Shangguan Hongyu tossed the letter aside, feeling conflicted, wondering whether to go or not.

Now that she has decided to step down from that position, she just wants to live a good life with Bian Lang and no longer interfere in court affairs.

"Go if you want to, don't go if you don't want to." Liu Yi advised Shangguan Hongyu not to worry too much, because it wasn't a big deal at all.

Shangguan Hongyu smiled and said, "If we don't go, and Wei Qingyi is unable to resolve this crisis, it will ultimately be the ordinary people who suffer. But if we go, and we resolve the crisis, the people will think Wei Qingyi is incompetent. I'm afraid all the officials will think so, which will be even more troublesome."

Liu Yi was unaware of the complexities of the imperial court.

But just thinking about the days when she was still in the Back Mountain Gang, the infighting and backstabbing within the gang was brutal, and I imagine the imperial court was a hundred times worse than any martial arts sect.

If you don't understand, don't speak recklessly.

We are now in a dilemma, and we really need to think carefully about how to choose.

Bian Lang laughed and said, "It's actually very simple. You can go and help, but apart from Wei Qingyi, don't let anyone know that we helped."

Shangguan Hongyu turned to look at Bian Lang, her gaze somewhat unfocused.

How could she not have thought of such a simple solution?

Bian Lang knew Shangguan Hongyu all too well; if the empire was in danger, Shangguan Hongyu would not stand idly by.

If we're going to interfere, it's best to do it discreetly so as not to disrupt their current lives.

After all, Shangguan Hongyu had been in that high position for ten thousand years and had a deep affection for this land and the people living on it. It was impossible for him to stand by and watch them die.

After they had finished discussing their plan, they were about to get up when they suddenly heard a loud bang from the sky.

Looking up, I saw that ominous clouds were gathering in the sky.

"It seems Brother Dugu is going to succeed this time," Bian Lang said with a smile.

Liu Yi laughed and said, "He's quite lucky. If we all leave, I'm afraid no one will help him block the lightning tribulation."

If a powerful figure helps to block the lightning during the tribulation, the chances of successfully breaking through will greatly increase.

“With Little Monkey here, he’ll help block for him,” Bian Lang said with a smile.

Sure enough, as soon as the tribulation clouds appeared, Sun Wukong was already on top of a large tree, looking up at the rapidly gathering tribulation clouds, his eyes shining with excitement.

For Sun Wukong, disrupting the tribulation lightning was also a form of cultivation.

Despite making no progress in cultivating the Seventy-Two Transformations, He was actually quite anxious.

There's no use in being anxious; we can only be patient and wait.

As the tribulation clouds formed and lightning bolts struck, Sun Wukong sprang into the air and waved his hand to block them.

However, for Sun Wuse, the tribulation of breaking through from the Core Formation Realm to the Nascent Soul Realm was nothing more than a painless experience, even if the lightning struck him.

But for Dugu Qiusheng, who was undergoing his tribulation, Sun Wukong's act of shielding him from the lightning was undoubtedly a great help.

Even with ample preparation, there's no guarantee of 100% success when it comes to overcoming tribulations; the possibility of various unexpected events along the way is very high.

Sun Wukong did not stop the final lightning tribulation, but left it to Dugu Qiusheng.

For Dugu Qiusheng, who was conserving his energy, this tribulation was a trial, and having gathered all his cultivation, he successfully withstood this incredibly terrifying tribulation.

If Sun Wukong hadn't shielded him from several lightning strikes beforehand, the final, most powerful lightning strike might have taken his life.

However, since he didn't have to worry about the previous lightning tribulations, Dugu Qiusheng was still able to handle the final lightning tribulation with ease.

Having successfully broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, Dugu Qiusheng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But when he appeared before the crowd, no one congratulated him.

Actually, it's very simple; breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm is nothing special.

Even if you manage to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm as soon as possible, there's nothing to be proud of.

Their goal is the celestial realm, which means they must become immortals.

If you can't become an immortal, what will you use to fight against the gods in the heavens?

However, Dugu Qiusheng did not have Liu Yi's awareness. He worked hard to cultivate, but he was only trying to catch up with Liu Yi's footsteps.

There are some things I want to say, but I won't be able to say them until I catch up with Liu Yi, because I lack the confidence.

"I have a feeling that you're hiding something from me." Dugu Qiusheng could tell that everyone's expression was off.

He has at least broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm. It's one thing not to congratulate him, but to put on a dead fish face, what exactly is he trying to do?

Liu Yi said calmly, "It's nothing, it's just that Bian Lang and Hong Yu are leaving again."

This time, Bian Lang and Shangguan Hongyu planned to go to the capital alone.

Liu Yi and the others stayed at Justice Fortress to cultivate diligently, ready to face any attacks from the Heavenly Realm.

Dugu Qiusheng didn't think it was a big deal. As a corpse driver, it was unrealistic for Bian Lang to stay in the same place all the time.

As long as Liu Yi doesn't leave this time, Dugu Qiusheng feels this is his best opportunity.

He has now broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm. Although he is still far behind Liu Yi, he feels that he has hope of catching up.

Dugu Qiusheng had a very strong fighting spirit towards this.

To win the heart of a beautiful woman, powerful cultivation alone is certainly not enough; the most useful weapon is still the companionship of spending every day together.

The next day, Bian Lang and Shangguan Hongyu left Zhengyi Fort and headed straight for the capital.

“Husband, such a big thing happened in the empire, but we haven’t heard any similar news. Don’t you think that’s strange?” Shangguan Hongyu frowned.

Bian Lang said, "We didn't deliberately try to find out what was going on in the court, so it's normal that we don't know."

"Is that really what you think?" Shangguan Hongyu asked with a smile.

Bian Lang said, "Actually, I feel this is more like a conspiracy, so it's best to be careful."
