Three days later.
Tai Xuan Sacred Kingdom, Yu City.
As one of the few prosperous cities belonging to the Lei Clan, the imperial relatives of the Tai Xuan Sacred Kingdom, the aura of the city alone was no less than that of the Zi Wei Immortal Kingdom’s immortal cities.
After all!
The Tai Xuan Sacred Kingdom was far, far superior to the Zi Wei Immortal Kingdom and the like. Although the Tai Xuan Sacred Kingdom had now become history.
However, the aftermath of the Tai Xuan Sacred Kingdom had not yet ended; to be precise, its ripple effects had just begun.
The Lei Clan, the maternal clan of the Crown Prince of the Tai Xuan Sacred Kingdom, was one such entity, and the most likely to replace the Tai Xuan Sacred Kingdom. After all, even before, the Lei Clan was the second largest clan within the Tai Xuan Sacred Kingdom, especially with their most powerful ancestor being at the Eighth Heaven of Stars. This alone would be enough to serve as a minor sacred kingdom in the outside world.
Of course, they were well aware that the Tai Xuan Sacred Kingdom was not comparable to ordinary minor sacred kingdoms. Now that the Tai Xuan Sacred Kingdom had been destroyed, the Lei Clan naturally would not seek help from afar.
Moreover!
Over the countless years, their Lei Clan’s influence within the Tai Xuan Sacred Kingdom had become all-pervasive. It could be said that even if the Tai Xuan Sacred Kingdom had not been destroyed, in another tens of thousands of years, at most a hundred thousand years, the Lei Clan could have replaced the Huangfu lineage of the Tai Xuan Sacred Kingdom.
Yu City, in this region, was undoubtedly one of their most crucial strongholds.
As one of the Lei Clan’s primary bases for subverting the Tai Xuan Sacred Kingdom, it was naturally under the complete control of the Lei Clan.
“Hoo~”
“What a magnificent city.”
Upon entering Yu City, Yu Hongyu surveyed her surroundings. “Just this aura alone rivals that of Hao Tian Immortal City, tsk tsk~”
“As expected, a city belonging to a sacred kingdom is truly affluent.”
Hearing Yu Hongyu’s exclamations, Feng Chen and the others licked their lips. They too had only recently learned that there were sacred kingdoms above Ninth-Rank Immortal Kingdoms. Originally, in their understanding, the Zi Wei Immortal Kingdom was already the pinnacle of existence.
“Master, let’s go to the marketplace.”
Du Gu Xiao Yi then chattered as she, Mu Ling’er, and Bing Xiao Xue headed towards the marketplace.
“Senior Sisters, Junior Sisters, wait for me~”
Seeing her senior and junior sisters leaving, Yu Hongyu hastily followed with her small feet. Feng Chen and the others exchanged glances, smiling bitterly, clearly not very interested in browsing the marketplace.
Compared to that, wouldn’t it be more enjoyable to just sleep?
“Presumptuous!”
“Do you know who I am!”
As Feng Chen and the others were idly standing by, a sharp scolding voice echoed. From the voice alone, it was evident that the speaker was no easy person to deal with.
The person who arrived was a woman, her arrogance unmasked. “Dare to snatch something from me, Lei Ting, you’re seeking death!”
“Haven’t you inquired who Lei Ting is!”
This person was none other than the second young lady of the Lei Clan, Lei Ting. However, she possessed a degree of arrogance that was not entirely unwarranted. As a Third-Rank Dao Ancestor, she was considered a prodigy wherever she went.
As she spoke, Lei Ting had already made her move, clearly intending to forcibly seize the item.
*Slap~*
Before Lei Ting could even get close, she was slapped fiercely across the face. The speed was so great that Lei Ting had no chance to react before being sent flying backward.
This scene stunned everyone present!
Everyone looked at Du Gu Xiao Yi with astonishment. Was this a joke? What had they just witnessed?
In Yu City, someone actually dared to lay hands on a member of the Lei Clan. That girl was in trouble!
The Lei Clan could be said to be the rulers of Yu City, and this was not mere hearsay.
