Chapter 94: Harvest, Sudden Darkness (5k, thanks to the alliance leader Xin Yue Qi Tian)
From arriving at his destination to turning around to flee, Yu Ziqing had used only two hours in total.
He opened the door and ran.
No matter what happened behind him, it was no longer his concern.
After all, Lei Yu, often beaten by Ancestor Lei, considered this kind of attention crucial. If he encountered trouble inside, he definitely wouldn't die.
Just like No.4, despite his pathetic pleas for help online.
Yu Ziqing didn't think he was at his wit's end; he was just looking for a less costly way.
These sons of distinguished families, with their profound familial backgrounds, are not just for show.
So, some mistakes they could afford to make boldly, Yu Ziqing dared not, as he didn't have a Ninth Tier powerhouse backing him.
Two hours after Yu Ziqing had left, a figure silently appeared on a hilltop near Sorrow Mountain.
He lifted his head, revealing a face that was concealed, devoid of any features.
He sensed briefly and immediately became somewhat startled.
"Impossible, Qing Ziyu clearly came, so why is his Flying Boat missing?"
After sensing thoroughly again, he confirmed that most of the Lei Clan people were in the camp, and an Eighth Tier master was hiding in a tent.
But Lei Yu was missing, as were several of his trusted aides.
The power fluctuations from the entrance to the Grotto Heaven had also clearly dissipated.
After confirming this, he was somewhat dumbfounded.
Qing Ziyu, just came to help break through the defenses? The hardest part was solved, and yet he left?
Isn't that insane?
Purely a good deed?
Is his relation with the Lei Clan that good?
Or is there another deal?
The Faceless Man, standing in his spot, posed several questions in succession.
This scene indeed exceeded his expectations.
Knowing that Yu Ziqing's White Jade Flying Boat had appeared, he had rushed over immediately without wasting any time.
Yet, in the end, he only received this outcome, causing a slight change in his mindset.
He stood there pondering for a moment, still unsure of what to do next, when suddenly, he felt a movement in his heart and a metal mask appeared in his hand, which he placed on his face.
As the metal mask adhered to his face, his egg-like, hairless and featureless face began sprouting hair, and eyes appeared beneath the mask.
In just a moment, streaks of electricity began to flicker in the air.
The moment the sizzling of the electric light began, it suddenly transformed into a thunderbolt, and an old man with a goat beard and graying hair appeared amidst the bursting thunder.
The old man stared solemnly at the other, his brows slightly furrowed.
"Faceless Man?"
"What about it? Are you targeting the Lei Clan, or is it Emperor Zhen's doing?"
The Faceless Man shook his head, took a step back, indicating a concession.
"I have no particular intentions regarding the Lei Clan; I was just passing by, sensed an odd fluctuation, and stopped to have a look."
The old man stood still, his face composed, silent.
The Faceless Man slowly retreated behind a tree and vanished without a trace.
The old man turned around and after taking three steps, a flash of Thunder Light beneath his feet sent out a thunderbolt skimming the ground, instantly pulverizing the big tree where the Faceless Man had vanished. The Thunder Light spread like branches, plowing every inch of the land within a tens of meters radius.
After confirming the other had truly left, the old man disappeared from the spot.
The Faceless Man appearing nearby and watching in secret, whether intentional or not, the Lei Clan would take it as deliberate.
The old man took out a Jade Scroll, engraved a message on it, and with a flash of Thunder Light in his palm, the Jade Scroll shot into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.
After the previous great battle had paused, some foolhardy individuals in court began bringing up the Lei Clan.
Do they really think that the Lei Clan members in the court are dead?
Now having discovered the Faceless Man, this just provides Ancestor Li with an excuse to strike.
On Thunder Collection Mountain, Lei Li reached out and a thunderbolt fell from the sky, materializing a Jade Scroll in his palm.
He glanced at it and burst into laughter.
"You guys keep watch here, I'm going to beat up the boss of the Faceless Man."
Lei Li, his body flickering with Thunder Light, disappeared on the spot.
Moments later, at the headquarters of the Faceless Man, the Formation suddenly activated. A bolt of Thunder Light from the sky instantly tore through the abruptly activated seventeen-layer Formation.
It struck directly into the room of the boss of the Faceless Man.
Instantly, Divine Light burst forth, and with the bright flashing electric light, the room was blasted into bits.
Lei Li, his body shimmering with Thunder Light and eyes emitting a blinding brightness, his hair standing on end as if furious, appeared furious.
"It's not easy for Lei Clan to have an offspring who is slightly sensible and has a better temperament.
You guys, these sly bastards, just want to play dirty, huh?
If I find out again that a Faceless Man appears near Lei Yu, I'll crush every one of them I see!"
In the midst of the Thunder Light, a brawny man, both dumbfounded and enraged, upon hearing this, immediately shrank his neck, crossed his arms in front of him, blocking his face, and curled up, letting Lei Li vent.
Since he was an individual cultivator and Lei Li hadn't planned to kill him, he wouldn't come to any serious harm.
And Lei Li was just punching and kicking, not using his trump card at all.
After beating the brawny man until he was swollen all over and fatter by a notch, and the surrounding buildings were shattered by the aftershocks, he finally stopped.
