Checking in for 100,000 Years
Chapter 1086: Thunder Wood Region, Lei Family
Thunder Wood Region was a territory in the Divine Land famous for its rich production of thunderwood.
The thunderwood here came in many varieties.
This stretch of land was shrouded in dark clouds all year round. Lightning would fall from time to time, and be absorbed by the thunderwood below.
Many lightning‑attribute cultivators liked to hide away in the Thunder Wood Region to cultivate.
In most territories, the strongest forces were usually sects.
But in the Thunder Wood Region, it was the ancient clans that held the upper hand.
The Lei Family was one such clan.
As a Divine King-level power, the Lei Family’s strength was second to none in the Thunder Wood Region; no one dared provoke them.
So when disciples of the Lei Family walked within the Thunder Wood Region, each of them held their chin high, looking down on everyone.
In the past at the Three Fire God Cult, that Thunderbolt Divine King whom Ye Yun defeated had come from the Lei Family of the Thunder Wood Region.
High above a stretch of mountain range.
As the void rippled, Ye Yun walked out from within.
"This place, Big Black Horse should really like it..."
Feeling the environment around him and watching lightning continually crash down in the distance, Ye Yun gave a faint smile.
This was his first time in the Thunder Wood Region. As for where the Lei Family was located, he still needed to make some inquiries.
His gaze swept around.
Ye Yun saw a few youths in cyan robes chasing several demon beasts in a patch of forest.
Those demon beasts were naturally all lightning‑attribute demon beasts.
Ye Yun flew over.
"Fellow Daoists, I’d like to ask... how do I get to the Lei Family?"
Ye Yun flew nearby and asked with a smile.
His appearance was far too sudden, giving those few youths quite a fright.
"Who are you? Why are you going to the Lei Family?"
One of the youths wiped a few beads of blood from his forehead, frowned at Ye Yun, and showed clear displeasure in his expression.
"Thunderbolt Divine King and I are old acquaintances..."
Ye Yun smiled.
The youth sized Ye Yun up from head to toe, then couldn’t help but burst out laughing. "You? You dare say you’re an old acquaintance of our Lei Family’s Thunderbolt Divine King? What a joke! Hahaha!" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
"Insolence!"
Ye Yun snapped coldly, and with a single slap sent the few of them flying.
He had already seen that these youths were from the Lei Family.
These people were merely low‑level God Venerable Realm cultivators, yet each of them had their nose stuck in the air, arrogant to the bone.
With that one slap, Ye Yun directly beat them half to death.
He walked over and looked coldly at that youth.
"I’ll talk..."
The youth, face full of terror, hurriedly told him the Lei Family’s location.
After getting the information he wanted, Ye Yun turned and left.
As for these few insignificant Lei Family youths, he couldn’t even be bothered to kill them.
Although he didn’t yet know why the Lei Family had abducted his master, the fact that he knew Thunderbolt Divine King made this matter much easier to handle.
Back then, Thunderbolt Divine King had suffered defeat under Ye Yun’s hand once. He believed that fellow wouldn’t be so blind this time.
On his way, Ye Yun restored his appearance to that of Long Yunzi.
An hour later.
Ye Yun appeared high above the Lei Family.
Standing tall in the air, he looked at the great formation below and smiled faintly.
"Thunderbolt Divine King!"
Ye Yun shouted, his voice rumbling as it spread downward.
All the cultivators of the Lei Family were alarmed at this moment.
Many looked up and saw a white‑clad God Venerable Realm man standing in the void.
Because this white‑clad youth had called Thunderbolt Divine King by name, those clan members below the Divine King Realm in the Lei Family did not dare act rashly for the time being.
Inside a secret chamber.
Thunderbolt Divine King, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes.
With a single glance, he saw the familiar figure in the sky.
"What is this guy doing here?"
Thunderbolt Divine King’s brows knitted together as he recalled the scene of their battle back then.
This terrifying white‑clad Sword Cultivator’s swordsmanship was close to Dao itself. With one sword drawn, heaven and earth changed color; it was incomparably terrifying.
His figure flashed.
