“……” Everyone.
“What do you mean by that, fellow daoist?”
Dao Xuan Zhenren’s face was gloomy, and he stared at Wan Lei with unkind eyes.
“You robbed me.”
Heaven and earth bear witness, Dao Xuan’s fee had been like this for over a thousand years, fair and square.
After all, traveling from Lan Ning Country to the Central Domain via teleportation array cost fifty thousand spirit stones, and this was in the vastness of space.
This fee was truly not expensive.
“My fees have always been this way!”
“You robbed me!”
“I did not!”
“You robbed me!”
“…Then name your price, old man, I’ll give you a discount!”
“I have no money.”
“…Are you the one who’s here to rob me?!”
“I’m not robbing, I’m a good person.”
Seeing Young Master Lei’s shameless demeanor, Fang Xiaoyu behind him couldn’t stop laughing, her back bent.
How could this guy be so shameless with everyone?
Dao Xuan Zhenren remained silent for a long time, then, gathering his Qi, he let out a single, booming word,
“Scram!”
“Oh ho, you’re cursing me now?”
“Curses are just the beginning, I’ll kill you too. If you dare provoke me like this and you don’t die, what face will I, Dao Xuan, have to mix in Kun Du Star!”
After speaking, Dao Xuan Zhenren drew his treasured sword and thrust it towards Wan Lei.
However, before he could reach Wan Lei, an array descended from above, trapping him within.
“Kid, if you have the guts, fight me with real swords and guns!”
Dao Xuan Zhenren furiously attacked the array.
Wan Lei calmly stabilized the array and then deployed five more.
After all, he wasn’t a Mahayana realm Thunder Beast, so there was no need to use twenty arrays.
Everyone around was stunned. What kind of person was this? How could he be so fierce?
Not a single person present could match him, and even the formidable Dao Xuan Zhenren was suppressed with a backhand move.
Next, Young Master Lei did something that made everyone’s jaws drop.
He picked up the dozen or so storage bags from under the table.
This was the collected fees from those cultivators, amounting to over a million spirit stones.
“I believe the rumors now.”
The smile in Fang Xiaoyu’s eyes had not yet faded.
“What rumors?”
“It is rumored that when you were in the Wan family, you were a wicked and tyrannical scoundrel who bullied both men and women and committed all sorts of evil. I didn’t quite believe it before, but now it seems the evidence is conclusive.”
“I don’t want to be like this either, but who told him to rob me?”
While shouting that he was being robbed, Young Master Lei proceeded to loot over a million spirit stones.
On this day, Big Scoundrel Lei accomplished several things.
First, he killed several “good people” who kindly guided him and provided information.
He robbed their storage bags,
Then he trapped the owner of the teleportation array,
Not only did he take no money,
He also plundered the fees for this teleportation,
And soon, he would be using their teleportation array for free.
Yes, it was truly a full and happy day.
Wan Lei felt no discomfort about what he had done today.
He was no longer the saintly Thunder God of the past; he acted purely on impulse, with his own happiness taking precedence.
In the cultivation world, there was no reason to speak of, only power.
If anyone didn’t believe it, they could go reason with the Nine Great Powers.
“A scoundrel like you, in the Central Domain, would be pursued to death by the Heavenly Punishers.”
“I am already a target of the Heavenly Punishers.”
“Then why are you still alive?”
“The Heavenly Punishers have only sent two people to hunt me: Qi Manyao and Wan Liuchuan.”
“Pfft…”
“Both of them have been won over by me.”
“Someone like you, in the past, I would have definitely eliminated for the good of the people.”
“You already did that for the good of the people.”
“How so?”
“You took me in. By not letting me harm other young girls, you’re making me harm only you.”
“Bah, bah, bah, who’s taking you in? You robbed me, you’re a scoundrel!”
“That’s right, now I’m going to do what a scoundrel should do.”
After speaking, he scooped up Fang Xiaoyu and flew towards the teleportation array.
Wan Lei was too familiar with arrays; this one was already calibrated for the destination, making it incredibly simple for him.
After activating the teleportation array, Big Scoundrel Lei, carrying his “robbed” wife, stepped into it.
The dozen or so cultivators behind them glanced around. Seeing that Dao Xuan was still sealed within the grand array, they all felt relieved and followed Wan Lei into the teleportation array.
Central Domain, northeastern part, outside the capital of Feng Lan Country.
There were more than a dozen teleportation arrays.
In any country, teleportation arrays were generally located outside the capital cities.
After all, although teleportation arrays were controlled, who knew if other countries might use them for a surprise attack.
However, among the Nine Great Powers, teleportation arrays were usually located within their clan or sect premises. This was because if someone wanted to use them for a sneak attack, they would be more than welcome, allowing them to catch the enemy in a pincer movement.
A teleportation array suddenly lit up, and over a dozen figures appeared, startling those outside who were about to enter the array.
“Who is this? So unethical? They activated a one-way teleportation in advance, don’t they know that an incorrect teleportation time can lead to terrifying spatial turbulence?”
“Where did you come from? Are you looking for death?”
“We must report this to the State Lord immediately.”
The people outside immediately began to curse. They were supposed to be the next ones to teleport out, but someone had gone ahead. If they were any later, they would face grave danger.
The figures gradually materialized, and more than ten people walked out of the teleportation array.
“Wife, do you know where the Wood Immortal Secret Realm is?”
“I think it’s to the east. I saw it on a map before.”
“Alright, let’s go.”
The two spread their wings and flew east without looking back.
“Hey, stop! Are you the leaders? Where are you from?”
Those people shouted and cursed, but alas, before they could even get a clear look at the young couple’s faces, they had already vanished.
The dozen or so cultivators who had come from Kun Du Star looked around. Seeing the unfriendly gazes of those nearby, they stopped standing around like fools and quickly flew east.
“Wife, put on your armor.”
Midway, Wan Lei suddenly said.
“Why?”
“Better safe than sorry, right? We have so many enemies in the Central Domain. What if someone sees us and kills us? You know, with the secret realm opening, all the major powers will definitely send people.”
Young Master Lei said with mock seriousness.
Fang Xiaoyu gave him a strange look.
“When did I gain any enemies in the Central Domain? It’s you who has made many enemies. After all, hundreds of thousands of people from the Rain Protection Alliance want to tear you apart. Don’t forget, you stole their goddess.”
Seeing Fang Xiaoyu’s smug expression, Young Master Lei almost patted his chest and boasted, “Let them come, whoever flinches is a grandson.”
But thinking of his "grand plan," he held back.
“Hurry up and put it on, don’t let anyone recognize you. After all, you’ve been missing for five years, and to suddenly return, what if you scare them?”
