Chapter 4615
4615 Lei Hong Makes His Moves
After receiving the message, Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang quickly went to the scene together. After examining the traces on the corpse, they determined that the culprit was in the same cultivation as them.
Not counting those mysterious creatures that lived in the mist-shrouded places, only two other people were in the same cultivation realm as them. There was no way Meng Han could have done this so the culprit could only be Lei Hong.
“Lei Hong?”
...Xiao Mu Bai’s expression darkened as his eyes glinted coldly. He did not expect Lei Hong to have the audacity to commit murder at the gateway of the God Defying World. He assumed that Lei Hong would come to seek revenge from Duan Ling Tian and wreak havoc in the God Defying World, but he did not expect Lei Hong to be so sneaky about it.
However, Xiao Mu Bai also felt powerless. Even if he confronted Lei Hong, he was no match for Lei Hong and would only be killed by Lei Hong. Feeling motivated, he decided to cultivate in seclusion soon to break through and become a World supreme powerhouse as soon as possible.
With his foundation and the information about the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth that he gained from Duan Ling Tian and Feng Qing Yang, Xiao Mu Bai was very close to becoming a World supreme powerhouse. However, he was not in a hurry to break through before this because the God Defying World had Duan Ling Tian, Feng Qing Yang, and Zhang Shan; a World supreme powerhouse. He also decided to help the Zhang clan settle down first, worried that the clan might not be able to adapt. For all these reasons, he had yet to enter closed-door cultivation.
Feng Qing Yang shook his head. “How petty. Although the two supreme powerhouses were natives of the God Defying World, they had no connection with you. What’s the point of killing them?”
“Master, I think the missing supreme powerhouse is still alive. He’s probably hoping to gain more information about me so he can seek revenge in the future.”
Even without a Soul Pearl, Duan Ling Tian was confident about his theory. If Lei Hong had killed the other supreme powerhouse as well, there would be traces left behind. He speculated that Lei Hong kidnapped the supreme powerhouse to gain information before seeking revenge from him.
…
Duan Ling Tian was right. Lei Hong had kidnapped the other supreme powerhouse to find out why Duan Ling Tian was searching for Yun Xin Feng, hoping that it would help with his revenge.
The supreme powerhouse was pale and frightened after witnessing the death of his old friend, and he fell into despair when he found out the identity of his captor.
‘It’s Lei Hong?’
The supreme powerhouse had naturally heard of Lei Hong from the Sun Bright World, one of the Three Upper Worlds, who became the fourth level-seven supreme powerhouse after the historical gap. After his discovery, he knew that Lei Hong’s actions were all due to Duan Ling Tian killing the two supreme powerhouses, one of which was a World supreme powerhouse, from the Cyan Swan Saint Sect.
The supreme powerhouse knew Lei Hong would not spare his life no matter what. He resigned himself to death and refused to answer Lei Hong’s questions. There was no point in cooperating with Lei Hong when he was doomed to die anyway. If Lei Hong did not suppress his Divine Energy, he would have already taken his own life.
Lei Hong scoffed. “Very well. Let’s see how tough you are!”
Although Lei Hong did not know the soul-searching techniques Duan Ling Tian had seen from the memories of the Void Elder, he had his own means to torture a supreme powerhouse.
In the beginning, the supreme powerhouse still could hold on. However, as time passed, he could not endure it anymore. In the end, he surrendered and agreed to cooperate with Lei Hong in exchange for a quick death.
“Wouldn’t it have been better if you’d just cooperated from the beginning, b*stard?” Lei Hong said with a sneer.
It did not take long for Lei Hong to learn about Duan Ling Tian and Yun Xin Feng.
‘Duan Ling Tian’s wife is the young miss of the Xia clan in the Divine Offering Land. Yun Xin Feng, who was known as Yun Qing Yan in the past, is the young master of the Yun clan, and he’s Duan Ling Tian’s enemy. He was expelled from the Yun clan many years ago, and he merged his soul with the remnant soul of a supreme powerhouse from the Soul Imprisonment Clan before calling himself Yun Xin Feng…’
Lei Hong was rather disappointed. He thought there was some huge secret behind Yun Xin Feng, but it turned out to be just a simple revenge story. Duan Ling Tian was searching for Yun Xin Feng because Yun Xin Feng once imprisoned his wife’s soul for many years.
“Is Duan Ling Tian’s wife’s clan the only connection he has in the God Defying World? Doesn’t he have his own clan?”
Lei Hong frowned. If that was the case, he could only make a move against the Xia clan in the Divine Offering Land to seek revenge. Duan Ling Tian might not care if he killed other people in the God Defying World after all.
‘It’s a pity I don’t know Yun Xin Feng’s whereabouts. Otherwise, I can… Wait! I can also get people to search for Yun Xin Feng like what Duan Ling Tian is doing! If I can find Yun Xin Feng and pull him to my side, wouldn’t that drive Duan Ling Tian crazy?’
With this in mind, Lei Hong raised his hand and quickly killed the supreme powerhouse in front of him. Then, he quickly went to the Outer Boundary before returning to the Sun Bright World.
…
When Lei Hong left the Outer Boundary, the purpose of his visit was made clear.
“Duan Ling Tian is searching for his enemy, Yun Qing Yan; who’s now known as Yun Xin Feng in both the Myriad Worlds and the Outer Boundary….”
“However, Lei Hong from the Sun Bright World has a grudge against Duan Ling Tian, and he just announced that he would protect Yun Qing Yan!”
It did not take long for this to spread to the Jade Tide Heavenly Mansion and reach Meng Han’s ears. His expression changed drastically. After all, he had been very low-key when he asked people to search for Yun Qing Yan. Who knew the matter would be exposed so soon? Clearly, the culprit was Lei Hong.
