Chapter 232 The Blame-Shifter, Fourth Senior Sister
"So, why exactly is Fourth Junior Sister wary of you?"

As soon as Su Qing asked the question, Shen Baisu looked up and asked, "Do you recognize that purple cloud up there?"

Su Qing: "It looks a bit like a cloud undergoing tribulation, but not quite."

Shen Baisu: "That's divine punishment."

Upon hearing this, Su Qing was slightly taken aback, and after a moment, her eyes filled with shock. "Heavenly punishment? This... what did Fourth Junior Sister do to deserve heavenly punishment?"

Shen Baisu: "She's set up a time array."

Su Qing: !!

Su Qing was shocked. In just a moment, she understood many things.

No wonder Nangong Ling has been avoiding her lately; it turns out she wasn't secretly cultivating at all, but setting up a time array.

only……

"Didn't you say before that setting up a time array would have a backlash? Now, why are we facing divine punishment?"

Shen Baisu's eyes were filled with seriousness. "Because the ratio of time she set up the formation was too large, it might be 20:1, or even higher."

"As long as the ratio reaches or exceeds 20:1, it will be punished by heaven, and the greater the time ratio, the heavier the punishment."

Upon hearing this, Su Qing felt a surge of panic. "What are the consequences of divine punishment? Is it harder to overcome the tribulation or to be punished by heaven?"

Shen Baisu: "...They're evenly matched."

"A 20:1 ratio of heavenly punishment is equivalent to a tribulation lightning strike in the Nascent Soul stage, a 40:1 ratio is equivalent to a tribulation lightning strike in the Spirit Division stage, and so on."

Su Qing frowned and looked up at the large expanse of purple clouds in the sky. "This must be a tribulation of lightning that has reached the Tribulation Transcending stage."

Shen Baisu shook her head, "It's not clear yet."

"It's open, Su Su, it's open!"

As soon as Shen Baisu finished speaking, Yu Suhuai cheered.

He had broken the formation according to Shen Baisu's instructions. When Shen Baisu saw this, the seriousness between her brows lessened a bit. She grabbed Yu Suhuai and Su Qing's hands, one on each side, and said, "Stay close to me."

After saying that, he pulled Yu Suhuai and Su Qing into the formation.

"Fourth, Fourth Uncle, this...this Heavenly Tribulation looks so terrifying, I...I won't die under the lightning tribulation, will I?" At the peak of the formation, Mu Ye was trembling as he clung to Nangong Ling's arm, looking up at the purple clouds above.

The purple clouds had become so thick they were almost black, and right now, they hung densely in the sky, as if they could press down at any moment.

Nangong Ling pushed Mu Ye away with disdain, "What are you afraid of? I'm here, aren't I?"

"I am a cultivator in the middle stage of Mahayana. Even if the tribulation lightning that is descending now is a tribulation lightning of the Transcending Tribulation stage, I am not afraid."

After Nangong Ling finished speaking, she took out a chicken leg from her storage ring and took a bite.

Seeing this, Mu Ye was on the verge of tears. "Uncle-Master, what time is it? You still have the mood to eat chicken legs?"

Nangong Ling: "Why can't I eat it?"

"Eat a chicken leg to cheer yourself up, so you'll be more energetic when facing the lightning tribulation later."

Mu Ye: "..."

I don't know what to say, so I'll just give you a 6.

"That was quite a commotion. My master and second senior brother must have seen it, right?"

"Judging by the time, Junior Martial Aunt should have already moved the Wuji Sect to the desert by now, and she should have seen the commotion here by now."

"Fourth Uncle-Master, do you think Master, Uncle-Master, and Uncle-Master will come up soon? If they do, will the tribulation lightning harm them? Will all this commotion affect the nearby residents...?"

"Shut up!" Seeing Mu Ye chattering on and on, Nangong Ling found it annoying and simply told him to shut up.

Mu also closed her mouth, looking aggrieved.

Nangong Ling continued to gnaw on her chicken leg, waiting for the lightning tribulation.

However, she had already finished a chicken leg, and the tribulation lightning still hadn't arrived. So, Nangong Ling was getting a little impatient. "Is the tribulation lightning coming down or not?"

