Chapter 61: The Dregs

  The sixty-first dregs

  Tang Yan's actions in Ningyang City had quickly spread to the Dongfang family and the palace. The head of the Dongfang family began making a very secret decision about Tang Yan. Meanwhile, King Nan Gong of the palace, who was also Nan Gong Xiangxue's father, started getting headaches over Tang Yan, the troublemaker. He didn't care that someone had been killed in Fengdu City and the city lord had died - those city lords were just pawns placed there by other families anyway. After their death, King Nan Gong would have a chance to weaken the power of the families. However, he hadn't expected Tang Yan to cripple the young master of the Dongfang family. Now, the Dongfang family and two other family heads were putting pressure on King Nan Gong: on one hand, they wanted him to punish Tang Yan for killing an official; on the other hand, they wanted him to hand Tang Yan over to the Dongfang family to deal with.

  No matter which aspect, it's not a good thing. The crime of killing officials is at most just house arrest, but handing over to the Dongfang family, who knows what will happen. This time, the Dongfang family has taken a tough stance, if they don't hand over the person, this king can be replaced by other families at any time. Over the years, how could Wang Nan Gong not know about the movements of these families? If the Wang Nan Gong family hadn't obtained the inheritance of the Purple Dragon Qi, they would have been replaced by other families long ago.

  "Your Majesty, this time the attitude of the Eastern House's master is very tough. We can't hold him back anymore. If we don't hand over that little brat, other noble families will definitely take advantage of the situation." A strategist beside Wang Nangong said to him.

  "I know, I know, but don't worry, trust that the sect masters won't let the East family get away with it. You go spread the news and let those sect masters know that the East family is mainly after Tang Yan's life. Let's see how they react. If they don't react, then I can only do it that way!" Nan Gong Wang said to him.

  "Your Majesty is wise, I think so too. Let me handle this matter, I know what to do!" The strategist smiled slightly upon hearing Wang's words from the South Palace.

  "You just need to know that now we've found the person inside the forbidden land, as long as we get the dragon jade key from each of their families, then everything else will be easy!" said Nangong Wang. At the same time, he was also thinking: "Hmph, I've had enough of you all these years, it's best if the sect and the families exhaust each other to mutual defeat!"

  As expected, the news spread and the various major sects of the Purple Dragon Empire began to put pressure on the Dongfang family. The power of the sects was not comparable to that of the family, but their manpower was much stronger. The Dongfang family, which had existed for thousands of years, would naturally not be afraid of these sects. Regarding this matter, the Dongfang family also knew that someone was plotting something, so they remained calm and sent out some people to monitor the movements of each sect.

  Since the news has spread to various sects, it will naturally reach Lao Lei's ears as well. As the leader of a sect, he has many informants, and whenever there is any movement, someone will surely report the news to him.

  "Little kid, I've got a piece of good news and a piece of bad news for you. Which one do you want to hear?" Lei Lao said to Tang Yan.

  "Speak up, don't play dumb, I've been through everything!" Tang Yan said, thinking to himself: "Damn it, I have to think of a way to get the Eight Thunderclap Fists technique from him, it'll be perfect for interrogating and punishing evil people in the future!"

  "The bad news is that the Eastern family wants to hand you over to the emperor, but another piece of news is that the masters of various sects are standing on your side. It seems that receiving those several hundred thousand gold coins was a good choice. Hehe, kid, I have high hopes for you!" Lao Lei said with a smile to Tang Yan.

  "If you really think I'm good-looking, then teach me the last eight moves of the Lei Ting Jue to save my life. Who knows, maybe in a few days I'll learn it and have one or two moves to save my life. You saw yesterday, I just kept using those same two moves!" Tang Yan said to him.

  "You're right again, kiddo. Let me tell you a secret!" Lao Lei said with a nod, looking around cautiously before speaking in a low voice to Tang Yan.

  "What's going on?" Tang Yan asked this mysterious old thing.

  He didn't expect Old Lei to tell him that he wanted Tang Yan to find a way to get Nangong Xiangxue, and then let Nangong Xiangxue pass on the ultimate technique from the royal family: the Purple Dragon Seal! After saying this, Old Lei patted Tang Yan's shoulder and smiled, "That thing is one level higher than the Thunderbolt Palm!"

  After hearing Lao Lei's words, Tang Yan smiled wryly. No wonder Lao Lei and he were whispering to each other, it turned out that they were afraid of Nan Gong Xiang Xue hearing, and then beating him into a pig head. As for Lao Lei's suggestion, Tang Yan also agreed with it somewhat, but whether it could succeed was another matter. Still, Tang Yan still liked the Thunder Palm very much, using it to extort confessions was an excellent technique.

  Calculating the time, at this speed, it will take at least 50 more days to reach Zidi City. Compared to Snow Boundary, that means Tang Yan has 500 days to cultivate. Within these 500 days, it's possible for Tang Yan to reach a level above Dou Wang.

  "That's not something that can be grasped in an instant, sigh, forget it. Since you're so insincere, I won't consider taking you as my disciple!" Tang Yan said, seeing Lao Lei hesitating to pass on the Thunderbolt Heart Method to him.

  "Come on, how can you say I'm not sincere? If I wasn't sincere, I wouldn't have taught you the first move. Alright, now I'll teach you the second move. But remember, if you drop your level, it's none of my business, and I won't compensate you for anything!" Lao Lei said, recalling Tang Yan's shameless words.

