Chapter 14: Thunder Tribulation! Shock at the Bureau of the Supernatural!
It wasn’t just at the base of Longhu Mountain. At that moment, the closest Bureau of the Supernatural to Jiangbei City was abuzz. Its full name was the Jiangbei Bureau of the Supernatural Affairs and Investigation. As an official organisation dealing with the supernatural, its members possessed supernatural powers. Even though it was deep into the night, many people were still busy at work.
Drip, drip, drip...
Suddenly, a red alarm blared from the central screen of the Bureau of the Supernatural. As soon as the sound rang out, the expressions of everyone inside the bureau changed drastically. A middle-aged man hurriedly walked out. He was the deputy captain of the Jiangbei Bureau of the Supernatural, named Xu Ming.
Upon seeing him, the others immediately addressed him, “Deputy Captain.”
Xu Ming nodded slightly and asked, “What’s going on? Where did the alarm come from?” His expression was very grave.
This alarm was the latest detection method developed within the Bureau of the Supernatural. It only sounded when there was an exceptionally high level of abnormal activity. Moreover, it weakened with distance. But even if it went off within the city, it meant a high-level supernatural event was undoubtedly taking place. In front of the central screen, two data analysts were continuously typing away at their keyboards.
“Deputy Captain! The source of this signal reception seems quite distant, and we’re currently tracking it down.”
“Hmm?” Upon hearing this, Xu Ming’s expression changed.
“How far has the search gone now?”
If it extended beyond fifty kilometres and could still trigger such a disturbance, it would be something he might struggle to handle. He would need to request backup. As these two sentences were spoken, more people gathered around. The data analysts had a slight sweat on their foreheads, looking visibly nervous.
“Deputy Captain, what’s going on? Why is there such a strong demonic aura on the mountain? And this thundercloud...” Ma Qingshuang was puzzled.
Xu Ming fell silent for a few seconds and then spoke, “According to legend, when a powerful demon undergoes a breakthrough, it can attract a heavenly thunder tribulation.”
“This dense demonic aura here should be caused by a great demon undergoing tribulation.”
“A great demon undergoing tribulation?” When they heard this, everyone was startled. Being referred to as a great demon was an extraordinary status, and there were few in the entire cultivation world.
Ma Qingshuang furrowed her brow, “But according to what our family elders say, there should only be one Celestial Master at Longhu Mountain... How could there be a great demon undergoing tribulation?”
“Could it be...” Ma Qingshuang had a dreadful guess, “The Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain is a great demon!?”
Xu Ming shook his head, “It’s still unclear. Let’s see how things develop.”
On the back mountains of Longhu Mountain, as the dark clouds gathered more and more, the thunder became increasingly terrifying. The whole world felt heavy as if brewing a great calamity. Zhang Beixuan watched the flickering lightning in the sky and couldn’t help but click his tongue in amazement. The power of this thunder was overwhelming.
It was no wonder Tushan Xue had said that crossing the heavenly tribulation as a Heavenly Fox was a life-or-death situation. Under this kind of thunder, even if Tushan Xue were ten times stronger, it would be useless. This was the will of the heavens, beyond mortal control. In mid-air, Tushan Xue’s aura completely erupted.
Boom!
Finally, the first thunder tribulation exploded, causing Longhu Mountain to tremble slightly. At this moment, a pitch-black golden brush appeared in Zhang Beixuan’s hand. He unfolded a piece of talisman paper and waved the brush.
“One scroll to the heavens, announcing to the heavenly court, and echoing in the underworld!”
