140: Torrential rain at night, the conspiracy of the three major clans

"Rebellion?" Lei Mietian chuckled, black lightning flickering at his fingertips.

"My Lei Family just ceded the Changbai Mountain Secret Realm to the Federation, so how can there be talk of rebellion?"

He walked slowly forward, and with each step, spiderweb-like cracks spread across the ground.

"The Federation has treated me well?"

Lei Mietian suddenly burst into laughter, yet his laughter carried a bone-chilling coldness.

"The second great calamity is about to arrive. As a Great Grandmaster, it is only right that I become the leader of the Federation and guide all of humanity through this difficult time."

"Yet those corrupt old fogeys are unwilling to give up their power and constantly target my Lei Family!"

"It doesn't matter anymore. With the Three Great Families joining forces, it's time for this Federation to change the world..."

Xing Wuyu's pupils contracted sharply. He gritted his teeth and struggled to stand up.

However, Lei Mietian merely sneered, raising his hand and pressing down—

"Thunder Devourer · Heavenly Punishment!"

"Boom—!!!"

Countless black lightning bolts poured down like a torrential rain. The Shadow Blade members had no time to dodge and were instantly engulfed by the lightning!

Amidst screams, their Protective Aura shattered, and their flesh was charred!

Xing Wuyu roared and charged forward, but Lei Mietian punched him in the chest, the sound of bones breaking clearly audible!

Immediately after, the lightning transformed into chains, instantly binding everyone tightly.

Lei Mietian glanced at the Elder beside him.

"Lock them all in the East Sea Dragon Cave."

"Tell the Federation to withdraw everyone from the Northern Theater Command and the Eastern Theater Command within three days."

"Brother Lei, what if the Federation doesn't agree?" Nangong Yue toyed with a strand of her hair, an eerie purple glow flickering in her eyes.

Situ Yin sinisterly added, "Shadow Blade is an indispensable fighting force for the Federation. Now that these elites are in our hands, they will have no choice but to compromise."

Lei Mietian gripped Xing Wuyu's head, slowly lifting him.

"Don't agree?"

"Then these Shadow Blades will become sacrifices to awaken the Ancient Demonic Beasts."

"When the Imperial Capital falls, that will be our time to clean up the mess."

... Imperial Capital Airport.

The night wind howled, and the roar of the turbine engine tore through the silence.

Su Lei's gaze pierced through the airplane window, falling upon his wife, Li Xue凝, tightly embracing their two children.

Su Qiaoqiao's small face was pressed against the glass, waving vigorously at him.

Su Lei nodded slightly, a wisp of Mental Energy imprint silently attaching itself to the underside of the wing.

This was a new technique he had recently comprehended; he could sense anything within a thousand li.

Soon, the private jet disappeared into the vast night sky.

The next moment, his communicator vibrated slightly, displaying an encrypted message.

"Shadow Blade has acted. Lei Mietian confirmed to have appeared."

Su Lei's eyes darkened. He took a deep breath.

This meant that the Shadow Blade squad was likely in grave danger.

This was also the opportunity they had created for him at the cost of their lives... Su Lei put away his communication device and walked towards the Shadow Blade's private jet, which had been waiting for a long time not far away.

The plane roared as it shot into the sky, flying eastward.

Su Lei leaned back in his seat, his eyes gently closed.

Deep within his Sea of Consciousness, the ancient bronze bell slowly rotated with a mysterious rhythm, ancient runes appearing and disappearing on its mottled surface.

Whenever the bell chimed, his Soul would tremble with it,

and his Mental Energy became increasingly solid, like steel tempered a thousand times.

Upon internal inspection, his Small World was undergoing earth-shattering changes.

The small island, originally no bigger than an inch, continuously extended into the Chaos, waves crashing against the newly formed reefs, and even tender green grass sprouts emerged from the rock crevices.

"Sir, we are about to land." The flight attendant's gentle reminder pulled him back to reality.

Outside the window, the lights of Binhai City twinkled like stars.

When the private jet landed at the military airport, the rain was pouring down.

