The thunder rumbled, resounding through the sky like thousands of horses galloping, making people's eardrums buzz.
The master and disciple had been flying for a whole night, their figures speeding across the night sky.
Finally, at dawn, a city appeared before their eyes.
The city stands on the top of a mountain, and in the center of the city stands a towering tower - the Xuanlei Tower.
From a distance, this giant tower soars into the clouds and reaches the sky, as if it is about to pierce through the thick clouds and connect with the sky and the earth.
The entire tower is made up of huge black stones with a surface as smooth as a mirror.
A thick layer of black clouds was swirling around the tower. The clouds were rolling and surging, and lightning flashed through them from time to time.
As the master and disciple gradually approached the Xuan Lei Pagoda, the thundering sound in their ears became more and more deafening.
Thick bolts of lightning raged across the tower.
At the top of the tower, countless lightning bolts intertwined with each other to form a huge ball of lightning.
Powerful electric currents flowed rapidly through the tower, making crackling sounds.
Around the Xuan Lei Tower, the ground had long been charred black due to years of lightning bombardment, and no grass grew.
Just as the master and disciple stopped to observe, a loud shout suddenly came from not far away.
"Who comes here?"
Immediately afterwards, several fully armed guards flew over, escorting a short-haired woman.
Their eyes were full of vigilance, and they held their weapons tightly in their hands, ready to deal with any dangerous situations that might arise at any time.
"We are here to find your tower master."
At this time, Yan An stood quietly in the air, with a human skin mask covering her face, transforming her appearance into that of an ordinary-looking woman.
"Why are you looking for our Tower Master?"
Lu Jingzhi took a step forward and said politely in a low voice, "We came here to seek a piece of Thunder Stone."
Hearing this, the short-haired woman was slightly stunned, her eyes quickly fell on Lu Jingzhi, and she examined him carefully from head to toe.
Then, she mobilized her own mental power and tried to detect the strength of the two people.
But what surprised her was that she was completely unable to sense their level of cultivation.
Not only that, the person in front of him had an extremely restrained aura, as if he had merged with the surrounding environment. His expression was calm and composed, without any ripples.
[Hmm...it seems these two people are definitely not simple! ]
[This matter must be reported to the elders and the tower master as soon as possible! ]
Thinking of this, she said politely, "Seniors, I'm so sorry."
"This thunder stone is an extremely rare item."
"I can't make the decision. I need to consult our elders or the tower master first. Please wait for a moment."
"Okay, thank you for your concern, young lady." Lu Jingzhi and Yan An looked at each other and said.
Seeing the two agreed, the short-haired woman nodded slightly, turned around and flew towards the tower alone.
Inside the room——
A man in a plain robe sat leisurely on an old wooden chair, holding an ink brush in his hand, concentrating and meticulously writing on a piece of snow-white paper.
After finishing the last stroke, he stared at the scroll in front of him and placed the ink brush in his hand on the pen holder.
The woman in the painting is tall, cool and noble.
She was wearing a gorgeous long dress, holding a sword tightly in her hand, with her chin slightly raised and her eyes indifferent, like a fairy in the sky, looking at an ordinary mortal.
The man was enchanted by the painting for a long time... He sighed softly and murmured to himself, "Alas... The beauty has left, the lonely bird is flying, tonight is a beautiful night, and I am left with only loneliness and intoxication."
Then he reached out and picked up the wine cup beside him, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
The mellow wine flows down the throat, bringing a burning sensation.
Just then, a slight knock on the door broke the silence in the house.
“Knock knock…”
The sound was not loud, but it was particularly clear in the silent atmosphere.
"Master Tower Master, someone has come to ask for the Thunder Stone." A short-haired woman's respectful voice reported from outside the door.
Upon hearing the news, his gaze, which had been focused on the painting, suddenly turned and quickly headed towards the door.
Impatience showed on his face, and he frowned and asked, "Who is here to ask for the Thunder Stone?!"
"Master Tower Master, I don't know."
"They are very reserved, and we have no way of seeing their true strength."
"Moreover, their faces were unfamiliar to us all."
"You don't even know the other party's identity and strength? What a bunch of trash!" He cursed, then fell silent, as if thinking about something.
After a while, he stood up from his chair, straightened his robes, and said, "Well, if that's the case, then I'll go out and meet him myself."
At the same time, Lu Jingzhi was standing at the gate of Xuan Lei Tower with a helpless look on his face.
Just now, he was surrounded by several elders, who kept asking him about his origins, purpose, and various matters related to the Thunder Stone.
Faced with these questions that came like a tide, even Lu Jingzhi, who was always calm and composed, felt very upset at this moment.
Finally, he could no longer endure this endless interrogation and decided to meet directly with the Tower Master, hoping to resolve the matter as soon as possible.
Just when Lu Jingzhi was feeling irritated, he heard a dull sound and the heavy door of Xuan Lei Tower slowly opened.
Immediately afterwards, the tower master led several elders out, and their eyes all turned to the master and disciple standing opposite them.
