"At first, Lei Qianhai did catch the five major sects off guard, and the five major sects suffered heavy losses. Even the sect leaders of the five major sects were injured by Lei Qianhai."
"But later, the five major sects formed an alliance and attacked the Thunderclap Sect together. As a result, the Thunderclap Sect suffered repeated defeats and was routed. The disciples of the Thunderclap Sect were either killed, wounded, or fled."
"Even Lei Qianhai, the sect leader of the Benlei Sect, was besieged by the sect leaders of the five major sects and was seriously injured."
"It is said that the sect leaders of the five major sects joined forces to besiege Lei Qianhai, the sect leader of the Benlei Sect. The six of them, all saints, fought fiercely, and the battle even spread from our Five Elements World to other worlds. In the end, the sect leaders of the five major sects returned alive, but Lei Qianhai disappeared without a trace and never appeared again. It is likely that Lei Qianhai was surrounded and killed by the sect leaders of the five major sects and perished in another world."
After listening to Wu Shanhong's account, Ye Feng was deeply moved, and the earth-shattering battle ten thousand years ago began to unfold in his mind.
Ye Feng now understood what was going on and why Lei Qianhai was being besieged.
However, Ye Feng still couldn't understand where Wu Shanhong's claim that the Thunderclap Sect Master betrayed the entire Five Elements World in order to break through the bottleneck and reach a higher realm came from.
Why must one betray the entire Five Elements world in order to break through the bottleneck?
Ye Feng asked whatever was on his mind, but Wu Shanhong couldn't answer.
"I don't know about that. After all, that happened ten thousand years ago, and I'm not from any of the five major sects or the Thunderclap Sect. I really don't know what secrets are involved," Wu Shanhong said with a wry smile.
"That's true." Ye Feng nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
Wu Shanhong sighed and continued, "Since then, the Benlei Sect has ceased to exist. The disciples of the Benlei Sect have gone into hiding everywhere, but they still cannot escape being hunted down by the five major sects."
"To this day, the Thunderclap Sect no longer exists at all."
Hearing this, Ye Feng began to feel troubled.
The Thunderclap Sect no longer exists, so what should be done about the agreement between myself and the Thunderclap Sect Master, Lei Qianhai?
To whom should the Heavenly Thunderclap Technique be taught?
Doesn't this make the task impossible to complete?
They can't just start their own sect in the Five Elements World and establish a new Thunderclap Sect, can they?
After thinking for a moment, Ye Feng asked, "Elder Wu, are all the successors of the Benlei Sect no longer alive?"
"Well... it's hard to say. Although the five major sects have joined forces to suppress the remnants of the Thunderclap Sect, no one can say for sure whether the Thunderclap Sect has any successors or how many. After all, the Thunderclap Sect was a top sect that was on par with the five major sects ten thousand years ago. Perhaps there are still some Thunderclap Sect disciples who have survived."
"But even if there are still disciples of the Thunderclap Sect alive, they must have changed their appearance and dare not appear in public."
After pondering for a moment, Wu Shanhong voiced his guess.
Night Breeze nodded slightly after hearing this.
It seems that I will have to find a successor for the Benlei Sect next, Ye Feng thought to himself.
However, the most urgent task is to find Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan.
After all, no matter how important his agreement with Lei Qianhai, the sect leader of Benlei Sect, was, it was not as important as Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan.
"Thank you for informing me. I now understand everything clearly, like seeing the blue sky after the clouds have parted," Ye Feng said with a smile.
"I'm glad you're satisfied, Mr. Ye," Wu Shanhong said with a smile.
Night Wind continued, "So now, in the Five Elements World, there are basically no martial artists who cultivate lightning techniques anymore, is that right?"
“No, no, no, cultivating lightning techniques and being a disciple of the Thunderclap Sect are two different things. No matter how domineering the five major sects are, they can’t possibly kill all the martial artists who cultivate lightning techniques. However, the five major sects are very hostile to martial artists who cultivate lightning techniques, so martial artists who cultivate lightning techniques basically dare not move around in the territory of the five major sects unless they have the ability to cover their tracks,” Wu Shanhong explained with a smile.
“Hmm, very good… I will set off this afternoon. Elder Wu, Young Master Ouyang, please get me some books on the geography of the Five Elements World; I want to take a look.” Ye Feng added.
"No problem, just a moment."
Wu Shanhong nodded in agreement without hesitation, since it wasn't difficult to help Ye Feng get some geography books about the Five Elements World.
Before long, Wu Shanhong had his servants bring over a large pile of books.
Ye Feng immediately began browsing quickly. Wu Shanhong and Ouyang Xue did not disturb Ye Feng any further and left Ye Feng's room.
Several hours passed, and the sun was almost setting.
Ye Feng finally finished reading through all the books Wu Shanhong had sent. He now had a general understanding of the Five Elements World and was no longer completely clueless like before.
And now it's time to set off.
Ye Feng immediately stepped out of the room and found Ouyang Xue and Wu Shanhong to say goodbye.
“Mr. Ye, why don’t you stay a little longer? I can send someone to find your companions for you,” Ouyang Xue said earnestly.
Wu Shanhong added, "Yes, Mr. Ye, you have helped us so much, saving my and my young master's lives twice. We have no way to repay such a great favor. If word gets out that you are leaving in such a hurry, Mr. Ye, it might make outsiders think that we have not treated our guests well."
"Let's forget about it. My two companions are thousands of miles away right now, and your Ouyang family can't help them," Ye Feng said.
"Ten thousand miles away!" Ouyang Xue's eyes widened in surprise.
Wu Shanhong was also startled; he really hadn't expected that Ye Feng's companions would be so far away.
"All good things must come to an end. Farewell!"
As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, he took off and sped off towards the southeast.
Since he didn't bring Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan with him, Ye Feng simply didn't activate his true energy shield to resist the gale.
Then the oncoming gale howled, blowing Ye Feng's hair backward and making her clothes flutter in the wind.
The sun sets, and night falls.
The night wind lowered the altitude, but it did not stop the journey.
Although Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan were safe and sound, Ye Feng could sense their emotions through the Heart-to-Heart Mantra and knew that they were calm, which meant that they had not encountered any danger.
No matter what, only by finding them can Ye Feng truly put his mind at ease.
As Ye Feng traveled, he used the Heart-to-Heart Mantra to sense the location of Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan, but the connection was very weak and blurry.
Night Wind could only roughly determine the direction in which the two of them were located, but could not pinpoint their exact location.
Suddenly, the connection between the two hearts broke.
The night breeze could no longer sense Sun Muqing and Jiang Lingxuan!
