice yourself, haven’t you?"

Cizhen did not reply.

"Sister Zhen, I don’t want you to die."

Before Cizhen could say anything, the Evil Dao laughed out loud. "You don’t approve of her dying? Who do you think you are? Oh right, you are the King of Relying on Others. You have a powerhouse to rely on, don’t you? Come on, call them here, then! Do it!"

Ye Guan frowned at her. Has this woman been suppressed for so long that even her brain has been damaged?

The Evil Dao glared at him, resentment evident in her eyes."You worthless little insec—"

Boom!

The spacetime in front of Ye Guan suddenly tore open. Plain Skirt Destiny slowly walked out of it, much to Ye Guan's surprise.

"Aunt..."

She turned to Ye Guan. "Close your eyes."

"What? Why?"

Gently ruffling his hair, she answered, "Just be good and listen to me."

Ye Guan hesitated for a moment but still slowly closed his eyes.

Still feeling somewhat uneasy, Plain Skirt Destiny waved her sleeve and sealed off the space that Ye Guan stood in, preventing him from seeing or feeling anything. It was as if he had been shut in a little black room.

Afterward, she slowly approached the Evil Dao. "Constantly calling others useless... What makes you think you’re that strong?"

The Evil Dao fiercely glared at Plain Skirt Destiny. "I’m the Great Dao, the essence of all beings—"

Before the Evil Dao could finish her sentence, Plain Skirt Destiny suddenly reached out with her left hand and tightly gripped the Evil Dao's throat. "Great Dao? You’re nothing but a weak dog!"

She then slapped the Evil Dao across the face with her right hand.

Pa!

The crisp slap echoed throughout the area.
