It turns out, they were the main characters.

While Mu Zhi'an was sitting by the sea watching the sunset, lost in complex thoughts, two people were chasing after Mu Zhi'an and the Primordial Witch, but eventually lost them.

Wei Mengrou slightly raised her head, gazing at the completely dissipated black mist under the sky, and the two people who had long since disappeared from sight, and fell into a long silence.

"It seems the senior has discovered us and has been intentionally trying to shake us off." Tang Sufei broke the silence, but there was a hint of helplessness in her voice.

"Is that woman the Primordial Witch?" Wei Mengrou frowned slightly and said softly, "But why is the Primordial Witch looking for him?"

"Didn't Miss Wei hear that just now?" Tang Sufei looked at Wei Mengrou, who was responding coldly, with a complicated and ambiguous gaze.

"And didn't Young Master Mu just say something that sounded like a confession to that senior..."

As she said this, a strange look appeared in Tang Sufei's eyes.

For some reason, even she could hear what Mu Zhian and the Primordial Witch had just said, so it's conceivable that Wei Mengrou could also hear what Mu Zhian had said.

Wei Mengrou curled her lip and said coldly, "He probably used some method to deceive the Primordial Witch again."

Tang Sufei, however, had a different opinion and shook her head, saying, "Since it was that senior's decision, it's probably because Young Master Mu has something that attracts her."

"That guy is utterly useless except for his face," the maid said coldly.

No matter how clever the primordial witch is, she is probably just a simple girl when it comes to feelings. And for such a simple girl who has never been in love, it shouldn't be a problem for Mu Zhian to win her favor.

However, someone at the Dao Integration Realm should be able to master spells like 'mind reading', so could it be... that the Primordial Witch didn't use mind reading on Mu Zhian?

Otherwise, how could they possibly still be interested in their young master after seeing through his thoughts?

Is it simply because of her good looks?

Tang Sufei could only respond with a helpless smile.

She couldn't quite understand the true nature of the master-servant relationship at this moment.

Despite being master and servant, the maid seemed to have no respect for her young master whatsoever, and instead uttered some 'sharp' words from time to time.

Tang Sufei sighed inwardly again.

Judging from this, the Primordial Witch has absolutely no intention of taking back control of the World Sea.

Not long ago, the Primordial Witch clearly sensed them, and as the Holy Maiden of the World Sea, it was impossible for her not to notice.

But she had no intention of staying to talk at the time, and left directly with Mu Zhian... That's enough to say something.

Just as she was thinking about this, Tang Sufei suddenly seemed to realize something and subconsciously looked up at the sky.

A faint, almost imperceptible wisp of dark aura floated in, appearing profound and mysterious, seemingly containing some special kind of spiritual energy.

Tang Sufei's gaze froze slightly, and then she quickly realized something.

This spiritual energy is exactly the same as the aura of the Primordial Witch who just left!

But where exactly is this spiritual energy planning to fly to?

Wei Mengrou also noticed this scene. She raised her head slightly, and when she saw the dark spiritual energy, a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes.

"This spiritual energy seems to be flying towards us," Tang Sufei said suddenly, staring intently at the sky.

But as she spoke of this, a hint of curiosity and anticipation appeared in her eyes.

This raven-black spiritual energy carries the aura of the Primordial Witch. Perhaps this is some kind of legacy left behind by the Primordial Witch.

If that's the case, it's not surprising that it has descended to this place at this moment to find a suitable successor... Such speculation is not surprising.

Wei Mengrou's gaze narrowed slightly, and she indeed saw the dark aura streaking across the sky, heading towards their direction.

For some reason, Wei Mengrou suddenly felt a strange sense of familiarity with this spiritual energy, so she subconsciously stretched out her palm.

Then, under Tang Sufei's incredulous gaze, the raven-black spiritual energy descended from the sky and quietly entered Wei Mengrou's body.

Tang Sufei was stunned for a moment, staring at Wei Mengrou with a bewildered look.

A person who doesn't belong to the World Ocean has instead received a wisp of spiritual energy left behind by the Primordial Witch...?

Not only the saintess of the World Sea, but even the maid seemed confused and puzzled at this moment. Looking down at her palm, she could feel that something seemed to have been added to her body.

Wei Mengrou closed her eyes slightly and held her breath.

Previously, she had been stuck at the bottleneck of the eighth level of Refining Spirit, but with the injection of this suspected witch's spiritual energy, the bottleneck seemed to be about to break through.

boom!

While the two were still in shock, a deafening roar suddenly came from the sky.

Beneath the sky of the martial world, leaden clouds drifted slowly in with the wind, gathering above the two.

At this moment, even cultivators from all over the martial world were involuntarily drawn to this terrifying tribulation of lightning.

Many cultivators had a look of fear and uncertainty in their eyes.

They were all descendants of various ancient and desolate families, and had witnessed the tribulations of their clan elders as they refined their spirits and returned to the void.

Even the tribulations of the Void Returning Realm in the past had never seen such exaggerated tribulation clouds!

boom!

With another deafening roar, Wei Mengrou suddenly unleashed an astonishing burst of black mist. At that moment, the tribulation clouds in the sky trembled violently, and a faint white lightning flash seemed to be brewing something.

After a brief moment of contemplation and hesitation, some cultivators immediately flew on their swords toward Wei Mengrou's location.

