Chapter 131 Didn't you come looking for me? I've come. ...

"Charm array attack!" Senior Sister Zhanfeng gave the order again.

All the disciples of the Sanqing Sect simultaneously dropped their cannons, and the next second, each of them had a stack of talismans in their hands.

"Take this blast from me!" A disciple of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion threw out a stack of blasting talismans, instantly blasting a group of cultivators away.

Unlike psionic cannons, explosive tags explode, sending blood, flesh, and bone fragments flying everywhere, making for a much bloodier scene.

"Ahhh, help! There's still some left!"

"Why do they have so many supplies???"

Amidst the deafening explosions, the cries of the Allied forces could be heard.

Many people were driven to despair by the relentless attacks. Despite having an overwhelming numerical advantage, they were being overwhelmed by the Sanqing Sect.

Seeing that the young disciples below were in a critical situation, the Valley Master of Sword King Valley snorted coldly in the sky. His avatar swung his greatsword, and with just one strike, he directly cut off several mountain peaks and took away countless young lives.

"Swordsman, how dare you!?" Liu Xianyue's eyes widened, her pupils seemingly spitting fire.

Above the sky, the other Mahayana cultivators were stunned for a moment. Everyone looked at the Valley Master of Sword King Valley in surprise, not expecting him to attack the young disciples below.

Most of the high-level cultivators present hadn't actually tried to kill the younger disciples; those who died in the fighting were only a minority. If the Mahayana cultivators were to unleash their full power, not a single disciple from any of the sects present would survive.

"How could I not dare? I'm the one who's going to kill your Sanqing Sect disciples!" Yin Laogui laughed loudly, and with a wave of his soul banner, countless ghostly shadows rushed towards the Sanqing Sect. Instantly, countless young disciples were enveloped by the ghostly shadows and disappeared into the thick ghostly mist.

Liu Xianyue watched helplessly as those young disciples died inexplicably. She could no longer control her anger and swung her flaming longsword down.

With a furious strike, he swept across the enemy ranks, instantly killing countless young cultivators.

Attacks of this caliber render anyone below the Great Ascension level as an ant. The ground battlefield instantly transformed into a living hell.

Countless young geniuses, like fallen leaves swept up by a raging storm, were swallowed up by the clash of swords. Geniuses who had not yet matured were ultimately unable to withstand the onslaught of the hurricane.

A female cultivator from the Sanqing Sect clutched her bleeding neck, futilely trying to save her life.

The next second, a ghostly hand attacked from behind, piercing straight through her abdomen.

"Why..." She struggled to open her eyes wide as she fell backward, gazing at the blood-red sky, her eyes filled with bewilderment. Their sect leader was fighting a bloody battle for this land, and these people wanted to exterminate them all.

As the battlefield below crumbled, the battlefield above also fell into a disadvantageous position. This time, the enemy forces were even greater, so much so that each Mahayana cultivator from the Three Pure Ones Sect had to face two or three enemies simultaneously.

Liu Xianyue single-handedly held off six or seven enemy generals, and the sect's guardian beast, the Dragon Python Rock, also blocked the siege of nearly ten Mahayana cultivators, barely managing to hold on and avoid immediate defeat.

However, the ancient body of the Dragon Python Rock, which stretched for tens of thousands of feet, was covered with cracks. Countless magical attacks landed on it, and small mountain-sized rocks kept falling from the sky, crashing onto the ground and stirring up a lot of dust.

This elder who had protected the Sanqing Sect for countless years was truly too old. Her rocky body, covered in cracks, could no longer withstand the siege of several Mahayana cultivators, yet she still stood in front of everyone, using her cracked body to protect them.

"Senior Yan, please leave quickly, don't worry about us!" the elder of Zhenfeng shouted in a hoarse voice.

However, in that instant of distraction, a vicious attack pierced through her chest, and half of her body instantly exploded into a bloody mist.

The eerie laughter of the old ghost echoed across the sky: "None of you will escape today."

