Chapter 187 The Heavenly Snow Lotus Aims for Immortality 17 ...
However, she was ultimately disappointed. When she saw that otherworldly monster enter through some unknown channel, and the Heavenly Dao of this world seemed to be blind, unable to see anything, Zhang Xuelian became angry.
It seems like she's the only one getting struck by lightning every day, while these visitors from other worlds don't have to.
On what grounds?
Zhang Xuelian was losing her composure; more accurately, she was jealous—jealous that they were of similar status, yet received different treatment.
Because she was a little unhappy, Zhang Xuelian glanced at Cui Dong, said she had to go out for a while, and then left.
"Hey." Cui Dong wanted to call out to her, but it was too late.
After she had moved some distance away from him, thunderclouds quickly gathered in the sky, each clap louder than the last. Zhang Xuelian looked at the thunderclouds, but this time she didn't rush to run. Her true form was with Cui Dong; even if she were about to die, she could immediately return, so she wasn't afraid of the heavenly lightning.
However, she planned to use this heavenly lightning to properly receive the visitor from another world—it was a bit of a wicked pleasure of hers. When there were no people of her kind in this world, Zhang Xuelian could still convince herself that the Heavenly Dao treated every visitor from another world the same. But once she found her own kind and discovered that the Heavenly Dao treated them differently, Zhang Xuelian could no longer deceive herself.
Those who are favored are always the object of envy. Especially since Zhang Xuelian is so petty. She can't hurt those humans, but surely she can hurt these ghosts and monsters? This can be considered ridding the people of a scourge.
So he immediately headed towards the place where the ghosts had descended.
Milne had just arrived in this world and sensed the abundant human activity below. He only wanted to wreak havoc and make this city his own territory. However, before he could even take action, a terrifying aura spread towards him.
Seeing that huge mass of thunderclouds, dark and terrifying in appearance, it stared in disbelief, "What is this thing?" It could only think of one word: escape.
Its intuition told it that if it were struck by this thing, it would be wiped out, both in its past and present lives. So it transformed into black mist and fled in the direction ahead, the farther the better.
However, how could Zhang Xuelian just watch it escape? Seeing that it was speeding up and flying faster, it quickly caught up with the powerful thunderclouds.
Dressed in striking red, with a bewitching and bloodthirsty aura, red eyes, pale and bloodless skin, and sharp, purplish fingernails, he was clearly not a normal person.
This was all thanks to the mirror ghost in the company who gave her the inspiration; when it comes to scaring people, she really wasn't as professional as it was.
Although Milne didn't see any ghostly aura on her, seeing her like this, he immediately mistook her for one of his own and angrily said, "We both belong to Lord Mantju, why are you trying to harm me like this?" Looking at the pile of lightning she had summoned from who-knows-where, and how she wanted to drag him down with her even in her dying moments, Milne truly didn't know how he had offended her.
This star field has been marked by Lord Mantju. Only His people can enter this world. How can they kill each other?
"Aren't you afraid of being punished by Lord Mantju if he finds out?" she asked, trying to scare away the unknown ghost.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuelian's lips curled up. "I don't know anything about 'Manly' or 'Manly,' but the problem is that you're so lucky." Her luck was so good that it made her a little jealous.
She repeatedly escaped death from being chased by heavenly lightning, but it didn't. Shouldn't it die?
All I can say is that she looks more like a vengeful ghost than a vengeful spirit itself.
The thunder that suddenly roared in the sky was so powerful that it was impossible for people in Shanghai not to see it.
Cui Dong never expected to see the exact same lightning strike again. His mind immediately returned to that day half a year ago, with the same scene, as if it were the end of the world.
A hint of worry flashed in his eyes. Could this be related to her? He was afraid she might be in danger.
When Bao Huachi and his teammates saw the thundercloud, they exchanged a glance and immediately thought of the many times they had heard about thunderclouds when they were investigating the Hong Kong incident.
"Zhang Xuelian, she has appeared."
Who else but her could attract such terrifying lightning?
Bureau 749 once analyzed that she might come from a world of a higher dimension than those S-class ghosts, so whenever the lightning saw her, it would strike her. As for why Que and Yu were special, they didn't know because she kept bothering them.
Some say it's because she likes him, others say it's because he has something she wants, but why him? This question remains unanswered.
Bao Huachi: "It seems like she's chasing after that S-class ghost." Both of them looked somewhat dazed upon seeing this scene. Did they have a grudge against each other?
