Chapter 540 Nascent Soul Tribulation Arrives
Heaven wouldn't allow Xue Lan to become the realm lord, but Xue Lan's life still had to go on.
Lord Wolf carried out his plan step by step. When he had something to do, he would refine weapons, and when he had nothing to do, he would wander around the various mines in Xie Cui City.
I was just wandering around, just looking at the scenery.
The masters of Wan Gong Fang made a list and sent one of them every three days to teach the disciples of Zhan Kui Fu. The location was the cave where the weapon refiner assessment was held years ago.
Xue Lan went to take a look. The War Puppet Mansion took this matter very seriously. The floor was so clean that it was shiny enough to reflect one's image.
Unfortunately, Master Xue only managed to peek inside before the class started, and was dragged out by Wu Yijun by the collar as soon as the class began.
"Junior Sister Wu said there are plenty of disciples and elders from the Ten Thousand Crafts Workshop who want to attend the lectures, so I'm just standing there blocking the way." Xue Lan sat under a peach tree in front of the Black Tower, her expression somewhat resentful.
Xue Tong sat opposite her and said speechlessly:
“Junjun is doing this for your own good. If you were to eat a peach while the Master of Wan Gong Fang is lecturing, the students next to you would throw it at you.”
Xue Lan, having been pointed out in a single comment, defiantly raised three fingers:
"I would never eat peaches while lecturing; that was so many years ago. I can post..."
"Boom!"
Before the word "oath" could be uttered, a clear rumble of thunder came from the distant horizon.
"what the hell!"
Xue Tong stood up and looked at the large, dark cloud that was flying majestically in from the horizon. He couldn't help but speak:
"It's rare for your oath to be so effective."
"This is not the oath I just swore." Xue Lan hurriedly gathered the weapon-refining blueprints from the table, mounted a flying cloud, and ran westward towards Xie Cui City, disappearing in an instant.
The Wolf King's urgent voice echoed in Xue Tong's mind:
"This is my Nascent Soul stage tribulation."
A raindrop landed on Xue Tong's brow, causing a damp coolness.
Immediately afterwards, a damp mist fell, enveloping the entire Xie Cui City in a few breaths.
Spring rains have arrived.
At the east gate of Xie Cuichen, a young man wearing a bamboo hat and holding a cloth banner slowly looked up at the sky, then took out a weapon refiner token from his sleeve and handed it to the city guard, before leisurely entering the city.
As soon as he entered the city gate, the young man saw a large, menacing thundercloud drifting westward toward Xie Cui City, with dark lightning crackling around it, making it look particularly terrifying.
He gently lifted his bamboo hat, revealing a pair of eerie emerald eyes:
"What a grand display!"
Xue Lan felt that Heaven was deliberately targeting her.
One moment the tribulation of lightning was about to strike, and the next moment the Fusang Demon Lord entered the city.
Even if you split her into four, you might not be able to handle it.
The woman lightly stepped off the flying cloud beneath her feet and landed in a desolate wilderness using the Void Stepping technique. She then unleashed the array that Yan Chengxue had previously reinforced for her.
The array plate landed on the ground, and a total of twenty-four array flags flew out from it. As the central array plate continued to rotate, they found their positions and stuck into the nearby rocks.
The moment the formation was completed, all the earth elemental power within a ten-mile radius was drawn in, forming an earth-yellow light shield above Xue Lan's head, protecting her inside.
Xue Lan took out the Chonglou Illusionary Treasure Map from her sleeve and draped it over her shoulders before sending a telepathic message to Xue Tong:
"Xiao Tong, Shang Xun has entered the city. Go to Lingqiao Pavilion right now, or he will catch you."
"I think it's too late." Xue Tong looked at the young man sitting at the stone table, politely eating pastries:
“He’s already in front of me, and he’s still eating the pastries you bought today.”
Xue Lan felt a bit like biting someone.
Shang Xun heard Xue Lan's sarcastic voice:
"Does your family have no food, senior?"
The young man didn't care what the other person said, and picked up another small, delicate pastry, took a bite, and said gloatingly:
"Fellow Daoist, focus on your tribulation. Talk to me after you've survived this lightning strike."
After saying this, the young man gently pointed in Xue Lan's direction, and the pale blue demonic energy pulled at the thunderclouds in the sky, striking Xue Lan in advance.
"Do not get distracted, or you will ruin your cultivation."
The jet-black lightning struck the array overhead, causing slight cracks in the light shield with just one strike.
Xue Lan took out the Spirit Gathering Cauldron from the Chonglou Illusionary Treasure Map to supply spiritual power to the formation. At the same time, she made hand seals and summoned a wisp of blue-red strange fire from between her eyebrows, which transformed into a layer of dazzling fire robes on her body.
Shang Xun, who had been keeping a close eye on the situation from within Xie Cuicheng, smiled slightly:
"Lord Wolf truly values his life."
Xue Lan glanced at the dark thunderclouds above her head: "Xue Lan's life is of great use to the Yuanming Realm, so naturally we must cherish it."
"Crack!"
Another bolt of dark lightning struck, and the cracks in the array above Xue Lan's head widened once more, causing Lord Wolf's heart to bleed.
"If I take it back to fix this time, Yan Chengxue will scold me again."
Xue Lan's calamity alarmed many cultivators in Xie Cui City, including Wu Yijun, who was adjusting puppets in his cave.
A female cultivator in red robes, with a small puppet perched on her shoulder, stepped out of the cave. What came into view was a terrifying black thundercloud.
"I wonder which senior is undergoing tribulation here, the lightning is so terrifying."
No sooner had Wu Yijun finished speaking than a bolt of pitch-black lightning struck down from the thunderclouds.
The woman's bright face turned deathly pale in an instant.
"It's Xue Lan."
The female cultivator in red instantly transformed into a beam of red light and flew towards the residence of her master, Master Hengyang.
Three bolts of lightning shattered the array created by Yan Chengxue. Blood trickled from the corner of Xue Lan's mouth. She used a little magic power to put the array plate, which had been broken into several pieces, into her sleeve.
It's definitely not going to be repaired this time, but at least we can bring Yan Chengxue some corpses.
That's enough to give us an explanation.
A heavy pain surged through her chest, gradually spreading to her limbs. Unable to support herself any longer, Xue Lan knelt on one knee. The strange fire mark between her brows shone brightly, appearing as if it were about to burst into flames.
The woman spoke in a hoarse voice:
"This body is still too weak."
A body that should have died young, riddled with flaws, was propped up by her powerful demonic soul, allowing her to roam freely. No matter how recklessly she acted, her inner demon, as a celestial soul, always came to her rescue…
"I really got a little carried away."
Xue Lan made a self-deprecating remark and slowly stood up.
She didn't care about ordinary heavenly lightning, but the heavenly lightning for tribulation was a real matter of fate.
One can only save oneself.
The woman's expression was fierce. She resolutely bit her finger and drew a strange rune on the ground. It looked like a bizarre and twisted "定" (ding, meaning fixed) character, surrounded by many vine-like patterns that continued to grow on the bright red blood and tightly wrapped around Xue Lan's ankle.
A fourth bolt of heavenly lightning was brewing overhead. Xue Lan gently wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
"My body is also quite important, and many people care about it."
