Yun Youyue's usually proud face shattered for the first time. She gritted her teeth, "You all deserve to die!"
Soon, she realized Yun Buluo and the others were still standing beside her. She immediately suppressed her ferocious expression and hastily treated the lightning injuries on her body.
Yun Piaopiao said with a smile, "People shouldn't do bad things, or even heaven can't stand it."
"Piaopiao!" Yun Buluo's doll-like face was serious, "Don't speak of sister Youyue like that."
Seeing that Yun Buluo had only been with Yun Youyue for less than a few months and was already calling her "Sister Youyue" with such familiarity, while his attitude towards his sister, whom he had known for hundreds or thousands of years, had changed drastically, Yun Piaopiao felt immense pain.
She remained silent, her smile fading from her face. Gradually, she moved to the edge of Yun Shenzhou's group.
Yun Buluo did not notice. His gaze was fixed on the people from Yingwu Continent who had just arrived not far away.
"Tang Qiao, Jiang Liuchen, didn't Yingwu Continent send people?" Yun Buluo asked.
Jiang Liuchen sat lazily on the ground, remaining silent.
He had thought he could finally relax, but after waking up from a nap, Tang Qiao had dragged him to the Divine Revelation Small World. In the blink of an eye, he found himself in the vast secret realm.
Tang Qiao said coldly, "What's it to you?"
Yun Buluo was choked by the woman's unpleasant tone. "Did you eat an explosion pill?"
Tang Qiao twitched the corner of her mouth, ignoring Yun Buluo. She stared intently at the lightning clouds where Bai Shengyi and Qin Si were located.
Yun Buluo found Tang Qiao a little strange. While she was usually aloof, her attitude back then was one of simple indifference. But now, Tang Qiao seemed shrouded in a thick shadow.
Just as Yun Buluo was about to observe more closely, he suddenly heard a scream.
"Ah!"
For some reason, Yun Piaopiao was pushed into the range of the lightning tribulation!
"Piaopiao!" Yun Buluo hurriedly reached out to pull Yun Piaopiao out, but a sword light suddenly flashed past his hand, startling him into pausing.
"Seventh Brother, be careful!" Yun Youyue pinned the gray threads to the ground with her sword, shocked, "Why are there Prison Fiends here?"
"What?" Yun Buluo was immediately drawn to Yun Youyue's words. Although he quickly realized he needed to save Yun Piaopiao immediately, this brief delay was too late.
"Ah!"
Yun Piaopiao was directly engulfed by Bai Shengyi and Qin Si's lightning tribulation, struck to the ground, and her breath was fading.
"Piaopiao!" Yun Buluo frowned tightly, wanting to personally enter and bring Yun Piaopiao out. However, he heard Yun Youyue say, "Seventh Brother, this lightning tribulation is comparable to a Void Breaking Realm cultivator undergoing the Great Ascension tribulation. If you go in, and something happens to you, Yun Shenzhou will lose a powerful fighter. Don't forget, Sister Buyu has assigned us a mission this time to find the Rong Ku Brush."
"Yes, Buluo." Yun Ya and Yun Hai said, "Why don't you let us go in—"
The two of them watched as Yun Piaopiao was dragged into the center of the lightning tribulation as if by something, and their words faltered.
In the midst of such dense lightning tribulation, even if their cultivation was not weak, it would be difficult for one person to emerge unscathed, let alone rescue someone?
Yun Ya and Yun Hai fell silent.
Yun Buluo spoke with difficulty, "I—"
"Seventh Brother, even if you go in, you can't save Piaopiao," Yun Youyue said softly, "Don't forget, the Yun family still needs you."
Yun Buluo also fell silent.
"Tch!" Jiang Liuchen watched the entire spectacle unfold and said leisurely, "The Yun family is nothing special."
Yun Buluo clenched his fist.
"Alright, Jiang Liuchen, don't block my view here. Go install the device," Tang Qiao commanded coldly. "That useless Mo Qingque, the people he found are good for nothing. Now I have to clean up his mess. Killing him would be too good for him."
Jiang Liuchen, who was about to refuse: ...
He vaguely remembered that it was he who had arranged for Mo Qingque to find people. He had reason to suspect that Tang Qiao was using this opportunity to threaten him.
Although Jiang Liuchen was lazy, he was very fond of his life. He immediately changed his tune, "I'll go now."
Yun Buluo's gaze deepened. He gave Yun Ya and Yun Hai a look. Just as Yun Ya and Yun Hai were about to set off, they heard Yun Youyue say, "Seventh Brother, when we came before, I saw an unripe Bi Xiao fruit tree ahead. I just paid attention to the lightning tribulation passing by the location of that fruit tree. I want Yun Ya and Yun Hai to go with me to take a look. What if there are Bi Xiao fruits?"
The Bi Xiao fruit tree was a very delicate and rare spiritual plant. It had to undergo lightning tribulation to mature, and only the mature fruits were non-toxic. However, this kind of tree preferred to grow in places lacking spiritual energy.
But why would a cultivator in their right mind undergo tribulation in a place without spiritual energy!
Yet, they had encountered it this time!
"Then you go," Yun Buluo could not refuse Yun Youyue's reason.
After they left, Yun Buluo asked Tang Qiao languidly, "Tang Qiao, what schemes are you Yingwu Continent hatching again?"
Tang Qiao focused solely on the center of the lightning tribulation and ignored him.
Yun Buluo frowned, "Are the Bai Shengyi and Qin Si undergoing tribulation the young talents favored by your Yingwu Continent?"
Everyone knew that Yingwu Xiong liked to employ young and potential cultivators. Yun Buluo felt that Tang Qiao was paying too much attention to Bai Shengyi and Qin Si, which led him to think this way.
This time, Tang Qiao responded to him.
Tang Qiao sneered, "You're wrong. They are people I want to kill."
In the center of the lightning tribulation.
"A'si, did you hear anything?" Bai Shengyi asked.
Qin Si listened intently for a moment, "Someone was dragged forward by a Prison Fiend."
Crude lightning struck down from above Bai Shengyi's head. Even though Qin Si quickly blocked some of it for her, Bai Shengyi had to endure most of it herself, causing her whole body to jolt. Smoke puffed from her mouth as she spoke.
"Prison Fiend? That thing dares to come under the lightning tribulation?"
As Bai Shengyi spoke, she summoned the Samsara Brush. "Little Samsara, go help that person. They were probably dragged down by our tribulation."
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Shengyi herself was taken aback.
She was not a kind person, but at that moment, she genuinely felt a pang of pity and instinctively made the choice to save someone.
"Let this old one go," the Hong Meng Paper flew out. "The Nine Revolutions Samsara Brush is your artifact. During the tribulation, it is best to stay by your side."
As it spoke, it transformed into a white light that passed through the lightning and lightly enveloped Yun Piaopiao.
Bai Shengyi and Qin Si then returned their focus to undergoing tribulation.
This lightning tribulation lasted for a full three months. From the initial ten or twenty bolts of lightning at once, it gradually changed to one bolt every few days.
The interval lengthened, and the lightning became even more powerful, fierce, and terrifying.
Lightning completely enveloped the area. After the final bolt of tribulation fell, it actually formed a new sea of lightning!
"Bai Shengyi! Surrender your life!"
Seeing that the lightning tribulation had ended, Tang Qiao ignored the flickering lightning clouds within the sea of lightning and leaped forward. With a whip, she lashed out at the person lying straight on the ground!
