Chapter 669: Intercepted on the Road
Xianluo Island.
City Lord's Mansion.
In the hall on the top of the mountain overlooking the entire Xianluo Island, Lei Yanlong slowly opened his eyes.
"Master, it's Bi Rong who is undergoing the True Immortal Tribulation. It seems that the Ninth Young Master has invested a lot of money in her!" Lei Yu walked in from outside and bowed slightly towards Lei Yanlong with a subtle expression.
“To trigger the True Immortal Tribulation, it is not enough to just shed blood. One also needs to comprehend the true meaning of the True Immortal. I didn’t expect that this witch has some talent.” Lei Yanlong said.
"Master, if Bi Rong survives the heavenly tribulation and becomes a true immortal, the Ninth Young Master will probably have to survive the wind and fire tribulation soon, is that right..." Lei Yu asked cautiously.
"You don't have to go. If he brings that witch back, you can bring them to see me." Lei Yanlong said and slowly closed his eyes.
…
Bi Rong's true immortal tribulation is no different from that of an ordinary earthly immortal, both involve sixty-nine heavenly tribulations and fifty-four thunder tribulations.
Bi Rongdu was relatively relaxed, and she didn't even use the Red Sky Golden Flame Sword that Qin Ziling had given her. She only used the low-grade immortal weapon that she had used before.
As soon as Bi Rong survived the catastrophe, he returned to Jiuju Island with Lei Keyu.
As soon as the two returned to Jiuju Island, the entire island was shrouded in clouds and mist. Their men also flew out of Jiuju Island and guarded the four corners of Jiuju Island.
It's clear that all visitors are rejected!
"Master! Master's Wife!" As soon as they returned to the courtyard at the foot of the hill, Lei Keyu and Bi Rong both knelt in front of Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing and kowtowed three times.
"Since Bi Rong has become a true immortal, it's time for us to leave this place and go to the Tianji branch on Juxian Island to see if we can buy the immortal medicine that can stimulate Bi Rong's bloodline power." Qin Ziling said lightly.
"Master!" Lei Keyu and Bi Rong raised their heads suddenly upon hearing this, their faces filled with shock, looking at Qin Ziling in disbelief.
They all remembered that Qin Ziling had mentioned to them last time that they were still short of four kinds of elixirs to stimulate the power of Bi Rong's bloodline.
Any one of those four kinds of immortal medicines could cause a fifth-rank or even a sixth-rank immortal to fight fiercely, and they were extremely precious.
So after hearing this, the two of them basically stopped thinking about the four elixirs, believing that it was something in the distant future.
As a result, they never dreamed that their master was now preparing to purchase these four elixirs!
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Qin Ziling asked.
"Master, even if the Tianji branch has those four kinds of elixirs, they are still extremely precious. If we go now, I'm afraid..." Lei Keyu said.
"You know, but how could I not know? Don't worry, I just made a fortune a few days ago. As long as the Tianji branch has these four kinds of elixirs, I can still afford them." Qin Ziling said with a smile.
"Master!" The two's eyes suddenly turned red when they heard that, and at the same time, they were more and more shocked at their master's financial resources!
Not long ago, he rewarded them with the Wuchen Immortal Pill that could increase their cultivation, the second-grade Du'e Immortal Pill, and even the more miraculous Dragon Blood Creation Pill and top-grade immortal artifacts.
Nowadays, even fifth- and sixth-rank True Immortals would fight for this elixir, and there were four kinds of it. Yet, their master casually said that he could afford it. How could they not be shocked?
Of course, more importantly, I want to be grateful!
Such a master is even closer than one’s own parents!
…
The next day.
A fairy boat flew away from Jiuju Island.
Standing on the fairy boat, overlooking the rapidly receding Xianluo Islands, Lei Keyu and Bi Rong felt extremely complicated.
Before leaving, Qin Ziling had already set up some simple protective formations on Jiuju Island.
However simple it is, with Qin Ziling's current attainments in formations and the resources at hand, it is enough for Jiuju Island to have the defensive power to resist a second-grade True Immortal.
Jiuju Island is just a small island with no resources to speak of. It is located in the Xianluo Islands and backed by the Lei family. It has a second-grade True Immortal-level protective formation, which is actually considered a top-level configuration.
In the entire Xianluo Archipelago, let alone small islands like Jiujuma Island which have few resources, even some medium-sized islands with considerable resources will not have protective formations that can withstand a second-grade True Immortal.
