Chapter 26 Reunion After a Long Absence

"After I left, besides my grandfather's rebellion, what else happened?"

"The Duanmu, Qi, and Ba families launched a joint attack on the Wan family."

"Heh, I knew those three families wouldn't be able to restrain themselves. The main attack was on the Wan Southern Prefecture, right?"

"How did you know?"

"After the rebellion, the Wan Southern Prefecture was empty and weak, and you, the Wan family's number one prodigy, were also there. Attacking the Southern Prefecture is not only easier, but it can also eliminate a good seedling like you. If I were them, I would also focus on the Southern Prefecture."

"What you said makes sense. The three families' armies, three Yuanying (Core Formation) experts, and two hundred thousand elite troops, all attacked the Southern Prefecture. That scene was truly spectacular."

"And you won again?"

"Of course. If I had lost, would I still be alive to participate in the Myriad Pride Ranking?"

"How did you win?"

Wan Liuchuan immediately regretted asking the question.

Damn it, he gave him another chance to show off.

Sure enough, Wan Lei's eyes lit up, he sat up straight, took a big gulp of wine, and said,

"If you want to talk about that, I'm all ears! That day, I single-handedly fought against three Yuanying cultivators. This is a long story. You listen to me..."

"Then make it short."

"...Is there something you need?"

"No, I just don't want to see you showing off."

"We brothers are meeting again in a foreign land, a short separation is better than a new marriage. Are you really that unwilling to chat with me?"

Lei Da's aggrieved look was that of a wronged woman.

"Who the hell is having a short separation better than a new marriage with you? Just tell me the general process."

"Oh, I first fought against those three alone. After more than an hour, the clan leader arrived with reinforcements. He's also a Yuanying cultivator. The two of us fought them.

Then my dad broke through to Yuanying. So, it was the three of us against the three of them.

In the end, I killed Ba Xin, killed Duanmu Wenda, and seriously injured Qi Xiaoxiao. That Qi Xiaoxiao is a disciple of the Kaitian Sword Sect, and his life-saving methods are not weak, so he escaped.

Later, Ba Ernu submitted to me, trading conditions for conditions. She's had a hard life.

Oh, I haven't met her here yet. If you meet her, help her out. After all, we came from the same prefecture."

"Alright."

"Ba Ernu told me that the Ba family was in turmoil, so I grabbed the Ba family head, who had just broken through to Yuanying, and forced him to take me to retrieve this supernatural power, and then...

I killed him.

I promised Ba Ernu."

"Heh, she really has deep-seated grievances."

Wan Liuchuan still had some understanding of Ba Ernu.

"After that, the three families all submitted. Now the entire Qishan Prefecture is Wan family territory. Even the governor is polite to me.

Our Wan family... the future will be good."

"You did a good job. I'll remember this favor."

"I did it for the Wan family. It has nothing to do with you."

"Are you planning to compete for first place in this grand competition?"

"Yes, after understanding things these past few days, I have some understanding of the Central Region's prodigies. If nothing unexpected happens, as long as I can defeat Fang Xiaoyu, I can get first place. I have confidence."

"That's great. What kind of person is this Fang Xiaoyu... I see you seem to know her."

"If you want to talk about that, I'm all ears..."

"Then make it short."

"...First of all, let me tell you, what kind of person this Fang Xiaoyu is."

"I'm not interested."

"No, you are interested. This Fang Xiaoyu is the most talented member of the Fang family in history, with an innate wind constitution, and she is extremely diligent and demands a lot of herself.

She is very proud. She hasn't been defeated since birth. Of course, you are also very proud, but your pride is far from hers.

That was two days after I fought with you. I was cultivating in the ancestral hall when she and the Fang family patriarch came..."

"So, that's what led to your final draw with Fang Xiaoyu, which made her hold a grudge against you and provoke you in front of millions of people?"

"She doesn't care what those millions of people think of her, nor does she care what impact it has on me. She just wants to avenge herself."

"Impact on you? True, it made you more famous."

"It's all negative impact. I originally planned to play dumb here, but her disturbance made half of the Central Region regard me as a thorn in their side. Here, probably any Central Region person would want to kill me.

That Protecting-Rain Alliance is like a bunch of lunatics, all seriously ill with the Xiaoyu Syndrome."

"Xiaoyu Syndrome?"

"If you mention that, I'll get excited!"

"You mentioned it. I didn't mention it..."

"Before coming here, I was besieged by twelve people. They were too brutal, too brutal!!!"

Lei Dou'e looked grief-stricken, her grievances pouring out like a continuous river, and began to complain bitterly,

"You don't know how many people in the Central Region are obsessed with this Fang Xiaoyu. She's beautiful, her family is good, her talent is strong, she's invincible among her peers.

She's the pearl of the entire Central Region. In the eyes of those in the Protecting-Rain Alliance, she's sacred, noble, and only worthy of admiration.

And me, a country bumpkin from the Northern Region, did nothing, just drew with her, just because that little girl provoked me a few times,

These people went crazy, insisting that I had desecrated their goddess and wanting to get rid of me as quickly as possible, even violating the rules to have twelve people attack me together.

If I wasn't skilled, had a high cultivation level, unparalleled talent, and was awesome to..."

"Stop, stop, stop, stop bragging. How did you escape?"

"Escape? Who is your Lei Shao? How could I escape? I eliminated them all, okay?"

"Then you are indeed powerful. Now everyone on the battlefield knows that Wan Lei can get the three great patriarchs to change the rules for him."

"It's not that I'm powerful, it's that those twelve people are too shameless, actually ganging up on me.

Let me tell you, Fang Xiaoyu is definitely a demoness. She knows witchcraft, otherwise how could so many young cultivators in the Central Region be obsessed with her?

If you meet her, don't fight her.

Be sure to run,

Run quickly!

Don't be bewitched by her witchcraft."

"It feels like those people have been brainwashed by a cult."

"Isn't it? This cult leader is Fang Xiaoyu. These people are all lunatics, the kind who can die for her.

Really, they're even more extreme and crazy than those Ferryman of Heavenly Tribulation lunatics."

Wan Liuchuan glanced at Wan Lei speechlessly.

Don't you know that the Ferryman of Heavenly Tribulation is sitting next to you?

"Then how were you not bewitched by her witchcraft?"

"Me? Who am I? I am Wan Lei, the one with the most resolute will in the entire Thunder-Wind Realm.

I would jump down from here and die outside, but I would never be obsessed with Fang Xiaoyu, never be captured by her!"

Lei Da said eloquently, patting his chest to guarantee.
