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

at the same time.

The cultivators who were still anxiously waiting had not received any news from the people they had sent out, and they gradually began to realize that something was wrong.

"How's it going? Still no news at all?"

The Xie family head's expression darkened slightly as he asked the elder beside him, who had also been paying close attention to the matter.

The other person also seemed a little impatient, but still replied respectfully, "Indeed, no."

They themselves thought it was truly unbelievable.

The tribulation had clearly subsided, but not only had they not heard from the people sent to the Ye family, they also couldn't contact them at all.

It's like disappearing into thin air.

However, given their understanding of the other companies, they would certainly not let this opportunity to investigate pass by, and would inevitably send people there as well.

Surely it couldn't be that the Ye family arrested them?

Where did they get the audacity to detain so many people at once?

What? Did it suddenly realize its mistake after being struck by lightning and decide to become an enemy of the whole world?

He muttered to himself, but dared not be careless, and could only say, "Let me try again."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Xie family head standing in front suddenly said, "No need."

The elder looked up in surprise and saw the other person standing with his hands behind his back, gazing in the direction of the Ye family in the distance.

"The absence of news has already conveyed enough information to us."

“Don’t forget, that person who has undergone tribulation…” he said meaningfully, “should be in the Ye family right now.”

If it is really as he thinks, then sending more people will be of no use, as they will not be able to find out any useful information.

Just kidding. Once the tribulation is over, those people won't even be able to send back a message. They'll be lucky if they can even struggle a little.

Getting arrested is quite normal.

The Xie family elder instantly understood his meaning, and frowned: "But..."

Who is the kind person who, upon passing through tribulation, wiped out all the people lingering outside trying to gather information?

This seems really strange no matter how you look at it.

The Xie family head remained calm. "It's alright. They should be fine. Now that we've arrested them, let's wait and see what they're up to."

Although it is unclear who this old monster who has undergone tribulation is, he is definitely inextricably linked to the Ye family.

Yes, the old monster who has undergone tribulation.

After all, in their view, someone who could cultivate to such a level must be an unfathomable and powerful being.

Because in the cultivation world, there has only been one person who has transcended the tribulation so far, and that is Fang Jinxing, the sect master of Taiyi Sect.

The sudden appearance of this second person made them start speculating about conspiracy theories without even thinking.

Could it be someone who knew the Ye family before, and who deliberately appeared there after realizing that the Ye family was in trouble?

As for the possibility that the person undergoing the tribulation might be from the Ye family, that possibility was too terrifying, and they ruled it out without even thinking about it.

After all, they've been fighting each other for years, so everyone has a pretty good idea of ​​each other's strength. How could that bunch of useless talisman cultivators from the Ye family possibly produce a Tribulation Transcending cultivator?

Do not make jokes.

Unless the Ye family's ascended ancestor stands before them again, it's unlikely.

As it turns out, the Ye family head had a very accurate grasp of the psychology of the other old scoundrels.

They didn't know who was undergoing the tribulation, but the tribulation had occurred within the Ye family. This contradiction led them to make the same choice without prior agreement.

That means sending someone to gather information.

Then Gu Xia and Ye Suian wiped them out in one fell swoop.

None of them escaped.

Therefore, even if they racked their brains, they would never guess that the old monster they thought was undergoing tribulation was actually Gu Xia.

Although the patriarch's words made sense, the Xie family elders felt inexplicably displeased.

They were used to being superior, and this was the first time they had encountered someone who acted so unpredictably.

This made him feel like they had been provoked.

However, the next second, something even more provocative happened.

The message from the Ye family head was sent to everyone almost simultaneously.

"Do you want to know how the people sent here are doing? Do you want to know who that person undergoing tribulation is?"

"Within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, come to the Ye family immediately to discuss matters of life and death. We will not wait for those who are late."

The tone can be as provocative and arrogant as you want it to be.

Everyone who received the message on the jade slip simultaneously: "..."

Oh shit.

For some reason, from just these few words, they were able to glimpse the smug and petty face of that old scoundrel.

They even discussed matters of life and death?

What could possibly warrant such a great deal of effort from him?

Upon receiving the news, everyone initially scoffed and wanted to firmly say "no" to the Ye family head. However, as if possessed, they all set off for the Ye family.

The mouth is too upright.

*

the other side.

The Ye family head led a few people to another place to discuss matters. Gu Xia and the others didn't care much about it, since it wasn't her house that was blown up. Well, no, it really was Ye Suian's house that was blown up.

She silently sympathized with her third senior brother for a second.

The people bound in front of them were still in a state of great shock.

His eyes were wide open and his mouth was agape, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

"Wait, what do you mean by that?"

The man, who had just managed to get rid of the tattered rag, asked urgently, his gaze falling on Gu Xia, "You mean... the tribulation lightning was for her?"

Don't be ridiculous, if that were really the case, this would be a horror story.

The head of the Ye family remained noncommittal.

Strictly speaking, the lightning was brought by that brat Ye Suian, but Gu Xia just happened to arrive at the right moment, so the two unfortunate souls couldn't escape the fate of being struck by lightning.

However, Gu Xia was also implicated by Ye Suian. In fact, she could have been struck by lightning later.

It can only be said that the tribulation came at the right time rather than early. As soon as he sensed the aura of two people breaking through to the next realm, and was provoked by that great demon, he got into a little trouble in a fit of anger, so it just so happened that they all came on the same day.

Gu Xia: "..."

It’s so outrageous.

It was only then that the person who asked the question noticed that Gu Xia's aura was very well concealed. When she stood there quietly without saying a word, people would even overlook her presence.

The complete absence of any spiritual energy fluctuations suggests only two possibilities.

One reason is that Gu Xia is a useless person who has never cultivated, and the other is that her realm has long surpassed that of everyone present, which is why they could not detect her aura at all.

It's impossible for him to be considered a waste. He is the personal disciple of the Five Sects' treasures, and by any measure, he cannot be associated with the word "waste".

Then there's only the latter possibility.

Gu Xia felt a little confused by his scrutiny. She turned her head and stared at him for a few seconds before flashing a bright smile.

"..."

The man's lips began to tremble, and even his eyelids twitched uncontrollably; his face was filled with terror.

He wanted to point at Gu Xia and ask her something, but with his hands tightly bound, he couldn't do such a difficult move, so he impulsively stuck out one foot.

"You, you, you—" He recalled how they had tried to escape but were pinned down by a powerful force and could not move, and were finally bound hand and foot by Ye Suian. He finally connected all the dots.

"So that person is you!!" he yelled like a screaming chicken.

Ye Suian was jolted awake by his sudden tenor voice, and instinctively pulled out a rag and stuffed it into the other man's mouth. "You'd better shut up."

"Uh huh!!!"

You fucking—

The man's remaining words were stuck in his throat; he was nearly driven to the brink of fainting by the man's rude behavior.

Ugh, that brat Ye Suian!

Nevertheless, Gu Xia understood his implied meaning and immediately smiled.

"Congratulations, you got it."

Several people:"……"

Congratulations my ass!

What is a horror story? This is it, okay?!

They weren't stupid; they almost simultaneously realized the meaning behind the two's conversation, and after their minds processed it, they were all stunned.

So the person who held them down and prevented them from moving was Gu Xia?

what does this mean?

This means that the one they've been desperately trying to find out about—the one undergoing tribulation—is her! And she's the one who, according to legend, should have died long ago!!

As a result, not only did the person not die, but he also transformed into someone they could no longer reach.

What the heck is this? They wouldn't even dare to dream of something this big in their sleep, and yet this has happened so naturally?

Despite their reluctance to believe it, the facts are now right in front of them.

Is it the living Gu Xia, or the Gu Xia who has already become a powerful being who has transcended tribulation?

Recalling their earlier threats and shouts, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Q: Is it too late to take back what you just said?

But that's not the main point. The main point is—

Damn it, something's fishy!

Your Excellency, please don't fall for this trick!
