After Hao Ren tamed the sword he and Han Lingshi had a symbolic meal with everyone before the young couple went inside their bed room. This place had been vacant for a very longtime. Because both of them had been traveling and they would never come inside alone.
Han Lingshi has also began to trod down the path of a cultivation maniac, just like Hao Ren. Earlier, when they were eating food in the dining hall, Han Lingshi had used her finger and written something on Hao Ren's thigh which caused him to delay his plan to go back to the Iron Mountain City.
Inside the room, the couple hugged each other and they lay on the bed. The atmosphere began to heat up and then the spring of love bloomed in the air. Hao Ren and Han Lingshi were passionately making love to each other for a couple of hours, before they both looked at each other and spoke, "Dual."
They broke out in a chuckle as they spoke the same word at the same time. Hao Ren wanted to use this chance to Dual cultivate, and Han Lingshi was of the same mind. The two of them engaged in the act of Dual Cultivation.
They were at such a high cultivation realm, that as they executed the dual cultivation method, the spiritual energy in the surroundings began to ripple. The two people exchanged the essence of Yin and Yang.
The people in the surroundings were even more shocked, they all had been alerted because they could sense the spirit energy rippling and the Yin and Yang becoming more prominent.
Ye Lan was standing on the palace walls with Hao Mei and said, "Big Sister, do you think these two are getting out of hand?"
Hao Mei smiled faintly and said, "When has it been our turn to comment on them? They are just cultivating and helping each other improve their cultivation realm slowly. It appears chaotic, but look, the Yin and Yang flaring up are improving the quality of the spiritual energy around the city. It is like Alum in the water."
Hao Ren and Han Lingshi continued to perfomr the dual cultivation with each other till the morning, and when they broke away, Han Lingshi said, "The tribulation is here."
She had reached the Dao World Realm. Hao Ren had managed to touch the surface of the World Overlord realm. He had yet to break through but he was surely stronger than before. Han Lingshi stood up, and the young man followed over to help her with her clothes. Han Lingshi said, "I will be using the armor you have given me. Do you think it can handle the tribulation?"
Hao Ren nodded calmly, before he tucked her hair behind her ears and kissed her forehead. He looked in her eyes and said, "I am not sure where this is coming from, but I want you to come back safe."
Han Lingshi smiled and said, "I will be fine, don't worry."
Hao Ren nodded and they moved out. The young man looked at Ye Si, who approached them, and said, "Three layers, City Guard, Ye Generals, then it will be me. I have a feeling that the Demon Moon Bitches will try something."
Ye Si nodded and replied, "I understand."
She quickly vanished from her place and Ye Yin appeared from Han Lingshi's shadow. Last night, Hao Ren had asked Han Lingshi about Ye Yin's presence and the lady told him that Ye Yin had acquired inheritance of a saint from the past, known as the shadow saint. This person was so powerful in his time, that he had an independent small world that allowed him to travel through some designated shadows and thus he was very hard to pin down.
In the crescent moon empire, it was not the techniques, but the motive behind the usage that mattered. Since Ye Yin, had the inheritance, she also had a small world for herself at the moment.
Hao Ren nodded to her and said, "Have the shadow guards at ready, General Yin."
Ye Yin bowed her head as she vanished. The couple appeared in the void above the city, the people had just woken up, when the spotted huge dark clouds in the sky.
The city was abuzz, they didn't expect that their would be a tribulation just one day after the huge celebration.
Hao Ren sat on the top of the highest pillar of the palace, and asked, "System, withdraw ten lottery tickets."
He still had more than half of his lotteries left unused and so he decided to take some out.
*Congratulations, you have gained Red Thread Art*
*Congratulations, you have gained blueprints for Reflection World Mirror.*
*Congratulations, you have gained the music piece, Rise Of The Phoenix."
*Congratulations you have gained, Critical Rescue Card.*
*Congratulations you have gained a recipe alchemy potion, Potential Mending Potion.*
*Congratulations you have gained an improved perception card.*
Ten lotteries were taken out and Hao Ren closed his eyes to digest them while in the sky, lightning began to assault Han Lingshi. She didn't take out the armor directly because the last time she had missed the opportunity to baptize herself in the heavenly lightning and began to face the tribulation head-on. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
After five minutes, Hao Ren opened his eyes, with his mind filled with new details about the things he won in the lottery, and then he said, "My reward, high grade puppet blueprint was it?"
*How are you grubbing money again?*
Hao Ren replied, "I have my ideas, now if you could please pass it on, I have some things to take care of."
As he finished speaking, he stood up from the ground and then looked around as he said, "Ye Si, spare none."
He could see further and around two kilometers away from the city limits, some people were barging through the lines of the City Guards. The city guards tried their best but they were not allowed to risk their lives, and they retreated after accumulating great injuries.
The new generation of the Ye Generals was about to engage the enemy when Ye Si moved on Hao Ren's command and directly faced with several people. She was so fierce that she suppressed seven of the eight assailants on her own.
The ninth bolt of the Tribulation hit Han Lingshi, and the lady took out the Crescent Moon Armor. Suddenly, she sensed a dreadful feeling rise up from the bottom of her heart, but the next moment, a calm voice echoed in her mind, "Don't worry, press forward, I will handle it."
As soon as he said that, Han Lingshi put caution to wind and gazed at the lightning bolt rushing toward her. Hao Ren moved from his position and appeared fifty meters away from her as his hand clenched the void. A black arrow materialized in his palm as he said, "To think that they even sent a World Lord level assassin. Hmmm, I shall give back a proper reply, right?"
The assailant in the black cloak was stunned, then he saw Hao Ren take out a white sword. The latter said, "You wanted to kill yesterday, right? Now go, drink your fill."
That said, he let go of the sword, and it shot through the void, aimed at the assailant directly, causing the assailant to run away in panic. The battle began, and Hao Ren was particularly angry.