"roar!!!"

The dragon python roared in anguish, and countless chains of laws bound her body. This ancient guardian beast was torn to pieces, and its broken body fell from the sky.

The thunderous crash to the ground, like the mournful tolling of a death knell, resonated in the hearts of every disciple of the Sanqing Sect.

"Why bother? A great calamity is imminent. How unwise it is to deplete the fighting strength of human cultivators like this!" A Mahayana cultivator stroked his long beard and sighed hypocritically.

"Shameless scoundrels, how dare you talk about the greater good of humanity?" Liu Xianyue roared hoarsely, her eyes bloodshot and her cheeks covered in blood.

The Vermilion Bird True Fire burned beside her, her grief and indignation almost burning through the heavens.

"Sect Master Liu, you should stop now. If you continue fighting, your Myriad Manifestations Pavilion will be completely wiped out of the Nine Provinces," another Mahayana cultivator advised.

"Screw you! I'll drag you scum down with me even if I die!" Liu Xianyue's body erupted in flames as she swung her flaming longsword at the enemy ranks.

A crimson blade flashed across the sky, and just then, an unexpected change occurred.

Boundless darkness enveloped the earth and obscured the blood-red sky. Dark, ominous clouds pressed down on everyone's heads, as if countless thunder dragons roared within them, their terrifying pressure silencing the entire battlefield.

"Heavenly Tribulation? Why would someone be undergoing tribulation at this time?"

"These thunderclouds... are terrifying, let's get out of here!"

Terrified screams erupted from the crowd. Those with lower cultivation levels were so frightened that they went limp and scrambled away into the distance, their hands and feet trembling.

The Mahayana cultivators engaged in fierce battle in the sky also paused for a moment. All of them had a solemn expression on their faces. With their divine sense, they could scan tens of thousands of miles around with just a thought, but they could not find out who had summoned the tribulation lightning.

The thunderclouds above were still brewing, the thunder dragons rolled, and all living beings trembled, until the young disciples below were almost unable to breathe under the pressure.

"Snap!"

A golden bolt of lightning swept across the sky, but instead of striking downwards, it tore a golden path through the dark heavens.

Golden lightning illuminated the heavens and the earth. As everyone looked up, they saw a figure stepping out from the dazzling golden passage.

Clad in white, her red belt around her waist was even more vibrant than the blood-soaked, bone-shard-covered earth, and her silver hair danced wildly in the lightning.

She was enveloped in lightning-patterned laws, and with each step she took, the void trembled beneath her feet, and the emanating golden ripples directly struck down thousands of people.

Bai slowly raised her eyes and looked ahead. No one dared to meet her gaze. Her eyes held images of stars collapsing and the universe cycling. Just being swept by her gaze caused many cultivators present to feel excruciating pain in their souls and almost to be annihilated.

“You…didn’t you come looking for me? I’m here!” Bai Ye said loudly.

"Who was it that caused such a commotion? It turns out to be you, you little beast." Yin Laogui chuckled.

"You little beast, prepare to die!" The Valley Master of Sword King Valley raised his hand and pointed a finger at Bai Ye. This seemingly casual finger was actually enough to kill a Tribulation Transcending cultivator.

"You old beast, you're the one who deserves to die." Bai also decisively slapped out with his palm.

"Buzz!" The heavens and earth trembled, the laws resonated, and a giant hand of law, shimmering with starlight, appeared in the sky and slapped forward.

This giant hand is extremely terrifying. It contains a celestial map, with countless stars flowing in its palm. The power of a single palm strike is enough to make billions of stars fall at the same time.

Even with such power, no one present thought that Bai Ye's palm strike could withstand the full force of a Mahayana cultivator's attack.

Liu Xianyue flashed and appeared in front of Bai Ye, ready to block the attack for her.

The next second, the giant hand of law collided with the finger of law in mid-air.

The scenario that everyone had anticipated—the finger piercing through the giant hand—did not occur. The moment the two made contact, the world was silent. Only the finger of law shattered inch by inch from the fingertip to the base of the giant hand.

