I saved the entire sect by playing idly by letting things fall apart.

Thunderclouds gathered overhead, and the air was thick with the scent of an impending storm. Ye Qinghan didn't even have time to throw Ye Qiao out before the lightning struck down swiftly and accurately, hitting the very center of the sky.

With a deafening roar, the lightning tribulation flashed by, as bright as day.

The next second, the lightning bolt suddenly veered off course and struck Ye Qiao directly beside him, so fast and accurate that he didn't even have time to react.

"Huh?" Ye Qinghan, who had been bracing herself for being struck by lightning, opened her eyes.

Ye Qiao had no intention of provoking the Heavenly Dao this time. Back when Ming Xuan was undergoing his tribulation, she couldn't help but give him a small middle finger, which caused a thunderbolt to strike her on the head.

Now, Ye Qinghan is undergoing her tribulation. The first bolt of heavenly lightning struck her directly. Her spiritual root absorbed the first bolt very quickly. Ye Qiao gently pressed her chest and could feel a slight change.

She looked up.

Soon, the second lightning tribulation brewed with greater force and rolled down towards Ye Qiao's head once again.

At that moment, Ye Qiao suddenly felt as if the heavenly lightning had come for her. The second lightning bolt was obviously more intense, each one louder than the last, and the people outside the arena were so frightened by the commotion that they couldn't help but back away.

Is the Nascent Soul stage tribulation really that terrifying?

This is only the second step.

Ye Qinghan's expression gradually became blank.

Who is he? What is he going to do? ...Isn't this his tribulation lightning?

He watched helplessly as two bolts of lightning struck Ye Qiao in quick succession, their power immense, striking repeatedly. Ye Qiao, driven to desperation, deftly began to frantically raise her middle finger at the heavenly lightning, grinning, "Come on!"

Just kill her.

The painful lesson of being struck by lightning for giving the middle finger last time was no longer enough to frighten her. Since she was going to get a beating anyway, Ye Qiao was ready to completely let loose.

"Ye Qiao." Ye Qinghan's indifferent expression cracked slightly: "Aren't you afraid of the lightning tribulation?"

"Oh, you're scared?" Ye Qiao: "I did it on purpose."

Since she's going to get attacked anyway, what's wrong with her saying a few sarcastic remarks?

"Holy crap!" Ye Qiao exclaimed, "They're really coming?"

Ye Qinghan's lips twitched. What was this called? Ye Qiao and her last act of stubbornness?

The two bolts of lightning terrified the onlookers. Those with higher talent for lightning tribulation would be struck for several days. In previous years, the Nascent Soul stage progressed gradually, and it was rare to see only two lightning tribulations, each one higher than the last, clearly intended to kill the person.

"My senior brother is awesome." Chu Xingzhi lazily pressed his face against the outer barrier, trying to see the scene inside. When he caught sight of the blinding lightning tribulation, his eyes widened slightly.

"The greater the tribulation lightning, the higher the talent is said to be." Qin Huai raised his eyes and clicked his tongue softly: "This Ye Qinghan is difficult to deal with."

"..."

Hearing the commotion over there, the members of Changming Sect inexplicably felt as if they were the only ones who were sober while everyone else was drunk.

They all turned around and started a meeting.

Mu Chongxi whispered, "Do you guys think that lightning tribulation was really aimed at Ye Qinghan?"

"Who knows?" Mingxuan said. "I have a feeling it's heading towards Ye Qiao."

Ye Qinghan's talent was not low, but it was definitely not high enough to be so high that he would strike to the death on the third strike.

Xue Yu's voice was low, his lips slightly pursed, "Tiandao, do you have some kind of problem with Junior Sister?"

Thunderclouds never strike the wrong target, but that time Mingxuan was hit by Ye Qiao, who gave her the middle finger and then struck her directly. In the thousands of years of cultivation, there have been many people who have talked nonsense next to the lightning tribulation, but nothing like this has ever happened.

The crowd gazed thoughtfully at the inner perimeter, amidst the flashing lightning and thunder.

It's truly unprecedented for the Heavenly Dao Society to target a single individual.

and……

Does something as mysterious and enigmatic as the Heavenly Dao truly possess its own likes and dislikes?
