Chapter 101: A Disciple from the Heavens
Yun Jiao was startled and hurried outside. The sky was filled with rolling thunderclouds; streaks of white lightning danced through the clouds, and in their very center, a figure stood wrapped in a sphere of white light. The man wore a long snow-white robe, immortal aura surrounding him. Though his hair and beard were white, he showed no trace of age—standing upright in the heavens, his mere presence radiated an overwhelming pressure that poured down over the earth.
This was… a real immortal descending from the heavens!
Yun Jiao’s heart gave a violent thump, instantly going cold. She suddenly felt like a mischievous child who’d caused trouble outside and now had the victim’s parent coming to demand justice.
“G-girl!” The old man also sensed the change in the sky and rushed out from the study on the other side. “What on earth—”
Before he could finish, his knees buckled as if crushed by an invisible weight, and he dropped straight to the ground. His blood surged violently, and a sweet metallic taste rushed up from his chest.
“Old man!” Yun Jiao cried out, rushing over to help him up. “Are you all right?”
“S-such… immense pressure.” The old man finally caught his breath, still pale with fright. He looked up uneasily. “What’s happening? Who is this person above?”
Yun Jiao didn’t have time to explain. Another clap of thunder rumbled through the heavens, and this time, the bolts did not fall outside the temple—they struck directly within it. The deafening crashes were endless. What few side halls remained standing were blasted apart one after another.
“Girl, watch out!” The old man grabbed Yun Jiao and pulled her aside just as a lightning bolt as thick as an arm came crashing down.
