Staring at the bizarre scene, Pei Ling froze.
"Kongmeng" and "Mogui" were also bewildered, confusion filling their starry eyes.
This Heavenly Tribulation...
What in the world was going on?
And why was the vast Qingqiu completely deserted, with the Nine-tailed Foxes all hiding inside the wards? Was it because they feared the Heavenly Tribulation?
Then why, when they had first entered Qingqiu...
As he pondered this, the tribulation clouds above slowly began to turn. Their vast layers surged as a gigantic vortex took shape.
The vortex stretched across ten thousand li, churning up violent gales.
Above Qingqiu, countless plants shook violently, the forested hills roiling as leaves rained down like raging waves.
At the heart of the vortex, purple and cyan light flickered rapidly, its terrifying pressure bearing down on every direction.
A blinding white light illuminated heaven and earth, like a flood that had reached its breaking point and was about to burst forth.
Rumbling thunder gathered and rolled. The next wave of tribulation lightning was about to strike!
From within the wards, that cold voice rang out again. "What's going on?"
"Why hasn't the Heavenly Tribulation ended?"
As soon as the words fell, a white figure flew out from within the wards. Her wide sleeves fluttered, her skirt trailing nine tails. Her cloudlike green hair was piled high and adorned with a slanted wooden hairpin, while a wreath woven from five-colored spirit flowers crowned her head. Her white palace attire, embroidered with gold, billowed in the long wind. Her immortal bearing was peerlessly beautiful, her graceful poise exquisite; she seemed flawless, radiating an ethereal and lofty air.
Her face was unfamiliar to Pei Ling and the others, yet, for some reason, her figure seemed vaguely familiar.
Before they could give it much thought, the sky suddenly trembled!
BOOM!!!
