He called me "uncle", but his tone and expression did not show any humility and respect that a younger generation should have towards their elders. Instead, his leisurely eyes seemed to be looking down on lowly and inferior creatures.

However, Lei Qianfeng was not even a little angry, but quickly said: "Yes, yes, if it weren't for you, Gui Ke, I would have lost my life. It's a pity that Mo'er and the others..."

Thinking of his seven sons who had died tragically one after another, Lei Qianfeng's muscles tightened and his clenched hands trembled uncontrollably.

"My aunt told me all these things yesterday." Wu Guike narrowed his eyes. "My aunt said that all of this was done by a man named Ling Yun? Not only did he poison your seven sons, he also indirectly killed hundreds of thousands of elite disciples and four elders, and he almost killed you, but you don't seem to have even touched his shadow?"

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Xiao Qingtong. When he looked at Xiao Qingtong, his gaze was much softer than when he stared at Lei Qianfeng.

Lei Qianfeng was filled with extreme pain, anger, hatred, and humiliation towards Yun Che. He was already deeply frightened. His entire body began to tremble, and his voice became a little hoarse: “Ling Yun… he… he is simply a devil!”

"Devil?" Wu Guike chuckled, "Oh, uncle, if aunt hadn't told me this herself, I wouldn't have believed a word of it. Although I've always thought you were unworthy of aunt, I never thought you would be such a waste. As your nephew, I feel so ashamed."

Lei Qianfeng was shocked and didn't dare to argue. After his lips trembled for a while, he lowered his head and said, "Yes, it is true that I am incompetent... But, as long as I am alive, I will tear Ling Yun into pieces and grind his bones to ash!!"

"Really?" Wu Guike approached slowly, his eyes gradually darkening. "Before you tear that Ling Yun into pieces, you'd better take care of yourself first! What's going on with that royal wood spirit? My father got really angry because of this, which is rare! You'd better give a decent answer, otherwise, the consequences will be serious!"

What was to come had to come. Lei Qianfeng was shocked and said in a panic, "The story about the royal wood spirit is absolutely true. After we caught the royal wood spirit, we wanted to present it to your father immediately. Unexpectedly, we were careless and it was kidnapped by Ling Yun!"

"Then how did Ling Yun know that it was the royal wood spirit?" Wu Guike asked sternly.

"No, no, Ling Yun kidnapped it not because it was a royal wood spirit, but... because the royal wood spirit was hiding in a wood spirit tribe outside Heiya City. Ling Yun had known that wood spirit tribe for a long time, so he kidnapped it after we captured the royal wood spirit. We didn't expect that someone would be so bold as to confront us, so we failed and were kidnapped. After that, we quickly found that wood spirit tribe and killed all the wood spirits, but we didn't catch the royal wood spirit. The grudge with Ling Yun was also due to this reason."

"Really?" Wu Guike sneered, obviously not believing it.

"Gui Ke," Xiao Qingtong said softly, "your uncle didn't lie to you. Every word he said was true. If I hadn't really caught Wang Zumu Ling, I wouldn't have been in a hurry to tell your mother. I just didn't expect it, alas..."

Wu Guike's expression eased and he nodded: "Since it's what my aunt said, of course I can't help but believe it." But as he turned his eyes to Lei Qianfeng, his face became gloomy again: "But as for whether my father will believe it, that's not up to me to decide. Putting aside the matter of the royal wood spirit, the wood spirit beads and training furnaces you have offered as tribute in recent years have become less and less. I'm afraid it will be difficult for my father to calm down his anger over this matter!"

Lei Qianfeng's face changed again, and his whole body began to tremble. In the Heiya Realm, he was a great realm king who could cover the sky with one hand, but in front of a figure like the Divine Martial Realm King, he was no different from a humble reptile. The Soul Sect has been able to become strong until now, and more than 80% of it is due to the reputation of the Divine Martial Realm. Others in the Divine Martial Realm are fine, but this time, it was the wrath of the Divine Martial Realm King... In his rage, he wanted to crush a Divine King like him, or even the entire Soul Sect, without any effort, so he didn't care whether he was his son's uncle.

"Gui Ke, it's not that your uncle is being negligent, but the number of wood spirits has been decreasing over the years, and the best furnaces and cauldrons are becoming increasingly difficult to find. It's really... Gui Ke, when you go back, you must say a few good words to your father, especially about the matter of the royal wood spirits. Even if your uncle has ten thousand guts, he would not dare to deceive your father."

"Humph!" Wu Guike snorted coldly: "Are they really getting less and less? Or... in order to dominate Hei Ya, you secretly sold some of the Wood Spirit Pearls that should have been paid as tribute to others in order to create leverage?"

"..." Lei Qianfeng raised his head suddenly and his pupils shrank suddenly.

"Gui Ke," Xiao Qingtong said, "This matter is not entirely your uncle's fault. If I hadn't acted on impulse, your father wouldn't have been angry because of the royal wood spirit being hijacked. Your father loves you the most, and now only you can save your uncle."

As soon as Xiao Qingtong spoke, Wu Guike's originally gloomy face suddenly became as if a spring breeze had been soothed, and he quickly smiled and comforted her: "No, no, aunt, what's wrong with you? Speaking of it, uncle just lost a great achievement this time, and didn't make any big mistakes. I will explain the matter clearly here, and persuade father for a few more days. When he calms down, everything will be fine. I just said it so seriously, just to remind uncle to be more cautious in the future. After Guike returns, he will definitely settle the matter, please rest assured, aunt."

Wu Guike's attitude towards Lei Qianfeng and Xiao Qingtong was completely different, and it had always been like this. Lei Qianfeng had long been accustomed to it, and when he heard this, he immediately showed joy.

