It turns out, they were the main characters.

With this in mind, Mu Zhian's attention returned to Wei Mengrou.

"How much longer are we going to continue like this?" Mu Zhian asked telepathically, savoring the fragrance emanating from Wei Mengrou's alluring red lips.

Wei Mengrou's cold voice carried a strange undertone: "Wait...wait until the tribulation ends."

Clearly, no matter how aloof she usually is, the current ambiguous atmosphere and intimate gestures still made Wei Mengrou somewhat uncomfortable.

I never thought I'd see Sister Mengrou blushing again... Mu Zhian couldn't help but chuckle to himself, feeling inexplicably pleased.

Although Wei Mengrou took the initiative to protect her young master, a kiss is a kiss, and the other party's reaction was pleasing at first glance.

Admiring the maid's delicate face flushed with rosy cheeks, Mu Zhian slowly moved one hand down her slender waist.

Wei Mengrou gave him a cold look and remained silent.

Mu Zhian assumed that the maid had given in, so he became even more unscrupulous and, in the shrouded black mist, attempted to touch her thigh.

Suddenly, he felt a chill down his spine, a strange, inexplicable coldness.

He glanced instinctively at his side.

With his current strength at the Refining Spirit Realm, coupled with the visual enhancements brought by his innate spiritual body, Mu Zhi'an's vision and hearing far surpass those of ordinary cultivators. Therefore, he can barely see some distant places clearly.

On a mountain not far away, Bai Ruoxi, dressed in a palace dress, was gazing tenderly in this direction, while Ye Lingxuan beside her was also silently looking in the same direction.

Lan Mulian's face was veiled, obscuring her features. Beside her, the alluring and seductive Lan Feiying looked him over with a teasing smile.

Logically, since they are currently shrouded in black mist, others shouldn't be able to see this place—

Mu Zhian's mind went blank for a moment. He looked at the completely vanished black mist, then stared at Wei Mengrou in astonishment.

"...Where is the black mist?"

Wei Mengrou looked at Mu Zhian with disdain and transmitted her voice with a gloating tone: "The lightning tribulation has been mostly completed and is much weaker now. We can do without the black mist, so I removed the black mist that was shielding the heavenly secrets in advance."

Mu Zhian: "..."

You're practically wishing your young master dead, aren't you?!

Noticing the cold gaze from afar, even the usually gentle and lovely Bai Ruoxi was so indifferent, Mu Zhian felt a chill run down her spine.

You should know that the reason he dared to act so recklessly just now was because the black mist shrouded them, and the outside world could not see what was happening here.

However, Wei Mengrou had somehow dispelled the black mist...

If Wei Mengrou's initiative to kiss him could be described as 'being forced into it', then Mu Zhian's subsequent proactive intimate actions were simply unacceptable.

This maid in the yellow dress really doesn't understand how to be considerate of her young master at all... If there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely let her experience the taste of corporal punishment!

As Mu Zhian was contemplating life, a soft, alluring voice suddenly reached his ears: "Young Master Mu is quite capable. If I remember correctly, Miss Wei used to be quite indifferent to you, right? I didn't expect that she would throw herself into your arms right after you survived your tribulation. You really are capable."

Huang Manting's voice.

What's wrong with this woman? How can she send me a telepathic message from this far away?

Mu Zhian looked at the crowd in the distance with suspicion, but he couldn't find Huang Manting anywhere.

Mu Zhian quickly looked away and then naturally removed his hand from Wei Mengrou's body, trying to maintain his upright image in front of the other girls.

...Although it was already quite late.

While Young Master Mu was suffering terribly on one side, on the other side, the scene was completely different.

Boom!

A thunder dragon descended from the sky, its destructive aura filling the entire area, and lightning fragments littered the valley floor.

Ye Yu narrowly avoided an attack by a lightning dragon, then looked up sharply, panting heavily, and cried out in his heart, "Teacher, it's all up to you!"

"Don't worry, although it will be difficult, we can still survive this tribulation." The old voice was filled with helplessness.

He had already prepared to seize the Heavenly Dao Qi if absolutely necessary. In a place like the Martial World, even if he possessed Ye Yu, no one would notice.

Once he possesses someone, no one will be able to compete with Ye Yu for the Heavenly Dao Qi for a short period of time.

But who would have thought that someone who didn't play by the rules would single-handedly stop nearly twenty cultivators of the same realm and summon a lightning tribulation to perish together with them?

"Mu Zhian probably never imagined that he could disqualify me from the competition by using such underhanded means. I wonder what he will think if he sees that I have passed the martial arts assessment later." Ye Yu sneered inwardly.

He's probably the only one who will survive this lightning tribulation.

Because he is chosen by Heaven, he is the 'protagonist'!

As for Mu Zhian, he has probably been completely destroyed in the tribulation and eliminated from the martial world.

The inner disciples of the library failed the martial arts assessment... This embarrassment will not only affect Mu Zhian, but the library itself will also be criticized, and people will question Yan Ruyu's past judgment.

Thinking of this, while accepting the control of his 'teacher', Ye Yu took the opportunity to glance in the direction where Mu Zhian had just been.

But this one glance made his gaze freeze, staring blankly at the young man who was gently holding Wei Mengrou's slender waist.

Lei Long passed by them, seemingly ignoring Mu Zhian and Wei Mengrou's presence, and charged straight at him!

"How is this possible?!" Ye Yu almost exclaimed, his eyes filled with astonishment.

