Thunder Punishment

Qingxuan: "Thank you, Lord of the Underworld, for bringing this news."

Rong Shang: "You're welcome. Also, regarding the matter of the demon world that you asked me to investigate last time, there is news. It is said that although the Nine-tailed Fox clan has no members missing, they are actually being secretly controlled by someone. I think what the Nine-tailed Fox that Ah Yan encountered said is a little true.

Similar situations have occurred not only within the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, but also within other major families in the demon world, and these have even involved the lineage of the demon lords. The entire demon world is in turmoil and unrest, but the exact individual causing this unrest has yet to be identified."

Qingxuan's eyes darkened: "The demon world is in turmoil..."

Rong Shang said solemnly, "Indeed, the Demon King's seven princes have been assassinated, leaving only one son and one princess. Rumor has it in the demon world that this is the revenge of the Zhongli clan."

Yan Zhu: "Zhongli clan?"

Qingxuan explained, "The Zhongli clan is an ancient royal family in the demon world, ruling the demon world for thousands of years, until hundreds of years ago, when a minister usurped power. After a bloody storm, the world changed, and the current demon king came into being."

I see.

Yan Zhu: "Next time I meet the Nine-Tailed Fox, I'll ask again. However, if other realms don't have permission to intervene in the turmoil in the demon world, they shouldn't be able to intervene, right?"

Qingxuan nodded: "This is the rule of the six realms. Even in the doujin world, after a prayer, the priests of corresponding positions can intervene within a reasonable range."

Rong Shang said, "As it should be. Zhu Ru and Qin Yuan acted in response to the prayers from the human realm. However, you have just dealt with Yan Fan and still have to face the thunder punishment. You may not be able to handle the affairs of the human realm. I will ask Qin Yuan to investigate first and then let you know the truth."

"That couldn't be better." Qingxuan said.

Rong Shang said in a relaxed tone, "Let's do that then. I'll send someone to deliver the Yin Ming Stone. I wish you success in your punishment."

Yan Zhu hung the pendant back around her neck, and the Xuanming True Water inside flashed a tiny light.

Qing Xuan withdrew his gaze from that thin white figure and said, "You have just been promoted to the True Lord level, and your cultivation is not stable yet. Take advantage of today and tomorrow to practice more."

Yan Zhu pondered for a moment, "I'm going to the secret realm to practice, so I might as well try to see if I can get closer to the underground of the secret realm. Perhaps Xiwei's guqin is there too."

Qingxuan: "Do you want me to accompany you in your training?"

"Need not."

Yan Zhu refused without a second thought, took the Secret Realm Stone and Secret Realm Pearl from the man's hand, thanked him, and turned to leave, but Qing Xuan stopped her, saying, "It's unsafe for you to be alone in the Lone Realm. How about staying in Lan Fang Palace for the next two days?"

"?" Yan Zhu was puzzled. "I'm not afraid. They can't beat me."

Qingxuan smiled openly and said seriously, "I'm afraid. You know that my cultivation has been completely lost. No one can defeat me."

"God, I need you."

Yan Zhu glanced at the man, her forehead throbbing fiercely: "How long will it take?"

The woman's question was incoherent, but Qingxuan understood the meaning. She was asking how long she would continue to perform after losing all her cultivation.

He said, "When the time is right, why don't you want to be with me?"

Yan Zhu rolled her eyes at the mysterious answer and the inexplicable and inappropriate joke. "Whatever you say."

——

Three days later, the Thunder Punishment Platform in the Divine Realm.

Jinhuang looked unhappy. She looked around and saw that the three inner and outer layers were filled with people watching the fun.

"I thought that the Heavenly Sovereign would turn a blind eye due to our past friendship, but I didn't expect that he would be so ruthless that he would actually use thunder punishment."

Jiuli's tone was predictable: "The divine rules are strict and cannot be flouted. The rules cannot be broken because of one person."

Gui Zang looked solemnly at the calm figure on the Thunder Punishment Platform, as if it wasn't him who was being struck. He then looked up at the sky and said, "It's almost noon. Why hasn't Sister Yanzhu arrived yet?"