The massive hand continued its relentless advance, as if the obstacle in its path was nothing more than an insignificant mosquito, pressing down with unstoppable force.

The contemptuous look on the face of the Valley Master of Sword King Valley vanished instantly. He hadn't expected Bai Ye to be able to block his full-force attack. By now, it was too late to change his move.

He raised his longsword, but before he could even swing it once, the great hand of law was already upon him.

The giant hand of stars crushed down, annihilating the sword light. Under the gaze of countless eyes, the Valley Master of Sword King Valley was slammed into the depths of the ground by this palm strike.

"Boom!"

The earth shook violently, and a gigantic palm print, tens of thousands of feet deep, appeared on the ground.

"You little beast, I'll kill you!" The Valley Master of Sword King Valley roared inhumanly, his robes torn and his hair disheveled as he flew out from the depths of the earth.

"You're nothing to fear," Bai Ye uttered in a low voice, his figure flashing as he headed towards the sky full of tribulation lightning.

After brewing for so long, the golden lightning in the sky fell again. Instead of retreating, Bai advanced and charged towards the golden lightning.

"You're courting death!" the Valley Master of Sword King Valley roared, raising his sword to strike again.

Liu Xianyue drew her sword and blocked the attack, saying, "You old beast, your opponent is me."

The two clashed once again under the tribulation lightning.

"This child has already shown her potential; we cannot allow her to successfully overcome her tribulation," roared the old ghost of the underworld.

The island lord of Liangyi Island made the first move, unleashing a series of Liangyi sword strikes.

The auras of the remaining dozen or so Mahayana cultivators surged instantly, their natal magic weapons tearing through the sky, and they also blasted towards Bai Ye in the lightning tribulation.

The peak masters of the Three Pure Ones Sect intervened, and dozens of Mahayana cultivators clashed again. It was a chaotic battle, and one that only involved high-level cultivators. The younger disciples had already scattered and retreated.

The scene of a group of Mahayana cultivators fighting each other under the lightning tribulation was unprecedented. No one in the Nine Provinces had ever dared to interfere with another person's lightning tribulation in this way.

Thousands of thunder dragons roared angrily as they poured down, each golden bolt of lightning containing the karma of the Heavenly Dao, scorching the flesh of the crowd and shattering their physical forms.

Bai Ye suffered an even more horrific fate under the lightning tribulation, which was intensified many times over. Her flesh and blood were torn apart, her hair was dry, her skin was charred black, and blood gushed from her mouth.

She paid no attention to this, her star-studded eyes fixed on the ghostly figure in the distance, letting the tribulation lightning strike without resistance, and rushing towards the old ghost.

Growing up in a single-parent family, she inevitably faced bullying from other children. Having grown up amidst group fights, she understood a crucial principle: in a group fight, you only need to target one person; at worst, it's a one-for-one exchange.

"Get out of my way!" Yin Laogui roared angrily, his ghostly aura surging as he tried to slap Bai Ye away. His cultivation technique, which relied on Yin and evil ghostly energy, was most afraid of the extremely strong and Yang lightning.

"Old ghost, didn't you want to find me all this time? Now I'm here!" Bai also grabbed Yin Laogui's arm tightly, refusing to let go.

Yin Laogui formed his five fingers into claws and went straight for Bai Ye's dantian. "You with only the cultivation of a Nascent Soul cultivator dare to challenge me? I will kill you."

Bai blocked the attack with her arm, not caring if her hand bones were broken. She looked at the golden lightning that had been brewing to its limit above and spat a mouthful of blood directly onto the other person's face. "Old ghost, are you trying to destroy my foundation or take my life?"

Yin Laogui looked up and saw that the thunderclouds in the sky had condensed into a terrifying vortex. A golden divine lightning bolt that stretched across the heavens and earth crashed down, its dazzling golden light devouring everything.

