Qianyu began to struggle frantically, screaming: "Do you think you can trap me like this? Do you think a mere Nascent Soul stage lightning tribulation can trap me? You are dreaming, I am a master of the Spirit Severing stage, what is a mere lightning tribulation to me?"
The golden silk began to break apart due to the struggle and the impact of spiritual power, but Gu Liufeng quickly sent out new ones to replenish them.
The thunder above was getting closer and closer, carrying with it a powerful pressure that could destroy everything.
Qianyu's fear grew stronger and stronger. She felt that something was wrong, very wrong.
This thunder tribulation was different from what she had imagined. It seemed to carry the pressure of heavenly punishment, making her tremble just by listening to the sound.
Gu Liufeng showed a faint smile on his face, and his hoarse voice rang in Qianyu's ears, "Xi Yue can refine various advanced top-grade elixirs. I have been stuck at the peak of the Golden Core Stage. I could have broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage long ago. Do you know why I have not chosen to break through?"
Qianyu's eyes widened, and she began to make hoarse and shrill cries with her mouth wide open, "Let me go! Gu Liufeng, I order you to let me go immediately! As long as you let me go, I... I will heal your wounds and help you save Xiyue... Let me go now!"
The golden silk began to crack again, accompanied by Qianyu's screams, as if they were walking on the edge of heaven and hell.
Gu Liufeng seemed not to have heard her words at all, and instead spoke to himself, "I have not yet broken through to the Nascent Soul stage because, when I do, I will be devoured by my inner demons and punished by heaven. This is because I once killed my biological father with my own hands. Even though he was a beast worse than pigs and dogs, he was still the one who gave me life."
"As much as I hated that beast Murong Feng in the past, I am grateful to him now! Thank him for giving me the ability to die with you, and for giving me the capital to protect Xi Yue!" The hoarse voice rang in Qian Yu's ears, but it sounded like the call from the god of death in hell, "You want to rely on your strength to get through it? Haha, don't dream! Because this is not a thunder tribulation, but... a punishment from heaven!"
"No! No!" Qianyu's eyes widened in horror, and a broken and sharp cry kept coming out of her mouth.
This madman, this complete madman, was actually willing to bring down divine punishment and die together with himself!
Didn't he know that the inner demons would be reduced to ashes by the punishment from heaven? Didn't he know that if the soul was shattered by the punishment from heaven, one would be forever in hell, unable to be reincarnated
“BOOM!!”
Dazzling lightning streaked across the night sky, striking this fragile yet tenacious land.
The dust rolled, the grass debris flew, and the shrill shouts and screams gradually faded away and disappeared into the endless darkness.
Xiyue, my only recognized master, I hope you can live safely! Please, you must live safely and happily!

"Qingruo, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying?"
During the banquet at Pluto's Palace, Shen Sen was surprised when he saw his niece suddenly burst into tears.
Shen Qingruo wiped the tears from her face in a daze, but the heartache and despair seemed to still linger in her eyes.
"Liu Feng... Liu Feng..." A low murmur filled with pain came out of her mouth.
Suddenly, Shen Qingruo stood up and asked anxiously, "Uncle, where is Nangong Yu? Why haven't I seen the groom for so long? Why haven't I seen Gu Liufeng and the others either?"
Shen Sen also frowned when he heard this. He looked around and saw that Gu Liufeng, Ouyang Haoxuan, Qinglong and the others were not there. (To be continued)
