Chapter 252: Liu Mei’s Tribulation
Hearing Zhao Ningzhi’s words, Lin Fengmian finally understood why the Joyful Union Sect had to go so far into the Eastern Wilderness to kidnap men.
It was because their way out in the Northern Abyss was blocked, otherwise why would they travel all the way to the Eastern Wilderness?
As for Jun Wuxie of the Heavenly Grace Dynasty, he coveted Shangguan Yuqiong herself, posing little threat to the Joyful Union Sect.
Jun Wuxie used the power of the Heavenly Deception Sect to pressure Shangguan Yuqiong, forcing her to submit.
As long as Shangguan Yuqiong was his, the Joyful Union Sect would become his personal harem.
But he was just one person; no matter what, the consequences would be limited.
Shangguan Yuqiong had to choose between becoming a subordinate sect of the Heavenly Deception Sect to protect herself.
Or sell herself to a Foundation Establishment Realm Jun Wuxie to protect Joyful Union Sect.
Joyful Union Sect was now plagued by internal and external troubles, all depending on Shangguan Yuqiong’s final decision.
He bowed, “Thank you, elder, for the information. The disciple takes his leave.”
Zhao Ningzhi smiled, “Since you’re here, why don’t you have a cup of tea before you leave?”
“Disciple has urgent matters, so I won’t have tea with Elder.”
Lin Fengmian quickly slipped away.
Joking, drinking tea, it was probably Zhao Ningzhi’s old tea, right?
If he drank it, he might not digest it well, better to go back and drink something light.
Zhao Ningzhi watched him flee in panic and couldn’t help but giggle.
Mei, the boy you like is quite interesting.
I hope he can bring some more interesting things.
Otherwise, if Joyful Union Sect is really annexed by Heavenly Deception Sect, I won’t be so free.
What if some old ghost from the Heavenly Deception Sect wants me to serve him? That would be troublesome.
I have no interest in old and ugly men.
At that moment, a strange fluctuation spread, as if something was brewing in the sky.
Zhao Ningzhi’s expression changed slightly, then she was slightly delighted, “This little girl really broke through so quickly?”
She turned into a streak of light and flew outside, seeing a vast thundercloud brewing in the sky, it was a tribulation.
This strange aura attracted a lot of attention, including Lin Fengmian who had just run out of the hall.
When he looked up, the dark clouds were gathering over Bamboo Peak, and lightning was flickering inside.
As someone who had experienced it, Lin Fengmian immediately understood that someone was breaking through and summoning the tribulation.
Was this the tribulation of the Core Formation Realm?
Had someone at Bamboo Peak broken through to the Core Formation Realm?
It should be an inner sect disciple at the Core Formation Realm stage here.
Thinking about this, he immediately thought of someone.
Liu Mei!
She was Zhao Ningzhi’s disciple, it was normal for her to be here in closed-door cultivation.
Lin Fengmian couldn’t help but look around nervously, searching for the person who had crossed the tribulation.
Soon, a figure flew out from the courtyard of Bamboo Peak, standing on a silver flying disc.
She held a Qin in her hand, dressed in a red palace gown, her sleeves fluttering in the dark sky, beautiful beyond description.
That figure as gentle as a willow leaning against the wind, with that enchanting figure, who else could it be but Liu Mei?
Liu Mei looked at the tribulation clouds in the sky, revealing a charming smile.
As she looked around, she saw Zhao Ningzhi as expected, but she also saw an unexpected familiar figure.
Lin Fengmian?
Why was he here?
She stared at the disfigured Lin Fengmian and smiled charmingly.
Lin Fengmian unconsciously smiled back, then realized.
This woman actually recognized him?
She really was a woman who knew him inside and out, seeing through his identity at a glance.
Liu Mei smiled at Lin Fengmian, her heart settled slightly, no longer looking around, focusing on the tribulation in the sky.
Zhao Ningzhi saw Liu Mei’s reaction and couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
Since this disobedient disciple got a sweetheart, she has forgotten her master.
I wasted my spiritual energy and treasures to help you break through, it was all in vain.
At this moment, as the first tribulation thunder fell, Liu Mei didn’t dare to be careless, gently strumming her Zither.
A series of blades poured out from her Zither, flying towards the sky and colliding with the tribulation thunder.
The first tribulation thunder was just a probe, easily broken by Liu Mei, but it was followed by the second and third thunder.
Lin Fengmian stared at Liu Mei, who was using all her strength to resist the tribulation, and couldn’t help but sweat.
He was more nervous than when he crossed the tribulation himself, worried that Liu Mei couldn’t pass the tribulation of the Core Formation Realm.
After all, although Liu Mei was strong, she wasn’t an attack-oriented cultivator, but a sound-based group attack cultivator.
Due to the limitations of her instrument, the techniques she practiced were all area attacks, not strong in single target, so she wasn’t at any advantage against the tribulation.
But Liu Mei’s figure, though seemingly weak, had an unyielding aura, and her strength was far stronger than Lin Fengmian had imagined.
As the thunder fell, she was a bit disheveled, even a few strings of her Zither were broken, but she still handled it with ease.
She was obviously well prepared, with recovery pills, potential-stimulating secret techniques, protective treasures, all available.
This was a world of difference from Lin Fengmian’s previous tribulation crossing, making him feel a bit awkward.
Was my previous tribulation crossing too casual?
Liu Mei’s tribulation crossing attracted a lot of attention, after all, breaking through in the inner sect was a rare event.
In the crowd of onlookers, Lin Fengmian unexpectedly found male figures.
He couldn’t help but observe the group and noticed that they were all wearing black robes with a skull emblem.
It seemed that these were the so-called honored guests from the Heavenly Deception Sect.
The leading young man was pale and beardless, with a gloomy expression on his face, looking like someone not to be trifled with.
This man was only at the Foundation Establishment Realm, but there were many experts around him, all following him.
It seemed that this was Cao Chengyu, the youngest son of the Heavenly Deception Sect elder Cao Cheng’an.
Cao Cheng’an stared at Liu Mei in the sky without blinking, showing an expression that Lin Fengmian was familiar with.
It was the expression of looking at prey!
This made Lin Fengmian’s killing intent surge, this bastard had good eyes, but why did he always target the people he cared about?
Are you really tired of living?
Kid, you want to die, don’t blame me!
As for the cooperation between Heavenly Deception Sect and Joyful Union Sect, Lin Fengmian had to sabotage it both emotionally and rationally.
Once the Joyful Union Sect submitted to the Heavenly Deception Sect, what would happen to him, the fake Jun Wuxie?
At that time, not only would his life be in danger, but probably no one in the know would survive.
Lin Fengmian began to calculate in his heart how to disrupt the cooperation between the two sides.
The Elder Cao of the Soul Severing Realm was too high to reach, so the best entry point was naturally this Cao Cheng’an.
This guy wasn’t strong, but his guards were quite a lot, not easy to deal with.
He needed an excuse to make him come to his death.
He was quite familiar with these noble sons, and he soon had a plan in mind.
