Within the Three Mountains City, only the half-ruined Duobao Pavilion was undergoing emergency repairs, but no one noticed what had happened to Shen Changlin and the Yang family, no matter how drastic it was.
The Yang family went to great lengths for this ambush, actually using fragments of the shattered secret realm to encompass the entire area.
This was to avoid being seen by the public and to prevent the Myriad Paths Sect from seeing it and coming to its aid. Although it was easy to break through from the outside, it could not be easily detected. The inside was like an illusion, exactly the same as the outside, and it was even more difficult to break out from the inside.
At this moment, Old Mei, leaning on a cane and walking unsteadily, appeared before everyone. Although she was old and frail, her aura was even stronger than that of the Yang family head!
"Boy, you killed my grandson, and you think you can get away?"
"Having committed such a cruel and wicked act, today this old woman will act on behalf of Heaven and punish you severely, you thief!"
Old Mei's voice hardened, and he stomped his cane on the ground.
Shen Changlin's face turned pale, but Elder Mei's attack was not aimed at him, but at the Yang family members and others trapped behind him. The residual power of the long sword was already greatly depleted, and now it was difficult to continue, so he was directly knocked away.
Soon, the Yang family patriarch and the others broke free from the restraints of the longswords, their faces showing embarrassment: "Elder Mei..."
"I'm not trying to be mean, but it's shameful that so many of you could be held back by Ruan Qing'an's single knife."
"Old Mei's lesson is correct."
The Yang family members apologized and surrounded him again. Under their locked aura, Shen Changlin could hardly move even slightly, but the Yang family patriarch remained very vigilant and warned him first.
"There's something strange about this kid, be careful!"
Old Mei sneered, "Heh... let's see then."
As soon as she finished speaking, her elderly body became exceptionally agile, and she instantly attacked Shen Changlin, using her hands as claws. She had practiced a technique called the "Severed Meridian Yin Claw," and many people had died from this move by Elder Mei in their youth.
As soon as the Yin Claw of the Severed Meridians was unleashed, it rushed towards Shen Changlin, carrying boundless Yin energy and a chilling killing intent.
A chilling wind blew, as if accompanied by the wails of countless evil spirits!
Shen Changlin's expression darkened slightly, and he dodged accordingly. However, with Elder Mei's murderous aura in front and the Yang family members eyeing him menacingly from behind, he was instantly grabbed by a giant bone claw formed from Yin energy and lifted into the air.
Countless hideous faces of evil spirits surged out from the grayish-white yin energy, tearing at him like hyenas.
The icy, malevolent energy seeped into my body, causing excruciating pain, as if I were falling into an ice cave.
Even though Shen Changlin tried his best to suppress his cries of pain, he still managed to let out painful gasps from his tightly clenched lips.
Within the sea of consciousness, the voice of the black mist was almost desperate.
"Ha... I never imagined that I would die here in this life, that I would die at the hands of the Yang family..."
"Shut up!"
Despite the extreme pain, Shen Changlin calmed down: "You were already a loser in your previous life, so stop pointing fingers at me."
“Even if we are both Shen Changlin, you are you and I am me. Don’t try to lecture me with your own ideas.”
"You should have gotten out when you started trying to control me!"
Shen Changlin roared, his dark eyes turning red as he looked at Elder Mei and the others surrounding him. He forcefully broke free from the restraint of one hand and tightly gripped the invisible chain around his neck.
He was completely enraged, like a trapped beast driven to the brink of despair, determined to fight to the death even if escape seemed impossible.
"Hahaha……"
A low, hoarse laugh rang out, its madness undisguised. The chains that Shen Changlin was tightly gripping gradually materialized; they were shackles descended from the Heavenly Dao, but now they shattered in response.
Accompanied by a faint sound, followed by something irresistible!
The Heavenly Chains that had been restricting the innate Dao Body shattered violently, turning into pale golden light spots that dissipated. A thunderclap suddenly resounded, causing a tremor even within the small, sealed secret realm. A radiant glow descended from the sky, washing away all impurities, and everything was elevated to a higher level.
Calamity clouds surged, and a devastating lightning tribulation was gathering, the restrictions personally laid down by the Heavenly Dao being deliberately broken—
The heavens were enraged, and thunderous tribulations rolled forth, carrying the power to destroy the world.
In an instant, even the Yang family and others were included. Even Elder Mei let go of his grip, his expression changing drastically: "Run!"
"Run? Where to run?"
At the center of the tribulation, Shen Changlin was fearless. His eyes were filled with a mad ruthlessness that made people afraid. He then boldly chased after him.
Calamity clouds surged across the sky, the might of heaven was vast and its momentum was fierce.
Shen Changlin didn't dodge or evade, but chased after the Yang family members: "Weren't you going to kill me? Come on, why are you running?"
Even if I die today, none of you will live!
"Through the netherworld and the six realms of reincarnation, I will deny you even the chance to be reborn. If you want to kill me, then we will all be annihilated!"
The elders of the Yang family turned pale as they looked at the lightning tribulation comparable to that of the Transcending Tribulation stage. Upon hearing Shen Changlin's words, they couldn't help but curse inwardly—this guy is truly insane!
Shen Changlin, whose cultivation was only at the Golden Core stage, chased a group of Nascent Soul and Void Refinement cultivators all over the place, with lightning flashing behind him.
Within his sea of consciousness, he stared in disbelief at the black mist.
"Even if you do this, you will still die..."
But Shen Changlin said coldly, "Yes, but they are also within the range of the lightning tribulation. They can't get out of here either. They either help me block it, or we'll all be finished when my lightning tribulation comes down."
The black mist paused: "You—"
"I've said it before, we're not the same."
At this moment, the tribulation clouds had already gathered, dark and pressing down on the earth, with lightning surging within them. The next moment—a terrifying thunderclap, seemingly capable of shattering half the sky, swept in with unstoppable force, almost capable of destroying everything!
The surging lightning flashed and reflected in the boy's eyes.
Shen Changlin finally stopped in his tracks. He looked up at the massive thunderclap and suddenly chuckled, "What a pity."
"I haven't been able to give the bracelet to my master yet..."
The bracelet that was always wrapped around his wrist was the "Meeting Joy" bracelet.
But just as the thunder struck, the sealed secret realm space suddenly burst open with a huge gap, and under the endless lightning, a woman dressed in a plain white Taoist robe walked out of the gap.
She was slender and tall, with a figure as delicate as a willow swaying in the breeze, yet she possessed a sharp edge, exuding a cool and noble air.
Ruan Qing'an used his hand as a knife and swung it out of thin air—
The sharp intent of the blade clashed with the thunderous roar.
Thunder roared and lightning flashed, but it seemed unable to harm her. Ruan Qing'an landed lightly, blocking Shen Changlin's path.
"Sorry I'm late."
"Master..."
Shen Changlin was stunned, and the madness in his eyes completely disappeared.
