Tang Ze nodded and clasped his fists respectfully. "Tang Ze has noted it."
"Scram!" Lei Yunhe shouted wrathfully.
Tang Xuan picked up Grandmaster Tang's body and Tang Ze blew a whistle. A horse neighed back, and the four of them brought Grandmaster Tang’s body with them and left from the backyard.
Lei Tianhen was still holding onto Lei Qianhu's body, his tears unstoppable as he punched the ground and wailed, "I can’t accept this!"
"This debt will be paid one day." Lei Yunhe turned around. "Tianhen, and that boy from Wen Clan, quickly give these pills to everyone in Lei Clan Fort. The Snow Moon City people are still outside the gate. I’ll go take a look."
At this moment, Li Hanyi’s eyes flew open.
"You're awake," Lei Hong said happily.
A purple light flashed in Li Hanyi's eyes, and she reached for her two swords.
"Careful!" Xie Xuan exclaimed, pulled Lei Hong’s collar and started to retreat.
But, Li Hanyi swung her twin swords, and immediately forced them back. She stood up, and the beguilingly dangerous aura on her body became stronger and stronger.
"Not good. Her qi deviation is getting worse." Xie Xuan frowned.
"Su! Chang! He!" Li Hanyi gritted her teeth and forced out these three words. Then, she took one leap and jumped over the wall.
"Hanyi!" Lei Hong leaped up and followed her out. Left in the courtyard, Xie Xuan and Lei Yunhe exchanged a glance and immediately followed as well. But the scene right outside the gate was even more surprising. Everyone was lying on the ground on their final breaths, with only two strangers still standing.
One was a big man all in black, holding a titan blade as large as a door.
One was a white-robed monk, young and beautiful. He also appeared to be seriously injured as he used his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.
However, Li Hanyi didn't even look at them, and flashed past everyone.
"Jiejie!" Lei Wujie exclaimed, but Li Hanyi ignored him.
"Shifu!" Lei Wujie was surprised and delighted when he saw Lei Hong, whom he hadn’t seen in a while.
Hearing the voice, Lei Hong turned and saw Lei Wujie who was lying on the ground, unable to move. He paused briefly, "Still alive?"
Lei Wujie nodded. "Hanging in there."
"Then wait for this teacher in Lei Clan Fort!" Lei Hong followed without looking back.
"But…" Lei Wujie's long-awaited reunion for the three of them ended before it even began.
Xie Xuan and Lei Yunhe came to a stop right outside the gate.
Sikong Qianluo recognized Xie Xuan because of her father, and exclaimed with joy, "Uncle Xie! Why are you here too! Quick, quickly help to look at Xiao Se's injuries."
Naturally, Xie Xuan had immediately noticed Xiao Se who had already passed out. He looked at the two figures who were gradually disappearing in the distance, thinking that Lei Hong’s current abilities may not be able to stop Li Hanyi, but he would have no problem protecting her along the way. Finishing that thought, he decided to stop chasing them. Instead, he flashed to Xiao Se's side, intending to check his injuries.
But, the blade which was as big as a door smashed down right on top of him. Xie Xuan hurriedly stepped back and dodged the blade. He was a well-traveled man and immediately knew the identity of the person in front of him. "Are you Ming Hou? Then, this is…"
Wuxin heard the words and lightly interjected, "Ming Hou, stop. Do not be impetuous towards Senior Confucian Sword Immortal." Then he smiled at Xie Xuan. "Greetings, Senior. Except, this one is not Yue Ji."
"Of course you’re not Yue Ji." Xie Xuan appraised him from head to toe. "You strongly resemble your father and your mother. I saw you once when you were a child, Ye Anshi. Why are you here? Did the grievances between Tang Clan and Lei Clan Fort involve not only the Hidden River but even Outerheaven wants to intervene?"
