9 Heavenly Thunder Manual Chapter 369-372

Chapter 369 – An Immortal Descends

Lei Yu immediately frowned, "Motherf*cker!"

He caught Zhou Jun Sheng and carefully examined him. Only when he realized Zhou Jun Sheng wasn't dead did Lei Yu sigh in relief. Lei Yu then ran into the crowd and grabbed the person that had struck Zhou Jun Sheng.

This person looked fat and was as big and tall as a horse. He was almost 2 meters tall which meant he was over a head taller than Lei Yu. While standing in front of the guy, Lei Yu truly looked like a small midget.

The guy's muscles were thick and strong, and Lei Yu's hand couldn't even encircle the guy's arm with his hands. One could see that guy frown, "You little pipsqueak dares to act arrogant here? Courting death!"

Lei Yu grabbed him while the guy wanted to exert force to grab Lei Yu back. Was this a joke? Being at the early Boundary Transition stage was similar to being a G.o.d. This burly guy was probably naturally born strong or trained his body to this point by mortal standards. Lei Yu actually felt this was quite funny for the guy to act arrogant in front of him.

Lei Yu was unmoving while the crowd started backing away to create s.p.a.ce for these two people fighting in front of the government building.

The burly guy grabbed nothing but air as Lei Yu slightly s.h.i.+fted. A trace of ruthless light then appeared in Lei Yu's eyes. The burly guy realized his action didn't succeed and proceeded to roar in rage. He then punched out at Lei Yu.

This guy was definitely nothing good if he was helping the Chen family and the government officials. Lei Yu wasn't going to give this guy a good ending. The burly guy's big fist landed squarely on Lei Yu's head and a loud "crack" sound was heard.

"Woa!"

"Oh heavens! He killed someone!" The crowd started crying out in shock.

Everyone knew what the sound was – the sound of breaking bones! The burly guy was filled with happiness as he looked at Lei Yu thinking he had succeeded with the punch.

There was no change in Lei Yu's expression as he slowly raised his left hand and flicked the burly guy's fist away.

"Aggh!" A painful scream was heard. It didn't come from Lei Yu but from the burly guy. The burly guy's fist was still there but… all his bones had already shattered into powder leaving a saggy pouch of meat. It was only now that his nerves sent the message to his brains before he started screaming in agony.

Lei Yu sneered, "Nothing but dog s.h.i.+t!" With a low roar, Lei Yu swept his legs out towards the burly guy's leg since he wasn't planning on killing him. The burly guy stared with big round eyes as the kick shattered his kneecap.

With this sudden change, the crowd could only stare and not dare to make a sound. Those servants of the Chen family who were about to beat Lei Yu up were all dumbfounded, and no longer dared to go near him.

That previous middle-aged man with the arrogant words was now trembling in place. The burly guy being beaten by Lei Yu was now rolling around the ground screaming in pain as if the world had come to an end.

"Too noisy!" Lei Yu's sudden shout rippled out with energy and almost burst the ear drums of everyone present. The burly guy was so scared by the shout that he wetted his pants right then and there. Even though still in pain, he no longer dared to make a single sound.

Lei Yu then walked towards the main entrance where the middle-aged man was. "How are you related to that young n.o.ble Chen?"

"St… steward. This little… little one is the Chen family's steward." That person stammered.

Lei Yu nodded, "Who was it that just said breaking an arm or leg will be rewarded?" Lei Yu raised his arm as he was saying this.

That middle-aged man was originally walking out sideways with the burly guy as if he was invincible. Never could he have imagined that with just two strikes, his strongest hired fighter would become crippled that easily. It was probably from fear but the steward unexpectedly started crying in front of everyone.

Lei Yu blinked a few times, "Stop crying if you don't have money, you almost frightened this daddy! Scram back and get some money for my brother's doctor fees. If you can't manage to bring anything back, this daddy will dismantle your Chen manor!"

Not having strength to stand up, the steward started crawling away before finally climbing on his feet. The servants that came with him also started running away not daring to turn around. The burly guy was still on the ground in silence hoping no one would pay attention to him.

Lei Yu waved his hands, "Everyone else disperse; there's nothing to look at here anymore." Even the words of government officials may not be able to clear this large crowd, but Lei Yu's performance was just too shocking. His words were like a royal decree right now, causing everyone to vacate this place in under a minute. It wasn't an everyday thing where someone would punish those evil officials and the tyrant Chen family, so everyone had their fill and obeyed Lei Yu's words.

