Boom!
The Bronze Crane was too fast!
By the ti it finished speaking, its incredibly hard bronze wings had struck sothing, emitting a muffled sound. It directly sent a figure flying.
That figure staggered far into the void, tumbling and unable to control its form.
Then, in an instant, the Bronze Crane rushed to the front of the figure again, relentlessly striking with another sweep of its wing.
"Ah!" the figure ultimately couldn't help but let out a cry, "Bronze... Bronze Crane?"
"Scram!"
Thud!
This ti, the sound was slightly duller, yet it struck the frantically retreating figure again, sending him flying once more.
"Elder Bronze Crane... misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding!" The figure spat out a mouthful of blood, having been injured by the two strikes from the Bronze Crane. Although not severely, he was indeed injured. Yet, he still shouted out about the misunderstanding.
The Demon Lord had just soared into the sky when, on this side, the Bronze Crane had already completed two attacks. Even the Demon Lord was sowhat stunned, unable to believe that this chatty Bronze Crane possessed such formidable strength.
The Bronze Crane hovered in the void, its eyes coldly fixed on the figure, and said sternly, "Guo Family's boy, is it really a misunderstanding?"
Guo Wensheng's scalp almost burst, he never imagined that the legendary Bronze Crane would appear by this person's side. Wasn't this a treasured gem of Lingdan Hall? Could it be...
Suddenly, Guo Wensheng thought of a terrifying possibility. The fact that the Bronze Crane was here ant that Liu Yun must have known about his plan to kill the Demon Lord.
And Liu Yun... was always the object of his brother Guo Wenchang's pursuit. It seed there were rumors of so amorous ties between Liu Yun and Chu Mo.
What exactly was going on?
Guo Wensheng felt his brain was overwheld. He tried to calm himself, bowed to the Bronze Crane and said, "Elder Bronze Crane, this truly is a misunderstanding, my younger self was not aware... that you were here."
"Heh heh, so if Lord Crane weren't here, you'd do as you please?" the Bronze Crane mocked coldly. "Or are you saying you didn't know the relationship between the person you want to kill and Lingdan Hall?"
"My younger self... My younger self really didn't know what kind of relationship this elder has with Lingdan Hall," Guo Wensheng, forcing himself, explained, "My younger self... indeed received... information saying that this person has top-notch martial arts techniques..."
"Nonsense! Lord Crane heard everything you said! What does 'giving your disciple a chance for revenge' an? Don't tell Lord Crane you don't know who his disciple is!" The Bronze Crane stared coldly at Guo Wensheng's hand and said chillingly, "Boy, if you're thinking of deploying a high-level dharma instrunt against Lord Crane, I advise you to abandon that thought; Lord Crane is not comparable to that scrap tal. Don't end up in a situation you can't handle."
Guo Wensheng's mouth twitched, abandoning the idea of employing a dharma instrunt from his body; this Bronze Crane was truly terrifying. Not only was it imnsely powerful, but its spiritual intelligence was off the charts! Many people claid that Lingdan Hall's Bronze Crane wasn't so dharma instrunt at all, but a real ancient creature!
Of course, this was dismissed and even ridiculed by many. What kind of ancient creature could live up to today? Even a suprely powerful being of the Emperor Realm couldn't live for many years. Even if ancient creatures have longevity, it's absolutely impossible for them to have lived from the ancient tis up to today.
Haven't you seen the Drifting Empress, though incredibly talented, only lived three lifetis?
With its mysterious origins and abundant spiritual intelligence, the Bronze Crane made Guo Wensheng feel a strong apprehension and dared not provoke it lightly.
But if he were to just leave like this, he felt unwilling, having gained no advantage and attracting trouble instead. How unlucky could he be?
"Boy, quickly scram far away, Lord Crane, considering the face of so ancestor of your Guo Family, won't make it difficult for you. But a word of advice, don't play with fire. Stay far away from that kid Guo Wenchang; he clearly wants to harm you!" the Bronze Crane said coldly.
Guo Wensheng did not object, but his expression was incredibly dark. He also had a feeling that he might have been slighted by Guo Wenchang. But he couldn't vent his anger, since Guo Wenchang had not lied to him, having told him this person was Chu Mo's master.
It's just that Guo Wenchang didn't tell him Liu Yun opposed this matter!
Missing that sentence was actually quite fatal!
If Guo Wenchang had told him about Liu Yun's stance from the beginning, then perhaps Guo Wensheng wouldn't have dared to trouble the Demon Lord.
Although the Guo Family isn't a small clan, compared to Lingdan Hall, they are far inferior.
"I apologize, Lord Crane, I was reckless this ti," Guo Wensheng, though haughty and proud, wasn't foolish. Seeing there was no point in staying any longer, he felt the urge to retreat.
Lord Crane glanced at him, "You may go."
Guo Wensheng once again bowed to Lord Crane, then cast a disdainful look at the Demon Lord, not bothering to hide his contempt. Although he said nothing, his gaze clearly conveyed the ssage—this ti you were just lucky.
The Demon Lord watched Guo Wensheng with an icy expression but refrained from uttering any harsh words. In his heart, he thought: Once I breakthrough to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, killing soone like you won't be hard at all!
But the Demon Lord knew better than anyone that under these circumstances, swearing oaths was aningless. It was better to quietly strive to elevate his own cultivation. Only strength was the ultimate truth.
Guo Wensheng left.
Lord Crane didn't leave imdiately, as no one knew whether Guo Wensheng might suddenly return in a desperate move.
Three days later, Die entered the Heavenly Immortal Realm. The sky showed strange phenona, and a mighty flow of essence energy surged toward the location of Die's retreat.
Even Lord Crane was startled. He stretched his neck, stating incredulously, "Just reaching the Heavenly Immortal Realm and it caused such a stir, even producing phenona?"
Joy appeared on the Demon Lord's face. Die achieving higher accomplishnts delighted him more than achieving his own.
These phenona and the surging essence energy lasted for half a day, attracting the attention of so cultivators.
Yet, they watched from a distance and did not approach the area.
Who knew who was breaking through here? If they rashly intruded and offended soone formidable, they would be in big trouble.
The Demon Lord also felt the presences, both seen and unseen, in the distance, but he wasn't overly worried. Firstly, Lord Crane was here; secondly... Die had just advanced to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and would surely choose to face the tribulation!
Any unfortunate souls daring to interfere would only bring disaster upon themselves.
Indeed, after Die absorbed all the essence energy of the vicinity, she chose to face the Heavenly Tribulation imdiately!
The phenona in the sky entered her body, imprinting on the dais and becoming her foundation.
The sky quickly changed color, as massive tribulation clouds ford.
The cultivators watching from near and far almost instantly decided to flee.
Anyone who chose to face the tribulation imdiately after a breakthrough, if not a formidable young lord, was certainly not soone they could afford to provoke!
Such were characters to be truly feared!
For cultivators of the Heavenly Realm, they face only one Heavenly Tribulation, which is the one they face when breaking through from the True Immortal to the Emperor Realm.
Beyond that, they would not lightly face any Heavenly Tribulation.
After all, a Heavenly Tribulation is not a matter to be taken lightly.
Crack!
The first bolt of Heavenly Tribulation thunder viciously struck Die's place of retreat.
Then, a figure, ethereal as a fairy, dressed in a robe of red, soared into the air, confronting the heavenly thunder.
