Chapter 459: Greatly Shocked

The whipped area instantly split skin and flesh, blood and flesh blurred.

Their faces turned deathly pale, one after another.

A few clan elders dodged with extreme speed, yet in the next instant they saw the black-clad youth's figure.

Their faces filled with fright, they quickly gathered palm power to block the youth's attack.

"Ninefold Moon Fills the Sky." Ying Wuji stood in midair, swinging his sword with one hand.

A heaven-shaking explosion rang out as the sword blade crushed their defense, flinging them all away.

Several elders crashed to the ground, spitting a mouthful of old blood, a clear bloody sword mark still visible on their bodies.

Seeing this, the dozen or so who had been retreating had their pupils constrict in shock, then they rushed to the shore as if fleeing.

Too terrifying!!!

Everyone was shocked by the terrifying power displayed by Xiao Lingwei and Ying Wuji.

"Who are they?!!"

"You actually don't know that the woman holding the whip is our Fusang Island Eldest Miss!"

"Eldest Miss! My goodness! Is the Eldest Miss really this strong?"

"And the other person?!!"

Most people didn't know Ying Wuji.

"That's Ying Wuji!" a cultivator from the Ninth Province recognized the black-clad youth, crying out.

Upon hearing the name Ying Wuji, people first felt it was somewhat familiar, then quickly recalled it.

Someone exclaimed, "Holy cow! Ying Wuji is a disciple of the Thousand Mountain Immortal Lord, hailed as one of the peerless geniuses of the cultivation world!"

At that moment, the cultivator from the Ninth Province showed a shocked expression, "Don't you know that your Fusang Island Eldest Miss is also a disciple of the Thousand Mountain Immortal Lord?!"

Upon hearing this, the Fusang Island residents were all shocked.

Because before this they only knew the Eldest Miss had left Fusang Island since childhood to study under a master, but they didn't know her master was the Thousand Mountain Immortal Lord!

The Ninth Province cultivator was shocked again: "Don't you know that the white-clad young lady is the Thousand Mountain Immortal Lord's most beloved little disciple, Yuan Yao?!"

He even thought they all knew!

Back then, seeing so many people dare to contend with Yuan Yao for the divine beast's egg and dare to oppose Xiao Lingwei and Ying Wuji, he couldn't help but feel a jolt of alarm.

But at the time he still thought these people definitely had some trump card or backing…

Little did he expect they had none at all.

Faces shifted, chills ran down their spines.

At this point, Xiao Jun feigned an apologetic look, let out a light sigh: "Everyone, my daughter acted rashly to protect her junior sister; I hope you can excuse her."

"Also, my daughter is indeed a disciple of the Thousand Mountain Immortal Lord; her childhood name is Ling'er, her full name is Lingwei."

Everyone's expressions varied.

And those who had been whipped by Xiao Lingwei were still wailing and howling.

Because it was too painful.

They felt their bones had been lashed apart, the pain so great they couldn't stand.

Seeing this, Xiao Jun still sent people to help them up.

A clan member spoke up discontentedly: "Island Master, why didn't you say this earlier?"

"You didn't ask either." Xiao Jun blinked, then replied.

That person choked.

A clan elder with a false smile said: "It seems Eldest Miss Xiao's cultivation has broken through to the peak late Nascent Soul Realm; congratulations, Island Master and Madam."

Xiao Qiong Hua took a handkerchief, covered her mouth and smiled: "My Lingwei is untalented; she only broke through to the early Spirit Transformation Realm at nineteen."

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked.

A nineteen-year-old early Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator!

The clan elder's face twitched slightly.

He barely squeezed out a smile, almost gritting his teeth as he said two words: "Congratulations."

And most of the Fusang Island residents congratulated Island Master Xiao Jun and Madam Xiao Qiong Hua with shared pride.

"Congratulations, Island Master! Congratulations, Madam!"

Xiao Jun and Xiao Qiong Hua showed modest expressions, yet they couldn't suppress their smiles.

Meanwhile, Xiao Lingwei and Ying Wuji, after dealing with those who wanted to seize the golden egg, approached the direction where Yuan Yao was.

At this moment, Yuan Yao, Heavenly Snow, Little Fox, and Origin Overlord Heaven were all helping the golden egg share the tribulation lightning's force.

"Yao Yao!"

Upon hearing her second senior sister's voice, Yuan Yao turned her head to glance in the direction where she and Ying Wuji were.

"Second Senior Sister, Youngest Senior Brother! How did you come here?!!"

"We sensed the commotion here and came to check the situation." Never expecting the source of such a huge commotion to be the golden egg contracted by our junior sister.

"Do you need help?" Ying Wuji asked.

Yuan Yao shook her head.

Although the heavenly tribulation was terrifying, she wanted the golden egg to bear it to the utmost extent and transform its power into her own.

If the second senior sister and youngest senior brother joined, it would indeed lessen their burden, but to some extent it would also prevent the golden egg from forging its body to the utmost strength.

Ying Wuji nodded.

"Then be careful."

Xiao Lingwei said: "If you can't hold up, I'll take over."

Yuan Yao returned a smile.

Xiao Lingwei and Ying Wuji retreated a distance.

Xiao Lingwei watched Yuan Yao raise her sword to meet the heavenly tribulation, a faint sour and numb feeling rose in her heart, and she couldn't help but say: "Yao Yao... you can now stand on your own."

Hearing that, Ying Wuji stared deeply at that white figure.

"Mm."

He gave a soft reply.

Ying Wuji took out the token, sent a message to Cang Li, who was guarding by Xiahou Rui's bedside, explaining the origins and letting him rest assured.

After listening, Cang Li replied: "Keep an eye on Yao Yao."

Ying Wuji put away the token, looked at the person beside him, and said: "Second Senior Sister, do you think Xiahou Rui still wants to enter the demon realm?"

Xiao Lingwei pondered briefly, pressed her lips, and said: "I'm not sure either."

Immediately afterward, she seemed to think of something, lifted her gaze to the black-clad youth beside her, and asked: "How exactly did you uncover the Xiahou family's plan to collude with my maternal grandfather? Also, how do you know Xiahou Rui needs demon heaven grass to prolong his life?"

Ying Wuji lowered his eyelashes, speaking vaguely: "I overheard their conversation."

Upon hearing that, Xiao Lingwei also did not suspect anything, because she trusted Ying Wuji greatly.

At this moment—

The heavenly tribulation has already unleashed fifty-seven bolts!

And the golden egg's shell has completely cracked.

The golden egg's body was scorched black all over, its flesh blurred, faintly revealing a dragon-like shape.

Its whole body was scorched black, yet its pupils were golden.

"Ouch ouch ouch!" the golden egg trembled all over from being struck, its qi and blood reversed, spitting blood while dodging behind Yuan Yao.

"We believe you can definitely do it!" Yuan Yao said, reaching out to grab it and pull it in front of her.

Before the golden egg could react, it discovered Yuan Yao was bringing it to collide with the descending heavenly tribulation!

"Ahhh!"

Yuan Yao raised her sword and chopped, saying in a deep voice: "Adjust your breathing, then absorb this heavenly tribulation's power!"

Boom!

One person and one beast were struck by the heavenly tribulation!

Yuan Yao only felt numb all over, wracked with intense pain; her clothes and hair were scorched, traces of blood seeped from the corners of her mouth, she gritted her teeth and kept dragging the golden egg toward the heavenly tribulation.

That frantic vigor made onlookers tremble with fear.
