The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 117
Chapter 117 Encountered Extermination (1)
After entering the ancient wheel passageway, XinFeng, Tanda, and Wu Zhen arrived at a piece of land. This was the first time XinFeng had seen land in Wanhu Continent. Even if it was land, it was covered in a dense network of rivers and some sparse woods. Along the river, there were a large number of simple and crude houses made of adobe. The roofs were covered with reeds, and every household had boats.
Compared to the lake, The population on land is clearly much denser, Along the way, Lei Xingfeng discovered that the average person here, Life was quite difficult. Regardless of whether it was wearing or living conditions, their complexion was not bad. Obviously, they were relying on rivers and lakes. They did not lack food. In addition, the climate in Myriad Lakes was warm and humid. The people here did not care about wearing clothes. Most men were naked and liked to have all kinds of patterns tattooed on their bodies.
Almost all of the people on the road who wore silk were low-level cultivators. Moreover, they were all overbearing and domineering. In this world, cultivators were like natural nobles. They possessed the power that ordinary people feared. In small places, they became local tyrants and rulers.
Tan Da said, “I’ve been to this place a few times.”
Lei Xingfeng asked curiously, “What are you doing here?”
Tan Daodao said, “When a sect recruits people and tests their ability to recruit disciples, they will go to many places. Haha, every time is a grand festival. For ordinary people, it is an opportunity to change their fate.”
Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, “Indeed, as long as you become a cultivator, even a Hundred Lun Master and a Thousand Lun Master, once you return, you will be a local tyrant.”
Tan Da said, “This place has a large population and there are many cultivators. It is much weaker in the Great Lake. There are very few lands in Myriad Lakes Continent. Many people are willing to live on land and are unwilling to enter the Great Lake. So are cultivators.”
Lei Xingfeng said, “So you chose to enter the Great Lake to occupy a few markets?”
Tan Da bitterly smiled and said, “Yeah, who would have thought that I would bump into you.”
Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, “The result isn’t bad, is it?”
Tan Da immediately smiled and said, “Of course, I’m lucky. If I meet an unreasonable expert, I might die there.”
Wu Zhen said, “No way. Cultivators aren’t crazy either.”
Tan Daodao said, “A madman? No need for a madman. A Daoist level cultivator doesn’t need to go crazy at all. As long as you give him a reason, killing you is like killing a chicken. He doesn’t need to care at all. If he kills you, then he kills you. What can you do?”
Wu Zhen was immediately speechless. Thinking about it, it was also true. If he was a True Human expert, even if he killed Wu Zhen, what could he do? Everyone was dead, so no matter who would avenge him, Master would not be able to do so.
XinFeng said, “Either you are strong, or you have powerful people behind you, so that your opponent doesn’t dare to kill indiscriminately. Otherwise, there’s really nothing you can do.” Only then did he understand why he was so cautious when he met Tan Da. That was why he avoided a massacre. If he was unscrupulous and killed Xinfeng, then XinFeng would definitely not stand idly by. With his strength, meeting XinFeng would be a near-certain death situation.
Wu Zhen said, “Then we low-level cultivators aren’t too miserable.”
Tan Da sneered, “Forget it, miserable shit. Look at ordinary people. That’s miserable. At the very least, you still have powerful martial power. If you encounter an expert like Senior Lei, there’s still room for improvement. Don’t be infatuated. Being able to cultivate is lucky. Ordinary people encounter you, and your life and death are all in your mind. Don’t be dissatisfied.”
“I have never randomly killed an ordinary person,” Wu Zhen said.
Lei Xingfeng said, “That’s because you’re unwilling. If it’s a bastard cultivator, if he kills indiscriminately, there’s no way for ordinary people to stop him other than to flee.”
Wu Zhen said, “Sigh, I still think it’s better to be at home. At least my master can protect the safety of my hometown.”
Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, “There’s no need to think nonsense. Just be yourself.”
Wu Zhen nodded and said, “Senior Lei, is there any chance for me to improve?”
XinFeng said, “Yes, persevere. You should have no problem reaching Milun Master.”
Tan Da immediately poured cold water on it. He said, “Milun Master is at his peak. Without outside help, you would only be a Milun Master in this lifetime. Your aptitude is too poor. If you use a Wheel Ring or something like that, you might barely be able to enter the Daoist level, but you … don’t have a Wheel Ring.”
Wu Zhen rolled his eyes when he was struck. He said, “I will try my best to complete Senior Lei’s mission. I will always get enough rings.”
Tan Da shook his head and said, “Obviously, Senior Lei won’t be staying with us for long. Also … how many missions do you think Senior Lei will have?”
XinFeng couldn’t help but laugh. This fellow was definitely a shrewd person, and his guess was almost accurate. He said, “Actually, it’s not that serious. After a while, I’ll probably take you to another place in Myriad Lakes Continent. It depends on whether you’re willing or not.”
