Chapter 72: Thundercloud

  Chapter Seventy-two: Thundercloud

  Xiao Fan's face was bitter, when he thought that everything about him would be exposed in front of the middle-aged man, suddenly felt that the middle-aged man withdrew his spiritual power. Xiao Fan raised his head to look at him, but saw the middle-aged man smiling faintly at Xiao Fan.

  Xiao Fan didn't understand what the middle-aged man meant, but he also didn't dare ask out loud.

  "Is he a new disciple?" The middle-aged man turned his head and asked Luo Lao.

  "It's exactly." Luo Lao's respectful attitude towards the middle-aged man surprised Xiao Fan, what kind of identity did this middle-aged man have, to be treated with such respect by all the elders.

  "Has he taken a master?"

  The middle-aged man's next sentence made Luo Lao and others' faces change slightly, and several people looked at each other and thought: Oh no, isn't this guy thinking of accepting him as an apprentice? This little guy's talent is extraordinary, if he really accepts him, it would be a waste.

  "Xiao Fang has just completed the third trial and has not yet found a master." Although he was unwilling in his heart, Luo Changlao did not dare to not answer the middle-aged man's words.

  "In that case, I'll take him." The middle-aged man pointed at Xiao Fan and said.

  "This...this..." Luo Chang and the others suddenly felt a wave of difficulty, facing the middle-aged man's request. If he agreed to it, he couldn't bear to hand over such an excellent disciple to the middle-aged man. But if he didn't agree, this person might go crazy again, and even the Sect Master might not be able to protect himself.

  "This...Lei Shixiong, this has made things difficult for me. According to the sect's rules, new disciples must be brought to the main hall to meet the sect leader, and I don't have the authority to hand him over to you." Luo Changlao said with a bitter smile.

  "It doesn't matter, I will go and talk to the master about this." The middle-aged man said calmly, his tone was quiet but left no room for doubt, no one dared to disobey.

  "Well, okay..." Old Luo and the other elderly men looked very displeased, but they didn't dare not agree with the middle-aged man's words, so they could only reluctantly nod in agreement.

  "Come with me."

  The middle-aged man nodded slightly and waved his hand. With Xiao Fang, they rose into the air and disappeared into the distance as a streak of light.

  "Alas, the greatest talent this time was taken away by him, what a pity." After the middle-aged man took Xiao Fan away, Luo Lao sighed softly, with endless regret and remorse on his face.

  "If I had known earlier, I would have taken Xiao Fan to the main hall of the sect immediately. In the main hall, he wouldn't dare be so arrogant." an elder said.

  "Haha, how come he's not daring now? Is there anything in this world that he doesn't dare to do? Have you forgotten what he did back then?"

  Lao Luo sneered.

  As soon as Lao Luo's words fell, the few knowledgeable elders changed their faces and closed their mouths unanimously. When they thought of what happened back then, their hearts trembled with fear.

  "It's really against the will of heaven that this guy's cultivation has become increasingly powerful over the years, and we can't even see through him now."

  An old man scolded angrily.

  "Alas..."

  The crowd of elders, including Old Man Luo, were all deeply moved after hearing this. They raised their heads to gaze up at the sky, feeling as though dark clouds had covered the heavens and the blue sky was no more!

  "Grandfather, what exactly did Leizong Lao do back then? Why are you all so afraid of him?" Luo Yun asked.

  Luo Lao heard this and fell silent for a moment before saying, "The events of that year are a taboo for our San Jue Men, as well as a shame. This matter shouldn't have been known to you, but since you've asked, I'll tell you."

  As soon as they heard that Old Man Luo was going to reveal the secrets of the Three Extremes Gate, both Luo Yun and Chu Cheng's faces showed a look of anticipation.

  The two of them, one was the granddaughter of Elder Luo and the other was a genius from the Gate of Heaven, both were treasures of the Three Absolutes Gate, with a status almost as high as that of an ordinary outer gate elder. However, there were some secrets that they did not know about, and the matter of Lei Yun was one of them.

  He only heard Luo Zhanglao sigh softly, his expression changing, seeming to be afraid, yet seemingly with admiration, slowly opening his mouth: "As for why I understand Ray Cloud Shixiong, it's because he and I, as well as our Sect Master Shixiong, all entered the Three Extremes Gate at the same time. Moreover, back then, our Sect Master Shixiong, Ray Shixiong, and I were all taken in by our master as disciples at the same time."

  "You should have seen the qualifications of our sect's leader, which is one in ten thousand. However, Brother Lei's qualifications are even better than those of Sect Leader. He is the best among all the disciples of his generation because he has a special physique!"

  "It's actually a special physique." This time, not only Luo Yun and Chu Cheng, two young generations, were surprised, but also several elders showed a look of surprise. Although they were elders, they were just ordinary elders, with a status lower than that of Elder Luo, and they didn't know about this kind of secret either.

  "Yes, Master Lei is indeed extraordinary by nature, with a unique talent that stands out from the crowd. Later facts proved that Master Lei was indeed a once-in-a-generation prodigy, breaking through to the Refining Spirit realm and reaching the Inviting Spirit realm in less than three years of cultivation."

  "Three years to reach the Spiritual Realm, such an achievement is probably the best in the vast world of the Wilderness? Who can compare with him?" The crowd was shocked and amazed, such an achievement was unheard of, unseen, and had broken all records past and present. Especially Luo Yun and Chu Cheng, they exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing bitterness. They were among the most outstanding disciples of the Three Extremes Sect, young and talented, reaching the peak of the Spiritual Realm in their early twenties, able to contend with the top sects' younger generation. They had thought their own achievements were extraordinary, but compared to Elder Lei Yun, they felt ashamed.