Out of curiosity, and also because of the task assigned by the captain, the two of them didn't hesitate much and drove after them.
In the sky, Milne saw that she was relentlessly pursuing him and getting closer and closer, so he knew there was no way to escape. At this moment, he stopped trying to dodge and his eyes revealed a look of mutual destruction. "Even if I die, I will drag you down with me." There was a hint of madness in his eyes.
It never expected that it would die here before it even had a chance to help Lord Mantju open up this desolate region, and there was some resentment in its eyes.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuelian revealed her signature villainous smile and said disdainfully, "You think you can take me on?" The next second, she directly included it in the range of heavenly lightning, with a hint of jealousy in her eyes.
"A lowly outsider ant, nothing special at all, why can you walk in this world so easily while I can't? I'd like to see if you have three heads and six arms, and whether you can survive being struck by this heavenly lightning, hahaha."
The thought of it suffering the same pain she had once endured filled her with a sense of ecstasy.
Milne hadn't expected her to cause him trouble over this matter, and thought to himself, "Crazy." She should have said so earlier; it could have told her why she was able to escape the pursuit of the world's consciousness.
Although it realized at this point that she wasn't one of Lord Mantju's people, otherwise she wouldn't have been chased by the heavenly lightning.
But they are all of the same kind, and they can become colleagues as long as she is willing to submit to Lord Mantju.
However, the Heavenly Dao, which had been deceived, finally sensed the foreign aura emanating from it under close observation and directly unleashed a bolt of heavenly lightning, obliterating it. This sentence was ultimately left unsaid.
Seeing that the heavenly lightning had finished striking it and was about to strike her, Zhang Xuelian ran and cursed, angering the heavenly Dao of this world to the point that thunder roared. Just as the lightning was about to strike her, she quickly returned to her original body.
The bolt of lightning struck a forest, turning the surrounding area for two miles into a desolate wasteland, demonstrating just how terrifying the lightning was.
By the time Bai Yiming and his team arrived, several hours had passed. They heard that the matter was over, but upon seeing the desolate forest, they still had no idea what had happened.
"What happened?"
Bao Huachi was still in shock after hearing this, having not yet recovered from what had happened a few hours earlier. “If I’m not mistaken, it was Zhang Xuelian, who fled from Hong Kong, who killed that S-class ghost.”
That iconic thundercloud was impossible for anyone to replicate. Even though he had seen it in surveillance footage and photos, it was still not as shocking as seeing it in person. The feeling of being like an ant under the thunder was something that even ghosts and monsters could not give him.
Bai Yiming frowned and said, "You mean she used heavenly lightning to kill that S-class monster?"
"Yes, that S-class monster couldn't withstand even one strike of this heavenly lightning and died." This was incredibly unbelievable. It was a huge threat to them, yet it was as vulnerable as an ant under this heavenly lightning.
This also proves that Zhang Xuelian, who could use heavenly lightning to kill ghosts and monsters and then escape unscathed, has become even stronger. She is no longer the person who was besieged and could only flee.
Bai Yiming thought even more deeply after hearing this. If she could use heavenly lightning to kill that ghost, could she also kill other ghosts? What exactly was that heavenly lightning? Why was it only aimed at her?
When Bao Huachi said that Zhang Xuelian didn't know the ghost and had no grudge against it, but was just jealous that it was an outsider like her and that the lightning only struck her and not it, she was unhappy with it, so she made it taste the feeling of being struck by lightning, the group became even more confused.
In terms of willfulness, she is indeed very willful.
"It's a pity we don't know where she is, otherwise we could try to talk to her about cooperation," one of the team members said.
Bai Yiming didn't rely entirely on her. "Cooperation would be good, but even if we can't, we still have to fight those ghosts. We can manage without her." Although he wanted to cooperate with her, he knew in his heart why she would cooperate with them. Unless there was something to gain, and they couldn't provide what she wanted at the moment, nor did they know what she wanted.
Therefore, we still need to carefully plan this cooperation.
However, before leaving, he had one more thing to do: leave two people behind to continue tracking Zhang Xuelian's whereabouts. "With her in Shanghai, nothing should happen. You can follow the path of the first appearance of the lightning and track it outwards."
"She might manifest a different appearance, so don't look at her face. Also, don't let her discover that your memories have been altered."
Bao Huachi and another teammate exchanged a glance, then turned to look at him. "Yes, Captain, we understand."
As for Lord Mantju, they had heard of his name long ago, and the group knew that this was not a resurgence of ghosts, but an invasion of civilization.
