Chapter 3: Wanhu Zhou (Part 1)

  There are three thunderballs, plus a flash of lightning. The thunderballs come after and the lightning comes first. A cultivator's attack is fastest with two attributes: light attribute and thunder attribute. As long as one is targeted by these two attributes, almost no one can dodge, only forcibly resist.

  The red mask and the black mask didn't even have time to dodge, they were a bit too careless, thinking that their combined strength was enough to overwhelm each other, but unexpectedly the opponent made the first move.

  Lei Xingfeng's lightning strike was aimed at the red-masked Three-Ringed True Person, but the three thunderballs' target was actually the Two-Ringed True Person. The thunderballs' attack was much more ferocious than the electric current. Lei Xingfeng had made a ruthless move against the Two-Ringed True Person; he couldn't let both of them attack him at the same time, or else he would be in a very passive position.

  The red-masked man was caught off guard and struck by the electric current. It's no wonder he couldn't dodge, as a Thunder-type cultivator's attack was extremely fast. Even if he had been fully focused, it would have been difficult to avoid. A layer of golden light appeared and instantly spread throughout his body. He could only barely activate his defense, let alone counterattack, which was completely out of the question.

  With a loud crackle, the red mask was horrified to discover that its defense was useless. Before it could react, it was struck by an electric current as thick as a water bucket and sent flying out.

  The poor Black Mask, all three thunderballs were heading straight for him.

  The first thunderball directly destroyed the Black Mask's defense, and the subsequent thunderballs made him tremble like withered grass in the cold wind. The last thunderball instantly killed him.

  Lei Xingfeng launched two consecutive attacks, one repelling a three-ring True Person and the other instantly killing a two-ring True Person. This completely exceeded everyone's expectations, causing an uproar on the large ship. It was too terrifying, revealing the opponent's fearsome power, no one dared to underestimate him, this guy's strength was too powerful.

  The red-masked man watched as the black-masked man was reduced to ashes, his pupils shrinking rapidly in terror. "Dà Lún Yìn Zhēn Rén!" he exclaimed. A master of the Fourth Ring's true form, he was absolutely no match for him. He couldn't believe that there was actually a terrifying Fourth Ring True Person here, it was simply unthinkable.

  Lei Xingfeng showed no mercy, killing one person after another, and immediately pounced on the red-masked man.

  The red-masked man suddenly shouted: "I'm going to fight you to the death!"

  Lei Xingfeng suddenly stopped and took a defensive stance, watching as the guy finished his explosive drink, turned around and ran. In one step, he jumped onto the big ship, his body not stopping, continuing to sprint towards an even bigger ship in the distance, while explosively shouting: "Get out of here... damn it, set sail quickly!"

  The people on the first big boat were still stunned, while the second big boat had already headed towards the opposite bank of the river.

  Lei Xingfeng let out a wry smile, unexpectedly this guy was able to deceive people. He had no interest in pursuing and killing, standing on the dock, he couldn't help but say: "What's going on? They actually ran away?"

  No one dared to provoke Leixing Peak again, and the three large ships left without hesitation. Leixing Peak was not a butcher, and since the other party had already retreated, he himself did not suffer any losses, so he naturally would not give chase. After all, he did not have any grudges against the Masked Man organization.

  Tan Da brought Wu Zhen over, and Lei Xingfeng said: "Forget it, Tan Da, let's go."

  "Shall we go in?"

  Lei Xingfeng said, "It's not necessary anymore. Even if we go in, it's not certain that we'll find... even if we do find, we'll still have to fight a fierce battle. It's not worth it." He had inexplicably provoked some fake masked organization and was feeling a bit depressed. If his opponent hadn't been so overbearing and aggressive, he wouldn't have made a move either.

  Tan Da understood in his heart that this task was finished, and he estimated that nothing could be salvaged. He felt a bit disheartened and said: "Alright, let's leave here! Damn it!" He couldn't help but curse.

  Lei Xingfeng turned around and walked towards the street exit, which was the only way to leave the small town.

  Three people walked on the main road with their heads hung low, Lei Xingfeng was thinking in his heart. He thought that if they couldn't find anyone this time, it would be better to give up and not continue to entangle themselves, which would be meaningless. He came to find someone, not to kill someone. After thinking for half a day, he said: "Tan Da, is there any sect or force organization around here?"

  Tan Da said: "There are no sects or factions around here."

  Lei Xingfeng said: "Where can I find a slightly larger sect?"

  Tan Da Dao: "This is not a big problem, it can be passed through the wheel point, using the ancient wheel passage... I heard that in the central area of Wanhu Zhou, there are many sects."

  "Alright, this time I'll go find it myself. Hmm, I'll take you to Luandian and send you back, then I'll leave again."

  Tan Da hesitated for a moment and said: "I'm with you... hehe, the two of us still have something to discuss."

  Wu Zhen hastily said: "I'll go with you too, you're all seniors, there must be someone to run errands for you, I may not be able to do anything big, but some small things can be left to me to handle." His attitude was extremely humble, and being able to be with the two true men together wasn't necessarily beneficial, but it absolutely wouldn't be harmful.

