Seeing this situation, everyone present except Luo Bingbing was stunned, frozen in place, and they even forgot to scream.
Those who were timid yet loved to meddle, hiding in corners or behind their own doors, secretly watched as the overweight Fatty was suddenly struck by lightning and turned to charcoal. They couldn't help but cheer and shout in their hearts, some even jumping up in excitement.
The suffering commoners couldn't help but think, "Heaven truly has eyes!"
Those who usually associated closely with Fatty, often bullying the poor and oppressing the common people, felt a deep fear upon witnessing his death by lightning. They were afraid of divine retribution, worried that they too might be struck down like him and meet the same charred fate.
The stunned Shadowless quickly regained composure and turned to look at Luo Bingbing. He saw her calmly sitting on the Back of the Horse, as if she had known all along that the man would be struck by lightning. Seeing the Little One so composed made Shadowless feel he had overreacted. He slightly raised an eyebrow and said to the Little One on the Back of the Horse, "Master, he has been struck dead by lightning. What should we...?"
Before Shadowless could finish his sentence, Luo Bingbing waved her hand to stop him. The Little One on the Back of the Horse smiled slightly and said slowly, "Good deeds are rewarded with good, evil deeds with evil; it's not that there is no retribution, just that the time has not come. When the time comes, it will be repaid. Shadowless, let’s go!" With that, Luo Bingbing spurred her horse forward without caring about the expressions of those behind her.
The young woman in the basket who had been petrified suddenly woke up upon hearing Luo Bingbing's words. Seeing that the bully who had forced her to return as his twenty-ninth concubine was struck dead by lightning filled her with mixed emotions of joy and fear.
She was happy that the bully had received divine punishment and was dead, ensuring her safety from becoming his concubine; yet she feared that his family might come after her or that she might face legal troubles.
Despite her chaotic thoughts and uncertainty about what to do, she quickly ran back home when she saw Luo Bingbing and Shadowless riding away.
The housekeeper of Fatty only regained his senses after the young woman left. Upon seeing his young master dead from lightning and realizing that both the young woman and those who had harmed his master were gone, he felt immense fear and didn't know what to do. Unsure how to report back to their employer, they remained lying on the ground until someone sent by Li Yuanwai came to pull them back.
Li Yuanwai was furious upon seeing his son dead from lightning but felt powerless. He had no idea where Luo Bingbing and the young woman had gone or where to find them; thus, he vented his anger on the housekeepers.
Luo Bingbing thought that her casually unleashed Thunderbolt Ability was unknown to anyone else; she believed that the commoners merely thought it was a natural occurrence of thunder from above. Little did she know that mere seconds after activating her Ability, a Phoenix egg as large as a goose egg in the Entrance Cave of Spirit Mountain Forbidden Area began to crack open. The phoenix inside, which had not hatched for centuries, seemed to be awakened by the lightning she inadvertently summoned.
The Xuan Ye Elder, who had guarded this Phoenix Egg for nearly sixty years in the Entrance Cave, sensed a strong vibration coming from it and quickly opened his eyes.
Upon seeing numerous cracks appear on the Phoenix Egg's surface, he realized that after decades of guarding it, it was finally about to hatch. He understood that his mission of watching over the Phoenix Egg would conclude with this generation; the Divine Star from another world had descended into this realm, and he would soon descend from the mountain to seek her out.
He did not know how many generations this Phoenix Egg had passed through or how many years it had been kept in this Entrance Cave of Spirit Mountain Forbidden Area. He only remembered being told by his master at five years old that he was chosen as this generation's guardian of the egg and was brought to the entrance of the forbidden area where he was handed over to Master Uncle who protected it at that time.
From then on, he stayed in the forbidden area, training under Master Uncle while learning mysterious Mystical Arts. After Master Uncle passed away a century later, he became the sole guardian of this forbidden area.
Having not stepped outside for decades, he had grown accustomed to life in this Entrance Cave. The thought of descending from the mountain made him furrow his brows deeply. Having become used to living alone in this cave within the forbidden area, he truly did not want to leave.
But thinking of Master Uncle's last words, he slowly let go and came to terms with it. Since the Divine Star from the Otherworld is here to protect this realm, what harm could there be in descending the mountain to assist her?
His thoughts began to drift away, while the Phoenix Egg before him continued to crack, revealing the unknown Phoenix inside that was about to hatch.
After a while, the Phoenix Egg emitted a loud cracking sound, and with that sound, the round shell split in two.
The first thing to emerge was a small, pointed beak, followed by a damp head, and finally, a black and wet body.
Seeing this small black Phoenix, Xuan Ye was taken aback. Wasn't the legendary Phoenix supposed to be colorful and beautiful? Why did this one look so dark?
Just as he was pondering this, the Phoenix before him underwent a dramatic transformation.
