Chapter 519: The Forgotten Place

Boom!

Until the fifth lightning strike, within that lightning there were faint silver threads; Jiang Yun Chu clenched her teeth tightly, and a thread of blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

Outside, people shouted and others shed tears, but she couldn't hear any of it; in her mind, only the rumble of thunder remained.

Northern Rong……

Ning Chengyan felt the pressure of heaven and earth, 'Who is undergoing the lightning tribulation?'

Then he realized something, sensing the direction of the lightning tribulation—Jingdu!

A flicker of panic appeared in his eyes. How could this happen? It shouldn't be like this.

Yun chu had just passed the initial stage of spiritual power; how could she need to undergo the lightning tribulation?

At this moment in the south, twelve children suddenly rose to their feet and all looked toward the direction of Da Ning Jingdu, 'The Dean is leaving.'

Kang Nai Xin's voice remained cold and indifferent, as if devoid of any emotion.

But everyone else could hear the loneliness in her voice.

'We train hard; someday we will catch up to the Dean's steps. That Zhongzhou—I've heard about it for a long time; how could we not go wander there?' Ning Hanmo's eyes were cold as he looked toward Ning Jing, and he softly said in his heart, 'Mother, wait for me.'

Jiang Yun Chu's side had already reached the eighth lightning bolt; that lightning had turned golden, a brilliant golden hue.

The thundercloud did not dissipate; instead, it grew even more intense.

'How is it not over yet? How is there still more?' Zhuang Miao watched Yun chu's state; her clothes had been shredded by the lightning, yet the lightning concealed her body.

Yet her pallid face and the crimson blood at her lips remained shocking to behold.

The lightning ravaged her body; everything outside was merely external injury, while her dantian within was in utter chaos.

Jiang Yun Chu lifted her gaze, watching the ever-growing thunderclouds; her fighting spirit surged, and the golden thunderclouds transformed her attire into a golden longsword pointing straight at the clouds.

She leapt up and charged straight into the thunderclouds.

Yun chu—

Jiang Yun Chu! Come down.

Yun chu.

……

Outside, people exclaimed in alarm, while the citizens of Ning Jing all gazed upon the golden figure, as if shrouded in sanctity, they fell to their knees en masse, crying out 'Divine signs!'

When no one was paying attention, the golden thunderclouds had a hint of blood-red.

As Jiang Yun Chu charged in, a bolt of lightning tribulation finally coalesced and struck her directly.

The figure that had just rushed upward was instantly smashed down.

Jiang Yun Chu felt that her five viscera and six bowels were ruined, and her senses seemed to have gone on strike.

That coalesced thundercloud slowly dissipated, but before it vanished completely, a golden bolt of lightning enveloped Jiang Yun Chu.

When the golden light faded, three days had passed; the place where she had originally sat was left with only a large pit, empty of anything.

When she regained her last semblance of reason, Jiang Yun Chu quickly changed clothes, then lost consciousness, feeling only a warm comfort all over, as if basking in sunlight.

Good heavens, what is this?

Is that a person? She's too beautiful!

What crime did she commit? Or whom did she offend? How was she thrown into the Lost Land?

She doesn't look like someone heinously wicked at all.

……

Jiang Yun Chu felt a buzzing all around, too annoying.

But her body ached everywhere; she couldn't even move her fingers.

Good lord, she couldn't already be dead, could she?

After hearing the exclamations, Jiang Yun Chu only wanted to say, 'You're the one who's dead—your whole family is dead…'

But……

She couldn't do it!

That feeling of restraint suddenly vanished, and Jiang Yun Chu jerked her eyes open.

Ah—

A person was sizing her up, then locked eyes with her, frightened and hastily stepped back.

Jiang Yun Chu herself was startled, but her reaction wasn't that strong; instead, she sat up and took in her surroundings.

They were all dressed in rags; the previously chaotic environment now seemed paused, with nobody speaking.

'Miss, what person have you offended? How did you end up in the Lost Land?' An old man approached Jiang Yun Chu, looked her over, and asked gently.

Jiang Yun Chu looked at the old man, 'Offended whom? No one.'

'If you haven't offended anyone, then you must be heinously wicked to enter the Lost Land.' The person who had just been frightened, looking at Jiang Yun Chu, retreated a step, somewhat afraid.

Jiang Yun Chu shook her head. 'Is this the Lost Land? Isn't this Zhongzhou?'

Zhongzhou……

As soon as those two words were spoken, everyone's previously wary expressions shifted to some inexplicable emotion.

'Did you ascend from a small world?' The same gentle old man, his gaze toward Jiang Yun Chu carrying a hint of pity.

'Probably, I don't understand either.' Jiang Yun Chu shook her head.

What on earth is going on? Could I have gone to the wrong place?

But looking at these people's eyes, my current situation probably isn't very lovely.

'This is the Lost Land; although it's also in Zhongzhou, it's a place forgotten by people.'

'What he just said is right—unless you've offended the Divine Palace, or committed a grave mistake, you wouldn't be exiled to the Lost Land.' The old man explained softly.

Then he waved his hand at the people gathered around, 'Everyone, disperse.'

Those people were curious about her, but the old man commanded great prestige; upon hearing his words, everyone dispersed directly.

"The small world has existed for several hundred years, and no one has ascended to Zhongzhou; you are the first person I have heard of." The old man chuckled, and although he was expressing his goodwill, Jiang Yun Chu, having just arrived, remained wary.

She had just arrived; she did not want to, before saving her mother, be directly deceived to the point of leaving no trace of her corpse.

"I don't know; I merely experienced the lightning tribulation, then fainted, and when I woke up, I was here." Jiang Yun Chu blinked her sincere big eyes, appearing as if everything she said was true.

The old man laughed hahaha, his voice carrying a hint of unrestrained abandon.

It is appropriate that you are wary of us.

In the future, you will gradually come to understand this place, and you will know that these people are desperate outlaws who have nothing left, not even caring about life or death.

The old man stroked his white beard and softly said, "Just rest here."

As the words fell, the person had already left the house.

Jiang Yun Chu felt that her mind was still somewhat heavy.

She thought that after the lightning tribulation she would have arrived directly in Zhongzhou, yet why did she end up in some lost place?

Coincidence, or did someone do it intentionally?

If it was intentional, who would it be?

One by one, questions gathered in her mind, waiting for her to slowly unravel this riddle.

However, after experiencing the lightning tribulation and dizziness, her brain now seemed to have stopped working, and she could not control her drowsiness.

While she was thinking, in another room, several people were sitting.