Xiao Qingtong smiled: "Gui Ke is such a good kid. I have always loved you so much. It's a pity that your two brothers..."

Before she finished her words, Xiao Qingtong was already about to cry.

Wu Guike hurriedly comforted her, "Aunt, I'm so sad... Please rest assured, since Guike is here, I will definitely seek justice for my two brothers. How dare a little Ling Yun make your aunt cry... I will definitely catch him myself and let you do whatever you want with him."

After saying that, he glared at Lei Qianfeng fiercely: "Where is that kid named Ling Yun now?"

Lei Qianfeng said hurriedly: "Although this kid's profound strength is low, he seems to have a very strong ability to hide himself. He appears and disappears every time. However, judging from his movements, the place where he hides most often should be the Black Soul Mountains. There are many profound beasts there during the day, the atmosphere is chaotic, and thick fog settles at night. It is indeed an extremely suitable place to hide. In addition, he..."

"Then let's go to Black Soul Mountain and have a look." Wu Guike interrupted him directly: "My aunt said that Ling Yun has appeared several times a day recently. He also appeared yesterday. This means that he has been hiding somewhere nearby and has never gone far. Humph, Cheng Yan!"

"Young Master." The middle-aged man in black leaned forward and obeyed.

"Although this may be a bit insulting to your status, there is only a pile of useless garbage left here. You have to catch the little reptile yourself."

"Yes." Wu Chengyan accepted the order expressionlessly.

Glancing at Lei Qianfeng, Wu Guike put down his hands behind his back and said, "Let's go."

"Ah? Now?" Lei Qianfeng was stunned.

"What else? Should we wait for him to run away?" Wu Guike said coldly: "If he is as cunning as you said, if he knows that someone from the Divine Martial Realm has come here, he will immediately flee thousands of miles away! Not everyone in this world is as naive and stupid as you!"

Being scolded by his nephew, Lei Qianfeng did not dare to get angry at all. He waved his hand and said, "Tian Gang, bring a few hall masters and follow me to Black Soul Mountain!"

"Aunt, you should rest well and don't hurt yourself. Guike will bring the boy Ling Yun back for you to deal with." Before leaving, Wu Guike bowed and said goodbye to Xiao Qingtong.

————————————

After leaving Soul Sect, Wu Guike's face suddenly darkened, and he said bluntly: "Uncle, you should know how serious it is for my father to be angry. If my aunt had not been heartbroken and begged for mercy, I would not have tolerated this matter, hum!"

"Yes, yes." Lei Qianfeng responded quickly, smiling and saying, "Gui Ke, you saved my uncle this time, and I will never forget it."

"That's not necessary. If you really want to, just be nicer to your aunt." Wu Guike narrowed his eyes. "When you came yesterday, Chengyan expelled the poison from you all night, and I comforted your aunt all night. After all, you are a realm king of a lower star realm, but you are in such a mess. It's really a disgrace to me and my mother, hum!"

"..."Lei Qianfeng was too timid to speak.

"I was in a hurry to catch Ling Yun. On the one hand, I wanted to comfort my aunt. On the other hand... you guys never caught Ling Yun, and you also never found the royal wood spirit. That means it's very likely in Ling Yun's hands. At the very least, Ling Yun should know where it is."

"Yes, that's right!" Lei Qianfeng responded, "I have been hunting down Ling Yun at all costs for this very reason."

"Hmph!" Wu Guike snorted coldly and increased his speed.

Wu Guike was in front, Wu Chengyan was beside him, and Lei Qianfeng followed behind with a group of people. Wu Guike stopped talking, and none of them dared to speak casually. These people who could walk around freely in the Heiya Realm on weekdays were now silent, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Wu Guike's identity is self-evident. Wu Chengyan... a terrifying and powerful person in the realm of Godly Lord, is enough to despise all the transcendent beings in the lower star realms. Even in the Divine Martial Realm, he has a very high status. He followed Wu Guike on this trip to protect him.

Soon, they arrived in front of the Black Soul Mountains. Lei Qianfeng said, "Gui Ke, this is it. We have ambushed Ling Yun here dozens of times, and we almost succeeded once, but... we failed at the last moment."

"Chengyan." Wu Guike ignored Lei Qianfeng and raised his eyebrows.

Wu Chengyan nodded slightly, then flew up. The vast divine consciousness from the God was like a fog covering the sky, quickly enveloping him.

But at this moment, a faint breath fluctuation suddenly came from the front. Everyone's eyes turned subconsciously, and they saw a slender girl in a colorful skirt passing through the low bushes, jumping towards them, humming a clear and pleasant song.

"Huh? Why is there a little girl here?" Lei Qianfeng said in a deep voice.

"Who is it!" Lei Tiangang roared.

As if frightened by the roar, the little girl stopped and looked at them seriously with her star-like eyes. Then a strange expression appeared on her face: "Oh my, what a coincidence."

"She...she is!" A Black Soul Hall Master behind Lei Tiangang suddenly shouted in surprise: "Sect Master, Chief Hall Master, she is the little girl who appeared with Ling Yun half a month ago and was rescued by Ling Yun! It is her, there is no doubt about it!"

That colorful dress and that beautiful face that outshines the sun and the moon, will never be forgotten by anyone who takes one look at it.

“What!?” Lei Qianfeng and Lei Tiangang’s faces changed, and Lei Qianfeng instantly shouted: “Take her down immediately!”

However, they did not notice that the moment the little girl appeared in their sight, Wu Guike froze, as if petrified, and his mouth slowly opened, but he did not make a sound. His pupils clearly shrank violently, then expanded rapidly, and then expanded again...

The son of the Great King of the Shenwu Realm, a transcendent figure whom no one in the upper star realms dared to provoke, now had pupils that were dilated to the extreme, trembling with fear as if he had seen a ghost.