"No, Wuxin came here only to meet three friends." Wuxin pointed to Lei Wujie and Tang Lian on the ground. "Two of them are lying on the ground, unable to get up, and the other one." He pointed at Xiao Se who was unconscious in Ming Hou’s arms. "Looks like he’s about to die."
Xie Xuan came forward and grasped Xiao Se's pulse. His expression clouded over. "He’s indeed about to die."
"Senior, can you cure him?" Wuxin asked.
"Can't be cured, but I can still save his life. However, I will need someone with very powerful internal strength to help me." Xie Xuan withdrew his hand. "It's just that Lei Clan Fort had suffered a calamity. Yunhe-xiong is needed to settle the situation…"
"I can help." Wuxin gathered his long sleeves, walked to Ming Hou's side, and picked up Xiao Se by his waist. "Senior, let's go."
"You?" Xie Xuan appraised Wuxin again carefully, then nodded. "Very well. I didn't expect someone so young to have entered the Unfettered Heavenly Realm already. No wonder you’re Ye Dingzhi’s son."
"This one came under the tutelage of Master Wangyou in Snowy Peak Temple. All of my martial arts were learned from shifu." Wuxin tipped his toes and flashed past Xie Xuan in an instant.
Xie Xuan was stunned. "Divine Step?" He realised that the monk should not be underestimated, and he immediately followed. "Yunhe-xiong, I need to borrow a guest room from your Lei Clan Fort. For the next 24 hours, don’t let anyone step into the room."
"Go ahead." Lei Yunhe looked helplessly at the others lying on the ground. "Leave the rest to me."
Lei Wujie barely managed to support half his body and he asked anxiously, "Shishu, what happened to my sister? Why did shifu and her leave?"
"I just got here too. How would I know all that," Lei Yunhe snapped irritably, then walked to Tang Lian's side and bent down. "Tang Lian."
"Elder." Tang Lian still kept the formal address he used in Snow Moon City. "May I ask what’s going on inside."
"Your Tang Clan people have already left. Although they created a huge ruckus, only two people died out of everyone from Tang Clan and Lei Clan Fort." Lei Yunhe's tone was calm.
"Which two?" Tang Lian asked.
"Lei Clan Fort, Lei Qianhu," Lei Yunhe replied simply.
Tang Lian's heart tightened. He naturally knew who Lei Qianhu was. He didn't expect that because he was a step too late, it led to the death of Lei Clan Fort’s Clan Leader. He couldn’t help but feel guilty.
"Also, Grandmaster Tang from Tang Clan," Lei Yunhe continued.
"What!" Tang Lian was badly shocked. Grandmaster Tang had been in charge of Tang Clan for more than 30 years. His death would shock the martial world even more than Lei Qianhu’s!
Lei Yunhe tapped his fingers on Tang Lian's neck, and Tang Lian fainted immediately.
"Tower Guardian Elder, why did you…" Sikong Qianluo was alarmed.
"Don't worry, I, Lei Yunhe, am not so unreasonable. This debt with Tang Clan cannot be placed on Tang Lian. But based on his personality, he will blame himself for these two debts. Now that he’s seriously injured, he can’t handle so many things weighing on his heart at once. I’m afraid it’ll endanger his life." Lei Yunhe carried Tang Lian in his arm. "The rest of you wait here first, I will bring you in one by one. But there’s something you need to know first."
"What is it?" Sikong Qianluo asked.
"This time, it was the Hidden River who ambushed the Heroes Banquet, trying to kill the heroes of the world. In the midst, some of the members of Lei Clan Fort, Tang Clan, and also Wen Clan, were not poisoned. Finally, Lei Clan Fort’s Lei Qianhu and Tang Clan’s Grandmaster died in battle, but they managed to force the Hidden River to retreat, and together saved the lives of these hundreds of people," Lei Yunhe said with a blank expression.
"Why? It was clearly the Tang Clan who were after you?" Sikong Qianluo didn’t understand.
"Doesn’t make sense, right?" Lei Yunhe smiled bitterly, his tone a little sad. "But, this is the martial world."
