In the center of the Tianchi Sacred Land lies an island called Kuixing Island.
This is the island where Chi Yue's family lives.
As soon as the tribulation of fate ended, Chi Yue rushed to Kui Xing Island with a anxious heart, constantly praying that her family would be safe along the way.
The closer Chi Yue got to Kui Xing Island, the more panicked and afraid she felt, as if the sky was about to collapse.
She knew very well that she was one of the culprits who caused this calamity, that she was tainted by the evil consequences, and that the backlash from these consequences might very well befall her relatives.
I fear that by now, one of her relatives has already met with misfortune because of her.
Before long, Chi Yue arrived at Kui Xing Island.
Looking around, the entire island was ravaged, with deep craters everywhere caused by the lightning strikes. The central town of the island was also full of ruins and a scene of desolation.
But what distressed Chi Yue even more was the constant, heart-wrenching cries coming from below. These cries were like sharp knives piercing her heart, causing her excruciating pain.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault..."
Tears streamed down Chi Yue's face as waves of pain crashed over her.
Because of her selfishness.
Because of her blindness.
Because of her stupidity.
So many innocent people have been robbed, injured, and even killed because of her; she truly deserves to die...
But why wasn't it her who died? Why did God make innocent people suffer for her mistakes?
Chi Yue was devastated. She never imagined that retribution would be so terrible, and that her willfulness and foolishness would cause such a great calamity.
Why didn't she trust Chi Yuan? Why did she side with Chi Yuan's enemy when Chi Yuan was her own kin? Why did she never give Chi Yuan even the slightest bit of trust?
She's hopelessly stupid, outrageously foolish!
The city center of Kuixing Island.
Chi Yue teleported to a fairly intact luxury mansion.
Seeing that her house had not suffered much damage, she breathed a slight sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was a high-level defensive formation in the house, so judging from the situation, no one in the family should be hurt. It was a stroke of luck amidst misfortune.
"Xiaosong..."
Just then, a heart-wrenching wail came from the back of the house.
Chi Yue immediately recognized the voice as her mother's.
Suddenly, Chi Yue was struck as if by lightning.
Komatsu... could it be...?
"No...no, Komatsu will be alright..."
Chi Yue's mind went blank. When she arrived at the backyard, many relatives had already gathered there, including her parents, her uncles and aunts, and her cousins, but only one...
She doesn't have her younger brother, Chi Song!
Chi Yue suddenly felt a suffocating sensation. She took trembling steps, each step feeling as heavy as a thousand pounds.
With each step she took, a scene would flash through her mind.
"Sister, I've condensed my spiritual vortex! I can finally become a spiritual cultivator!"
"Sister, I heard you've become an imperial princess? That's wonderful! I, Xiaosong, will also work hard to cultivate and become a genius as outstanding as you, sister!"
"Sister, you're so beautiful! I want to marry a woman as beautiful as you someday!"
...
Tears blurred her vision, making it almost impossible for Chi Yue to see the road ahead. She struggled through the crowd and finally saw a scene in the middle of the crowd: her mother was holding a charred corpse and crying bitterly, while her father sat slumped to the side, staring blankly at the corpse.
Chi Yue stared blankly at the corpse. Although she could no longer see the face clearly, she recognized it at a glance. It was her younger brother, Chi Song!
Chi Song possessed the body of a lightning spirit, giving her an innate high resistance to lightning. Even the lightning that could injure her could be easily withstood by Chi Song. However, now, she was struck dead by the tribulation lightning.
Why?
Why did disaster strike her, but not her dearest brother?
What did her brother do wrong? Why did he lose his life because of her?
Chi Yue was beyond words in her inner pain and hated herself to the extreme.
In a daze, she seemed to see her brother's lingering spirit, who was staring at her coldly and cursing at her.
"Sister, I like and admire you so much, why did you have to kill me?"
"Sister, I never imagined you could be so vicious, pursuing a scoundrel who has harmed your own people so much, slandering your own people for his sake, and even trying to kill him to fulfill your own love. You deserve to go to the deepest hell!"
"Sister, being your brother is the greatest misfortune of my life. Perhaps death is a good thing for me, since I learned my personality from you. At least if I'm dead, I won't be able to harm others like you, you wicked woman. Hehehe~"
...
"No, Xiaosong, I never meant to hurt you..."
"My sister is wicked, but she really didn't mean to harm you..."
"I'm sorry, Komatsu..."
Chi Yue's head grew heavier and heavier until she finally collapsed to the ground with a thud.
...
On an island near the center of the Heavenly Lake Holy Land, in a secluded courtyard where Chi Li and Lin Huixin were being held under house arrest.
"What exactly happened? Why is the Heavenly Pool Holy Land being punished by heaven?"
Chi Li frowned deeply. He and Lin Huixin were not affected by the tribulation lightning. Instead, the tribulation lightning split a hole in the great formation of the villa, allowing them to escape from the villa.
"Could it be that I've offended someone with great fortune? I've been reading a lot of ancient books lately, and it's said that if you offend someone with great fortune, you'll be punished by Heaven and suffer a calamity."
Lin Huixin analyzed that this kind of indiscriminate, wide-range tribulation lightning was unlikely to be caused by a saint undergoing tribulation, but it was very much in line with the description of tribulations of destiny in ancient classics.
"That's exactly what they deserved."
Chi Li sneered, showing no sympathy for the sacred land of Tianchi.
When he, Lin Huixin, and Chi Yang came to the Heavenly Pool Holy Land, they sought help from the ancestor of his lineage, hoping he could help them seek justice from the Divine Firmament Sect for Chi Yuan. However, the other party completely ignored them, did not even acknowledge them, mocked them, and kicked them out.
What's even more infuriating is that after Chi Yang was discovered to possess the Supreme Bone, the Heavenly Pool Holy Land placed them under house arrest. Not only did they refuse to help them seek justice, they also forbade them from searching for Chi Yuan, claiming that Chi Yuan would affect Chi Yang's Dao Heart and that they should consider their son dead.
Given Tianchi Holy Land's actions, how could he possibly sympathize with them?
"Husband, shall we escape now? I want to find Yuan'er. He must be suffering. I'm so worried about him."
Lin Huixin looked at the gap in the grand formation of the villa and said with a restless expression.
"I also want to find Yuan'er, but I don't know if the Heavenly Pool Holy Land is willing to let us go."
Chi Li sighed softly, "Even if they escape from the villa, they probably won't be able to leave the Heavenly Pool Holy Land. The Heavenly Pool Holy Land won't let them leave, so they simply can't go."
"Father! Mother!"
Just then, a beam of light flew in through the gap in the formation and appeared before the two of them; it was Chi Yang.
With a serious expression, Chi Yang said to Chi Li and Lin Huixin, "Let's leave the Heavenly Pool Holy Land together and never come back!"
