Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 233 Zi Yan: Xiao Bai once said that he loves it most when everyone drinks tea together!

The voice just fell.

A bolt of multicolored lightning, as thick as a bucket, shot out from the vertical eye, tearing through the sky and heading straight for the dark figure.

Wherever the lightning passed, space distorted, and a tearing sound seemed to emanate from it.

Bang!

With a loud bang, Protector Wu's body sank, unable to maintain its position in the air any longer, and crashed to the ground.

"Haha. Just one more bolt of lightning, and you can kill this protector. Keep going. Cough cough."

Lying in a large crater on the ground, gazing at the increasingly illusory vertical eye in the sky, which seemed as if a gust of wind could blow it away, the fear in Wu Hufa's eyes vanished completely. Overjoyed, he burst into laughter.

"Heh heh, whether the Xiao family is the family my Soul Hall is looking for or not, they will die today!"

Gazing at the enormous vertical eye that was now barely visible, Protector Wu's eyes turned sinister as he stumbled to his feet.

He looked quite miserable at this moment. His black cloak had completely disappeared, and the thick black mist had vanished completely, leaving him looking like a skeleton.

Suddenly, Protector Wu turned his head sharply, and a huge head came into view, with a pair of beastly eyes looking at him curiously.

"The Amethyst Winged Lion King?!"

A shocked voice escaped his lips. He couldn't understand how this stupid lion from the Monster Mountain Range had ended up outside Wutan City.

His face instantly turned grim. Was today truly the day Heaven intended to destroy him?

If it were just a Battle Spirit or even a Battle King, he could still deal with it, but a sixth-order magical beast, especially a flying one, meant that in his current state, he had absolutely no chance of escaping!

"Little Purple, keep an eye on him, don't let him get away!"

After the vertical eye in the air seemed to glance in a certain direction, a detached and distant voice came from above.

As soon as he finished speaking, the last wisp of his image vanished with the wind.

"It's you!"

Upon hearing this sound, Protector Wu immediately understood why the lion had happened to appear here!

He also realized that the vertical eye seemed to have known his purpose all along, and had only been using lightning to wear him down.

It wasn't until they arrived outside Wutan City that he was dealt a fatal blow, leaving him utterly powerless against the lion!

This young man from the Xiao family doesn't want to kill him; he wants to capture him alive!

Recalling the entire Yunlan Sect incident, an unbelievable thought suddenly popped into Protector Wu's mind.

It seemed that everything Xiao Bai did today was prepared for him.

Otherwise, why would a mere Yunlan Sect make such a plan?

Using the medicinal dust as bait, they lured him in, then Queen Medusa appeared to hold him back, and then pretended to kill Yunshan, leaving behind a scheme to plot against him.

He even foresaw his arrival at the Xiao family, leaving behind the Amethyst Winged Lion King!

He was even more suspicious that if they hadn't wanted to capture him alive, given this man's scheming, he would have had no chance of escaping from the Yunlan Sect!

"This child has a very deep and calculating mind!"

Protector Wu's face was ashen. The thought that every decision he made was within someone else's calculations filled him with dread.

Judging from the fact that the vertical eye handed him over to this stupid lion without hesitation, it even calculated that he didn't want to self-destruct!

At the summit of Yunlan Mountain.

Xiao Bai, sitting cross-legged, was pale and swaying unsteadily.

From the final perspective, he saw Yao Lao and Cai Lin rushing over. After giving them a brief explanation, he finally couldn't hold on any longer.

As his mind returned to normal, the vertical eye on his forehead slowly closed.

I slightly opened my eyes, and instantly felt the world spinning around me; everything went black in an instant.

"Brother Bai."

"Ah Niu."

Mr. Bai

A series of exclamations reached my ears, my body swayed, and I fell to the ground.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a figure in black falling. Startled, he quickly bit his tongue, trying to stay awake.

Adjusting its direction, it fell onto a green figure on the other side.

Instantly, she felt a warm, fragrant, and smooth sensation, nodded contentedly, and then fainted.

"!" Xiao Yan.

His outstretched arms froze instantly, his fists hardened, and his face darkened. He wanted nothing more than to rush up and give him a good beating.

"!" Everyone exclaimed.

I never expected you to be like this, Mr. Bai!

Seeing everyone's gaze, Yun Yun's cheeks flushed red, and she wished she could disappear into the ground.

"That scoundrel!"

Time passed slowly, and several days went by.

The battle of Yunlan Sect has come to an end, and the events that unfolded spread throughout the entire Jia Ma Empire in just a few days, causing a great uproar.

The Xiao family of Wutan City, an inconspicuous family of Great Dou Masters, instantly became the focus of this incident, becoming extremely popular.

