Chapter 1 The Beginning
“Fairy Xu Qing, how is it?”
Wan Liuchuan ignored Wan Hongxin and turned to ask a woman who was crouching.
This woman was dressed in green and had a pretty face. Judging by her appearance, she seemed like a lively and cute woman, but her words were completely contrary to her image.
“What are you rushing me for? If you can do it, you do it. If not, shut up.”
Wan Liuchuan was greatly embarrassed and dared not say another word.
Xu Qing was famously arrogant. Since he was asking for her help now, he naturally wouldn’t dare to retort.
“Hmph, a formation left by an immortal, especially something a little brat like you can break? If you call the masters from your Heavenly Array Pavilion, there might be some hope.
I just don’t know if this Sword Demon can survive until then?”
Jian Xunhuan fully embodied the villain’s tendency to talk too much.
“Hmph, Jian Xunhuan, don’t get cocky. Wan Lei is back. He’s in this secret realm, and Sui Xiao Hang has gone to find him. When he arrives, you won’t even have a chance to escape.”
“Hahahaha, Wan Lei? Where is he? Have him come over then.
I hope to see him even more than you do. I will repay the humiliation from back then a hundredfold!”
Mentioning Wan Lei made Jian Xunhuan grind his teeth in hatred.
Suddenly, a sound of breaking through the air came from the distance.
Jian Xunhuan turned his head and saw a figure in blue armor flying rapidly towards them.
Is this Wan Lei?
Before he could speak, a stream of light struck him like lightning.
“Good timing!”
Jian Xunhuan swung his sword to block, but the stream of light actually broke apart in mid-air, transforming into a formation that enveloped all of them from the Kai Tian Sword Sect.
Well, it seems prayers are answered.
Wan Lei has arrived.
“White-haired Sword Demon, don’t rush, young master is coming to save you!”
Wan Lei landed in front of the formation, followed by a large group of people, a dense throng.
Wan Hongxin stood up. Looking at the figure who pretended not to know him, a hint of excitement flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it. Da Feng Novel Network
“You brat, how can you talk to your dad like that!”
This rascal is getting more and more presumptuous. A few years ago, he wanted to be my dad, and now he wants to be my young master.
Wan Hongxin revealed his relationship with Wan Lei in front of everyone.
He didn’t want to say it before because he wanted to make a name for himself in the Central Region, increase his strength, and have the opportunity to avenge his son if the demons came again. He didn’t want others to say that his father was benefiting from his son’s prestige.
Now that his son was back, he had nothing else to do. It didn’t matter if he said it.
The people around suddenly fell silent.
What?
The White-haired Sword Demon is Wan Lei’s father?
One family, two prodigies?
No wonder Wan Liuchuan, Sui Xiao Hang, and the others had always had a good relationship with the Sword Demon. It turned out they were all family.
Wan Lei retracted his armor and smiled at Wan Hongxin, carefully observing the formation.
“Are you Wan Lei?”
Xu Qing looked up at Wan Lei, her gaze filled with both curiosity and disdain.
“Yes, you must be Xu Qing. Thank you for…”
“Get out of the way. Don’t obstruct me here and affect my breaking of the formation.”
“Heh,”
Wan Lei burst into laughter in anger. Before he could speak, Wan Hongxin said,
“Lei’er, you go aside first and let Fairy Xu Qing break the formation.”
“Heh heh,”
Wan Lei looked at Xu Qing with a cold smile.
“I originally didn’t want to humiliate you too much considering you’re helping my father break the formation. Since you are so arrogant and ungrateful, let this young master show you just how trashy your proud array formation skills truly are.”
“You dare call me trash?!”
Xu Qing suddenly stood up, glaring at Wan Lei.
Those around who hadn’t seen Wan Lei before frowned, thinking Wan Lei was too ungrateful. Xu Qing was kindly helping his father break the formation, and he was still scolding her. Truly ill-bred.
Moreover, he was criticizing her best skill, the way of array formations. If you were capable and your array formations were better than hers, then by all means scold her. But for someone who had never cultivated array formations to say this, it was inappropriate.
“If you’re not trash, then what are you? Such a simple formation, and it hasn’t been broken yet.”
“Heh!”
Xu Qing slammed the tools in her hand onto the ground.
“If you can do it, you do it!”
After saying that, Xu Qing crossed her arms and looked at Wan Lei with a cold smile, waiting for him to make a fool of himself.
You don’t even care about your father’s life, so why should I?
Wan Hongxin remained silent. He understood Wan Lei.
Although Wan Lei was usually glib with his words, he was a very reliable person and wouldn’t do anything he wasn’t confident about.
What’s more, this son of his was skilled at creating miracles.
Wan Lei didn’t say anything and took a step into the formation.
“Lei’er, why are you going in? This formation is dangerous!”
The people around also looked at Wan Lei with surprise, wondering if he had gone mad.
Is he going to commit suicide because he can’t compete?
Or die along with his father?
Wan Lei remained silent. He looked up, activated the formation eye, and his eyes turned into double pupils. In an instant, he saw through the formation’s mystery.
“This formation, it should be said that it can rapidly consume a person’s vitality and lifespan. If you stay in it, you will quickly wither and die.
This formation is an inner formation, and it must be broken from within. If you keep struggling from the outside, you won’t be able to break it even if given three years.”
“Then break it. Why are you talking so much nonsense…”
Xu Qing sneered and was about to mock him further when she suddenly stopped, staring with disbelief.
Under everyone’s gaze, Wan Lei effortlessly unleashed several bolts of lightning. After entering the formation, he raised one hand and clenched it tightly. The formation immediately shrunk.
Then, he took out a formation bead and collected the formation into it.
The entire process took only two to three seconds, done with effortless ease. Not only did he break the formation, but he also gained complete control of it.
“Here, take it.”
Wan Lei tossed the formation bead to Xu Qing, who was greatly shocked and fumbled to catch it.
“Take it back and study it carefully. Don’t be arrogant and think you’re the best in the world every day. This formation is considered your compensation for helping my father, even though you didn’t help at all.”
Xu Qing’s face turned from pale to red, and finally, she let out a cold snort.
“You just got lucky. I won’t concede to you. If I get the chance, I’ll compete with you properly.”
“Anytime.”
Wan Lei waved his hand and looked at Wan Hongxin, saying with a smile,
“Old man, you’re already this old, and you still come to the Central Region to compete for fame with these young folks. Aren’t you ashamed?”
“Hmph, your dad is only fifty or sixty this year. Among the geniuses in the Central Region, I’m considered young. Qian Duoduo, Jian Xunhuan, who among them is much older than me? Why can’t I be considered a young genius?”
This statement greatly surprised Wan Lei. He turned to look at Qian Duoduo.
“You’re almost fifty?”
“Yes.”
Qian Duoduo came over and put his arm around Wan Lei’s shoulder.
“Young Master Lei, I have a good relationship with your father, and I’m also older than you. How about this, from now on, we’ll have separate dealings.
I’ll call you ‘brother,’ and you call me ‘uncle’…”
“Bang!”
“Ah!!!”
