“Big Brother, are we really just going to stand by and watch our disciple get bullied like this?”
As she spoke, Huo Furong’s eyes were already completely red.
It looked as though flames were about to burst from them!
“Sigh... Huo Furong, I understand how you feel, but if we step in, we won't be helping Lu Ming. We would absolutely just be delivering opportunities to his opponent on a silver platter...”
“Our Qingshan Sect is nothing more than his health pack and experience points! All sorts of accidents will prevent us from succeeding, and it might even lead to far worse consequences!”
Hearing the Grand Elder’s words, Huo Furong grit her teeth and stared intently at Ye Fan below without saying a word!
But her rising and falling chest made her current fury clear!
“Trust me, I have already made arrangements...” the Grand Elder spoke.
Huo Furong suddenly looked at the Grand Elder.
“Aren't we forbidden from taking action?”
Staring down at Lu Ming, who had just been sent flying by Ye Fan once again, the Grand Elder said:
“I didn't directly help Lu Ming, nor did I directly strike at this Child of Destiny. I only...”
...
Lu Ming spat out another mouthful of blood, his entire mind growing hazy!
This time, his injuries were simply too severe!
Since he began his cultivation journey, he had never been injured this badly!
He felt like he was about to go drink with Huang Tianbao!
“I'm the protagonist, so there's no way I'll die! I'm the protagonist and I still have to save the world, so I definitely won't die...” Lu Ming silently muttered to himself!
Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he couldn't help but grumble in his heart:
Oh Great Heavenly Dao, your protagonist is about to be beaten to death here.
Aren't you going to hurry up and reveal the opportunity you've arranged for me?
If I die, who is going to help you save the world?
Meanwhile, Ye Fan was also growing rather irritated.
He hadn't expected this wretched mortal to be so difficult to kill!
If it were anyone else, they would have been slapped to death by him long ago!
Yet this guy had actually managed to drag things out until now!
He was certain that the attacks he had landed on Lu Ming would have killed even a Mahayana stage cultivator!
But this guy was still alive!
He truly was his fated archenemy!
Just as Ye Fan was preparing to intensify his attacks, a series of thunderclaps suddenly rumbled not far away, followed by flashes of lightning. It looked exactly like someone was about to undergo a tribulation!
At this moment, Zhu Wuneng was also completely bewildered.
Wasn't he in seclusion on an isolated island in the Wuwang Sea, trying to break through to the Soul Transformation stage?
How did the isolated island suddenly relocate the very moment he was about to break through?
And he had been relocated right along with it!
Where was the Wuwang Sea?
He had never heard the hundred thousand water troops mention that breaking through to the Soul Transformation stage involved moving houses!
At the same time, Xiao Huihui and the old turtle, the hundred thousand water troops, were also utterly dumbfounded.
The two of them had been guarding Zhu Wuneng when a flash of light suddenly erupted.
Their vision blurred, and they suddenly found themselves here!
Could anyone tell them what had just happened?
The isolated island could actually run away on its own?
Watching the three bewildered figures below, Huo Furong's lips twitched.
“So this... is your arrangement!”
The Grand Elder stroked his beard. “This kid's fate is rather peculiar...”
Huo Furong nodded!
“Let's leave quickly. We need to hurry up and deliver the pills you refined to the Sect Master. He said he needs them immediately...”
Huo Furong nodded, and then the two of their figures vanished into the void!
Meanwhile, Lu Ming and Ye Fan were also stunned. Why had someone suddenly started undergoing a tribulation here?
They had been fighting here for so long without seeing a single soul!
Even the small animals had all been blasted to death by the shockwaves of Ye Fan's attacks!
Staring at the purple-gold thunderclouds churning in the distant sky, a smile tugged at the corner of Lu Ming's mouth. It was here! It was finally here! His chance of survival had finally arrived!
Swallowing the last top-grade recovery pill hidden in his mouth, and then circulating the spiritual energy in his body, Lu Ming threw several more stacks of attack talismans at Ye Fan.
Then, he plunged headfirst into the roaring sea of lightning.
Perhaps the Tribulation Lightning had also seen Lu Ming's miserable state?
It had originally planned to strike Zhu Wuneng, but now it couldn't care less about him!
“You worthless piece of trash, how dare you bully my big brother! You're looking for death!”
Crack, crackle... Crackle, crack...
