Chapter 1 Wan Hongxin

Since Wan Hongxin arrived here, he hadn't seen Wan Lei anywhere. The lightning mechanisms in the entrance hall had caused everyone to become separated.

In desperation, Wan Hongxin led a few members of the Wan clan into a karst cave. They encountered many mechanisms and demonic beasts along the way, but they couldn't find Wan Lei.

With no other choice, he could only lead those Wan clan disciples in a blind search for the Lightning Refinement Pool. Now that he was here, he happened to run into Wan Lei.

Unfortunately, he didn't recognize Wan Lei.

"Isn't that Duanmu He? How did he become so disheveled? Who are these people? They're actually being chased by Duanmu He. How pitiful. Those few aren't Duanmu He's match."

A Wan family disciple said in a low voice.

"Yeah, but these few are brave enough to actually provoke Duanmu He and make him look like that. It's really satisfying!"

Another Wan clan disciple said gleefully.

The Wan and Duanmu clans were at odds, and they were happy to see Duanmu He suffer.

Wan Hongxin was also very puzzled, but he didn't plan to meddle in other people's business. After all, what did their fight have to do with him?

"Little friend, that's Wan Hongxin from the Wan family ahead. Let's flee towards him. Maybe he can stop Duanmu He."

Tian Suanzi suggested.

It was exactly what Wan Lei wanted.

"Okay."

Wan Lei nodded in agreement and rushed towards Wan Hongxin's direction.

Duanmu He also saw Wan Hongxin in the distance ahead and became anxious. He had always been at odds with Wan Hongxin. If Wan Hongxin helped those little thieves, he wouldn't be able to beat him.

"Brother Wan, I hope you won't interfere in this matter. I, Duanmu He, will remember this favor."

Seeing this, Wan Hongxin moved to the side, making way, but his posture clearly showed that he had no intention of interfering.

Anyway, he didn't recognize the people being chased. As long as he didn't get involved, he could gain Duanmu He's favor. Why wouldn't he?

This scene made Tian Suanzi anxious, but there was nothing he could do. After all, his reputation wasn't as great as Duanmu He's, and he couldn't ask Wan Hongxin to help them.

The four of Wan Lei were getting closer and closer to Wan Hongxin, and Wan Hongxin was also scanning them. Suddenly, Wan Hongxin's gaze stopped on Qi Manyao.

This girl looks familiar. That's right, she's the Heaven's Condemned One, and she has some affection for Lei'er. Last time, I even said that Lei'er should take her in.

Who are the three people beside her? Could it be that she has a Dao companion? This isn't good news. There are so many girls in Nanfu City, but she's the only one I can stand. What will Lei'er do if she has a Dao companion?

Should I secretly follow them and ask Duanmu He to spare this girl's life? As for the others… well, just kill them.

Wan Hongxin's mind was racing, and a wicked smile appeared on his lips. In a short moment, he came up with a somewhat incomplete plan.

His eyes then looked at the other three. When he saw the black hammer in Wan Lei's hand, his heart skipped a beat, his smile instantly froze, and he suddenly looked up at Wan Lei's face.

Although he didn't recognize the face, he was very familiar with the winking eyes that kept gesturing at him.

Could it really be Lei'er? He disguised himself and is asking me for help?!

With this thought, Wan Hongxin immediately took out his sword, ready to attack Duanmu He at any moment.

Seeing this, Wan Lei smiled slightly, nodded slightly towards Wan Hongxin, then bypassed Wan Hongxin and rushed forward without looking back.

It really is Lei'er. The person next to him in the early Qi training stage should be Sui Xiaohang. Didn't the two of them leave together? How did two more people join them? One of them is even that Heaven's Condemned girl?

Wan Hongxin was puzzled, but when he saw Wan Lei holding Qi Manyao's little hand, he couldn't help but reveal a gratified smile like an old father.

Well, my son has grown up and knows how to find a wife on his own. I, as a father, don't have to worry about it. This little girl is also quite good. She seems to care about Lei'er a lot.

Go ahead, son. Your father will stop Duanmu He for you.

Wan Hongxin picked up his sword, took a few steps forward, blocked the middle of the cave passage, and looked at Duanmu He with a cold smile.

Seeing this, Duanmu He became anxious, frowned, and said to Wan Hongxin, "Brother Wan, why are you stopping me? Didn't I say just now? If you don't interfere, I'll remember your favor."

"Are you teaching me what to do? If you tell me not to interfere, I won't interfere? Who do you think you are? Is your face, Duanmu He, that valuable?"

Wan Hongxin had a wicked smile on his lips and spoke with a rascal-like air.

Seeing this, Duanmu He looked at Wan Hongxin as if he were an alien.

In his impression, Wan Hongxin was an upright and righteous person. How could this Wan Hongxin speak so cocky?

Duanmu He's face instantly darkened. "Brother Wan, those four are the murderers who killed my son Ao'er. Are you blocking me because you know those people?"

Wan Hongxin laughed directly when he heard this. "Duanmu Ao is dead? That's a good thing too. A grown man who dresses up like a flower every day and calls himself suave.

He has disgraced your Duanmu family. I advise you to take this opportunity to change the number one genius, so that others won't say that the men of your Duanmu family are all effeminate."

Duanmu He was furious when he heard this. It's not up to you, Wan Hongxin, to tell my Duanmu family what to do.

"Brother Wan has been stopping me all along. Are you trying to protect those murderers? Or are those people from your Wan family, secretly ambushing the Duanmu family?!"

"Those people? I don't know them. But since they killed someone from your Duanmu family, they must be good people.

I, Wan Hongxin, have been a chivalrous person all my life and can't bear to see good people in trouble. Brother Duanmu, didn't you want to spar with me when we were outside? We happened to meet today, so let's do it."

Wan Hongxin's words made Duanmu He almost vomit blood. What do you mean that anyone who kills someone from my Duanmu family is a good person? And you, Wan Hongxin, are a chivalrous person. Why don't you go after the murderers?

"I... this old man has never seen such a shameless person!"

Duanmu He cursed angrily, his beard trembling.

"Come on, Brother Duanmu, how old are you? Why are you calling yourself this old man? Look at your appearance... Oh, why is your appearance so disheveled?

Oh dear, look at your scorched hair, look at your scattered beard, look at your torn clothes, revealing so much skin. Brother Duanmu has a really good figure.

Could it be that you were beaten into this state by those Foundation Establishment juniors? What happened? Brother Duanmu is also a Core Formation expert. Those Foundation Establishment juniors are too disrespectful to the old and loving to the young. How could they beat Brother Duanmu like this?"

Wan Hongxin's words made the Wan family disciples laugh so hard that they couldn't stand up straight.

Duanmu He, on the other hand, was so angry that he lost all reason.
