Boom! Boom!
Thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, followed by a torrential downpour.
The dense forest was dense and dark, with only occasional flashes of white light, causing the surroundings to be lit up for an instant.
Yueze and I sat in the carriage, sheltering from the rain, while Yueze's guards quietly lurked in the jungle. At this moment, a deafening clap of thunder sounded out from within the forest! That was the final cry of the wandering ghost before it was annihilated by the divine lightning.
The wraiths and wraiths of this world were a soul that held an obsession when they were alive. Otherwise, they would not have forcefully skipped the underworld's reincarnation and stayed in this world. At this moment, they were implicated by me and were instantly sliced into nothingness by the heavenly lightning. There must be some unwillingness in their hearts. As such, that scream sounded especially mournful.
My heart clenched and my body trembled uncontrollably. Although Yueze was beside me, hugging my shoulder tightly and comforting me softly, I still felt my limbs and bones go cold.
It was as if he had fallen into a hole in the ice in the dead of winter, and had been mercilessly washed with a basin of snow. It was cold, it was fear, it was despair that I couldn't get rid of.
The final Heavenly Tribulation was about to arrive.
Since Xuan Yue contacted me, and he's also a guest in the Underworld, it's probably because it's the Winter Solstice today, and the heavens and the earth are celebrating the holidays. The Heaven Realm's control over the Six Realms is a little lax, which is why he was able to contact me through the Underworld.
Master told me that tonight, I would encounter a heavenly tribulation, and the remaining heavenly lightning would strike me. He told me not to leave Yan Hua no matter what, because such a severe calamity can only be protected by the chosen one.
However, I only have Yue Ze by my side. He said he would protect me.
"Lian'er, if you have to use your dragon qi to protect yourself, then I am also the Son of Heaven, and I can also protect you." Yueze's eyes flashed with determination, and he held on tightly to my shoulder. "So don't be afraid, don't go back, and stay here with me. I will definitely protect you. "
He wouldn't let me go back. He told me to wait here. I had no choice but to obey, because I couldn't take his carriage and drive it back to Cang Wu City. And now, even if I were to take a small step out of the carriage, I would be scared to death. Because it could hit me at any time.
In this way, in the midst of a loud thunderclap, I buried my head in Yueze's arms, trembling with fear. After an unknown amount of time, I finally heard an unusual horse roar from the midst of the thunder and the rain!
Someone was coming! It's coming towards our place of residence!
"Is it Bai Lin?" I stood up quickly.
Yueze patted me on the shoulder, pushed me back into the car, closed the door, and lowered the curtain.
"Stay here obediently, don't come out." After giving some instructions, he jumped off the carriage. Immediately, one of the guards stepped forward and held up a huge black umbrella.
The sound of horse hooves finally approached. Following Yue Ze's gaze, I finally saw a horse carriage appear before my eyes. The one driving the carriage was Bai Lin, she was still wearing the witch's ceremonial clothes, the wind and rain had drenched her long hair, she was gasping for breath, and appeared to be in a sorry state.
Bai Lin is fine, that's great!
I was so happy that I was about to throw the curtain aside and rush out when the carriage that Bai Lin was driving suddenly stopped! Then, the curtain was lifted and Yan Hua walked out!
"Hong!" A huge thunderclap exploded near the carriage. The horse jumped in fright and the carriage rolled to the side! Yan Hua and Bai Lin both flew up and landed on the ground, unharmed.
Bai Lin hurried back to Yue Ze's side, while Yan Hua half-squatted across from him, motionless. He held a sword in his hand. The tip of the sword was pressed against the ground, and his expression was somewhat strange. It was as if he was running all the way here, and his stamina was running out.
Looking at Yan Hua's weak appearance, I felt a little uneasy. Because he helped me withstand the heavenly tribulation, his body has already become weak. It seems that the situation isn't too good right now.
However, when I saw Yan Hua, the fear in my heart was greatly reduced. Perhaps it was because the chosen one was by his side? As long as he's here, I understand. At least when the heavenly thunder strikes, someone will help me block it.
The situation now was somewhat strange. As the ruler of a nation, how could Yan Hua have followed Bai Lin into this wilderness? If he wanted to capture Yue Ze and me, why didn't he bring any guards? If he was alone like this, no matter how powerful his magic was, wouldn't he be a little too much?
Yue Ze held his head high in front of the car as he coldly said to Yan Hua, "I didn't expect that you would really go alone."
"Since the person being invited is you, how could I possibly refuse?"
As Yan Hua spoke, he used his sword to support his body and barely managed to stand up. His voice was very cold, but his body was swaying slightly. I peeped through the gap in the curtain of the carriage and suddenly felt very worried. Yan Hua's complexion was very pale at the moment. It seemed that he was barely able to stand. Was he injured again?
Yan Hua said coldly, "Yueze, I've already made an appointment. Please let Bai Lian go."
Yueze was silent, but I couldn't make out what was going on. At this time, Yan Hua added, "You promised me that as long as I keep my promise, you will let my Queen go. Since Jun Wu Yi is not lying, you don't intend to go back on your words, right? "
The sound of wind and rain, thunder and lightning …
Although the sky was dark, and lightning streaked the sky like a silver whip, the figure of the man standing opposite the carriage, his dark purple robe, stood tall as a statue, his voice clearer than the thunder, poured into my ears.
He seemed to be injured, but he forced himself to speak to Yueze. Please release my Queen, you can ask for anything you want, and I can give you anything you want.
Yueze remained silent. His back was to me, and I couldn't see the expression on his face. I just stuck my head out of the curtain and showed myself in front of the carriage.
When Bai Lin saw me, her expression changed. I ignored her and rushed to Yan Hua's side to support him. "Yan Hua, what's wrong?"
Yan Hua's body swayed. When he saw me, he revealed a very happy smile.
He looked me up and down anxiously. "Are you all right?"
I shook my head, feeling anxious. "I'm fine! On the other hand, you seem to be injured? What exactly happened? "
Originally, according to the original plan, Yue Ze and I should have met up with Bai Lin smoothly at this moment, and then left Cang Wu while driving, and Yan Hua should have been staying in the palace. Why did he follow Bai Lin to the outskirts of the city and even say that he wanted to trade things with Yueze for me?
Yan Hua was slightly out of breath, his pale face revealed a trace of smile, "I'm fine. I heard that you were captured by Emperor Sanyu and that you were going to be brought back to be punished for your crimes. I didn't want to miss out on a bride for tomorrow's wedding, so I chased after you. "
I looked up at Yueze, his face clouded. It was dark now, and there was no light in the forest. His eyes were in shadow, and I didn't know what he was feeling.
"Did they do something to you? Why is your body so cold? " I didn't care about the shocked expressions of others as I tightly held onto Yan Hua's arm. "This place is dangerous. You should go back quickly!"
Yan Hua bitterly laughed and patted my hand. But now, there's no other way around it. I've been poisoned, so I can't leave now. Your Emperor won't let me go either. "
I was shocked and worried. Yan Hua was poisoned again? When did this happen? His body had been struck repeatedly by lightning and poison. It was no wonder why he was so weak right now!
