That one glance felt like an eternity.

That one glance seemed to separate life and death.

Shang Xiye seemed to experience again the endless worry, despair, and helplessness she felt when facing death in her previous life.

Ji Fengyao had never seen such a gaze in Shang Xiye's or her master's eyes before. Even without saying a word, she could feel his boundless affection.

He loves her.

Perhaps it far exceeded her expectations.

Ji Fengyao even had a misconception: perhaps her master had loved her deeply in the past, but his love was too hidden and too profound, and he always acted too nonchalantly and never took things seriously, so she didn't notice.

"Your Highness?" Ji Fengyao couldn't help but send a telepathic message, straightening her petite body slightly from the back of the ghost mask, intending to go to Shang Xiye's side.

Upon hearing her real voice, Shang Xiye smiled gently and whispered, "I'm fine, just stay there."

"These tribulation clouds look extraordinary. Make sure you wear the Heaven-Covering Stone carefully. Your tribulation should be almost over. If necessary, stay away from those demonic cultivators and avoid getting too tainted by demonic energy, lest the tribulation mistake you for a demonic cultivator and kill you along with them." Ji Fengyao had never been so nagging and earnest in her admonitions.

Shang Xiye wasn't annoyed at all; on the contrary, she felt warm and soft-hearted listening to her, and her tone was incredibly gentle: "Okay, I'll act according to the situation."

"boom!"

finally!

A thunderous roar, as if it were about to shatter the heavens, exploded over Ensa City!

Everyone in Ensa was alarmed.

Seeing the blood-red sky that looked like hell had descended, many elderly people couldn't help but kneel down and kowtow, repenting for their actions and begging for forgiveness from heaven.

Regardless of age or gender, everyone was gripped by fear born of ignorance, and no one knew what to do.

People saw:

A bolt of white lightning, as thick as a water bucket, shot out from the blood-red millstone and landed on the city wall east of Ensa, near the direction of Dazhao.

moment!

That magnificent section of the city wall evaporated like water, disappearing without a trace, leaving only a charred crater about three meters in diameter on the ground!

The people of Black Purgatory and the soldiers of Di Kingdom who were still on both sides of the broken wall watched as the city wall in front of them and their comrades on it disappeared completely without even a scream or a sound!

Such a terrifying scene!

Leave everyone speechless!

"boom!"

"Boom! Boom!"

The Heavenly Tribulation disregarded the feelings of the mortals on earth, focusing solely on its duty to slay the demons.

Several more earth-shattering explosions rang out, and almost the entire southeastern wall of Ensa vanished!

The Black Purgatory people and Di soldiers on the city wall were also reduced to ashes, their souls vanished!

The range of this tribulation lightning was too large, and the intervals between its attacks were extremely short.

Even with the Heaven-Covering Stone on his body, Shang Xiye was almost hit by the tribulation lightning. Despite his quick reaction, a corner of his clothes was still scorched by the lightning.

In that instant of sparks and flashes of light.

Ji Fengyao could no longer sit still.

"Your Highness!"

She let out a soft cry and rushed over without a care, throwing herself into Shang Xiye's arms.

The lightning strike didn't frighten Shang Xiye, but the little bandit's sudden embrace startled him. He first pulled her tightly into his arms, then quickly pushed her away, saying, "Yaoyao! What are you doing here!"

"Your Highness! I also have the Heaven-Covering Stone on me!" The little bandit girl quickly rushed back. "Your Highness, we promised that no matter what, we would stay together. I'm scared of this sight. Please don't send me away."

As Shang Xiye held the soft, fragrant woman in his arms and listened to the little bandit's affectionate and sweet words, his eyes immediately welled up with tears.
