Bai Qi was too strong!
Even though Lu Ren still had one last card to play, he had to take his chances against Bai Qi.
How could he stand by and watch Bai Qi take away the woman he loved most?
Facing a Deva Path expert at the second level of the Virtual God Realm, he felt powerless and unwilling to accept it.
"Strength. If only I could reach the Virtual God Realm..."
Lu Ren roared inwardly, again and again.
"Variable, let's go," Bai Qi said flatly.
Yun Qingyao glanced at Lu Ren. A tear slid from the corner of her eye before she flew toward Bai Qi.
Whoosh!
Bai Qi swept his sleeve, and a streak of silver light wrapped around Yun Qingyao. They vanished on the spot.
Xuan Wentian cast Lu Ren a cold glance, then took Jin Ruidao's corpse and disappeared in a flash of lightning.
Once Bai Qi and the others were gone, everyone in the Central Sacred Palace breathed a sigh of relief. They lay sprawled on the ground, gasping for air, their faces showing the relief of those who had survived a calamity.

Lu Ren shouted, then turned to Yun Qingyan and demanded, "Qingyan, you've been hiding this from me all along. Tell me what's going on!"

Yun Qingyan shook her head. "No. My sister told me not to say anything!"
"Tell me!"
Lu Ren's shout rang out.
His expression frightened Yun Qingyan. Tears streamed down her face. "I... I can tell you... but you mustn't do anything rash!"
"All right!"
Lu Ren nodded.