After investigation by various forces, Xiao Bai's name quickly became an idol for countless young people in the Jia Ma Empire.

After reaching the ninth level of Dou Qi at the age of ten, he slumped for several years, unable to break through to the Dou Zhe level, and was once secretly called a "genius waste".

Now, at less than twenty years old, he has become the youngest Dou Wang powerhouse in the history of the Jia Ma Empire, and not just any Dou Wang, but the peak Dou Wang!

He even defeated Yunshan, the former sect master of Yunlan Sect, who had already broken through to the Douzong realm, with his peak Douwang cultivation!

If the facts weren't already laid bare, no one would believe that such a person existed in the world.

But his achievements don't stop there; not only is his talent for cultivation enviable, but his alchemy skills are also extraordinary.

A sixth-grade alchemist!

In the hearts of all alchemists in the Gama Empire, this rank represents the highest achievement, the pursuit of their entire lives.

But Xiao Bai, at such a young age, has reached the pinnacle that countless people strive for in their entire lives, making one sigh at how unfair fate is and how much it loves this person!

Adding to the festivities, at Xiao Bai's residence in the capital.

A quiet room in the backyard.

On the bed lay a young man with a slightly pale face. His eyelids trembled a few times, and he slowly opened his eyes. In his unfocused pupils, a lively light gradually gathered.

"woke up!"

The voice was cold and weary, but when it rang in my ears, the last syllable rose slightly, seemingly carrying a hint of joy.

Tilting her head slightly, a beautiful, aloof face came into view, and the worry in her narrow, beautiful eyes gradually dissipated.

"Cai Lin, how long have I been asleep?"

Xiao Bai pursed his dry lips, his voice hoarse and deep.

"It's been five days!"

Seeing his movements, Cai Lin got up, poured a glass of water, and gently helped him up.

"Where's that guy from the Soul Hall?"

After drinking some water, Xiao Bai's burning throat finally felt a little better.

"That old man is rather strange; I'm not good at handling these kinds of things!" Cai Lin said softly, taking the cup.

"Is that so?"

Xiao Bai nodded slightly, relieved, closed his eyes, and carefully sensed the state of his body.

The external injuries are not serious. During this period, thanks to the strong body tempered by the Five Elements, he has basically recovered.

In terms of battle qi cultivation, that Dou Huang barrier was already a fragile membrane, as if it could be broken with a single puncture, and he immediately understood.

After using the Great Five Elements Divine Light several times, his cultivation level had reached the point where he could break through at any time. He didn't even need any external support; with a thought, he seemed capable of crossing over.

However, his consciousness, having used the vertical eye between his eyebrows for so long, had his soul power completely drained, otherwise he wouldn't have been unconscious for five days.

The most important thing right now is to restore my soul power and prepare for the arrival of the next lightning seed.

"I wonder what the next lightning bolt will be?"

Thinking of this, a sense of anticipation rose in Xiao Bai's heart.

"Sister Cailin, has Xiao Bai woken up?"

Just then, a small head peeked in from outside the door, and a clear voice interrupted Xiao Bai's thoughts.

Upon hearing the sound, Xiao Bai was about to get up when he suddenly felt the temperature around him drop several degrees.

Looking up, I saw that Cai Lin seemed to have checked the sky and confirmed the time, and her pretty face suddenly turned cold.

A question arose in her mind: Had Ziyan angered her?

"She's here again?"

The latest novel is first published here!

Seeing Cai Lin's expressionless face and the chilling coldness in her voice, Zi Yan shrank back and nodded gently.

With her big, dark eyes darting around, she subtly winked at Xiao Bai on the bed.

Xiao Bai's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition instantly rose within him.

This "she"...could it be...?

"Ah Niu, you're finally awake!"

Sure enough, a graceful figure in cyan stepped in. Upon seeing Xiao Bai, who was about to get up from the bed, her beautiful eyes revealed a deep sense of surprise.

The weariness between my brows eased considerably at that moment!

"Uh, Yunzhi, you're here!"

Xiao Bai glanced cautiously at Cai Lin, whose face was full of coldness, and then awkwardly waved to Yun Yun.

"Pfft."

Seeing his actions, Yun Yun couldn't help but laugh. This little guy was quite domineering back in the Monster Mountain Range and Yunlan Sect!

I never expected to see such a face. Is Queen Medusa really that terrifying?

He really is a coward who bullies the weak and fears the strong, and a real one at that.

philandering bastard!

She nodded slightly to Cai Lin, who had a stern face beside her, smiled, and didn't care whether she agreed or not.

She moved gracefully to the bedside, looked him up and down for a moment, and spoke softly, revealing her concern:

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, just that my soul energy was overused!"