  "No, there's still much you don't know, and what I do know is that there's one person who can compare to Lei Shixiong." - Luo Changlao.

  "Who is it? How come we don't know?" Several elders almost went mad, three loads broke through to the Ling Spirit Realm, but still not unique, has this world changed?

  "I'd rather not say who it is specifically, but I can say he also comes from a prestigious family."

  Lao Lao continued: "In those years, Master Lei's achievements surpassed all his peers in the sect. Everyone thought he was destined to be the next Sect Master; and Master Lei did not disappoint, his cultivation increasing day by day, outstanding among the best. At that time, everyone in the sect thought they saw hope, that a peerless master would emerge, and the sect would enter a golden age. However, more than 100 years later, Master Lei met a woman while traveling outside, who was the Holy Maiden of the demonic path. The two were a perfect match, and as time passed, they fell in love, disregarding the distinction between good and evil, and privately joined together."

  Upon hearing this, everyone's face revealed a look of astonishment. The distinction between righteousness and evil has existed since ancient times, and the combination of the two is actually a taboo in the cultivation world. That Lei Yun and that demonic saintess would do such a thing is truly daring to defy the heavens.

  "As for what happened later, I'm not quite clear either. Anyway, at that time, the two of us caused a big stir in both the orthodox and unorthodox ways, and we were also despised by both sides. It's not like we became street rats that everyone shouted at, but it was almost that bad."

  Later on, this matter became more and more troublesome, almost triggering a great war between the orthodox and evil paths.

  In order to avoid a full-scale war between the two sides of righteousness and evil, even the top forces of both sides joined forces to send troops to intercept and kill the two!

  "How is it possible? Although Leizong's qualifications are extraordinary, his cultivation has only been for a hundred years. How can he possibly make both the Orthodox and Evil paths take action at the same time? And if both the Orthodox and Evil paths take action at the same time, who in this world can escape?" Luo Yun said with a wide open mouth, speaking in shock.

  Luo Changlao sighed, his heart racing with a hint of admiration "Indeed, at the time, under pressure, our sect also sent out an elder with extremely high cultivation to surround and kill him.

  That battle was earth-shattering, and what left everyone aghast was that Lei Shixiong's cultivation was incredibly high, able to escape from the siege of both righteous and evil paths. However, that demonic sacred maiden vanished into thin air after that."

  "Ah..." Luo Yun's eyes widened, and she whispered: "Isn't that Old Man Lei heartbroken?" She seemed to see a peerless hero standing in front of a lonely grave, tears streaming down his face, with an unyielding spirit, the iron-blooded hero, ultimately unable to escape the tragic fate!

  "Yes, he was heartbroken, but he didn't give up; that's not his style. After recovering from his injuries, he and a good friend of his paid a visit to every single sect that had participated in the siege against him." said Luo Chang.

  "Could it be that Old Man Lei and his good friend had already reached the state of transcending both the righteous and evil paths at that time?" This was a question in everyone's mind.

  "Of course it's impossible, at that time, Lei Shixiong's cultivation had reached the point where he could rival the older generation, but he was still unable to resist the various major sects. Moreover, it is said that his good friend's age and cultivation were about the same as his, however, the two of them actually killed their way into the various major sects, beheading one by one those who had attacked him that day, and even slaughtered the younger generation of the various major sects until they were overturned. However, in that battle, the ones who suffered the most severe losses were not the various major sects, but rather my San Jue Men."

  Luo Lao laughed bitterly: "He joined forces with his good friend to kill the three absolute gates, and then beheaded the elder who participated in the siege. Later, he went on a killing spree, crazily wounding countless elders in the gate, even wounding many of his peers. Fortunately, he still cherished old friendships and did not cause great slaughter. However, from then on, he also established his notorious reputation within the gate."

  Two people, two swords, killing their way through all the major sects, what kind of spirit is this!

  "Why didn't the seniors in the sect take action?" Luo Yun asked, although Lei Changlao was formidable, but the old monsters in the sect should be able to subdue him, why did they tolerate his killing spree all along?

  "This is also what I don't understand. After the incident, a senior elder of the sect came out and personally announced that the matter would be dropped, and no further action would be taken against Brother Lei Yun's actions. What's even more surprising is that both the righteous and evil factions have remained silent about this matter, without mentioning revenge again." said Elder Luo.

  "After that, Lei Shixiong devoted himself to cultivation and only came out of the mountain once twenty years ago. That time also caused a stir in the Eastern Wastes. As for what exactly happened, I won't say more. Alright, some people have already finished their trials and returned. Let's get back on track. Remember, this matter must not be leaked outside, otherwise, you will bear the consequences!"

  "Yes."

  Everyone nodded in agreement, no one dared to provoke Leiyun before, and now after hearing his story, they feared him even more.

  At this time, the golden light on the Demon Tower was flashing, and one after another broke through the barrier. Luo Yun and Chu Cheng went to meet them, but they were absent-minded, constantly thinking about the secret they had just heard.

  Two men with two swords, killing their way up to the major sects, no one can stop them. Such a character, who cannot admire? Who cannot be shocked?!

  What made them even more curious was who the bosom friend of Leiyun Zhenren was. That person must also be a peerless talent in the world, right?
