"Sect Master, would exchanging with Li Xuan like this cause him to be dissatisfied with our Wu family? And now that Li Xuan has obtained the route to leave Hua Yang Continent, will he leave immediately?"
After Li Xuan departed, Wu Xue frowned slightly and asked Wu Yi Gou.
Wu Yi Gou shook his head upon hearing this, "Before Li Xuan appeared, our several families had privately discussed how to deal with Liu Xuan. But we thought of many methods, and none were feasible."
"The Liu family has controlled our Nine Sects for too long. They are no longer a force that a few families like ours can casually suppress. Now, with Li Xuan's involvement, our chances of winning will greatly increase."
"As for Li Xuan, in two years, he has already reached the intermediate stage of the Life Body realm. Previously, he fled after being heavily injured. Judging from his past actions, where he would even make a move for a spiritual beast, he will certainly not go back on his word about what he promised."
"Furthermore, Li Xuan and Liu Xuan already have a feud between them, so it's reasonable for him to intervene. And Li Xuan actually knows very well that the route map I gave him is not a secret. What I wanted was simply his attitude."
"Alright, let's start preparing now. The fate of the Nine Sects rests on the decisive battle one month from now."
After Wu Yi Gou finished speaking, his gaze slowly shifted to the setting sun outside the great hall, a hint of enthusiasm clearly visible in his eyes.
Beyond Gu Tong City, on a high mountain more than a thousand li away, Li Xuan's figure slowly came to a halt.
Tian Dao Bi said, "Young master, are you truly planning to help the Wu family deal with the Liu family a month from now?"
Li Xuan smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Indeed, Liu Xuan and I have a battle to fight. However, I have no intention of helping the Wu family deal with the Liu family. This battle is merely to seek justice for Ah Jin and Ah Li."
"We have now obtained the route to leave Hua Yang Continent. Once the conflict with Liu Xuan is resolved, we will depart."
Time passed quickly, and half a month flew by in the blink of an eye. During this period, Li Xuan spent almost every day meditating and cultivating. The aura emanating from his body gradually ascended to its peak.
Crack!
On this day, the clear sky suddenly roared with a thunderclap. Then, dark, oppressive clouds began to gather instantly above the mountain where Li Xuan was located.
Li Xuan, who had been sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes. A flash of spiritual light surged from his body, and he shot towards the distant plains. The dark clouds above the mountain followed him almost synchronously.
A moment later, Li Xuan stopped and looked up at the clouds above. He then closed his eyes, awaiting the arrival of the lightning tribulation.
Boom!
In an instant, a tribulation lightning bolt descended from the sky. Li Xuan's expression was extremely calm. Just as the tribulation lightning was about to strike his head, he unleashed a punch. The immense power instantly scattered the tribulation lightning.
Rumble!
With the first tribulation lightning broken, two more tribulation lightning bolts howled down from the sky. The vast expanse of dark clouds seemed to connect heaven and earth.
At this moment, the spiritual light emanating from Li Xuan's body flickered conspicuously.
Two equally bright tribulation lightning bolts struck Li Xuan's body. However, in mere moments, they were dispersed by the radiance around Li Xuan and vanished.
Whoosh!
Simultaneously, with the sound of breaking wind, two figures slowly appeared.
These two were none other than the Wu family patriarch, Wu Yi Gou, and the city lord of Gu Tong City, Wu Xue. However, they kept their distance, as getting too close might cause the lightning tribulation to view them as one, which would be troublesome.
"Senior Li's strength is indeed unfathomable," Wu Xue said, his face filled with admiration as he watched Li Xuan effortlessly withstand five tribulation lightning bolts.
Wu Yi Gou nodded slightly, "There is only the last tribulation lightning remaining. As long as Fellow Daoist Li can withstand it, his breakthrough will be naturally achieved."
As long as Li Xuan broke through to the advanced stage of the Life Body realm, it would be even more advantageous for their Wu family in the decisive battle half a month later.
Crack!
In the sky, the already thinning clouds, accompanied by a deafening thunderclap, began to gather rapidly.
Within less than five breaths, they became even more solid, as if tangible, unleashing an astonishing aura. In the extremely dark surroundings, space itself seemed to struggle, showing signs of cracking.
Seeing this, Wu Yi Gou and Wu Xue both wore grave expressions, clearly sensing the terrifying power of this final tribulation lightning.
Boom!
As it continued to condense, the last tribulation lightning descended with incredible speed. Although it was only a white beam as thick as a thumb, its power was immense.
Even Li Xuan's expression became slightly solemn. With a thought, he activated his full defensive power. The next moment, he unleashed a punch.
"Overlord Fist Unrivaled!"
Bang!
Boom!
The colossal force sent Li Xuan crashing towards the ground. However, less than a meter from the surface, Li Xuan's body slowly came to a halt.
Lightning flickered across his body, and finally, it directly entered Li Xuan's form and dissipated.
As the last tribulation lightning vanished, the dark clouds in the sky dissolved into nothingness. At this moment, a hint of joy appeared in Li Xuan's eyes.
Then, with a change of thought, he sat down cross-legged.
Seeing this, Wu Yi Gou and Wu Xue breathed a sigh of relief.
Clearly, Li Xuan had successfully broken through!
