The sudden ringing of alarm bells shattered the tranquility of the Great Xia Sword Sect!!

In an instant, the elders from various peaks within the sect pulled out red jade slips to transmit messages.

“Attention all disciples on missions!! Return immediately!! Swords are drawn at Tianyu Mountain!”

Within just a few breaths, all disciples at the Foundation Establishment stage and above who were still in the Great Xia Sword Sect flew towards the sect’s plaza on their swords!

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!!

In the hands of the elders from various peaks, beams of Spirit Light appeared!

These beams of Spirit Light expanded with the wind, forming pitch-black platforms, each about ten meters in size.

Precious mid-grade Spirit Stones were embedded in the platforms, causing them to burst into dazzling light!

These five platforms were all teleportation arrays!

All the elders and disciples wore solemn expressions.

With a command from an elder:

“All disciples, enter the arrays immediately. This conflict involves the Purple Sun Hall!”

“Prepare yourselves for battle!”

“Enter the arrays!!”

Nearly a thousand disciples at the Foundation Establishment or Golden Elixir stage showed no signs of fear, flying up on their swords!

At the foot of Tianyu Mountain, Li Nanting ordered his disciples to throw out their jade slips.

With a bang, five jade slips exploded in mid-air!

Instantly, the hidden rune formations within the jade slips appeared, marking the space for the sect’s teleportation arrays.

In a flash, five teleportation arrays, each about ten meters in size, appeared in the courtyard.

Having completed this, the old man could wait no longer and instructed Ye Feng and the others.

“Wait here!”

“Whether it’s the Sect Master or anyone else, head to the Floating Ghost Mountain Range as soon as they arrive!!”

Ye Feng and the others nodded gravely.

But as soon as the old man left, Ye Feng turned and ran, throwing out his long sword and shouting to Lin Dong and another person.

“Wait here, and inform me immediately if there’s any news!”

Lin Dong, eyes filled with worry, shouted, “Where are you going?”

Without looking back, Ye Feng flew on his sword, heading straight for the Purple Sun Hall’s courtyard!

“Huff… huff…”

“Hope the elders of the Purple Sun Hall don’t return too quickly!”

However, when he arrived at the Purple Sun Hall’s courtyard, he found it already surrounded by a crowd of onlookers.

After some inquiries, Ye Feng learned that Li Guanqi had killed two people in this courtyard!!

He also saw the tragic state of the Purple Sun Hall disciples in the courtyard.

“Of the thirty disciples from the Purple Sun Hall, only ten went after him.”

“Thank goodness…”

Ye Feng then began to ask around for the latest updates.

Seeing someone approach to listen, a man eagerly began to speak, spittle flying.

But as the man grew more excited, Ye Feng’s face turned ashen, his expression darkening.

He hadn’t expected the Purple Sun Hall’s disciples to react so quickly!

“They informed their elders from the start…”

“Lingxiao Pavilion… it’s thousands of miles away. Even an Elemental Infant Realm elder would need at least eight hours to get here!”

Ye Feng, deep in thought, suddenly looked up!!

“Not good!! They’re coming back soon!!”

Without further delay, Ye Feng quickly sent a message to Gu Ran.

“Quick, inform Elder Li that the Purple Sun Hall’s people are returning!!”

Gu Ran’s face changed slightly upon receiving the jade slip, and she hurriedly relayed the message to Li Nanting.

Ye Feng then flew directly towards the Floating Ghost Mountain Range, encountering many onlookers along the way.

Their discussions naturally reached his ears.

“That guy’s a madman! He barged into the Purple Sun Hall’s territory and killed two people in front of everyone! Ruthless!”

“Tsk, I heard it’s because the Purple Sun Hall’s disciples severely injured a little girl from the Great Xia Sword Sect.”

“But in my opinion, besides being a dark horse, Li Guanqi is also a fool.”

The person next to him chuckled, “Oh? Why do you say that?”

The man pursed his lips and said softly, “With his strength, he could likely defeat Zhao Beichen. He could have waited to win more glory for the sect before getting angry.”

Hearing this, the man next to him nodded slightly, seemingly agreeing.

Ye Feng listened coldly to these discussions, sneering internally.

“Easy to talk big when it doesn’t happen to you. If it were you, you’d probably lose control just like Old Li!”

Rumble!!

A massive roar echoed, and everyone flying on their swords looked up at the sky.

In the distant sky, hundreds of miles away, it suddenly turned ominously dark.

Within a massive cloud, hundreds of meters wide, purple lightning flickered!!

Ye Feng swallowed hard, murmuring in a daze, “This is… breaking through to the Golden Elixir stage!”

Just arriving at the Floating Ghost Mountain Range, Li Nanting noticed this too, his face darkening as he shot towards the distance like a stream of light!

At the same time, above the Purple Sun Hall’s courtyard at the foot of Tianyu Mountain, a massive, pitch-black rift appeared!!

From the rift, several elders with icy expressions slowly emerged!

Leading them was the white-browed elder, Miao Chuanjiang!

With a cold gaze, the elder scanned the courtyard, then snorted and led his group towards the Floating Ghost Mountain Range without looking back.

Meanwhile, within Li Guanqi’s body, Primordial Energy had already condensed into a rough sphere.

The sphere, about the size of half a head, was gradually solidifying!

Similarly, Zhao Beichen, sitting cross-legged in the sky, was surrounded by golden Primordial Energy.

The Golden Elixir within him was about the size of two fists.

As the thunderclouds in the sky gathered, both were about to face their first Tribulation Crossing!

The Nine Thunder Golden Elixir Tribulation!

As long as they survived the nine bolts of heavenly lightning,

Their Golden Elixirs would absorb the power of the lightning, break through their limits, and enter the ranks of the Golden Elixir stage!

From then on, their lifespans would extend to five hundred years, their Primordial Energy and spiritual sense would greatly increase, and they would enter the state of Inedia, free from mortal sustenance.

They could cast techniques with ease, and even without sword flight, they could travel thousands of miles in a day.

Rumble!!

The tribulations of both men formed simultaneously!

This scene left the onlookers stunned, many guessing that the two undergoing the tribulation were Li Guanqi and Zhao Beichen!

Swish!!

Li Guanqi opened his eyes instantly, looking up at the thunderclouds above him, then flashed hundreds of meters away!!

He stopped only when he was about five hundred meters from Zhao Beichen.

At this moment, he finally saw the thunderclouds above him clearly, and his face darkened. The thunderclouds were nearly twice the size of Zhao Beichen’s!

Rumble!!

The first bolt of heavenly lightning struck down instantly!

A purple lightning bolt, as thick as a wrist, tore through the sky, falling instantly!!

A fierce glint flashed in Li Guanqi’s eyes as he fearlessly raised his sword!!

From afar, the crowd could only see a thin figure charging towards the heavenly lightning with a sword!!

Bang!! Boom!!

With a full-force swing, Li Guanqi shattered the lightning bolt!

With blood-red eyes, Li Guanqi felt a clear killing intent from his Red Lotus Sword!

As if… even the tribulation was nothing to fear!