In addition to the protective formation, Qin Ziling checked the resources on hand of Lei Keyu and his wife. Seeing that there were not many valuables, he asked them to take them all out and leave them to the men who stayed behind on Jiuju Island, so that they could improve their cultivation as soon as possible.
Qin Ziling's words made Lei Keyu and his wife feel heartbroken, because those were the wealth they had accumulated with great difficulty!
But they had to listen to the Master's words. Besides, the Master also wanted to cultivate their subordinates, so the two of them gritted their teeth and left all the resources and wealth they had worked so hard to accumulate to their subordinates on the island.
How could the two of them know that their master had robbed four sixth-rank True Immortals, and there were even more below the sixth rank. What was the collection of a mere second-rank True Immortal worth?
The formation had the defensive power of a second-grade True Immortal, and a large amount of cultivation resources were reserved. Lei Keyu and his wife naturally had nothing to worry about for their men who stayed behind on Jiujuma Island.
But this time of leaving is different from any previous time, and my mood is inevitably complicated.
Just when Lei Keyu and his wife were feeling mixed emotions, they discovered a rather shabby little fairy boat flying towards them in the distance.
“Uh, this…”
When the fairy boat came closer, Lei Keyu and his wife were surprised to see that the people sitting in the rather shabby-looking fairy boat were actually the formerly very glamorous and proud Lei Qian and her group.
It turned out that Qin Ziling's Sky-piercing Immortal Shuttle was very fast, while Lei Qian and his group's Immortal-breaking Boat was very slow, and it took them six or seven days to reach the outer waters of the Xianluo Islands.
At this time, Lei Qian also saw Lei Keyu and his wife, Qin Ziling and the other three, and her expression was a little surprised.
She didn't expect to meet Qin Ziling and others when she set out to leave the Xianluo Islands, and she met Qin Ziling and others again when she returned this time.
Before she left, she was extremely glamorous, but now she was in a very embarrassed and awkward situation. In contrast, the fairy boat they were riding on was obviously a high-end one. The contrast was obvious.
However, after being stunned, Lei Qian felt inexplicably annoyed and unhappy.
She suffered so much, why did Lei Keyu, the abandoned son of the family and the evil woman, live a happy life?
She was also very unhappy with Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing. She suffered a setback last time because of Qin Ziling's action. Then the incident on Jinyue Island happened. She even had the urge to vent her anger on Qin Ziling, thinking that he brought bad luck to her.
"Miss, this immortal boat is at least a mid-grade immortal weapon, and that person has a top-grade immortal weapon in his hand! Just think about it, a top-grade immortal weapon, there are not many people in the whole family who own it." Aunt Wang, the guardian Wang beside Lei Qian, looked at Qin Ziling with a different mood. She leaned close to Lei Qian and whispered, with a sinister and greedy look in her eyes.
"Aunt Wang, what do you mean?" Lei Qian was shocked when she heard the words and asked.
"Miss, have you forgotten that we were robbed?" said Protector Wang.
"Will this..." Lei Qian's heartbeat suddenly quickened.
"Miss, are you still afraid of Lei Keyu, this abandoned child?"
"Of course we're not afraid! But that man is very powerful, we..."
"Miss, don't forget where this is. Don't forget that Wu Ling is dead now. The family will definitely not value and cultivate you like before. And you and I have been robbed of everything. If there is no big trick..."
"You don't have to say it, I understand!"
There was a hint of ruthlessness in Lei Qian's eyes. Then she stepped out of the fairy boat and raised her hand. The sea below suddenly rose into huge waves, forming a wall of water standing upright in the air, blocking the way of the Sky-piercing Fairy Shuttle.
"Stop!" Lei Qian shouted with a sullen face.
"Lei Qian, what are you doing?" Lei Keyu shouted angrily upon seeing this.
More than ten days ago, Lei Qian wanted to force his Ran Yixue Demon Beast to buy him, and now he blocked her way for no reason!
"What? I also want to ask you, as a member of the Lei family, why would you mix with the devil who robbed me and Protector Wang?" Lei Qian asked harshly.
"Lei Qian, are you crazy? How dare you slander and insult my friend? Do you really think I dare not kill you?" Lei Keyu was so angry that his face turned blue when he heard that. Without thinking, the trident rushed out and killed Lei Qian.
"Young Master Jiu, what are you going to do? Are you going to betray the Lei family? In order to rob our demon, you are actually going to kill Miss Lei Qiang!" Seeing that Lei Keyu's Trident was released with great momentum and strength that was much stronger than he had imagined, Protector Wang was shocked. He knew that Lei Qiang would definitely not be able to resist without the magic weapon, so he hurriedly stepped down from the fairy boat, pinched the magic formula with his hand, pointed at the sea below, and a rolling water force condensed, turning into a crystal clear water dragon that rushed towards the Trident.
Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing looked at each other with subtle expressions.
Of course they knew that Lei Qiang and Protector Wang were crazy because of poverty, so they wanted to frame the two of them and fleece them to make up for their losses. They didn't really know that it was Qin Ziling who robbed them.
But the problem is, they know that they are the ones who are robbing them!
The two of them didn't wrong them at all!
But the level of this accidental hit is too high!
It’s accurate every time you hit it!
The subtle expressions of Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing naturally had another meaning in the eyes of Lei Keyu and Bi Rong!
Yes, no one would be able to remain calm if they were innocently slandered and humiliated like this. Their master and mistress were very well-mannered, and because of the relationship between Lei Qian and Lei Keyu as siblings from the same clan, they did not fly into a rage or take action.
Otherwise, if it were someone else, having been slandered and humiliated like this for no reason, he would have been furious and taken action.
However, precisely because of this, Lei Keyu and Bi Rong felt more and more guilty, and could not tolerate the unwarranted slander from Lei Qiang and Protector Wang.
“Bang!”
Lei Keyu was so angry that the immortal power in his body rushed out wildly. With one halberd, he directly exploded the water dragon transformed by Wang Hufa's immortal magic, and it turned into a flood that rushed in all directions and fell into the sea.
After destroying the water dragon with one halberd, Lei Keyu had no intention of stopping. The trident whizzed through the void and went straight to the chest of Protector Wang.
"You evil woman, how dare you slander my master...My friend, if I don't kill you today, I won't be able to vent my hatred!"
How could Protector Wang have known that Lei Keyu would become so fierce, and he never imagined that Qin Ziling's position in his mind was now sacred and inviolable.
She saw that Lei Keyu broke her magic with one halberd, and then attacked her with a more ferocious halberd, with no intention of holding back at all. She couldn't help but panic, and her magic power rushed out without cost, gathering seven water dragons at once, and rushing towards the trident one after another.
There was no way. Now Lei Keyu's strength was no less than hers, and he had a mid-grade magic weapon in his hand, while she was unarmed. If she were to use her magic a little later, three holes would probably appear on her body.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
With a stab of the trident, a water dragon exploded.
"Send a distress signal quickly!" Protector Wang screamed. In just a moment, he was already in a panic and his hair was disheveled.
The people on the fairy boat and Lei Qian who was standing in the air were all stunned at this time, their faces turned pale and sweat broke out on their foreheads.
Ever since Lei Keyu was abandoned by his family, he has been practicing in seclusion on an outer island alone and almost never sets foot on the main island of Xianluo.
Sometimes, when the younger brothers in the family bullied him, he would hold his breath as long as they didn't mention the matter of Bi Rong. Even when the True Immortal Guardians of the Lei family bullied others, as a direct descendant of the Lei family, he would often not fight and end the situation by giving in.
Over time, people thought that the ninth young master of the Lei family was easy to bully, so when Qin Ziling and Lei Keyu just returned to the Xianluo Islands, the True Immortals flying past them basically did not look at him straight in the eye. Only some cultivators and earthly immortals below the level of True Immortals would salute and greet him.
As a result, they never dreamed that once Lei Keyu got angry, he would be as mighty as a lion, and his strength was so strong that even the third-grade True Immortal Wang Protector was in a panic and in danger!
Lei Qian felt somewhat regretful at this moment.
But once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back.
At this time, she could only grit her teeth and send out a distress signal , which was also part of her plan.
Seeing this, Bi Rong wanted to use the Red Sky Golden Flame Sword to rush forward and kill them to prevent them from sending out a distress signal.
However, Qin Ziling stopped her and said calmly, "Let the Lei family come and explain the matter clearly, so that they won't frame us and accuse us of fleeing because we are afraid of the crime. Then it will be us even if we didn't do it. Besides, if we leave, we will be fine, but the people of Jiuju Island will suffer."
Xiao Qing felt something was strange when she saw Qin Ziling saying calmly that Lei Qian and the others would frame and slander others.
But Bi Rong's reaction was completely different after hearing this. He looked at Qin Ziling with even more respect and admiration.
Master is such a good person! Even though those people on Jiuju Island are just small figures, he always keeps them in mind.
"Lei Keyu, my grandfather and the others will be here soon, why don't you stop!" After Lei Qian sent out the distress signal, her face finally showed a hint of color, her courage returned, and she shouted loudly.
