Chapter 102

Everything happened very quickly. How long does it take for a person to fall from a high altitude to the ground? One second, two seconds... ten seconds?

But no matter how many seconds it takes, when everyone is busy with their own things and unprepared, by the time people realize someone has fallen, tens of thousands of people have already fallen to the ground.

Just a second before he fell to the ground, the earth's veins surged and the land rolled over, swallowing up everyone.

No one reacted, or rather, it was difficult for people to react in such a situation. When everyone's vision became clear, they saw Nan Xi standing there with her hands hanging down, seeming to be shaking, the kind of violent shaking that was uncontrollable.

But no one noticed.

How can I not be trembling when tens of thousands of people were killed?

At this moment, Nan Xi looked up at the sky, in the direction of Qi Qian.

The original owner had an item that could store the spiritual power of heaven and earth and automatically refine it into spiritual power that could be absorbed by people at will, but it could only be used once, so the later it was used, the better the effect.

This thing was in the heroine's hand before Nan Xi came here.

He had been practicing with Nan Xi for a hundred years, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. He had stored countless amounts of power in it, and it was poured into Qi Qian's body all at once. It was really a bargain for him.

Nan Xi just watched, wanting to see what the miracle created by Qi Qian alone as mentioned in the plot was like.

But as Qi Qian's body was emitting golden light and his power was spreading, but had not yet developed into an astonishing scale, on the other side, an even brighter golden light emanated from the bodies of the disciples of the Tianyun Sword Sect.

Nan Xi's gaze turned to the disciples of Tianyun Sword Sect.

Just looking at the entanglement of everyone's spiritual power and their consciousness, the power of dozens of people continued to merge and amplify, and finally overshadowed the brilliance produced by Qi Qian.

Even Nan Xi couldn't help being shocked.

This scene does not appear in the plot, perhaps because Shi Ye is missing in the plot, or perhaps because the disciples of the Tianyun Sword Sect did not gather together in the plot.

But at this moment, they gathered together as if they had planned it in advance, and unleashed the strongest cohesion of the people of Tianyun Sword Sect. With the power of many Jindan stage people, they overwhelmed the power of a person who was half a step away from becoming a god.

Qi Qian now had that power, and coupled with his recent improvements in cultivation, it was enough for him to enter the realm of Half-Step Divination.

This realm is above the Yuanying period and before the Huashen period, and it is a realm that can only be entered in very rare cases.

But until the end, the brilliance of the Tianyun Sword Sect disciples was still above Qiqian.

Nan Xi watched quietly, her heart filled with an emotion similar to pride. Not long after, everyone landed safely.

Everyone briefly forgot about the ten thousand people and was only amazed at the powerful performance of the Tianyun Sword Sect.

Not to mention that the others and Nan Xi didn't think of it, even the system didn't think of it. It stayed there for a while, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly went to check its own Qi Mi luck value.

When it saw it, the luck value had just become zero. Then, under its gaze, this zero and Qiqian's name flickered and jumped together, and finally disappeared completely.

As the word disappeared, the system itself suddenly felt dizzy.

Before falling asleep again, I saw a row of white words flashing before my eyes, [System will be updated soon...]

Nan Xi didn't feel anything about all this. After everyone sighed, they finally remembered another particularly important thing and suddenly looked in Nan Xi's direction.

Before meeting everyone's gaze, Nan Xi lowered her eyes and looked at her still trembling hands. She didn't know what others would think when they saw her trembling, but when she recalled what she had just done, a light lit up in Nan Xi's eyes.

No one knows what she just did, and no one knows how she feels now.

Nan Xi's hands were completely devoid of strength. Even though they were trembling, she could not feel it at all. It was not that she could not control her hands, but even if she controlled the movement of her hands, her perception was very slight.

But even so, Nan Xi felt particularly relieved.

How can I not relax?

The more than 100,000 people who should have died in the plot did not die, and the 10,000 people she took over also did not die.

She had been preparing for this day for a long time, long enough for her to use external forces to transfer tens of thousands of people to the safe place she had prepared without anyone noticing.

It was extremely difficult, but fortunately, she didn't have to take responsibility for the lives of tens of thousands of people.