Su Lei did not hold an umbrella; the rainwater was repelled by an invisible Protective Aura three inches from his body.

He lightly tapped his toes, and in just a few breaths, he arrived at the city center.

As he passed through the monitored area, all the cameras mysteriously flickered with static.

Soon, the outline of the Lei Family's luxurious manor appeared in the rain—

Twelve-meter-high obsidian walls, with the faint glow of lightning runes flowing across their surface.

At the main entrance, eight guards, their scimitars at their waists, were wrapped in visible currents of electricity.

Su Lei lightly tapped the raindrops with his toes, rising into the air as if treading on solid ground.

With each step, his figure flickered like an illusion, silently passing through layers of Restrictions, not even disturbing the flow of air.

When the guards, sensing something, looked up, they only saw an afterimage flash over the wall, the lightning defense Formation not even having time to activate.

Moments later, Su Lei stood in the shadow of a tall building in the distance, his gaze coldly fixed on his target.

Thunder Cloud Pavilion, top floor.

The rain poured relentlessly, lightning rolled through the heavy clouds, and occasional flashes illuminated the entire Lei Family manor in a stark white.

Lei Xiao sat cross-legged, his body surrounded by circulating Thunder Protective Aura.

Purple-black electric arcs coiled around his robust body like swimming Dragons, each breath accompanied by a low rumble of thunder.

As the Grand Elder of the Lei Family, a Peak Grandmaster, he had long Cultivated his lightning Cultivation Technique to its pinnacle. At this moment, he was adjusting his internal Qi, preparing to break through to a higher level.

Suddenly—

He abruptly opened his eyes, his pupils contracting sharply!

"Who?!"

"Swish—!"

A flash of blade light, swift as lightning, silently struck before his eyes!

Lei Xiao roared, his internal Thunder Protective Aura erupting. Violent electricity formed a layer of purple-black Protective Aura around his body, attempting to withstand the blow head-on.

However, the blade light was incredibly strange, piercing through his defenses like a swimming fish, precisely striking a node in his Thunder Protective Aura's circulation!

"Pfft—!"

The blade entered flesh, blood splattering!

Lei Xiao grunted, his entire body's Thunder Protective Aura instantly collapsing. His limbs felt bound by invisible chains, and he was momentarily unable to move!

He was furious and alarmed, staring intently at the figure emerging from the shadows—

"Su Lei?!"

Su Lei slowly sheathed his blade, a drop of blood from the blade falling to the ground, silently seeping into the carpet.

His eyes were cold, as if looking at a dead man.

"Grand Elder Lei Xiao, you've been waiting a long time."

Lei Xiao roared, his internal Thunder Protective Aura violently surging, attempting to forcibly break through the seal.

However, Su Lei took a step forward, his right hand gripping Lei Xiao's head like an iron clamp, his five fingers deeply embedded in the flesh!

"You're courting death—!"

Lei Xiao's eyes were bloodshot, and lightning surged in his Sea of Consciousness, attempting to retaliate.

However, Su Lei's eyes suddenly glowed with a seven-colored light, and the bronze ancient bell in his Sea of Consciousness vibrated slightly—

"Dong—!"

The bell's chime was like heavenly might, a vast ocean of Mental Energy instantly crushing down!

"Ah—!!!"

Lei Xiao let out a shrill scream, his Sea of Consciousness forcibly torn apart, countless memory fragments flooding into Su Lei's mind like a tide!

The Three Great Families' conspiracy... first destroy the Xiao Family, then kill Su Lei... force the Federation to cede control of the Secret Realm... Su Lei's eyes grew colder, the force in his hand almost crushing Lei Xiao's head.

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

He casually threw Lei Xiao aside and opened the Shadow Blade's communicator.

However, what came through was not the familiar hoarse voice, but a deep, resonant cold laugh—

"Su Lei, you finally decided to contact me."

Su Lei's gaze sharpened, his knuckles tightened slightly, and the communicator's casing let out a strained "crack, crack" sound.

"Lei Mietian?"

"That's right, it's me."
