Chapter 172 I remembered something happy
This sudden turn of events caught all five people present off guard, leaving them unable to react immediately.
By the time they reacted, the dark purple lightning bolt, filled with endless destructive power, had already struck Elder Long squarely.
"boom--!!!"
With a loud bang and Elder Long's scream, he was struck hard by the violent lightning tribulation power.
The spot where he stood was cleaved into a huge crater, and the surrounding area for dozens of miles was reduced to scorched earth by the power of the lightning tribulation.
Elder Long was no longer the ethereal and otherworldly figure he once was, with "everything under control."
Instead, he was struck by that terrifying lightning tribulation, his body charred black, his clothes torn, his hair standing on end, and wisps of smoke still rising from his head.
Those who didn't know better might think these were cotton-picking tools that had just come out of a cotton field in the celestial realm.
"This...this..."
The other three elders who had blocked the remaining power of the lightning tribulation did not hesitate at all and immediately unleashed their immense divine soul power at the peak of the seventh rank.
Their souls were like an invisible net, instantly covering a vast area of tens of thousands of miles.
They tried to search it, hoping to find traces of the attackers.
But no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find any suspicious people.
"There's nothing suspicious about it..."
"There's no fluctuation of any formation either..."
"I've looked in the sky and underground, but there's still nothing..."
After this series of investigations, they basically ruled out the possibility that it was caused by human intervention.
After all, in their view, with their peak seventh-tier divine soul sweeping around, there was nothing that could be hidden from them.
Even those at the peak of the seventh rank could not escape their divine soul detection.
This reflects their confidence in their own powerful spiritual energy.
Since it wasn't done by human intervention, it can only be explained as an accident.
They guessed that the world's consciousness might have gone mad and randomly struck something, which just happened to hit this spot.
Although the probability of this happening is extremely low, there seems to be no better explanation at the moment.
It can't be that someone is manipulating the world's consciousness behind the scenes to unleash a tribulation of lightning, right?
This explanation is even more outrageous than the first one.
At least in their understanding, they had never heard of anyone being able to control the world's consciousness.
When the four of them turned their gazes to Elder Long, who had just crawled out of the giant pit in a disheveled state,
They all instinctively covered their mouths, desperately trying not to laugh out loud.
The other person looked exactly like a walking coal with facial features.
"puff……"
One of the elders, who usually didn't get along with Elder Long, couldn't help but laugh first.
"Ha ha ha ha--!"
Hearing the grating laughter, Elder Long, who was already extremely displeased, withdrew his divine soul power that was still probing the surroundings, and glared angrily at the elder who was laughing heartily.
"Elder Li! What are you laughing at?!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Li quickly wiped the smile off his face and, with a serious expression, said:
"Ahem... It's nothing, I just remembered some happy things."
"What's so exciting?!"
Elder Long's voice was filled with anger as he continued to press for answers.
"My grandson recently got married."
Elder Li spoke without batting an eye.
"Pfft... Hahahaha!"
Another elder couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Elder Long's icy gaze, which seemed to want to kill, turned to the elder who had just laughed.
"Elder Zhang! What are you laughing at again?!"
Elder Long asked in an unfriendly tone.
"My... my grandson also recently got married."
As he said this, the elder tried hard to suppress his laughter.
"You two have the same grandson?!"
Elder Long spoke up instinctively.
"Yes! Hahahaha... No, no, it's the same day we got married..."
"Fuck you! You're all laughing at me!"
……
the other side.
It was only a few dozen miles away from the five people who were already laughing together.
Lin Hanzhou, draped in a jet-black cloak, was silently observing the five people's every move.
The reason he was able to remain undetected by the divine souls of those four peak seventh-tier experts at such close range is that...
He relied on the seventh-tier top-grade cloak magic artifact he was wearing, which was generously sponsored by Huang Xi—the [Curtain of Night]!
This cloak not only perfectly isolates and conceals all traces of one's own presence.
It can even distort the surrounding light and space, making it undetectable by any detection method below the eighth level!
If the distance is greater, even the divine soul detection of an eighth-level expert can be concealed to some extent.
With this cloak, which can be described as a divine artifact, how could the other party possibly find him?
However, to Lin Hanzhou's dismay,
His meticulously planned lightning attack failed to kill his true target—Wang Yuanjie.
The ordinary seventh-order lightning tribulation that struck Elder Long just now was merely a feint; the real killing move was a wisp of purer and more concealed lightning power hidden within it.
This bolt of lightning, which he personally controlled, was aimed at Wang Yuanjie, who was being protected by the four elders.
Because he concealed the lightning tribulation so well, none of the other four elders responsible for guarding it noticed it.
That's why the lightning tribulation did indeed strike Wang Yuanjie just now.
Unfortunately, this terrifying lightning tribulation, which was enough to easily injure any peak seventh-tier expert, vanished without a trace the moment it struck Wang Yuanjie, as if it had disappeared into the sea.
This was clearly due to the power of one of the protective treasures on the other party, which blocked the lightning tribulation for him.
"All I can say is, he truly lives up to his reputation as a spoiled brat."
"This protective treasure is amazing. It withstood a peak seventh-tier lightning tribulation without making a sound."
Lin Hanzhou sighed silently in his heart.
Since his initial plan to use lightning tribulation to launch a sneak attack failed.
So he had no choice but to prepare to implement his second plan.
