The moment the lightning struck, the demonic cultivators scattered in terror.
They had only one thought in their minds: Run! Get as far away from this lightning as possible, and don't let it affect you!
Fortunately, the Demon Lord's repeated attempts to dodge the heavenly lightning kept him away from the center of the crowd, and there weren't many people in the area where he was struck.
This made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness... as long as I'm not the one getting struck.
"Demon Lord!"
Someone shouted, and the demonic cultivators, who had just been feeling relieved, suddenly realized what had happened and hurriedly rushed towards the direction where the lightning had struck.
Fortunately, the lightning only struck once.
The dark clouds had begun to dissipate; otherwise, no one would have dared to go forward and check on the Demon Lord's life or death.
"Will the Demon Lord be alright?"
"Nonsense! How could the Demon Lord be in any danger?"
"Hard to say... I heard that Lord Heavenly Demon was struck dead by heavenly lightning in the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons..."
"Heavens! Could it be that the Demon Lord is destined to die young like the Heavenly Demon Lord?"
...
"Shut up!" a trusted aide beside the Demon Lord shouted sternly, "If you dare to utter another word of nonsense, when the Demon Lord comes out, you will all die without a burial place!"
Now, all those who had been clamoring that the Demon Lord might be gone shut up.
As one of the Demon Lord's countless children, Youxi was quick-witted and rushed to the front. Regardless of whether the Demon Lord lived or died, he had to make a good impression in this situation so that he could further advance his position as the young master.
"Ha—even if Father is really dead, it's not his place as a bastard to sit on the throne of Demon Lord."
Upon hearing the voice, Wu Hanyan turned his head and saw another young master under the Demon Lord.
So what's the point of having so many children?
Everyone coveted the Demon Lord's position and wished for his death.
It would be better to be like him, lingering among flowers without a single petal clinging to you.
Many people rushed towards the direction of the heavenly lightning. Wu Hanyan narrowed his eyes and said, "What if the Demon Lord and that girl die together under the heavenly lightning..."
They couldn't kill that girl, but heavenly lightning was no ordinary thing!
Wu Hanyan was in a good mood. When the Demon Lord beat up Tian Ning earlier, he had a conversation with Zhou Mengya. After this matter was over, Zhou Mengya could act as a go-between and help him inquire about people who had been in contact with her all along.
In some ways, the other party was their senior.
Not only did the other party arrive in this world earlier than them, but they were also bound to a gold medal system, so they naturally knew more than them and definitely knew how to restore his system!
As for him and Zhou Mengya, they were bound to a mid-level system, and their strength was not as great as each other's.
"I'm afraid she won't die so easily." Zhou Mengya's expression wasn't as optimistic as Wu Hanyan's.
That time at the Wenren family's place, she sent Youxi to help Wenren Xue fight Tianning in order to retrieve the Demon Sword, but it ultimately ended in failure. She remembered that Youxi had mentioned back then that heavenly lightning would strike...
At this moment, the flying sand and stones in the center of the thunderbolt blurred the view, making it difficult to see what was going on inside.
Wu Hanyan didn't take it seriously. He moved closer to Zhou Mengya without her noticing, as if to thank her for her help. His eyes were gentle as water, and he said very affectionately, "Mengya, I'm so grateful that you saved me earlier. Otherwise, I'm afraid that girl would have killed me."
Zhou Mengya: "..."
Seemingly oblivious to the disdain in Zhou Mengya's eyes, Wu Hanyan reached out to pull her into his arms: "I know you still care about me, otherwise you would have stood by and watched me die. Between us..."
Just as Zhou Mengya was about to shake off Wu Hanyan's hand in disgust, a burst of unrestrained laughter suddenly came from afar.
All eyes turned to the direction from which the lightning had struck.
At first, all everyone saw were two blurry figures, one large and one small, standing there. The lightning that struck down was so fierce, yet they were completely unharmed!
One of the demonic cultivators' expressions changed drastically: "She...she's still alive! What about the Demon Lord?"
