Chapter 749: Chapter 749: Because You Deserve to Die!

Although Lu Qingcheng knew this idea was far-fetched, the more she looked, the more she felt it was indeed the case!

This Tribulation Crossing Divine Lotus seemed to be beckoning her over?!

Biting her silver teeth, Lu Qingcheng didn’t hesitate for long and took strides toward the Divine Lotus.

At that time, within a hundred meters of the Divine Lotus, not a single person could be seen. After the previous catastrophe, who would dare to approach the Divine Lotus, unless they wished for a shortened life?

“Miss, come back!”

By the time Lu Qingcheng reached the Divine Lotus, Kong Lingxiang and Kong Sheng had just spotted her and were immediately horrified, attempting to stop her.

Did this girl also think she was the destined one for the Divine Lotus and wanted to try her luck?

Where were such good things?

If she failed, it would be a devastating blow, and she might even perish!

Others witnessing this scene also showed derisive expressions. This foolish girl was thinking about seizing an opportunity where so many had failed disastrously—it was sheer ignorance!

“Is that… Qingcheng?”

Engrossed in a fierce battle with Ying Yuan, Lin Yi caught a glimpse of Lu Qingcheng approaching the Divine Lotus and a look of astonishment crossed his face.

Was that woman, daring to try her luck, Lu Qingcheng?

“What is she thinking? Does she believe she could succeed?”

Lin Yi looked astounded. The Divine Lotus was notoriously temperamental, and its criteria for choosing its master was unknown. Did Lu Qingcheng not know, even he had failed?

How could she possibly succeed?

She was likely to be grievously injured!

However, he was currently engaged with Ying Yuan and unable to extricate himself, could only watch as Lu Qingcheng approached the Divine Lotus!

“This is bad.”

Lin Yi’s expression darkened, predicting the next scene where Lu Qingcheng would be struck by lightning!

However, to Lin Yi’s great surprise, the scene of Lu Qingcheng being struck down by lightning did not occur. Instead, the Ancient Lightning, which normally fiercely struck at anyone, merely brushed past her without harming her in the slightest!

Not only that, but strands of lightning wrapped around her body, forming a colorful Lightning Holy Robe on her, protecting her within!

“How is this possible?”

Such a scene left those strong beings, who had nearly been killed by the lightning, dumbstruck!

Was this the same lightning that had nearly killed them? Why did it treat this woman so gently?

Could it be, this young girl was the chosen master of the Divine Lotus?

“This can’t be possible!”

Ying Yuan, witnessing this scene, also showed a face full of absurdity. The Ancient Tribulation Crossing Divine Lotus hadn’t recognized even him, a former top of the Quasi-Saint List, so why this girl?

It absolutely couldn’t be!

Yet at that moment, under the cover of the dazzling lightning, Lu Qingcheng was unharmed. Strands of Ancient Lightning coursed over her body’s surface, imparting an odd sensation.

Her gaze fell on the Divine Lotus, but before she could act, the Divine Lotus had already moved of its own accord from the water surface and entered her body.

There was barely a ripple of disturbance.

“The Tribulation Crossing Divine Lotus has truly chosen this little girl as its master!”

Many exclaimed in astonishment. The daunting Tribulation Crossing Divine Lotus, making a choice that left many baffled—had this girl named Lu Qingcheng really been so incredibly fortunate to gain the favor of the Divine Lotus?

“No, this might not be luck at all!”

Finally, an elderly man shook his head, his eyes twinkling as though he had discerned the crux of the matter. “Miss Luo possesses the Water Spirit Treasure Physique, the most cherished physique by plant spirits. Though the Divine Lotus is an Ancient Holy Object, it still belongs to the realm of plant spirits!”

“The Divine Lotus can continue to nurture and grow within the Water Spiritual Treasure Physique, constantly providing its master with the essence of its medicinal power. Both can form a symbiotic relationship!”

With this explanation from the elderly man, everyone suddenly saw the light. It seemed the selection of Lu Qingcheng by the Divine Lotus was no accident, but a deliberate choice by the Divine Lotus itself!

After all the confusion, was Lu Qingcheng the fated owner of the Divine Lotus?

Moreover, with Lu Qingcheng being chosen by the Divine Lotus, it meant that even if others attempted to seize it forcefully, they wouldn’t succeed. Not to mention that the Ancient Lightning had formed a Battle Armor that protected Lu Qingcheng within—who could get close to her?

“How boring!”

Seeing that the Divine Lotus already had an owner, the crowd lost interest in this place. They had primarily come for the Divine Lotus, and now that it had an owner, there was no point in them staying any longer!

The ruins of the Heavenly Destiny Dynasty were vast, surely more than just the Divine Lotus lay within—there must be other treasures!

People scattered in all directions, and the crowd quickly dwindled by eighty to ninety percent. Even Ying Yuan didn’t want to tangle with Lin Yi any longer. “Peacock boy, the Divine Lotus has fallen into another’s hands. There’s no need for us to continue this futile struggle here.”

“Shall we cease the battle and leave separately?”

Ying Yuan looked intensely at Lin Yi. If it had been anyone else, he would have insisted on a conquest before leaving. However, this Peacock boy had indeed shown remarkable skill. Ying Yuan had exerted his full strength but still couldn’t get the better of him, prompting him to propose a truce.

In his eyes, Lin Yi couldn’t bother him either. There was no reason for him to refuse!

Staying here and continuing the fight would be of no benefit to Lin Yi.

“Alright!”

Lin Yi nodded, agreeing very readily, “Continuing our battle is meaningless. Leave!”

Seeing Lin Yi agree to the truce, Ying Yuan then turned around, signaling to the four strong men from the Yinglong Dynasty who were clashing with Little Jin, to cease the battle and leave.

However, just as they were about to move, Lin Yi and Little Jin exchanged a glance, both catching a glint of icy determination in the other’s eyes.

“Kill!”

Almost simultaneously, the two launched a fierce attack, striking directly at Ying Yuan’s back!

“You?!”

Ying Yuan was shocked. Although cautious, he hadn’t quite expected Lin Yi to launch an attack!

He shielded his body with Dragon Wings, defending with all his might, but still, Lin Yi and Little Jin together managed to blow him away!

A spurt of Dragon Blood sprayed out, and Ying Yuan’s expression darkened to the extreme, “Boy, what on earth are you trying to do?”

The Divine Lotus already had an owner; there was no conflict of interest between Lin Yi and him anymore. Why wouldn’t this boy let things go and even resorted to attacking?

“Want to know why?”

Looking at the perplexed Ying Yuan, Lin Yi smiled grimly. “The reason is very simple.”

“Because you deserve to die!”
