110: The secret to the top, Lei family arrives

The communicator suddenly rang, and in the holographic image projected, Chen Xuan's face showed a hint of weariness and sternness.

He stood in the wilderness outside the Western Military Region, with vast yellow sands behind him.

A self-mocking smile appeared on his face, "I'm homeless now."

Su Lei watched him quietly, not responding immediately.

Chen Xuan continued, "The Martial Alliance Association has officially dismissed me. The position of branch president in Huaxing City now belongs to someone from the Lei Family."

He raised his hand, and a broken Martial Alliance badge appeared in his palm. His Protective Aura vibrated slightly, grinding it completely into powder.

"The mission failed, Lei Qianjue died, and I... came back alive."

"In the eyes of those people, this in itself is a 'crime'."

Su Lei finally spoke, "So, you've come to me now because you want to join the Western Military Region?"

"That's right."

Su Lei's eyes flickered slightly. After a moment of silence, he slowly nodded, "You can."

Half an hour later, the moment Chen Xuan stepped into the Kunlun Secret Realm, his pupils suddenly contracted.

The ancient, mottled murals on the rock walls glowed eerily under the searchlights.

The scenes of sword-wielding figures battling ferocious Demonic Beasts instantly awakened his long-sealed memories.

"This is impossible..."

His fingers trembled slightly as he touched the familiar sword mark pattern on the rock wall.

Su Lei stood beside him, keenly noticing his abnormality: "Have you seen similar murals before?"

Chen Xuan took a deep breath, his eyes becoming profound, and in a hoarse voice, he recounted the past.

At that time, Lei Mietian, as the pioneering captain, led ten Grandmasters, including him, into the Secret Realm.

In the deepest part of the Secret Realm, they not only discovered star marrow but also found an altar covered with similar murals.

"Lei Mietian did something very strange at the time," Chen Xuan whispered, "He handed over all the excavated star marrow to the Federation, only making one condition: that the Lei Family take over the Secret Realm."

No one knew what had happened.

A month later, Lei Mietian suddenly announced that he had broken through the Grandmaster Realm, reaching an unprecedented Realm.

He was the first Great Grandmaster in history, becoming the first person in the Federation's history, and proactively requested to become the General President of the Martial Alliance Association.

The Federation was shocked upon hearing this.

The Martial Alliance Association immediately sent out ten branch presidents to jointly test him, but they were suppressed by Lei Mietian with a single move!

Chen Xuan's fists unconsciously clenched: "From then on, the Lei Family completely controlled the Martial Alliance Association..."

"So that's how it is..."

After listening to Chen Xuan's account, Su Lei finally understood why the Martial Alliance Association was so eager to lead the exploration of the Kunlun Secret Realm, and why Lei Family's third Young Master personally led the team.

It wasn't just because of the star marrow; it was because a secret that allowed Grandmasters to further Breakthrough was hidden here!

Martial Artists and Martial Masters could be divided into first, second, third, and fourth tiers.

But once one reached the Grandmaster Realm, the division of Realms was not so clear.

At this stage, a Martial Artist's Qi and physical body had basically been honed to the Peak; relying solely on Qi and blood values could not determine the level of combat power.

Testing strength also became a joke, as there was no force-measuring device on the market that could withstand a Grandmaster's full-strength blow.

The difference between Grandmasters became the grade of Martial Skills, whether they also cultivated Mental Energy, and the richness and skill of using Protective Aura.

Before Lei Mietian, it was generally believed that Grandmaster was the end of the Martial Dao path..."Beep—! Beep—!"

A piercing alarm suddenly sounded.

The military communicator on Su Lei's waist emitted a dazzling red light.

Lin Qianqian's tone was serious, "Emergency!"

"An unidentified fighter jet has broken through the Western Air Defense Identification Zone at Mach 4.8 and is rapidly approaching the Kunlun coordinates in a straight line!"

On the radar map, a crimson light spot was tearing through the clouds at an alarming speed.

Fifteen Western Military Region interceptor jets trailed long flames behind it, but were consistently unable to close the distance.

"The opponent used the Federation's highest-level electronic jamming code."

"All our missiles missed, and five elite teams have been dispatched for close-range interception..."

The next moment,

Lin Qianqian suddenly gasped.

On the large screen of the command center, five green light spots extinguished simultaneously.

The last transmitted image data began to play automatically—

In the footage, the Western Military Region's fighter jet group had just completed its encirclement formation.

The captain's calm shouts could still be heard on the public channel:

"Unidentified aircraft, you have invaded Federation airspace. Immediately state your identity—"

Before he could finish speaking.

A dazzling purple lightning bolt suddenly pierced through the heavens and earth!

The light was so brilliant that even the projection screen showed overexposed white patches.

When vision recovered, only twisted, vaporized metal debris slowly fell from the location where the fighter jets had been.

The entire process took no more than 0.3 seconds...In the deathly silence of the command center, Lin Qianqian's voice carried a slight tremor.

"Energy waveform analysis complete... 99.9% match."

She slowly looked up, her eyes reflecting the cold blue light of the data stream,

"Confirmed to be the Lei Family's S-rank forbidden technique, Lei Shi Body Forging."

The image froze on the last frame before the lightning burst:

Thousands of meters away, a blurry figure stood in the air, with an eerie purple lightning dancing at his fingertips.

Su Lei's eyes suddenly turned cold, but his voice was terrifyingly calm.

"Lei Mietian... came in person?"

The temperature inside the cave seemed to drop to freezing point instantly.

The detector in the expert's hand dropped to the ground with a "clatter."

Liu Hongyan unconsciously took half a step back, even her breathing stopped.

Chen Xuan's Adam's apple bobbed, and fine cold sweat seeped from his temples.

He slowly shook his head, his voice hoarse and low: "No... Lei Mietian wouldn't come in person."

Everyone's gaze focused on him.

Chen Xuan's fingers unconsciously rubbed the broken Martial Alliance badge at his waist, and he continued:

"As far as I know, the Martial Alliance Association's current mission focus is in the east. Lei Mietian, as the General President, wouldn't personally act for a Grandmaster."

"But the Lei Family's two Young Masters..."

Chen Xuan took a deep breath, his expression unusually solemn.

"Lei Qianjue is dead. The remaining Lei Jingyu and Lei Pojun are both top-tier existences among Grandmasters."

"Each of them has individually fought three or more Grandmasters without defeat."

"Within the same Realm... they are almost invincible."

He scanned the crowd, finally resting his gaze on Su Lei, and said word by word:

"The Lei Family also has those loyal retainers, trained since childhood, all of whom are Martial Arts Grandmasters..."

A deathly silence fell around them.

Lin Qianqian subconsciously looked at Su Lei, a hint of unconcealed worry flashing in her eyes.

The surrounding officers and researchers also held their breath, the air so heavy it felt as if water could be wrung from it.

Only at this moment did they truly realize—

Just how terrifying the Lei Family was.

Su Lei raised his hand, his voice leaving no room for doubt:

"All personnel, withdraw to Security Zone Number Three within ten minutes!"

Researchers and officers quickly packed up equipment, their footsteps echoing urgently in the cave.

Chen Xuan stood still. Only when the last staff member's figure disappeared at the end of the passage did he slowly speak: "I'll stay."

Su Lei did not object, merely giving a faint "Mm."
