Chapter 1169 Xuanyu 25
Tan You smiled without showing any sign of being threatened: "Threatening me? Many people have said similar things to me, but I'm still alive and well."
Mingyuan stepped forward: "Xin Zhao, you dissected my son's sword bone and shattered my son Mingqi's dantian. We have now retrieved the sword bone, so we consider this the first grudge to be settled. However, you intend to cut off my son's path of cultivation. This matter cannot be settled so easily."
Yao Yao curled her lip: "Why waste words? Just kill him and be done with it."
Mo Yi patted Yao Yao's head: "I even took you to the Buddhist sect. Did you just listen to all that Buddhist teachings for nothing? How can you be so murderous?"
Yao Yao leaned back to avoid Mo Yi's hand and jumped up in protest: "Elder, you can't keep patting my head like that. I'll stunt my growth and then it'll all be your fault."
“He is an enemy, and one should naturally sweep away the fallen leaves like autumn wind when dealing with an enemy,” Yao Yao clenched her fist. “I only regret that my cultivation level is too low, otherwise I would have made him understand why the flowers are so red.”
Mo Jiu took a sip of wine: "Little Yao Yao, being straightforward is fine, but we should try to be polite first, right?"
Yao Yao frowned slightly: "Fine, humans are such a hassle."
Mingyuan had already explained the whole story clearly, and the Xin family members who had rushed over all lowered their heads. The law of the jungle was the way of the cultivation world, but the premise was that everything had to be cleaned up.
Now that enemies have come knocking, those who benefited are no longer able to stand firm. Take the Xin family, for example, especially the Xin Zhao lineage. In the past, because of Xin Zhao, his lineage was incredibly prestigious within the clan.
With the birth of Xin Sheng, who is "born with sword bones," the Xin Zhao lineage has been thriving recently.
Now that Xin Zhao is being targeted for revenge, the Xin family members are starting to have their own agendas. Once Xin Zhao is gone, the resources that the family has been pouring into his lineage will be largely withdrawn…
This means other branches can also compete for resources, which is a good thing!
Xin Zhao was, after all, a powerful cultivator at the Integration Stage. Now that Ming Qi and the others had come to his door in person, he knew he was doomed. But defeat without a fight was not his style; even if he died, he would not die a pathetic death!
Both Mo Yi and Mo Jiu were a level higher than Xin Zhao. Without Mo Yi even lifting a finger, Mo Jiu, Ming Qi's ancestor, had already severely injured Xin Zhao. Yao Yao was impatient; she pulled Ming Qi towards the arena, she was anxious.
Mingqi is currently stuck at the late Nascent Soul stage and unable to advance, isn't it all because of this grudge? Once the grudge is settled, Mingqi will be able to advance to the Divine Transformation stage, and as Mingqi's destined partner, she will definitely benefit greatly as well.
Dragging Mingqi to the center of the arena, Yaoyao seemed eager to grab Mingqi's hand and personally kill her enemy: "It's your turn!"
Mingqi was being dragged along by Yaoyao. He smiled helplessly and, upon reaching Xin Zhao, who looked like a dead dog, did not insult him. Instead, he thrust his sword into Xin Zhao's dantian.
Xin Zhao roared, "Mingqi, you brat, how dare you humiliate me like this... I... Pfft..."
He spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, his hair and beard turning white in an instant.
Yao Yao moved aside in disgust: "You dare to threaten us adults with this? You're so arrogant."
Mingqi looked down at him: "Back then, you took my sword bone and shattered my dantian, barely managing to spare my life. Now I'm retaliating in kind, and our feud is over. I was lucky enough to rebuild my dantian; whether you can rebuild yours depends on your own abilities."
Tan You slowly approached: "He has committed many atrocities over the years. Before he can rebuild his dantian, Heaven will punish him. Farewell, Fellow Daoist Xin Zhao."
As soon as he finished speaking, thunderclouds gathered above Xin Zhao's head. Ming Qi grabbed Yao Yao and pulled her far away. As for Tan You, she was still standing next to Xin Zhao, but it was as if she was standing in another dimension.
All the heavenly lightning bypassed her and struck Xin Zhao instead, quickly leaving behind a charred corpse. Jin Han wrapped her arms around Tan You's wrist: "Although I've gone through several tribulations, I still feel fear every time I see tribulation lightning."
“Under normal circumstances,” Tan You said calmly, “there is great terror between life and death. Fear is human nature. What is truly frightening is to fear nothing at all. Without a sense of fear, it is easy to lose one’s bottom line in doing things.”
Jin Han pondered Tan You's words and slowly fell into deep thought.
Tan You stood with her hands behind her back, watching the thunderclouds in the sky gradually dissipate, then looked at Ming Qi not far away: "Ming Qi, you are about to undergo your tribulation."
Mingqi said with a bitter face, "I know, Father, ancestors, let's go quickly."
He didn't want to undergo his tribulation in the territory of the Chaotian Sect; who knew if someone would try to sabotage him?
Mo Jiu stopped drinking, grabbed Ming Qi, tore open a spatial rift, and left. Mo Yi was a step too slow and could only grab Yao Yao, who was standing to the side. Tan You smiled and also tore open a spatial rift to chase after them.
Her move immediately shocked the cultivators below. Despite her low cultivation level, her spatial tearing technique was no less impressive than that of the elders, and perhaps even more stable.
The Grand Elder of the Chaotian Sect shook his head: "As expected of the most mysterious Xuanwei Merfolk in the Upper Realm."
Second Elder: "Shall we chase after them and see?"
The other elders shared the same idea; observing a cultivator undergo tribulation would also greatly benefit them. In an instant, spatial rifts appeared everywhere, and many cultivators took out their flying artifacts, all to watch how this prodigy from the Eastern Continent would overcome his Nascent Soul stage tribulation.
Mo Jiu was incredibly fast. Just as the lightning tribulation was about to strike, he grabbed Ming Qi and rushed directly to a mountain thousands of miles away from the Chaotian Sect.
Even faster than him was Tan You, who had already set up an array just as Mo Jiu arrived.
The moment Mo Yi appeared carrying Yao Yao, Yao Yao had already transformed into a streak of light and flown into the formation. She didn't need to think to know that this was Tan You's doing; as for Ming Qi, he was a sword cultivator, so getting struck by lightning a bit more would be beneficial.
Mingqi smiled wryly at Yaoyao, who was sitting cross-legged in the formation. "My lord, you can't be biased. The tribulation lightning of the Nascent Soul stage can kill people."
Tan You glanced at him, then silently expanded the array's range and strengthened its defenses. Ming Qi was finally somewhat relieved, but before he could say anything, three bolts of tribulation lightning struck down on him and Yao Yao.
Mingqi swayed, forcing back the blood. Yaoyao, on the other hand, was alright; after all, it was Mingqi's tribulation, and she was just incidentally caught up in it.
Once Yaoyao cultivates to the Nascent Soul stage, her tribulation will be even greater than Mingqi's. Now, as Mingqi's natal contract partner, she only needs to share a small portion of Mingqi's tribulation.
In short, no matter who is going to undergo the tribulation, Mingqi will bear the brunt of the burden.
The little tiger perched on Tan You's shoulder, its big eyes fixed intently on Ming Qi. Today's Ming Qi would be tomorrow's Ming Qi; naturally, it needed to observe and learn as much as possible.
