Chapter 517 Xiao Qiushui, Devastated
Under the combined might of Ling Tian, after a long while, a lean old man cautiously said, "Ancestor, judging from the fragments of the images sent back from the various branches in the Western Regions, there were seven people in that group, and the leader was a girl of about twelve or thirteen years old. They acted like lightning, robbing and leaving immediately."
Another elder added, "Those people seem to know the formations inside and out; all the protective arrays are useless against them."
Ling Tian's pupils shrank sharply: "Proficient in formations, and the leader is a young girl?"
He suddenly remembered something, and his face turned ashen.
"Yes. And that girl is the backbone of this group."
"You mean to say that this group might be..."
Ling Tian suddenly stopped talking at this point.
The lean old man hesitated for a moment, then nodded fiercely and gritted his teeth, saying, "This group of people is very likely from the Star Palace, and that girl is very likely the young disciple of the Star Palace!"
The moment the words "Star Palace" were uttered, the temperature inside the hall plummeted.
Everyone recalled the great battle that shook the Tianyuan Continent three months ago, in which the two Nascent Soul Ancestors, Xuan Tian and Xuan Yue, of the Wanbaoge Pavilion joined forces to attack the Star Palace, only to be completely wiped out. Even the Wanbaoge Pavilion's supreme flying magic weapon, the Myriad Realms Wandering Dragon, was stolen by the enemy.
Although they did not witness it firsthand, it is rumored that the Star Palace not only had a Nascent Soul stage expert in charge, but also a terrifying array master, Xuan Tian and Xuan Yue, both of whom perished in the array formations of that great battle.
Ling Tian's face turned from red to green, then from green to black, and his aura surged.
Everyone in the hall held their breath, fearing that the enraged guild master might kill them all in a fit of rage.
After a long while, Ling Tian exhaled a long breath of stale air.
"The Star Palace, it's the Star Palace again..."
His voice was terrifyingly low, "Fine, very well! A third-rate sect dares to ride roughshod over my Wanbao Pavilion time and time again, it's a joke!"
"Guild Master, let's storm the Star Palace right now and slaughter their entire family!"
A young deacon shouted angrily.
"Shut up!" the lean old man shouted sternly. "Have you forgotten the fate of Ancestors Xuan Tian and Xuan Yue? The Star Palace's protective formation can even kill a mid-stage Nascent Soul expert. Are you sending others to their deaths?"
The young deacon turned pale and dared not say another word.
Ling Tian remained silent for a long time before suddenly letting out a cold laugh: "The sect competition is less than half a year away. We have already contacted the other ten major sects besides Lingxiao Pavilion. At that time, the people from Xingchen Palace will definitely not return!"
Let them be smug for another six months. We will retaliate a hundredfold, a thousandfold, and wipe the Star Palace from the world completely!
A cold glint flashed in his eyes: "Send the order: all branches in the Western and Northern Regions must immediately and secretly transfer 70% of their important resources to headquarters!"
"President, are we just going to put up with this?"
Some people are unwilling to accept this.
"You tolerated it?"
"I will make them utterly disgraced and die without a burial place during the sect competition, in front of all the sects of the entire Tianyuan Continent!"
Lie Tian grinned maliciously, slowly sat back in the main seat, tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, and said, word by word, "Star Palace, Shen Rugo, I want to see how long you can remain so arrogant!"
Star Palace, Jade Maiden Peak.
Dark clouds had gathered without anyone noticing.
Thick, low-hanging clouds seemed within reach, with faint purple lightning flashing within them, accompanied by muffled thunder.
Xiao Changkong and the other four gathered at the summit, their faces solemn.
"Is Junior Sister about to break through again?"
Lu Haoran stared at the strange phenomenon in the sky, his voice hoarse.
Ye Xinghe gave a wry smile: "From the mid-stage to the late-stage of the Golden Core realm, it would normally take an average person at least ten years of arduous cultivation, but she only took three months..."
"Boom!"
A bolt of purple lightning tore through the sky, instantly illuminating the faces of the five people.
Chen Tianba swallowed hard and exclaimed in surprise, "Junior Sister, you've triggered the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Tribulation again?"
"Isn't that obvious? Every time Junior Sister breaks through, she attracts the Purple Heaven Divine Thunder Tribulation."
Xiao Qiushui immediately retorted.
"Xiao Laowu, why are you taking your anger out on me?"
Haha, I know, you're just jealous, blatantly jealous!
Chen Tianba laughed loudly, "Junior Sister has broken through and caught up with you in terms of cultivation level, so you're unhappy, aren't you!"
"Shut up, Chen Laosi! Believe me or not, I'll beat you up right now!"
Like a rabbit whose tail has been stepped on, Xiao Qiushui yelled angrily and charged at Chen Tianba.
This was precisely what angered him the most and what he found most unbearable: his junior sister had actually caught up with his level and stood at the same height as him.
As a result, he became the one with the lowest cultivation level and strength among the six fellow disciples.
You should know that his junior sister is almost five years younger than him. More importantly, she has only been on the path of cultivation for a little over two years, while he has been cultivating for more than ten years.
This put him under a lot of pressure.
"You two better behave yourselves!"
Xiao Changkong suddenly spoke in a deep voice and casually grabbed at the air.
In an instant, the two figures were frozen in place.
Xiao Qiushui, in particular, remained in a posture of angry forward charge, but could no longer move an inch. Her face turned red, and she felt increasingly frustrated.
The others nodded in agreement. After the eldest brother broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, his strength became increasingly terrifying, especially his spatial abilities, which were truly masterful.
Xingchen Daoist and Qinghe Daoist naturally sensed the aura of the Heavenly Tribulation and stood side by side in mid-air, quietly observing.
Seeing Xiao Changkong's skill, the two nodded repeatedly, their eyes full of approval.
After entering the Nascent Soul realm, Xiao Changkong's divine beast bloodline was almost fully activated. They believed that even cultivators in the mid or late Nascent Soul stages might not be a match for Xiao Changkong.
pride!
An indescribable sense of pride welled up in their hearts!
However, their gazes soon returned to the heavenly tribulation, their expressions becoming even more radiant, for there was an even more monstrous one here.
Rumble!
The first bolt of lightning crashed down!
It was a bolt of purple lightning as thick as a bucket, like a dragon reaching out with its claws. The protective array instantly lit up with a dazzling light, but shattered inch by inch the moment it touched the purple lightning.
"Not good!" Xiao Changkong's expression changed drastically. "The power of this lightning tribulation far surpasses that of the last one!"
Just as the cave was about to succumb to the power of the lightning tribulation, Shen Rugo's figure suddenly transformed into a streak of light and rushed out, heading straight for the lightning tribulation.
"Thank you, God, for sending me another great gift!"
Shen Rugo's clear voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth. The next second, she leaped into the purple divine lightning. Endless lightning power surged towards her body like a tide.
"Is Junior Sister going to use the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning to temper her body and refine her golden core again?"
This scene was already commonplace for everyone, and Lu Haoran couldn't help but speak up.
"Isn't that obvious? Have you ever seen Junior Sister refine her golden core and temper her physical body without using the Purple Heaven Divine Lightning?"
Xiao Qiushui, who had already regained her freedom, immediately retorted.
"Haha, Fifth Brother Xiao, what's got you so angry about this time? Can't stand to see our junior sister doing well? You even dared to talk back to your third senior brother?"
Chen Tianba couldn't help but burst into laughter.
