Chapter 1658: Heavenly Punishment

Qian Yu began to struggle frantically, screaming at the top of her lungs, “Do you think you can trap me like this? Do you think a mere tribulation of the Nascent Soul Stage can hold me? You’re dreaming! I am at the Soul Splitting Stage. What is this trifling tribulation to me?”

The golden silk threads began to snap one by one under the struggle from the spiritual power, but Gu Liufeng quickly sent new ones to reinforce them.

The thunder above them was getting closer and closer, carrying an immense pressure capable of destroying everything.

The fear in Qian Yu’s heart became more and more intense. She felt that something was wrong, very wrong.

This thunder tribulation was different from what she had imagined. It seemed to carry the oppressive might of heavenly punishment, making her shiver uncontrollably just from hearing its sound.

A faint smile appeared on Gu Liufeng’s face. His hoarse voice rang in Qian Yu’s ears, “Xi Yue can refine various advanced and best quality pills. I have been stuck at the peak of the Gold Core Stage for a while. I could have broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage long ago. Do you know why I chose not to break through until now?”

Qian Yu’s eyes widened. From her throat came hoarse, piercing screams, “Release me! Gu Liufeng, I command you to let me go at once! Do so, and I… I will tend to your wounds, aid you in saving Xi Yue… just let me go!”

The golden silk snapped once again, accompanied by Qian Yu’s scream, as if she was stepping on the edge between heaven and hell.

Gu Liufeng, as if he hadn’t heard her pleas at all, continued on his own accord, “I’ve been holding back from breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage because, during the breakthrough, I am fated to be consumed by inner demons and face heavenly punishment. It’s because I once killed my own biological father with my own hands. Even though he was no better than a beast, he was still the one who gave me life.”

“As much as I once hated that beast Murong Feng, now I’m so grateful to him! Grateful for giving me the power to perish together with you, for giving me the means to protect Xi Yue!” His hoarse voice echoed in Qian Yu’s ears, yet it sounded like the call of the Grim Reaper from hell, “You think you can withstand this with your strength? Hah, don’t dream! Because this isn’t just a tribulation, it is… heavenly punishment!”

“No—! No—!” Qian Yu’s eyes widened in horror. She kept letting out broken and sharp screams.

This lunatic has completely gone bad. He is summoning the heavenly punishment to die with me!

Doesn’t he know that the inner demons will be wiped out by heavenly punishment? Doesn’t he know that if his soul is shattered by heavenly punishment, he will fall into hell forever and cannot be reincarnated?

“Boom—!!“

Dazzling lightning pierced the night sky and struck this fragile but tenacious land.

Dust churned and grass clippings flew about as the mournful cries and sharp screams gradually receded into the distance, disappearing into the boundless black night.

Xi Yue, the only master I acknowledge, I hope you live on in peace! Please, you must live on happily and safely!

…

“Qingchuo, what’s wrong? Why are you crying?”

At the banquet at the King of Hell Mansion, Shen Sen was surprised when he saw the face of his niece suddenly crying.

Shen Qingchuo wiped the tears from her face somewhat blankly, as if the heartache and despair still lingered in her eyes.

“Liu Feng… Liu Feng…” A low murmur of pain escaped from her mouth.

Suddenly, Shen Qingchuo stood up and said anxiously, “Uncle, where is Nangong Yu? Why haven’t we seen the groom for so long? Why are Gu Liufeng and the others missing too?”

Shen Sen also frowned when he heard this. He looked around and saw that Gu Liufeng, Ouyang Haoxuan, and Qing Long were nowhere to be found.
