222: Forbidden Zone forces arrive

"Good! We all know you are no ordinary person. In the future, you will leave the Profound Realm for the Forbidden Ground to fight for a place in that world. Now, if the Xuan Lei Sect can help you with anything, just ask!"

"Thank you, Revered Master! I will always be a Disciple of the Xuan Lei Sect. If I achieve success in my Cultivation one day, I will surely ensure the Xuan Lei Sect remains safe and sound!"

"Hehehe! We all believe in you. Although you are called the Killing God in the South Region, you have never failed those who helped you. Therefore, the Xuan Lei Sect will also do its utmost to help you grow!"

Evening

Wu Linglong prepared a table of food and wine in the courtyard. Liu Yuyan brought a sixteen-year-old youth, her son Wu Xishan.

When Wu Xishan saw Jiang Ye return, he said, "Brother-in-law! I've been waiting for you for a long time. You're so impressive now; the entire Profound Realm is talking about you."

Hearing him call him 'Brother-in-law' from the side, Wu Linglong's face instantly turned red. Fearing Jiang Ye might not like it, she quickly said, "Don't address him so casually. Since you want to Cultivate here, call him Senior Brother!"

"Aren't you two together? What's the problem with calling him that?"

Jiang Ye said, "It's no problem. Let's eat! Since this is our first meeting, I'll introduce myself formally. My name is Jiang Ye, and I come from a small Family in the South Region!"

"I'm Wu Xishan. I'll be seventeen soon, four years younger than my sister. Brother-in-law, for you to grow to this level from a small Family is truly something no ordinary person could achieve. You're not even thirty yet, are you?"

Hearing this, Jiang Ye and Wu Linglong were instantly speechless. Wu Linglong said, "He's the same age as me, only twenty-one this year! Which eye are you using to look at people?"

"No way? Only twenty-one? You didn't take a Youth Retaining Pill, did you?"

Jiang Ye said, "Go investigate for yourself. You can clearly find out how old I am and which power I Cultivated in."

The few of them ate together for the first time, and the conversation was very pleasant. Especially for Wu Linglong, tonight was the happiest day since she had known Jiang Ye! This meal was Jiang Ye's initiative, which was equivalent to acknowledging her place in his heart. She had waited a long time for this moment!

The Next Day

The Xuan Lei Sect's Heavenly Thunder Pool successfully fused with the heavenly thunder crystal stone. The thunder induction speed was indeed as expected, more than twice as fast!

However, the Nangong Family members demanded that their people enter the thunder pool to Cultivate first. When Jiang Ye rushed to the thunder pool, he saw both sides in a standoff.

Nangong Mao led dozens of Family members to block the entrance of the Heavenly Thunder Pool, standing in opposition to Lei Ming. The three Old Ancestors and Feng Chang were all resting because they were too exhausted from the past few days. Now, Lei Ming and the Grand Elder were presiding over the Sect's overall situation.

Jiang Ye looked at the Nangong Family members and said coldly, "Don't forget! This is the Xuan Lei Sect. If you want to Cultivate here, you must follow the Xuan Lei Sect's arrangements. Otherwise, get out of the Xuan Lei Sect!"

An Elder of the Nangong Family said, "The heavenly thunder crystal stone was provided by my Nangong Family. It is only right that we enjoy it first!"

Jiang Ye said, "Your heavenly thunder crystal stone was used to trade for your lives. Agreeing to let you Cultivate in the Xuan Lei Sect is already considered an act of mercy! If you continue to stir up trouble, don't blame us for being impolite!"

"So what if you're impolite? You only killed that person who had just entered the Emperor Realm by relying on the strength of other Disciples. Do you really think you're that incredible?"

A Thunder Spear instantly condensed in Jiang Ye's hand, and killing intent filled the air as he said, "Then I won't let you stay! I'll slaughter you all as soon as possible to save the Xuan Lei Sect from unnecessary trouble later!"

"What? You..." The other Nangong Family members were all shocked. They had forgotten that this person even killed people from Forbidden Ground forces; killing their Nangong Family wouldn't even require a second thought.

