  Lin Shu frowned and looked at the sky.

  When he crossed his tribulation, the first lightning struck down, and he was convicted of serious cheating and came here.

  If one can complete the tribulation, the Ninth Heavenly Thunder would not be easy according to one’s own cultivation at that time.

  There was silence on the top of the mountain, and only the sound of the pure and embellished zither could be heard continuously.

  Lin Shu was still a little worried about Ling Xiao.

  When the thunder was at its peak, it suddenly stopped for a moment.

  Dead silence.

  The dark clouds rolled in the sky, as if brewing the final blow in the boundless silence.

  The more silent, the more a person’s heart feels like being caught by a cold hand, even the sound of his own heartbeat can be heard.

  All of a sudden, the black cat on Lin Shu’s shoulder gave a long and gentle “meow” cry.

  Lin Shu was about to free his hands to touch it, but unexpectedly the cat went down his body and stepped on the ground.

  It hesitated. First, it looked at Lin Shu, then at Ling Xiao, then at Yun Lan, then looked at the sky, and then it looked back at Lin Shu, one paw went forward, then retracted. After repeating this for several times, it finally slid down to the center of the mountain top platform in a very cautious manner, it sat down and looked up at the sky.

  It was extremely moving.

  It finally decided to cross the tribulation by itself.

  A thousand-year-old cat, Lin Shu doesn’t believe it if its cultivation was not deep.

  But, it was true.

  The sky rumbled loudly, the sound was so loud that people didn’t seem to hear it at all, only their eyes were blackened and their eardrums throbbed with pain.

  The thick purple lightning crashed down, covering the entire mountain top, like a comet attacking the moon.

  Cat: “Meow.”

  A chaotic spiritual power rose from its body and countered the sky lightning which was about to smash down, and the coming of the lightning slowed down.

  Cat: “Meow.”

  The spiritual power continued to accumulate, and the lightning slowed down again, but it still went down firmly.

  Cat: “Meow.”

  The tug of war continues.

  It is true that the cat’s spiritual power has lived up to its thousands of years of Taoism, but the sky lightning is not a good kind, and faintly has the upper hand. No matter how much spiritual power the cat releases, it firmly wants to attack it.

  \r \r \r

  The cat clawed at the ground anxiously, its furtail had already slightly fried up and then looked back at Lin Shu.

  Lin Shu played a light tune to appease it.

  The lightning continued to press down.

  The cat was about to collapse, its paws clawing frantically, blowing up its tail hair, and its voice could be barely heard.

  That layer of spiritual power was gradually swallowed by the sky lightning, it has gradually faded, and was about to be exhausted.

  Ling Xiao’s right hand was pressed on the handle of the knife.

  The cat finally screamed, trying to gather a solid and huge spiritual power again, and took the initiative to strike the sky.

  It couldn’t hold it anymore, but the sky lightning was also at the end of the crossbow. With a ‘bang’, it finally dissipated slowly.

  The cat fainted on the ground.

  Ling Xiao picked it up from the ground and handed it to Lin Shu.

  It was still breathing, it’s okay.

  He didn’t know if it was really the exhaustion of its spiritual power that it passed out, or was frightened and it fainted.

  Lin Shu wanted to laugh.

  In the sky, the dark clouds receded like a tide, and in a blink of an eye it was clear again, and the clouds were even covered with a magnificent golden light.

  When the cat woke up from the coma, it would thoroughly practice its cultivation base to perfection, then settle the cause and effect of the world, and then it can ascend to the immortal world.

  Of course, it borrowed human resources to overcome the tribulation, it has to repay its gratitude to others, I am afraid it will stay in the mortal world for a long time.

  Only the cat knows how much causality it owes. When it wakes up, it will follow the person who owes the most causality.

  The onlookers were all injured, but they were still weak and cheered: “The mountain keeper has good spiritual force!”

  The tribulation was finally over. Although they had just been injured, they were in high spirits.

  This time, they resisted the natural calamity and knew what heavenly tribulation was all about. It was just like everyone was taking the college entrance examination naked, but they have got a god-given opportunity and experienced a simulation, how could they not be happy? Even though they were seriously injured, it was nothing.

  Cang Min came to see the cat and asked Lin Shu, “Is it okay?”

  Lin Shu: “Alive.”

  It was breathing evenly, the body was very warm, nothing serious, just a little heavy.

  Cang Min: “It’s actually a cat”

  The disciples echoed, “Incredible.”

  The Northern Xia had been afraid for so long. Afraid that rash attacks would attract the mysterious and unpredictable thousand-year-old masters in the Huandang Mountain. Unexpectedly, they were afraid of such cowardice and timid black cat.

  “We’ll treat our injury first,” a disciple said, “and wait for this…… Er, the mountain keeper to wake up and take us to the treasure house.”

  They all agreed to sit down and treat their injuries.

  Yun Lan bid them farewell and went down the mountain.

  Lin Shu asked Ling Xiao, “Are you okay?”

  Ling Xiao said: “Not so good.”

  Lin Shu picked out a bottle of three pure Great Recovery Pill in the kit and handed it to Ling Xiao.

  Ling Xiao took it, but didn’t consume it. He put it in his hand and played with the bottle a few times, and said, “I don’t need to take it.”

  Lin Shu said: “Take it.”

  “I’m not going to take it,” Ling Xiao’s voice carried a little bit of a smile, pressed extremely low, and passed into his ears, as if a cat’s claw was scratching, almost to make people excited, “Just play the zither for me. ”

  Lin Shu: “.……”

  Cousin, I think you were trying to pick a quarrel.

  He still refused to take the medicine. This is not good. After all, he was seriously injured.

  Lin Shu hung the cat on his shoulders and freed his hands, intending to find a suitable position to play a healing tune for Ling Xiao, however, Ling Xiao gently pressed his shoulders down.

  He ate a Great Recovery Pill and said, “Don’t move.”

  Lin Shu looked up at him, expressing questions with his eyes.

  But as he saw Ling Xiao’s gaze passing over him and looked towards the crowd, Lin Shu couldn’t describe his expression at this time. He seemed to be smiling, but with some murderous aura, very cruel.

  “The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind,” he heard Ling Xiao said, “The Huandang Mountain is open, and the ancient treasure house can be selected by anyone. Such a grand event……”

  Lin Shu was suddenly shocked and then heard Ling Xiao continued, “The Mountain Keeper was weak and unconscious after the tribulation, and all the disciples were seriously injured. This is a good opportunity from heaven.”

  Lin Shu turned around suddenly.

  On the white jade ground, a few of the disciples who were sitting cross-legged and meditating slowly and stiffly raised their heads to look at them. Their eyes were dull and their faces were gray.

  Living corpses infected by blood poisoning!

  They hissed and jumped on their way!

  At almost the same moment, Ling Xiao’s sword light burst out and woven into a tight barrier of sword Qi and attacked the living corpses.

  Lin Shu hugged the cat tightly, stepped back a few steps. He took advantage of Ling Xiao blocking the living corpse and stood behind him.

  There was no doubt that the target of the living corpses was the cat!

  The cat was the mountain keeper who previously had been ranked among the top warriors of the Southern Xia, and the key to the whole Immortal Palace treasury!

  For Northern Xia, if they take the opportunity to kill it, there would be many benefits.

  If they subdue it, they will become rich overnight.
