Hearing senior Xukong''s words, Lin Mu became concerned. He knew just how dangerous it would be for someone if their meridians got clogged up at a time like this. Withstanding heavenly tribtion lighting was no easy task and most that went against would end up dying.


    Having one''s meridians blocked basically made it so that they would be bearing the full brunt of the lightning with just their body. If it were a body cultivator or someone like Lin Mu who practiced both, they wouldn''t have a problem, but for a pure spirit Qi cultivator, this was no less than a death sentence.


    "Dammit!" Lin Mu cursed out loud.


    Adviser Liu and the other two also heard this and knew that the situation was bad. They could observe the condition of King Hong as well and saw that he was not in the best state for this.


    "What do we do, senior brother?" Hua Wu questioned Hua San.


    N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Hua San pursed his lips, unable toe up with anything.. He didn''t know just what could be done here without harming himself or the others. If they interfered without precautions, they may very well end up dying themselves.


    Not to mention, they might trigger a punishment tribtion instead and cause even more problems for King Hong.


    "I… don''t know… only someone as knowledgeable as master or strong enough can do anything." Hua San answered.


    "It''s the curse! This is the curse that stops them from defending properly!" Adviser Liu recognized.


    "I know! This is called as the Aqua Wisp Tribtion lightning and is a variant tribtion." Lin Mu informed them.


    Thankfully, after the third bolt, the next bolt needed to gather again. The power within the tribtion clouds was seething and increased steadily. It was evident that King Hong would be having more than just three tribtion lightning bolts.


    Usually even one was enough to crack one''s core and hatch the nascent soul. Lin Mu needed three as well, but King Hong was in a different situation. Not only did his core affect the state of the tribtion lightning, but his dormant physique did as well.


    "What in the name of heavens…" Adviser Liu muttered in shock after hearing the truth behind the tribtion.


    He watched his nephew with a concerned look on his face. He wanted to help him survive the tribtion but knew that if he interfered now, the tribtion may only get stronger.


    He then looked towards the only person who could potentially help in this time.


    "Senior Lin Mu, you know what this tribtion is. You must have a solution too! Please! Please save my nephew!" Adviser Liu pleaded.


    Lin Mu furrowed his brows. He truly wanted to help, but he was at a loss as well.


    "Senior, do you have any solution to this?" Lin Mu questioned.


    "Unless the water elemental spirit Qi can be purged from the man''s meridians, it would be impossible for him to ovee this. Even if the tribtion lightning is blocked, he still needs to depend on himself to ovee this.


    At most, you can buy him time and hope that he survives." Xukong answered.


    Hearing this, Lin Mu knew he didn''t really have many options. His mind ran at the speed of lightning as he went through numerous thoughts.


    "WAIT! An obstruction in his meridians should be simr to the obstructions caused by pill toxins, right?" Lin Mu questioned as an idea came to his mind.


    "Hmm… in this case, yes. They should function simrly." Xukong replied.


    "I GOT IT! The toxin cleansing pill! A high grade one should do the trick and if not one, I can add ten more!" Lin Mu said.


    Xukong narrowed his eyes and thought over it for a second.


    "That may… actually work! But he will have to be undisturbed during this time so that the pills show their effect. He will also need to actively get his own spirit Qi, to push it out. So unless that is done, this option will not work either." Xukong replied.


    "That can be done…" Lin Mu said as a dangerous glint shone in his eyes.


    "Wait, what are you doing to do?" Xukong asked, feeling concerned.


    "I''m going to block the lightning for him… I''ve taken it before and I sure as hell can do it again!" Lin Mu said.


    "WAIT!—" But before Xukong could say anything, Lin Mu flew straight towards King Hong.


    <i>~sigh~</i>


    Seeing this, Xukong sighed to himself and shook his head.


    "Youth… they will do as they see fit in the end… I suppose this will be a learning experience for him." Xukong muttered to himself.


    ''Besides, you won''t let it go too far, would you… Xiaofan world?'' Xukong said in his mind.


    <i>~shua~</i>


    Lin Mu moved like the wind and appeared right next to King Hong. Seeing this, Adviser Liu, Hua San, and Hua Wu were stunned.


    "He… he''s actually doing it…" Hua Wu muttered in disbelief.


    "I can''t even…" Adviser Liu was also shocked by the risk Lin Mu was taking.


    Even if someone was a Nascent soul realm cultivator, interfering in a heavenly tribtion was not something that came without a price. Perhaps if this was a normal tribtion, the four of them could havebined their strengths to reduce the impact of the tribtion lightning, but that was not an option with a variant tribtion.


    Besides, that was something done only for tribtions that had less than three bolts. In the case of King Hong, it had already reached four bolts and it didn''t seem like the fourth bolt would be thest one either.


    King Hong was listening to everything as well and felt touched when Lin Mu decided to risk his life toe to save him.


    Lin Mu quickly took out the Toxin cleansing pills and shouted, "open your mouth, King Hong!"


    King Hong did as he was asked and a pill was dropped into his mouth. He had not eaten this kind of a pill before and didn''t know of its effects. But since Lin Mu was the one who had given him this, he was fine with it.
