Hu Le led a group of Thunder Clan members and flew towards the edge of Thunder Marsh.
He gained a lot from his trip to Leize, not only accomplishing his original goal but also gaining a group of Thunder Clan members.
Although these Thunder Clan members number only five thousand, in terms of strength, even a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals would probably not be able to compare with them...
The group continued forward despite the thunderbolts striking from the sky. They hadn't gone far when someone suddenly caught up from behind in a beam of light, calling out from afar, "Thunder God! Lightning Goddess! Wait!"
The couple who were standing beside Hu Le turned around when they heard the voice. After recognizing the person, they apologized to Hu Le and went to greet him.
The three of them huddled together and whispered a few words. Then they saw the couple glance at Hu Le from afar, a troubled look on their faces.
The visitor spoke a few more words to them, and they nodded. Then they flew back to Hu Le's side and knelt down without saying a word. "Your Majesty, my husband and I have a request, and we hope that Your Majesty will grant it."
Hu Le asked in confusion, "What is it?"
"Your Majesty, our clan has just lost a priceless treasure. This item is related to our clan's heritage. We hope Your Majesty can allow us to stay in Thunder Swamp for a while longer so that we can retrieve the treasure before returning to the Heavenly Court to await further orders," Thunder God pleaded.
"Oh? What treasure is so important? Why don't you tell me in detail?" Hu Le asked curiously.
Lei Gong naturally wouldn't hide anything, so he told the whole story.
It turns out that the Thunder Clan possesses a supreme treasure called the Thunder Pool.
This treasure is a creation of heaven and earth, containing infinite mysteries.
In the past, the first batch of Thunder Clan members were born from the Thunder Pool.
Therefore, this treasure is both the sacred object of the Thunder Clan's origin and the treasure they use to suppress their destiny.
All members of the Thunder Clan must soak in the Thunder Pool for a hundred days after birth in order to fully activate the power of their bloodline.
This treasure has always been kept by the clan leader and is only used when a member of the Thunder Clan is born.
Not long ago, the clan leader suddenly discovered that the Thunder Pool, which was hidden in the treasure vault, had disappeared without him noticing.
He was immediately horrified, for this treasure was the foundation of their Thunder Clan.
If this treasure is lost, the Thunder God Clan may be wiped out in future generations.
The clan chief immediately summoned those of high status and told them about the matter.
Everyone was shocked and, after discussing it, the clan leader went to see the Great God Lei Ze in person, asking him to help him find the whereabouts of Lei Chi.
The others went back to mobilize all the clansmen except the children to search for the Thunder Pool.
Of course, just to be on the safe side, they also didn't let go of the Thunder God and Lightning Goddess group who had just left with Hu Le.
These five thousand people were all elites of the clan. Everyone felt it would be a waste to let them leave like this. They thought it would be better to catch up with them before they went too far and let them stay in the clan for a while to help them find the Thunder Pool.
After hearing Lei Gong explain the situation, Hu Le naturally wouldn't become the villain.
So he nodded slightly: "Very well, you can stay here for now and lead them to serve the clan. It's not too late to go to the Heavenly Court after this matter is settled."
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty." The couple kowtowed and sincerely expressed their gratitude.
"Alright! I'm going now. You all take care of yourselves."
Hu Le nodded to the two of them, then urged the auspicious cloud to depart first...
Once Hu Le had gone far away and his figure had completely disappeared into the distant thunderclouds, the Thunder God and Lightning Goddess led their people back to their clan.
On the way, the elder who came to deliver the message suddenly spoke up: "Lord Lei, tell me, why is Lei Chi nowhere to be seen at this particular time?"
Upon hearing this, Lei Gong frowned slightly. "Elder Lei Ming, what do you mean by that?"
Elder Lei Ming looked around and noticed that the other clansmen were far away, so he whispered, "The Thunder Pool has been kept in our clan for millions of years, and it has remained intact. Why did it disappear as soon as someone came? Don't you find that strange?"
Lei Gong's expression tightened, and he glared at Elder Lei Ming, coldly questioning, "Elder, what do you mean by this? Are you perhaps doubting the Dongxuan Emperor? How dare you!"
Elder Lei Ming retorted indignantly, "What? Can't he have any doubts? Don't tell me this is all just a coincidence!"
"This..." Lei Gong was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to defend Hu Le.
After all, he had only just joined the Heavenly Court and was meeting Hu Le for the first time, so he didn't really know much about Hu Le's character...
...
On the other side, Hu Le rode his escape light, speeding through the thunderclouds. Just as he was about to leave the Thunder Swamp, a thought suddenly struck him, and the escape light surrounding him dissipated, his figure stopping in mid-air.
Below, a rather rudimentary flying boat was rapidly traversing through the thunderclouds. On the flying boat stood a member of the Thunder Clan, who was currently maneuvering the flying boat while caressing a bowl-shaped spiritual treasure.
This treasure is shrouded in purple mist and surrounded by radiant light, with the flow of primordial energy.
A thought struck him, and with a quick calculation, he instantly understood the man's background and past actions.
The flying boat sped past and disappeared into the depths of the thunderclouds in an instant.
Hu Le pointed his finger, and a beam of innate Yin-Yang chaotic divine light shot out, catching up with the flying boat in an instant. After a sweep, the divine light wrapped around the flying boat and rolled back.
When the divine light dissipated, the Thunder Clan member steadied the flying boat and looked up to see Hu Le standing above him, his face filled with horror.
"Who...who are you? Why are you attacking me?"
He asked timidly.
Hu Le lowered his gaze and swept it over him, realizing that the man had already put away the magical treasure at some point.
However, Hu Le didn't say much. He reached out and grabbed the Thunder Clan member, who was involuntarily thrown into the air and instantly fell into his palm.
Hu Le casually sealed the man's primordial spirit and magical power, and with a gentle push, the man slammed heavily to the ground.
Before he could even get up from the ground, Hu Le pointed and a huge mountain flew from afar and landed on his back.
He drew a talisman in the air with his bamboo staff, then slapped it into the mountain before continuing to fly out of Thunder Marsh.
For Hu Le, this was just a minor incident on the road.
As for the innate spiritual treasure in that person's hand, although it contained the power of thunder, he already possessed the Heavenly Thunder Lotus, so naturally he would no longer covet it...
...
Yunlei Mountain.
The main hall of the celestial palace.
Lei Hong, the chieftain of the Thunder Clan, hurriedly arrived at the palace and met the Great God Lei Ze.
After exchanging greetings, Lei Hong recounted the loss of his clan's most precious treasure, hoping that the Great God Lei Ze could guide him on a path to enlightenment.
The great god Lei Ze silently calculated the secrets of heaven, then suddenly smiled gently, "You don't need to worry, I have already calculated the location of this treasure."
"Ah! Is that really so? Please enlighten me, great master!" Lei Hong exclaimed with delight.
"After you leave this place, fly westward for 9.3 million miles until you encounter a mountain peak 5,000 feet high. Then you can stop there, enter the mountain, and retrieve your clan's most precious treasure..." the Great God Lei Ze instructed him...
