Chapter 1042 “Group Breakthrough (5)”
Strangely enough, none of those lightning strikes would draw near this demon princess despite being at the epicenter of it all. Therefore, everything within ten Li (500 meter) had remained untouched from the incident.
“Sister-in-law,” she opens her mouth now after being unable to hold in the doubt. “With your strength, you should be able to fend off the lightning strikes, why don’t you help them?”
Bai Yan chuckled over the obvious question: “These are what you call tribulation trials. Though its dangerous, it’s a must for any cultivator to experience it for themselves to help forge their body for the newer rank. Otherwise, they will be at a disadvantage during battle because they only have the power spiritually and not physically.”
Making an understanding face, the demon princess just had to offer up the most troublesome idea ever: “Then this won’t do, I also want to be hit by this lightning a few times.” After saying that, she promptly stood up and called out to the lightning cloud in an excited manner: “Do you not see there’s another living person here? What’s the meaning of avoiding me?”But not only did her demands not help, the dark cloud seems to have a mind of its own and moved even father away from the girl….
Di Xiao Wan literally made a face with black lines running through it at the sight.
What’s the meaning of this? Are those clouds not giving me face?
Just as Di Xiao Wan grinded her teeth in frustration, the event was over and the clouds began to disperse, leaving a pure blue sky in its wake. If it wasn’t for the scorched earth and smoking craters here and there, one would not even notice what had happened due to the serenity in the air.
“Am I at the Celestial Rank now?” Qiu Shu Rong stood up and laughed hysterically before breaking out into tears. “I never could’ve imagined this day to come so early. Now those animals from the Spirit Realm can come all they like. If they do, I will make sure they never get to go back!”
All smiles in the face: “You guessed it right Shifu, those from the Spirit Realm will certainly come again. If you hasten your consolidation speed then the next battle will be yours with ease.”
Talk about having a turn around in their attitude. Back when the Spirit Realm first attacked these old timers were cowering and afraid of what’s to come, and now they’re talking like the other side were no more than preys ready for them to hunt?“Shifus, all of you shouldn’t be too happy just yet. Even if everyone is at the Celestial Rank now, there’s still different tiers in there. If the Spirit Realm’s main core battle force comes, we might have difficulty coping with it.”
There’s no doubt in her mind that more powerful individuals are still lurking within the ranks of the enemy. Fortunately Bai Yan has a spy on the other side, at the very least preparations would be in order if a attack was imminent.
“Dragony should be back soon….” Staring up in the sky then as if another thought has come to mind, her gaze locks onto the direction of where the border city should be from where she stood
Since those Saint Ranks are already anti-contracted by the little missy then it’s safe to include those Saint Ranks as part of their own forces. Such numbers may not be a match for those Celestial Ranked masters, but they’re plenty useful to clean up the rabbles, hence the reasoning for Bai Yan to send Dragony back to the border city. She wants to use these newly acquired slaves.
“Xiao Wan,” Bai Yan abruptly turns around as if recalling something important again. “Before Di Cang said he’s going to look for Xiachen in the secret domain, did something happen?”
The demon princess didn’t answer right away like she normally would, instead the girl got all hesitant and nervous, a clear sign something was amiss.
“Tell me, what is my son’s condition?” Grasping onto the girl’s shoulder, Bai Yan fingers got a bit harsh.
Bai Xiachen was her life! If anything happens to the boy then this mother might as well die along with him, that’s the level of importance he was to this woman
