Chapter 1202: Chapter 1202: Mu Xi Struck Dead by Lightning
At the same time.
A madwoman with disheveled hair was running on the street.
"Help! Help me!" Mu Xi, barely clothed, was running frantically.
All the citizens quickly made way.
They watched in shock as a bolt of lightning persistently pursued Mu Xi.
Mu Xi’s body was already scorched by the lightning strikes, with no uninjured part.
Mu Xi screamed miserably, yet no one dared to help her, all too frightened by the scene to move.
The lightning seemed to have eyes, chasing only Mu Xi.
"Crack—" A loud bang.
Mu Xi was struck by Heavenly Thunder! She fell, her body charred black and motionless.
The surrounding citizens witnessed everything, gasping in shock.
After a long while, a daring butcher went up to check Mu Xi’s condition.
Only then did everyone slowly move closer.
The air was filled with an unpleasant odor.
With just one glance, the butcher shook his head, "Completely scorched, what a tragedy!"
The crowd let out low cries of shock and began to discuss—
"What happened to this girl? What did she do wrong for Heaven to strike her down?"
"Maybe she did too many bad deeds, too ominous, this is divine retribution by lightning!"
At this moment, up in the nine layered heaven, Star Lord Yuan Qing spat blood with a "pu" sound, gravely injured!
In his cave, he was restless from pain, slowly channeling his cultivation to suppress the discomfort with great difficulty.
Star Lord Yuan Qing was exhausted and sweating, his eyes fierce.
"Clearly intending to use Heavenly Thunder’s power to kill Bai Zhi’er in one strike, how did it end up aiding her cultivation!"
He regretted endlessly!
Initially, he thought there were no oversights, never imagining Bai Zhi’er’s fate was so resilient!
She was fortunate enough.
Star Lord Yuan Qing bet on her blocking thunder for that snake demon but never thought the Heavenly Thunder would actually help her break the mana seal.
Now, not only has Bai Zhi’er’s mana improved.
Star Lord Yuan Qing also suffered backlash from mana due to Mu Xi’s failed wish!
Suddenly gravely injured, fearing he won’t recover for hundreds of years.
All friends and relatives waited in the imperial palace, yet Bai Zhi’er never returned.
When Heavenly Thunder appeared, Feng Fuce, who had just returned to the imperial palace, sensed something amiss.
Those demons originally wandering the Capital as spies, all swarmed towards Feng Fuce.
They all babbled about the same thing—
Bai Zhi’er was taking Heavenly Thunder for the snake demon.
Thus, Feng Fuce, ignoring everything, immediately rode towards the mountain in the suburb.
Sixth Prince Bai Xingye saw Feng Fuce’s solemn expression, the first time seeing him like this, Bai Xingye knew something was wrong, hurriedly followed.
The rest of the family followed them one after another.
By the time Feng Fuce found Bai Zhi’er, it was already thirty minutes after the Heavenly Thunder dispersed.
Bai Zhi’er was unconscious.
"Zhi’er! Zhi’er!" Bai Xilie held his daughter, eyes red, "Don’t scare your father!"
Feng Fuce couldn’t control the trembling of his fingers, until this moment, seeing Bai Zhi’er’s pale face, he realized how afraid he was of her dying.
He couldn’t even hold Bai Zhi’er steadily, but refused to hand her over to anyone else, even Bai Xilie could only touch Bai Zhi’er’s head.
Bai Xilie tried several times to snatch back his daughter, but Feng Fuce never let go.
His eyes were filled with endless panic, "Zhi’er..."
Feng Fuce called softly but failed to wake Bai Zhi’er.
"Let’s return to the palace and find the Imperial Physician!" Eldest Heir Bai Xuanmo urgently took charge.
The crowd hurriedly carried Bai Zhi’er back to the palace.