A strong wind suddenly arose, and dark clouds approached over the Thunder Execution Platform. Purple thunder gathered in the clouds, and pieces of lightning kept shining in the eyes of the gods.

“It’s horrible.”

"Spiritual energy is thin, and cultivation is difficult nowadays, but the power of the Heavenly Tribulation Thunder is increasing day by day. It's really unfair..."

"Oh, cultivators only know how to become gods, but what happens after becoming a god? To live as long as the heavens requires faith and merit. Otherwise, you will either be struck to death by lightning or perish."

"Live one day at a time. There's nothing to think about."

"Qingxuan Divine Lord is a close minister of the Heavenly Emperor, yet he can't even make concessions? It would be a shame if he were to die from the thunder punishment."

"This man is upright and polite. When he ascended to heaven, he predicted a great catastrophe in the human world with a single divination. People from all walks of life flocked to him for divination, like nobles crossing a river. He is the undisputed number one divination master in the six realms. If he dies..."

Some people lament the loss of talent, but others enjoy the show.

"He has harmed so many people, and now he was struck to death by lightning. This is probably retribution."

"Yes, aren't there enough people who have been brought bad luck by him?"

"In the past, I had the protection of the Purifying God. Today, I want to see how a person who has lost all his cultivation can withstand the punishment of thunder!"

"Didn't they say that the God of Purification is also here?"

"The purple lightning is about to fall, and you see there's no one here yet. It's obvious they're changing their minds at the last minute and won't help."

Suddenly, there was a loud noise in the sky, and purple lightning illuminated half the sky, interrupting everyone's chattering, and they all looked towards the Thunder Execution Platform.

The world was changing, but the figure on the stage remained motionless, as if waiting for the thunder to strike, or as if waiting for someone.

Gui Zang rose to mid-air, holding the Lightning-Inducing Pagoda in one hand, and glanced solemnly below: "Where is the Purifying God?"

Some people were so anxious that their hearts jumped into their throats, while others started to urge them on: "It's already noon, why haven't they started yet?!"

Qingxuan looked at Guizang and said slowly, "Thank you, Lord Guizang."

After he finished speaking, Gui Zang sighed, raised the Thunder Tower high, and a purple lightning bolt as thick as an adult's arm struck down from the black clouds in an instant. The power was so fierce that Qingxuan knelt on one knee with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

"Boom—"

The crowd was filled with mixed emotions. Some lamented the death of the genius fortune teller, while others were happy that he could not be killed by humans and would be punished by heaven. They waited for the arrival of the second purple thunder.

Jin Huang frowned, "No, Yan Zhu is a man of his words. If she hasn't appeared yet, something must have happened."

Jiuli's eyes were gloomy, but she didn't say anything.

Just as Jin Huang was about to turn around, she saw a golden light rushing towards her from a distance. "It's Yan Zhu!"

The gods all looked up.

"Great! Lord Qingxuan is saved!"

"Why are you in such a hurry? Even if Yan Zhu has reached the Jindan stage and possesses the cultivation level of a True Lord, it is still far from enough to withstand the purple thunder."

Wu Jiu urged through voice transmission: "Hurry up! Master!"

The second purple lightning is about to fall.

Yan Zhu glanced at the black clouds, then looked at the figure on the thunder execution platform who was holding on firmly and would fall down at the slightest breeze. She raised her hand to speed up, and finally stood in front of the man when the second thunder fell. She bit her fingertips, used the blood as a guide, and instantly held up a huge spiritual shield.

At the same time, she waved her sleeves to form a formation, and suddenly, a small formation containing the power of heaven and earth covered the entire platform.

"boom--"

"Bang--"

The moment the purple lightning hit the spiritual shield, there was a crackling sound, and the formation quietly dispersed the power of the lightning.

Yan Zhu turned her head and met Qing Xuan's smiling eyes. She immediately felt unhappy: "I am accepting the punishment. Can you please be more serious and give me the Yinming Stone?"

When the woman took the Stone of Attraction, she accidentally touched the man's fingertips, which were extremely cold, comparable to ice.

