Feng Qingxue stood there stunned by the disheveled scene. What on earth had happened? Her gaze finally fell on Ji Jiuying. Jiu'er? She was actually a woman! And such a beautiful one at that.
Seeing how worried Feng Che was about her, a trace of sadness flashed in Feng Qingxue's eyes, and her heart ached. But she quickly regained her composure and helped Hei Xiangling up from the ground with Yin Han. "Don't worry about me, go and see that brat."
With a nervous heart, Feng Qingxue approached Feng Che's side. "Second Master Feng, I've come to see her."
Feng Che loosened his grip slightly, and just as Feng Qingxue reached out, the horned dragon behind her spoke up: "It's no use. You should think about how to deal with the third heavenly punishment."
Everyone then realized that there was a dragon there. Could it be that Jiu'er and Hei Xiangling were injured because of this dragon?
Heavenly Punishment... Could those two loud noises just now have been heavenly punishment? But how could the two of them have attracted heavenly punishment? Just as Feng Che was about to speak, a rumbling sound came from above, which also indicated that the third heavenly punishment was about to descend.
Looking at the unconscious Ji Jiuying, Feng Che frowned, his eyes filled with worry.
Despite the pain, Hei Xiangling climbed onto Ji Jiuying and took her from Feng Che's arms. "I made a mistake, and the punishment should be mine, but now it has fallen on her. So I will bear it with her. You all go away."
Although Feng Che didn't understand what had happened, he didn't leave. He circled around the two of them, forming a lightning-controlling array, and an orange umbrella appeared in his hand, landing above them.
Yin Han wasn't idle either; he continuously gathered spiritual energy in his hands, forming a defensive barrier around the two of them.
When Feng Qingxue saw Feng Che's umbrella, her eyes flickered slightly. It was the Golden Divine Umbrella. Her gaze fell on Feng Che, who was looking at the woman named Xiao Jiu with worry in his eyes. If she died, he would be very sad.
After hesitating for a moment, a look of pain appeared on her face. A bloody Heart-Protecting Scale appeared in her hand, and her face turned pale. This was the Heart-Protecting Scale passed down from her Feng family. It was made by combining three Heart-Protecting Scales from the Azure Dragon into one. It was extremely hard and could defend against almost any attack.
Hopefully, this protective unicorn could save her. Feng Qingxue used her spiritual power to transfer the protective unicorn to Ji Jiuying. The protective unicorn landed on her chest and disappeared, while a trace of bright red blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.
That's the Heart-Protecting Scale! The Feng family's heirloom. Feng Che and Yin Han looked at Feng Qingxue in surprise. She actually gave the Heart-Protecting Scale to Jiu'er. You should know that once the Heart-Protecting Scale enters the body, you have to gouge out your heart to get it out. Obviously, Feng Qingxue just did that. A complicated look flashed in Feng Che's eyes.
Meanwhile, the few small beasts that were anxiously pacing around in the space could only protect Ji Jiuying within the space.
Rumble!
The sound of lightning was getting closer and closer. Outside Julong Lake, Gong Mingyue stood there, a Nine Revolutions Nether Seal appearing in his hand. Yingyue and Wuxin behind him exchanged a look of surprise.
Who exactly provoked this heavenly punishment in the secret realm? The master even used the Nine Revolutions Netherworld Seal to protect him. Could it be Yin Han?
The two shook their heads; given their master's past behavior, this was impossible.
At that moment, a fiery red figure appeared in their minds. They looked at each other and seemed to guess what the other was thinking.
"Could it be that the mistress is in the secret realm?" Wuxin transmitted his voice.
Yingyue narrowed his eyes. Before he came to the Heavenly Domain, his mistress was already close to the level of ascension. At her speed, it was very likely that she was. [Highly probable. Think about it, besides the mistress, who else could make the master go this crazy?]
But the master no longer remembers the mistress...
Wuxin still remembers the gloomy expression on his master's face when they mentioned the mistress. He refused to believe that he could be so intimate with a woman, and even forbade them from mentioning it.
"Are you stupid? The mistress has the Phoenix Frost Bracelet. If there's any danger, the master will sense it," Yingyue said.
The two became increasingly convinced that Ji Jiuying was inside. They exchanged a glance and quickly stepped forward, using all the defensive treasures they could find, just to help Ji Jiuying withstand some of the attacks.
At that moment, a bolt of lightning ripped through the sky, like a giant dragon swooping down. Gong Mingyue glanced at the dark clouds above, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes, and blocked it with the Nine Revolutions Nether Seal in his palm.
Bang!
A deafening roar shook the heavens and the earth. Lightning struck the Nine Revolutions Nether Seal, emitting a dazzling flash of fire. Hundreds of bolts of lightning scattered outwards from Gathering Dragon Lake, striking the lake water and creating towering waves, while striking the forest and igniting raging fires.
Gong Mingyue continuously circulated the Nine Revolutions Nether Seal with spiritual power in his hands. The wind made his robes flutter, but he did not move an inch. He was so frenzied that his eyes were bloodshot and he was almost going berserk. He was surrounded by flames, and Yingyue and Wuxin were dumbfounded.
He was so angry for the sake of a woman that he didn't know why, but he followed his heart.
The image of that red figure resurfaced in his mind, blurry yet conveying a sense of her severe injuries and imminent death. Then, excruciating pain struck again. Gong Mingyue's eyes turned red, a terrifying aura enveloped him, and his cold, handsome face was filled with murderous intent, like a demon from the depths of hell.
No, I can't let her die, the thought kept screaming in his mind. Lightning kept flashing around him. Suddenly, Gong Mingyue knelt down and a mouthful of bloody sweetness surged up.
"master."
Yingyue and Wuxin cried out in alarm, but there was too much lightning around them to get through.
Gong Mingyue raised his head, a fierce glint in his eyes. He roared, and his power exploded instantly. The Nine Revolutions Nether Seal shattered the heavenly punishment into pieces. Such a heaven-defying act would also cause Gong Mingyue to suffer a severe backlash. The thunderclouds slowly dissipated, and with a thud, Gong Mingyue fell into a pool of blood, two lines of bloody tears streaming from his eyes, a shocking sight.
Upon reaching the Dragon Palace, only wisps of electricity remained. The Phoenix Frost Bracelet in Ji Jiuying's hand flickered, and the lightning vanished instantly.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they did not let their guard down. With the help of several small beasts, Ji Jiuying had regained consciousness, but the soul-tearing pain still made her frown. She had no strength in her body and could only slowly use her soul technique to repair herself.
The horned dragon looked up in astonishment. "What's going on? The divine punishment clearly came down, so why is there only this little bit?"
Feng Che and the others shared the same question. Yin Han looked at the horned dragon and respectfully stepped forward, saying, "Senior, are you saying that the lightning bolt just now was the final heavenly punishment?"
Seeing that Yin Han was not like Hei Xiangling, the horned dragon replied politely, "Yes, but it seems that the Heavenly Punishment was intercepted halfway."
