The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

Chapter 536 Mahayana Tribulation

As soon as the confinement dissipated, the Red Lotus Spirit, which had been forced back, sensed it immediately.

She deliberately slipped back into the sea of ​​fire, just as Qinglian had done before, and split into countless clones that ran in different directions.

Due to the collapse of the illusion, the elders of various sects who had been scattered across different levels and followed the red lotus light to investigate finally met each other.

What surprised them even more was the sight of different lotus spirits fleeing in various directions above the sea of ​​fire.

The patriarchs of their respective sects all spoke up, saying, "Capture these lotus spirits!"

Qu Jianrou and her brother did not hear Yao Chi's instructions, but remembering her previous instructions, they immediately protected each other and rushed to their master's side through the chaos.

As soon as Yao Chi entered the territory, it stood protectively beside Yun Yi Ci.

Her expression was inscrutable. She asked, "Did Chi Ying possess Ying Xuewu?"

Yun Yici nodded: "Senior Yaochi, there is something I need your help with."

Yao Chi glanced at her two silly disciples who were trying hard to squeeze in.

“I really want to help you, but if you covet Honglian, neither of us will get out of here.”

The confinement dissipated, the lotus shadows vanished, and the dilapidated, lifeless lotus pond outside appeared and disappeared.

They need the red lotus.

Yun Yici glanced at Honglian Lianling, who was being captured repeatedly, and knew that Honglian wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.

But once she makes a promise, she will definitely keep it.

Yun Yici shook her head: "Senior Yaochi, it's not that I'm asking you to help me compete for the Red Lotus, but rather that I'm about to break through to a higher realm, and I need your protection!"

Yao Chi stammered, "You...?"

Above the fusion stage, one progresses to Mahayana, then transcends tribulation.

Is Yun Yici about to undergo a tribulation?

Before Yao Chi could react, a deep purple lightning bolt ripped through the sky above the lotus pond, which had remained calm for many years.

This sudden turn of events caused all the cultivators who were pursuing the Red Lotus Spirit to pause for a moment.

Many people turned around in surprise, only to be brought back to their senses by their ancestor's shout.

"Get away from the minefield immediately! Although the Red Lotus Spirit has a divine fire that accompanies her, she is still afraid of heavenly lightning. As long as we guard this minefield, she won't be able to escape!"

Yao Chi smiled wryly: "Couldn't you just take a couple of steps outside to undergo your tribulation?"

Yun Yici remained silent and settled down cross-legged.

Yao Chi thought to herself, "This is the opportunity that has come; there's nothing I can do about it."

She called out to her two disciples, "Jianrou, Chongyuan, I am protecting Sect Leader Yun, do not come near!"

Qu Jianrou and the other person immediately stopped at a distance, and Yao Chi also left the area of ​​the minefield.

Everyone kept their distance to watch, fearing they might be caught up in the Mahayana lightning tribulation.

As the wind swirled and the clouds rose, countless roots extended from the sea of ​​fire beneath Yun Yici, quietly connecting with her divine consciousness.

"Thank you, Xiao Ci."

Qinglian said cautiously.

It did not die; its roots could communicate secretly when they connected with the meaning of the clouds.

When Yun Yici confronted Ying Xuewu, he said that breaking free from the confinement and escaping was not enough; only by faking his death could he escape.

This is easy for Qinglian, as the lotus flowers in the lotus pond are all manifestations of its Dharma form.

One thought is life, the other thought is death.

Furthermore, since its true form was hidden by the red lotus, it actually managed to deceive those human cultivators for a time.

Yun Yici was startled. She said to Qinglian in her heart, "Why are you here now?"

"My tribulation has not yet begun."

Qinglian said with shame, "You have done so much for us, I can't just stand by and watch you get struck by lightning."

Yun Yici wiped the sweat from his brow, which was covered in lightning, and said, "I didn't intend to be struck by lightning and die."

She just wanted to use this as an excuse to buy enough time for Honglian and Qinglian to secretly carry on their affair.

When she sits in the minefield and gets struck by lightning, half-dead, Langhuan and the others will never suspect her.

Qinglian was moved to tears: "Xiao Ci, don't worry, I will protect your sea of ​​consciousness and repair your body."

Fearing that his good intentions might backfire, Yun Yici quickly said, "Please don't try to repair my body. I have already instructed Senior Yaochi."

As the person and the lotus spoke, the world changed color, and a jet-black thunderbolt suddenly struck down!