There was still noise all around, but some people had already turned their eyes to Nan Xi.

A man strode out from the crowd with anger in his eyes, "Nan Xi! What were you doing just now?!"

Nan Xi looked at the person in front of her and didn't say anything.

This man is the young master of a certain family. He has a very high prestige and is the undisputed number one in a certain area.

Starting with him, countless people gathered in the direction of Nan Xi, each of them with indignation on their faces, and they criticized Nan Xi verbally and in writing.

"Where have you been?"

"Do you know what you have done?"

"It is a shame for the Tianyun Sword Sect to have someone like you!"

Nan Xi remained silent, letting people around her point fingers at her, but soon a voice came from the crowd.

“That’s enough!”

Qi Zhao came with the disciples of Tianyun Sword Sect, protecting Nan Xi in the middle. He stared at the people in front of him and said, "What fault did Senior Sister have? The elders will come and judge for themselves."

He didn't say anything extra, but when everyone saw the appearance of the Tianyun Sword Sect disciples, they were unable to say anything more.

As the crowd dispersed, a faint voice was heard.

"More than 10,000 people are enough to kill Nan Xi."

The faces of all the Tianyun Sword Sect disciples turned ugly, but no one could refute it.

Although the incident happened suddenly, those ten thousand people did not have to die.

"They are right." Nan Xi's voice came out, "I should pay for my life, you don't have to hurt yourself for me..."

"Sister, shut up too."

Qi Zhao's voice was unusually cold, but after saying this, he calmed down for a while before returning to his usual tone, "We know it's not your fault."

"You don't have to blame yourself."

Shen Xinxi didn't say anything. Compared to the silence of the others who didn't know what they were thinking, her eyes were always fixed on the ground.

After the others took Nan Xi to a certain place to wait for the venerables to come back, Shen Xinxi turned his head towards Qi Zhao.

But his eyes still fell on the ground, and he said, "Brother, do you think something is wrong?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhao looked at her with his eyes flashing.

Of course it's not right. Based on what they know about Nan Xi, would Nan Xi really just do nothing and simply replace more than a hundred thousand people with ten thousand people, and then ignore the lives of tens of thousands of people?

She must have done something, something hidden from everyone, even from the system, so she didn't reveal it in her heart.

"Normally, even if an earthquake swallows a person, at this time one can still feel the breath of life underground."

Shen Xinxi walked around twice, then looked at Qi Zhao again, "After the earthquake, there will be no holes in the ground. Even if the squeezed blood can't come out, it will make the land soft and moist."

Hope reappeared in the hearts of everyone present.

"You mean, those ten thousand people didn't die?"

Shen Xinxi nodded, "That's possible."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and hope ignited in their hearts, but some people were anxious and stamped their feet immediately, "Why didn't Senior Sister tell you? It just led to misunderstandings!"

Qi Zhao also reacted now and looked at the person in front of him.

"Everyone should know the last part of the story. It is because the senior sister made a big mistake and was pointed at by thousands of people and shot through the heart with thousands of arrows."

His voice was somewhat flat, and no joy or anger could be heard from it, nor any other emotions could be felt. But as soon as his voice fell, the surroundings became quiet.

Everyone was silent for a while before someone asked in a hoarse voice, "Sister, what's wrong with you? Aren't you going to fight anymore?"

"Are you just going to accept this? This is such an unreasonable plot?"

The disciples of Tianyun Sword Sect gradually became agitated, one after another making accusations, some even had red eyes, muttering that it was unfair and why, which attracted the attention of others. However, Qi Zhao's words were of no use at this time, and he could not appease them no matter what.

Until a casual female voice fell into their ears.

"Okay."

Li Yunzheng came back at some point, her body still stained with blood. Although her expression remained the same, her aura was stronger than usual, and her tone was a little cold. She said, "The most urgent task is to find where your senior sister has hidden the 10,000 people."

"For such a serious matter, the Tianyun Sword Sect can protect her temporarily, but not forever."

In conclusion, Li Yunzheng did not stay among the disciples for long, but went to another place. After a careful look, he found that many venerable masters were there. After another careful look, he found that was where Nan Xi was.

Everyone was shocked.

