    Chapter 66

    Sui Chunsheng noticed the golden lightning raining down. The young immortal beside him couldn’t help but show a trace of fear, but still stood with him, unwilling to retreat in the slightest.

    His heart paused, and he raised the Tansue Sword in his hand.

    The young man let out a tearing roar, and a soaring aura burst from the sword’s body. Snow and wind from all directions rapidly gathered towards the sword, even the snowflakes in the sky that hadn’t yet fallen also flew towards it.

    From the sky, it looked as if all the wind and snow were gathering towards them, like a huge, snow-white hibiscus blooming in front of the gates of Fangcun Mountain.

    This snow-white flower seemed soft, but it could withstand the successive golden lightning strikes.

    Yong Lan couldn’t help but shout, “Little Immortal! You’re so cool!”

    Sui Chunsheng gritted his teeth and said, “Go first, you guys go first, leave here, leave!”

    “Go!”

    Si Feng said, “What about you?”

    Sui Chunsheng: “I have a way, go!”

    Yue Shanglan reacted, “You bunch of kids, hurry up and go!”

    The group of teenagers then reacted. Led by their elder brothers and sisters, they fled out of the Golden Thunder Formation.

    Yue Shanglan suddenly struck Wugen beside him with a palm, knocking him unconscious, and shouted to his mother, “Mother! Take Little Wood away!”

    At this time, under the Golden Thunder Formation, only Yue Shanglan and the master and disciple were left.

    The disciples of the major immortal sects returned to the clouds in the sky, almost simultaneously looking at the Heavenly Lord old man in the high seat.

    Heavenly Lord Qing Sheng’s expression was even more gloomy. The Golden Thunder Formation under his control expanded even more, leaving no way out.

    The snow-white flower finally couldn’t hold on. As the young man’s trembling arms shattered, it scattered with the wind.

    The golden lightning struck the young man at that moment.

    Almost instinctively, Sui Chunsheng protected the White Deer Immortal, Tan Zhui, in his arms, and used a layer of Xiu Luo power to tightly protect him.

    The intense pain began to blur his consciousness.

    It hurts so much, why does it hurt so much.

    The young man’s brows furrowed tightly, and his gums were already numb from being bitten.

    He seemed to smell a burnt smell, as if his flesh had cooked.

    Until he felt the pure spiritual power that rushed towards him, enveloping his whole body, continuously and slowly seeping into his skin.

    He suddenly opened his eyes, and saw a white deer raise its head, letting out a defiant neigh towards the Golden Thunder Formation in the sky.

    His arms were already empty.

    The young man subconsciously reached out his hand, “Master!”

    The Golden Thunder Formation shattered under the white deer’s defiant neigh.

    He seemed to have exhausted all his strength, turning into a ray of light and falling down. The young man instinctively reached out to catch him.

    Tan Zhui leaned on his shoulder, his eyes slightly closed.

    “The divine lord is awake! It’s the divine lord!” Zhou You hurriedly said.

    Yue Shanglan had fainted, his body almost covered in wounds.

    Immortal Ling Miao immediately noticed, and she shouted, “A’lan!”

    Only when she saw the rise and fall of Yue Shanglan’s chest did her tense heart relax, but she could no longer hold back her tears.

    Immortal Ling Miao said angrily, “Does the Heavenly Lord want to kill my son and Little White together before he’ll give up?!”

    The questioned Heavenly Lord’s face darkened. The generals behind him were about to rush forward.

    Heavenly Lord Qing Sheng said sternly, “Withdraw.”

    The generals then obediently continued to guard his side.

    Ling Miao shouted, “Let him come. Is Ling Miao afraid? If you have the ability, exterminate our major immortal sects together!”

    Elder Zhou You quickly soothed her, “Immortal, calm down, be careful what you say…”

    As he spoke, he hurriedly pulled Ling Miao down, not forgetting to stuff her with a few calming pills.

    Heavenly Lord Qing Sheng’s face was very ugly, but he still lowered his eyes to look at the blood-robed divine lord.

    “Divine Lord, you deceived this Lord that Hibiscus was dead. Now he has seriously injured you and intends to kidnap you. This Lord almost failed to stop him. Now that the Divine Lord has awakened, should you give this Lord an explanation?”

