Ji Fengming felt a surge of anger rising within him. He really wanted to push Hei Xiao into a corner or on the ground, somewhere he couldn't escape, and then shout at him, "I've really thought it through. I won't disobey you or defile you. Let's be the same as before, okay?!"
But he dared not.
He's surrounded by family and friends now, and he can't explain what he's doing to them.
Doing so would be tantamount to revealing to Xiao Chen that he had different feelings for him, which might make Xiao Chen even more disgusted with him and avoid him like the plague from then on.
Ji Fengming awkwardly withdrew his hand, turned around dejectedly, and went back to his tent to change his clothes.
Everyone assumed he was upset because he was struck by lightning, so they didn't take it to heart and even chuckled to themselves.
Just then, something unexpected happened.
A bolt of lightning, as thick as an adult's arm, suddenly descended from the sky.
As always, Ji Fengyao and Shang Xiye were in sync. Both of them felt a chill and instinctively pulled the people next to them to the side.
Looking up, they saw that the lightning bolt, as thick as an arm, struck the mountain peaks around them, but strangely veered off course and landed on the summit of the three peaks, shearing off a small portion of the mountainside.
Everyone was stunned once again:
Are there still some that haven't been chopped clean?
Only Ji Fengyao and Shang Xiye knew that this tribulation lightning was aimed at Shang Xiye.
But they were also puzzled:
Why did the lightning suddenly change direction?
Ji Fengyao looked back at the three mountain peaks behind her, which contained spiritual minerals.
Could it be because there are a lot of spiritual minerals in the mountains?
But I've never heard of spirit stones having the effect of warding off lightning. Otherwise, those powerful cultivators wouldn't have to face death and make arrangements for their affairs every time they undergo tribulation.
"Xiao Si, can you help me see if there's anything else in this mountain besides spirit stones?" Ji Fengyao's heart stirred, and she pulled Cao Xiao Si over to ask.
Cao Xiaosi's cultivation level has recently increased significantly, and his innate abilities have also improved considerably. He can even sense things buried dozens of meters underground.
However, he had only ever paid attention to the underground and never to these three mountain peaks.
Only after Ji Fengyao spoke did he carefully examine the three mountain peaks and indeed noticed some clues.
"So there are spirit stones in these three mountains too, but not as many as underground. But there seems to be a wall halfway up the mountain that my senses can't penetrate," Cao Xiaosi said, somewhat puzzled. He had never encountered such a situation before.
Ji Fengyao was overjoyed upon hearing this: "If even your senses can't penetrate it, then it must be an extraordinary treasure. Perhaps that tribulation lightning was able to bypass it because of the existence of that thing."
After Cao Xiaosi carefully pinpointed the location of "that wall," Ji Fengyao called everyone to head to the mountainside to dig up the mysterious object.
After cutting down the trees and shoveling away the thick layer of mud, Ji Fengyao and the others discovered a cave more than two meters high.
There are some intricate array patterns on the stone door next to the cave, which are probably restrictions set up by the cave's owner in the past. However, due to the collapse of this world, the drop in rank, the destruction of laws, and the erosion of time, these restrictions have been damaged and rendered ineffective.
Therefore, this cave became an ordinary cave, and perhaps that's why it remained undiscovered for countless years to come.
Ji Fengyao and her group easily pushed open the stone door.
The furnishings inside the stone gate are very simple, but the stone table and chairs are exquisitely carved, unlike the work of ordinary stonemasons, and can be called works of art!
