RETURN OF THE RULER

76. Water Dragon (Long Zhi) and strange Phenomenon

Yang Xuan arrived at the easternmost region of the east wind sect, he knew from Shen Dili there were still four sects in the region. However, the average sect master and his inner disciple and elite disciple were already killed for helping the Cao clan and the forbidden forest.

It didn't take long for Yang Xuan to destroy the three sects since the sect only left a few elders and outer disciples alone.

However, one more sect seemed like the three of them had a hard time looking for him, as already Yang Xuan had gone back and forth several times while circling the region.

"Dragon water, Baihu, check south, I'll head north, if you find anything strange let me know or if you find the sect quickly send a message." yang Xuan's Command

"Okay sir" replied the water dragon.

"Why didn't you give him a name...? Doesn't calling his name Naga seem a bit awkward." Baihu proposed.

All this time Baihu did not know how to call the Water Dragon by what name. If he called it the Dragon, it was the same as him offending the Water Dragon.

"You're right Baihu," while patting his eel.

Yang Xuan forgot to name the Water Dragon, probably because it was too focused to deal with the problems that occurred, so he did not have time to think until then.

"Water dragon, from now on your name is Long Zhi. Do you like that name...?"

"Good name sir, I really like it" replied the water dragon.

"Well, now go and stay alert." Yang Xuan was going to look for Cao Bun first he seemed to have lost track.

"Okay sir" the two replied as they walked away.

After the departure of Long Zhi and Baihu, Yang Xuan entered the continent sealing ring and instantly appeared in the eastern region, she immediately headed to the prison to interrogate Shen Dili for already daring to lie to him.

When Yang Xuan arrived in front of the black prison, terrified faces were shown by all the prisoners. The aura of oppression was directly directed at Yang Xuan towards them, hatred had not disappeared from him, let alone after seeing Cao Lhu.

"Say, why are you lying to me...?" yang Xuan shouted while burning Shen Dili's body.

Shen Dili cried out in pain as her entire skin had already peeled off. The pain she felt was even truly overwhelming, as Yang Xuan locked onto the cultivation of those prisoners including Shen Dili.

"Say." with a wrathful face.

"Master, the eastern sword sect is not far from the black wolf sect, about ten miles to the south" Shen Dili replied, even his voice was barely audible.

"It should be good from yesterday that you answered him correctly" Yang Xuan said as he pulled Cao Ihu out of prison and took him from there to be tortured.

Elsewhere

The moment Long Zhi and Baihu arrived at the southern region of the eastern sword sect. They were greeted with a strange phenomenon, even they both stopped and noticed the black clouds above the sky.

Black clouds covered the eastern sky region and as far as the eye looked up the sky there was no longer a blue horizon or white clouds in sight, the wind blew strong accompanied by flashes of lightning that continued to split the black cloud. The sound of thunder adorned the sky of the eastern region as lightning gathered its strength.

"Long Zhi quickly send a message to, Sir." Shouted Baihu with a trembling voice. The boar already knew the phenomenon that would occur.

"Good.... " Long Zhi replied as she took out Yang Xuan's awarding badge and directly sent a message.

"Do you know what's going on in this area...?" long Zhi asked curiously. He had never seen this phenomenon. Actually as coming from the dragon tribe it was quite awkward.

"Yes, I know. Otherwise one of these strange phenomena is the wrath of the heavens or the lightning of tribulation, said Tuan." Baihu replied.

"Let's check, we find out who got the wrath of the sky." proposed Long Zhi. Actually he had heard about the lightning tribulation only he had never witnessed it in person.

"Well.." replied Baihu.

The Long Yue Company

By the morning Long Yue's side had already arrived at the eastern wind sect territory, their journey had found no obstacle, either, because Long Yue brought his entourage through a secret path through two small villages and one already sizable village in the southern part of the east wind sect.

Long Yue's entourage was about a hundred thousand more, even so their journey was undetectable by the east wind sect party, but what they didn't know was that Yang Xuan placed a black eagle to watch over their journey.

Even so far, the black eagle had already killed around fifty spies sent by the east wind sect party, unbeknownst to Long Yue and his entourage.

"Sister-in-law, are we still far away...?" Lin Mei asked as their entourage had already started to get exhausted.

"We're close and we'd better rest after we get to the hill, waiting for instructions from your nephew, since the formation has been set up by your nephew in that place." long Yue replied while pointing at a hill that was in front of them.

"Okay, sister." replied Lin Mei while giving instructions to her entourage to speed up their horse's footsteps.

When their group arrived at the top of the hill, they were immediately greeted with a strange phenomenon. Black clouds had even gathered to cover the entire central continent, flashes of light continued to shine above the sky.even the strong wind made the group partially frightened.

"Mrs what happened...?" asked the head of the sunrise temple to Long Yue.

Even the others were also curious and waiting for an answer from Long Yue hopefully anxious, they were also curious about the strange phenomenon, but some of them were actually no strangers to the phenomenon.

"Isn't that the lightning of tribulation...?" long Yue replied while looking up at the sky.

"Right what our leader said, this strange phenomenon is the tribulation lightning, but who in this eastern region is breaking through the heavenly realm.. ?" the head of the sunset temple.

All of them within Long Yue's entourage gulped, if the enemy side were to break through the heavenly realm, their side would find it difficult to annihilate the east wind sect, some no longer intend to continue the war.

Xuan Li's entourage.

So did the entourage led by Xian Tang. when they passed the Shen Ming mountain already made them swallow, because as they remembered there was a mountain in their resting place.

"Chairman Xian, what's going on here...?" xuan Li asked suddenly, as he was curious about the thousand meter barren land, as well as the others.

"Chairman Xuan, I don't know what's going on here? but if not wrong, this region is the former Shen Ming mountain, on top of the mountain there used to be a neutral middle sect" Xian Tang replied.

As they watched the bare earth thousands of meters away, suddenly they were also shocked A strange phenomenon, as far as their eyes looked at the entire sky had been covered by the black clouds. Flashes of light continued to appear above the sky to split the black cloud, accompanied by strong winds that blew from all directions.

"Chairman Xuan, has the young master already started the fight..?" ask the head of the dragon hill temple. Because he was astonished after looking up at the sky.

"I don't know either, but it seems like this phenomenon isn't from someone the cultivator summoned lightning." replied chairman Xuan puzzledly as he looked up at the sky.

"Is not this phenomenon lightning tribulation! but who broke through the heavenly realm in this region...?" xian Tang said as he swallowed.

If any of the east wind sect were to break through the heavenly realm it would mean that they would face an extremely powerful enemy. Their faces were filled with worry.

"Rightly what elder Xian said, It's best that we rush towards the east wind sect, however if it's just broken through to the heavenly realm, that person's foundation has not stabilized and that will make it easier for the Young Master to fight against it." general Shu's proposal.

"But it is strange why we have never met or detected by the spies of the east wind sect" said the head of the flying knife temple.

"You may not know, but nothing is left of my sight, for we are always watched by the white eagle. At first I was suspicious of the beast, but after I sent a message to Yang'er, it turned out that the Eagle was Yang'er's man to detect the presence of enemies or spies from the other side." replied Xuan Li.

But not long after, suddenly a message came in to every temple chief, they immediately checked the message and immediately continued on their way.
