Time seemed to pass slowly, as if the Seven Star Convergence could last for a moment. Therefore, Lightning Weasel had to endure a moment of Purple Thunder.
The face of Old Monster was filled with worry.
This made Li Rui once again verify his suspicion that the relationship between Old Monster and Lightning Weasel was definitely not ordinary.
However, he did not know what had caused their current relationship to become somewhat strange, even to the point where they almost fought upon meeting.
The air was filled with Purple Thunder, seemingly tearing the night apart, creating huge gashes that poured down onto Lightning Weasel.
The snow-white fur of Lightning Weasel had already been scorched and turned black, and a smell of roasted meat wafted through the air.
Li Rui ungraciously touched his nose, while Old Monster was extremely anxious and did not pay attention to the smell in the air.
He could clearly feel that Lightning Weasel's breath was growing weaker, indicating that its life signs were diminishing.
However, only half the time had passed. He knew very well the power of Purple Thunder. If it were him, he might have already died by now.
Although their strengths were comparable, Lightning Weasel had a connection with thunder. But no matter how strong that connection was, such power could still kill—damn it, kill a beast!
“Weiya, if you can't hold on, I will take this Otherworldly Heart away.”
Suddenly, Old Monster blurted out this statement, nearly causing Li Rui to bleed from shock. He was clearly worried about the other party but still said something so infuriating.
And Old Monster continued to provoke, saying things like, “See? You insisted on seeking death and overestimating yourself. Now I can slap you dead with one hand; you are no match for me at all.”
Li Rui tugged at the corner of his mouth beside him. Wasn't he afraid of making the other party so angry that they would die?
A miraculous scene soon unfolded: the scorched fur of Lightning Weasel actually turned purple, and its life force rapidly returned.
Old Monster widened his eyes in disbelief and swallowed hard. Impressive, this is truly impressive, absolutely.
Transforming Purple Thunder into his own power, is this a case of misfortune turning into blessing, or is it double happiness coming at once?
Old Monster chose to obediently keep quiet; otherwise, when Weiya, the heartless one, comes down, he would definitely not have a good outcome.
On the side, Li Rui was not as fortunate as Old Monster. The powerful aura emanating from Weiya was suffocating him to the point where he could barely breathe.
Is this what it means to be caught in the crossfire?
The feeling of celestial beings cultivating while mortals suffer.
At that moment, Li Rui realized just how insignificant he was. It seems he needs to intensify his training; otherwise, finding his parents would be as difficult as Fang Ye Tan.
As time passed by second by second, Old Monster finally noticed that Li Rui simply could not withstand such immense pressure.
He was already drenched in sweat, his clothes completely soaked.
Old Monster raised a protective shield using True Qi, and the pressure on Li Rui instantly vanished.
"Are you alright?"
Old Monster asked. This was a valuable face-saving moment; if it were damaged like this, it would be a loss.
"Thank you for your concern, Senior. I'm fine."
Finally, after a moment passed, the Seven Star Convergence dispersed, and Lightning Weasel Weiya fell down from above.
The quick-witted Old Monster caught Weiya.
At this moment, Weiya was very weak, lacking even the strength to stand.
The fur on Weiya's body turned snow white once again.
Old Monster held Weiya and shook his head, "You always like to be strong-willed. Just rest well. Ming, take the things and leave. You've been here for so long; it’s time for a conclusion."
Old Monster's tone was like that of an old friend educating another old friend.
Surprisingly, Weiya obediently closed his eyes in his embrace.
Li Rui sighed from the side; this scene was simply too heartwarming.
Old Monster looked at the empty altar and said, "Let the past remain in the past!"
Many years ago, they had come to Azure Dragon Tomb together. They experienced life and death and became friends. Later, fate played a trick on them when a senior brother wanted to capture a Lightning Weasel as a mount. At that time, Weiya's wife was giving birth, and by the time he and Weiya arrived...
Weiya's wife and child were all dead...
In his rage, Weiya went on a killing spree, but he could not abandon his fellow disciples. So... in the end, the senior brother and several disciples died, while he and a few others were severely injured along with Weiya.
It was said that Otherworldly Heart could save his wife and child, but Weiya could not accomplish it alone. However, Old Monster also had grievances against his fellow disciples...
Old Monster recounted their past to Li Rui, who was deeply moved.
Old Monster was not wrong in this matter; neither was Weiya. The one at fault was Old Monster's senior brother.
Li Rui looked at the Otherworldly Heart in his hand and felt a warmth in his heart; it was the hope of Weiya.
Just like the pure Yang and Yin object he was searching for, it was his hope as well.
Moreover, according to Old Monster, Weiya's strength had increased significantly, and now he was absolutely no match for him.
He wondered if Weiya would take action against them tomorrow.
The night was calm and peaceful. This Palace was filled with traps, but there were no Heisha or Demon Beasts around, so they were safe for now.
After a night of silence, the next Weiya woke up, and Li Rui handed the Otherworldly Heart to Weiya.
Weiya's hoarse voice thanked Old Monster and then Li Rui before leaving.
He must be eager to return and rescue his wife and children.
"Child, do you still want to go in?"
Li Rui looked at the grand hall behind the altar; it must be fraught with danger inside. However, Ling Daozi's scroll mentioned a vast Herb Garden within.
"Let's go!"
Li Rui had no reason to give up now.
"Alright. I'll accompany you in for a wild attempt, but I've never been inside either, so it might not be that simple."
The two of them proceeded forward, but as soon as they stepped into the grand hall, they found that they had lost sight of each other.
Li Rui did not find any trace of Old Monster around, and there was no response to his calls.
He began to feel alert.
Li Rui cautiously walked step by step when he suddenly noticed another person in front of him. To his shock, this person looked exactly like him.
Without saying a word, the other Li Rui launched an attack, and surprisingly, his moves were identical to Li Rui's. After a fierce battle, Li Rui realized that this doppelgänger did not seem to tire, while he was already feeling fatigued.
"Damn it, what the hell is going on?"
Just as Li Rui finished speaking, the other him swung a stick at him. Li Rui quickly dodged.
Channeling Source Qi into the stick, he executed a Second Step into the Void, Golden Rooster Stands.
In response, the other Li Rui countered with a Three Flowers Turning the Fan, Closing the Door Tight, leaving Li Rui with a trickle of blood on his face.
What on earth is happening? Li Rui could guarantee that this person was indeed himself!