Suddenly, flames erupted around it. Seeing the fire engulfing the Phoenix, Xuan Ye rushed forward to extinguish it, but before he could even start, the flames vanished in an instant.
Inside, the Phoenix had changed completely; it was no longer that ugly black figure. Its feathers transformed into vibrant colors, and it seemed to have grown taller, looking exceptionally beautiful.
Seeing the Phoenix in this state, Xuan Ye nodded in approval and thought to himself, "Now that's the legendary Phoenix!"
After this fiery rebirth, the Phoenix seemed to gain consciousness. It glanced at Xuan Ye and swiftly flew onto his shoulder. Xuan Ye affectionately stroked the Phoenix and then began gathering his belongings, preparing to observe the celestial phenomena that night to determine where the Divine Star from the Otherworld had descended in this world so he could search in that direction after descending the mountain.
That evening, he carefully observed the celestial phenomena and determined that the Divine Star from the Otherworld had landed near Silver City in Silver Moon Kingdom.
With a clear direction in mind, he quickly packed his clothes. Once organized, he rang the great bell at the Forbidden Land to summon all disciples of Spirit Mountain to gather at its entrance.
The Forbidden Land had been part of Spirit Mountain for countless years and was of utmost importance. Therefore, the position of Guardian of the Forbidden Land was even higher than that of Spirit Mountain Sect Leader. There was also a crucial rule on Spirit Mountain: any disciple who heard the bell summoning them must go to the entrance of the Forbidden Land and unconditionally obey the orders of the Guardian of the Forbidden Land.
Usually, not only were outsiders prohibited from entering the Spirit Mountain Forbidden Area, but even its Guardian could not leave until after the Phoenix had hatched.
Upon hearing the summons from the Forbidden Land's bell, several Spirit Mountain Disciples quickly ran toward its entrance.
When Guardian of the Forbidden Land Xuan Ye arrived at the entrance and opened its door, he saw several younger Spirit Mountain Disciples standing outside. However, he did not recognize any of them as they were all relatively junior disciples.
The young disciples also did not know who he was; they only knew he was their Guardian and that they must obey his commands without question.
Xuan Ye observed these Spirit Mountain Disciples one by one before slowly asking, "Who is your master? Where is the current Spirit Mountain Sect Leader?"
The Spirit Mountain Disciples exchanged glances upon hearing his question, and finally, one of them, dressed in white and appearing older, seemingly the eldest disciple among them, spoke up.
"In response to Master Uncle, our masters are Qing Yuanzi and Jin Mingzi, and the current Spirit Mountain Sect Leader is our Master Uncle, Snow Spirit Elder. Our masters went down the mountain for business half a month ago and said they would return tomorrow. As for Master Uncle, he descended the mountain over three months ago, and we do not know where he is wandering now."
Upon hearing the words of the Spirit Mountain Disciple, Xuan Ye raised an eyebrow slightly and said calmly, "My mission at Spirit Mountain, which has lasted for a thousand years, is finally complete today. The Divine Star from the Otherworld has descended into this world. Tomorrow, Old Man will descend the mountain to seek the Divine Star that has come from the Otherworld. You must not speak of this matter outside; keep it to yourselves. When your masters return tomorrow, have them come here to see me quickly. For now, you should go back and rest!" After finishing his words, he turned and returned to the Entrance Cave within the forbidden area to rest.
As soon as he entered the forbidden area, the great door emitted a loud rumble and closed automatically. The remaining Disciples of Ling Mountain stood there in a daze, looking at each other. However, they did not remain in confusion for long before dispersing to return to their rooms to rest.
Time flew by swiftly! Before long, it was the next day.
At dawn, two disciples from the Spirit Mountain arrived at the foot of Ling Mountain to wait for their masters.
Under the scorching sun and gentle breeze, the two Spirit Mountain Disciples waited in the shade of a large pine tree for their masters. As they were basking in the sun on the mountain top, their masters' figures finally appeared in their sight.
Seeing that their masters had finally returned, they rushed forward excitedly while shouting loudly, "Master! Master! You have finally returned! Something big has happened at Ling Mountain!"
Upon hearing their little disciples mention that something significant had occurred at Ling Mountain, Qing Yuanzi and Jin Mingzi immediately asked loudly, "What happened on the mountain? What’s going on?"
"The Guardian of the Forbidden Land Master Uncle came out last night and instructed us to tell you that when you return, you should go to the entrance of the forbidden area to meet him," replied both Spirit Mountain Disciples in unison.
After hearing their little disciples' words, Qing Yuanzi and Jin Mingzi felt extremely excited and could hardly wait to head straight to the entrance of the forbidden area to meet Guardian of the Forbidden Land Xuan Ye. The four of them maximized their martial arts skills and rushed towards the entrance of the forbidden area at full speed.
