Chapter 497: Sister, That Old Man is So Noisy
If this Sky Concealing Water is fake, and I have already broken through to the Heavenly Punishment Realm, what if I attract a lightning tribulation?
Qi Huang immediately realized that the situation was not good. Her breathing began to quicken, and her body trembled more and more violently, but this time it was entirely out of fear.
Qi Huang didn’t know why the Sky Concealing Water in the secret compartment was fake, and she didn’t have the energy to investigate it now. Her mind was filled with the desire to survive.
Qi Huang released Mimi, then handed her the storage ring, and briefly instructed: “If I don’t come back, you find some helpers and use the man in the storage ring to exchange for your sister. Remember not to contact the Donglai Sect alone.”
Without waiting for Mimi’s reaction, Qi Huang immediately broke through the window and flew towards the outside of the town. Her violent spiritual sense compressed the surrounding air, creating visible distortions.
In just a few dozen breaths, Qi Huang appeared outside the hundred li range, her speed countless times faster than before.
Qi Huang landed in a basin, then looked up and stared intently at the sky. Her spiritual sense emerged from her body without reservation, forming a visible, semi-transparent shield around her.
Because the Yin energy was heavy, the sky was dim and overcast, with layers upon layers of black clouds piled up, indescribably thick, pressing down on her like mountains, making it hard to breathe. She couldn’t tell if there were tribulation clouds among them or not.
Sweat gradually appeared on Qi Huang’s fair forehead. She didn’t know if it was psychological, but she always felt a faint sense of oppression, like the heavenly might she encountered when she was chosen as an imperial concubine.
Qi Huang’s breathing gradually quickened, and the sound of her heart beating made her ears ring. Her eyes became dizzy from the surging blood.
Time passed slowly. Qi Huang found that although the sky above was still dark and lightless, she didn’t hear any thunder.
“No thunder, which means no lightning tribulation. Did I not attract the Heavenly Punishment?”
Qi Huang couldn’t help but speculate. Her taut nerves began to relax, and the oppression in her heart receded like a tide.
“So it was just psychological!”
Qi Huang let out a long sigh of relief, her legs went weak, and she collapsed onto the ground.
“Hahaha…”
Qi Huang recovered slightly, then began to laugh uncontrollably. It was clearly an outburst of relief after surviving a disaster.
“Ye Donglai, oh Ye Donglai! I really have to thank you! You’ve helped me a lot this time, letting me know that my promotion won’t trigger a heavenly tribulation!”
Qi Huang shouted through her tears, because understanding this was extremely important to her. It not only meant that she could improve her strength without worry in the future but also that even if she reached the Immortal Realm, she wouldn’t have to ascend passively. She could choose to stay in the Cultivation World and act arrogantly.
Qi Huang’s heart gradually calmed down. She hadn’t forgotten the main business, so she decided to go back and settle accounts with that old man Ye Donglai. However, before that, she had to figure out what her current strength had reached.
Qi Huang released her spiritual sense, which transformed into a giant hand covering the sky and the sun. She grabbed a nearby mountain peak and pulled it up with force.
“Creak! Creak!”
With the sound of tree roots breaking, the mountain peak, hundreds of Zhang tall, was pulled up like pulling a radish and slowly floated into the air. Countless rocks and soil rained down like a downpour. Flying beasts and crawling creatures were startled and fled in all directions, while lonely ghosts curled up on the ground, not daring to move at all.
“So strong! So strong! Sob, sob, is this the Heavenly Punishment Realm?”
Qi Huang was overjoyed and wept. She felt that her near-death experiences over the past few years were worth it. This feeling of being able to destroy the world with a mere gesture was enough to die without regret, just for a moment.
Qi Huang wiped away her tears, then retracted her spiritual sense. The mountain peak, hundreds of Zhang high, plummeted straight down and crashed into the embrace of the earth without any cushioning.
“Rumble!”
The earth shook violently. Fierce winds swept outwards from the crater, uprooting towering trees. This was followed by flying sand and stones, making the sky dark and lightless, as if the end of the world had arrived.
Qi Huang smiled with satisfaction, then turned and flew towards the town where she had been staying.
A moment later, Qi Huang arrived in the town and entered the guest room she had been staying in through the window.
“Sister, where did you go? Mimi was so scared by herself! My sister is already gone, I don’t want to lose you again.”
Mimi rushed up, sobbing. Because she had been cared for by Qi Huang for a long time before transforming into human form, she had already regarded Qi Huang as family.
“Don’t be scared, don’t be scared! Didn’t I come back?”
Qi Huang quickly hugged Mimi to comfort her.
“Sister, why are you crying?”
Mimi noticed the tear marks on Qi Huang’s face and reached out to wipe them.
“It’s nothing, just got some sand in my eyes.”
Qi Huang said lightly. In fact, she had just walked through the gates of hell.
“Rascal, I know you’re monitoring my room. I advise you to return my things. Otherwise, when I catch you, I will cut off your hand and hang it at the entrance of the Donglai Sect as a public display. Then I will make you eat it yourself once it starts festering.”
At this moment, Ye Donglai’s curses sounded out of time.
Qi Huang turned and saw that the Recording Mirror was still monitoring Ye Donglai’s room. The guy was still cursing uncontrollably, and like her, there were still tear marks on his old face, indicating he was extremely angry.
Strange, how does this old guy know I’m monitoring him?
Qi Huang frowned slightly.
You must be wondering how I know you’re monitoring, right? It’s because I’ve only mentioned the matter of the Sky Concealing Water in this room in recent years. Cheng Kang definitely wouldn’t tell anyone outside. If you weren’t monitoring me in a special way, how could you know about its existence?
Ye Donglai “enthusiastically” answered immediately, but it was more like he was showing off his intelligence.
So that’s how it is!
Qi Huang suddenly understood.
I advise you to return my treasures quickly. Don’t think you can escape. If my guess is correct, you must be the one who wrote me the letter, right? You wrote to me first, and then my treasures were stolen. Your main target must have been that Sky Concealing Water, right? You wrote to me to confirm the location of the Sky Concealing Water, and my disciple was also captured by you, with the intention of luring the tiger away from the mountain, right?
Ye Donglai continued to flaunt his intelligence.
This old guy is really shrewd!
A fine layer of sweat reappeared on Qi Huang’s forehead. If her strength hadn’t increased greatly now, she would have been scared and run away.
Unfortunately, I was still too careless, allowing you to steal a few treasures. I’m really curious how you managed to escape the divine sense scan! Fortunately, I suspected someone was monitoring this room from the beginning, so I put a bottle of fake Sky Concealing Water in it, and only then did you not succeed as you wished.
Ye Donglai’s old face showed a ferocious smile.
However, you won’t be able to take away any of my things. Once I go to the post station to confirm who wrote me the letter, you will be unable to escape even with wings.
Ye Donglai gritted his teeth. Although the Sky Concealing Water was saved, he also lost several precious treasures. This was a matter of dignity. How could the Grand Elder of the dignified Donglai Sect be robbed in his own home? If this got out, how could he establish himself in the Cultivation World in the future?
Sister, this old man is so annoying!
Mimi said timidly from the side.
He is indeed quite noisy. Shall we go and shut his dog mouth now?
Qi Huang said with a doting smile.
Okay!
Mimi replied foolishly.
Qi Huang immediately took a pill to stimulate her vocal cords and swallowed it. When her voice became hoarse, she took Mimi out of the inn and headed directly towards the Donglai Sect. This time, she wanted to let that old man Ye Donglai know what a Mighty Expert of the Heavenly Punishment Realm was!