But he had no time to take care of it at the moment. Yan Zhu threw the Nether Stone into the air and it landed steadily above the spirit shield.

The second thunder was a close call.

Gui Zang breathed a sigh of relief and cursed, "I told you to be so stubborn. If it weren't for Sister Yanzhu, you would have been chopped to pieces!"

Everyone also discovered that Yan Zhu raised his hand to set up the formation during this brief gap.

The scene gradually became chaotic, and there was an uproar among the crowd——

"Thousand Thunder Spirit Formation?!"

"Isn't this the War God's technique?"

Here, Jiuli looked at Jinhuang: "Did you teach her?"

"Oh!" Jin Huang reached out and took the man's arm, in an intimate manner, "What's yours is mine. See how I teach you."

Jiuli looked at the high platform opposite, where Yan Zhu stood, his imposing aura as if he was standing alone against ten thousand enemies. "... Very good."

On the high platform, Qingxuan stared intently at Yanzhu who was busy in front of him, and the corner of his mouth curled up: "It seems that the secret realm has yielded a lot of rewards, and the foundation is solid, even better than before."

Yan Zhu took the time to say "hmm," "But we still can't get close to that underground area."

Yan Zhu noticed the onlookers in the audience out of the corner of her eye and felt annoyed, so she lowered her eyes slightly. When she raised them again, her pupils were already glowing with black light.

"No problem. I believe that one day, the God will get what he wants."

Seeing this, Qingxuan found a comfortable position, sat on the ground, and patted the seat next to him.

"Come and sit down."

"You seem quite at ease,"

In his second form, Yanzhu obviously became more talkative, and he only glanced at the gods who were watching the show outside, and then did not pay any attention to them.

Qing Xuan: "To be honest, with the Thousand Thunder Spirit Gathering Formation, the Netherworld Attracting Stone, and your strength, you can only withstand thirty-six attacks at most."

Yan Zhu thought for a moment and raised an eyebrow: "What should we do then?"

Qing Xuan said without hesitation: "It is my luck to perish with the God."

Yan Zhu has gradually become numb to such words. The speaker does not take them seriously, and the listener does not care.

Yan Zhu rolled her eyes and said, "Shut up. I still want to live. If you really can't bear it later, I will throw you out and use my body to withstand the thunder."

Facing the woman's threat, Qingxuan was about to say something when the third thunder came down quickly, followed by four or five more thunders, leaving no room for breathing!

"Boom—boom—"

Everyone present took a deep breath...

Who can withstand the purple thunder that comes one after another!

This is a penalty thunder!

Unexpectedly, even after thirty thunderbolts struck, Yan Zhu's spiritual shield was very stable, and the two people on the stage were relaxed and at ease, without any sign of panic.

Jin Huang's heart was relieved: "It seems that after Yan Zhu's cultivation level has increased, the defense of the spirit shield has also been strengthened."

The gods were greatly shocked. The cultivation of the Purifying God was so powerful...

On the high platform.

Qingxuan looked up at the dark clouds in the sky, his expression gradually becoming serious: "Not good."

"Hmm?" Yan Zhu followed the man's gaze and looked up into the sky.

As a result, the next second, after the black cloud brewed for a while, purple lightning fell on their heads one after another, with an oppressive feeling that was bound to kill the two of them -

"Boom—boom—"

“Click——”

"not good!"

Jin Huang's expression changed drastically, and he turned to Gui Zang and shouted, "What's going on?!"

Gui Zang frantically checked the Lightning Tower. After a blank expression, he waved his arms and shouted, "I don't know either!"

Just as Jin Huang was about to take off, Jiuli grabbed her waist and stopped her: "It's no use going! Calm down!"

“Click——”

"Long——"

The gods were all dazzled by the successive flashes of lightning, and were also deeply shocked by the figure on the high platform...

I saw that, accompanied by the sound of the sky collapsing and the earth whistling, the dark stone shattered into powder, and spider patterns appeared on the spiritual shield above the high platform. In less than a breath, it instantly shattered into tiny points of light!

Seeing this, Yan Zhu once again pinched her fingers to gather her spirit, her ten fingers quickly becoming afterimages, but someone was faster than her -
