"I'm fine, but are you sure they can handle the lightning?"
Lightning wasn't something that could only be triggered in certain realms. It also had a small chance of happening when breaking through to other realms.
However, if there was a thunderstorm, it would happen very often.
Today was also the Day of the Opening, when Yin and Yang alternated.
Spiritual Qi was already in an unstable state.
If it was attracted by the Serpent Qi and encountered a thunderstorm again …
There was almost a 100% chance that lightning would strike them.
Chen Zhao didn't think that such low-level lightning could harm him.
After all, he'd gone through two complete lightning strikes.
However, whether Shao Jiaqiu and the two-legged snake, who had yet to fully evolve, could withstand the attack was up to fate.
If they were lucky enough to win a five million lottery, it would be fine.
On the other hand, that was about it.
"Mr. Chen, can you really handle it?"
Chen Zhao's cultivation was high, but it didn't mean that he could.
One had to know that many experts had died while helping others take on the Heavenly Lightning.
So, Zhou Yiren wasn't sure if Chen Zhao could handle it.
"Don't worry. I know what I'm doing."
"Then what if I attract the lightning to you? Is that okay?"
Chen Zhao hesitated. He could handle it, but it didn't mean that he had to take the blame for Shao Jiaqiu and the two-legged snake.
He was here to help, not to take the blame.
"Mr. Chen, the Special Intelligence Division will take the blame for Wutai Mountain," Zhou Yiren said.
Chen Zhao was surprised. "Is the snake demon that important?"
"Mr. Chen, do you agree?"
"Yes."
Zhou Yiren smiled. He'd recruited Shao Jiaqiu to expand their influence.
After the two-legged snake evolved into a dragon, they'd gain a lot in terms of strength.
At the same time, they'd be a brand. Together with Shao Jiaqiu, they'd have a good reaction.
So, protecting the two was an important strategic deployment for the Special Intelligence Division.
Of course, if they were worthy of the Special Intelligence Division taking the blame and going against Wutai Mountain …
That wasn't worth it.
But even without today's incident.
He'd let the Special Intelligence Division take the blame.
Because this was Dragon Tiger Mountain's intention.
To put it simply, this time, the Celestial Master Sect of Longhu Mountain wanted to take advantage of the fact that Wutai Mountain's combat power was weak.
Then, he would use the Special Intelligence Department to weaken the influence of Mount Wutai.
If the group of old monks from Mount Wutai were still here, Zhou Yiren would definitely not dare to accept this order from Mount Longhu's Sage Sect.
But now, all the old monks on Mount Wutai were dead, and the remaining young monks were useless.
Then, he spread the news that monks from Mount Wutai had come out to do bad things.
Then they were annihilated by the Special Intelligence Department.
What would happen to Mount Wutai and the Zen Sect?
Come out to seek justice from the Special Intelligence Department?
The Zen Sect would definitely be afraid of the Special Intelligence Division, which could completely destroy Mount Wutai.
Besides, he was already dead, so the Zen Sect naturally wouldn't stand up for Mount Wutai.
As for the group of young monks from Mount Wutai, if they dared to come out, they would be killed.
Of course, not everyone in the Special Intelligence Department was there to take the blame.
The Special Intelligence Department's reputation would naturally rise because of this incident.
After all, he could rub the head of the Zen Sect against the ground.
Naturally, no one dared to underestimate the combat power of the Special Intelligence Department.
In the past, the Special Intelligence Division's position in Huaxia's supernatural world had been rather awkward.
On one hand, it was because it was a department of the imperial court.
Many people in the spirit world viewed them as the imperial court's lackeys.
That was why there weren't many experts in the Special Intelligence Department.
Most of them belonged to the middle class. They weren't as good as the top, but they were better than the bottom.
Whenever they encountered a large sect, they had to admit defeat.
For example, when the monks from Mount Wutai had come to cause trouble for Chen Zhao.
They had to pretend to be blind and say that they hadn't seen anything.
But now, things were different. The old monk was dead, so there was no need to worry about the young monk.
Chen Zhao naturally didn't know the details.
Did he really think that the Special Intelligence Department was willing to pay so much just to protect this person and snake?
"Mr. Chen, this is the lightning rod. Hold it in your hand …"
Ten minutes later, bean-sized raindrops started falling from the sky.
This was also a sign of a heavy rain.
Soon, the rain started pouring down.
The rain grew heavier and the wind grew stronger.
In the wind and rain, the black clouds in the sky started surging with lightning.
Chen Zhao continued to press the device with one hand, continuing to inject mana.
With the other, he held the lightning rod high above his head.
Boom!
A pillar of light descended from the sky.
A huge sound was accompanied by a huge impact.
In the center of the formation, Shao Jiaqiu and the two-legged snake were frightened by this terrifying scene.
They had never seen such terrifying lightning.
Moreover, it didn't strike the ground, but a person's body.
Fortunately, Chen Zhao was at least 50 meters away from them.
Otherwise, they would have been affected by the lightning just now.
But even so, under such a powerful sound and light, the impact produced was still shocking.
Shao Jiaqiu's hair stood up. She kept shivering in the rain.
The two-legged snake wasn't much better than her.
It had been forced to do something beyond its ability.
If it had known that there would be such a terrifying lightning tribulation, it wouldn't have agreed.
It wouldn't have agreed even if it was beaten to death.
But now, it couldn't do anything.
It only had two choices now. Evolve successfully and become the dragon it dreamed of.
Or die here. There was no third choice.
The lightning disappeared. Chen Zhao stood where he was, unmoving.
Even the device before him wasn't damaged.
But the ground Chen Zhao was standing on was cracked like a spider web.
Shao Jiaqiu and the two-legged snake stared at Chen Zhao, dumbfounded.
It was like looking at a monster.
"Focus your mind and activate your bloodline," Chen Zhao said indifferently. "If you fail, I'll stew you regardless of whether you're dead or alive."
The two-legged snake's legs turned to jelly. It realized that Chen Zhao was the scariest.
Just then, another bolt of lightning was brewing in the sky.
Chen Zhao looked up. The white roc soul in his body was stirring.
Chen Zhao called the various rocs in his body colors and added the word "bird."
For example, he called the white roc soul White Bird.
Chen Zhao released White Bird at the same time.
White Bird turned into white light and shot into the clouds.
Coincidentally, the lightning fell and the two beams of white light collided.
They didn't dissipate. Instead, White Bird absorbed the lightning and was still flying higher.
Zhou Yiren was surprised. What was that?
Because White Bird was too fast, he could only see a beam of white light rise from Chen Zhao's body.
He thought it was some kind of spell.
White Bird swam in the thunderclouds.
The lightning didn't fall anymore.
Everyone could only see white light swimming in the thunderclouds.
The two-legged snake's transformation into a dragon was very slow.
So, the thunderclouds didn't disperse for a long time.
White Bird seemed to be absorbing the lightning in the thunderclouds to strengthen its spiritual body.
But now, White Bird only had a spiritual body. It didn't have a body, so it couldn't become a real mythical roc.
To become a mythical roc, one had to have a body and a bloodline. Just a soul wasn't enough.
