It was already late at night.

Lei Mingshan, the two elders, and Lei Xiaoyun and his wife Lei Manhe all returned to their cave to rest.

Li Qinghong, Guan Mengyu, and He Shaoling also returned to their cave dwellings to rest.

Lei Ling, however, lingered beside Ye Feng, watching him refine weapons without blinking.

The magical artifacts that Ye Feng is currently crafting are not particularly sophisticated, nor do they possess any offensive or defensive capabilities; they are merely magical artifacts used as communication tools.

Therefore, this magical artifact was not difficult to forge, and Ye Feng even chatted and laughed with Lei Ling while forging the artifact.

“My father has already taught the Mortal Heaven Thunderclap Technique to Li Qinghong, He Ling, and Guan Mengyu. However, he didn’t teach them the whole thing, only the first few levels,” Lei Ling said.

Lei Ling then hurriedly added, "However, it's not that my father is unwilling to pass on his knowledge because he cherishes it. After all, Li Qinghong and the other two have only just joined our Benlei Sect, and we don't know each other well before, so my father is not very at ease."

“Your father did the right thing. You shouldn’t have the heart to harm others, but you can’t be without the heart to guard against them. It’s never wrong to be careful.” Ye Feng nodded with a smile.

"It's good that you think it's right, Grandmaster. I was worried that you would blame my father," Lei Ling said with a smile.

After a while, Lei Ling asked, "Grandmaster, are you really leaving? Can't you stay here?"

“I still have things to do,” Night Wind said.

"What's wrong?" Lei Ling asked curiously.

"Looking for someone."

Night Wind spoke succinctly.

Lei Ling hesitated for a moment and asked, "Who are you looking for? I can help you look for them."

"Let's forget about it. The Thunderclap Sect has just been established, and there are too many things to deal with here. You should stay here and help your father," Ye Feng said with a wry smile, shaking his head.

Lei Ling pouted, her little face full of disappointment.

It was at this moment that the magical artifact was completed.

The stove lid was opened, and a ray of light fell into the hands of the night wind.

It was a statue made of jade. If you looked closely, you would find that the statue was of Ye Feng!

"This is a fifth-grade spiritual artifact, and I have cast a Heart-to-Heart Spell on it. This statue will remain in the Thunderclap Sect from now on. If you encounter a crisis that you cannot resolve, simply smear your blood on the statue and infuse it with your true energy, and I will know immediately," Ye Feng said with a smile, and placed the statue in Lei Ling's hands.

"Thank you, Grandmaster! I'll give this statue to my father right now!" Lei Ling hugged the statue and ran towards the cave on Thunder Mountain.

Night Breeze wasn't worried that Lei Ling might accidentally fall and shatter the statue.

That statue was a fifth-grade spiritual artifact personally crafted by Ye Feng; it was no ordinary object, and even if it were deliberately damaged, it wouldn't be easily destroyed.

Moreover, Lei Ling is a martial artist, how could she be so incompetent?

The following morning.

The lightning bolts crackled and popped as they flew around.

Night Wind stood in front of the Lightning Shuttle, ready to set off.

"Respectfully bidding farewell to our patriarch!"

Lei Mingshan and the others bowed respectfully to see Ye Feng off.

“We will take in many disciples and spread our teachings widely,” Ye Feng said.

"I will keep it in mind!" Lei Mingshan said solemnly.

Night Breeze nodded in satisfaction, then stepped onto the Lightning Shuttle.

The lightning shuttle soared into the air, then transformed into a streak of light and headed southeast, quickly disappearing into the horizon.

Watching the lightning shuttle disappear into the distance, Lei Mingshan let out a long sigh of relief.

“Our patriarch has passed away; from now on, we must rely on ourselves,” Lei Mingshan said.

“Yes.” Lei Ling nodded vigorously.

Lei Mingshan smiled and said, "Now that the sect has been established, the first thing to do is to build the mountain gate! Right now there's nothing here, it's bare and ugly. We'll use local materials to build the mountain gate, and we must make it grand and magnificent so that we can attract talented people to join our Benlei Sect!"

As the lightning shuttle flew high in the sky, the oncoming gale was blocked by the lightning on its outer edge, preventing it from blowing into the interior.

Ye Feng, with his hands behind his back, rode the Thunder Shuttle while sensing Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan through the Heart-to-Heart Mantra.

But no matter how hard Ye Feng tried, he couldn't sense the two of them.

It seems that Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan are still in some secret realm.

This can't go on. The Five Elements World is vast and much larger than the present world.

The night wind has traveled more than 3,000 kilometers from the Great Wilderness Mountain, and is not far from the ten thousand miles away.

However, since he couldn't sense Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan, he had no way of determining their exact location, and even if he wanted to find them, he couldn't!

"We have to think of a way..." Night Wind muttered to himself.

Just then, a surge of high temperature came from below.

Ye Feng looked down and discovered that there was a volcano diagonally below, and most importantly, there was a city at the foot of the volcano!

At this moment, the magma inside the volcano is churning, accompanied by high temperatures, and plumes of black smoke are spewing out from the volcano.

What kind of people would build a city at the foot of a volcano?

Is this because they want to die sooner?

The night wind stopped, and the lightning shuttle looked around and found that the city had at least a few hundred thousand people.

Forget it, it has nothing to do with me, no need to worry about it.

Night Wind thought to himself, then prepared to leave and continue his journey to find Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan.

However, at that moment, the volcano erupted without warning!

Crimson magma erupted from the crater and then flowed down the mountainside like paste.

Night Breeze frowned, realizing something was wrong.

Volcanic eruptions are always preceded by warning signs, such as tremors.

However, there were no prior signs of the lava eruption, so it was definitely not a natural volcanic eruption, but rather something was active inside the volcano!

"Open your Dharma Eyes and Golden Pupils!"

Night Wind's eyes instantly turned a dazzling gold, and the volcano was no longer able to hide from Night Wind's gaze, being seen clearly by Night Wind.

Inside the volcano, a giant, crimson python was seen swimming freely amidst the lava.

As the giant python swung its tail, another large gush of lava erupted from inside the volcano.

"A ninth-tier demonic beast..."

Night Breeze's face showed surprise and doubt.

A ninth-tier demonic beast is comparable to a human martial artist in the Transcendent Realm, and even in the Five Elements World, it is already an extremely powerful existence.

Given this, why didn't the five major sects come to deal with the threat posed by a ninth-tier demonic beast to the safety of a city and the survival of hundreds of thousands of people?

It seems that the five major sects' control over the Five Elements World is not as comprehensive as they thought.

The crimson serpent inside the volcano stirred violently again, causing even more lava to erupt from the volcano.

The rolling lava flowed down from all sides of the mountain, igniting the already sparse vegetation on the mountain, and also spreading towards the city!