At that moment, his worldview seemed to have been overturned, and his heart was filled with unbelievable astonishment.

Everyone else is undergoing tribulation by lightning, so why is Mu Zhi'an being all lovey-dovey with his maid while they have to go through tribulation?!

Isn't he afraid of being struck by lightning?!

Meanwhile, on the other side, another person was also desperately resisting the lightning tribulation.

He is the Holy Son of the Southern Wilderness, possessing a secret technique to shield the secrets of heaven. Although he cannot completely shield the secrets of heaven, he can avoid some of the heavenly punishment of lightning tribulation.

Even so, Nigati still looked disheveled, his clothes were tattered and his hair was charred and still smoking. As if he had noticed Mu Zhian's gaze, he turned his head slightly to look at him.

Then, his expression froze.

At this moment, Nigati's worldview seemed to be shattered, and he stared blankly at the scene.

The one who caused this lightning tribulation didn't get struck by lightning; instead, he was getting intimate with his maid during the tribulation!

boom!

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck down. Caught off guard, Nigati hurriedly raised his hand to defend himself, but he was still charred and burned, letting out a roar of impotent rage.

"it is good!"

The cultivators in the distance watched this scene and clapped and cheered.

Aren't you the Holy Son of the Southern Wilderness? Didn't you consider yourself invincible? Yet you were forced into this situation by an inner disciple of the Liangyi Sect. And you still dare to call yourself invincible? And that day you even had the nerve to disgust others within the Liangyi Sect?

The Eastern Continent and the Southern Wilderness were already somewhat at odds because of the previous incident involving the Azure Emperor. In addition, given Nigati's arrogant personality, he was naturally extremely pleased to see him suffer this torment.

Fifteen minutes later.

The vegetation in the lightning tribulation area was completely charred, and most of the cultivators had been sent out of the martial world by jade slips after being seriously injured.

The whole world seemed to fall silent, and the Heavenly Qi in mid-air slowly rotated, emitting a dark black light.

Wei Mengrou slightly stretched out her hand, and the Heavenly Dao Qi fell into her palm under countless scorching gazes.

Although this scene made many people envious, after glancing at Lan Mulian and the others, everyone suppressed their inner impulses.

Although this Heavenly Dao Qi is precious, according to Lan Mulian's words just now, if anyone makes a move, they will be her enemy.

No one wants to antagonize Lan Mulian in a place like this.

The power of Heaven is important, but one must also have the ability to seize it.

Just as everyone was about to fly away on their swords, many people noticed that the most powerful contenders in this Ascension Tournament were flying towards the area that had been razed to the ground by the lightning tribulation.

Some of the cultivators exchanged glances, each seeing a meaningful look in the other's eyes.

It seems that although Wei Mengrou and Mu Zhian's tribulation has ended, an even more terrifying tribulation is brewing...

Chapter 281 The Body of Misfortune, Wei Mengrou! 1 words

While some cultivators remained in place, waiting for a good show to unfold, Ye Yu, taking advantage of the chaos and with the help of the old man, hurriedly escaped the tribulation area.

Nigati, and even the monk Jingchen from the Western Regions, were not so lucky. The lightning dragons just now kept striking down. No matter how talented you are, you can't withstand such a tribulation.

Mu Zhian struggled to his feet, looked at Ye Lingxuan approaching, and maintained the acting skills befitting a movie star, smiling slightly:

"Lingxuan, when did you arrive?"

Ye Lingxuan smiled and looked at Mu Zhian: "Brother Mu, weren't you watching us from the front? You should have noticed us long ago. Why are you asking such a question now?"

Mu Zhian: "..."

Can we still have a pleasant chat, Lingxuan?

Lan Mulian gazed calmly at Wei Mengrou and said, "Are you about to return to the Void Realm?"

The maid nodded slightly.

"I'm really looking forward to the Ascension Ceremony later." Lan Mulian smiled sweetly, making the gloomy sky seem much brighter.

"I never expected that even my senior sister would participate in this Ascension Ceremony," Mu Zhian said with a touch of emotion.

Lan Feiying glanced at her sister with a smile, then squinted and said, "Sister, you're probably after something important."

Upon hearing this, Ye Lingxuan glanced, intentionally or unintentionally, at the sexy and alluring mature woman.

"Are they three Emperor-grade medicinal herbs?"

"Or is it for..."

"I just wanted to test her current strength." Lan Mulian glanced indifferently at the woman who was smiling seductively, seemingly speechless at her sister's teasing.

Seeing this, Mu Zhian couldn't help but smile and say, "Senior Sister and Sister Fei Ying have such a good relationship."

Lan Feiying smiled charmingly: "Of course. Although my sister and I didn't see each other often in the past, we are both of the same bloodline of the Lan family."

She changed the subject abruptly: "By the way, what exactly is your relationship with Miss Wei? Is it a master-servant relationship?"

The atmosphere suddenly froze.

Mu Zhian's heart skipped a beat, but then he saw Lan Feiying narrow her beautiful eyes and continue, "Or... are you two a Daoist couple?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ye Qian and Ye Lingxuan's gazes fell on Mu Zhian almost simultaneously. Lan Mulian's expression remained natural, while Lan Feiying had a teasing look in her eyes, as if she wanted to stir up trouble.

Ye Lingxuan smiled and said, "Sister Mengrou may have done this to save Brother Mu, but what Brother Mu thinks... is another matter."

Her gaze toward Mu Zhian was full of profound meaning.
