Chapter 1060: Chapter 131: Transformation Heavenly Tribulation

Bai Yue looked at Shangguan Jingling, who had fallen into madness, feeling an unbearable heartache.

The person in front of him was his wife, who he lived with day and night. At one time, they were still deeply in love, harmonious like a perfect melody, managing the city together.

But now, everything had vanished so suddenly. Bai Yue looked at that familiar face, yet a strong sense of unfamiliarity rose in his heart.

Although he was completely unfamiliar with terms like Heavenly Tribulation and Devil Infant, just now, he clearly heard the words “a thousand portions of human clan essence blood” from her mouth.

As a martial artist, Bai Yue was very clear about essence blood, knowing that it’s the essence blood qi within a human body, commonly known as heart blood.

Without that essence blood, the consequences are obvious.

In other words, his wife, unbeknownst to him, had killed at least a thousand lives within Han Yue City!

This was something Bai Yue found hard to accept for a moment.

How could that gentle and virtuous lady transform into this state?

Meanwhile, Shangguan Jingling raised her right hand, with light flowing between her fingers, gathering a blood-colored stream and embedding it into the ground of the courtyard.

The stream in her hand was like a nimble brush, as if writing an article, engraving traces of the formation onto the ground.

“Hahaha, the last portion of essence blood is complete, my Ten Thousand Spirit Array is finally successful! Just wait for me to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation, and I can gather the Devil Infant, becoming a Demon King of my own domain! Hahaha!!”

Shangguan Jingling seemed to have forgotten Bai Yue next to her, focusing solely on perfecting her formation.

From the faintly visible blood-colored traces on the ground, it was apparent that within hundreds of meters centered here, at some point in time, it had already been imprinted entirely with those terrifying blood-colored markings.

Upon seeing this, he regretted bitterly in his heart.

He had been busy handling city affairs for a month, hardly coming back to check on them.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to lay down such a large formation quietly.

Looking at Bai Yue’s pale face, Shangguan Jingling couldn’t help but slightly curve her lips, like a cold smile of having a conspiracy succeed.

She knew that Lord Bai had been influenced by her previous words, losing trust in his wife.

At that point, the original owner of this body would certainly be more pained than dead-hearted, giving her complete chance to take over the body.

With that thought, her smile deepened, deciding to add more fuel to the fire, letting this woman lose hope completely.

However, just as she stepped forward, preparing to say something more, Bai Yue suddenly tightened his face and quickly retreated a few steps, shouting sternly:

“You’re not Ling’er! Demon! Quickly, tell me where you’ve hidden Ling’er!?”

Shangguan Jingling’s steps halted, and her expression froze, evidently surprised by his sudden words.

“Heh, foolish beyond measure, I’ve already said, I am Shangguan Jingling, merely that you don’t really know me…”

Bai Yue, seeing her begin to argue, immediately roared in anger, interrupting:

“Silence! You’re a demon! Truly laughable! I’ve been with Ling’er day and night for twenty-five years, how could I not recognize her!? Stop using your tricks here! Quickly hand over my Ling’er!”

His voice was like a roar, at this moment finally erupting with the aura of a City Lord.

Despite Bai Yue still feeling deeply unsettled, at least on the surface, he had to portray an image of fearlessness.

And he was doing so for another reason: to try to alert the guards outside through voice, waiting for rescue.

It must be said, Shangguan Jingling really paused for a moment under his words, only reacting after a brief spell, her expression turning extremely sinister.

“How did you find out?”

She stared deathly at the man in front, as if she would swallow him whole at any time.

Bai Yue felt his heart leap to his throat, facing such an opponent, a primal fear emerged from the depths of his soul.

This had nothing to do with courage, it was completely like a suppression from the level of life itself, akin to a rabbit encountering a tiger, instinctively wanting to hide.

However, Bai Yue still restrained the impulse to turn and flee.

He knew that in these circumstances, one could not show any fear, nor leave one’s back exposed to the opponent, as that would only lead to a quicker death.

“Perhaps your Blinding Technique mimics well, but there’s one thing you don’t know: Ling’er usually uses her left hand, whereas you just performed magic using your right hand!”

“Just… because of this ridiculous reason?”

Shangguan Jingling’s eyes flared with anger, intense blood energy already gathered between her hands, ready to claim his life at any moment.

Bai Yue, feeling his limbs suppressed and unable to move, not only didn’t panic, but instead laughed heartily, saying:

“Of course, that’s not all. Habits can be hidden, can change, as long as one is willing, deceiving others isn’t difficult…”

He spoke up to here, completely unconcerned about the blood claw drawing closer to his throat, continuing:

“But, I trust Ling’er…”

“I’ve been with Ling’er for over twenty years, I’m most familiar with her personality… She wouldn’t even bear to chase away a spider, how could she commit such a monstrous blood debt?”

His gaze burned, staring intensely into the opponent’s eyes, saying:
