205: Chapter 203: Lin Chen instigated and was sniped when leaving the city!

As she spoke, her gaze fell back on Lin Chen, wanting to see his reaction.

Hearing this, he frowned tightly and said in a deep voice, "This Saint can certainly handle it, but only after breaking through Undergoing Tribulation! If you can stall for some time, allowing this Saint to successfully undergo tribulation, we can definitely escape safely!"

As he spoke, he took out and consumed a top-grade seventh-rank Medicinal Pill obtained from the System's rebate. In an instant, a certain barrier on his body seemed to shatter, and his cultivation soared, surpassing the Soul Transformation Heavenly Human stage and entering the Void Refining realm.

"Everyone, this Saint is about to face the Lightning Tribulation. Please continue to stall for time. Once this Saint breaks through, I will immediately return to save you all!"

Everyone found this strange, wondering how he could return to rescue them given the situation outside.

The Disciple who had initially questioned Lin Chen asked, "Saint, with the situation outside, can you leave this place?"

Lin Chen sneered, "Of course I can. Nie Ling, Mengqing, are you willing to leave with this Saint?"

Nie Ling turned her back on him, and Jun Mengqing sneered, "Either take all of us, or you go by yourself!"

Lin Chen returned with a sneer, "Jun Mengqing, I can only take two people. Make your choice!"

A malicious smile played on his face, his objective clear: he wanted to see them turn against each other in a fight for the escape slots.

But none of the five moved. Although the two Disciples looked like they wanted to speak, they said nothing, knowing in their hearts that the Saint would not take them.

Seeing this, Lin Chen sneered, "Alright! Since you insist, then you all wait here for this Saint. This Saint will definitely come back to save you!"

He deliberately emphasized the word "definitely," as if it were a warning, or perhaps a threat.

During his departure, his movements were slow, but no one paid him any attention, making his actions seem like a joke.

"Hmph!"

He snorted coldly, a flash of spiritual light in his hand, and the Law of space surged. He used a certain secret treasure to open a spatial channel.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, his figure vanished before everyone's eyes, already far away.

Outside the palace, there was the sound of magical power clashing, as if the palace was vying with the monsters outside. Waves of energy radiated, stirring up strong winds outside. Amidst the howling, everyone felt as if all other sounds had disappeared from their ears.

Nie Ling and the two Disciples looked at the terrifying scene outside, their faces somewhat pale, and feelings of confusion and fear arose, making their hearts tremble.

Jun Mengqing also had a solemn expression. Seeing their pale faces, she comforted them, "There's no need to be afraid. I can protect you."

She took out a warm, flawless jade ruyi. As she infused it with magical power, the jade ruyi glowed brightly, condensing a thick shield of magical power.

"Whoosh!"

Magical power surged, enveloping all five of them within an energy barrier. The jade ruyi also suddenly enlarged. Jun Mengqing stepped onto it first, then beckoned for the others to follow.

After Nie Ling and Gu Shengge had all boarded, she quickly formed a hand seal, and a spatial vortex appeared before them.

Jun Mengqing activated the jade ruyi, diving into it, passing through the energy field, and reappearing outside the palace area.

Jun Mengqing glanced at the sky full of black clouds, then activated the jade ruyi again, rushing outwards with everyone.

At the same time, outside the city, Lin Chen had already arrived and met with Zhang Shuya.

"This Saint is about to Breakthrough. After this Saint breaks through, I will naturally go to rescue the Saintess. You all should guard this place and do not go in to rescue!"

Zhang Shuya's gaze deepened, a hint of darkness flashing in her eyes.

"The Saintess should also have her own means to get out, right? Where should we meet her?"

Lin Chen's gaze was grim, "Impossible! They are currently staying in a palace within the city, very safe, and will not come out. If anyone comes out, it must be a monster in disguise. You must be careful!"

After Lin Chen finished speaking, he instantly sped away. Tribulation clouds gathered in the sky; it was almost time for him to undergo tribulation.

Zhang Shuya's eyes flickered as she looked at the Jietian Sect venerables accompanying her.

"Everyone, since the Saint has said so, then we shall wait outside for now, and first await the Saint's Undergoing Tribulation."

The three venerables at the Peak of Soul Transformation Heavenly Human looked at the dense, terrifying black clouds within.

The leader nodded slightly, "Alright, in that case, we shall wait here."

However, their eyes were filled with unresolvable worry. The Saint and Saintess were the future leaders of the Jietian Sect. If either of them were to fall, they could not bear the responsibility.

Especially Jun Mengqing, she was not only the Saintess of the Jietian Sect but also the Young Emperor of Qingqiu. If anything happened to her, they would likely be finished too.

Zhang Shuya was also worried, but thinking of Jun Mengqing's enviable status, and how Lin Chen always called out Jun Mengqing's name whenever he was with her, a pang of jealousy shot through her heart.

At this moment, amidst the dark storm within the city, a streak of green light was particularly conspicuous, constantly breaking through outwards.

As that streak of green light traversed space and suddenly emerged, about to leave the city, they also clearly saw the person. The one leading seemed to be their Saintess, Jun Mengqing!

However, the storm was too chaotic, and it wasn't very clear.

The three venerables' eyes lit up, all very excited.

Zhang Shuya, however, darkened her face, "Everyone, don't forget what the Saint said before he left! The one coming out from inside may not be the Saintess herself. They are still hiding in the palace within the city! How could she come out so quickly! Moreover, the Saintess only left with Gu Shengge and didn't bring any Disciples, but there are people behind her!"

Hearing this, everyone also fell into suspicion.

"Then what should we do?" one of them asked.

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Zhang Shuya's eyes, "These people must be evil beings from within the city disguised, trying to come out and harm us. Stop them!"

As they spoke, Zhang Shuya's magical power surged in her hand, and an incantation seal began to accumulate.

"Three venerables, my strength alone may not be enough to resist. Please lend me a hand!"

The three felt suspicious, but Zhang Shuya was the first to act, so it didn't have much to do with them. They followed suit and attacked.

The three infused their power into Zhang Shuya's body. The magic seal in front became increasingly bright, and the violent energy within it suddenly erupted, unleashing a massive pillar of light directly at the green ruyi that had just emerged.

Jun Mengqing was activating the jade ruyi, and just as she was about to lead everyone out, the energy pillar that suddenly surged forward caught her off guard.

"Boom!"

The jade ruyi was struck, and the energy barrier shattered after a moment's resistance. They were swept by the fierce energy. Although they activated their cultivation to resist immediately, they were still knocked down and failed to leave the city.

At the same time, the monster above the clouds finally found an opportunity, and countless tentacles stabbed down from the clouds.
