Murong Yan was about to protect Qin Wan and retreat...

"Shall we stay?"

Murong Yan lowered his eyes, looking at her with confusion in his gaze.

"He is a chosen one blessed by Heaven. Even if we stay, Heaven shouldn't send down too much lightning tribulation, right?"

Upon hearing this, Murong Yan was taken aback at first, and then couldn't help but chuckle.

She does hold grudges.

"Heaven will certainly not want to harm him, but it's hard to say about you and me."

Even so, Murong Yan stopped leaving, put his arm around Qin Wan, and found a comfortable corner. He then took out a table, chairs, teapot, teacups, and other items from his Qiankun Ring.

"boom!"

As the first lightning bolt struck, Feng Yi's figure flew out from the icy pool and met the lightning tribulation head-on.

Just then, Jiang Liufeng and Nie Xiao appeared in front of Qin Wan and Murong Yan, one carrying a sword and the other a knife.

"Junior sister, junior brother, True Monarch Feng Yi is undergoing tribulation here, why haven't you left yet?" Senior Brother Jiang Liufeng asked.

"Yes, yes, one wrong move during the tribulation can lead to being caught in the crossfire."

"Moreover, this is a tribulation lightning for the Nascent Soul stage, which is not something that we Golden Core cultivators can withstand," said the second senior brother, Nie Xiao, in a very cooperative manner.

As they talked, the two men took out two stools and sat down. Without Murong Yan's invitation, they took out two teacups and handed them to him.

"Thank you for your trouble, junior brother."

"Thank you for your hard work, junior brother."

Qin Wan: "..."

"Since you two senior brothers have said so, why don't you leave quickly?" Qin Wan said, twitching her lips.

Jiang Liufeng immediately looked at her with disapproval, "Junior sister, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"I promised my master that I would protect you well."

"At this critical moment, how could I, as the senior brother, abandon you and desert my post?"

"I am determined to stand with you, my junior sister, through thick and thin!"

As he spoke, Jiang Liufeng raised his cup and drank the spiritual tea in one gulp. Feeling the rich spiritual energy surging through his body, Jiang Liufeng's eyes suddenly lit up.

He was right about the smell.

This is the rare and precious Drunken Heart Tea, which is so valuable in the cultivation world that even a Golden Core cultivator can break through to the next level after drinking a pot of it!

Thinking of this, Jiang Liufeng very consciously handed the empty teacup back to Murong Yan.

"Junior brother, thank you for your trouble."

Murong Yan glanced at him and said, "Pour it yourself."

Qin Wan: "..." In her opinion, protecting her was a pretense, and getting free tea was the real purpose.

"boom!"

As the group was talking, Feng Yi's second lightning tribulation struck.

In that instant, the stools on which the four people were sitting visibly trembled, and the table in front of them shook violently, showing signs of collapse.

Seeing this, the carefree Nie Xiao began to feel uneasy.

"Senior brother, I think this tribulation lightning is a bit scary. We two are fine, but junior sister is still a mortal. If she gets hurt, we won't be able to explain it to our master."

Jiang Liufeng glared at him irritably, "With Junior Brother here, Junior Sister has no chance of getting hurt."

Nie Xiao strongly disagreed with Jiang Liufeng's statement.

“Even if my junior brother’s cultivation is higher than yours or mine, he is only twenty-five years old this year. No matter how extraordinary he is, he can’t possibly be at the Nascent Soul stage.”

"Besides, even if Junior Brother is a Nascent Soul cultivator, we are now facing a Divine Transformation stage lightning tribulation. Even a Nascent Soul cultivator would find it difficult to protect himself."

"Not to mention protecting my junior sister who has no cultivation at all..."

Nie Xiao's words actually make a lot of sense.

But Jiang Liufeng still thought this junior brother was a hothead and lacked tact.

Who doesn't understand the profound principles he's talking about?

Since the junior brothers and sisters dared to stay, it means they have the ability to protect themselves.

Jiang Liufeng rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay any more attention to Nie Xiao's bluntness.

Seeing that his senior brother ignored him, Nie Xiao looked at Murong Yan and then at Qin Wan...

Okay, since everyone else is staying, he won't leave either.

"Boom boom boom!"

Three lightning bolts struck in succession. Feng Yi was focused on undergoing the tribulation, but out of the corner of his eye, he accidentally caught sight of four people drinking tea and watching the show below...

Feng Yi: "!!!"

Feng Yi's face turned ashen, and his hand holding the sword trembled.

That brat is going too far!

Enraged, Feng Yi gritted his teeth, gripped his sword, and met the lightning tribulation head-on, forcibly changing the direction of its descent...

A lightning tribulation imbued with intense killing intent surged toward Qin Wan and the others.

Qin Wan narrowed her eyes slightly and glanced coldly at the Heavenly Dao above...

"Am I seeing things?" Nie Xiao looked utterly bewildered.

"I think I saw it too," Jiang Liufeng said quietly.

"That lightning tribulation seemed to tremble in the air..." Nie Xiao murmured.

Even Murong Yan's eyes showed a very faint hint of surprise.

He saw it too.

Although he could easily block this lightning tribulation, he didn't really have the ability to make it tremble.

Thinking of this, Murong Yan's gaze swept over Qin Wan and the others one by one.

There must be other reasons, Murong Yan thought.

[Host, you're so mean.] The system, which had witnessed the whole thing, couldn't help but jump out and accuse Qin Wan.

"It attacked me first," Qin Wan said, raising an eyebrow with an innocent expression.

[...It was clearly Feng Yi who forcibly changed the direction of the lightning tribulation. The Heavenly Dao of this realm never dared to touch you, host, from the very beginning.] The system couldn't help but speak out for the Heavenly Dao.

"Doesn't it know who is undergoing tribulation?"

"If a perfectly good direction can be changed, isn't the problem with the Heavenly Dao itself?"

"If it had aimed just a little faster and attacked just a little more fiercely, could Feng Yi have easily changed the direction of the lightning tribulation?"

[...Regardless, Feng Yi is ultimately the chosen one of destiny by Heaven; how could it possibly kill him?]

"So, in the end, it's all the fault of Heaven."

"[...] That makes so much sense, I can't even refute it."

Realizing it couldn't win an argument with Qin Wan, the system wisely shut up and locked itself back in the dark room.

In mid-air.

What was originally a fairly standard tribulation of lightning turned into a rage of Heaven because of Qin Wan's glance and Feng Yi's suspected attempt to "evade" the tribulation...

In mid-air, thunderclouds churned, and the lightning tribulations that should have fallen in order seemed to suddenly go out of control and enter a violent state.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

More than a dozen bolts of lightning struck simultaneously...

Feng Yi's pupils contracted sharply, and his hand holding the sword trembled almost imperceptibly.

He originally intended to continue his evil deeds and alter the lightning tribulation to attack Qin Wan and the others.

With more than a dozen lightning bolts striking at the same time, all he could do was... save his life!

In mid-air, Feng Yishen dodged the lightning tribulation in a sorry state, awkwardly raising his sword to block one lightning tribulation after another.

"puff!"

In the end, Feng Yi was still caught off guard and successfully struck by the lightning tribulation, spitting out a mouthful of hot blood...

Seeing this, Qin Wan's lips curled slightly, and a faint look of satisfaction appeared in her eyes.

They have much better eyesight than the system.

Feng Yi's disheveled figure fell from the sky, kneeling on one knee, only able to steady his swaying body with the sword in his hand.

It was clearly a lightning strike that struck him, but it was the tribulation lightning that left him in such a sorry state...

But Feng Yi's eyes, filled with intense hatred, were fixed on Qin Wan and Murong Yan's location...