The two entangled individuals were instantly reduced to two black skeletons by the lightning. Even so, Bai Ye's hand remained firmly gripping the old ghost's arm.

"You little beast!!! How dare you destroy my body! I will never let you get away with this!"

Yin Laogui's primordial spirit let out a shriek. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw the two charred skeletons. They also saw a slightly dim primordial spirit fly out from the charred skeletons and turn into a stream of light, hastily fleeing back to the warship of the Ghost Control Sect.

Before everyone's eyes, the charred body that had lost its primordial spirit was casually struck by another charred body and turned into ashes in the wind, scattering in the wind.

This scene stunned everyone. Yin Laogui was a powerful cultivator, yet he suffered such a great loss at the hands of this junior.

"Click...click..."

To the astonishment of the crowd, the charred skeleton turned around, and pieces of charcoal-like old skin kept peeling off its body.

She grinned, revealing a set of pearly white teeth, and bared them at the crowd: "Next, it's your turn, Swordsman."

"Go, go quickly!!!" Someone shouted, and a group of Mahayana cultivators, like startled birds, quickly retreated from the area covered by lightning.

Upon seeing this, Liu Xianyue immediately shouted, "Let's retreat too! If we stay any longer, the little tiger will be terrified!"

In the blink of an eye, only Bai Ye remained under the thunderclouds, or rather, only a skeleton, because her flesh and blood had been completely destroyed in the tribulation.

The two groups of people faced each other across the sky filled with thunderclouds.

Bai Ye's tribulation lightning always defied common sense, perhaps because she was from another world. Zhong Jiuli only faced nine chaotic tribulations when she broke through to the True Immortal Realm, while she, having only entered the Nascent Soul stage, faced seemingly endless tribulations of lightning striking down one after another.

The charred skeleton continuously cracked and reformed amidst the lightning. Each rebirth after extreme destruction represented a transformation. If one could withstand it, one's strength would naturally increase. However, many people simply could not withstand this seemingly endless tribulation of lightning.

"How can there be so many? There must be more than two hundred lightning tribulations!" someone from the Sanqing Sect exclaimed in surprise.

“Not just that, I’ve been counting since the beginning, it’s already over three hundred,” another Tianji Pavilion disciple said with a worried expression.

"It's over, the troublemaker can't take it anymore, her body has collapsed."

Amidst the lightning, Bai Ye's body crumbled repeatedly, eventually losing its human form and shrinking into a charred tiger cub the size of a palm.

This tiger cub was really small; even newborn cubs were bigger than her. Yet, this little tiger cub endured blow after blow from the golden tribulation lightning.

"How come there are still more? There are already 360 lightning bolts. Isn't this heavenly lightning too unreasonable?"

"Perhaps it was us who affected this junior's tribulation," said the peak master of Medicine Peak. Her eyes were full of pity. Anyone would feel sorry for the little tiger cub who was struck by lightning for rushing out to help.

"This is the last one, now that there are 365." The peak master of the array said this. She was proficient in the way of arrays and had already seen that this tribulation lightning was related to the Star Body that Bai Ye cultivated.

Sure enough, the last tribulation lightning took an exceptionally long time to prepare, and when it struck, the world was almost engulfed by its golden light.

"Boom!"

Thunder roared, and the heavens and earth trembled.

Below the calamity clouds, the charred tiger cub was instantly blasted into black smoke by the final bolt of lightning.

As the thunderclouds dissipated and the sky brightened again, everyone looked anxiously into the sky. Where Bai Ye had been, she was nowhere to be seen, leaving only a golden sphere of light floating silently.

"Was he struck dead?"

"I don't think so? I think I can sense her presence in that ball of light."

People were talking excitedly, all looking up at the golden orb that radiated endless divine light.

"You're playing tricks! Die!" The island lord of Liangyi Island was the first to draw his sword, slashing down at the golden ball of light.

