The Evil Emperor's Beloved

Jing Yueli looked at the thunderclouds in the sky, constantly forming seals with her hands and casting various defensive spells.

The man stared at Jing Yueli, an inexplicable emotion welling up in his heart, as if a similar thing had happened before, and she had also faced the thunder tribulation in the same way, and he looked at her figure like this every time.

Bolts of lightning struck down, and Jing Yueli's figure appeared and disappeared in the lightning.

She didn’t know if it was God playing a joke on her, but the thunder tribulation became more and more severe, and there was almost no good flesh on Jing Yueli’s body.

Jing Yueli thought of the robe that Mo Yunyu gave her, and immediately took it out from the space and put it on.

Under the fierce thunder tribulation, Jing Yueli gritted her teeth and persevered.

The vestments on her body shone with a strange light, protecting her from the lightning.

Everyone was watching her silently, worried for her, their eyes full of concern.

Under Jing Yueli's tenacious resistance, the thunder tribulation began to gradually weaken.

Finally, the clouds dispersed and the sky cleared, and Jing Yueli successfully advanced to the Jindan stage.

Jing Yueli collapsed to the ground exhausted.

Everyone rushed forward to support her. Si Mo Wen took out a cloak and wrapped her in it. Leng Tian Shuang stuffed all the pills for restoring spiritual power and healing injuries into her mouth.

Jing Yueli looked at the two of them with gratitude. After swallowing the pill, she regained some strength and a tired but satisfied smile appeared on her face.

She turned to look at the others, a trace of gratitude flashed in her eyes, and she opened her mouth and said, "Thank you!"

This was the first time that Jing Yueli thanked them so solemnly. Usually, they were the only ones who said thank you to Jing Yueli.

Everyone was stunned when they heard her serious "thank you", and then some shook their heads, while others waved their hands.

"Yueli, what are you talking about? You say that and it means you don't consider us as friends." Si Mowen was immediately angry and glared at Jing Yueli. If Jing Yueli wasn't weak now, she would have probably shaken her.

"Yes, Miss Jing, your thank you makes everyone feel alienated. We are all partners, right? Hehe..." Xiao Zhan pretended to be angry.

"Yes, yes, it's a bit polite for Miss Jing to say that. Hehe...hehe..." Shi Yu and several mercenaries also spoke up.

Jing Yueli listened to them talking to each other about things that made her happy, then looked at the man on the other side and smiled knowingly.

The man knew that she was thanking him.

The man shook his head. "It is my duty to protect you."

At this time, the remaining men in black saw that the thunder tribulation had passed and became restless again.

Jing Yueli put away her smile, her eyes turned cold, she looked at the remaining men in black, and said angrily, "You guys are a bunch of ignorant people, since the thunder tribulation can't scare you away, don't blame me for being merciless!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a jade flute appeared in Jing Yueli's hand. She then put it to her mouth and began to play it softly.

With her black hair flying, Jing Yueli's whole aura was different.

The melodious flute sound spread all around, and the man in black suddenly felt a splitting headache.

The man in black was horrified.

"This is... a sound attack! Be careful everyone!" the leader of the men in black shouted.

However, it was too late.

Jing Yueli's flute sound was like an invisible force, impacting their eardrums and souls. The men in black fell to the ground in pain, and the weaker ones even vomited blood and died on the spot.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the others turned around and tried to escape.

How could Jing Yueli let them go? She flashed and blocked their way.

"Want to run? Not that easy!" Jing Yueli snorted in her heart.

With a cold look in his eyes, he waved the jade flute in his hand, and several sharp sword energies shot out, instantly piercing through the body of the man in black.

Seeing the situation, the others also joined in to help Jing Yueli finish the job.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader of the men in black threw out a talisman, and the men immediately disappeared from the spot.

"He actually let him get away!" Si Moxuan said angrily as he caught up with him.

The little guy is very fierce and aggressive.

Jing Yueli withdrew her attack and looked at the jade flute in her hand. This skill was taught to her by Lian Yunchen. She didn't expect that when she reached the Jindan stage, the effect she displayed was far beyond that of the foundation building stage.

Jing Yueli curled the corners of her lips. After going through this baptism of thunder tribulation, she truly felt the difference of entering the Golden Core Stage.

Strength is indeed a good thing.

Nan Yuhong and several people who had been poisoned before also recovered after taking the pills given by Jing Yueli.

At this moment, an ethereal voice came from above his head.

"The opening time of the ancient monument is about to close." As the voice fell, a beam of light fell from above and enveloped everyone.

Jing Yueli and the others only saw a flash before their eyes, and the next moment they appeared in an open space.

"Are we coming out?"

"Yes, I think so!"

During the conversation, people in the secret realm of Firefly Lake were teleported here one after another.

They saw people from other academies, as well as people from other forces on Huanyue Island.

As for the men in black, they saw none of them.

Or maybe they have already blended into the crowd.

A burly man asked, "Hey, how come we were all teleported together?"

The others then came to their senses and realized that what the man said made sense.

After everyone stood firm, they began to look around.

"Are we...going out?"

Someone else said in a mysterious tone, "It seems that the closing time of the secret realm is approaching."

This topic was discussed immediately.

Everyone simply began to mentally count everything that had happened in the secret realm. Some had gains, some had disappointments, some had epiphanies, some had frustrations, and all kinds of emotions spread within everyone's hearts.

It was a time of many emotions.

Jing Yueli shook her head in amusement.

Jing Yueli and her friends gained a lot from this trip to the secret realm. Not only did they get a lot of precious treasures, but they also got to know Nan Yuhong, Xiao Zhan and others. Especially Jing Yueli herself, she successfully broke through to the Golden Core Stage and her strength increased greatly.

Suddenly, the ground began to shake violently, and the originally peaceful space became distorted. A huge crack appeared in front of everyone, and a strong aura came out from it.

Everyone couldn't stand steadily at all, and they all used their spiritual power to jump out of the ground.

"What's going on?" someone exclaimed.

Jing Yueli's heart tightened as she felt a powerful aura approaching.

"Everyone be careful!" Jing Yueli loudly reminded everyone around her.

At this moment, a huge suction force rushed towards everyone from the crack, instantly enveloping them, and pressure followed, covering almost the entire open space.

Everyone's face changed drastically, and they all used their magic weapons and skills to try to resist.
