It turns out, they were the main characters.

Such a stunning beauty is extremely rare even within the Liangyi Sect.

Thinking of this, many disciples of the sects looked in the direction of Mu Zhi'an, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

During this time, Bai Ruoxi was pursued by many people, but she answered these disciples frankly that she already had a Daoist partner.

And that Daoist partner... was Mu Zhi'an.

The fact that a Qi Refining cultivator actually managed to win over a genius in the Divine Refining realm... and that he was so devoted to him, naturally aroused some jealousy and even madness.

"This Mu Zhian not only has a relationship with Bai Ruoxi, but also seems to have an ambiguous relationship with the Ye family sisters..." someone suddenly said.

"That's absolutely outrageous! If I were to win over Junior Sister Bai, I would never even think about any other woman!"

"That's right, with Junior Sister Bai, I have no regrets in this life."

"Hey, if you were really offered three stunning beauties at the same time, would you refuse?" someone immediately mocked.

After those words were spoken, the man fell silent.

This scene drew disdain from many female disciples of the sect.

As for the male compatriots present, they could naturally understand Mu Zhian's situation.

Just as that person said, who would refuse to have three stunning beauties at the same time?

Although they were unaware that not only these three stunning beauties, but also some of the sect disciples' masters were eyeing Mu Zhian, this 'walking furnace', as well.

If we were to find out about this in the future, it would truly drive us completely insane.

After all, even within the sect, some disciples have thought about things like "living off a woman," but they have always kept this idea hidden due to the disparity in status between the two parties.

"The eighth tribulation lightning has arrived!" someone in the crowd suddenly exclaimed.

"The destructive power of this eighth lightning tribulation is probably already very close to that of a strike from a cultivator at the Void Returning Realm."

The tribulation lightning is determined by the cultivator's realm; the stronger the cultivator, the stronger the tribulation lightning they will encounter.

The tribulation that Bai Ruoxi is currently facing has far exceeded the scope of the Refining Spirit Realm.

"Sister Ruoxi..." Ye Qian called softly, her voice full of worry.

Ye Lingxuan didn't speak, but her eyes showed a hint of worry.

If Bai Ruoxi were to perish in this tribulation, she wondered how Mu Zhian would react.

This tribulation of lightning... seems more like a conspiracy than an accident.

Boom!

Amidst the imposing storm clouds, a bolt of lightning resembling a dragon silently moved beneath the sky, gathering its power and eliciting gasps of alarm.

At this moment, countless eyes were fixed on that white figure.

Bai Ruoxi seemed to have almost exhausted her spiritual energy, and was breathing softly with her small mouth.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, she took out a jade bottle and poured seven or eight Grade 5 Qi-restoring pills into her mouth.

Then, he took out two more Rejuvenation Pills and swallowed them.

Where did Junior Sister Bai get so many pills...? Many disciples outside the Pilgrimage Hall were quite surprised.

This is a fifth-grade pill, not some worthless bean. Inner disciples do indeed have fifth-grade pills... but what they receive are cultivation pills.

However, the head of the sect usually doesn't bestow too many of these fifth-grade pills that can quickly restore spiritual energy.

Where did this Miss Bai come from...?

While the disciples were still pondering such matters, the lightning bolt in the sky, having gathered its full power, crashed down towards Bai Ruoxi!

At that moment, the entire sky was as bright as day!

Bai Ruoxi gripped the bronze sword and then took out the love lock from her chest.

Golden chains, like swimming dragons, stood before him, together resisting the eighth lightning tribulation.

boom!

A dazzling flash of lightning, like a dragon, passed through the two layers of protection of the love lock and the bronze sword, completely enveloping Bai Ruoxi.

"I'll go fetch her," Mu Zhian said softly, then summoned his black sword and went to meet her.

Finally, the lightning completely subsided, and Bai Ruoxi gracefully descended from the sky.

Her lips were slightly pale, and she seemed to stagger as she walked, but she still managed to withstand the eight lightning tribulations with her own strength!

As soon as the tribulation ended, Mu Zhian flew forward on his sword to greet the girl. He put his arm around her waist, looked down at her pale face, took out two Rejuvenation Pills and fed them to her, and said softly, "Are you alright?"

Bai Ruoxi nestled in Mu Zhian's arms, ignoring the stares around them, and said softly, "I'm fine."

Although the eightfold lightning tribulation was somewhat unexpected, the protective effect of the bronze sword, and even the defense of the love lock, still helped her offset the destructive power of the lightning tribulation.

In addition, the large number of pills that Mu Zhian had given him earlier also served to restore his health.

"It's good that you're alright."

Mu Zhian gently stroked the girl's soft hair, then whispered:

"However, I might have something to do."

Bai Ruoxi slightly raised her eyelids, gazing at Mu Zhian with a look of incomprehension in her eyes.

Mu Zhian didn't explain, but simply held Bai Ruoxi gently, then looked up at Yi Hao in mid-air and the other chiefs who were secretly watching this scene. He used his spiritual energy to transmit his voice throughout the Pilgrimage Hall, and said loudly:

"Esteemed leaders, I believe this tribulation is more like a long-planned conspiracy. I urge you to use your Qi Observation Technique to investigate!"