Tan Da said almost without hesitation, “Of course I am willing.”
“Me too,” said Wu Zhen. If he didn’t hug such thick legs, he would be an idiot. He wasn’t an idiot.
Lei Xingfeng was secretly pleased. Although he did not intend to form a large force, he needed people to gather information and materials. It was impossible for him to complete such a task by himself. Only by gathering a group of people could he help him. After becoming a disciple, he had such an awareness.
Two days later, the three of them arrived at a hill. This was a hill surrounded by rivers. It was very rare to see in this land. Through the wide river, Lei Xingfeng could clearly see the houses on the hill.
XinFeng asked, “Is this where that person lives?”
Tan Daodao: “Yes, just where he lives.”
XinFeng asked curiously, “Does he also have a sect? What’s his name?”
Tan Daodao said, “He used to have a sect, but like me, the sect was annihilated by his enemies. He fled here because the terrain here is quite unique, so he lived here in seclusion and gradually subdued all the small forces in the surroundings. Only then did he form this sphere of influence. His name is Lu Hao, a very shrewd fellow.”
Lei Xingfeng said, “Last time, you said that he was the Four Ring True Body’s Grand Lun Yin Adept?”
Tan Da nodded and said, “Yes, it’s Daoist Grand Lun Yin.”
Wu Zhen asked curiously, “Mr. Tan, are you familiar with him?”
Tan Da blushed slightly and said, “I’m not familiar with it. I came here because of a sect mission. When I recruited disciples, I saw him twice. It was more than ten years ago. I wonder if he still knows me.”
Wu Zhen said, “Uh, you’re not familiar …”
Tan Da kicked him and said, “It doesn’t matter if you’re familiar with him or not. Just find him to understand the situation!”
Wu Zhen only remembered after getting a kick on his butt. This fellow was a real person, and his courage was getting bigger and bigger. He wiped away a handful of cold sweat and said, “Yes, yes, as long as it’s useful.”
Lei Xingfeng said, “How do I get there?”
Tan Da said, “Go around here … There’s a ferry ahead.”
Lei Xingfeng said, “Alright, let’s go.”
…
Because of the four sides of the river, if you want to go to Lu Hao’s home, you must use a ferry, unless you have a six-ring true body and fly directly to the hill.
The three of them quickly found the ferry. It was a small market town. The buildings here were decent. They were all wooden houses. Of course, in Lei Xingfeng’s eyes, this kind of house was too crude. This market town was also built along the river bank. Every family had small boats.
There was a stone platform beside the river. There were many small boats docking there. Tan Da said, “This is the place. The houses over there are guarded by Lu Hao’s disciples. We need to pay a visit first and then we can cross the river.”
The three of them stood at the edge of the market. Wu Zhen said, “Who is that? Haha, he’s wearing a mask …”
Lei Xingfeng turned around and saw a dozen or so people quickly walking towards the room where the Lu Hao disciple was. The most peculiar thing was the dozen or so people, each wearing a mask.
Tan Da also revealed an expression of surprise. Lei Xingfeng said, “Is it Lu Hao’s disciple?”
Wu Zhen smiled and said, “Disciple, why are you wearing a mask?”
Tan Daodao said, “No, this is the first time I’ve seen a disciple of Lu Hao. He hasn’t worn a mask before … It’s strange.”
Seeing more than a dozen people enter the room, the three of them didn’t care. There were simply too many people dressed in strange clothes in this world, and no one would talk about it at all.
Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, “Looks like Lu Hao has a lot of visitors. Let’s go.” Before he could finish speaking, he heard a miserable scream, followed by a loud explosion. The entire wooden house instantly exploded like a bomb. The entire house exploded, the wooden boards flew everywhere, and angry shouts sounded.
XinFeng and the others’ expressions immediately changed. The three of them immediately retreated. At this moment, 70 to 80 masked people suddenly appeared around them. Each of them had weapons in their hands and were slaughtering their way into the town from the periphery. Some even held torches in their hands and set the house on fire. Immediately, the entire town burst into tears and howls, causing the ordinary people to flee everywhere.
In less than a few minutes, the air was already filled with a strong stench of blood.
All three of them were stunned.
It was Tan Da who reacted quickly. He shouted, “It should be revenge!”
“We, I … what should we do?” Wu Zhen asked in shock.
Lei Xingfeng’s expression turned a little ugly. He could not bear to see such unbridled slaughter, especially of ordinary people. He could tell that these slaughterers were all low-level cultivators. They were practically unbridled in their indiscriminate killing. No matter if it was men, women, young or old, anyone was the target of slaughter.
Tan Da said, “I’m afraid we’re also implicated!”
Two masked men rushed over with steel spears in their hands. Without a doubt, their target was Lei Xingfeng and the others. Whoever made them stand on the street, it was not surprising that their target was so obvious that it would attract people to kill them.
