Chapter 329: Heading to the Lei Realm!
?
The situation in the Yan Realm had been resolved, and naturally, Gu Fei wouldn''t stay any longer.
With the current situation, the Yan and Lei ns- being the most powerful ancient ns after the Gu and Hun ns- would pose a great danger if infiltrated by the enemy.
There was no time to waste! He had to head to the Lei Realm immediately to investigate.
As he left, the Yan Realm erupted in chaos.
The news that Elder Huo Xiong had been identified as a Hun n spy spread like wildfire throughout the n.
Fairy Huo Ling, knowing the gravity of the situation, immediately gathered a group of highly respected elders to begin a thorough investigation.
Inside a dungeon filled with scorching mes, Huo Xiong was tightly bound by iron chains. His once powerful physique now appeared weak, and his lifeless eyes stared nkly at the ground.
"Brother, do you remember what happened during our training back in the day?"
An elder with white hair slowly entered the dungeon, looking at Huo Xiong with aplex expression.
Huo Xiong trembled slightly at the question and lifted his head.
"Of course I remember, we trained together... together..."
His eyes flickered with confusion, and he quickly tried to regain hisposure. However, his words faltered halfway, and sweat began to form on his forehead.
"How could you forget that? We trained for three years in that dangerous canyon!"
The elder sighed in disappointment, shaking his head.
Huo Xiong''s face turned pale, and a trace of panic shed in his eyes.
At that moment, another elder entered.
"Do you remember the name of the child we saved together?"
This elder stared at Huo Xiong with piercing eyes, his tone serious.
His body jolted, and a look of fear crossed his face.
"I... I remember..."
He stammered, but the elder scoffed.
"We never saved any child together."
With a cold snort, the elder''s eyes filled with disappointment. As more questions were posed, Huo Xiong''s responses became more and more erratic. His answers were full of inconsistencies, and he even failed to recall basic details.
"So, he really was from the Hun n!"
Anger and disappointment filled the dungeon.
The elders who had once been close to him now looked at him with a mix of pain and fury.
Realizing that his cover had been blown, he suddenly erupted with a surge of immense strength, breaking free from his chains.
"If that''s the case, don''t me me for being ruthless!"
He roared, releasing a terrifying aura. ck mes surged from within him, enveloping the entire dungeon.
But just then, a cold voice echoed.
"Give up your struggle."
Fairy Huo Ling appeared at the dungeon''s entrance, her face expressionless, with icy determination in her eyes.
Seeing her, a look of despair crossed his face. He knew he was no match for her.
"If I''m going down, I''m taking you with me!"
He let out a maniacalugh as the energy within him became dangerously vtile. His body began to swell, as if he were about to explode.
"Courting death!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She scoffed and extended her hand. Instantly, terrifying mes shot from her palm, engulfing himpletely.
"Ahh!"
With a horrifying scream, Huo Xiong''s body turned to ash in the blink of an eye.
In just moments, Fairy Huo Ling had executed the spy who had been hiding in the Yan n for so many years.
Meanwhile, Gu Fei had arrived in the Lei Realm.
Looking around, he saw strange trees shimmering with silver light everywhere. These were the Lei n''s unique silver trees, not only capable of constantly channeling the power of thunder into the world but also serving as an important resource for the n''s cultivation. Above, countless massive bolts of lightning surged through the clouds, apanied by deafening thunderps. The entire realm was filled with a menacing aura of thunder that made one feel as though they could be struck at any moment.
Even the ckened rocks scattered throughout the realm seemed to have been scorched by frequent lightning strikes.
As Gu Fei marveled at the grandeur of the realm, a figure suddenly approached from the distance.
Upon closer inspection, the person was none other than Lei Dong.
"Brother, it''s been a while."
Lei Dong greeted him warmly, sping his fists in respect.
His sharp, lightning-like eyes shed with a mix of joy and slight awkwardness, clearly
pleased yet somewhat embarrassed by his arrival.
"The n leader has instructed me to assist you with the task of rooting out the traitors. We
are honored by your help, brother."
Lei Dong''s tone was respectful and courteous.
Gu Fei nodded slightly, his gaze scanning his face.
He could sense that his attitude toward him had be much friendlier than before, likely
due to his current status and power.
Naturally, Gu Fei didn''t dwell on the past.
"You''re being too polite. Let''s begin."
He smiled faintly.
Lei Dong nodded and led the way as they walked and talked.
"Brother, do you think you''ll seed in this task?"
He asked curiously, still unaware of the true nature of his mission.
Gu Fei frowned slightly.
"No need to ask too much. You''ll see for yourself soon."
He paused before adding, "But let me make this clear- I''m here to help you identify the spies,
not to waste my time."
"I have my own methods. Whether or not you trust me is up to you."
His tone was calm but resolute.
When he helped the Yan n, many had doubted him. Even the spy had dared to question him
directly.
Now,ing to the Lei n, he had to set expectations straight.
Soon, the two arrived at a grand hall deep within the n''s territory.
Countless arcs of lightning danced across the walls of the hall, crackling softly, giving the
impression that anyone who misbehaved here would be struck down instantly.
"This is our n''s assembly hall."
Lei Dong pointed to the hall, his voice tinged with pride.
Gu Fei nodded and nced around the hall.
He could sense the immense power of thunder contained within this ce. Anyone who dared
to act recklessly here would surely be turned to ash by the lightning.
Just as they were about to enter, hurried footsteps sounded from afar.
"Young Master, something terrible has happened!"
A panicked Lei n member rushed over, his face filled with urgency.
"What''s the matter?"
Lei Dong frowned, clearly displeased with the man''sck ofposure.
"It''s the Yan n! They''ve just reported that they uncovered a Hun n spy!"
The man panted heavily, his voice filled with shock.
"You don''t need to tell us that- brother Gu Fei is already here," he waved dismissively.
