Chapter 1073 Divine Thunder (5)
BOOM!
The golden tide produced by Lei Jin put up a full ten seconds of resistance toward the violet thunderstorms before gradually disappearing.
When everything calmed down, Lei Yubai’s Spiritual Sense spread out, and he discovered that Lei Zhenxiang’s group had already vanished from the Divine Thunder Palace’s territory.
“Trash!” Lei Yubai glared at Lei Zhu and the others before sitting back in his seat.
He took a deep breath to suppress his anger and turned to the group of elders. “Send our people out, trying to suppress the news as much as possible. Also, keep an eye on those port cities. They will certainly leave the Central Continent.”
“Understood.” The elders said in unison and quickly dispatched people.
Lei Yubai turned to Lei Zhu and asked coldly. “Did you purposely let him go?”
During the battle between Lei Zhu and Lei Zhenxiang, Lei Yubai could see that Lei Zhu didn’t go all out and even deliberately took some hits.
Lei Zhu stared at Lei Yubai and said nothing.
Lei Yubai let out a cold snort. “This will be the last time. Get out!”
Lei Zhu lowered his head slightly and walked out of the hall under Lei Yubai’s cold gaze.
“That bastard…” Lei Yubai looked at the destructive scene in front of him and cursed in a low voice. Lei Jin was an important figure during the previous palace master’s era.
***
Somewhere deep in a forest several thousands of kilometers away from the Divine Thunder Palace’s territory, Lei Zhenxiang’s group stood silently while looking in the Divine Thunder Palace’s direction.
Lei Feifei’s eyes reddened from crying. Lei Jin had been with her since she was young. To her, he was like a father figure. Whenever she encountered a problem or secretly cried, he would always be there for her… But now, there was no more.
“Leader, you can blame me all you want, but we must leave here first.” Qin Wuji broke the silence. A trace of sorrow could be seen in his eyes.
The moment he received a signal from Lei Jin, his heart shook violently, but he knew this was the only way for everyone to get out of such a dangerous situation. Otherwise, everyone would have been buried under Lei Yubai’s mighty power.
“Bastard! Who let you bring me away!?” Lei Feifei raised her hand and slapped Qin Wuji’s face. “Give Uncle Jin back to me!”
Lei Zhenxiang stepped forward and stopped Lei Feifei’s hand. “I’m sorry. You should blame me instead of him.”
He stared straight into her eyes and said. “All of you have been implicated by me… I am too weak. Had I become stronger, everything wouldn’t happen.”
Lei Feifei stared at her brother with tearful eyes. As much as she hated him, she didn’t say anything in the end. After all, it was her choice to go back instead of fleeing, as he suggested.
Seeing that she had calmed down, Lei Zhenxiang turned to Qin Wuji and said apologetically. “I apologize to you on her behalf. She didn’t mean it.”
Qin Wuji shook his head slightly. “This is what I am deserved. It should be me instead of Senior Jin.”
Lei Zhenxiang sighed and said. “There’s no point in blaming ourselves further. Let’s leave first.”
“Where are we going?” Gong Yanhong asked. “I believe they have already placed their people in every port city.”
“Why don’t we go to the Northern Continent? I heard that Palace Master Lei has a good relationship with Palace Master Han.” Jian Mu, who was stuffing a healing pill into his mouth, said.
Everyone looked at Lei Zhenxiang, waiting for his decision.
Lei Zhenxiang frowned slightly and asked. “How’s the situation over there? Has the Poison Valley succeeded?”
Jian Mu quickly replied. “No. There was an expert named Yun Lintian appeared and turned the tide by himself. The rumors said that he had severely injured the Northern Endless Sea Lord and drove him back to the Endless Sea. However, Palace Master Han seemed to lose her power after using a forbidden technique.”
Lei Zhenxiang’s pupils shrank as he hurriedly asked. “How’s she now?”
Jian Mu shook his head. “We have no idea, but she should be fine.”
Lei Zhenxiang nodded slightly and frowned. “Yun Lintian…?”
Jian Mu thought of something and said. “Right. I heard that this Senior Yun is actually a young man in his twenties.”
“A young man?” Lei Zhenxiang was surprised.
Jian Mu nodded. “Yeah. It’s impossible, right? How could a young man in his twenties possess such a high power? Maybe he’s an old monster who maintains his appearance well.”
Suddenly, Lei Zhenxiang thought of Mu Chen, whom he had recognized as his younger brother. When he sent him to the Western Continent, he had left his people to protect him in secret, but it turned out that he was overthinking. This Mu Chen’s strength was beyond his expectation.
Later, he got the news that Du Huanfeng was looking for Mu Chen, but he was caught by Lei Yubai first before getting more information.
According to his investigation, this Mu Chen came from the Northern Continent, and his name was likely to be a fake name… He didn’t know why he suddenly thought of him when he heard the name ‘Yun Lintian.’ Perhaps he subconsciously thought they were the same person as both of them were young and possessed an abnormally high strength.
Unfortunately, Lei Zhenxiang had lost his belongings. He could not contact Han Bingling right now.
A moment later, he shook his head and said. “We cannot go there. Lei Yubai must have guessed about it, and I don’t want to bring trouble for her.”
“We should go to the Eastern Continent.” He said further. “There’s a place called Boundless Desert. That place is suitable for us to hide for a long time. Moreover, a lot of heavenly resources could be found there.”
Qing Wuji echoed. “That’s really a good place.”
He originated from the Eastern Continent and naturally knew about this place. He had even been there once.
Seeing that no one had an objection, Lei Zhenxiang and the others prepared to move.
Suddenly, Lei Feifei knelt on the ground and kowtowed toward the Divine Thunder Palace. “Uncle Jin, I will leave first, but you don’t have to worry. I will definitely come back and make them pay the price.”
