C267 A Bolt out of the Blue
If it wasn't for the loud noise outside the Qi Gathering Hall, Lin Xuan wouldn't have known that he had attracted the lightning tribulation. This really gave him a scare!
Fortunately, the lightning tribulation had finally dissipated, allowing Lin Xuan to temporarily relax and continue his cultivation in peace.
"How can I not be able to withstand the path that all my predecessors have walked?"
This was the reason why Lin Xuan could quickly calm down. Since there was someone who could survive the lightning tribulation, he, Lin Xuan, could do the same!
Rather than saying that this was a punishment from the heavens, it would be more accurate to say that this was a tempering for the seeds of geniuses. Only those with extreme talent could attract the lightning tribulation below the Venerable Stage.
Although this kind of thing was rare, it wasn't like it didn't exist.
"I've seen all kinds of storms and waves along my way here. Only when one is strong enough can one truly be strong. " As long as I'm strong enough, even if it's heavenly tribulation, it's nothing at all! "
Under such psychological hints, Lin Xuan's mind became more and more peaceful for the next few days. He no longer worried about anything and completely calmed down!
His cultivation base advanced at lightning speed, like a flying sword!
The outside world had also not been able to calm down. All kinds of rumors and rumors were flying all over the place. Some people said that the person who was in seclusion at the Seventh Peak did not show any surprise when he received the news. Instead, he confidently told the people around him that he wanted to defeat Lin Xuan in the Great Sect Competition and achieve his supreme reputation!
As the days passed, the smell of gunpowder hidden under the shadows became stronger and stronger. Undercurrents were surging, and many people who didn't have good intentions were interfering!
Back then, Lin Xuan had killed Soong Tiancheng. Now, the people of the Soong family had come to the Weeping Blood Sect, and they wanted to punish Lin Xuan for what he had done!
However, they were blocked by the sect. Elder Luo had personally come forward to protect Lin Xuan!
This had left the Soong family at a loss for what to do. They no longer had the arrogance they had when they came here!
Originally, the Soong family was one of the top families in the Qingzhou. They had thousands of years of history, and their foundation was unimaginable!
Normally, even the Weeping Blood Sect had to give them some face.
However, this time, their target wasn't an ordinary person, but Lin Xuan, who had great potential. Naturally, they would be obstructed.
With a legendary figure like Elder Luo appearing, it basically represented the attitude of the Weeping Blood Sect.
The Soong family would definitely not be able to do it by force.
Therefore, they could only do it by force.
They had entered the Seventh Peak and met with Shen Qingfeng. No one knew what they had talked about, but anyone with discerning eyes could tell that the Soong family was going to use someone else to kill them!
"Alright. Since the Weeping Blood Sect has stopped us, we, the Soong family, will not personally step forward. We will fully support Shen Qingfeng. The competition between the two sects is unavoidable. We will definitely determine who is stronger!"
Their goal was to kill Shen Qingfeng!
However, right after that, the Soong family had once again found numerous outstanding geniuses on the sect's ranking list and announced a sky-high reward. Whoever could kill Lin Xuan in the sect competition would get three million Spirit Stones!
"What's going on? Didn't the Soong family already look for Shen Qingfeng? Why did they look for someone else and put out such a reward? Isn't this a superfluous action? "
That's right. Shen Qingfeng represents the ultimate strength of the outer circle. Those who can stand shoulder to shoulder with him have already entered the inner circle. I don't understand what the Soong family is trying to do! "
Many people voiced their doubts. At the same time, a message came from the seventh summit. It turned out that Shen Qingfeng hadn't agreed to the Soong family's request!
At this moment, all the disciples in the sect were confused.
Didn't Lin Xuan and Shen Qingfeng have already shed all pretenses of cordiality and were about to engage in a life-and-death battle? Why would they reject such an offer?
"I think it's the elders of the sect who have come forward. They don't want any of the two geniuses to die. I'm afraid there won't be a real life and death battle during the competition. There will be elders supervising the battle!"
In the end, there were still some smart people in the sect. It was as if they had seen through the attitude and thoughts of the sect.2
"However, even if there's no real life and death battles, this battle will definitely be very exciting. Furthermore, the time is really not far. There's only a little more than a month left!"
"Hehe, the second 12th day is about to arrive. I wonder if Lin Xuan will be able to create another miracle this time!"
"Lin Xuan is really something to look forward to!"
Just like the discussions in the sect, there were less than three days left until the second 12th day.
Many eyes once again turned towards Qi Gathering Hall, waiting silently. Many people were extremely excited, hoping to witness that kind of miracle once again!
Two days passed by slowly. On the third day, a lot of people gathered in front of the Qi Gathering Hall as usual. They were all disciples of the sect who had come here to wait for the first news, and they were all looking forward to it.
This day had been very long, and it was unusually calm. In the depths of the Qi Gathering Hall, it was as quiet as the night, and there was no sound at all.
This made the people guarding outside the door of the Qi Gathering Hall feel that something was wrong for some reason.
"What's wrong? Why hasn't there been any movement? Could it be that Lin Xuan's path of heaven defying has come to an end?"
"That's right. Today is going to end. Is Lin Xuan going to lose?"
"Wait a little longer. Maybe I'm too anxious and sensitive!"
All the disciples had complicated expressions on their faces as they stared at the depths of Qi Gathering Hall.
They waited for another few hours. However, it was too quiet today. Many of them held their breaths, afraid that they would miss out on some unusual activity!
The evening sky was dim. The originally blazing and bright sun had already fallen, and a bright moon slowly rose.
Day and night passed. This night, many people did not even leave. They had been waiting all this time.
However, there was still no movement at all!
"Oh, it seems like it was just an accident last time. Lin Xuan can't possibly create another miracle. "Everyone, disperse!"
"Let's go. The commotion that we are waiting for won't happen. It has really blinded my expectations for him. He is too disappointing!"
"That's right. It seems like some people have guessed correctly. Lin Xuan was only hiding his true strength before this. This time, he has revealed his true strength. He doesn't have the ability to defy the heavens anymore!"
The crowd became lively once again. The sun rose from the east, and the blue sky was clear for thousands of miles.
Under the blue sky, white clouds floated and cranes flew. It was a natural and lively scene.
This was the thirteenth day. Even the elders who had come to wait here sighed and turned their heads. They had already wasted a lot of time here and were about to leave.
Elder Luo's expression was slightly regretful, but also somewhat relieved. "That type of magnificent feat was originally a coincidence. One has to understand how many geniuses like this have existed since ancient times?"
"I've searched the entire Human Clan's ancient history, but I really can't find too many."
He also turned around and took a light step forward. Like a rainbow, he was about to step into the sky and leave.
"Boom!"
However, in the blink of an eye, a deafening thunder suddenly appeared in the sky above the clear blue sky. It was rumbling!
An enormous tree stump like lightning appeared in the sky. It was as if a bolt of lightning had struck the sky. A destructive aura quickly spread and gathered, causing the hearts of everyone present to be greatly shaken!