Such a commotion would pique the curiosity of anyone.

Mu Zhian also raised his head, and when he saw the tribulation clouds gathering in a certain place, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

If what the Primordial Witch just said is true, then it means that Wei Mengrou really is the Primordial Witch.

The primordial witch's obsession had just disappeared when she suddenly caused such a commotion... It might be related to Wei Mengrou.

"I have to go and take a look..." Mu Zhian immediately made up his mind, collected his thoughts, raised his hand to summon his sword, and headed towards the direction where the tribulation clouds were gathering.

The cultivators participating in the martial arts assessment all set off, heading in the direction where Wei Mengrou was.

Once people from several major areas gather in one place, such a chaotic place might provide an opportunity to take advantage of the situation and gain points to pass the assessment...

At the same time, powerful figures throughout the Nine Provinces seemed to sense something, and they all opened their eyes, looking towards the direction of the Eastern Continent Martial World with surprise and uncertainty.

For those young cultivators, they might simply think of it as a tribulation of lightning.

But only these powerful beings knew that this was not an ordinary tribulation for advancing to the next rank.

If one is only at the Refining Spirit Realm, one cannot yet draw upon the Great Dao.

And now, the Heavenly Dao has already been drawn out.

Because he was the first person to break the shackles of heaven and earth and not belong to the rules of heaven and earth, the Great Dao was stirred.

……

Located in a certain area, the old man inside Ye Yu's body suddenly let out a doubtful and surprised sound.

"what?"

"Teacher, what's wrong?" Ye Yu asked in his mind.

However, the old man did not answer, seemingly concentrating on sensing something.

Then, he suddenly opened his cloudy eyes, and for the first time in his life, his voice was filled with excitement as he said urgently:

"Go to the place where the lightning tribulation is... we must get that thing!"

His tone was filled with excitement, as if he couldn't wait to take over Ye Yu's body and seize that creation of heaven and earth.

Although Ye Yu was puzzled, since the teacher had said so, he naturally did not hesitate any longer and immediately headed towards the direction where the maid was.

For a moment, the attention of these talented disciples participating in the assessment was focused on the place where the lightning tribulation was gathering.

At this very moment, the people at the center of the tribulation were Wei Mengrou and Tang Sufei, the World Sea Saintess who was traveling with them.

Chapter 278 Killing until no one dared to participate (7,000 words)

The Chaotic Body slaughtered so many that no one dared to participate!

Dark clouds rolled across the sky above the martial world, accompanied by heavy thunder, as if they had the power to devour the heavens and earth, turning the entire world into a gray haze.

Most cultivators in the Refining Spirit Realm have experienced lightning tribulations to some extent in the past. The stronger their talent, the more terrifying the lightning tribulations they will encounter.

Legend has it that under the ninefold tribulation of lightning, no matter how talented you are, you will inevitably perish in the end.

From the first to the ninth level of lightning tribulation, each level adds a 'lightning dragon', and the destructive power of this lightning dragon gradually increases in an increasing manner.

If a cultivator at the peak of the Spirit Refining stage encounters a ninefold tribulation of lightning, then the ninth tribulation of lightning is equivalent to a serious strike from a cultivator at the Void Returning stage or above.

However, Wei Mengrou's tribulation was clearly not a nine-fold tribulation.

This is the will of Heaven being stirred up, and punishment has been brought down.

Because she is born with a cursed nature, and does not belong to the rules of heaven and earth!

Although this punishment is a lightning tribulation, it only applies to the person involved. If other cultivators step into it, it will not attract a new lightning tribulation.

The influence of the Heavenly Dao is often accompanied by the descent of 'treasures,' which is why so many cultivators have gathered in this area at this moment.

When Ye Yu arrived at the scene, dozens of cultivators had already gathered a hundred feet away from where Wei Mengrou was. Tang Sufei was worried about affecting Wei Mengrou's tribulation, so she did not approach rashly and was also in the crowd at this moment.

Ye Yu stood in the crowd, staring incredulously at the figure of the yellow-clad maid in mid-air.

She should be the protagonist of destiny, but this maidservant beside Mu Zhi'an is already close to the Void Returning stage?!

One of the hallmarks of the Returning to the Void Realm is the ability to fly without the aid of a flying sword. Although Wei Mengrou has not yet reached the Returning to the Void Realm, she has clearly touched that threshold.

Even he, now, is only at the sixth level of the Refining Spirit realm, and that was only achieved by desperately cultivating with the help of mixed spiritual energy...

Such a comparison naturally makes it difficult to feel at peace.

If Wei Mengrou fails her tribulation, that's one thing, but if she succeeds, she'll be second only to Lan Mulian...

Thinking of this, Ye Yu clenched his fists quietly, and his desire for power grew stronger.

He took a deep breath, barely managing to stay calm: "Teacher, where is this good stuff you're talking about?"

"Don't rush, just watch carefully."

The old man inside the body suppressed his excitement and replied, "That thing will probably descend when that little girl officially undergoes her tribulation, and that will be the best time for you to seize that heavenly fortune."

"But remember, others will definitely notice what's in the lightning tribulation, so you must be careful to seize the right moment to strike."

Ye Yu nodded slightly at first, and then, as if he had thought of something, he subconsciously asked, "But if other cultivators enter someone else's tribulation, won't they also be forced to undergo tribulation, and will the tribulation be even more terrifying than before?"