  Lei Xingfeng thought for a moment and said, "Alright then, let's go together."

  Tan Da and Wu Zhen were overjoyed, the two men's thoughts were clear to Lei Xingfeng, being together for a long time would naturally make them familiar, regardless of past life or this life, the treatment of acquaintances and strangers is absolutely different, he wouldn't refuse such closeness, this world also attaches importance to personal connections.

  The three of them soon arrived at the Luandian, and through the ancient wheel passage, they entered the central region of Wanhu Zhou.

  ……

  The central region of Wanhu Zhou is basically land, with dense river networks and countless small lakes. Wanhu Zhou is a land of fish and rice, especially in the central region, where there are vast fertile lands, gathering numerous ordinary people, as well as many cultivators and various major sects.

  This place has a dense ancient wheel path, and the area of land is also extremely large, said to be over 200 million square kilometers.

  The population is nearly 100 million, which sounds like a lot, but if you calculate it on average, there are only five people per square kilometer. Therefore, the central region is also where most of the population is concentrated, and most areas are still sparsely populated. Most sects are located near densely populated areas. Even cultivators need to eat, so they won't engage in production activities.

  After several turns of wheeling and dealing, Leixing Peak's three people arrived at the central region of Wanhu Zhou, which is also the densely populated area.

  The so-called densely populated areas, in the central region of Wanhu Zhou, are also dozens of places with the most fertile land and the most abundant mineral resources. The population is relatively concentrated here, where many places have already become large cities, and countless small towns.

  When Lei Xingfeng set foot on this land, he immediately liked it here. The grass was lush and the birds were flying, the green trees were like a carpet, just like the Jiangnan of his previous life, and even better than the Jiangnan of his previous life. The sky here is bluer, the water is clearer, and the air is fresher and more humid. He said: "Good place! Good place!"

  In this life, at Hu Yanbao, the climate was not easy to adapt to, especially in winter, it was almost fatal. It wasn't until he started practicing that he was no longer afraid of the cold. The climate here is much more comfortable.

  Tan Da also came here for the first time, he said: "It's indeed a good place, my previous sect only had a small piece of land, and even that little land was attacked, this land is simply boundless... unfortunately we couldn't come at that time."

  If you can't reach the fourth ring of true body, you won't be able to use the ancient wheel passage, and you won't be able to open the wheel points, so you won't be able to migrate over long distances. This world's terrain is vast, and relying solely on walking migration is almost impossible, especially in areas with treacherous terrain. In the past, at Hu Yanbao, Lei Xingfeng could only move within a hundred kilometers, and beyond that, he was powerless.

  In this world, only sects with Fourth Ring True People can migrate on a large scale. As long as they can open the Wheel Point and use the ancient wheel passage, they can move to distant places. Therefore, the mobility of this world is extremely small. The only ones who can travel long distances are cultivators with Fourth Ring True Bodies. They bring various items and cultivation techniques to different places through migration, which is also why the mobility is so small. The languages in this world are similar, and customs are not much different. The strength of the cultivators can be seen from this.

  It's clear that this hub is frequently used, so after passing the hub, there are seven or eight roads gathered here. Leixing Peak chose a road with the largest width of about 10 meters, on which were all kinds of wheel marks and animal hoof prints.

  "Wu Zhenqi said: 'This... is unbelievable, there are actually so many marks here, many of which are new impressions. Isn't it said that... only a Fourth Ring True Person can open the Wheel Point?'"

  Lei Xingfeng shook his head and said: "I don't know either..."

  Tan Da said: "A convoy is coming!"

  Lei Xingfeng said: "Let's retreat to one side and see how they utilize the Wheel Point?"

  Soon, a fleet of vehicles appeared before Leixingfeng and the others. It was over a dozen oxen pulling large carts, moving at a speed that was not slow at all. They quickly passed by the three people standing on the road and swiftly arrived at the turning point, only stopping then.

  Lei Xingfeng found that the cows here were completely different from those in his hometown, and the carts were also very strange. The cows here actually had fish scales on their bodies, with only one horn on their heads, and a sturdy build. Tan Da saw Lei Xingfeng staring at the cow pulling the cart and knew he must have never seen it before.

  Tan Da laughed and said: "That is a water buffalo, also called a single-horned water buffalo. It can pull a large cart through the water and is the most common draft animal here."

  Lei Xingfeng nodded, this world has many strange animals, he had long learned to be calm and would not be surprised or frightened. The big cart pulled by the single-horned water buffalo was also unique, with a boat-like shape but two huge wheels, also for use in this place with dense river networks.

  All I saw was a person jumping off the big truck, getting close to the wheel hub, stretching out his hand and flipping it over, revealing two crystal-like objects, which were then inserted into the ground. The wheel's power surged in, and all of a sudden, a beam of light flashed, quickly forming a radiant arch-shaped gate.

  Lei Xingfeng suddenly remembered the record of Xing Manluo, and instantly understood that he had seen the record before, but he didn't pay attention to it and overlooked it.
