Mr. Vulture was silent for a while, then shook his head and said, "Ming 'er, you don't understand your father's heart. Lei Zhen, I understand his temperament very well. He is forcing the War people onto the road of death. I must stop him and leave a chance for the War people. Lei Zhen, he is no longer suitable to be the clan leader of the War people. You are also in the second level of the Earth Martial Arts Realm. I have already discussed it with Zhao Danchen, the next clan leader is you, Lei Ming."
Lei Ming's body shook. Clan leader, this word, was still quite tempting to him.
"Father, please explain in detail." Lei Ming bowed and said respectfully.
"The bet set by Yang Ningfeng, the War people must win two rounds, but Zhao Danchen has already told me that it is impossible for the War people to win. If the War people lose, with Lei Zhen's temper, he will definitely lead the entire War people to fight to the death. What kind of power is the Wushu Alliance? The War people are not even fit to carry their shoes. At that time, the entire War people will definitely perish. Not only Lei Zhen, even we will become the eternal sinners of the War people."
Lei Ming nodded and said, "Father, I understand. In other words, as long as Lei Zhen dies, when the time comes to carry out the three rounds and the War people lose, I, the new clan leader, and you, the only one in the second level of the Earth Martial Arts Realm, will lead our clansmen to the Wushu Alliance. In this way, the War people, you, and I, can all live forever."
Mr. Vulture's gaze turned over from outside the window. He sized up Lei Ming for a while, then said, "Little guy, you've become a lot smarter. You're right, once Lei Zhen dies, those friends of his should also leave. There will be fewer people who will give us trouble, and our action to protect the War people will also go smoothly. You must remember, we are protecting the War people. We are the righteous side, while Lei Zhen and the others are eternal sinners."
Was that so? Lei Ming was actually a little confused. He knew that among the War people, except for him and his father, the rest of them were unafraid of death and could not wait to perish together with the Wushu Alliance.
"Father, if we do this, won't our clansmen scold us for being spineless and letting down our ancestors?" Leiming probed.
Mr. Vulture laughed coldly, saying: "They're all idiots. If they want to curse then let them curse. We've protected their lives. Wait a year, two years later, sooner or later they'll all kneel before us groveling and bending their knees, praising our great actions right now. Therefore, Lei Zhen is a stumbling block for us War people. He must die."
When he said the word death, Old Vulture's fists emitted crackling sounds.
"Father, Zhao Danchen didn't kill Lei Zhen today. What should we do?" asked Lei Ming nervously.
Mr. Vulture laughed sinisterly. That terrifying laughter even made Lei Ming's hair stand on end. "Tomorrow, tomorrow Lei Zhen will enter the Lightning Pool.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow Lei Zhen will enter the Pool of Lightning and Lightning. The Pool of Lightning and Lightning is in the forbidden area, other than Lei Zhen, no one can enter. They'll only send him to the door. Tomorrow I won't send Lei Zhen off. If they ask, just say I'm training, putting my life on the line for the great battle ten days later. Then I'll sneak into the forbidden area by myself, wait for Lei Zhen to pass by and I'll kill him. Then you'll go in with everyone and push this crime onto Zhao Danchen." Mr. Vulture slowly said. The more he spoke, the more excited he got.
Lei Ming took a deep breath, nodded and said: "Father, this is simply a perfect plan. After Lei Zhen dies, among the War people, we must immediately choose a new clan leader. With you, I'm definitely the most suitable candidate. And when Lei Zhen's friends see Lei Zhen die, they'll definitely leave the War people and go fight with the Wushu Alliance to the death. At that time, we can even reap the benefits. The Dragons are definitely not the Wushu Alliance's match. In the three battles, when we War people lose to the Wushu Alliance, we'll fulfill our promise and pledge allegiance to the Wushu Alliance. At that time, the Wushu Alliance will definitely give us a lot of benefits."
Saying till the end, Lei Ming laughed excitedly.
"Bastard." Mr. Vulture suddenly slapped him and scolded.
"Father, why?" Lei Ming was dumbfounded.
"What do you mean the Wushu Alliance will give us benefits? You have to remember, we're not doing this for personal gain. We're not doing this for the people's hearts. The War people's thousands of years of foundation is destroyed by Lei Zhen's hands. The ancestors will cheer for our actions." Mr. Vulture said crazily.
"Yes … Yes …" Lei Ming nodded repeatedly.
But he couldn't help but want to ask: Will the ancestors really cheer for our actions?
If that's the case, let all the War people soldiers live under the Wushu Alliance's enslavement in the future. Is this kind of life really better than death? If that's the case, the War people will basically become characters like the Wind God Sect, or even worse than the Wind God Sect, because the War people don't have warriors in the third level of the Earth Martial Realm to keep watch.
These questions, Lei Ming could only hide them in his heart.
Looking at the excited old man in front of him, Lei Ming tightly clenched his fists. He told himself, saying: "He's my father, he's lived longer than me, he definitely knows a lot of things I don't know. I'm not wrong to listen to him."
… …
The sky quickly brightened.
