Junior sister took first place again

Ning Jiasheng lay quietly in the center of the thunder tribulation. His body was broken and all the blood had been drained. Only a charred and unrecognizable beast body remained.

The master's innate sword intent allowed her to regain a little consciousness. Ning Jiasheng opened her eyes with difficulty and looked at the thunder and lightning raging around her. A feeling of despair surged in her heart.

Each lightning bolt was like a sharp blade, mercilessly striking her, causing her body to tremble. She could clearly feel her life force draining away bit by bit until the flame of life was finally extinguished.

Even with the protection of her master's power, her body could no longer withstand any more blows, and every lightning strike seemed to tear her soul apart.

Her consciousness gradually became blurred, and at this last moment, memories of the time travel emerged in Ning Jiasheng's mind.

She thought back to when she first came into this world. Back then, she was carefree and full of curiosity about everything.

Living in the number one immortal palace in Zhongzhou, with her master being the number one sword immortal, the days in Xuanling Sect and traveling down the mountain with her senior brother were her happiest times.

Back then, she was full of courage and determination, convinced that she could become a powerful monk. But now, she felt an unprecedented helplessness and powerlessness.

She didn't know how long she could hold on under this thunder tribulation that was like a heavenly punishment, nor did she know if she still had a chance to continue.

Ning Jiasheng smiled bitterly in her heart. Is she going to break her promise in the end?

In past and present lives, Ning Jiasheng never breaks a promise he has made.

When she first arrived, she had promised Ah Sheng that she would be filial to her master and avenge her mother. Throughout her journey, she had met many people who had helped her, and she had promised to slay her inner demons and defend peace in the Five States.

But now, just the thunder tribulation of the Nascent Soul stage is already a threshold that is difficult to cross.

Ning Jiasheng fluttered her eyes slightly, observing the sword energy swirling around her. She strained her strength to summon Chi Yan to resist. But what normally would have been accomplished with a single thought, now, because her power was too weak, Chi Yan was unable to respond to her call.

A swordsman who couldn't even summon a sword felt like he was abandoned by the whole world. Ning Jiasheng felt unprecedented loneliness and despair.

At this moment, a dazzling white light approached at a rapid speed. Ning Jiasheng watched helplessly as the thick purple lightning instantly swallowed up the ice-blue sword intent and accurately struck her body.

At that moment, Ning Jiasheng lost all perception, then closed his eyes heavily, and all signs of life stopped.

Thousands of miles away in Jizhou, Immortal Qinglian no longer cared whether he would be discovered. Anger flashed in his eyes, and with a wave of his sleeve, a crack as high as a person appeared in front of him.

"Since the Immortal Venerable has come to the Demon Realm, why don't you stay for a few more days before leaving? Otherwise, it will appear that our demon clan has no hospitality."

Before the Immortal Qinglian stepped in, a huge black sword burning with black flames was placed in front of him.

Sect Leader Dingkun stood calmly in front, his hand still in the posture of drawing the sword, looking at him with a smile and said.

The Immortal Qinglian said calmly with an expressionless face, "Dingkun, you are no match for me." The air around him had been burned by the high temperature, creating waves of air, but his clothes did not move at all.

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Ding Kun showed no sign of anger. Instead, he graciously admitted, "What the Immortal Venerable said is absolutely true. However, I was only ordered to come and intercept the Immortal Venerable for a period of time. This is not difficult to do."

An ice-blue sword flashed in his palm, and the Immortal Qinglian looked at Dingkun, his eyes becoming increasingly angry.

Ding Kun looked at the angry expression on Qinglian Immortal Venerable's face and said meaningfully again: "The Divine Venerable asked me to bring you a message. The Immortal Venerable is really becoming more and more like a 'human'."

Being in the same Tribulation Realm, Ding Kun actually lowered his status and addressed the Immortal Azure Lotus Venerable with a respectful title, "I, the Immortal Venerable, look forward to the day when we meet again."

"I have been waiting for a long time." The Immortal Qinglian also rarely used a self-proclaimed title that indicated his identity and status.

Before he finished speaking, the two figures had already disappeared from the spot, as if the impending storm was just an illusion.

In the main hall of the Sun Palace, the image in the water mirror stopped at Ning Jiasheng's corpse. The inner demon suddenly panicked and said, "Oh, Mingyi, the person you worked so hard to find seems to have been struck to death by lightning."

"Yeah."

After a long while, the Demon King finally lost interest and responded nonchalantly, "Then why hasn't the thunder tribulation stopped yet?"

The inner demon uttered a dull "tsk," "In my opinion, death isn't far off. He's still too weak. This performance truly disappoints me."

The Demon King said coldly, "If the thunder tribulation was normal, she would have already become a newly promoted Nascent Soul cultivator. You are holding me back here, and the Immortal Azure Lotus Venerable hasn't arrived yet even though you sent people to intercept him. Isn't it just because you want to see this result now?"

The Demon King rarely has such a long conversation with his inner demon, and it can be seen that he is really angry.

The inner demon seemed to have discovered a new world and became more and more excited. "Becoming my home is not something that everyone can do."

The Demon King sneered, but the Inner Demon continued unconcerned, "You must understand that while the thunder tribulation is dangerous, the rewards for overcoming it are also generous. If you can't even overcome this small test, I would rather spend a little longer waiting."

The Demon King had no say with it and did not respond.

But the inner demon was like a chatterbox, and the water mirror suddenly changed the picture and switched to the battlefield outside the Cangwu secret realm.

The inner demon looked at the wounded Wen Xingzhou in the picture and said with interest, "Look at her senior brother. He didn't sign any contract, but he could still sense that something was wrong with his junior sister. Interesting, really interesting."

"But if we keep fighting, our true colors will be revealed."

"This isn't Youzhou, and Qinglian isn't here. If we're accidentally exposed, with so many Grandmasters nearby, it's going to be a disaster."

"The demon race is the demon race, even with their half-demon bloodline activated. No matter how gentle they pretend to be, if they get angry, they'll just be bloodthirsty beasts. How different are they from the demon race..."

The Demon King finally lost his patience and interrupted the inner demon, "Why are you talking so much nonsense now that you've woken up? Are you under her influence?"

The inner demon subconsciously shouted angrily: "How dare you!"

But no one spoke again after that, and the huge water mirror in the air disappeared in an instant, and the silence that had lasted for hundreds of years returned to the hall.

The inner demon thought quietly about what Ming Yi had just said, and then sneered in his heart: How could he be influenced by a lowly half-demon? He was just forced to sleep for hundreds of years, and was still locked up when he woke up, and felt the emotion called loneliness again.
