Breaking Through

"Who are you, and why are you slaughtering the people of the Li Household?!" A Nascent Soul cultivator Imprisonment in mid-air, hysterically questioned.

But there was no answer to the question; the nascent Nascent Soul was instantly crushed by a single grasp.

A graceful figure in white robes and with white hair stood in the air, gazing towards Thousand Hills Town with indifference in her eyes, but upon closer inspection, one could detect a faint hint of killing intent.

This person was none other than Shen Ge's master Mo Qingyu. After breaking through to the Spirit Severing Realm, she immediately rushed back to the Ancient Wilderness, determined to avenge that day.

As for why she targeted the Li Household in Thousand Hills Town, it was simply because she couldn't find the main culprit and could only vent her anger on them.

Moreover, she never makes enemies, but once she does, she will absolutely eliminate them completely!

Li Household of that woman, the entire Li Household is now on Mo Qingyu's kill list!

"Not here yet? Looks like you haven't died enough."

Mo Qingyu was luring Spirit Severing Realm expert from the Li Household; she intended to ascertain his exact strength.

Thirty years later.

On this day, dark clouds suddenly gathered over Azure Origin City, and a figure quickly flew out of Azure Origin City, leading the calamity clouds to the desolate mountain area.

On a mountaintop, Shen Ge's aura surged, and he calmly gazed at the dark clouds in the sky.

Before long, the mountaintop fifty miles away was filled with people who had come to watch the ceremony. Some were there to join in the fun, some were there to watch the tribulation of lightning, and some were there to keep watch.

After all, although Shen Ge has been staying in Azure Origin City all these years, the forces that covet him have never given up. They cannot take action directly in Azure Origin City, but now that he has left Azure Origin City, after this tribulation, this guy will be at their mercy.

On a mountaintop, a figure in light blue gracefully arrived. She glanced at Shen Ge, who was at the center of the storm, and then focused her gaze on the onlookers, especially those with malicious intent in their eyes.

"It seems we have no choice but to call in reinforcements." Li Xue chuckled, then took out array plates and began assembling them.

Now that Shen Ge Tribulation Transcendence, various parties are eager to make their moves. Li Xue knows she doesn't have the strength to protect Shen Ge, so she chooses to call for help, and the person she calls for is none other than her master.

Suddenly, an elderly man with white hair and a rather otherworldly appearance appeared next to Li Xue. With a kind expression, he raised his finger and gently pressed down, and instantly it felt as if a million giant mountains were pressing down, rendering Li Xue unable to move.

The old man was at the Integrated Body Middle Stage, and dealing with Li Xue, who was only at the Peak Nascent Soul, was like crushing an ant. However, he only Imprisonment her, since the powerful figure behind her was not someone to be trifled with.

"Young friend, there's no need to trouble the Venerable One with such a small matter. She's very busy, and we shouldn't disturb her," the old man said kindly, stroking his beard.

Li Xue can only move her eyes now; she can't even speak. She glared angrily at the old man, as if she were saying something.

The old man completely ignored the gaze and simply pointed to the sky. "Look, the tribulation lightning is coming."

A beam of white light swiftly illuminated the space, which had become somewhat gloomy due to the dark clouds, as if it were the only light.

After the light faded, Shen Ge, unharmed, remained standing in the same spot, but the ground, except for his own foothold, was covered with a layer of slowly flowing lava.

The lightning bolt nearly melted a mountaintop, demonstrating its immense power.

"He's taking it head-on! He actually chose to withstand the tribulation lightning!" someone in the audience exclaimed. "And not only did he withstand it, but his clothes didn't even get ruffled!"

"I think I just saw a flash of golden light; he must have used some kind of defensive technique."

"Stop talking, the second lightning strike is coming."

This time, it was a golden lightning bolt, like an extremely sharp spear, aimed directly at Shen Ge.

"It's the Five Elements Lightning Tribulation! It's the Five Elements Lightning Tribulation!"

"Hiss... Is this the power of a senior? He actually triggered a special lightning tribulation..."

"Her talent is quite impressive." The white-haired old man, who had restrained Li Xue, smiled as he looked at everything in the sky and commented softly, "To be able to trigger the Five Elements Lightning Tribulation, she's quite remarkable among the younger generation."

Shen Ge stared at the golden lightning rapidly falling from the sky, then waved his hand and took out a bright blue flying sword. The moment the flying sword appeared, the surrounding Sword Qi surged like a tide.

With a gentle wave of his hand, Shen Ge unleashed a terrifying sword light that shot straight into the sky, even faster than a bolt of lightning.

"This sword..." The white-haired old man stared intently at the azure flying sword in Shen Ge, his eyes filled with surprise and reminiscence. He seemed to recognize the sword's former owner.

"I never expected that Southern Splendor would be in his hands." The white-haired old man shook his head softly, then released Li Xue from her Imprisonment.

"Little brat, don't get angry, be quiet."

After regaining her freedom, Li Xue merely glanced coldly at the old man before continuing to set up the formation.

This time it went much more smoothly; surprisingly, no one jumped in to stop her.

Once the formation was complete, a mysterious aura flowed from its base.

After sensing the profound aura emanating from the array base, the white-haired elder slightly cupped his hands in greeting. "Greetings, Venerable Xu."

"Youngster from White Dragon City, what, are you plotting against my disciple?" An aged, indifferent voice slowly echoed from the array base. Though the person was not seen, their aura of detachment from the common people was conveyed through their words.

"I dare not." The old man looked fearful, as if he couldn't bear the blame.

I doubt you'd have the guts.

Suddenly, a faint divine thought rapidly spread out from the base of the array.

"It's quite lively."

"Roll!"

The first sound seemed to be just a soliloquy, but the second sound was a command. Although it was just a single word, and although it was only a voice coming through an array, the powerful figures hidden in the shadows could not ignore it.

Since she has spoken, it means she is protecting that person. Even if they wanted to, they wouldn't have the chance. You see, although that person is some distance away, she can come over in just one step if she wants to, so no one would want to cause trouble.

After all, offending a Venerable One, especially one who is known for holding grudges, for a mere Cultivation Method or sword move is not a worthwhile deal no matter how you look at it. Therefore, all the powerful figures in the shadows have already left.

"You've been away for almost fifty years this time, haven't you?"

"Reporting to Master, fifty-seven years have passed since I left," Li Xue replied.

"Fine, it's been fifty-seven years. You haven't even mentioned coming back to see my mother-in-law, and I haven't even sent you a message. Do you think you've grown too big for your britches?"

"Or have you forgotten you even have a master now that you've found a lover?"
