Wo-woong!

Numerous gazes suddenly turned in this direction.

Among them, the most noticeable is the Administrator of Thunder Spirit Island.

It's the gaze sent by the clone of Wi Ryeong-seon.

Wo-woong!

As Wi Ryeong-seon's clone focuses its spell and concentrates its gaze above, the sky suddenly starts to tint with a faint green hue.

I do not hide and directly meet Wi Ryeong-seon's gaze.

Kugugugu!

The sky suddenly vibrates and along with the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy, the voice of Wi Ryeong-seon resonates.

[Golden Divine Heavenly Thunder Sect's Elder Jin Eun-hyun, can you tell me what just happened?]

Wi Ryeong-seon's will is heard from the sky.

I shamelessly respond with a thick face.

"I was practicing a cultivation method, but for what reason does the Administrator of Thunder Spirit Island take interest in me, a mere Nascent Soul stage Elder?"

[The aura of Heavenly Tribulation was sensed, making me wonder if someone was attempting a breakthrough in their cultivation level. If Elder Jin rises in cultivation again, this time to become a Heavenly Being stage Grand Elder, it would be necessary to congratulate you once more]

"Hahaha, I'm grateful for your kind view."

[However, the energy I felt just now was indeed very similar to that of Heavenly Tribulation. Is it really just a phenomenon that occurred during the practice of a cultivation method? To my knowledge, only the Heart Tribe can induce energy similar to a Heavenly Tribulation during their practice.]

"That is a misunderstanding. Our Golden Divine Heavenly Thunder Sect studies and delves into understanding and controlling lightning and thunder, mainly focusing on Heavenly Tribulation. Perhaps the result similar to a Heavenly Tribulation was just a coincidence while delving into the Lightning Path Method?"

[Really, it was just the Lightning Path Method that gave such a similar feeling to a Heavenly Tribulation?]

"Hmm, is it that strange to try to manifest the power of heavenly lightning through the Lightning Path Method?"

It's then that a hint of suspicion lingers in Wi Ryeong-seon's gaze.

Kururung!

The sky roars with golden lightning, and Jin Byuk-ho flies up to the sky towards Wi Ryeong-seon's gaze and shouts.

"Greetings to the Administrator. But, what is the Administrator doing right now?"

[I was observing the movements of Elder Jin Eun-hyun of your sect.]

"Did Elder Jin do something wrong? Did he learn some vicious devilish arts that are forbidden in Thunder Spirit Island?"

[That is not the case]

"Then why is the Administrator peering into the Golden Divine Heavenly Thunder Sect's internal affairs and digging into the secrets of our sect's Lightning Path Method without restraint?"

Jin Byuk-ho's words seem to make Wi Ryeong-seon hesitate for a moment.

Regardless of the reason, Wi Ryeong-seon is clearly scrutinizing the interior of the Golden Divine Heavenly Thunder Sect, as well as practically interrogating one of the elders about his cultivation method.

"Our Elder Jin Eun-hyun's method is peculiar even compared to other methods of the Golden Divine Heavenly Thunder Sect, which might have given you an unusual feeling. This matter is a secret of our sect, so please withdraw."

[I understand. I was overreacting.]

After finishing his words, Wi Ryeong-seon withdraws his spell. The sky, which had been filled with Wi Ryeong-seon's gaze, once again returns to its original color as his will dissipates and the sky that had been dyed green is restored.

Jin Byuk-ho, who had stood in the sky blocking the will of Wi Ryeong-seon, comes down to where I am.

"Are you alright, Jin Eun-hyun? No, no, rather than that"

Kugugugu!

As Jin Byuk-ho clenches his fist, thunderclouds form in the sky, blocking observation from beyond the sky.

A prohibition is set up, preventing the surrounding Heaven and Earth spiritual energy from being monitored.

"I felt a powerful force of Heavenly Tribulation. It's clear you should have lost all attributes of the Lightning Path Method due to the Extinguishing Divine Tribulating Heavens Technique!"

"Ah"

Not knowing exactly how to explain, I pause for a moment before attempting an explanation.

"I was trying a few things to revive the attributes of the Lightning Path Method and coincidentally managed to manifest the power of heavenly lightning."

"What?!"

Jin Byuk-ho's eyes widen at my words.

"Is that even possible!?"

"Well it just happened."

"Heh, huh Hahaha."

He stands dumbfounded for a moment before beginning to laugh heartily.

"It wasn't that the founding ancestor chose you because you have a Lightning Sacred Body, but rather, he gave his arrangement because it was you."

I'm outside the territory of the Golden Divine Heavenly Thunder Sect.

"When will she arrive?"

A few days ago, Hon Wei contacted me to meet alone, and according to her message, I have been waiting here for a while.

'Today might be the day to have a decisive discussion with her.'

She also seemed to plan to make me her slave through a decisive meeting, making today the day of a final confrontation.

After a while, Hon Wei appears in the distance, flying towards me with her Flying Escape Technique, and lands in front of me.

"It's been a while. So, have you still not changed your mind?"

She asks, feigning a hearty laugh and crossing her arms.

I smile wryly and reply.

"I apologize, but no matter what you say, I am content with my current state."

"Hmm"

"If you want all the spirit stones you've given me so far, I will return them. It would be good if Cultivator Hon could gradually let go of her intentions."

"There's no need to return them. They were given for you to use. But really, you won't marry me?"

"Yes."

"Not even a dual cultivation partnership?"

"That's right."

"Hmm Do I lack appeal as a woman?"

"Cultivator Hon is beautiful. However"

That's when I notice,

She is secretly forming hand seals behind her back.

"Enough. Let's end this. Even if you don't accept my love, you're just..."

The next moment.

She smirks and completes her hand seals.

"Making me seem like a villain by forcing you into submission."

With that, Hon Wei shouts while still forming her hand seals.

"Abandoning Mountain Formation, activate!"

""

""

""

And nothing happens.

"Uh...? Why isn't it activating?"

Seeing her confused, I smirk.

"You planned to use the activation of the formation as a signal to shoot a tranquilizing dart from afar, but it seems you're flustered because it got tangled up from the start."

Hearing that, her face stiffens.

"You how did you...!"

She emits killing intent.

"I don't know how you found out, but you're making things difficult."

"Making things difficult? I don't think so"

"What Huh!"

The next moment, against her will, she raises one arm and sends a signal to someone far away preparing the tranquilizing dart, a gesture that means 'wait a moment' among the signals exchanged with her servant.

"What is this! What have you done to me"

She rolls her feet, raising dirt walls in all directions.

Instantly, a house made of her spiritual energy surrounds us.

"Now, shall we have a more comfortable conversation?"

"You."

At the same time, the confident smile vanishes from Hon Wei's face, leaving only a chilly expression.

"What have you done to me?"