Fortunately, Li Yunzheng calmed them down with just a few words.

Yes, now that things have come to this, we must first find out where Senior Sister has hidden the person.

They didn't know why, but based on this guess, they had no doubt at all as to whether those 10,000 people survived. Even now, they still believed that their senior sister must have made complete preparations to take the people away so that they would not have to worry about their lives.

Naturally, the powerful men would not make things difficult for Nan Xi. After understanding the whole matter, they coldly announced Nan Xi's guilt and demanded an explanation from the Tianyun Sword Sect.

Although it wasn't noisy, those who were hitting every word were dizzy.

No one knew what happened afterwards. They just watched Nan Xi being taken away by Li Yunzheng, and no one knew where she was put.

Someone asked, and only got one answer.

"Now that she is a sinner, she naturally cannot move freely like you."

This matter has obviously not come to an end, but the situation is chaotic at the moment, so Nan Xi's matter is put last.

Afterwards, everyone began to clean up the mess, including the fallen floating island, the flaws in the formation, and the affairs of those low-level monks.

Fortunately, the floating island just fell down and was not destroyed. Although it can be said to be beyond recognition, it is still much better than building it from scratch.

不過三五日，浮島再次高高懸挂于空中。

而這次的陣法，更考慮到除了天災之外的外力影響，陣師又花了許多力氣構建了防護的陣法。

現如今，即使不能說是萬無一失，但像之前的情況也不會再發生。

休整好之後，所有人心中都知道，應該清算了。

浮島上也有各個門派的地方，這裏的建築和其他沒什麽太大的區別，但都添上了各個門派的風格。

更有單獨留出來的廣場，是必要的開闊場合。

南曦被帶到了這裏。

此時的她并不像是電視劇裏的階下囚那樣狼狽，看上去與前幾天被帶下去時沒什麽區別。

天雲劍宗的人本以為她會憔悴一些，畢竟南曦自認為她的死期将至。

但沒有，她眉目淡然，身上有一種與從前不太一樣的氣質，但不是不好，而是更好了點。

南曦自己也很難說清自己現在的心緒，她原本以為自己是會緊張的，但事到臨頭，心境反而越發平穩下來。

就像是要迎來等待已久的結局。

天雲劍宗諸位尊者都站在上首，連帶着其他這方又名的尊者大能一起，看向南曦的方向。

但和其他人不同的是，天雲劍宗之人看着南曦的目光，都暗含關切。

不光有衆多尊者大能，廣場的周遭，都圍着許多人，而在這些人鄙夷厭憎的目光中，南曦微微擡頭。

上首有人在宣布南曦的罪名。

而圍觀之人的言語也毫不客氣地傾瀉而出。

“這就是南曦啊？看着人模狗樣的，怎麽會做出這種事？”

“放棄上萬人的命只為保全自己，從未見過這麽丢臉的人。”

“我要是教養出這樣的弟子，不如死了算了。”

但站在衆人目光中央的南曦，此時竟然聽不到這些不好的聲音，又或者說，是被她過濾掉了。

她擡眸，對上和劍與衆長老關切的目光，人群當中有人不服地為她辯解。

“她救過我的命，雖然不知道發生了什麽，但是我相信這件事她不是有意地。”

“會不會有什麽隐情？我覺得南曦是個很好的人。”

“你們仙門弟子中，我最喜歡的就是南曦了，你們不許再說她。”

在所有的嘲諷中，這樣的辯解顯得格外蒼白無力，但為南曦說話的人，竟然沒有少到哪裏。

南曦也不知道自己在想什麽，腦子甚至有些空泛，她想起這些日子所經歷的事，想到百年以來自己走過的路，耳邊聽着這些聲音，她心中竟然有些暢快感。

【在系統的威脅下過了這麽多年，我竟然還能收獲那麽多的喜愛。】

和她心聲同時響起的，還有上首傳來的聲音。

“你可認罪？”

南曦低下了頭，“我認罪。”

廣場上早就懸挂起了無數把劍，這些閃着寒光的劍高懸于天空，但凡多看一眼，都刺得人眼睛生疼。

和劍有些緊張地瞥向李雲筝，傳音入耳，“還沒有找到嗎？”

“尚未，曦兒許是做足了準備，将人放到了讓人難以找到的地方。”

南曦也看到了上頭的劍，但心情卻越發松快。

或者說，這種松快在幾天之間就存在了，且越演越烈，到了此時便讓人難以看清。

“系統。”南曦輕聲呢喃，并不知道此時的系統聽不到她的聲音，“假如你真能讓我再次重新來過的話，就讓我再來天雲劍宗吧。”

她的聲音很輕，零星幾個音節飄到人耳中，也讓人難以聽清。

李雲筝卻聽清了，她盯着南曦，看出她狀态的不對勁，哪怕此時如此嚴峻，她依舊沒忍住挑了挑眉。

說完最後這句話之後，南曦感覺身上輕了許多，像是某種束縛從她身上脫離了出來。

南曦自己便怔了下，然而還沒仔細感受自己的變化，身上氣息便開始湧動，靈力在她身上緩慢彙聚。

上首的人最先察覺出不對勁，有人面色一變，說：“立刻……”

行刑。

後面兩個字還沒有發出，李雲筝已經來到南曦身邊，将她衣領一提，笑眯眯說：“她要突破了，為了不影響浮島，我将她帶遠一些。”

南曦被帶走的時候，還有些迷茫。

但剛剛落地，就看到李雲筝已經站在距離她一裏以外的地方，其他大能也無一例外地跟了過來。

雷雲在南曦頭上迅速彙聚，領域已成，事已至此，便只能等南曦突破完畢再行刑。

一老者對李雲筝怒目而視，“方才立刻執行也來得及！還能打斷劫雲的生成，你故意拖延時間，安的什麽心？”

李雲筝狀似無辜地對上老者的目光，無辜地眨了眨眼，“雷劫還能打斷？不好意思，我不知道。”

李雲筝活了這麽多年，又不是個蠢得，怎麽可能不知道，但明知道李雲筝在耍無賴，所有人也都對他無可奈何。

可相比于他們，處于風暴中心的南曦顯然更加迷茫。

她看着頭上的雷劫，仔細算了算，感覺自己能在那一萬人回來之前，渡劫結束，然後走完劇情。

而突破的原因，南曦自己此時尚且一頭霧水。

但眼看着雷光閃爍，她便不想太多，準備應對雷劫。

期間還想了想被雷劈死這個想法怎麽樣，但又感覺太狼狽了，于是放棄。

而劫雲之外，和劍的眸光閃了閃。

“曦兒臨了，才解開了對自己的束縛。”

李雲筝看了和劍一眼，沒說話。

尋常時候看着南曦潇灑，除卻任務外，行動皆是随心而動，很是會自己尋開心，但實際上南曦在這個世上活了那麽多年，卻從未真正輕松過。

也唯有在說出那句話的時候，才暴露出自己內心真正的渴望。

如果能重來一世，她還想待在天雲劍宗。

或許這也是她第一次，正視自己的欲望。

現場逐漸沒有了聲音，不光是在看南曦渡劫，實際上也是沒什麽好說的。

第一道雷劫出來的時候，就讓衆人有些震驚，因為這雷劫，從剛剛出來的時候，就與尋常元嬰期雷劫完全不同，泛着駭人的紫黑光芒，僅是第一道，就仿佛要置人于死地。

所有人神色都在此時帶上了異樣。

但這樣的異樣，是因為在場之人都知道，這樣的雷劫代表着什麽。

代表一個死劫。

這樣的雷劫注定渡劫的人要九死一生。

不同于尋常修士渡劫，尋常修士，只要各方面水平達到這個境界的最低水準，就能安然無恙地渡過這個劫，畢竟元嬰期，本身也不是什麽極難達到的境界。

但南曦的這個雷劫不一樣。

哪怕她是這個境界的佼佼者，在這個雷劫之下，也照舊九死一生。

若是稍微弱一點，便會被雷劈成一把焦土。

有人往和劍的方向看了一眼。

“成為黃土，總比萬箭穿心好些。”

