There are countless geniuses in the world of cultivation, but only my junior sister Sha Diao

What do you mean he's only at the Nascent Soul stage?

If he isn't a Nascent Soul cultivator, then what is he?

Why is this old man so tactless? What did he do to offend him?

Ye Suian narrowed his eyes. "What? Are you disappointed to see that I'm a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

That's really disappointing.

This means that all their previous guesses based on Ye Suian were instantly overturned.

"That shouldn't be the case," he murmured, then looked Ye Suian up and down. His tattered clothes clearly indicated that he was the one who had been struck by lightning earlier.

But the reality is quite different.

what is this?

Is the concept of lightning tribulation only for reference?

When they realized something was wrong, they tried to run away, but as soon as they turned around, an invisible pressure pressed them down, rendering them unable to move.

Therefore, they were completely baffled by the result they had witnessed.

Just then, the Ye family head's gaze suddenly fell on a certain spot, and his smile deepened. "They're all here?"

What is the old man muttering to himself?

The group, bound hand and foot, instinctively looked up and saw a nimble figure descending from above, its presence completely imperceptible.

They were startled.

Surprisingly, no one had noticed that someone was hiding in the shadows.

However, when they saw the familiar face that the other person turned around, several of them paused for a moment, and then suddenly straightened up.

Gu Xia clapped her hands and replied easily, "Don't worry, not a single one escaped."

The group she ignored had no time to question Ye Suian anymore; that wasn't the point. The point was—

"Gu Xia!"

"You're not dead?"

"Are you a human or a ghost?!"

Their eyes practically popped out of their sockets, a testament to their utter shock.

When Gu Xia turned around, it was as if she saw a dozen or so hundreds of watt light bulbs, which made her lean back slightly, followed by utter speechlessness.

"..."

how?

The first thing everyone, whether demon or cultivator, said to her was, "You're not dead?"

Did she break a divine law?

Gu Xia gave a half-smile, "I'm sorry to disappoint you."

"I'm doing very well."

She was fine when she wasn't smiling, but when she did, the group instinctively shuddered, their backs tensing slightly.

Long time no see, why does Gu Xia seem to be getting more and more ruthless?

"its not right?"

One of them ignored the 'mmm' sounds coming from his companion and stared straight at her. "Didn't everyone say you were dead?"

Or it's a self-destruction, the kind that's completely and utterly dead.

The demons suddenly went mad because they wanted the other's body. Although the reason is unclear, it is the conclusion they came to after careful consideration.

This kid must have some extraordinary abilities.

Who would have thought that they would just swagger in front of them like this?

He couldn't help but take a few more glances, looking at the shadow reflected under Gu Xia's feet, trying to determine whether the other party was a human or a ghost.

Not only him, but the others couldn't help but glance in that direction out of the corner of their eyes.

It's no wonder they were curious, mainly because such 'resurrection after death' is extremely rare.

"Have you seen enough?" Gu Xia found their reaction amusing and deliberately lowered her voice, saying softly, "Would you like me to come closer so you can get a better look?"

The group replied awkwardly, "That's not necessary."

wrong?

They suddenly remembered what they had just been angry about, and their tone immediately turned cold. "Gu Xia, right? Whether you're human or ghost, let us go right now, do you hear me?"

Gu Xia: "Huh? You mean you absolutely mustn't let go of you?"

She turned to Ye Suian beside her and said, "Did you hear that, Third Senior Brother? You still haven't satisfied his demands? Hurry up and tie it tighter."

Ye Suian smiled slightly, "Okay."

The person who spoke: "..."

Hemp egg!

It's already tight enough. I don't even know what this lousy rope is made of. If it's any tighter, it'll break his hand!

"What exactly are you planning to do?"

He coldly changed the subject.

Since they were kidnapped, there must be some ulterior motive.

Gu Xia smiled slightly, "I just overheard you saying that you wouldn't leave unless we give you a reasonable explanation?"

"What a coincidence."

She laughed. "We never intended to let you go anyway."

"???"

Upon hearing this, the group was initially incredulous, then flew into a rage, "How dare you!"

“If you capture us, the patriarch and the others will never let you off easily.”

Gu Xia: "That's even more of a coincidence."

She clapped her hands with a grin, "Actually, I didn't intend to let them go either."

Everyone looked horrified: "???"

Damn it?

Did they encounter a psychopath?

Most people would readily back down after hearing their threats, but Gu Xia actually had the audacity to say that he had no intention of letting go of the families behind them.

"Ha." Some people didn't believe it. "Stubborn to the end."

Gu Xia didn't care about their attitude and turned to ask the Ye family head, "Have the messages been sent out?"

The head of the Ye family smiled and said, "Of course."

"Based on my understanding of them, they're probably already on their way."

The man who had been gagged finally spat out the rag from his mouth and glared at him angrily, "What kind of skills does this brat have that you're willing to help her scam other people?"

If that's an ability, then Gu Xia's ability is truly extraordinary.

The head of the Ye family kindly answered their questions.

"Haven't you realized who the recent tribulation lightning was actually for?"
