The ninth bolt of heavenly lightning is also the strongest of all heavenly lightning bolts.
Within the clouds, slender lightning bolts, like a dense spider web, converged at a single point and struck straight down at Shang Yanting.
At that moment, Shang Yanting suddenly transformed into a giant, jet-black dragon, charging forward to meet the final bolt of heavenly lightning.
dragon!
It's a dragon!
Thunder and lightning exploded in the sky, illuminating Wan Qijing's reddened eyes.
Back then, she had gone through tremendous effort to obtain even a single dragon scale, almost losing herself in the process. Now, seeing an entire dragon, all she could see were dragon horns, dragon blood, dragon bones, and countless dragon scales!
Refining weapons and alchemy
These are all treasures!
Unexpectedly, she discovered such a huge secret about Shang Yanting after following him. She then summoned her natal magic weapon, the Myriad Star Umbrella.
The Wanxing Umbrella is made entirely of precious pearls, a treasure she obtained many years ago, which she usually keeps in her sleeve and rarely uses.
But once this umbrella is opened, the world immediately darkens and the sun and moon lose their light.
With a thought, one can manipulate all things in the world and kill countless living beings.
The Myriad Stars Umbrella expanded countless times, soaring above the black dragon. It then retracted its branches, completely enveloping the dragon's head. Inside the umbrella was a grand array arranged like constellations, concealing deadly dangers; being covered by the Myriad Stars Umbrella meant certain death!
However, just when Wan Qijing thought she had it all figured out, a sudden burst of golden light shone from within the Wanxing Umbrella. The sound of brocade tearing rang out, and the Wanxing Umbrella, which she cherished and protected, shattered into pieces, with gemstones falling to the ground.
The black dragon, with its long horns, swept up the unconscious person on the ground, coiled itself in space, and stared at her mercilessly.
Shang Yanting has broken through!
A whole new realm!
The black dragon leaped into the clouds, and Shang Yanting descended from the sky. Two long swords, Slaughter and Punishment, appeared out of thin air, and their blood-red sword energy slashed towards Wan Qijing.
Despite both being Martial Emperors, the Dragon Clan possesses a natural advantage in aptitude compared to humans. Not to mention, Wan Qijing is merely a product of artificial intervention and forced growth.
Two dazzling beams of light flashed by.
Only Shang Yanting remained in mid-air, locked in a standoff.
The stack of paper lightning-attracting talismans that the raccoon had once practiced drawing fell. Although their power was not as great as heavenly lightning, they were enough to scorch a corpse without spiritual protection.
Wan Qijing, whose face was originally filled with shock and resentment, was turned into a charred mess when the lightning struck.
Several other divine senses were also lingering nearby, but when they realized something was wrong, they tried to withdraw their divine senses and flee.
But can they still escape now?
Shang Yanting had already noticed them, and then he left none alive!
Within a radius of several dozen miles where he was undergoing his tribulation, only he and Jia Xitong remained.
The area was littered with corpses and cultivation artifacts, but he had no time to clean up and rushed toward Dingtian Academy.
Shang Yanting felt no joy at the breakthrough; when he saw Jia Xitong lying on the ground with her face covered in blood, his hands trembled as he held her.
"Save people!"
"Help! Save them!"
He returned to Xianlong Peak, and everyone followed him out.
The medical experts from Dingtian Academy were all invited, and various life-saving elixirs were brought back to prolong life.
"How is the miracle doctor?"
He looked at the doctors who had been invited and asked them about the situation.
"The girl is lucky to be alive, but she suffered a severe head injury and won't wake up for a while."
The fact that several doctors had said the same thing reassured Shang Yanting a little.
It was only then that he suddenly realized how limiting it was that there wasn't a single cultivator with superb medical skills within the peak.
After everyone around him left, he sat alone on the edge of the bed.
This wasn't the first time his precious baby had been lying here weakly.
He gently brushed his fingers across her face, then leaned down and touched her slightly cold cheek. "I'm sorry."
He will not let this happen again.

Shiming Peak
Among the Wanqi clan
As soon as Yan Qing of Xianlong Peak entered, he smashed up the ancestral hall of the Wanqi Clan. All the core members of the Wanqi Clan were taken away by Yan Qing, the peak master of Xianlong Peak.
In fact, Qu Haifeng was one step ahead of Shang Yanting.
When Wan Qijing was chasing Yan Qing, but only Yan Qing returned, she immediately guessed that Wan Qijing probably wouldn't be coming back.
The person she sent to find the Wanqi clan elder had arrived earlier, but as the dean, she had to maintain appearances, observe etiquette, and use a legitimate excuse. It was during this delay that Shang Yanting arrived.
Without saying a word, they simply packed the person up and took them away to Xianlong Peak.
Such swift and decisive action was something that ordinary cultivators on Qizhou Peak could not stop.
One person invited most of the high-ranking members of the Wanqi Clan to be "guests." If it were anyone else, they would definitely think that Yan Qing of Xianlong Peak had gone mad.
Only Qu Haifeng knew that Yan Qing was going on a killing spree.
Although he had been in seclusion for several months and missed many important things, when he did move, he always made a move that was crucial.
After all, he had been involved in some of the events, so Qu Haifeng had to take those people over immediately.
So she came.
Not only did she come, but she also invited Helian Xiong and Gongyang Sun.
From their own perspectives, neither of them wanted to come.
But because it involved the Wanqi tribe, they still came.
"Peak Master Yan, you and Wan Qijing left Dingtian Academy one after the other, and then you returned to the academy alone. Is Dean Wan Qijing's disappearance related to you? And why did you suddenly put the Wanqi clan under house arrest?"
"Wanqijing intends to harm me."
Upon hearing this, Shang Yanting said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Qu Haifeng frowned imperceptibly.
She knew Wan Qijing wanted revenge, but her actions were too hasty.
"Wan Qijing is now the dean, why would she want to harm you?"
