Thunder roared and rumbled in the sky, with large swaths of red lightning appearing.
This is divine punishment.
The heavens seemed to have been provoked and were indignant.
The rolling red thunder is poised to strike, or perhaps it's a warning.
Everyone present could feel the wrath of the heavens.
These red lightning bolts weren't aimed at them, but rather subtly targeted Yuan Hong, the suddenly appearing patriarch of the Yuan family.
Shang Ziming beamed with joy.
"Haha, Mr. Qian, it seems the outcome is still uncertain. Perhaps things will take a turn for the better."
This is the lower realm, and his appearance has already defied the laws of heaven and earth. He has also revealed power that exceeds the limits of this world, attracting the attention of the Heavenly Dao and bringing down heavenly punishment.
Even if he were a Golden Immortal, he might not be able to withstand it. I think he'd most likely slink away in disgrace.
Manager Qian, however, was not as optimistic as him and nodded nonetheless.
"Young Master is right. Even a Golden Immortal cannot escape divine punishment unscathed."
The higher one's realm, the greater the suppression one receives. If immortals in the celestial realm could freely enter and leave the lower realm, the lower realm would have been in chaos long ago.
The Black Fiend Immortal Palace wouldn't go to such lengths to create a Dark Palace to control the Heavenly Desolate Continent.
However, to be fair, Yuan Hong only sent a fragment of his soul. If he were ruthless enough to pay a certain price, he could still deal with Qin Feng and his group.
Upon hearing this, Shang Ziming frowned slightly.
Boom!
Thunder rumbled across the sky, locking onto Yuan Hong.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Hong's expression turned solemn.
"I forgot that this is the lower realm. In my haste, I accidentally revealed my aura."
This is troublesome; divine punishment is difficult to deal with, and it will cause endless suffering.
Fortunately, that kid held on. I didn't kill anyone, so I just endured this round and left. He should be fine.
Looking at the sky filled with red lightning, Yuan Hong already had the intention to retreat.
He then thought of the reason he had come here, and looked at Yuan Huan with displeasure, complaining:
"It's all your fault, you good-for-nothing junior. You're more trouble than you're worth."
Yuan Huan knelt on the ground, suffering in silence. He never expected to encounter such an oddball as Qin Feng in this tiny place called Tianhuang Continent.
He sensed Yuan Hong's intention to leave and gritted his teeth.
"What the ancestor rebuked me for is that I always remember the tasks he assigned me, and I have been carrying them out diligently all these years."
"Upon returning to the Immortal Realm, I'm certain I'll be highly valued by the organization. Given time, the Black Fiend Immortal Palace will be mine, Yuan family's, possession."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Hong's expression softened slightly.
"Very well, you've stayed in the lower realm for so many years for the sake of the Yuan family. Even if you haven't made any great contributions, you've certainly put in the hard work. I'll take you away with me later."
This is the lower realm; I can't act here, otherwise the heavenly punishment will only worsen.
Yuan Huan was initially relieved, but became anxious upon hearing the second half of the sentence.
He pointed at Qin Feng, Leng Yuexi, and the others, and said:
"Ancestor, no! These people are the ones to be handed over. If I go back empty-handed, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction."
My personal matter is small, but the Yuan family's matter is big.
I urge the Ancestor to capture them in one fell swoop and hand them over to me, so that I may have an explanation to give to the Black Fiend Immortal Palace.
Furthermore, these individuals were the ones who orchestrated the scheme, breaking through the Yuan family's Heaven-Sealing Formation.
"As long as we capture them, the subordinates I've trained can continue to control the Tianhuang Continent and serve our Yuan family."
Upon hearing this, Yuan Hong frowned, glanced at the red lightning in the sky, then at Yuan Huan, and gritted his teeth to make a decision.
"Alright, as you say. I don't mind suffering a little more for the sake of the Yuan family patriarch."
Yuan Huan was naturally overjoyed, but coldly stared at Qin Feng, Leng Yuexi, and the others.
Yuan Hong glanced at Qin Feng.
Qin Feng felt uneasy. He didn't know what Yuan Huan and Yuan Hong had said, but Yuan Hong's look in his eyes didn't seem like a good sign.
He knew he was no match for Yuan Hong now; before, the other party had only glanced at him and said a single word, and he had been sent flying backward, coughing up blood.
Yuan Huan's powerful aura spread slightly, almost suffocating those present.
"How terrifying! Is this the power of an immortal? It's too heaven-defying."
If Yuan Huan wants to make a move against Qin Feng and his group, he must succeed in one strike.
Boom!
The Heavenly Dao sensed Yuan Hong's aura and felt greatly provoked.
The rolling red lightning, poised to strike, crashed down upon Yuan Hong.
Vast swaths of red lightning converged in the sky, forming a blood-red lightning sword.
The sword was imposing, its blood-red light blazing, and its killing intent palpable.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Hong stopped what he was doing and focused his attention on the Heavenly Punishment.
Seeing this, Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and marveled at the majestic Thunder Sword.
"This crimson lightning giant sword is many times more powerful than when Xiao Chen was undergoing his tribulation, and it even exudes a bloody killing intent."
Indeed, everything has its rules, rules that even immortals cannot break.
Leng Yuexi then struck up a conversation with a meaningful tone.
"Brother Feng is half right. Everything does have its rules, which even immortals cannot break, but that doesn't mean no one can break them."
The reason the current rules bind us is that we lack the power to transcend those rules.
Qin Feng seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.
When Yuan Hong saw the blood-red lightning sword, even though he had expected it, he couldn't help but frown.
"Why is the reaction so strong? Something's not right. Never mind that for now, let's just accept this heavenly punishment first."
With a wave of his hand, he gently pushed Yuan Huan aside, then stepped into the sky, his fighting spirit soaring, his morale high, as he cheered himself on.
"I am a Golden Immortal from the Upper Realm, what do I have to fear from the lightning punishments of the Lower Realm?"
He pointed at the Blood Fiend Thunder Sword and said, "The sword's appearance startles mountains and rivers."
A dazzling sword light burst forth, containing complex Daoist principles, like a world unto itself.