"Awooo~~"

The tiger cub roared, a golden sphere of light exploded, and the reborn tiger cub stood in the air, with golden wings on its back, its new fur as white as snow and as black as ink, each hair flowing with starlight and golden lightning.

As the sword light approached, the king mark between the little tiger's eyebrows lit up with a dazzling light, and the sword light instantly and silently melted away under this king mark.

Everyone present felt the boundless pressure emanating from the King's Mark, as if all the laws of killing and destruction in the world were condensed within it, making it extremely terrifying.

“Such bloodline is extraordinary; this child cannot be kept.”

A white-haired Mahayana cultivator suddenly sprang up, his withered hand tearing through the void and appearing directly in front of Bai Ye.

At the same time, the Valley Master of Sword Man attacked, his frost-white sword light aimed straight at Bai Ye's brow, intending to annihilate her soul in one blow.

The two attacked with incredible speed, almost in the blink of an eye, their attacks reaching Bai Ye's side.

Bai Ye showed no fear on her face. She raised her tender tiger claws, and golden claw light soared into the air. Behind her, an extraordinary white tiger dharma image emerged. It was different from the dharma image she had cultivated. It was an ancestral dharma image summoned from her bloodline, just like Liu Xianyue's Vermilion Bird dharma image.

The White Tiger Dharma Form simultaneously swung its claws, forcefully countering two deadly attacks.

“A Nascent Soul cultivator is fighting a Mahayana cultivator head-on; this fiend cannot be allowed to live,” another sect leader shouted.

Everyone was terrified. If Bai Ye didn't die today, he would surely destroy their lineage in the future.

They unleashed their deadly moves simultaneously, attempting to kill Bai Ye.

The Vermilion Bird cried out and emerged from the flames. The Vermilion Bird, its body engulfed in divine fire, spread its wings and stood protectively in front of Bai Ye, shielding her and blocking all deadly attacks.

"Liu Xianyue, you can't stop us!"

"That little tiger must die."

The crowd roared in fury, unleashing a barrage of deadly attacks.

"Liu Xianyue, don't block my way! I'm going to kill them!" Bai Ye roared in a childish voice. After transforming into her true form, her voice also changed back to that of a cub.

"Go, hide in the back." With a flap of its wings, the Vermilion Bird sent Bai flying from the center of the battlefield.

Seeing the little tiger leap into the air, everyone immediately changed direction and attacked her. Clearly, they had already listed Bai as their primary target.

Many great sects have been suppressed by Zhong Jiuli for tens of thousands of years, and they really don't want the Sanqing Sect to produce a second Zhong Jiuli.

Bai was slapped out of the center of the battlefield, but the next second, she flashed back into the crowd.

The island lord of Liangyi Island was fighting against the peak lord of Zhenfeng who was blocking his pursuit when Bai Ye's sudden appearance caught him off guard.

Bai also swung his claw, and the golden claw light arrived in an instant, piercing through the Mahayana cultivator's protective domain with a single claw strike.

With a tearing sound, flesh and blood shattered, and as the golden claw pierced through the opponent's chest, it also tore off most of his body.

Bai Ye held the body, which contained a large amount of essence and blood, in her hand. Without blinking, she released a burst of true solar fire and roasted it on the spot.

"Ah!!! You little beast!!" The island lord of Liangyi Island screamed in agony, his eyes bloodshot as the excruciating pain made it almost impossible for him to maintain his balance.

The peak master of the formation who was fighting him would not miss the opportunity. With a swing of his sword, the head, which was filled with ferocity and resentment, was directly separated from his body.

"Primordial Spirit!" Bai shouted a reminder.

"Don't worry, it can't escape." The Peak Master of the Array Peak laughed loudly, throwing out an array plate that firmly trapped the head.

Having succeeded in his attack, Bai Ye's figure once again vanished into the void, seeking his next target.

She was like a ghost on the battlefield, appearing silently and deadly every time.

Thanks to her unpredictable interference, many people were unable to exert their full strength in battle, and the originally tilted battle situation was barely kept in balance.

