OMG! I Transmigrated into Four Books at the Same Time!

Lin Lei's body involuntarily stiffened.

"If you don't want to talk about it, then never mind," Shi Nian said.

But without knowing the full picture, she fears she cannot fully utilize Lin Lei.

This caution is necessary.

Lin Lei hesitated for a moment, his expression slowly becoming resolute, "There's nothing bad about talking about it."

Shi Nian called out in her mind, Xiao Tong.

Xiao Tong replied, "Don't worry, with me here, whether he lies or not, I can tell in an instant."

Lin Lei slowly began to narrate, he softly said, "I don't know if you have ever heard of the Five Extreme Immortal Emperor?"

Shi Nian nodded, but Qing Yi looked puzzled.

She was born in the Lost Land and had lived there since childhood. Everything about the outside world, she learned from Lin Lei. However, Lin Lei had never mentioned these matters nor talked specifically about his past.

Other than knowing he had a mortal enemy who also harmed his parents, Qing Yi knew nothing else.

Lin Lei gave a bitter smile and said, "The Five Extreme Immortal Emperor refers to the five strongest at the Immortal Emperor Peak in the Immortal World, each suppressing one extreme, each with earth-shaking abilities. Originally, they governed the Immortal World, and although the survival of the fittest is common, there was generally order. However, over the past ten thousand years, the Five Extreme Immortal Emperor suddenly all retired; even in major incidents, only avatars would appear, and more often, even the avatars couldn't appear. Under these circumstances, most of the authorities of the Five Extreme Immortal Emperor were delegated to the subordinates. I was born in the Northern Immortal Domain, and after the Northern Immortal Emperor retired, most powers fell into the hands of his top general, Feiyun Immortal Emperor. Initially, this Feiyun Immortal Emperor acted normal, but later, he suddenly began collecting people with unique bloodlines. At first, he claimed it was for research, even offering high rewards."

"At that time, many people with unique bloodlines willingly went there for the rewards. But later, everyone started to realize something was wrong; none who went to Feiyun Prefecture came out. It soon became a demonic den with no exit. After that, no one voluntarily went there any longer. Feiyun also straightforwardly stopped pretending, sending out large numbers of troops to openly capture those with special bloodlines. Once targeted by him, even if they fled to the ends of the earth, they would be captured."

At this point, a pained expression flickered across Lin Lei's eyes.

He calmed his emotions before continuing, "As you might have guessed, my father and I have unique bloodlines. My father was also a subordinate under the Northern Immortal Emperor, effectively a colleague of Feiyun. He tried several times to stop Feiyun's transgressions unsuccessfully, and in a clash, he revealed his special bloodline. At the time, Feiyun said nothing, and my father thought that despite his arrogance, Feiyun wouldn't act against a colleague."

"Nevertheless, Feiyun did exactly that. He fabricated some evidence, accused my father of siding with the Demon Clan, and then led troops to surround Lin Mansion."

"That night, three hundred and fifty-two lives in Lin Mansion, were all slaughtered," Lin Lei's chest heaved: "Only my father and I survived. But he didn't want to let us go, he wanted our bloodlines to be refined!"

"For forty-nine days of seven, I watched with open eyes, not missing a single moment, just watched as he refined my father bit by bit. In the end, he even crushed my father's corpse into ash, leaving not even a speck of dust." At this point, Lin Lei started to tremble uncontrollably.

Back then, he was just a child.

Forty-nine days of seven!

He knew Feiyun purposefully wanted him to watch, he knew, Feiyun wanted to torment him.

But he watched it all without missing a thing.

He etched it all in his heart, engraved in his soul.

All he thought about,

If he were to die then and there, it would all finally be over.

If he could survive, today's grudge, he would pay back a hundredfold.

"Little Stone," Qing Yi was already crying, she suddenly hugged Lin Lei: "Let's not talk anymore, let's not think about these things anymore."

In his mind, the young boy was also wiping his tears with a handkerchief. Sobbing, he lamented, "This is just too pitiful."

Shi Nian felt somewhat sympathetic and couldn't help but soften her voice, "That's enough. No need to say more."

Lin Lei, however, shook his head as he softly said, "It is necessary for you, senior, to know these things. Otherwise, after you rescued me and Qing Yi, we might inadvertently drag you into trouble later. It's better to know early, to take precautions."

Lin Lei collected his emotions and continued, "After that, he secluded himself to diligently refine my father's bloodline. I was imprisoned, just waiting for my turn after he finished with my father's. However, during his seclusion, my father's subordinates found an opportunity and rescued me at the cost of their lives. Escorted by them, I fled all the way. On the road, they died one by one to save me. In the end, only I survived, escaping to the Lost Land where I met elder sister and others, and have lived until now."

Lin Lei quietly said, "Over the years here, I've no longer thought about revenge, only hoping to survive. Unexpectedly, his men found me again."

Lin Lei looked at Qing Yi with an apologetic expression, "Elder sister, I really thought I could hide from it here, but I never expected... he could even find this place."

This Feiyun must have a unique method for tracking bloodlines.

The violent aura of the Lost Land helped him evade several years of searches. But it couldn't hide him forever.

The man who died here failed to report back. Given Feiyun's obsession with bloodlines, it won't be long before a second or third person comes, and eventually, he himself might arrive.

"Senior," Lin Lei said with a pale face, "You better not get involved with me anymore. That person... that person is terrifyingly formidable. Even you, senior, might not be his match once he personally arrives."

Shi Nian was not very flustered, her curiosity prompted her to ask, "How does that person compare to Emperor Jiang, senior?"

Lin Lei was taken aback, "This... I have limited knowledge; I can't judge."

"Can this Feiyun defeat an Immortal Venerate?" Shi Nian inquired.

Lin Lei was startled and quickly responded, "How could that be possible? If he had the combat power of an Immortal Venerate Level, he would have taken the position of the Beiji Immortal Emperor."

Shi Nian pondered, so that means Emperor Jiang is stronger.

But.

She can't always depend on Emperor Jiang and needs to breakthrough to the Immortal Emperor Level herself to directly confront these Immortal and Demon Emperors.

Actually.

She shouldn't have meddled in this business, but firstly, Feiyun's actions were indeed detestable.

Secondly, she had already taken action and killed that man, forming a feud. Thus, Feiyun was also her enemy.

For enemies, hiding is futile. Shi Nian has only one principle; that is, attack is the best defense.

"How long do you think it will take for this Feiyun to personally come here?" Shi Nian inquired.

Lin Lei replied, "Given his cautious nature, he normally wouldn't act personally. It would probably take at least a year or two."

Shi Nian felt even more relieved.

A year or two?

She would have already broken through to the Immortal Emperor level by then!