Xiao Bai waved his hand, jumped out of bed, and felt the room temperature drop again. Although he felt a little shiver, he still smiled and teased:

Should I call you Yunzhi or Yunyun?

Upon hearing this, Yun Yun rolled her eyes at him. This guy probably already knew her identity, and said irritably:

"Yunzhi is me, and Yunyun is also me!"

Then, her beautiful eyes swept over Cai Lin, whose expression was growing increasingly cold, and she chuckled softly:

"If you like Yunzhi, you can call her that!"

"!" Xiao Bai.

Your courage is commendable! My Lord Yun!

What exactly happened during the past few days while she was in a coma? Otherwise, given her calm nature, she would never have said something so ambiguous.

Not to mention that it happened in front of Cai Lin, could it be that the two of them had a conflict?

"Ahem. How are things at the Yunlan Sect?"

Clearing his throat, Xiao Bai quickly changed the subject, otherwise Cai Lin might have drawn her sword and started attacking!

Upon hearing Xiao Bai's question, Yun Yun fell silent, looking at him with a complex expression. After a long while, she parted her red lips slightly and slowly said:

"The losses aren't significant, but this incident has caused some unrest among the staff!"

Looking at her somewhat evasive eyes, Xiao Bai knew perfectly well that this wasn't the truth; she just didn't know how to answer the question.

The First Elder Yun Ling is dead, the Chief Alchemist Gu He is dead, and Yun Shan is probably unconscious now. The Yunlan Sect's reputation has plummeted, and almost all of its disciples are injured.

And all of this is directly or indirectly related to him.

"Feel sorry!"

Seeing the weariness between her brows, Xiao Bai knew she probably hadn't slept a wink for the past few days, and he couldn't help but feel pity for her. He said gently:

"If you need me to do anything, just tell me. Whatever it is, I'll do it!"

"I've never blamed you, and you don't need to feel guilty!"

Yun Yun pursed her red lips slightly, gently shook her head, and gazed steadily at him, whispering:

"Yunlan Sect is where I grew up. This is my home. My teacher raised me and taught me skills. Although he had his faults, he was still like a teacher and a father to me!"

"If it weren't for you, given the strange nature of that black-mist man, Teacher would have been in grave danger sooner or later. Furthermore, the Yunlan Sect is currently at its weakest point, yet the royal family hasn't made any move. This is likely also because of you!"

"As long as the Yunlan Sect still exists, and my teacher is still here, that's enough!"

As for Yunling's matter, she didn't mention it at all. Judging from some of the news she had received in the past few days, she already had a vague guess in her mind.

He didn't move a single member of the Yunlan Sect this time, but he killed Yun Leng alone, and he did so ruthlessly, killing him with a single blow.

They must have known about her past situation. As for the teacher, if it weren't for her involvement, they probably would have...

Thinking about this, I felt inexplicably happy!

He cares about her!

There is someone who can protect her like this, and who thinks of helping her when she is wronged. What more could she ask for?

"Snap!"

The sound of a glass shattering suddenly broke the silence of the room and interrupted the exchange of glances between the two.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Cai Lin remained expressionless, casually tossing away the shards of the cup in her hand, and said calmly:

"Ziyan, these cups at home don't seem very good. Let's go buy a new set later. The new ones are nicer and more appealing!"

"!" Xiao Bai.

"Okay, Sister Cailin, no problem!"

Sensing the strange atmosphere in the room, a mischievous smile flashed in Zi Yan's big eyes, and she nodded her little head repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice.

Yun Yun's expression remained unchanged, a faint smile playing on her lips, her tone enigmatic:

"Your Majesty, that tea set is a rare and exquisite piece. The glaze is lustrous, and it seems that there are even twin lotus flowers painted on the bottom of the cups!"

"I don't like this design!"

Clinging to slender, jade-like fingers, Cai Lin gently lifted her eyelids, her voice clear and cold:

"I prefer to stand out alone!"

Leaning back lazily in his chair, his slender fingers tapped lightly on the table, producing a crisp sound. He raised his eyes and glanced indifferently at Yun Yun.

"Only the most outstanding among them is worthy of my status!"

Yun Yun maintained her polite smile, but her eyes had turned colder.

"Her Majesty is right, however..."

She paused.

"Some things, if done too arbitrarily, can backfire!"

"Ah Niu, what do you think?"

Xiao Bai, who was about to leave, suddenly froze, as if he had been frozen in place. He couldn't help but roll his eyes inwardly, his mind racing as he tried to think of what to say.

Zi Yan blinked her big eyes, looked at Cai Lin, then at Yun Yun, and suddenly blurted out:

"Xiao Bai once said that he loves drinking tea with everyone the most!"
