Chapter 1142: Lightning tempering the body, refreshing

Seeing the clearly abnormal expressions of Ye Changqing, Venerable Hong, and the others, the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land disciples were clearly panicked.

There was no help for it; they were just a few kittens, and they didn't have any Holy Land Demon Kings or Demon Emperors around. Meeting the Dao One Sect now, the outcome was predictable.

Facing the approaching Venerable Hong and the others, the leading True Dragon disciple was decisive; with a *thump*, he knelt down.

"Seniors above, please accept this junior's bow."

Hmm???

This maneuver actually left Venerable Hong and the others stumped. Xu Jie looked at the True Dragon disciple kneeling on the ground and twitched his mouth.

"Don't you Holy Land disciples all have proud bones? What are you doing?"

"I... I admire the seniors, my legs wouldn't listen to me."

"Heh, as the saying goes, there is gold under a man's knees. You, this..."

"So this disciple intends to take some out to save his life?"

The True Dragon disciple probed. Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Holy crap, there's such a saying?

This kid is interesting. With him doing this, Xu Jie and the others found it hard to strike.

"What is your name?"

"This disciple is Ao Gui."

"That suits you."

Looking at the respectfully kneeling Ao Gui, Xu Jie nodded blankly. His old man truly had foresight; look at the name he gave him.

"What now?"

Turning to look at Ye Changqing and the others, Zhao Zhengping was silent for a moment before saying.

"How about we keep him for now?"

"That works too."

This Ao Gui is interesting; keeping him is fine. Hearing this, Ao Gui finally let out a sigh of relief.

Although "keeping him" didn't sound very comfortable, at least he had saved his life.

As for the Heavenly Dragon Holy Land disciples following him, they weren't so lucky.

These fellows all had proud bones and couldn't do what Ao Gui did.

However, the final result was that they all became ingredients.

"Take an oath."

Having dealt with the other disciples, Xu Jie looked at Ao Gui and said. Hearing this, Ao Gui was stunned.

"What oath?"

"Hey, are you playing dumb?"

"No, no, no, I'm doing it right now. I, Ao Gui..."

Seeing Xu Jie about to strike, Ao Gui immediately swore a Heavenly Dao oath, his attitude as obedient as could be.

Seeing this fellow's obedient appearance, Xu Jie couldn't help but laugh.

"Do you have any secret technique to contact the Holy Land disciples?"

"Uh... to tell you the truth, I've already tried; it's useless inside the Emperor's Tomb."

Ao Gui said with black lines on his forehead. If I could contact the Holy Land, why would it be like this?

Hearing this, Xu Jie was disappointed but didn't say anything. Taking Ao Gui along, the group began to walk toward the depths of the Emperor's Tomb.

For now, they hadn't encountered any danger; the only thing to watch out for was the lightning above.

The power of this lightning was not small; Zhao Zhengping was struck once and was nearly roasted to a crisp.

The group carefully avoided the lightning. Meanwhile, in another lightning area on the perimeter, a group of Western Continent Buddhist disciples and Undying Holy Land disciples were staring in shock at Qin Long, Wan Xiang, and the others.

There were about a dozen of them, all from the Dragon Elephant Peak, and at this moment, they were all bathing in the lightning.

From time to time, they would let out shouts of comfort.

"Hoo, refreshing."

"This lightning is not bad, much better than the Samadhi True Fire."

"It's even more comfortable than going to a brothel."

Listen, just listen to what they are saying.

The lightning they all avoided like the plague was actually refreshing to these Dragon Elephant Peak disciples.

Moreover, every time a bolt of lightning struck, these fellows would actively go to meet it, not only not dodging but even fighting over it.

Just like now, one bolt had just ended, and another fell.

Wan Xiang didn't yield, rushing out in a stride. Seeing this, Qin Long roared.

"Rebellious disciple, do you know what respecting your master means? This lightning is mine!"

"Master is already at the Perfect Completion Realm; I assume these small lightning bolts are useless to you, so why not leave them to this disciple?"

To snatch a bolt of lightning, the master and disciple didn't yield at all.

Watching this scene, the Buddhist and Undying Holy Land disciples felt their scalps go numb.

"Is this lightning... really that refreshing?"

"Should we try?"

Everyone was curious. Could it be that this lightning looks scary but is actually refreshing? And can it temper the body?

Could this be one of the opportunities in the Emperor's Tomb?

With this thought, everyone couldn't help but want to try. Just then, a bolt of lightning happened to strike toward one of the Buddhist disciples.

Seeing this, the disciple didn't know what he was thinking; this time he didn't choose to dodge but was struck squarely by the lightning.

Bathing in the lightning, this disciple didn't feel refreshed like the Dragon Elephant Peak group; instead, he instantly felt like he was going to see the Buddha.

"Holy crap, save me..."

He immediately called for help. Damn it, this group of Dao One Sect animals, they tricked me.

This thought immediately arose in his heart. Where was the refreshing feeling in this lightning?

Naturally, he didn't know that the people of Dragon Elephant Peak tempered their bodies with Samadhi True Fire every single day.

They had long since adapted to that intense pain.

Now facing this lightning, naturally, there was nothing to fear.

Seeing this Buddhist disciple calling for help, others didn't dare to step forward. Finally, a Dragon Elephant Peak Elder, with quick eyes and hands, kicked the fellow out and entered the lightning himself.

"If you don't have the diamond drill, don't try to take on the porcelain work. Get lost."

A perfectly good bolt of lightning, damn it, ruined my mood.
