Chapter 5609: Calmness

Ji Dali casually threw a pill to Lei Ao and patted his head.

Lei Ao looked at the pill in his hand, then with a stiff expression he dodged Ji Dali's hand that was playing tricks on his head.

The look of a little adult on his face made Ji Dali laugh again.

Lei Ao sat cross-legged quietly on the ground, swallowing the pill and preparing to use his magic power to refine it.

However, he discovered that the elixir actually turned directly into pure spiritual energy, which flowed into the spiritual veins around his body and replenished the loss caused by these days.

However, in just a cup of tea, the damage to Lei Ao's spiritual veins caused by the pursuit in the past few days was completely restored.

He slowly opened his eyes, and before Lei Ao could feel surprised at his recovery, he found a circle of people standing in front of him.

Xuanyuan Li and Ji Dali stood on both sides, while Zhang Yifeng was facing Lei Ao who was sitting cross-legged on the ground.

"You, what are you going to do?"

"There is no way I will hand over the key to the Imperial Treasury to you!"

Lei Ao shouted nervously, feeling that he might have boarded the wrong ship.

But now that he was surrounded by people inside and outside, it was impossible for Lei Ao to escape.

"You little brat, didn't I tell you before that if I wanted to do something to you, there's no need to wait until now."

"Not to mention healing your wounds and giving you a chance to escape."

Zhang Yifeng shook his head and spoke to Lei Ao calmly.

After hearing this, the tension on Lei Ao's face was slightly reduced.

After all, he had witnessed Zhang Yifeng's strength before, and he knew that this elegant young man in front of him definitely had the ability to kill him instantly.

Perhaps it was the aftereffects of the hunt and killing experience over the past few days, as well as the massacre of his entire family overnight, that caused Lei Ao to remain in a state of high tension.

The expression on his face gradually relaxed, and Lei Ao finally regained his composure.

He stood up and bowed to Zhang Yifeng, saying, "Greetings, Senior. My name is Lei Ao. May I ask why you came to my rescue?"

Lei Ao stood still after saying this, but the remaining nervousness in his heart made him unconsciously lower his head slightly.

"Oh, I saved you for a reason, but even if you don't have what I want, I will still help you if I can."

Zhang Yifeng's straightforward words immediately shocked Lei Ao.

He subconsciously raised his head and looked at the otherworldly young man in front of him in disbelief.

"So, Senior, you are here for the key to the Imperial Treasury that my Lei family has guarded for generations, right?"

"I'm sorry, although you saved my life..."

Lei Ao gritted his teeth and was about to continue with his previous speech.

However, Zhang Yifeng waved his hand and said indifferently: "Neither gain nor loss is what I desire."

"If you want to hand over this so-called key to the imperial treasury to me, I will naturally send it to you. I have no intention of forcing you."

"Although one of my friends told me that it would be fine to imprison you and interrogate you, I still prefer a more peaceful approach."

After saying this, Zhang Yifeng turned around and looked towards the sea of ​​stars in the distance.

Lei Ao's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, and he raised his eyes slightly to look at the tall figure in front of him.

Just from the way he talked, he could feel the aura of a master emanating from Senior Zhang in front of him.

This is countless times more powerful than those bandits who slaughtered the Lei family and hunted him day and night.

"Let's put aside the matter of the Imperial Treasury Key for now. I am more curious about your story."

"How did these bandit cultivators massacre the entire Lei family overnight?"

"After all, in my opinion, the Thunder God Sword you have is not an ordinary magic weapon."

"With this sword, the user should be able to be safe even if he is surrounded by dozens of monks of the same realm."

Zhang Yifeng turned around and looked at Lei Ao with a slight movement in his eyes.

Hearing this, Lei Ao couldn't help but reveal a look of pain on his face.

Obviously, his words had brought back sad memories that the young man in front of him did not want to recall.

But even so, Zhang Yifeng did not change his mind and continued to stare at Lei Ao.

"Huh, the reason is that our Lei family accepted a group of monks who came to seek refuge with us."

"Although they don't look like good people at first, our Lei family's benevolence and righteousness have long been known throughout the Four Seas Continent, and we have no intention of abandoning these people who come to seek refuge with us."

"But it was this kindness that ultimately harmed our Lei family."

"Those guys actually threatened us with my Lei family's relatives who had no fighting ability and asked us to lay down our weapons and surrender. They also said that our safety would be guaranteed if we surrendered!"

Lei Ao said this, clenching his fists tightly.

"Well, it's a simple trick, but it often poses a deadly threat to those who are righteous."

Xuanyuan Li stood beside Zhang Yifeng and analyzed in a deep voice.

Obviously, the so-called surrender and survival is just a lie of the bandits. Their real purpose is to remove all the defensive forces of the Lei family.

Needless to say, the final result was that the kind-hearted Lei family was ultimately ruined by their own benevolence.

Perhaps the only one who escaped from the entire Lei family was Lei Ao in front of them.

"Compared to other people, my parents were more calculative. They specifically handed the Thunder God Sword and the Imperial Treasury Key to me, allowing me to escape from the Lei family during the chaos."

"But there are others, including my parents..."

As Lei Ao spoke, his eyes reddened slightly, and the roar of his parents, telling him to run away, seemed to still echo in his ears.

"That's enough. No need to say any more."

"The journey ahead is still long, so save some energy and focus on yourself."

Zhang Yifeng said this in a calm voice, and then raised his hand and a light covered Lei Ao's body.

Immediately, Lei Ao's entire body was bathed in spiritual light, and the expression on his face gradually calmed down.

Lei Ao pursed his lips and looked up at Zhang Yifeng. He wanted to ask something but was afraid of angering this powerful senior.

In the end, he just lowered his head and didn't ask any more questions.

Zhang Yifeng did not react further when he saw this. He just walked to the bow of the ship and continued to look into the distance.

Seeing this, the others who were surrounding Lei Ao also dispersed and went about their own business.

The crowd dispersed at once, and Lei Ao felt an inexplicable sense of loss.

He continued to curl up in the corner of the flying boat, holding the Thunder God Sword tightly in his arms.

"Yifeng, what are you going to do next?"

Xuanyuan Li slowly walked up to Zhang Yifeng and asked in a low voice.

What he asked was naturally about how to deal with Lei Ao next and the direction of all of them.

"Well... let's head towards Sihaizhou."

Zhang Yifeng groaned for a moment, then looked straight ahead at the flying boat and spoke calmly.

The location of Sihaizhou was exactly to their north.

Although Lei Ao was brought on board the flying boat at this time, everyone still had only a vague understanding of the matter of opportunity, so they might as well continue heading north.
