Suddenly a hand landed on her shoulder. Qi Yu looked up in surprise, but the person in front of her was not the one she wanted to see.

It's true... Mom really is gone.

She lowered her head dejectedly, buried her face in her arms, and refused to talk.

Feng Xiao pursed his lips, squatted down, and picked the girl up in his arms.

Passing by the half-dead white fox lying on the ground, Feng Xiao paused, waved to take the fox along, and walked out of the treehouse.

The magnificent golden willow tree in the center of the forbidden area has withered, and the once swaying golden branches have all disappeared.

Beside the dead tree were piles of charred remains, silently adding to the desolation.

Feng Xiao paused for a moment, then walked towards Xingyue Peak.

At the foot of Xingyue Peak, the bamboo house, though long uninhabited, remains spotless and pristine.

Feng Xiao placed the girl on the bamboo bed. Looking at the girl who had turned her back to him and remained closed off from communication, he was at a loss for what to do.

"You can go out now. I want to be alone for a while."

A muffled voice came from behind. Feng Xiao watched her retreating figure and then went out.

He stepped out of the room, looked at the white fox on the ground, picked it up, and walked outside.

Tell me everything that just happened.

The white fox was first severely punished by Hua Liu for his undercover work, and then he was attacked by Qi Yu for provoking her. Now he is in a state of utter confusion.

Now, under the oppressive force of Feng Xiao, it couldn't hold back and coughed up another mouthful of blood. The fox looked listless and half-dead.

Feng Xiao's heart was as hard as stone. He ignored everyone and said, "Speak quickly, or I'll stew you and make you into fox soup."

Left with no other option, the white fox forced itself to recount the entire story.

After saying that, the little fox's head drooped, and it slammed its head on the ground, completely losing consciousness.

"Squeak—"

The door slammed shut.

Fengxiao turned her head back.

Qi Yu opened the door listlessly, her eyes still swollen, but she no longer exuded the same despair and suffering as before.

Feng Xiao hesitated for a moment, then grabbed her hand and said, "Xiao Yu, don't be sad."

Qi Yu looked at him and said calmly, "Why should I be sad?"

She picked up the white fox from the ground, pried open its mouth, and stuffed a pill inside.

"My mother's wish has finally come true, I should be happy for her."

Feng Xiao's eyes dimmed slightly as if he was thinking of something. "I am also happy for her."

Qi Yu placed the white fox on the bed, then used a restriction to trap it, before turning and walking towards the door.

"Yes, even if she has no worries, I should live on as she wishes."

Hua Liu spared no effort, even if it took countless years, to fight for a glimmer of hope for her.

How could she possibly go against her wishes?

This is not the end yet.

The crisis is not over yet, and the Boundless Continent is still fraught with danger. The most important thing is probably the Demon God Qi Yan, whom the female protagonist, Fen Xin, longs for.

Although Fenxin regards Qiyan as a deity and uses all the beautiful words to describe her, her words may also reveal a devastating ending.

The azure flames that consumed everything.

Will she be able to ascend to immortality before Burning Heart awakens Qi Yan?

Even if she becomes an immortal, what will happen to her companions on the Boundless Continent?

Qi Yu's expression was calm, and his body exuded an aura of a powerful and intimidating presence.

With a flick of her right hand, a golden willow branch appeared in her palm.

It was the same branch that Hua Liu had summoned that time. After Qi Yu took the golden elixir that the willow branch had transformed into, he fell into a beautiful dream.

In that dream, her mother had already given her instructions.

But now is not the time.

We still need to wait.

Qi Yu carefully put away the willow branch, raised her head, and walked towards the council hall.

The clouds dispersed and the rain stopped, and it was another sunny day.

...

Council Hall.

Ninety-nine lightning bolts struck the hearts of everyone present with a thunderous roar.

This power is indeed that of a tribulation lightning strike during the tribulation stage.

"I wonder if that senior will be able to successfully survive the tribulation..."

"If it succeeds, the cultivation world will have another great figure."

"I really want to know which senior it is..."

The elders discussed among themselves, their faces filled with barely concealed worry and curiosity.

Yun Gui had a stern face, seemingly lost in thought.

Finally, the thunder stopped, and everyone's heavy hearts felt a little lighter.

"Ah, I wonder what the outcome will be..."

"It should have been a success, right?"

The elders cautiously looked at Yun Gui, who was seated in the main seat. One of them said, "Sect Master, should we go and check on him? In case that senior is unconscious, we can look after him."

"Yes, yes, it's a tribulation that's taking place in our Flying Star Sect, so we should do our part as hosts."

Yun Gui tapped rhythmically on the table with her small hands, glancing at the communication jade talisman placed to the side.

After a long pause, he finally said, "What's the rush? She'll be here in a bit."

"?"

What does Yun Gui mean by that?

The elders began to speculate whether Yun Gui knew about the Tribulation Transcending stage expert.

However, he showed no intention of continuing to speak, so everyone had no choice but to continue waiting.

Another half hour passed, and a slender figure slowly entered the council hall.

"Look, look! A senior in the Tribulation Transcending stage has arrived!!" an elder exclaimed excitedly, pointing at the figure.

"She seems to be a senior female colleague!"

"Ah! Senior's demeanor is truly extraordinary! This aura of a powerful figure..."

Upon recognizing the newcomer, the elder, who had been speaking in an exaggerated tone, suddenly became speechless, as if choked.