After a whole night of cultivation and many times of practice, Long Chen became much more familiar with Dragon Claw of Scattered Souls and so on. After familiarizing himself with the two kinds of Battle Skills, he started to continue cultivating the second level of the Earth Martial Realm.
According to the Earth Martial Arts Manual, he comprehended the second level of the fist technique. After Long Yue and Huangfu Fengchen led him in, the cultivation afterwards became much simpler. It could be said that the cultivation of the Martial Realm, because of the relationship between the First Heaven Aperture and various kinds of talents, Long Chen's cultivation was much easier.
"Amplification … The Pulse of the Earth comes wave after wave. Whether or not I can reach the second level of the Earth Martial Realm depends on whether or not I can hide two waves of the Pulse of the Earth in my attacks. If that's the case, one of my attacks will hide two attacks, and it should be much more powerful than now …"
No matter what, Long Chen still couldn't break through the last level.
As for the cultivation of the Genuine Vitality, after Long Chen reached the first level of the Earth Martial Realm, he directly swallowed the beast blood left behind by the Black Water Mystical Snake. After refining the blood into Qi, the beast blood became his Genuine Vitality and was in his Martial Vein and Martial Aperture.
The Genuine Vitality to break through the second level of the Earth Martial Realm was enough. What he lacked now was comprehension.
This was not something that could be achieved in a day, so Long Chen was not in a hurry for the time being. He slowly withdrew his fist and opened the door. Xiao Lang rarely went back to the Great Virtual Realm. When Long Chen was cultivating, he also repeatedly pondered over some of his own attack methods. He worked much harder than before.
The reason why he opened the door was because Lei Zhen and the others had already passed by in front of him. The others had also arrived. When they saw Long Chen coming out, they hurriedly greeted Long Chen.
"The Pool of Lightning and Thunder is in the forbidden area. It is not convenient for you to enter. If you really want to send me back, then you have to go to the entrance of the forbidden area." Lei Zhen said.
The Rushing Thunder Blade Technique was a blade technique that only the patriarch of the War people could cultivate. It could only be successfully cultivated in the Pool of Lightning and Thunder. However, the Pool of Lightning and Thunder was also very dangerous. It required others to guard the entrance of the forbidden area. If Lei Zhen was really in trouble, others would be able to take care of him.
"The lightning pool has a paralyzing effect. At that time, if I really can't endure it and can't come out, at that time, regardless of whether you can enter the forbidden area or not, you will have to carry me out. Otherwise, if I stay here for too long, I will die in there, haha …" Lei Zhen laughed.
The others began to laugh as well. Jian Chen was the first to speak, "Second brother Jiang needs to cultivate and fight. How about this, I'll stand guard at the entrance to the forbidden grounds. If fourth brother is unable to hold on, just say the word."
"Then I will have to trouble third brother." Lei Zhen said gratefully.
Everyone quickly arrived in front of the forbidden area. The so called forbidden area was actually a deep valley surrounded by a dense forest. Outside of the forbidden area, there were strict guards. Long Chen even discovered that there was a so called restriction here. This restriction was naturally formed. Without a certain level of strength, it was impossible to break it.
Entering the Pool of Lightning and Thunder, to the War people, should be a very solemn ceremony. Lei Zhen had already prepared a table and an incense burner. He was prepared to worship the ancestors before he could enter.
Such a solemn ceremony, the other War people would definitely be present. At this moment, among the eight War people Kings, other than Lei Zhen, the other seven were present. They followed Lei Zhen and knelt down. After it was over, Lei Zhen asked Lei Ming, "Brother Lei Ming, why is Elder Vulture not here today?"
Lei Ming slightly took half a step back. His expression today was a bit strange, but he concealed it very quickly. Taking in a deep breath, Lei Ming said, "My father is worried about the matter of the bet in the future and is concentrating on cultivation. He hopes that he can help out when the time comes, so he didn't come."
Lei Zhen stared blankly and said, "Right now is a critical moment. Since Elder Vulture didn't come, I won't look into it. But remember to tell him that the next time we worship the ancestors, those above the Earth Martial Realm must definitely come."
Lei Ming nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
Lei Zhen did not care too much about this matter. He said to the Dragons, "Other than third brother, everyone else can go back. I also need to go in."
Jiang Wuya nodded and said, "You go in first, we will go back."
Lei Zhen smiled and then, under the gazes of his brothers, walked into the deep valley. After his figure completely disappeared, the few people from the Dragons and the other people among the eight War people Kings prepared to leave.
Long Chen noticed a detail. He looked at Lei Ming who was talking to Lei Zhen before. He kept watching Lei Zhen leave, and after Lei Zhen's figure disappeared, his face actually revealed a hint of viciousness.
Yesterday, Long Chen already felt that Elder Vulture's actions were a bit strange. Today, when Lei Ming mentioned Elder Vulture, Long Chen slightly paid attention to it. Harboring suspicions, he naturally felt that this Lei Ming was also rather strange. Until he saw the viciousness on Lei Ming's face, plus what he said, Elder Vulture was cultivating so he didn't come. Connecting this series of things together, Long Chen felt that within this, there was definitely something wrong.
