In this area, countless lightning bolts as thin as gossamer roared wantonly. Among the lightning bolts, there were sharp swords, spears, and chains that chased away the golden sunlight.
In the center of the lightning bolts, a thunderbolt that connected the heavens and the earth stood majestically. A roar that was fiercer than the waves and mightier than the wind came from this thunderbolt, spreading incomparably into the surrounding space! Along with the roar, endless lightning bolts swayed out. The lightning bolts were like flames that burned on the surface of the thunderbolt. Layers of different-colored lightning bolts transformed into cages, chains, and so on. And when these lightning bolts shattered, the various illusions condensed, and the word "Punishment" appeared in an extremely striking manner.
When the word "Punishment" appeared, boundless Punishment Intent mightily attacked the surrounding space. In the sky, the golden sundial gave birth to the color of blood. The vermilion earth showed cracks, as if there were angry roars and wails between heaven and earth.
The word "Punishment" disappeared in a few breaths of time. Its aura dissipated, the lightning bolts receded, and the lightning bolts from the huge thunderbolt became much thinner. At this moment, after the thunderbolt, there was a light shadow that looked like the Immortal Slaying Platform. This light shadow also disappeared in a flash, revealing tens of thousands of palaces and pavilions shaped like lightning. These pavilions and palaces were of different colors, but they appeared in groups, protected by nine-colored lightning bolts.
Far away, in an inconspicuous orange lightning bolt, a female immortal wearing soft armor was standing on a thundercloud. She had a puzzled look on her face as she flew in front of an irregular lightning ball.
Wasn't this female immortal one of the Punishment Palace's immortal officials that Yu Miao had encountered when he had hurriedly escaped after capturing Xiao Hua in the Dreamy Cloud Swampland?
"This lowly one is He Qiong …" The female immortal stopped. Just as she opened her mouth to speak, a voice came from inside. "Come in!"
"Yes!" He Qiong replied. She lowered her head to look at her armor before flying into the lightning ball.
"Buzz …" As He Qiong flew in, the three-colored lightning bolts above the lightning ball roared and entered He Qiong's body. He Qiong was not nervous and continued flying. She knew that this was the Punishment Palace's secret immortal restriction.
Sure enough, the tri-colored lightning passed through He Qiong's body and did not cause any disturbance to He Qiong. However, when the lightning flashed in front of He Qiong, the situation changed. The originally inconspicuous ball of lightning suddenly expanded, as if it was going to burst open the heaven and earth. A towering palace that pierced through the sky appeared in front of her eyes.
The palace didn't have a signboard. He Qiong glanced at it, and a look of awe appeared in her eyes. She took a deep breath and stepped into the palace.
He Qiong didn't dare to raise his head. He kept his head down as he stepped on the thunderclouds and flew for more than a thousand feet. Then, he knelt down on one knee and said, "I, He Qiong, greet … greet my lord!"
"Mm …" A faint voice sounded in front of He Qiong's head, saying, "Get up!"
"Thank you, milord!" He Qiong replied respectfully. She became cautious and still didn't dare to raise her head. After all, although the location of this palace was inconspicuous and it didn't have a plaque, she knew clearly that this was where the secrets of the Punishment Palace were located. With her status, she absolutely couldn't approach it.
"I heard that you just returned from the Dreamy Cloud Swampland's Yuan Ling Mountain. Tell me about the situation there …"
He Qiong was a little surprised. She had written down everything about Yuan Ling Mountain in the Ink Immortal Eyes and reported it to her superior. With the status of the immortal official in this palace, it was easy for him to see the Ink Immortal Eyes. Why did he want her to report it in front of him?
He Qiong thought about what to say, then raised her head and said, "I, your servant …"
She only said two words, but He Qiong was stunned for a moment. This was because a huge ball of lightning appeared in front of her. Strands of lightning rose like mist and poured down from the top of the palace. When they reached the bottom of the palace, they suddenly flipped and shot up into the sky. In this moment, countless bolts of lightning appeared and disappeared. Within the flashing lightning, an immortal official wearing a thunder battle armor sat there with an expressionless face.
The thunder battle armor was seven colors. Seven crazy torrents of lightning roared and danced around the immortal official. Waves of terrifying roars could be heard from time to time.
The immortal official's face was covered by the lightning and couldn't be seen clearly. But when He Qiong's gaze landed on this face, a vast lightning appeared in her mind. She was a little shocked. Her eyes moved slightly and with a "shua", within the lightning fog around the immortal official, every strand of lightning revealed the immortal official's figure. A legend that was spread among the low level immortal officials of the Punishment Palace appeared in He Qiong's mind. "This … this is the lightning bridge that leads to the Color Realm Heaven right? This … this immortal official should be … "
Without waiting for He Qiong to think more, the immortal official frowned and asked, "What is it now?"
"Oh …" He Qiong hurriedly shook her head. Her gaze moved away from the lightning fog and said carefully, "This is the first time your servant has seen this kind of legendary lightning restriction. So I was a little distracted …"
"Hehe …" The immortal official smiled and said, "If you complete this task perfectly, not to mention seeing it often, even if you walk into this lightning restriction, so what?"
He Qiong's heart jumped. She suppressed the excitement in her heart and said, "Your servant thanks lord for your help."
"Speak first …" The immortal official waved his hand and said, "If you don't have any credit, everything is just flowing water."
