"Boom!"
The deafening thunder clearly reached the ears of everyone in Yucheng County, and the rough lightning illuminated the night sky.
Sheng Lingwei's people were taken aback at first, but then continued doing their own thing with a proud expression.
The people who originally lived in Yucheng County were startled, staring at the sky in fear and shouting incessantly.
"Oh no, it's going to pour rain."
"My lords, we don't want to get wet in the rain, please keep us in our rooms!"
"Sir, it's going to rain heavily! This thunder is terrifying; it's the first time we've ever seen anything like it. It's definitely going to be a torrential downpour!"
"..."
The bearded man immediately led his brothers from Black Wind Stronghold, along with the men guarding these people, to slap those who were shouting and yelling several times.
"Shut up, all of you! You're nothing but prisoners. You have no right to demand anything of us, let alone enjoy any good treatment."
Also, this thunder doesn't mean a torrential downpour is coming; rather, it's our princess unleashing her divine power, punishing those who are unruly.
"Heh heh, they must be the leaders of your four major powers. Tsk tsk, to receive Her Highness the Princess's heavenly lightning reward is a blessing they've accumulated over many lifetimes."
At this point, the bearded man's face turned fierce. Standing on the high ground, he swept his gaze across the more than 30,000 people who were bound, and issued a stern warning.
"Now that you're prisoners, behave yourselves. If anyone dares to cause trouble, we'll have to ask Her Highness the Princess to bestow upon you a thunderbolt, which will surely leave you with not even a bone fragment."
More than 30,000 people were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they quickly covered their mouths, no longer daring to make a sound.
Good heavens, Her Highness the Princess bestowed heavenly lightning upon us?
So the rumors about Princess Chang Le are true; she really can control heavenly lightning. Then, is she human? A demon? Or a fairy?
The governor's residence.
Wu Yi and the others were horrified, their mouths agape in disbelief as they stared at the continuous lightning bolts overhead, their eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.
Only at this moment did they truly believe that the rumors about Sheng Lingwei were true, absolutely true!
But it was too late!
Wu Yi was terrified and hurriedly kowtowed to Sheng Lingwei, begging for mercy, "No, no, Princess Chang Le, I was blinded by greed, please spare me, don't strike me with lightning!"
He was genuinely scared. He shouldn't have spoken up, and he shouldn't have tried to manipulate Sheng Lingwei out of resentment.
He's just asking for trouble.
"Ha!" Sheng Lingwei sneered contemptuously, "Too bad, it's too late. Enjoy being struck by lightning!"
The next second, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky.
It slashed straight at Wu Yi, who was struck and screamed in agony. His painful screams carried far, far away!
Hehe, Sheng Lingwei, that clever girl, deliberately used her mental power to amplify his screams so that everyone in the entire Yucheng County could hear them.
The purpose? To make an example of someone!
It could also be seen as a profound lesson to those who disagreed with her, clearly showing them that heavenly lightning was nothing more than a piece of cake for her.
More than 30,000 people who were tied up, as well as the local poor and exiled criminals, trembled with fear upon hearing the piercing screams.
At this moment, Sheng Lingwei's voice reached everyone's ears, "Oh dear, Wu Yi, you beast, you won't just get one bolt of lightning. There are four more coming, making it a five-bolt blast. Enjoy it!"
Wu Yi was charred black from the blow, and he was in excruciating pain, crying and begging for mercy.
"No, please don't strike me! Princess Chang Le, I was wrong, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have colluded with others to oppose you for my own ambition. Princess Chang Le, please, have mercy on me..."
"Boom!" The lightning bolt crashed down.
Before Wu Yi could finish speaking, another piercing scream rang out, "Ahhhhh, help me..."
The people of Yucheng County felt their scalps tingle and their hearts pound, fearing that the lightning might strike them on the head.
Fear, terror, shock... a variety of complex emotions filled their hearts, and they were on the verge of a breakdown.
Sheng Lingwei's demonic, cold laughter rang out, "Hehe, not enough! This is only the second bolt of heavenly lightning. Alright, here comes the third bolt. Wu Yi, don't waste my reward!"
Wu Yi stared with bloodshot eyes and screamed in terror, "No..."
"Boom!"
"Ahhhhh..."
Sheng Lingwei looked at Wu Yi, who had been chopped into a piece of charcoal, with disdain in her tone.
"Oh dear! How can you be so useless?"
"You couldn't even withstand three bolts of heavenly lightning from me. It seems you're nothing special after all. You dare to call yourself the number one expert in Yucheng County? I think you're more like the number one piece of trash."
Wu Yi: ...You're so infuriating, aren't you?
With only a breath left, Wu Yi twitched his body in a humiliating manner, then exhaled a puff of black smoke and died completely.
Sheng Lingwei clicked her tongue.
"Useless thing. Although you are dead, I always keep my word. I will reward you with five bolts of heavenly lightning, and not one of them will be missing."
Hehe, it saves my people the trouble of burying you. It's better to just turn you into ashes. The wind will blow them away and they'll be scattered everywhere, so you can enjoy a trip you can take whenever you want after you die.
"How about that? Haven't I been kind enough? Don't thank me too much!"
People from Yucheng County: Σ(?д?|||)??
Good heavens, Princess Chang Le is terrifying!
"Boom!" The fourth bolt of lightning struck, turning Wu Yi's body to ashes.
"Boom!"
The fifth bolt of lightning struck, creating a large hole in the ground. As for Wu Yi's ashes, they were all blown onto the faces and bodies of the kneeling people.
They were choked and coughed on the spot.
I cursed in my heart, "What bad luck! What a damn bad luck!"
He quickly patted the ashes off his body.
Sheng Lingwei's cold gaze swept over the kneeling person. "Hmm?"
The next instant, everyone froze, hurriedly and carefully withdrew their hands, and continued to kneel obediently on the ground, not daring to make any unnecessary movements.
Even though their legs had long since gone numb from kneeling, they dared not move an inch.
I'm really scared!
Having witnessed Sheng Lingwei strike out of nowhere with lightning, and even being struck by five bolts of lightning, they dared not deceive themselves any longer.
As it turns out, Princess Chang Le possessed profound and terrifying strength, and was certainly no ordinary person.
They were just ordinary people, completely different from her. They were so arrogant and ignorant that they dared to oppose her. Weren't they just asking for trouble?
Waaaaaaah x﹏x!
If they had known this would happen, they would never have dared to oppose her. What should they do? What should they do? They haven't lived enough yet, they don't want to die!
"Weiwei, you must be tired of standing! Come on, sit down and talk, so you don't hurt yourself."
Jing Qingyun personally brought over a chair and, as if it were a priceless treasure, helped Sheng Lingwei sit down with a smile.
He then came up behind Sheng Lingwei and skillfully massaged her shoulders and back, serving her with great ease.
The kneeling person glanced at it furtively and clicked their tongue in amazement.
Good heavens! Even Prince Jing, the cold-blooded general who rose to fame at a young age, has submitted to Princess Chang Le.
This truly shocked them...
