Chapter 430: Existence is justified

Actually, I overlooked many things last night while in an extremely relaxed mood.

For example, the sentence Liu Junyan said to Hu Yulin: "Xiao Jiu is tired, you're too noisy."

Hu Yulin only went outside after Liu Junyan said that, looked at the sky over Linghai, and then left.

Did he… really leave?

No, he got a hint from Liu Junyan.

"Dragon Bone Blood is what Hu Yulin handed over to me." Li Qingying said, "When I arrived, he was already by the Linghai shore, still wearing last night's clothes."

Indeed.

After Hu Yulin left last night, he didn't return to Yin Mountain but went straight to Linghai.

He originally came out of Yin Mountain to help because his family, the Immortal Clan, observed the celestial signs and said something would happen over in Linghai.

My body trembled slightly, and I realized I really don't care much for Liu Junyan.

Actually, I had asked before about his hundred-year tribulation period, but he brushed me off at the time.

Later I was just busy.

One thing after another happened, each more troublesome than the last, and I actually forgot about this.

Perhaps in my subconscious I thought he was already strong enough; a hundred-year tribulation wouldn't make me so anxious for him.

As it turns out, he's facing the Millennium Great Tribulation!

How could I be so slow!

Actually, signs of this had already appeared early on.

Initially, when Hu Sanmei rescued me to Yin Mountain, she told me that Hu Yulin would undergo tribulation and break through to eight tails.

The cultivation level of a fox immortal is closely tied to the number of its tails.

Eight-Tailed Spirit Foxes are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns.

If it weren't for the Millennium Great Tribulation, such a great opportunity, how could Hu Yulin be so fortunate?

If Hu Yulin faces the Millennium Great Tribulation, how could Liu Junyan not face it as well?

Sooner or later, it will definitely come.

Liu Junyan had previously lamented Hu Yulin's good luck, but this time the tribulation point was in Yin Mountain, and Hu Sanmei gave him the best protection, allowing him to safely pass this tribulation.

But when it came to him himself, his buffs were maxed out.

The tribulation point is in the Linghai Forbidden Ground.

In the Linghai Forbidden Ground, besides the Sword Tomb, there are Liu Mu and Zhong Susu, as well as the Pagoda Formation in the abyss.

Even… the Copper Coin Person might already be inside the Pagoda Formation right now.

Furthermore, when a bolt of heavenly thunder strikes the abyss, a clone will drift out from the Pagoda Formation.

For Liu Junyan's Millennium Great Tribulation, how many heavenly thunderbolts are there? And how could their power compare to ordinary thunder?

By then, the Linghai Forbidden Ground will be in utter chaos.

Can Liu Junyan really withstand it?

The more I think about it, the more uneasy I feel; I wish I could appear in Linghai right now.

Li Qingying stopped me.

Bái Sōnglán also stopped me.

Just then, a clear yet not weak voice suddenly rang out, ringing with authority: "What are you all making a fuss about!"

Everyone was stunned.

At Xijiekou, a woman in a dark green high-slit cheongsam, her slender fingers holding an oil-paper umbrella, was quickly walking over on small quick steps.

Before she even arrived, her fragrance had already reached us.

She stepped onto the platform, walked to the eaves, shook out her oil-paper umbrella, and then turned to look at me.

It was actually Hu Sanmei!

She can finally leave Yin Mountain!

"How come it's just you guys?" Hu Sanmei asked, "Where's Old Fifth Grey? Where's that kid from the Huang family? Call them back immediately, Xiao Jiu, come in with me!"

She was like a family elder, and as soon as she appeared she became my mainstay.

She entered, leaned her oil-paper umbrella against the door, then leisurely reclined on the living-room sofa and waved at me.

I walked over.

She first touched my abdomen and asked, "The little guy is this big already—has he been bothering you?"

I shook my head: "No, I hardly feel anything."

Hu Sanmei nodded, her tone turning stern: "What were you all making a fuss about just now? Even an unborn child has more sense."

Uh…

Hu Sanmei again said, "Seventh Lord faces the Millennium Great Tribulation; this calamity is extremely dangerous—it's not just his personal trial, but also that of the entire Linghai Dragon Clan and the surrounding villages and towns, especially Wufu Town's tribulation!"

Do you know how long those filthy things have been waiting for this opportunity?

They haven't even acted, haven't started causing a ruckus, yet you've already thrown your own formation into chaos!

She paused, growing angrier the more she thought, and scolded together with Liu Junyan.

If I were to say, Seventh Lord is fine in every way—except he's got a love-struck brain!

Back when Ali had an accident, he started acting recklessly; now, at this critical moment, he actually dreams of keeping you and the child locked away in this ivory tower, hiding from you—don't you think that's wishful thinking?

I hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Hu Sanmei glared at me again: "He's not here; you are everyone's mainstay. What you should be doing now isn't accompanying Seventh Lord, but safeguarding the rear for him—do you understand?"

My emotions finally calmed down completely at this moment.

"The Pagoda Formation in the abyss of the Linghai Forbidden Ground is crucial; we cannot estimate how many utterly wicked things will surge out from it in this turmoil."

Hu Sanmei spoke earnestly: "Yes, you've been doing well all along, and you've even already relocated the townspeople of Wufu Town first, but has the crisis in Wufu Town truly been resolved?"

Although I also don't know what will happen next, we Five Blessings Immortals are still receiving incense offerings; back then the evil monk would never have gathered our five families together for no reason—he must have had his purpose, we just haven't been able to fathom it yet.

Hu Sanmei's view on the Five Blessings Immortals coincides with what we've been doing all along.

Liu Junyan has always felt that the Five Blessings Immortals must not be scattered.

Existence is justified.

Even if someone were as wicked as the Old Immortal Huang, only he could die; the position of the Yellow Immortal among the Five Blessings Immortals must be filled by someone as soon as possible.

Huang Fan is exactly how one successfully ascends to that position.

Just then, Hui Moqiong and Huang Fan hurried in from outside.

Thus, the four immortals of the Five Blessings Immortals—Hu, Huang, Hui, and Bai—have all gathered, only lacking the Liu Immortal.

Liu Junyan said he would replace Second Master Liu and occupy the Liu Immortal's position.

"Well, what wind blows you all today? I didn't expect everyone to be here."

"Speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao appears."

Second Master Liu, whom we hadn't seen in a long time, strode in from outside into the Dang Pu.

He wore a purple python robe today, capped with a jade guan, making his whole bearing look extraordinarily noble.

At first glance, our eyes met, and I felt strongly—he had changed.

Formerly, Second Master Liu not only feared Liu Junyan but also feared his father; I had never seen him so… proud and elated.

Hui Moqiong, as if facing a formidable foe, shouted: "How did you come here?! The Dang Pu does not welcome you!"

"Why can't I come?" Second Master Liu replied without yielding, "I hold the Liu Immortal's position among the Five Blessings Immortals, equal to you all; if you can come, I naturally can too!"

Then he turned his head, smiling narrowly at Hu Sanmei: "Third Sister, long time no see, your health is finally restored? I thought that upon seeing such a great Heavenly Tribulation you'd be frightened enough to hide your head and flee."
