Lei Qianjiao's words sent a shiver down Wu Tian's spine.
He hadn't expected the Divine Doctor Sect to possess such immense power.
If he were to stubbornly provoke a conflict with the Divine Doctor Sect, wouldn't that be akin to declaring war on all eight great divine sects?
Wu Tian suddenly felt he had been too naive.
He had thought that he was no longer the same as before and should possess sufficient strength.
But now he realized how insignificant he still was compared to these established powers.
Seeing Wu Tian fall into silence, Lei Qianjiao felt perplexed.
She knew Wu Tian had something on his mind. Although she shouldn't pry, she couldn't help but ask softly:
"Um... Wu Tian, what's wrong?"
"I recall your immortal energy also possesses healing effects, much like the people of the Divine Doctor Sect?"
"Could it be that you have some connection with the Divine Doctor Sect?"
Wu Tian did not wish to reveal his affairs at the moment, as the matter was too significant and discussing it would serve no purpose.
Thus, he shook his head and said, "It's nothing. You don't need to worry about this matter for now."
Lei Qianjiao understood the gravity of the situation and ceased her inquiries.
For the next few days, Wu Tian remained at the Sacred Thunder Sect.
Under Lei Qianjiao's guidance, he toured almost the entire sect and met all the high-ranking officials.
His life during these days was quite comfortable. If not for the heavy burdens he carried, staying in the Thunder Realm might have been a pleasant prospect.
But Wu Tian knew he could not immerse himself in such an environment.
To become so content as to forget one's home would ultimately lead to self-destruction.
Therefore, after staying for a week, he told Lei Qianjiao, "I am now familiar with the matters of the sect."
"Since all affairs are being handled by others, there is no point in me staying here any longer. I might as well leave."
"Leaving?" Wu Tian's words startled Lei Qianjiao, who then felt a sense of reluctance.
Her gaze flickered slightly as she asked, "Where... are you going?"
Wu Tian replied, "I'm not entirely sure where I'm going. I'll just wander around and see what happens. I can't just be idle, can I?"
Lei Qianjiao thought for a moment and then said, "If that's the case, why don't you accompany me to the Lei family?"
"To the Lei family?" Wu Tian blinked. "What's wrong, are you going back?"
Lei Qianjiao nodded, "That's right. There's a very important matter at home, though I'm not entirely sure what it is."
"However, my family mentioned it seems to be some kind of inheritance left from ancient times, which requires reaching the True Immortal realm to inherit."
"Now that I meet this condition, it's time for me to go."
"An inheritance from ancient times?" Hearing this, Wu Tian's interest was immediately piqued.
After all, an inheritance that could be passed down from ancient times must be something valuable.
A strong sense of curiosity surged within him, and Wu Tian said, "Alright, I'd like to see it too, so I'll accompany you."
"Also, I'll take the opportunity to visit the Bai family and see how things are going there."
Upon hearing that Wu Tian was willing to accompany her, Lei Qianjiao became immediately happy.
She smiled and said, "Is that so? That's wonderful."
"There's no better time than the present. My family is urging me, so let's go today."
Lei Qianjiao's words made Wu Tian chuckle, "No, listen to how you say that, it's like you're rushing me to get married?"
"Ah?" Lei Qianjiao was stunned, and then her pretty face flushed as if on fire.
She couldn't help but playfully chide, "What nonsense are you talking about."
Wu Tian burst into laughter.
Since everything had been decided, after informing Lei Zhengxuan, the two of them left the Thunder Realm and headed for the Imperial Capital.
At this very moment, the Bai family in the Imperial Capital was facing an unprecedented crisis.
"Bai Haonan! What exactly do you think you're doing!"
In the vast courtyard of the Bai family, Bai Ruoqi's angry shout echoed.
Bai Haonan, with a sinister smile, said, "Don't you understand what I'm doing?"
"I'm telling you, no matter what, I will secure the position of the Bai family patriarch today."
"If you know what's good for you, you'd best stop resisting."
"Otherwise, if any accidents happen, I won't be responsible."
"You scoundrel!" Beside Bai Ruoqi, Old Master Bai, dressed in a Tang suit, was clearly enraged.
He pointed his cane at Bai Haonan and reprimanded him with immense anger, "What kind of behavior is this? Do you still have any respect for me!"
"Bringing so many people here, what are you trying to do, stage a coup!"
As the supreme authority of the Bai family, Old Master Bai was someone Bai Haonan would not dare to be disrespectful to.
But at this moment, Bai Haonan showed no fear whatsoever.
He said with a mocking expression, "Grandfather, you don't need to interject at this time."
"You're already close to death, and the matters of the Bai family have nothing to do with you anymore."
"This is a struggle among us juniors; you can just watch from the sidelines."
"Don't worry, before you die of old age, you will still be the patriarch of the Bai family."
"However, from now on, the specific affairs of the Bai family will be decided by me."
Seeing that Bai Haonan dared to speak to him in such a manner, Old Master Bai's blood pressure surged with anger.
If his body were not robust, he would likely have collapsed from the shock.
Just ten minutes earlier, Bai Haonan had suddenly barged into the Bai family compound with several hundred people.
Without a word, he had taken control of the entire courtyard.
Such a display clearly indicated his intention to seize power and usurp the throne.
He hadn't expected Bai Haonan to be so reckless, and thus he rebuked again, "Bai Haonan, you truly have the audacity of a leopard!"
"Who gave you the courage to dare commit such a rebellious act!"
"Do you still have any regard for your grandfather!"
Facing Old Master Bai's accusations, Bai Haonan remained unfazed.
He smiled and said, "Grandfather, you can't say that."
"If I didn't have you in my eyes, I would have done this long ago. Why would I wait until today?"
"I was originally abiding by the rules, gradually encroaching on Bai Ruoqi's territory, but what did you do?"
"Just as I was about to succeed, you told me that everything before was invalid."
"Shouldn't you be the one who broke the rules?"
"You were the one who acted unjustly first, so you can't blame me for being unrighteous."
Old Master Bai angrily retorted, "I think you're talking pure nonsense!"
"I agreed from the beginning that you siblings should compete fairly, but what have you been doing?"
"I do not approve of your methods. I thought you would learn a lesson from Wu Tian."
"But I didn't expect you to escalate things further, and now you dare to take action against me directly."
"Is this how you reflect on your actions!"
