Chapter 442: Nascent Soul Heavenly Tribulation

Xie Jiuniang's idea to temper her physical body with the Heavenly Tribulation had failed.

The reason was that the thunder above was unusually mild, as if it was playing a joke on her. Tiny bolts the size of strands of hair struck down at her haphazardly, always slightly off-target.

After the ninth strike, it ceased.

Xie Jiuniang gazed into the sky with a discerning look and silently said, "Was my master's death related to you in any way?"

Crack!

A bolt of Heavenly Tribulation, as though annoyed, struck directly above her head.

It did not hurt Xie Jiuniang, merely blew her hair into a frizzy mess. The lightning coursed through her body, numbingly tingly, somewhat painful but not unbearably so, well within her tolerance.

Yet the death of Chaoyan had left a knot in Xie Jiuniang's heart.

A severe knot, where suppressed hatred was just that—suppressed, not vanished.
