"Um."
To everyone's surprise, Li Yu simply gave a faint "hmm," seemingly unconcerned about the provocative undertone in Lei Xiao's words.
Lei Xiao was somewhat bewildered by this brief answer and didn't know how to respond for a moment.
Lee Yu killed Park Dong-hoon, which meant that the cooperation between Jungju and the Park family had completely collapsed.
It's important to know that many people in Zhongzhou rely heavily on Park Dong-hoon for their livelihood.
While Li Yu's actions resolved the problem quickly, they essentially overturned the entire situation, inevitably causing quite a stir in Zhongzhou.
Lei Xiao pondered for a moment. Since he couldn't save the Korean, then the matter was over. What happened after the Korean died was none of his concern.
"boom--"
The ground suddenly shook violently, the intense tremors seeming to come from deep within the earth.
Tiny cracks began to appear on the boulders and the ground beneath their feet, as if a dried-up riverbed were frantically absorbing rainwater.
A faint aura of energy emanates from these cracks, as if something is eagerly trying to break free from underground.
"They're here..."
Lei Xiao knew very well that this intense tremor was not accidental, but a sign that the earth's veins were about to awaken.
He immediately looked up at the surrounding area, which had become a ruin of a giant stone forest.
Those broken and fallen boulders lay scattered about like broken stone swords.
The suppression of tens of thousands of giant stone swords has now been almost completely destroyed.
"The time is almost up," Lei Xiao murmured to himself, sensing the earthquake.
"Master said that when the earth veins are about to awaken, there will be two snakes dancing together, and he was right."
His master, a sword immortal, solemnly told him that the emergence of earth veins meant the world was about to undergo a great change.
I am already old, so I left this rare opportunity to him.
Lei Xiao vaguely remembered that when his sword immortal master talked about this matter, he looked regretful and his eyes were full of longing for that opportunity, wishing he could come and obtain the earth vein inheritance himself.
The master even said to himself: If he were really decades younger, there would be no chance for his stupid disciple Lei Xiao.
Legend has it that there are only twelve ley lines on the Central Plains, and the rise of each ley line is equivalent to a precious inheritance.
The sword immortal master also said that after obtaining the earth vein inheritance, the person and the superpower will be completely integrated without any rejection. After that, using the superpower will be as free as using one's own hands and feet.
As for other benefits after receiving the inheritance, there must be some, but even though he was already a sword immortal, his master had never personally received the inheritance, so he was unaware of it.
Moreover, the choice of inheritance is a two-way street; people choose the land's veins, and the land's veins also choose people.
Only those who are qualified will ultimately succeed in obtaining the power of inheritance.
The master had already sensed that the rise of the first ley line on the Central Plains was this giant stone forest before them.
Remembering his master's constant longing for the inheritance and the crucial information he had been given, Lei Xiao knew he had to hurry.
Lei Xiao immediately turned to the others and said seriously:
"The pursuit mission is complete. Follow me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he flew up on his sword and quickly rushed into the depths of the stone forest.
Upon hearing this, Du Xiayue and the others quickly followed, and Sun Chengyu also hurriedly led the injured Liu Xin to catch up.
Li Yu rode Little Black, following behind at a leisurely pace.
He seemed to sense some energy fluctuation, and turned to look at the surrounding giant stone forest, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
A moment later, the group followed Lei Xiao to a huge stone pillar lying on its side.
This stone pillar is crooked and extremely strange, like a sleeping dragon lying on the ground, exuding an ancient and vicissitudes aura.
Lei Xiao seemed to have already discovered the criminals hiding here and had taken them into custody.
Upon closer inspection, the group saw two floating swords hovering in front of Xiong Mao and his wife.
The cold, gleaming blade seemed to be a silent warning to them that if they made the slightest move, they would be attacked without hesitation.
The moment they saw the flying sword appear, the couple knew they were doomed.
Because very few people can fly on swords, the flying sword signifies that Lei Xiao, the young master of the Thunder Bureau, has personally come.
With the young master's strength, they had no chance of escaping, so they simply gave up resisting.
At this moment, when they saw Lei Xiao land on his sword, Xiong Mao and his wife were covered in dust and their hopes were completely gone.
Presumably, Park Dong-hoon, who came to meet them, is no match for Lei Xiao either.
Sun Chengyu, who followed closely behind, fell from the sky and placed Liu Xin on the ground.
The moment Liu Xin saw Xiong Mao, his eyes blazed with fury. Despite his severe injuries, he immediately rushed forward, his voice filled with exasperation and disappointment as he questioned him:
"Old Bear, what have you done!"
Liu Xin's voice was hoarse, his tone filled with disappointment and heartache:
"We've known each other for years, and I've always considered you a brother. Why are you doing this?!"
Upon hearing this, Xiong Mao simply lowered his head and remained silent.
Liu Xin's words were like a whip lashing his face.
Seeing Xiong Mao's resigned look, Liu Xin became even angrier and grabbed Xiong Mao by the collar.
His hands were trembling, his knuckles turning bluish-white from extreme physical weakness.
"How much did that guy pay you? You even cheated your own brothers? Tell me!" Liu Xin's voice was almost a shout, echoing in the silent stone forest.
Xiong Mao then raised his head, looked directly at Liu Xin, and answered:
"fifty thousand."
The veins on Liu Xin's forehead bulged instantly, and his finger almost poked Xiong Mao's nose:
