Ma Tianxin saw the remains of what was previously senior Bu disperse into the storm that raged above. His face lost all color as dread filled his heart at what he had just seen.
"What… what just happened?" he asked fearfully.
"You are not allowed to interfere in the Lightning Tribulation of someone else. No matter if you're trying to aid or not," Alex said. "He who interferes faces Heaven's judgment."
"That… that bolt of lightning was from the heavens?" Ma Tianxin looked to the sky again. "Is your pet going to be fine?"
"Yes," Alex said without hesitation. He did not doubt that Pearl would overcome this. All he worried about was that he would be hurt a bit in the process.
'As long as the tribulation lightning isn't as strong as when they were for me, he should be fine,' Alex thought.
He and Ma Tianxin watched as Pearl stood on all four and flew upwards. As he did, the first of the nine lightning flew down from the heavens.