However, everyone present was an old monster who had lived for countless years; how could they just passively take the beating?

Soon, someone deliberately created an opening, pretending to fight with all their might, while secretly sealing off the space around them, waiting for the tiger cub to appear before striking it dead with a thunderous blow.

Bai also suffered several heavy blows in succession, and several bloody marks appeared on her snow-white fur. Each wound was so deep that the bone was visible, almost splitting her in two.

Liu Xianyue noticed her injuries and immediately became anxious. She shouted at the top of her lungs, "Go away, you stinking tiger, get out of here and don't risk your life!"

"You've injured so many people and still want to leave? This little beast must die today!" The Valley Master of Swordman Valley roared, his sword light soaring into the sky as he slashed at Bai Ye, who was fleeing in a sorry state.

"snort!"

A cold snort rang out from the heavens, and the entire battlefield froze. Endless power of laws bound this place, and the killing move that had already reached Bai Ye was strangely frozen in mid-air.

The Mahayana cultivators present were all shocked. They all turned their heads to look at the sky, where two warships were flying through the air.

On one of the leading warships, a large white flag fluttered in the wind, and a tall figure dressed in a black phoenix robe flew out from the warship.

She took a step forward and went straight to the center of the battlefield, reaching out to hold the bloodied tiger cub in her arms.

"Grandma, what brings you here?"

Grandma Bai affectionately stroked the little tiger's head, "If your great-grandmother hadn't come, your fur would have been stripped off."

Bai Shu, who arrived a step behind, rushed forward, took her daughter from her grandmother's arms, and examined her carefully in her palms. Her voice was full of concern: "How did you get injured like this? Did those old scoundrels beat you up?"

Bai didn't rush to answer. Instead, he leaned over to look at Grandma Bai and asked in a low voice, "Great-Grandma, can you beat those people on the other side?"

"Nonsense! With your great-grandmother around, even if you tear the sky apart, someone will be there to fix it for you!" Bai Shu said loudly, her eyes red. Her child was so adorable; how could these people do such a thing?

Bai Ye immediately felt confident and pointed at each of them with his little paws. "Oh, it's them!! Him, that old man with the white beard, that swordsman, and that ghost thing, they all tried their best to kill me. Look at the wound on my paw, that's what the swordsman did. He almost cut me to pieces."

Her little paws pointed at more than a dozen people in a row, almost including most of the Mahayana cultivators present.

Following the claws of the old woman, everyone whose gaze swept over her felt a chill run down their spines and thought to themselves, "Oh no!" How could this old hag have broken through so quickly?

"Everyone, I need an explanation." The old lady Bai spoke calmly, as if chatting casually, without revealing even a trace of murderous intent.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the old woman was not going to kill anyone. If that was the case, then everything could be discussed.

The white-haired Mahayana cultivator bowed respectfully and explained, "Patriarch Bai, there's more to this than meets the eye..."

Before he could finish speaking, the old lady Bai waved her sleeve, and a chain of laws wrapped in chaotic energy flew out from her sleeve.

The chains of law arrived in an instant, binding the white-haired old cultivator into a dumpling.

"Patriarch Bai, what is this?" The old cultivator with white hair and beard was filled with fear. Faced with the old lady Bai's thunderous attack, he didn't even have time to react.

The old lady Bai stretched out a hand and slowly clenched it in front of everyone, causing the chains of law to instantly contract.

"Bang!"

A cloud of blood mist exploded in the air, and the old cultivator's primordial spirit shattered on the spot, unable to escape the control of the chains of law.

"What I want is an explanation." Old Mrs. Bai flicked her sleeves, her peaceful gaze sweeping over the silent crowd.

"Not an explanation!"

A thunderous strike that stunned the entire arena.

-----------------------

Author's note: [Hugs] The couple are exactly the same, both like to summon lightning to strike people, but the little brat's coolness only lasts for three seconds. Great-Grandma is still the best. The head of the family is different, with her aura fully unleashed.