Thunderbolt Divine King disappeared from the secret chamber.
The next moment, he appeared out of thin air opposite Ye Yun.
"Why have you come?"
Thunderbolt Divine King looked at Ye Yun and asked expressionlessly.
He did not mention Ye Yun’s name.
He was embarrassed to say it in front of the Lei Family members.
That defeat in the past had brought shame upon him within the Lei Family. There were always some clansmen who secretly laughed at him behind his back.
"Did your Lei Family seize Palace Master Cang Ming of the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple from the hands of the Devouring Heavenly Demon Sect?"
Ye Yun asked lightly.
"Yes. But what does the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple have to do with you?"
Thunderbolt Divine King frowned.
How could this terrifying Sword Cultivator be dealing with the Demon Clan?
He had come all the way to the Thunder Wood Region just for that little God Venerable Realm Black Ming Divine Spider?
This left him baffled.
"There is indeed a certain connection, and a rather good one at that. Considering that your Lei Family is far from the Tai Gu Region and may not understand the circumstances, if you release Palace Master Cang Ming right now, I can let bygones be bygones..."
Ye Yun said expressionlessly.
The Lei Family had merely intercepted halfway; they were not the true culprits who had attacked the Ten Thousand Monster God Temple.
He and Thunderbolt Divine King could be considered to have met once.
Thus, Ye Yun intended to use courtesy before resorting to force.
The Lei Family was a Divine King-level power, and this formation was extremely powerful, blocking off his Divine Sense probing. For the moment, Ye Yun could not tell where below his master was being held.
So he would start with the old acquaintance, Thunderbolt Divine King.
Thunderbolt Divine King’s face stiffened. Just as he was about to retort to Ye Yun’s threat, a figure suddenly appeared beside him.
It was a grey‑robed old man with a cultivation base at the God King Stature Third Layer.
His face was gaunt, his eye sockets deep, and his gaze incomparably sharp.
"Lei Lin, who is this person?"
The grey‑robed old man stood with his hands behind his back, temperament extraordinary, and asked indifferently.
"Father, he is Long Yunzi, the one at the Three Fire God Cult back then..."
Thunderbolt Divine King hesitated a moment before speaking.
The grey‑robed old man waved his hand, cutting him off. He stared at Ye Yun for a couple of breaths, then suddenly let out a cold laugh. "You Sword Cultivators do have guts. After bullying my son back then, you actually dare come to our door on your own today. Heaven truly has eyes!"
"Your son fought me over a woman. Teaching him a lesson was only right. You old fossil, do you really have the nerve to make a move on me? Aren’t you afraid I’ll break your old bones?"
Ye Yun smiled faintly, and drew a sword without a ripple in his expression.
This sword was precisely the Silver Dragon Sword strapped to his back.
Using his master’s sword, he would properly discipline this father and son.
"Impudent brat!"
With a flurry of flickering figures, three God King Experts suddenly appeared by Thunderbolt Divine King’s side.
Two were at the Second Layer of God King Realm, and one at the God King Realm First Layer.
Adding Thunderbolt Divine King and his father, there were a total of five Divine King Realm experts.
"With our Lei Family’s five God King Experts moving together, that arrogant white‑clad youth will definitely die this time!"
In a large courtyard of the Lei Family.
A God Venerable Realm clansman stood at the center of the crowd, looking up toward the sky and sneering with disdain.
An old man who appeared to be a steward stood behind, mocking in a low voice, "Our Lei Family has stood in the Thunder Wood Region for several million years, and never has anyone dared come to our door with threats. That brat’s brain must be waterlogged!"
"Hahaha..."
The surrounding clan members couldn’t help but burst into raucous laughter.
In each person’s eyes was a thick look of contempt.
The Lei Family’s five God King Experts were like five towering Sea Calming Needles, allowing the Lei Family to dominate the Thunder Wood Region for millions of years without falling.
Now that the five great experts were taking action together, that white‑clad youth was as good as dead.
Hearing the laughter below, Ye Yun’s expression remained calm; he merely shook his head slightly.
Such petty Divine King Realm cultivators—what were they in his eyes?