"Yes, lord …" He Qiong nodded and said, "At that time your servant was …"
After He Qiong finished speaking, she carefully looked at the immortal official. The immortal official didn't ask anything and seemed to be thinking. After a while, he said, "You have already written all of this in the file. What I want to know is that you didn't report it!"
"Didn't report it?" He Qiong was dazed. She looked at the immortal official's figure that was starting to twist in the lightning fog and asked in a low voice, "I don't know …"
Right when he spoke up to here, He Qiong shuddered and instantly came to an understanding, and he hurriedly said, "Yes, my Lord. When I headed to Dreamcloud Swampland, I encountered a female Immortal from the Palace of Justice, and my subordinate, Situ Yang, stopped her. But that female immortal was very eloquent. Not only did she not say why she came, she didn't even ask for her name. However, when your servant was patrolling the Dreamy Cloud Lake, I sent that female immortal's appearance to my subordinates and asked them to investigate. Only then did I know that female immortal's name was Yu Miao. As for why she went to the Dreamy Cloud Lake, I didn't find out. At that time, there were also many Punishment Palace immortal officials at Yuan Ling Mountain. They must have gone together, so your servant didn't investigate further … "
"Oh, so that's why you investigated Yu Miao!" The immortal official nodded and said, "That's right! Although it's not your duty, you can pay attention to details. You are a promising talent. "
He Qiong hurriedly bowed and probed, "I don't know if this Yu Miao …"
"I called you here today for this matter!" The immortal official calmly replied, "Yu Miao died in the Dreamy Cloud Lake. It should be after she met you."
"Ah?" He Qiong was stunned. Her eyes narrowed and she asked in surprise, "Who did it?"
"I don't know!" The immortal official said, "It could be an ascended immortal who just set foot in the immortal world. It could be the Spirit King of the Dreamy Cloud Lake. It could also be a Senjō from Xuan Yi Country. It could even be her enemy!"
"An ascended immortal who just set foot in the immortal world??" He Qiong didn't even think and shook her head. "Impossible!"
After saying that, He Qiong realized that it was inappropriate and hurriedly said in fear, "Your humble servant has offended Your Excellency. Please forgive me!"
"It's fine!" The immortal official waved his hand and said, "I also think it's impossible, but it's a possibility."
"That's not right!" He Qiong immediately reacted and said, "How could there be an ascended immortal who just set foot in the immortal world in the Dreamy Cloud Lake? Your humble servant remembers that the spirit pool there is under the care of Green Jade Sect. It should have been abandoned long ago. "
"You know this too?" The immortal official asked with interest.
"Your humble servant has a habit. Before I go on an inspection tour, I will check the nearby situation in the palace records …"
"Looks like I found the right person to look for!" The immortal official was delighted.
"Could Your Excellency say it clearly?" He Qiong frowned and said, "Do … do you want me to investigate the cause of death of that female immortal called Yu Miao?"
"No, no …" The immortal official shook his head and said, "Yu Miao's cause of death is very mysterious and very sudden. Even her clone didn't receive any information. The immortal official from the Palace of Justice has already gone to investigate. You don't have to go. "
"Your humble servant understands!" He Qiong nodded and said, "Your Excellency wants me to investigate that ascended immortal, right?"
"Mm, not bad!" The immortal official said rather approvingly, "He Qiong, you can draw inferences from one case. You are indeed intelligent. If you investigate this matter thoroughly, I will give you a chance."
"Your Excellency …" Who knew that He Qiong didn't thank him and instead shook his head and said, "If you want to investigate the matter of ascended immortal, your humble servant feels that Your Excellency should find someone else. Your humble servant is not up to the task."
The immortal official was stunned and asked curiously, "Oh, why?"
"Your Excellency …" He Qiong said calmly, "Your humble servant is only a Derived Immortal, barely stronger than Yu Miao. But since the culprit could easily kill Yu Miao, he must be at least a mid-stage Derived Immortal. Your humble servant is no match for him. Secondly, when it comes to ascended immortal, it is mostly done by Feather Immortals. They tend to be vicious and merciless, leaving no traces. There is no way to investigate. Your humble servant has already tried before, your humble servant is unable to do anything to Feather Immortals. Therefore, your humble servant thanks Your Excellency for thinking highly of me. May Your Excellency take back your order! "
"Have you ever thought that this ascended immortal has nothing to do with Feather Immortals?"
He Qiong's immortal body trembled and he hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Excellency, then … then this matter involves the use of a guiding immortal artifact. Your humble servant doesn't dare to investigate."
The immortal official didn't say anything else. Instead, he looked towards a direction and said, "Situ Hong …"
Following the immortal official's voice, a green clothed immortal official walked out from a corner of the lightning mist. That immortal official bowed towards the immortal official and said, "Your humble servant is here!"
"Tell He Qiong the reason for this matter!" The immortal official was somewhat displeased and waved his hand, "I still have other matters to attend to. I cannot stay in Huang Zengtian for long! I believe that since you recommended He Qiong, you can also convince her. "
"Yes, your humble servant will return and report the result to Your Excellency alone!" Situ Hong respectfully replied.
"Pa, pa, pa …" A series of explosions that sounded like the croaking of frogs could be heard. Thunder clouds of unknown height exploded outwards. Tens of thousands of lightning bolts flashed. The celestial official's body followed the lightning and rushed to the top of the hall. Soon after, an earth-shattering pressure descended.
