Half of the people in the Fan Yue Palace had been killed or injured. Among the remaining half, some were injured, while those with higher cultivation levels, though also hurt, were not as severely affected.
"Leave this place," one of the demons said.
The master of the Fan Yue Palace, who had intended to attack Feng Yuqin again, halted his steps.
The demon continued, "If she were to fight us with her own strength alone, it would be easy for us to capture her. But she has harnessed the power of the lightning tribulation..."
These words made the master of the Fan Yue Palace realize that with the lightning tribulation around, it was almost impossible for them to kill Feng Yuqin.
Although he was extremely reluctant to leave, after all, he was the master of the Fan Yue Palace.
But he had no other choice.
Just as he turned to leave, Feng Yuqin's cold voice drifted over, "If you leave, I'll head straight for the main hall of the Fan Yue Palace."
The master of the Fan Yue Palace stopped in his tracks. With a venomous and murderous look in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, "You dare?"
Feng Yuqin shrugged, "You can give it a try and see if I dare."
"Who on earth are you? What on earth did the Fan Yue Palace do to offend you?" The master of the Fan Yue Palace asked again the question that Feng Yuqin had not answered earlier.
Would Feng Yuqin tell him?
Of course not.
If she did, the people of the Fan Yue Palace might associate her with the matter of the Nightingale in the future by investigating.
She didn't want to cause trouble for herself.
So she summoned the seventh lightning bolt of the tribulation and said, "Take this."
The master of the Fan Yue Palace was absolutely furious.
He was in a situation where he couldn't win in a fight and couldn't escape either.
So he had no choice but to use all the treasures at his disposal to barely avoid the power of the lightning tribulation.
Although he managed to block most of the power of the lightning, the master of the Fan Yue Palace was still injured.
The demons exchanged glances, their expressions grim.
They had spent so much time cultivating the Fan Yue Palace and didn't want it to be ruined by a single woman.
"What should we do?" one of the demons said.
"We've worked so hard for so many years. We can't let a woman ruin everything," another demon said.
The leading demon said, "This woman won't be able to hold out for long. We just need to wait for the right moment and capture her in one fell swoop."
Especially that treasure of hers that could launch a soul attack. He was determined to get his hands on it.
Feng Yuqin had no idea that the Soul Ice had already caught the demons' covetous eyes.
Even if she did, she wouldn't have the time to worry about it.
Because the tribulation clouds began to churn again.
Feng Yuqin looked up at the eighth lightning bolt of the tribulation in the sky and a plan began to form in her mind.
When the master of the Fan Yue Palace saw the eighth lightning bolt of the tribulation, his heart sank.
He desperately wanted to abandon everything and just run.
But he had received a great deal of benefits from the demons.
If he no longer had the Fan Yue Palace as his bargaining chip in the future, his fate might be even worse than it was now.
With this in mind, he had no choice but to rummage through his spatial ring again to see if there was anything else that could withstand the lightning.
When the eighth lightning bolt of the tribulation appeared, the ground around them trembled more violently.
The charred trees began to fall into the cracks that appeared on the ground, along with the bodies of the dead Fan Yue Palace disciples.
The collapse of the back mountain also affected the buildings in the front of the Fan Yue Palace.
"Stop, stop right now!" The master of the Fan Yue Palace had lost his previous calm.
He began to roar at Feng Yuqin.
But Feng Yuqin had no intention of paying him any heed.
The ground continued to collapse. Those who could still fly immediately took to the air.
With such a commotion in the back mountain, it was impossible for it not to affect the front of the Fan Yue Palace.
As some of the buildings in the Fan Yue Palace began to collapse, many people had no idea what was going on in the back mountain.
The Fan Yue Palace had used the blood of the Nightingale to open the forbidden area.
So, except for some of the high - ranking officials of the Fan Yue Palace, no one else was allowed to enter the back mountain.
Now that a large - scale collapse had begun, they couldn't get through even if they wanted to.
Because the moment the ground began to collapse, the protective formation of the Fan Yue Palace was automatically activated.
At the same time, it also alerted the elders who protected the palace.
"What on earth is going on?" As soon as the elders who protected the palace came out, they sensed something was wrong.
The tribulation clouds in the sky made them realize that this was definitely not a good thing for the Fan Yue Palace.
So they immediately rushed to the back mountain.
The entire back mountain was in a complete mess.
The trees were lying haphazardly.
The cracks on the ground spread far and wide.
The ground was completely blackened, as if it had been charred.
When the master of the Fan Yue Palace saw the elders who protected the palace, he was like a drowning man seeing a life - saver. "Elders, this woman is using the lightning tribulation to destroy our Fan Yue Palace. You must kill her."
Feng Yuqin's sharp and cold gaze suddenly turned towards the elders.
The elders felt a slight tremor in their hearts when they were stared at by Feng Yuqin's gaze.
Then they came to their senses. They couldn't believe that they had been intimidated by the look in a young girl's eyes.
This was simply unbelievable.
"How dare you come to our Fan Yue Palace and cause trouble! You're simply asking for death!" one of the elders who protected the palace roared angrily.
Feng Yuqin glanced at the last lightning bolt of the tribulation in the sky, her expression solemn.
"Master, these people are quite powerful," the Soul Ice said.
"The demons are still eyeing you. Don't act for now," Feng Yuqin instructed.
"I understand, Master," the Soul Ice replied.
Feng Yuqin had never expected to encounter demons when she came to the Fan Yue Palace.
If it weren't for these demons, she wouldn't have come here to level up in order to deal with them.
But since she had leveled up, she had already rescued the Nightingale.
Now, she had even managed to alert the elders who protected the palace of the Fan Yue Palace.
So, she had to use the lightning tribulation to deal with these elders this time.
The leading white - haired old man looked at Feng Yuqin coldly and said, "If you didn't oppose our Fan Yue Palace, with your talent, you could have easily joined the Fan Yue Palace."
Feng Yuqin sneered, "I don't think much of your Fan Yue Palace."
The white - haired old man narrowed his eyes slightly. His cold gaze fixed on Feng Yuqin, "Since you don't want to join our Fan Yue Palace, then you'll have to leave your life here."
"We'll see if you have the ability to do that," Feng Yuqin said calmly.
"Arrogant!" The white - haired old man said, "I know you're counting on this last lightning bolt of the tribulation, but with so many of us here, do you think a single lightning bolt can deal with all of us?"
"We'll only know if we try," Feng Yuqin said, looking calm on the surface but feeling a bit anxious inside.
"Master, don't be anxious. After this last lightning bolt, the lightning stored in your dantian will be enough to deal with the others," the Soul Ice said.
Hearing the Soul Ice's words, Feng Yuqin felt a bit relieved.
"Does she have some other means?" one of the elders who protected the palace asked in confusion when he saw Feng Yuqin's confident look.
Another elder said, "She's at the end of her strength. Later, we'll split up. I don't believe that a single lightning bolt can deal with all of us."
This meant that someone would have to sacrifice themselves.
As for who it would be, it would depend on who Feng Yuqin would target after they dispersed.
All four of the elders who protected the palace knew that this was the best solution. Otherwise, they would all die here.