  "Don't worry, even if I'm lazy again, I won't be lazy a second time!" Tang Yan smiled and replied to Lei Lao when he heard that he was going to pass the second move on to him.

  "It's fine, but I think you can still slack off for the second and third time. Your face is not ordinary thick!" Leilong said while passing on the Thunderbolt Manual to him, glancing at Tang Yan's smiling expression.

  Eastern and Zongmen affairs, Nan Gong Xiangxue didn't know about them? Earlier, Lao Lei's words were also heard by Nan Gong Xiangxue. However, she did not scold Lao Lei nor hit Tang Yan. She just guarded against Tang Yan, the pervert, in her heart and wouldn't let him get his way unless he really could become a saint. Maybe then it would be worth considering.

  After the second Thunderclap Heart Method was passed on to Tang Yan, Tang Yan began to meditate again. This time, they split into two horse-drawn carriages, one with Zi Lan and Tang Yan, driven by Lei Lao. The other had Xuan Yuan Yue and Nan Gong Xiang Xue, driven by Nan Gong Bo Ya and the two elders.

  No way, the last time Tang Yan's internal Qi exploded, they were seen through by Tang Yan, now they don't want a second time. As for Zilan this little junior sister, she has determined that this fiancé is hers, and since her body has been seen before, she doesn't mind having another time, and she also understands Tang Yan's character very well. If Tang Yan was really a man who thinks with his lower body, Zilan would have been taken by Tang Yan for the first time, and wouldn't still be a virgin until now.

  After entering the snowy realm, Tang Yan did not rush to practice the Thunderbolt Technique, but instead practiced the Devouring Dragon Technique first. This was the main focus, as each cycle of the Devouring Dragon Technique would increase his spiritual power. If he wanted to devour the dragon soul, he needed strong spiritual power. After practicing the Devouring Dragon Technique, Tang Yan then began to practice the second layer of the Thunderbolt Technique that Lei Ao had passed down to him. Although the second layer was a bit more difficult than the first, due to Tang Yan's extraordinary spiritual power, he mastered it within three days and three nights in the snowy realm, which was equivalent to only six hours in real time.

  After mastering the Thunderbolt Technique to the second heavy sky, Tang Yan felt that he was on the verge of breaking through the Three-Star Great Fighting Master and entering the Four-Star. With just a few more days of practice, he could reach the Four-Star Great Fighting Aura.

  "Is your Thunderbolt Technique a fake? How did you master it so quickly? I really suspect that there's something wrong with your Thunderbolt Technique!" Having mastered the Second Heaven, Tang Yan started to attack Lao Lei again.

  "You mean to say you've mastered the Second Heaven in just half a day?" Lao Lei asked upon hearing Tang Yan's words.

  "Of course, your Thunderbolt Technique is also too weak, it can be practiced in a few weeks, if I had a third or fourth heavenly day, I believe it would take only one day to master." Tang Yan said that Lao's ultimate skill was trash.

  "I don't believe it, you're going to get a second one for me to see!" Lao Lei said with an incredulous expression after hearing Tang Yan's words.

  It's not that Lei Lao didn't believe, but rather that the second heavy heaven of Lei Tian Jue took him over a year to master, and each subsequent heavy heaven took twice as much time. Tang Yan mastered it in half a day, and even if he was beaten to death, he wouldn't believe it. Even if Tang Yan is a genius, he can't be so against the heavens.

  Tang Yan naturally knew he would ask this, so he activated the Thunderbolt Technique's second layer of Heaven. Originally in the first layer of Heaven, his palm only emitted a faint blue light; now that the second layer was complete, tiny lightning bolts like fine hairs appeared on his palm, and the electric sparks between his fingers shone brightly. His two hands slowly approached each other, and the small electricity inside the palms mutually attracted each other, then slowly pulled apart again, with dozens of small lightning bolts flashing like broken threads.

  "Really, really trained for the second heavy day, too, too against the sky! Well, seeing that you've trained to the second heavy day, I'll consider passing on the third heavy day to you, but there's one condition." Lao Lei said as he saw Tang Yan display the energy of the second heavy day.

  "What are your requirements? Speak up, but let's make one thing clear: I don't have much money, no elixirs, and certainly no spare women!" Tang Yan rattled off several topics in one breath.

  "You think I'm you? I don't lack money, nor do I lack women. My request is simple: if one day you enter the forbidden land to pick the immortal medicine or open that tomb, you have to give me something in return. Best would be a priceless secret manual, how about it?" Lao Lei said with a smile, looking at Tang Yan.

  "Is the Heavenly Secret worth a sky-high price? I must say, you're quite good at math. Can your Thunderbolt Manual compare to the Heavenly Tier Secret? Even if it can, at most it's just a tie. In the end, I'm still the one who loses out... but never mind..."

  Listening to Tang Yan's words, Lei Lao didn't feel embarrassed at all. His Thunderbolt Technique compared to the Heavenly Stage was at most only on a lower level. If he could get another Life-Extending Pill, the biggest beneficiary would still be him. He didn't need to do anything, and he didn't even need to kill the magical beasts inside. It was just a matter of using a broken Thunderbolt Technique to exchange for something valuable. He knew it was impossible to deceive Tang Yan, but from Tang Yan's tone, there was still room for negotiation, and his eyes lit up.

  "But what's up, come on, I know you're not so easily fooled!"