    Tan Zhui’s breathing was a little unstable. He struggled to stand up straight.

    “Hibiscus is my disciple. I have always… cared for him in every way, and was reluctant… to harm him in the slightest… So, I concealed the truth. But this time, the attack on Fangcun Mountain has nothing to do with Hibiscus. Please, Heavenly Lord, let him go. Let him leave.”

    Sui Chunsheng immediately said, “Master, I won’t leave you!”

    “You’re not allowed, you’re not allowed to abandon me again!”

    Heavenly Lord Qing Sheng couldn’t help but snort, “This Xiu Luo demon is unrepentant and will likely entangle you in every way. Even if this attack wasn’t his doing, he can’t be free of blame. The Xiu Luo Clan are best at bewitching hearts, Divine Lord, don’t be deceived.”

    Tan Zhui looked at the young man, seeing his body covered in wounds, he couldn’t help but feel a pang in his heart.

    He was silent for a long time before saying, “If that is so, I will drive him off the mountain gate and suppress him in You Ming Land, and never see him again. I will also blind myself as punishment. In this way, Heavenly Lord can rest assured.”

    The Heavenly Lord hesitated for a moment and couldn’t help but say, “Divine Lord is quite willing to sacrifice.”

    Tan Zhui looked at the young man, meeting his already tearful eyes.

    “Hibiscus, live.”

    The next second, Tan Zhui swung his sword and injured his own eyes. Two strands of fiery red light imperceptibly pierced into the young man’s eyes.

    In an instant, the young man’s vision cleared.

    Sui Chunsheng’s body trembled, and he cried out heartbreakingly, “Master! Don’t!—”

    Everyone gasped.

    The White Deer Immortal closed his eyes, and two streaks of blood trickled down his pure white cheeks.

    The young man desperately grabbed his sleeve, “I don’t want this, I don’t want this—”

    “You know, you know, you clearly know! You know I love you, you know I love you, I love you, ah, I love you…”

    “You know I will die, you know!”

    The young man was in tears, clinging tightly to his sleeve.

    “Master, let’s go together, okay?”

    The young man’s heartfelt words burst out at this moment, and his cries echoed through the air.

    The clouds in the sky were in shock, all doubting their own ears.

    When they came to their senses, many outrageous, absurd curses poured out towards the young man like rapid snowflakes.

    Heavenly Lord Qing Sheng roared, “Impudent disciple! How dare you have such designs on the divine lord!”

    The young man didn’t care at all. He looked at Tan Zhui, begging him for an answer.

    Tan Zhui couldn’t bear it. He groped and reached out his hand to touch the young man’s hair.

    He then said, “Since you are so stubborn, today I will expel you from the sect. Your fate is in your own hands. We shall not meet again!”

    Hibiscus, don’t blame your master.

    Good Hibiscus, go. Go to where you should go, and live well.

    The next second, the Fu Shou Sword pierced into the young man’s chest.

    Sui Chunsheng’s eyes widened, and he subconsciously murmured, “Master…”

    But the next second, the pure and graceful immortal turned his hand and struck him down the mountain gate.

    He desperately tried to grab that sleeve, hot blood gushing out of his throat, making him unable to utter a sound.

    The young man fell down the cloud steps, and everything before his eyes blurred.

    It hurts so much, why does it hurt so much, why does it hurt more than countless strikes of golden lightning…

    A tear slid down his cheek, scattering into the clouds.

    He fell from the Nine Heavens like this, completely forgetting to save himself.

    “If I just die like this, will you remember me forever?” he thought.

    Tan Zhui couldn’t see the young man, but he could no longer feel the young man’s aura. His eyelashes trembled slightly.

    The immortals on the cloud steps in the sky hadn’t yet reacted, all stunned in place.

    Tan Zhui stood in front of the mountain gate for a long time, the bloodstains on his face seeming to have dried.

    He groped, then bent over to check on Yue Shanglan who had fainted beside him. He stuffed a few pills into his mouth and transmitted his spiritual power for a long time before the man’s eyelids began to tremble slightly.

