Sui Yi was running around frantically, like a mad monkey, darting about everywhere. Wherever she went, it was like a locust plague, leaving the place lifeless.
When will this ever end?! Sui Yi thought to herself.
There were three more tribulation lightning bolts. These tribulation lightning bolts were truly admirable; their perseverance was simply awe-inspiring.
The year-round dragon ran faster and faster, and the lightning bolts chased after it with great relish.
On the other side, after smelling the medicinal fragrance emanating from Sui Yi, Jiang Heng understood everything and knew exactly what was going on.
She slowly walked to Zhao Heng's side and reached out to tug at his sleeve.
Zhao Heng turned to look at her, smiled gently, his expression full of tenderness.
"What's wrong?"
"Senior brother, this smell seems familiar."
"Really? Actually, this smell is coming from Junior Uncle. It seems that the Supreme Elder said that Junior Uncle used a certain medicine by chance, so he has this medicinal smell on him."
Jiang Heng's face stiffened, and she lowered her head to hide her surprise.
"Senior brother, do you know what medicine Junior Uncle is taking?"
"I don't know about that," Zhao Heng shook his head, indicating that he was unaware of the matter.
"Senior Brother Zhao, there's something I want to tell you, but I don't know..." After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Heng bit her lip and looked up at him.
"What's up?"
Do you remember what happened last time we went to the Enchanted Forest?
"I remember that time. We unfortunately encountered a beast tide." Recalling the perilous situation at that time, he still felt lingering fear.
“I’ve always had a very keen sense of smell. Once, when we were in the Enchanted Forest, I smelled a medicinal fragrance. I suspected that the fragrance might have attracted the magical beasts. Later, after I got separated from you, I saw a ginseng that was ten thousand years old, but I accidentally fell into the swamp, so I could only watch it run away.”
"But why haven't I heard you mention this?"
"Because I didn't want to disappoint everyone, I didn't say anything." Jiang Heng pouted, looking at Zhao Heng innocently.
A ginseng that is ten thousand years old would be an absolute temptation for anyone who saw it, and even just hearing about it would be enough to risk going there.
"Are you sure about this?" Zhao Heng was intrigued. A ten-thousand-year-old ginseng was a rare and precious treasure. If he were lucky enough to obtain a ten-thousand-year-old ginseng, not to mention its priceless value, even just eating a small amount would increase his cultivation by at least a hundred years. Moreover, if it were refined into pills with other medicinal herbs, its value would increase several times over.
"Also, the scent of that ginseng is exactly the same as this one." It has to be said that Jiang Heng really went to great lengths, saying a long string of words just to divert everyone's attention to Sui Yi. Such cunning is truly not to be underestimated.
"This is something you can't just say carelessly, you know?" Zhao Heng wasn't an idiot. Even if it was someone he liked who said it, he wouldn't blindly believe it. From what she said, there were two meanings: one was that his junior uncle had a ten-thousand-year-old ginseng, and the other was that his junior uncle wasn't human. No matter which guess it was, he was helpless.
Given his status and strength, anyone who could gain an advantage from him would have to do so willingly.
Behind Junior Uncle stands the Supreme Elder, who has now successfully passed the tribulation and is now an immortal. If he doesn't ascend, he will live as long as heaven and earth. Junior Uncle is also undergoing tribulation, but regardless of his true identity, it has nothing to do with me.
If Suiyi knew Zhao Heng's thoughts, she would definitely be somewhat satisfied with him; he wasn't blinded by love and was quite rational.
Jiang Heng was a smart woman. Seeing that Zhao Heng was unmoved by her words, she knew his plan. However, she was unwilling to give up. Thinking of the humiliation she suffered in the Magic Forest, how could she be expected to cultivate diligently without getting revenge? She clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and turned to leave.
If he won't help me, then I'll have to find a way myself. I really can't rely on anyone but myself!
As Zhao Heng walked to the side, his entire focus was on the group of elders ahead, and he didn't notice Jiang Heng's departure at all.
Sui Yi ran with great effort, not because she didn't want to stop, but because she was looking for an opportunity. Seeing that the tribulation lightning was becoming more and more powerful, she dared not delay at all.
"Oh no, I can't take it anymore. Quick, find out where the female lead is. I can't let my enemies have it easy while I'm in such a sorry state." Sui Yi asked Ah Xing in her mind. Anyway, the mission said to chase after the female lead. In her current state, chasing after her was indeed very suitable. No one would dare to interfere with her. Perhaps she could still complete the assignment.
The biggest blow is the blow to both body and mind. To appear in front of her like this, to show off, to flaunt your strengths while highlighting her weaknesses, to achieve with such ease what she struggles to reach, is even more infuriating.
Suiyi made up her mind, and Ah Xing helped her locate Jiang Heng's location.
"Check if anyone is around her."
“Okay!” Ah Xing replied, and a short while later, “Sui Sui, Jiang Heng is all alone. There’s no one around her.”
"This is truly a stroke of luck." Sui Yi ran over following the location and saw Jiang Heng holding a sword, seemingly searching for something. As if hearing the sound coming from Sui Yi's direction, she was startled and immediately looked up. After seeing the situation, she tried to drop the sword and run away.
"Hey, brave warrior over there! Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, don't run away!" Sui Yi chased after them, while Jiang Heng ran ahead, with lightning following behind them. Presumably, they didn't have to take detours in the sky, so Sui Yi obediently took a few hits.
"Damn it!" Although the lightning that struck her wasn't a regular tribulation lightning, it still left Sui Yi in a sorry state, her whole body bathed in lightning. The feeling was... well, let's just say it was quite intense.
Sui Yi ran closer and closer to Jiang Heng, her eyes darting around before she leaped and grabbed her. In that instant, Jiang Heng felt her entire body go numb from the electric shock, losing all sensation.
As if Thor had seen clearly where Sui Yi had stopped, he cunningly unleashed the seventh tribulation lightning. With a deafening boom, the spot where Sui Yi and Jiang Heng stood was now a huge crater, surrounded by charred blackness and a faint smell of something burnt.
The tribulation lightning was still brewing, and Sui Yi felt as if her internal organs were about to shift!
Turning to look at Jiang Heng, who was as dark as firewood beside her, she noticed that not a single part of her skin was not black; she was darker than an African.
"Hey! Are you dead or not? If you're not, say something!" Sui Yi's mission was only to let Jiang Heng experience what the original owner had gone through; she didn't intend for her to die.
