Chapter 225: Border Crisis Again
Such a huge strange phenomenon appearing in the back mountain naturally alarmed Xie Wanying and Xie Feng.
The mother and son stood in the yard, looking at the sky that seemed like the end of the world. Thick dark clouds rolled in, as gloomy as if it was splashed with thick ink. Dazzling lightning struck a mountain, bursting out countless sparks and debris. The mountain shook violently, as if it could not withstand the impact of this powerful force and was about to collapse.
Both of them had a bad feeling in their hearts.
Xie Jinglan hadn't returned for two days. Zong Zhengyi came back to have dinner with them, then said something happened in the sect and left in a hurry. He wasn't like this before. Could something have happened to Lan'er?
"Mother, this strange phenomenon looks like a thunder tribulation. Judging from the situation, someone should be going through the tribulation." Xie Feng said.
Someone is going through a tribulation! How is this possible? In this Xuanji Sect, the strongest is Zhongli Xiao, whose skills are still at the Nascent Soul stage. How could someone be going through a tribulation?
"Feng'er, since your legs and feet are not convenient for you, just wait here. I'll go and take a look first." Xie Wanying gave him an instruction and flew away.
Before people entered the back mountain, they saw a dazzling beam of light shooting straight into the sky, dispersing the dark clouds, and the thunder and lightning stopped instantly.
At this moment, Zong Zhengyi flew over and asked, "Wanying, why are you here too?"
"What happened in the back mountain just now? Where is Lan'er? Where did she go?" Xie Wanying asked, holding his hand.
"Lan'er is fine..." Zong Zhengyi was not good at lying. Seeing her anxious eyes, he couldn't bear to hide it any longer and told her the truth that Xie Jinglan had entered the forbidden area.
"Lan'er was sucked into the forbidden area? That means those thunder and lightning were coming towards Lan'er?" Xie Wanying shook her body after hearing this.
Lan'er was only at the early Golden Core stage. Even if she advanced, she would only be at the Nascent Soul stage at best. How could she have attracted such a massive thunder tribulation? Was the Heavenly Dao trying to kill her granddaughter?
"Wanying..." Zong Zhengyi quickly supported her. "Lan'er is blessed by fate. She will be fine. Did you see that beam of light just now? It means Lan'er has survived this disaster."
"Take me over to have a look." Xie Wanying calmed herself down. She wanted to go to the forbidden area to take a look herself.
Zong Zhengyi looked at the clear sky and nodded, "Okay, I'll take you there."
When the two arrived at the stone gate of the forbidden area, they saw Zhongli Xiao, Beitang Yuan and several elders had also arrived.
But the stone door remained closed.
"Don't worry, Lan'er has now advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, she will be fine." Zhong Lixiao said to the two.
After hearing his words, Xie Wanying felt less worried.
She looked at the stone gate and it seemed that her granddaughter had turned a disaster into a blessing this time.
But while they waited, another day passed.
The next day, Zhongli Xiao received an urgent letter from Zhu Yichen sent by flying eagle, saying that the joint forces of Nanyang Kingdom and Luofeng Kingdom were coming to attack Yushi Pass again.
The reason they attacked Yuyong Kingdom was that Xie Jinglan was possessed by an evil spirit, so they asked the Emperor of Yuyong to hand over Xie Jinglan and kill her!
Several people's faces darkened.
"It's really a thief crying thief." After hearing the contents of the letter, the third elder was so angry that he smashed a big rock next to him.
"They were clearly colluding with the Shura Sect and the Netherworld Palace, yet they're trying to pin the blame on others! Humph! These two bastard emperors are actually trying to get something from a tiger, using these people to carve up the Yuyong Kingdom. I really want to see what kind of end they'll end up in."
"Let Yuan'er and I go!" Zong Zhengyi said to Zhongli Xiao.
"No! You just stay on the mountain. This time Yuan'er and I will go, and the third and fifth brothers will also come with us." Zhongli Xiao said.
This time the two countries are joining forces to attack Yuyong Kingdom. People from Shura Sect and Nether Palace may appear, and Beitang Yuan and Zong Zhengyi may not be their opponents.
But they couldn't all go, because Linggun Mountain had to be guarded by someone, and Xie Jinglan was still in the forbidden area. They didn't know what the situation was now, so they let Zong Zhengyi and his family stay.
Beitang Yuan looked at the still closed stone door, clenched his fists at his sides, worried about Xie Jinglan's safety, but he had to leave.
He is the crown prince of Yuyong Kingdom, shouldering the responsibilities and expectations of the entire Yuyong Kingdom. Now the country has fallen into an unprecedented predicament, with foreign enemies eyeing it covetously and the situation being precarious. Only Zhu Yichen is guarding there, and he cannot withstand so many masters at all. If he stays here any longer, the country's gate will be breached at any time.
"Yuan'er, let's go!" Zhongli Xiao called him and flew into the sky and left.
The third elder and the fifth elder followed closely behind him.
Beitang Yuan turned around and said to Zong Zhengyi and Xie Wanying, "Lan'er, I'll leave it to you."
"The sect leader said Lan'er is fine, so she must be fine. You can go without worry!" Xie Wanying said.
As the Duke of Li, she was the first to fight in every border war. Now she should also put on armor and go into battle to defend her country, but since Zhongli Xiao arranged for her to stay, she had to stay for the time being.
Beitang Yuan nodded to them and flew to catch up with the people in front.
"This Beitang Yuan is deeply in love with Lan'er." Zong Zhengyi watched him leave and said, "But Lan'er doesn't care much about him emotionally."
He usually saw the two of them going in and out together, and they had been through so many things hand in hand, but he could see that Beitang Yuan was the one who gave more in terms of feelings, his heart and eyes were full of Lan'er, and he put her first in everything.
"It's because of Beitang Hong that Lan'er doesn't want to marry into the royal family again. But it was a marriage bestowed by the Empress Dowager and His Majesty after all, and as a subject I had to accept it." A trace of sadness flashed in Xie Wanying's eyes.
"If I had a choice, I would rather find someone she likes."
"Beitang Yuan is a good boy. Have you forgotten the oath he made in front of us? If he dares to betray Lan'er in the future, I will beat him even if he becomes the emperor in the future." Zong Zhengyi said.
He is Zong Zhengyi's granddaughter, no one can bully her!
********
In the forbidden stone chamber.
Since Xie Jinglan broke through and advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, the spiritual power in her body continued to expand and could not be suppressed at all, so she had to continue breaking through.
The entire mountain was shaking due to the thunder tribulation just now. The Great Elder, Xiao Jinzi, and the little squirrel naturally felt it, but they could only stay here and could do nothing.
On the platform, Xie Jinglan was still wrapped in colorful light. It only took her five hours to go from the early Nascent Soul stage to the middle Nascent Soul stage.
Because of the rich spiritual energy in this stone chamber, the Great Elder's internal injuries have healed, his dantian is burning hot, and he actually has a feeling of being on the verge of a breakthrough. He is extremely happy and starts practicing immediately.
His strength is the same as Zong Zhengyi's. He has been stuck in the Great Perfection of the Golden Core Realm for decades. He has tried countless times to break through to a higher level, but each time ended in failure.
