The righteous path punishes Heaven

Chapter 96 Indiscriminate Killing

Bubbling water bubbled in the river. Zhang Yunling raised his left hand, and a strong suction pulled out the two disciples underwater.

The group of dozens of cultivators dressed in black and white Daoist robes in the Immortal Ruins were actually from the Qiankun Dao. The woman who was caught by the fishing hook was none other than Dong Wan, the current sect leader of the Qiankun Dao.

The two stared at each other, and Dong Wan blushed, angrily saying, "You brat, what are you looking at! Put me down right now!"

Zhang Yunling couldn't help but chuckle. After placing the three of them on the wooden boat, Dong Wan slapped him on the back of the head, then burst into laughter: "Hahahaha! I didn't expect to run into you here! How have you been lately?"

Caught off guard, Zhang Yunling frowned slightly, rubbing her head as she said, "Can't you be a little more ladylike... I'm a disciple of the Quanzhen Sect now, and I came to this Immortal Ruins with the sect's team to search for treasures. By chance, I entered this secret realm, and I really didn't expect to run into a woman like you..."

Dong Wan's eyebrows were already quite thick, and she usually had a stern face. When she heard Zhang Yunling call her "wife," her eyebrows furrowed, making her look even more ferocious. She flipped over and straddled Zhang Yunling's neck, giving him a series of slaps across the face.

"You brat! Your cultivation hasn't improved much in all this time, but your tongue has certainly gotten smoother! You really deserve a beating!"

"Hey hey hey! I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong! Dear sister, spare my life!"

Hearing Zhang Yunling surrender, Dong Wan was finally satisfied. She lowered her head and whispered in his ear, "Hmph, Brother Yunling, it must be fate that we met today. If you find any good treasures, you can share them with me, and I will definitely forgive you."

Upon hearing these outrageous conditions, Zhang Yunling was very unwilling, but out of consideration for their former business partnership, he reluctantly agreed. He figured he could just settle the woman down first and then find a way to slip away; why bother sharing the opportunity?

Dong Wan released Zhang Yunling's hair, clapped her hands, and walked towards the two disciples of Qiankun Dao. She introduced them to Zhang Yunling, saying, "Well, these two are the two great protectors of Qiankun Dao, the Black Protector and the White Protector. You don't need to know their names."

"Tch, actually you just can't remember..." Zhang Yunling muttered under her breath.

"What did you say?! You brat!" Dong Wan was furious when Zhang Yunling exposed her mistake, but then she heard a thunderous roar in the distance, the sound carrying for miles, even causing ripples to spread across the lake.

Zhang Yunling cradled Dong Wan's head in his hands, turned to face the source of the thunder, and said in a deep voice, "I've been in this secret realm for over forty years and have never seen any cultivators. This lightning seems a bit off; it's not something that nature could have caused. It's more like a Nascent Soul or even a Deity Transformation cultivator undergoing tribulation..."

"You mean...besides the four of us, there are other cultivators who have also entered here?" Dong Wan joined in the analysis. Zhang Yunling slowly nodded. "Although I haven't actually witnessed what it's like for a Nascent Soul cultivator to undergo tribulation, I've consulted relevant historical records, which detail various common situations encountered by cultivators of different levels during tribulation..."

The black and white protectors standing to the side echoed, "Sect Master, we've gone through so much trouble to get here, we can't let others seize the opportunity first!"

Dong Wan nodded slightly, her gaze hardening. Zhang Yunling quickly took action, grabbing Dong Wan's wrist and stomping his foot, rushing towards the source of the lightning tribulation. The black and white guardians behind them followed closely behind.

Dong Wan was caught off guard by the grab, but she quickly recovered. Gradually, they could clearly feel waves of spiritual energy spreading outwards. Then, a massive bolt of lightning pierced the heavens and the earth, striking down with a deafening roar that resounded throughout the world, sending Zhang Yunling, Dong Wan, and the Black and White Guardians flying far away.

At the critical moment, Zhang Yunling used the Divine Speed ​​Ghost Step, which greatly increased his speed. At the same time, he grabbed the Black Guardian with his left hand, and the Black Guardian grabbed the White Guardian's arm in time. The four of them became one and were carried forward by Zhang Yunling.

After enduring two more waves of lightning tribulations, the cultivators' tribulations finally came to an end, and Zhang Yunling, Dong Wan, and the others successfully arrived nearby.

Just as the group was about to approach further, Dong Wan stopped them and whispered a reminder: "Wait a minute. A cultivator of this level will definitely spread his divine sense during his tribulation, because the period of tribulation is a weak period for a cultivator. Once we enter the range of his divine sense, we will be met with his fierce attacks."

Zhang Yunling asked in confusion, "If that's the case, then we can't actively use our divine sense to investigate him. How can we find out his identity?"

Dong Wan smiled slightly. As the sect leader of Qiankun Dao, she could easily access the sect's secrets through her authority. She could freely browse and learn all kinds of high-level techniques that were monopolized by the senior elders.

The technique to be used now is the "Eye of Insight," a high-level spell that allows one to detect distant situations without relying on divine sense.

As soon as she opened her eyes, Dong Wan's brown pupils were instantly covered by a touch of emerald green. The world in her eyes suddenly became three-dimensional. She could shrink or enlarge distant objects according to her will, and she could also see the scene behind the obstruction at will without being noticed by anyone.

A few breaths later, Dong Wan gave the answer. Sure enough, it was a cultivator undergoing tribulation. Judging from his appearance, although the cultivator had successfully passed the tribulation, he had also been injured by the surging lightning earlier.

"He was wearing a purple robe, the style of which was different from what we were wearing. It was embroidered with all sorts of strange and unusual patterns, and we couldn't tell which sect he came from."

Zhang Yunling's lips curled up, and he sneered, "I haven't killed anyone in forty years. If I don't awaken my dantian soon, it might forget what it feels like to circulate spiritual energy."

Dong Wan looked at Zhang Yunling with some disdain, whose expression revealed murderous intent. "Ever since you stole the Qiankun Qi Luck Pill, have you been thinking about killing people every day?"

Zhang Yunling didn't answer, but instead proved it to her with his actions.