    Immortal Ling Miao rushed forward to check, and Elder Zhou You followed closely behind.

    Everyone gradually reacted. It seemed that they were all sighing that the White Deer Immortal’s heart was as hard as stone, just throwing his beloved disciple of five hundred years down from the Nine Heavens.

    That sword had pierced right through his chest and he had fallen from the Nine Heavens.

    Who knows how much luck it would take to survive such an ordeal?

    The Heavenly Lord old man seemed to think so too. He casually waved his sleeve and left with his million heavenly soldiers, not forgetting to leave the medicine immortal and the happiness immortal beside him to treat the immortal disciples.

    Tan Zhui looked at the departing figure, his expression seeming a little colder.

    The moment Yue Shanglan opened his eyes, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

    Immortal Ling Miao subconsciously hit him twice, cursing, “You brat, you scared your mother to death!”

    Yue Shanglan quickly cried out in pain and coughed, “Mother! Mother! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!!!”

    Ling Miao then reacted and restrained herself slightly.

    Elder Zhou You bandaged him and said softly, “The divine lord protected the immortal with one hand, otherwise, I’m afraid his internal organs would have been crushed to bits. Fortunately, there are no major problems at the moment.”

    Yue Shanglan couldn’t help but smile, “I knew it. A’zhui definitely wouldn’t let me die. A’zhui wouldn’t let anyone die…”

    He looked around, and seemed to have reacted. He couldn’t help but say, “What about Little Chunsheng?”

    As he spoke, he noticed a few pieces of black charcoal nearby, and couldn’t help but shout, “Ah!!!”

    “He wouldn’t have been… shattered into pieces, right?”

    Everyone didn’t know how to answer. After all, it might have really turned into pieces, but not by being struck by lightning, but by being thrown.

    Yue Shanglan could guess the gist from everyone’s expressions.

    He subconsciously looked at the blood-robed immortal behind the crowd, and suddenly noticed his eyes!

    “A’zhui! You!—” Yue Shanglan’s eyes immediately reddened, and he almost cried.

    An immortal who had been watching the show on the cloud steps couldn’t help but say, “That Xiu Luo demon? He was already killed by the divine lord! He was pierced through the chest by a sword and thrown down from the Nine Heavens. He’s probably already turned into a wisp of smoke.”

    It was unknown who, but someone laughed along with him.

    Yue Shanglan was stunned for a moment, then quickly looked at Tan Zhui’s expression.

    The White Deer Immortal’s face didn’t relax, and was almost expressionless.

    Yue Shanglan was already angry. Hearing someone say this, he couldn’t bear it anymore. He tried to drag his wounded body up and shout at him, “Get lost! Get lost immediately! If you keep chattering, I’ll kill you!”

    That immortal was shocked and quickly said, “You’re so unreasonable! I kindly told you, yet you’re scolding me! Is this your upbringing?!”

    Immortal Ling Miao immediately stood up and pointed at him, “To hell with your upbringing! Didn’t you hear what my son said?!”

    Yong Lan also shouted, “Get lost! My master told you to get lost!!!”

    Everyone else started cursing along.

    The immortals who had been watching the show on the cloud steps were almost drowned in saliva, and they quickly waved their sleeves and ran away, not forgetting to curse the others as ill-mannered as they went.

    Yue Shanglan then went to grab Tan Zhui’s hand, and he said softly, “A’zhui, you…”

    Tan Zhui forced a smile, “Thank you, A’lan. I’m fine.”

    “I want to rest. I’m so tired…”

    As he spoke, he slowly turned around and walked towards the depths of the mountains.

    On the way, he almost fell several times because he couldn’t see, bumping into things.

    Wugen quickly followed and went to support him.

    Tan Zhui smiled and said softly, “Good child, you’re really giving me trouble.”

    Wugen shook his head, “I was created by the divine lord. I will never leave when the divine lord needs me.”

    He supported the White Deer Immortal and led him into Fangcun Mountain.

    The moment the mountain gate closed again, everyone outside couldn’t help but feel a pang of sorrow in their hearts.

    That departing figure, at this moment, seemed so thin, so frail, so on the verge of collapse.
