"Who said my disciple was dead?"
Gu Fengyang was irritated by the endless discussion. He wrapped his voice in True Essence and roared, his shout no less thunderous than a bolt of Heavenly Lightning.
Fang Zhongwu furrowed his brows slightly and glanced sideways at Gu Fengyang. The man seemed even more concerned about his son than he was.
As for Fang Yuan not having died in the Lightning Tribulation, he knew that better than anyone.
"This child has astonishing talent. If he survives the tribulation, we can only try to win him over." Emperor Hongtai's gaze was deep as he weighed his options.

It was Wang Ting, an elder of the Azure Cloud Sect, who had come riding his sword. He was clearly slower than the first two and had arrived late.

Wang Ting was bewildered. He instinctively asked which disciple, but he remembered that the Honored Elder had no disciple close to a breakthrough, and none in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

"What? A Foundation Building cultivator facing a tribulation?" Wang Ting's eyes widened.
Below, people were still discussing and wondering whether Fang Yuan was dead.

The strong cultivators of the Azure Cloud Academy had a knack for teaching. One of the Vice Palace Masters slowly began to explain.
"This means the person undergoing the tribulation is still alive. Judging by the situation, more Heavenly Lightning will fall!"