Carrying its majestic thunderous might, the Tribulation Lightning shielded Lu Ming as it crashed down toward Ye Fan!
Ye Fan had just blocked Lu Ming's attack talismans when he was met head-on by the frenzied Tribulation Lightning!
Ye Fan was instantly infuriated. He felt as though this Tribulation Lightning was deliberately targeting him.
Circulating the spiritual energy within his body, he mobilized the power of laws in the void!
He laid down a protective shield of laws, guarding himself!
The Tribulation Lightning struck the shield, but the shield remained completely undamaged...
“How is this possible?!”
Seeing that it couldn't even scratch Ye Fan, the Tribulation Lightning couldn't help but cry out in shock!
Lu Ming circulated his technique, replenishing his spiritual energy as he shouted: “This guy is a Half-Immortal! Your Tribulation Lightning can't break his defense! Run, quick!”
The Tribulation Lightning was taken aback, but quickly realized that it was a tribulation lightning that could only strike those below the Immortal Rank.
If the world didn't upgrade, it couldn't harm an Immortal!
Just like before, when its big brother had used that old man to block the lightning, it hadn't been able to leave a scratch!
Realizing this, the Tribulation Lightning didn't care about anything else. It wrapped around Lu Ming, turned, and fled!
Seeing Lu Ming being carried away by the Tribulation Lightning, Ye Fan chased after them without a moment's hesitation!
This time, he was finally going to succeed in killing that wretched mortal!
How could he let him escape!
At the same time, he was also somewhat bewildered. Wasn't the Heavenly Dao of this world always supporting him?
Why?
Why was this Tribulation Lightning helping that wretched mortal instead of him?
...
Meanwhile, Zhu Wuneng was also stunned. What was going on with this Tribulation Lightning?
It hadn't even struck him yet, so why did it just run away?
If he didn't get struck, did it still count as a successful tribulation?
“Where is my Tribulation Lightning?”
He hurriedly flew over to Xiao Huihui and the hundred thousand water troops, asking anxiously.
Xiao Huihui and the hundred thousand water troops were also completely bewildered.
They had watched with their own eyes as Zhu Wuneng's Tribulation Lightning came and went!
“It hadn't even struck me yet, so why did it leave?”
Zhu Wuneng was on the verge of tears. “What do I do? What do I do? I wasn't struck by lightning. Does that mean I failed the tribulation?”
The hundred thousand water troops sized up Zhu Wuneng's cultivation. It was already at the early Soul Transformation stage!
He quickly comforted him:
“It's fine, it's fine! Feel it for yourself. Your cultivation is indeed at the Soul Transformation stage. Your strength isn't affected!”
Xiao Huihui also hurriedly chimed in. “Yes, yes... You're already a Soul Transformation stage big shot!”
Hearing their reassurance, Zhu Wuneng felt his own cultivation and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief:
“Thank goodness, thank goodness... My cultivation is still intact!”
“Still, a Soul Transformation stage breakthrough without being struck by Tribulation Lightning feels a bit incomplete!”
Hearing this, the hundred thousand water troops' lips twitched.
Countless people would beg for this, yet here you are, complaining about it being incomplete!
Then, his eyes flickered, and he said somewhat uncertainly:
“Why did I feel like I saw the Great Sect Master?”
Amidst the flashing lightning and rolling thunder that had just flown away, he seemed to have caught a glimpse of the Great Sect Master's figure.
Hearing this, Xiao Huihui's pupils also shrank:
“Could it really be the Great Sect Master? I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me!”
“I saw him being carried away by the lightning!”
The hundred thousand water troops nodded in agreement!
Zhu Wuneng's eyes gleamed as he wore an expression of sudden realization:
“I get it! This was all arranged by the Great Sect Master!”
“He knew I was afraid of pain, so he didn't let the Tribulation Lightning strike me!”
Xiao Huihui and the hundred thousand water troops exchanged a glance. Was that really it?
“What do we do now?” the hundred thousand water troops asked. Zhu Wuneng shook his massive head:
“Let's go to the Qingshan Sect to find the Great Sect Master and the others!”
Back when they left the Central Province, Lu Ming had told him to go to the Qingshan Sect!
It was just that he, Xiao Huihui, and the others had run into a storm and gotten lost.
As for why the Great Sect Master hadn't spoken to them just now, that wasn't something he needed to worry about!
Perhaps the Great Sect Master was just busy?