"We've been waiting forever, why haven't they come down yet?" "Fourth, Fourth Uncle-Master, it's...Junior Uncle-Master and Master...Father..."

As Nangong Ling was grumbling, Mu Ye suddenly grabbed her sleeve tightly and began to speak haltingly.

Nangong Ling waved his hand away, then patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I personally set up the protective formation of the peak. No one can get up here."

"Of course, when Junior Sister's cultivation was still in the Mahayana stage, she might have been able to reach the next level in three to five hours of research, but she is only in the Foundation Establishment stage now, so she definitely can't reach the next level."

"Really? I'm afraid I'll disappoint you."

No sooner had Nangong Ling finished speaking than Shen Baisu's voice rang out behind her.

Nangong Ling's figure suddenly paused.

After standing frozen in place for a few seconds, she silently forced a smile and turned to look at Shen Baisu, "Hey, Junior Sister, Third Senior Sister, Second Senior Brother, you're here?"

"You've come at just the right time."

"Today, auspicious omens descended upon Zhenfeng, the sky was filled with colorful...purple clouds, it's so beautiful, come and see together."

Shen Baisu: "You call divine punishment a blessing from heaven?"

Nangong Ling: "..."

"Actually..." Meeting Shen Baisu's gaze, Nangong Ling felt that all her explanations would be pale, so she immediately backed down, "Okay, I'm sorry, I set up a time array without telling you."

"However, it's not my fault; it was all because of Mu Ye's temptation."

Muye:?
ah? me?

Didn't you practically drag me here to join?
"No, no, no! It wasn't me, it wasn't me, I don't have that ability."

Seeing that Shen Baisu and the other two's gazes all fell on him, Mu Ye immediately made a gesture that left a trail of afterimages.

"It was Fourth Martial Aunt who wanted to set up the formation herself; I was the one who was forced into it."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Ling slapped Mu Ye on the back of the head. "Little Mu Ye, how can you lie? Didn't you beg me to teach you the Time Array while you were crying and pleading?"

"If you hadn't cried your eyes out, would I have taught you?"

"Now that you've learned formations from me, you don't want to acknowledge me anymore, do you?"

Mu Ye: "..."

No, how could I have learned that?

I'm just an assistant, okay?
At this moment, Mu Ye, who felt wronged, not only felt wronged, but also suddenly realized something.

He said he felt like he hadn't done anything, but his fourth uncle still insisted on dragging him along to set up formations every day. It turned out he was trying to make him take the blame.

Haha... What a deep bond between uncle and nephew!

Nangong Ling: "I've already taught him a lesson, and he knows he was wrong. Now that the formation is complete and the heavenly punishment is about to descend, let's not scold Xiao Muye anymore. After all, he meant well."

"Right now, shouldn't we think about how to help him... and me get through this ordeal?"

After putting on a show with Mu Ye, Nangong Ling, regardless of whether Shen Baisu and the other two had received a letter, immediately changed the subject.

Although Shen Baisu and Su Qing did not believe Nangong Ling's words, they were still somewhat useful. The most urgent task was indeed to find a way to help Nangong Ling and Mu Ye overcome the tribulation of heavenly punishment.

They didn't come to confront them, but out of concern.

Thinking it over, Shen Baisu first asked Nangong Ling, "What is the time ratio of the time array?"

Nangong Ling silently held up one finger, "100:1".

Su Qing: "Hiss~"

After a moment of silence, Shen Baisu took out two magical artifacts. "These are defensive artifacts that I obtained by chance. They can withstand a single strike of lightning tribulation during the Tribulation Transcending stage. I think it won't be difficult to withstand two lightning tribulations."

Nangong Ling and Mu Ye stood in a row like two children who had done something wrong. After Shen Baisu handed over the magic weapon, the two hesitated for a while before finally reaching out their hands.

"My fifth junior sister forged a divine artifact for me before, saying that I could use it to block the lightning tribulation when I undergo tribulation. I left it on Dan Peak, I'll go get it."

Beside her, Su Qing spoke up, and after she finished speaking, she immediately turned around and flew away.