Nangong Mao knew things were taking a turn for the worse and quickly said, "Wait! My Nangong Family is willing to follow the arrangements of your Xuan Lei Sect."

Jiang Ye stared at them for a while and said, "I'll give you one last chance. You'd better ensure your Nangong Family people are obedient. I will be using this Heavenly Thunder Pool for a period of time. Not just you, but everyone in the Xuan Lei Sect is temporarily forbidden from entering. Until I come out, all of you stay honest. Otherwise, I won't listen to any excuses and will directly exterminate your clan!"

After Jiang Ye finished speaking, he entered the Heavenly Thunder Pool directly and began to absorb the Power of Thunder. He left the Nangong Family members where they stood, each of them filled with fear. This young man truly killed without hesitation and showed no mercy at all.

Three Days Later

People from the Tianxing Sect arrived. Strangely, many Forbidden Ground forces also came along.

All the high-level members of the Xuan Lei Sect were very puzzled. A single Tianxing Sect could already crush them, so why did they need to unite with so many other forces?

At this time, the Sect-Protecting Magic Array had been opened. The three Old Ancestors also came out and were negotiating with the people from the Forbidden Ground forces inside the Magic Array.

Within the Sect, the Nangong Family members were all trembling with nervousness. If they had known this would happen, they should have left the Xuan Lei Sect earlier. With so many Emperor Realm experts outside, they didn't know how many times over the Xuan Lei Sect could be wiped out.

In contrast, the Disciples of the Xuan Lei Sect were all incredibly excited! They all felt that since their Xuan Lei Sect had killed an Emperor Realm expert before, they weren't afraid this time either!

A youth from a Forbidden Ground Family force said, "I am from the Lan Family of the Forbidden Ground. Tell that man named Jiang Ye to come out!"

Ancestor Lei said, "Why have so many of you come here? Is it all to find him?"

"We are not here to destroy your small Sect. Tell Jiang Ye to hand over that black spear, and we will leave this place."

"Hmm?" Everyone in the Xuan Lei Sect was puzzled. Jiang Ye had only used that spear once during the Profound Realm Youth Competition. How did people from Forbidden Ground forces find them so quickly? It must be related to the spear that the Elder from the Shen Xuan Alliance tried to seize back then.

Wu Linglong, who was listening to their conversation from the side, also realized it. It was the Shen Xuan Alliance that had betrayed Jiang Ye. Her jade-like hand clenched into a pink fist, and she hated the people of the Shen Xuan Alliance to the core!

Facing so many Emperor Realm experts, Ancestor Lei still spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, "He is currently in secluded Cultivation. You should come back another time!"

A youth from another force cursed with anger, "Old thing, are we giving you too much face?"

Lei Jun couldn't help but shout back, "You Forbidden Ground dog! If you have the ability, then fucking attack! If not, then crawl back into your mother's womb!"

"Scum!! I'll kill you!" A saber slashed down!

Boom!! "Ah..." This Magic Array actually injured him directly. "You dare to wound me? I'll give you one last chance. Open this Magic Array immediately, or we will surely exterminate your Sect today!!"

Lei Jun laughed loudly, "Hahaha! Dead dog, come in if you have the guts!"

"That's right! Come in if you're brave enough, you Forbidden Ground scraps! Hahaha!!" An Dong also started cursing along with him.

When the Forbidden Ground forces outside heard the two of them cursing so harshly, they couldn't help but strike out, attacking the Magic Array! However, the result was the same as the first person who attacked; they were repelled the moment they touched the Magic Array.

Even Emperor Realm attacks were repelled without exception! At this, the people from the Forbidden Ground forces were very surprised. How could a small Sect in the Profound Realm have such a powerful Magic Array?

An Emperor Realm Elder from the Tianxing Sect said, "You killed an Elder of our Sect. If you hand over this Sect-Protecting Magic Array to my Tianxing Sect, we will let bygones be bygones. If not, we will put forth our full effort to exterminate your Sect!"
