Chapter 2487: Chapter 2488: Gathering of the Strong, Sects Like Feathers
"The key isn’t that; the key is why did you take that silly girl to look for that Young Master Yang? Do you have some other intentions?" Yue Qinghuan looked at Xue An with bright eyes.
Xue An forced a smile, "What intentions could I have?"
"Who knows, maybe you found her cute and plan to kidnap her!"
After saying that, even Yue Qinghuan couldn’t help but laugh.
Just then, the ground suddenly began to tremble. The two immediately turned to look and saw countless dark clouds gathering in the northwest corner of Jidu City.
In an instant, countless bolts of lightning poured down, as if divine punishment, completely obliterating a large mansion in that northwest corner, with even the people inside obliterated without a trace.
Even though Xue An and the two were quite far away, they could clearly feel the oppressive force brought by the endless lightning.
In the midst of the thunderous roaring, Yue Qinghuan’s face turned slightly pale, murmuring, "Is it starting?"
Xue An sighed lightly, "Yes, it’s starting!"
No need to ask, the only person who could wield such massive power of thunder in Jidu City would be none other than Lei Butong.
Based on what he said earlier, it was clearly aimed at the Cui Family.
And the move was a merciless extinction of the family.
There might be innocent people among them, but in Lei Butong’s view, since the Cui Family dared to challenge his authority, there was no need for any of them to remain.
This was also a method to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys and intimidate other wealthy families.
Surely, befitting a mighty figure existing for tens of thousands of years; when he acts, it’s with overwhelming thunderous means!
Yue Qinghuan steadied his mind and then spoke softly, "Have you already figured something out? Or are you acquainted with that so-called Young Master Yang?"
"I wouldn’t say acquainted, just have a vague guess. Everything will be clear once we meet this person!" Xue An said faintly, then turned and left.
Yue Qinghuan pondered thoughtfully.
Meanwhile, in a high-rise building, another conversation was taking place.
"Master, do you really intend to let the young lady follow that boy today?" An old man asked with a worried face.
Lei Butong nodded, "That’s right!"
"But I really don’t understand. This boy’s strength is decent, but his background is unknown. Isn’t handing over the young lady to him quite rash?"
"Haha, Old Zhong, you’re good at everything, except you’re too cautious in your actions. Lei Rong is my daughter; do you think I would let her leave so casually?"
"So you mean...?"
"Honestly, this Xue An today really surprised me. I thought at most he was a mere Hua Clan youth who arrived in Sky Beyond the Skies by chance. But today, it seems that’s not entirely the case!"
"Firstly, his strength far exceeded my expectations. Although it’s apparent he has recently ascended to the Saint’s position, his power is already beyond my vision. Moreover, this person seems quite familiar with the malevolent creatures, considering his Hua Clan background, always making me suspect his motive for coming to Sky Beyond the Skies!"
"Are you saying... he came to investigate the Hua Clan’s past affairs?" The old man asked, astonished.
As a servant to the Lei Family for thousands of years, he naturally knew many secrets.
"That’s one way to put it. Though I don’t know the specifics, it’s evidently not that simple!"
"It seems you highly value this Xue An, Master!"
"Haha, value?" Lei Butong chuckled bitterly, then changed his tone, "Old Zhong, how do you think my judgment is?"
"Naturally, it’s sharp as a torch!"
"Not to boast, but having lived for tens of thousands of years, I pride myself on being a good judge of people. Yet, when it comes to this Xue An, I can’t see through him at all!"
This statement changed Old Zhong’s expression somewhat.
"This young man... is he really that formidable?"
Lei Butong sighed deeply, "Not just formidable; upon his debut, he stirred up the Bing Family, even used the Body of the Immortal Sovereign to deceive the heavens and heal Yue Shifang’s wounds!"
"Then continued to defeat the Shen Family’s two Great Sword Cultivators consecutively. Such a person, how can ’formidable’ simply describe them?"
"In that case, shouldn’t you be even more cautious about entrusting the young lady to him?" Old Zhong urged.
Lei Butong waved his hand, "Don’t worry, I understand the Hua Clan’s people; they have their own pride. Since he agreed to my request, he won’t back out. I’m assured in entrusting Rong to him! Moreover..."
Lei Butong paused, "I also want to know more about that Young Master Yang’s background!"
"Are you suspecting... that Young Master Yang is also connected to this Xue An?"
"Though he only mentioned a vague guess at the time, I sense there’s something in Xue An’s tone, like he’s very familiar with that Yang person!"
Speaking of this, Lei Butong suddenly remembered something, "Old Zhong, immediately send a team of elites to protect Rong secretly!"
Old Zhong promptly nodded, "Yes!"
This Old Zhong turned and left, while Lei Butong sat alone in the room, silent, until after a long time, he smiled faintly.
"Hua Clan... after tens of thousands of years, I finally hear your news again, and the appearance of this Xue An is far from simple. It seems certain entities likely can’t sleep now!"
"Waves are about to rise, but I wonder if this goodwill I’ve just made will be of use in the future?"
As Lei Butong sighed quietly, far away from the Jidu Starry Domain, a city stood in the Starry Domain.
It was situated at the intersection of Jidu, Tai Yin, and Luo Fu Gate, the city of Yunxiao.
From the sky, looking over the Yin and Yang Clan Starry Domain, Yunxiao City was located right in the center, at the crucial junction where three domains converge.
At this moment, Yunxiao City was bustling, as lively as a feast prepared with oil and fire.
All because of the imminent Bai Family Grand Gathering.
Though there was still some time left, many sect members were already coming in droves.
The Yin and Yang Clan’s place to host various sects and clans was situated right in Yunxiao City.
Hence, Yunxiao City at this moment could be described as a gathering of formidable people, with sects abundant as feathers.
On a particularly bustling street, there stood a grand tea house.
At this moment, in the tea house above, a young man was lounging on a chair by the window, gazing at the scenery outside.
This young man was strikingly handsome to the point of being almost devilish, especially the red mole between his brows, looking ready to bleed at any time.
This highlighted the indolence in his eyes even more clearly.
The two complemented each other, combined with his pale cheeks, giving an impression of a unique sickly beauty.
In fact, ever since he sat here, many people were stealing glances at him.
The teapot on the table steamed lightly, yet the young man didn’t seem to have any intention of picking it up, merely tapping the table with his slender fingers.
Suddenly.
A sound of footsteps came from the stairs, and then a young man ascended, quickly reaching the young man’s side, standing with hands respectfully.
"Young Master!"
The young man didn’t look back, only chuckling lightly.
"Xiao Tian, you’re late!"