"So what if they come?" Lei Keyu shouted. As he spoke, he pointed his hand at the trident, and a ray of light came out of the trident, shooting towards Lei Qian.
At first it was as light as dust, as fast as lightning, and it was here in the blink of an eye.
As it approached, it suddenly emitted a bright light and turned into a sharp mountain, pressing down towards Lei Qiang.
Lei Qian's face changed drastically when she saw this. She screamed and a huge hand with a rosy glow appeared from behind her head, trying to hold up the mountain that was pressing down on her.
But Lei Qian was only a first-rank immortal, while Lei Keyu's current strength was comparable to that of a third-rank immortal. Even if he emitted a halberd light, Lei Qian would not be able to withstand it, not to mention that Lei Qian did not have any immortal weapon in her hand yet.
“Crack, crack, crack!”
The giant hands of rosy clouds broke one after another, and beads of sweat kept rolling down Lei Qian's forehead. Immortal power poured into the giant hands of rosy clouds like money, trying to support them. At the same time, Lei Qian screamed frantically: "Come and save me!"
The earthly immortals at the Immortal Infant Realm on the Immortal Boat didn't want to take action at first, but Lei Qiang was their master after all, so they could only bite the bullet and use their magic weapons to charge forward.
"You can take action now, but don't use the Scarlet Sky Golden Flame Sword." Qin Ziling said lightly upon seeing this.
"Yes!" Bi Rong bowed slightly, raised his hand, and a red flaming sword shot out into the sky, transforming into a giant firebird that rushed forward.
The firebird flapped its wings, and a huge wave of fire swept towards the infant-level immortal who was rushing towards it.
As soon as Bi Rong passed the True Immortal stage, the power of her bloodline had been stimulated a little. Moreover, before she passed the tribulation, she also took the "Dragon Blood Creation Pill". The Heavenly Dao she had comprehended was no longer comparable to that of an ordinary first-grade True Immortal.
Now, as soon as he released the Fire Bird Sword, the power it unleashed was almost as powerful as that of a second-grade True Immortal.
The fire wave swept in like an overwhelming tidal wave.
The magic weapons released by the immortals in the Immortal Infant Realm were all rolled back. Not to mention going forward to support Lei Qiang, they could hardly protect themselves.
"True Immortal! You are actually already a true immortal!" Lei Qian was shocked upon seeing this and exclaimed in surprise.
"Crack!"
At this moment, the giant hand of rosy glow fairy power that Lei Qian displayed collapsed and was suppressed by the golden-orange mountain phantom transformed by a halberd light.
After suppressing Lei Qian, Lei Keyu fought more and more bravely, killing Protector Wang so hard that he spat out blood several times and secretly groaned in pain in his heart.
Bi Rong stood behind Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing, watching his man killing people everywhere. He also saw those earthly immortals in the Immortal Infant Realm being killed twice by the Fire Bird Sword he had released. He dared not move forward anymore. He felt very proud and stood straight in his heart. There was no trace of his former humility!
"How dare you! Don't let go!"
There came a majestic voice like rolling thunder.
In the distance, three brilliant lights broke through the air rapidly, and there were more than ten brilliant lights following from even farther away.
The sound was still echoing between heaven and earth when a long whip came flying into the air like a dragon with bared fangs and claws.
“Bang!”
The long whip lashed down fiercely, causing the space to become turbulent and air waves to roll.
Lei Keyu had no choice but to give up Protector Wang and the suppressed Lei Qiang, and turned the trident to block the long whip that was lashing down.
"Snap! Snap! Snap!" The man wielding the whip was already a fourth-grade True Immortal, whose realm was far superior to Lei Keyu's. Even though he was whipping from a long distance away, Lei Keyu was still only able to parry and had no power to fight back.
Qin Ziling and Xiao Qing just watched coldly.
Bi Rong tried to attack but was blocked by the two men.
In the blink of an eye, three rays of light fell, revealing two men and one woman.
Among these two men and one woman, one of the men is Lei Changsheng who occupied Tenglong Island.
The other man was a middle-aged man whose eyebrows looked a bit like Lei Changsheng. It was also this man who wielded the long whip. He was a fourth-grade true immortal.
The woman, like Lei Changsheng, is a third-grade true immortal.
"Grandfather! Third uncle!" Lei Qian uttered a sad voice when she saw the three men arriving, and she had already dodged and landed beside them.
"Greetings to the elders of the clan, and to Master Sheng!" Dharma Protector Wang also flew in front of the three people, bowed to the two men first, and then bowed to the woman and said hello: "Dharma Protector Lin."
