A strong gust of wind swept towards Wu Tian, and he couldn't help but close his eyes.
When he opened them again, he saw Lei Qianjiao shielding him, blocking Chen Dong's attack.
Chen Dong hadn't expected Lei Qianjiao to protect Wu Tian. He immediately showed a fierce expression and said to Lei Qianjiao, "Lei Qianjiao, what do you mean by this? Why are you helping him!"
Lei Qianjiao's expression was already very cold.
She said, "Chen Dong, I think you should stop here. You might be willing to do such a heartless thing, but I am not."
"I already had reservations about you abandoning Wu Tian before, but I didn't expect you to do something so outrageous. Aren't you disgracing our Sacred Thunder Sect?"
"Our Sacred Thunder Sect has always acted with integrity, so I will not allow you to harm Wu Tian today."
Upon hearing Lei Qianjiao's words, Chen Dong's expression became even more ferocious.
He shouted, "Lei Qianjiao, I think you've truly defied heaven, daring to lecture me?"
"Let me tell you, I am your senior brother. No matter what captain or saintess you are, my seniority is greater than yours!"
"You dare to speak to me like this today, I think you truly disrespect your elders!"
Lei Qianjiao said coldly, "Chen Dong, you merely joined the sect before me. That is not your qualification to be arrogant in front of me."
"If you believe my status cannot put pressure on you, then let's settle this with strength."
"If you can defeat me, then you can do whatever you want today. What do you think?"
Chen Dong was stunned.
He was currently only a mid-grade immortal, while Lei Qianjiao was a high-grade immortal. Even if he exerted all his strength, he would not be able to defeat her.
However, he was filled with indignation. Due to their seniority, he had never taken Lei Qianjiao seriously, but now that she dared to treat him this way, he found it utterly unacceptable.
Therefore, he gritted his teeth and said, "Lei Qianjiao, we are fellow disciples, yet you want to oppose me so much?"
"You clearly dislike this brat too. What's the point of you doing this? Are you sick?"
Lei Qianjiao said coldly, "Please watch your words. My helping Wu Tian has nothing to do with our relationship. I simply cannot accept your actions."
"Your actions are completely heartless. If you want me to become like you, then I'm sorry, I cannot."
Chen Dong said, "Conscience? How ridiculous. At this point, you still want to talk to me about this."
"You've lived for over fifty years, how can you still be so ignorant!"
Lei Qianjiao said, "Enough, you don't need to waste any more words with me. In short, I've made my stance clear. If you don't listen, then don't, but you'll have to bear the consequences yourself!"
Seeing Lei Qianjiao's unwavering stance and no room for negotiation, Chen Dong was furious.
He glared fiercely at Lei Qianjiao and said, "Lei Qianjiao, you better think carefully. Do you really intend to oppose me!"
Lei Qianjiao replied, "No, I don't intend to oppose you. I just don't want to oppose myself."
"So, you should listen to me. Since I won't let you go, why are you being like this?"
Chen Dong's body trembled slightly from his intense anger.
After all, it was the spirit core of a Thunder Ox!
If he could devour it, his stagnant strength might just break through!
But now Lei Qianjiao stood in his way, and he knew that if he forced his way through, the losses would outweigh the gains.
There were still so many dangers in this Thunder God Immortal Realm. With Lei Qianjiao's strength, she could definitely be a great help to him, so he absolutely could not fall out with her here.
Therefore, despite his extreme reluctance, he could only grit his teeth and say, "Fi-fine!"
"Lei Qianjiao, go ahead and protect him. Let me tell you, this brat is definitely not a good person. You will regret saving him today!"
"If something truly happens later, don't expect me to come to your rescue!"
With that, Chen Dong turned around abruptly, no longer looking at Lei Qianjiao.
Lei Qianjiao let out a slight sigh, then looked at Wu Tian again and asked, "Are you alright?"
After this incident, Wu Tian's impression of Lei Qianjiao had improved considerably.
After all, no matter what, Chen Dong had intended to kill him, and Lei Qianjiao had undoubtedly saved his life.
He looked at Lei Qianjiao and said, "Thank you. You've helped me a great deal."
Wu Tian's gaze was so sincere that Lei Qianjiao couldn't help but be slightly taken aback, and then her pretty face flushed a little.
After all, she and Wu Tian had been enemies before, but now the atmosphere was a bit too awkward.
She turned her head and stammered, "Wh-what are you saying? Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean to save you."
"If he hadn't gone too far, I wouldn't have bothered to get involved in your affairs!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Is that so? Even so, I still want to thank you."
Lei Qianjiao was not good at handling such situations. She felt a warmth all over her body and couldn't help but put on a nonchalant air, saying, "Alright, alright, don't say these meaningless things to me."
"Don't think that we're close now. Remember this, I won't let go of what you've done to offend me, so you'd better be careful in the future!"
Having said that, Lei Qianjiao felt she had said too much.
She then added, "Let's go, we should head somewhere else."
She intended to take Wu Tian with her, but to her surprise, Wu Tian shook his head and said, "You guys go ahead. I don't plan on leaving with you."
"What did you say?" Lei Qianjiao was stunned, then frowned and said, "You don't trust me?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "I don't distrust you, but I think leaving together might be a burden for me."
"So if you want to leave, then go. You don't need to worry about me anymore."
Lei Qianjiao knew that Wu Tian still held a lot of resentment towards them, and she could understand this situation.
After all, if she were in his shoes, she wouldn't be able to accept it either.
Therefore, she didn't try to persuade Wu Tian to stay. Instead, she nodded and said, "Alright, since you've said so, then I have nothing more to say. Be careful yourself in the future."
After speaking, Lei Qianjiao was about to leave, but at this moment, Wu Tian said, "Wait a moment."