“Bitch, you dare to hit me!”
Lei Ting clearly hadn’t expected the woman opposite her to dare strike her. As the second young lady of the Lei family, she, Lei Ting, had never suffered such treatment before.
That woman must die, otherwise, how could Lei Ting maintain her standing in Yu City and the Tai Xuan Sacred Kingdom.
Moreover, with the Tai Xuan Sacred Kingdom in such chaos, her Lei Clan would soon be the rulers of the Tai Xuan Sacred Kingdom!
“This young lady is precisely hitting you.”
Du Gu Xiao Yi knew full well that the other party was deliberately picking a fight, and she would not let that woman have her way.
“You dare to hit me, Lei Ting, you are all dead!”
Lei Ting glared fiercely at the scene, her face contorted with malice. “If you can leave Yu City alive today, then I am not Lei Ting!”
After issuing a threat, Lei Ting smirked with confidence, for she knew her reinforcements were arriving soon.
*Swish~*
Several sounds of air being torn apart appeared in the scene. This group was the reinforcements Lei Ting had spoken of.
“Big Brother!”
Upon seeing the newcomers, Lei Ting immediately whined and reported, “You must avenge me. It was that woman; she actually dared to hit me.”
“How dare you!”
Lei Ze, the eldest young master of the Lei family, flew into a rage upon hearing that his sister had been beaten. To strike his sister in Yu City was simply courting death.
*Buzz~*
Immediately, the aura of an Eighth-Rank Dao Ancestor surged around Lei Ze, clearly indicating that Lei Ze was a formidable prodigy. However, when he saw the several beautiful women, his eyes lit up.
If he could acquire these beautiful girls, the thought alone was exhilarating.
“Leave the women, kill the men.”
With this thought in mind, Lei Ze gave the order. He himself transformed into a streak of light and shot forward, clearly intending to capture Du Gu Xiao Yi personally to vent his sister’s anger.
At the same time, this would demonstrate to everyone that no one could offend their Lei Clan with impunity.
“Remember in your next life, some people are not to be offended by ants like you…”
*Slap!*
Before Lei Ze could finish speaking, he was struck by a powerful slap from the side. The eldest young master of the Lei Clan, the rulers of Yu City and imperial relatives, Lei Ze, was struck dead before he could even let out a scream.
His body crashed heavily onto the ground with a thud, the sound of cracking indicating that even the sturdy ground had cracked under the impact.
Killing an Eighth-Rank Dao Ancestor with a single palm strike!
This alone demonstrated the strength of this person… at least at the Immortal level, or even stronger.
“Big Brother~!”
Seeing her elder brother die on the spot, Lei Ting’s eyes turned bloodshot. “Bastards, you… you actually killed my Big Brother, call for reinforcements!!”
“These people, no matter who they are, must die!!”
Immediately, an Immortal-level expert from the Lei Clan beside Lei Ting sent out a signal flare.
Were they joking?
Their Lei family’s young master had died on the spot, and this was not something they could bear.
Even…
They might even face the endless wrath of the family patriarch!
*Whoosh~*
*Bang!!*
Brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sky above Yu City. The next moment, no less than a thousand figures appeared from the City Lord’s Mansion. These figures were, without exception, all experts of the Lei Clan who ruled Yu City.
“You killed my Lei family’s young master, how dare you!!”
“Seal off Yu City, I’ll see who dares to do such a thing!!”
At that moment, a majestic voice boomed. This was none other than a Third-Heaven of Stars expert, and he was also the Lei Clan ancestor guarding Yu City.
“Yes, Ancestor Tian Ao!”
With Lei Tian Ao’s command, the four city gates of Yu City were immediately closed. Clearly, they intended to spare no effort in crushing the person who had offended their Lei Clan’s might into dust.
*Swish~*
Various figures appeared in the scene. Over a thousand Lei Clan experts’ gazes were all locked onto Ye Xuan and his group. Du Gu Xiao Yi and the others couldn’t help but be startled upon seeing this. “Good heavens… that wastrel has quite a background.”