The sound resounded throughout the pilgrimage hall, causing the disciples who were about to leave to stop in their tracks and turn to look over.

Mu Zhian listened to the whispers around him, looked up at the several chief figures in the air above the pilgrimage hall, and silently felt the weak, light breathing of the white-clad beauty in his arms.

Since you're so eager to make a big fuss...

Let's go all the way then.

Chapter 153 The truth comes out, I am a born furnace cauldron 6k

The Third Prince stood in the crowd, staring intently at Bai Ruoxi in the distance. When he saw the girl's pale face and Mu Zhian's gesture of helping her up, he couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Although this attempt failed, it also proved one thing: the Tribulation Cloud Pill can indeed be used in lightning tribulations.

Unfortunately, more than 90% of alchemists probably don't know how to make this medicine, and he only has one pill in his hand.

I wonder where that disciple got the Calamity Cloud Pill from that day.

When the Third Prince thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

However, although the plan failed, Mu Zhian was able to escape unscathed... but what about Bai Ruoxi?

For a proud man like Mu Zhian, seeing the woman beside him seriously injured and being unable to do anything about it would probably be more painful than death for him.

As for the so-called "qi-gazing technique"... it doesn't matter.

If he hadn't made proper preparations, how could he have dared to come to the scene in person?

He had carried the talisman that shielded him from the Qi-observation technique with him from the very beginning.

Meanwhile, as Mu Zhi'an finished speaking, a slight commotion immediately arose among the disciples watching from afar. Then, someone couldn't help but speak up:

"Brother Pastor, what do you mean by what you said? Could you explain?"

"That's right. You just said that someone was secretly causing this tribulation. Do you have any evidence?"

Most people wouldn't associate Bai Ruoxi's tribulation with elixirs.

Ultimately, the Calamity Cloud Pill is an extremely rare pill. If it weren't for Ye Lingxuan's earlier words, even if Mu Zhian suspected someone was behind it all, or even suspected who was behind it, he wouldn't have thought of such an extremely rare pill as the Calamity Cloud Pill.

The three chiefs descended gracefully from mid-air; they were Yi Hao and Ren Kaitai, the chief of Huabao Peak.

Not far from the two, Ning Shuwen, the deputy chief of Huabao Peak, was also present.

Yi Hao stared at Mu Zhi'an and asked, "What did you mean by what you just said?"

With one arm around Bai Ruoxi, Mu Zhian respectfully addressed the three, saying, "Three seniors, this junior believes that someone is secretly plotting against Miss Bai during this tribulation."

"As for the reason..."

After a pause, Mu Zhian continued, "The tribulation of the Refining Spirit Realm only has six levels, but Ruoxi encountered an eight-level tribulation... Has anything like this ever happened before?"

“Never,” Yi Hao replied.

Then, he frowned slightly and nodded slightly, clearly agreeing with Mu Zhian's words.

Ren Kaitai raised an eyebrow and secretly sized up Mu Zhian.

He didn't really want to get involved in this kind of troublesome matter...

However, the genius disciple he recently accepted was actually Mu Zhi'an's maid...

Ren Kaitai naturally doted on this disciple who was extremely unlucky but had extraordinary talent. In addition to the pills that inner disciples were entitled to each month, he also gave Wei Mengrou a lot of extra pills.

All of this is because of Wei Mengrou's talent.

Ren Kaitai smiled gently and said, "If what you say is true, and this tribulation is a long-planned conspiracy, I will personally take charge for you!"

"Thank you, three seniors," Mu Zhian replied respectfully.

"What do you want to do?" Yi Hao asked.

"I humbly request that the three seniors use their Qi Observation Technique to inquire individually of the disciples present whether they have tampered with Ruoxi's tribulation this time," Mu Zhian replied respectfully.

This is a very troublesome process because it takes a lot of time to ask questions individually, but if this matter is not handled properly, similar things may happen in the future.

Moreover, because of the immense value behind Mu Zhi'an, and even the disciples he knew, the three chief disciples nodded slightly and agreed to Mu Zhi'an's suggestion.

As the three chief disciples began to question their disciples one by one using the Qi Observation Technique, Mu Zhian led Bai Ruoxi to sit down on a nearby stone chair.

"Mu Lang, what exactly are you doing...?" Bai Ruoxi raised her eyes slightly, nestled in Mu Zhi'an's arms, and couldn't help but ask softly.

"Don't you realize there's something wrong with this tribulation?" Mu Zhi'an suddenly asked, looking at the three chiefs in the distance.

Bai Ruoxi frowned slightly, nodded gently, and said, "I know there's a problem."

"But can this method really reveal who the real culprit is?"

While the two were talking, Ye Lingxuan and Ye Qian had already walked hand in hand to Bai Ruoxi's side.

Because of the unexpected incident during their tribulation today, neither of them spoke up to stop Bai Ruoxi and Mu Zhian from being so intimate.
