Three years ago, a group of mysterious people annihilated the Ye family. He survived by luck but was thrown into prison, where by chance, he became the disciple of five masters...
Three years...
Finally, Qin Feng led the Five Thunder Sect members through the bewildering array and arrived in front of Ye Feng and the others.
Upon seeing Wen Yijun, the young master of the Five Thunder Sect, Protector Wang and Protector Chen immediately knelt before him, showering him with concern and greetings.
"Young Master, are you alright?"
"It's fortunate that you escaped, young master, otherwise our Five Thunder Sect would have been completely wiped out!"
"Young Master, your safety is more important than anything else!"
With so many people talking at once, the scene was chaotic.
Qin Feng then took the opportunity to say to Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan, "Senior Ye and Senior Luo, they are all from our Five Thunder Sect. The two leading them are Protector Wang Honglei and Protector Chen Wangming. The others are all inner and outer disciples of our Five Thunder Sect."
Ye Feng nodded in response, while Wang Honglei and Chen Wangming were already looking at Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan.
"Who are these two?" Wang Honglei asked, his eyes showing some wariness.
Qin Feng immediately said, "Guardian Wang, they are Senior Ye Feng and Senior Luo Mengxuan. Just now, Ling'er and I were discovered by the Crimson Fire Sect on our escape route and were surrounded and intercepted by them. If it weren't for Senior Ye and Senior Luo's help, we would have been finished, and even the young master would not have escaped the clutches of the Crimson Fire Sect."
Upon hearing Qin Feng's words, Wang Honglei and Chen Wangming's gazes towards Ye Feng and Luo Mengxuan softened considerably, tinged with gratitude.
Qin Feng added, "Moreover, this Senior Ye also cultivates the Five Elements Divine Thunder, but Senior Ye comes from an overseas immortal mountain and is not a member of our Five Thunder Sect."
"What? Senior Ye is also proficient in the Five Elements Divine Thunder?"
Wang Honglei and Chen Wangming's faces showed deep surprise.
The Five Elements Divine Thunder is a closely guarded secret of the Five Thunder Sect, and now that an outsider has also mastered it, it is truly astonishing.
Seeing this, Ye Feng raised his right hand and casually struck out with a palm.
A beam of five-colored lightning shot out from Ye Feng's palm, streaking through the air and striking a sand dune not far away.
Then a thunderous roar erupted, and sand and dust flew everywhere.
Although the lightning lasted for a very short time, Wang Honglei, Chen Wangming and the others could tell that it was indeed the Five Elements Divine Lightning, containing the power of the five elements!
Therefore, Wang Honglei, Chen Wangming, and others no longer doubted Qin Feng's words.
Ye Feng smiled and said, "My senior sister and I come from an overseas immortal mountain. We were planning to travel across the continent when we happened to encounter Qin Feng and Zhao Ling being chased by people from the Crimson Fire Sect. Originally, I didn't intend to meddle, but when I saw that Qin Feng and Zhao Ling could actually use the Five Elements Divine Thunder, which is very similar to the techniques of our overseas immortal mountain, perhaps this is a kind of fate."
"That's why we stepped in to help Qin Feng and Zhao Ling."
Wang Honglei cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your help, Senior Ye and Senior Luo. If it weren't for your help, our Five Thunder Sect would have really suffered a catastrophic disaster."
"I never imagined that there was another sect in this world that also mastered the Five Elements Divine Thunder. Truly, I am not alone in my path!" Chen Wangming said with a smile.
After exchanging pleasantries, Wang Honglei and Chen Wangming pulled Qin Feng to a corner.
"Guardian Qin, we have received information that Elder Zhou and more than a hundred disciples are currently being held captive in a secret manor in Crimson Fire City. We must rescue them as soon as possible!" Wang Honglei said solemnly, his expression quite urgent.
Qin Feng looked troubled: "Is this news true?"
“Of course it’s true. This is information that my people gathered,” Wang Honglei said.
Qin Feng immediately retorted, "The Crimson Fire Sect is located in Crimson Fire City. Since Elder Zhou and those disciples are imprisoned in Crimson Fire City, why don't the people of the Crimson Fire Sect directly imprison them at the Crimson Fire Sect's mountain gate, but instead imprison them in a secret manor in Crimson Fire City?"
Wang Honglei's expression turned somewhat awkward.
Wang Honglei himself also found this strange, but that was the reality, and there was nothing he could do about it.
Chen Wangming said, "I've thought about this. I think the Crimson Fire Sect did this on purpose."
"Why?" Qin Feng asked.
Chen Wangming continued, "If I were the sect leader of the Crimson Fire Sect, I would do the same. Because the Crimson Fire Sect has only captured a portion of the Five Thunder Sect members so far. Many more have scattered and fled, and it is not an easy task for them to capture them all. Not to mention capturing them, even searching for them is extremely difficult."
"So the Crimson Fire Sect imprisoned Elder Zhou and his disciples in a secret manor in Crimson Fire City, and deliberately leaked the information to us so they could rescue them! That way, they could capture us all and arrest even more people!"
Chen Wangming's words made a lot of sense, and Qin Feng and Wang Honglei both nodded in agreement.
But then Wang Honglei said, "So, the secret manor is bait, or a trap, to lure us in?"
“That’s probably true in most cases,” Chen Wangming said.
"So, we're just going to ignore Elder Zhou and the others?" Wang Honglei asked again.
Chen Wangming sighed and remained silent.
Qin Feng said, "We definitely have to save them, but we can't be so reckless. We need to come up with a foolproof plan."
"We don't have any foolproof solutions right now, especially since, as far as I know, Elder Zhou is already poisoned. If it weren't for the poisoning, Elder Zhou, as a Transcendent Realm expert, certainly wouldn't have fallen into the hands of the Crimson Fire Sect so easily! Therefore, rescuing Elder Zhou and the others cannot be delayed; we must begin our operation as soon as possible!" Wang Honglei said emphatically.
"Protector Wang, don't worry, we are outnumbered and outmatched right now..."
Before Qin Feng could finish speaking, Wang Honglei snorted and said emphatically, "So what if we're outnumbered? Elder Zhou has been kind to me, and I will never abandon him! You two can discuss it slowly; I'll go rescue Elder Zhou right now!"
After Wang Honglei finished speaking, he rushed towards the outside of the maze.
The night wind set up the maze to prevent outsiders from finding this place, so it was only for outsiders and not for insiders. Therefore, Wang Honglei easily passed through the maze and left without being affected by it.
Watching Wang Honglei's departing figure, Qin Feng was both angry and anxious, and let out a heavy sigh.
Chen Wangming said, "Protector Qin, we came here to see the young master. Now that he is safe, we can rest assured. You and Zhao Ling continue to protect the young master, and Elder Wang and I will go to rescue him."
"Elder Wang is right. Even though we are outnumbered, we cannot ignore Elder Zhou and the others. Our Five Thunder Sect has suffered a great calamity this time, and there are not many people left. Therefore, we must rescue Elder Zhou and the others."
After saying that, Chen Wangming also left.
Moreover, Chen Wangming did not leave alone; the disciples who had just come here with them also left with him.