這人的話語略帶嘲諷，但和劍與天雲劍宗其他人都沒有理他。

現場再次陷入寂靜，只有風聲呼嘯，雷光電影交替。

南曦被一道雷劈的兩眼昏花，多少有些詫異。

上一次金丹雷劫，也僅僅讓她受了些皮肉之痛，怎麽就差一個境界，雷劫威力便翻了數倍？這一道雷下來，甚至讓她有種直擊靈魂的痛感。

但或許是出于對自己的盲目自信，南曦只是端正了幾分态度，用心對抗雷劫，卻沒有想過自己能不能渡過雷劫的可能。

若一個元嬰雷劫都過不去，也算是浪費了她百年苦修。

抱着這樣的信心，南曦又硬抗了七道雷。

吐出一口血沫的時候，她有些不敢置信地看向天，有些懷疑人生，是現實與她想象中略有差別，還是她真的弱雞到能被元嬰雷劫輕易奪取性命。

正嚴肅看着南曦雷劫的天雲劍宗之人，便聽到南曦驚疑不定的心聲。

【不是吧？我那麽弱？這區區元嬰雷劫能把我幹倒？】

又一道天雷醞釀完畢，沒有任何預兆地直沖南曦頭頂，南曦一驚，別說內心了，口中一禿嚕，沒忍住冒出一聲。

“卧槽！”

聲音中氣十足，傳到衆人耳中，随後整個人就被天雷的光輝掩蓋。

所有人面面相觑，過了一會，終于還是有人開口了，“這南曦，目前看着，還挺有活力的。”

“呵呵呵呵……确實。”

唯有和劍面上沒忍住揚起高傲，“曦兒自小便很有活力。”

很有活力的南曦咬牙抗住了又一道雷劫，感覺五髒六腑都有電流竄過，讓她痛不欲生，還腿軟。

但痛了一會又仔細感受了下。

【……不如系統給的懲罰。】

天雲劍宗之人眸光複雜了一瞬，但很快，南曦又龇牙咧嘴起來，甚至在原地跳了兩圈，“靠！不行，還是很疼！”

她靈力下意識流動，将剛剛被天雷劈出的傷口緩緩撫平，但完全來不及，天雷殘留的力量絲毫不散，在南曦體內肆無忌憚地破壞着。

南曦很快停下自己猴子般的動作，沒忍住擡頭看了眼，終于意識到一點不對勁。

這天雷，有些不對勁。

In this world, cultivation is not against the will of heaven, but in accordance with the will of heaven. Therefore, the purpose of thunder tribulation is not to kill, but to temper. However, if one cannot pass this test, then death is death.

Even so, the Yuanying period heavenly thunder should not have such power.

Each of these thunder tribulations was more powerful than any other that Nan Xi had ever seen, leaving almost no time for people to react. If this speed continued, Nan Xi's Yuanying thunder tribulation would probably take less than two days to overcome.

But she didn't have time to think about it. The next thunder tribulation was already a bit too much for her, and her legs were extremely weak.

But she felt extremely relaxed, as if she had returned to the feeling she had long ago.

When this life was still early, it seemed like the first life when people were happier and more carefree.

But there was something different. What was different? She had no time to think at this moment. She was just happy. She was so happy that even though her legs were weak, she could still jump twice.

Another even more violent bolt of lightning struck him on the head.

After enduring it, Nan Xi stood for two seconds, then fell directly with her head raised. She was a little dazed, and felt her limbs were stiff and out of control, but she was not in a hurry. She even narrowed her eyes and looked at the next thunderbolt that was brewing in the sky.

“I don’t know what the situation is though.”

Nan Xi cleared her throat and said, "But if I die this year, it will only be because of the plot, not because of your inexplicable thunderbolt."

The thunderclouds rolled more fiercely, as if they were angered by Nan Xi.

But at this time, Nan Xi moved his stiff limbs and climbed up again unsteadily. After he stood still, his body stopped shaking at all and was so steady that there was no sign of anything unusual.

But it was only for a moment, maybe just two seconds, and the sudden and fierce thunder struck again.

When the lightning faded, Nan Xi's hair exploded, and her skin and flesh were turned over, with a charred look as if she had been burned.

Everyone here heard Nan Xi's dissatisfied voice.

"Why is it that Junior Sister's tribulation is so beautiful and tragic? I am so shocked."
