Whoosh!
Fu Yu and Fu Shengwen landed before the cave abode Li Ping had rented. Fu Yu wore a grave expression, while Fu Shengwen's face was full of apprehension.
In all honesty.
After witnessing the outrageous tribulation lightning Lu Da had drawn during his Nascent Soul Formation not long ago, he had no desire whatsoever to come here.
But his ancestor oversaw Heavenly Dao City. Other cultivators could keep their distance out of fear, but his ancestor had a duty to investigate. At the very least, he had to determine whether Lu Da was still alive.
As for that bizarre lightning tribulation, they could discuss it slowly afterward.
"Go announce our visit."
At his ancestor's quiet instruction, Fu Shengwen gritted his teeth and stepped forward. Taking a Sound Transmission Talisman from his Storage Bag, he said softly, "Senior Lu, my ancestor and I have come to visit."
Only then did he toss the Sound Transmission Talisman into the formation and stand outside the abode, quietly waiting.
Judging by the celestial phenomena Lu Da's Nascent Soul Formation had triggered, he was definitely a Nascent Soul Cultivator now, provided he had survived.
Thus, Fu Shengwen prudently changed how he addressed his fellow Daoist Lu Da, lest the man hold it against him.
But several quarter-hours passed after the talisman flew inside, and there was still not the slightest movement from the abode. Fu Shengwen couldn't help wondering, Could Lu Da have died?
This was not groundless speculation.
Generally speaking, the lightning tribulation of Nascent Soul Formation dispersed under only two circumstances: either the cultivator endured its trial, or the cultivator was struck dead.
They had watched from too far away earlier to make out the details clearly.
But one thing was certain: they had not seen Lu Da endure the lightning tribulation.
