Chapter 486 486: Saint Master Swears an Oath and Gets Struck by Lightning

Very soon.

Wang Ming returned.

Brought the news that the Saint Master was willing to meet them.

Even though he knew that Pei Jing's previous words were just to meet the Celestial South Saint Master, the real purpose was to find out Su Qi's whereabouts.

In other words.

These two people were here to demand an explanation from the Saint Master!

If Su Qi hadn't saved him in the Mysterious Tomb before, Wang Ming wouldn't have reported it at all.

However.

He still whispered a reminder: "You better be careful, although our Celestial South Saint Master is benevolent and elegant, good to the world, loyal and forgiving, self-disciplined and courteous, internally saintly and outwardly regal... he is, after all, a Saint Master with the heavenly mandate, proper respect must be maintained."

Pei Jing was stunned for a moment but quickly realized that this series of accolades was not meant for them, but for the one inside.

It was meant as a prelude to the upcoming meeting.

Immediately, Pei Jing gave the other party a grateful look, then followed him into the courtyard and met the Celestial South Saint Master, one of the strongest in the world.

After Pei Jing saluted, he was just about to explain his purpose.

But suddenly found out that Su Duoduo, who had rehearsed in advance, was standing there dumbfounded.

Not only did she not salute, but she stared straight at the Celestial South Saint Master.

Pei Jing secretly thought that this was bad, and quickly excused Su Duoduo: "Holy Master, please don't blame her, this little girl is too young, perhaps intimidated by the Saint Master's majesty, that's why she..."

"It's okay." The Celestial South Saint Master waved his hand casually, indicating he did not mind.

However.

No one knew.

Su Duoduo hadn't forgotten Pei Jing's previous instructions, nor was she intimidated by the aura of the Celestial South Saint Master.

Indeed.

She had previously suspected the circumstances of her brother's death, and felt that the rumors outside were true.

But until she stood here.

She suddenly felt with absolute clarity that Su Qi...

was right here!

Perhaps due to blood relations, or maybe because of the familiar glance Su Qi cast from the sidelines, even Su Duoduo was unsure of the reason, but she seemed to truly sense her brother's presence.

Thus.

Her mind instantly went blank, all the rhetoric Pei Jing had taught her was completely forgotten.

She burst into tears directly, kneeling on the ground with a bang, sobbing uncontrollably: "Grandfather Holy Master... did you... hide my brother away."

"I, I miss... him so much..."

"If you really... intend to take him away... I wish to see him... one, one more time..."

At this moment.

Pei Jing froze.

The plan was to proceed step by step, first expressing longing for Su Qi, then inquiring about that day's situation, and subtly probing...

How could you skip all that.

Coming straight out like this, isn't it tantamount to directly accusing the Saint Master of deceiving the world!?

However.

Pei Jing was overthinking things.

Perhaps it was due to the innocence of a child that the Celestial South Saint Master didn't consider it that way, but was moved by the genuine emotions of this little girl, and for a moment, he even thought of saying something false to comfort her.

However.

He had seen too much of the joys and sorrows of life.

Ruling over territories of billions of miles, waging war in unknown otherworlds, death and sorrow were inevitable.

Therefore, he quickly collected his emotions, and solemnly said: "Your brother really was an outstanding person, but... you also need to learn to accept the life and death of those around you, because only then can you carry their part, and move forward with strength!"

"That day, although I didn't meet your brother, such a transcendent who had just awakened for one year, dared to venture into the depths of catastrophe and fight, this spirit, you must also inherit."

Upon hearing this.

Su Duoduo on the ground nearly fainted.

Not only her, but even Pei Jing was a bit unsteady.

Because.

This statement from the Celestial South Saint Master essentially extinguished the last shred of hope in their hearts.

And the Celestial South Saint Master also knew, this truth might be cruel for these people, but there's no way around it, to struggle in this world, they must learn to accept the harsh reality as early as possible, even his offspring, he had thrown into various otherworlds early on.

"Impossible..."

"I clearly feel he's still alive, as if he's not far from here..."

Su Duoduo, her face full of tears, murmured softly, seemingly trapped in a stubborn state of madness.

Seeing this scene.

Su Qi, standing by, almost couldn't hold it anymore, nearly rushing forward to pick up this little girl.

But.

The Celestial South Saint Master's words weren't without reason.

Accepting the harsh reality, that is the unyielding law of survival in this world.

Now, let it serve as an early rehearsal, after all, he doesn't know, whether there will come a day when he'll disappear silently, maybe once Su Duoduo this little girl goes through this experience, accepting it in the future won't be too difficult.

And the Celestial South Saint Master seeing Su Duoduo's behavior, immediately realized that this little girl was now at her most difficult moment.

Cross it, and rebirth awaits.

Fail, and fall into decay.

But with him around, at least it wouldn't result in very bad consequences.

Thus, the Celestial South Saint Master decided to add fuel to the fire, saying in a deep voice: "If you do not believe, I can swear in the name of the Heavenly Dao, that Su Qi is indeed deceased... you must understand, ordinary people may not be influenced by an oath, but I'm different..."

As the words left his lips.

The Celestial South Saint Master's expression suddenly changed.

Because.

He sensed that in the higher realms, a bolt of divine thunder was instantly brewing.

At an extremely fast speed, it was striking down towards his head!

Instantly.

The Celestial South Saint Master became furious.

He looked up, shouting angrily: "Heavenly Dao, how dare you strike me!?"

In an instant, the Saint Master's aura erupted.

Pei Jing and the others felt themselves shrinking rapidly, no!

It was the Celestial South Saint Master's body seemingly limitless growing, not in a literal sense, but in their spiritual perception, transforming into a giant touching the heavens, and then grasping the divine thunder from above with one hand!

At this moment.

The Celestial South Saint Master was not angry because the thunder struck, but because he hadn't lied, and the Heavenly Dao dared strike him!

For a while.

Su Duoduo's eyes suddenly brightened up, exploding into a dazzling smile: "Grandfather Saint Master was struck by thunder, you're really lying to me, Su Qi is still alive!"

The voice rang clear, striking directly into the heart of the Celestial South Saint Master.

His expression changed slightly, could it be that Su Qi was actually alive, that's why the Heavenly Dao struck him.

With a snap!

The Celestial South Saint Master's right hand exerted slight force, and the raging divine thunder was extinguished by him.

Then.

He fell into deep confusion.

At this moment.

Whether it was Pei Jing or Wang Ming, they were so shocked their mouths were agape, unable to close.

This matter...

was incredibly unbelievable!

But among them, the most shocked was Su Qi, he never imagined that swearing by the Saint Master would really cause a thunderstrike!
