"Okay, I understand," Bai Qingqing said, having a general idea of what was going on.
Seeing that Bai Qingqing didn't ask any more questions, Xiao Hao breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly asked, "Would you like to open the third return gift pack now, host?"
Before Bai Qingqing could reply, a servant from the auction house rushed in: "Clan leader, something has happened."
"Without any distinguished guests present, what kind of behavior is this, making such a racket?" Yun Yue reprimanded sternly.
"A demonic beast has entered the city, and the eldest son and fifth elder of the Star Moon Sect have been attacked..."
Before the servant could finish speaking, he felt a whooshing sound around him, and then the room was empty.
Even though Bai Qingqing currently "has no cultivation," she still ran out quickly.
Yun Zhan followed closely behind.
The grand event at this moment was like purgatory, filled with cries and screams.
Two centipedes, each hundreds of meters long, crushed a row of houses, grabbed ordinary people from the ground with both hands, and threw them into their mouths, crunching them up.
Thick, fresh blood trickled down.
The smell of blood was overwhelming.
Bai Hao and the Fifth Elder Qiao Mu were lying on the ground, blood at the corners of their mouths, their faces ashen.
They were all seriously injured.
"Hao'er..." Bai Wuji and Yue Xi flew over together, helped Bai Hao and Qiao Mu up, and then quickly moved them aside.
A white light shone from Yuexi's hand, helping them heal their internal injuries.
“They are at the half-step immortal realm.” Yun Yue said, rising into the air. Green vines surged forth, instantly wrapping the two centipedes into dumplings.
"Yo, not bad blood food." The centipede chuckled, its hundred legs waving in unison, easily severing the green vines.
"We're just one step away from reaching the Immortal Realm," Yun Yue said solemnly.
"Let's go together." Wukong said, taking the lead by summoning his Ruyi Jingu Bang, which was enveloped in raging flames as he charged forward.
Yunxi also drew her longsword, and the sharp sword energy slashed through the sky.
When Bai Qingqing ran out, the great battle had already broken out.
Looking at Tianyuan City, which resembled a hellish place, Bai Qingqing was immediately filled with rage.
The sky was quickly covered by dark clouds.
Suddenly, the wind howled, the rain poured down, and lightning flashed and thunder roared.
The two centipedes, who had been so arrogant just moments before, were instantly struck by a thick bolt of lightning.
Two screams rang out, and a stench of burning flesh filled the air.
The rain intensified.
The world-ending lightning, like silver snakes, slithered through the torrential rain.
Yet it didn't touch Wukong and the others at all.
They only chopped at the two centipedes.
The severed foot fell to the ground.
The two centipedes were in a sorry state and were quite bewildered.
What the hell is going on?
I haven't advanced in any level, so where did this tribulation come from?
And why does this lightning tribulation only strike me, while the others are completely unaffected?
No matter how they tried to dodge, the lightning seemed to have eyes.
Even if they hid behind those people, the lightning would simply change direction and still strike them.
Not only were they stunned, but Yun Yue and Yun Xi were also stunned.
Wukong observed for a moment, then immediately understood. He picked up his Ruyi Jingu Bang and charged forward again.
The master's anger was directed only at the two dead centipedes.
Sure enough, the storm, rain, and lightning automatically avoided Wukong, and the storm even gave Wukong a speed boost.
"You beast, take this!" Wukong grabbed the huge golden cudgel with his little paws and swung it down directly at the head of one of the centipedes.
The centipede, weakened by the lightning strike, was no match for Wukong's full-force attack.
His head was instantly smashed, and his brains splattered all over the ground.
Seeing this, Yun Yue understood.
It soared into the air once more, and thousands of vines in front of it coalesced into a giant green sword, stabbing towards the head of another centipede.
"Brother, I'll lend you a hand!" Yunxi shouted, and his long sword followed closely behind.
The centipede was already exhausted from being chased by lightning and had no strength left to evade it.
He was pierced through the brain by the longsword made of vines and Yunxi's spiritual weapon, and fell to the ground with a thud, dead beyond any doubt.
Bai Qingqing finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Wukong return victorious.
She had no idea that those scenes were the result of her anger, and only thought they were the magical techniques of Wukong and the others.
"Host, we just randomly got Wukong, and it's already at the half-step immortal realm." Before Bai Qingqing could speak, Xiao Hao shouted loudly.
Bai Qingqing originally wanted to ask Wukong what level he had reached, as he seemed very powerful.
Upon hearing this, he switched to praise: "Wukong is really amazing."
Then he quickly walked up to Bai Hao and Qiao Mu, took out two healing pills, and handed them to them: "These are for healing, eat them quickly."
Bai Hao was already used to it and simply threw it into his mouth.
His injuries healed instantly, and his cultivation level improved even further.
Qiao Mu clutched the healing pill, his hand trembling.
He had already heard the old sect leader, the sect leader, and other elders in the sect talk about Bai Qingqing.
But I've never seen it in person.
Today is one time.
He felt that they must have covered it up.
What kind of immortal is this? Can someone above the immortal level control the heaven and earth's lightning tribulations?
And this healing pill...
His injuries are not serious and he will recover in a year or two, so can we not eat them or can we keep them as a treasure?
but……
Meeting Bai Qingqing's gaze, he dared not hide, so he closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Not only did he recover instantly, but his original peak strength at the ninth level of the Core Formation Realm also advanced to the mid-stage of the fifth level of the Transformation Realm in that instant.
The extent to which one's cultivation improves is related to their inherent aptitude.
"Thank you, Miss." Qiao Mu said gratefully, feeling the surge of power within her.
"It's good that you're all alright." Bai Qingqing asked, "Didn't they say that with the law enforcement team and the city guards here, demonic beasts can't enter Tianyuan City?"
“These two centipedes are too powerful; the law enforcement team and the city guards can’t do anything to them,” Qiao Mu said, shaking his head.
Bai Qingqing understood when she thought about Wukong's current level of cultivation.
Even Wukong, who was at the half-step immortal realm, had fought them back and forth for so long, so their realm must not be too low either.
"These people are so pitiful." Bai Qingqing sighed as she looked at the severed limbs scattered on the ground.
"It was our dereliction of duty," Qiao Mu said, blaming himself.
"You've all done your best," Bai Qingqing said with a devout expression. "I hope they can be reborn into a good family in their next life and live a happy and peaceful life."
As soon as Bai Qingqing finished speaking, specks of light suddenly floated out from the bodies of the dead.
A road of yellow sand appeared in mid-air.
At the end of Huangsha Road, large swathes of fiery red flowers bloom.
Next to those flowers is a long, rolling river, with a bridge spanning it.
Beside the bridge stood a hunched old man, holding a bowl of soup in his hands.
The points of light drifted to the bridge and transformed into transparent figures who took the soup from the hunchbacked old man, drank it all in one gulp, and then stepped across the bridge.
In a short while, all the points of light crossed the bridge.
The hunchbacked old man put away his bowl, bowed deeply in Bai Qingqing's direction, and then with a wave of his hand, he vanished into the void.