A cool breeze blew by the area causing a few yellow leaves to drift by Lei Yu. He then looked over at the Magistrate who was scared out of his wits and said: "Why haven't you invited that young n.o.ble Chen out yet?"

After inhaling a few trembling breaths, the Magistrate crawled out from under the table quickly. "Doing it right now, right now!"

But the problem now was that so called young n.o.ble Chen had already fainted from fear.

Lei Yu started observing Zhou Jun Sheng's injuries and realized it wasn't serious; he had only been knocked unconscious by the burly guy's punch. A purple light buzzing with electricity started sizzling on Lei Yu's palms as he slapped it onto Zhou Jun Sheng's body. One could clearly see that Lei Yu's lightning ability had caused Zhou Jun Sheng to start shaking lightly before waking up from the stimulation.

"Brother, are you okay now?" Lei Yu asked with concern. Lei Yu was very touched by Zhou Jun Sheng's action where he ignored his own safety to help out.

"I'm fine. I just wasn't prepared to defend against it, that's all." After standing back up, Zhou Jun Sheng looked over at the burly guy who happened to have fainted. The burly guy was in extreme pain and Lei Yu didn't allow him to make a noise, so it would actually be strange if he didn't faint.

"It's good that you're okay. Your mother is currently being brought back to brother Liu's home so don't worry" said Lei Yu.

With his strong spiritual perception, Lei Yu was able to easily capture the movements of everyone within a radius of dozens of kilometers away. Not only was he able to feel the subtle energy fluctuations of Liu Da Fu, Lei Yu was able to feel that next door over within a large courtyard was over a hundred people gathered there. There was no need to ask what intentions those people had.

Lei Yu didn't leave and just waited quietly. Zhou Jun Sheng also standing there unsure what was going on but stood by Lei Yu nevertheless.

After ten minutes or so, Zhou Jun Sheng still didn't know what Lei Yu was waiting for and was just about to ask when Lei Yu smiled, "They're here."

Upon looking closer, there were over a hundred people all holding weapons rus.h.i.+ng over with a ferocious look on their faces.

Lei Yu wasn't someone vicious to the point of taking their lives today, so it should be enough to just scare this group of people.

The leader of this newly arrived group was an old man dressed in luxurious clothing and accessories. Flames of anger were burning in his eyes as he cried out to Lei Yu: "You dare to mess with my Chen family? Don't you know that we even have people in the imperial capital? You're courting death! Someone grab him and peel off his skin and tear out his tendons!"

Lei Yu looked on with disapproval while Zhou Jun Sheng started clenching his fists, preparing to fight with his life on the line. This originally had nothing to do with Zhou Jun Sheng and he only attacked due to being loyal towards his sworn brother. In the meantime, Lei Yu was thinking that since he wanted everyone to think he was an Immortal, he might as well demonstrate his G.o.dly powers!

Lei Yu roared out and sound wave he produced stunned the entire group of people. They could only stare but were unable to move their legs! Lei Yu then started rising into the sky and floated there dozens of meters high. One could see a white light flash and a sword appearing in his hand.

Chapter 370 – Punish The Evil

Lei Yu looked towards the Silicon Mountain off into the distance. He had sent out his spiritual perception and made sure there weren't anyone there. He gripped his sword with two hands and hacked down causing a beam of white light to shoot out of the Sky Devouring Sword. Lei Yu didn't use any of his own energy and relied on the sword itself.

Everyone just stared at this crescent white light flying towards the Silicon Mountain. They were trying to follow the trajectory of the white light but it was simply too fast and their eyes couldn't even catch up with it.

After the beam of light shot towards the mountain, there was no sound or movement for over ten seconds. Everyone was wondering what Lei Yu was trying to do when they finally heard a huge "BOOM," and the Silicon Mountain was cut into two!

Silence. Absolute silence! Apart from hearing the avalanche of rocks cras.h.i.+ng down, there was no other sound from the town. Some of the ordinary civilians nearby had witnessed all of this and even forgot to breathe. It was only after a full minute did people started gasping for air and unconsciously swallowing down their saliva a few times.

Lei Yu was currently floating in midair holding onto the Sky Devouring Sword and exuding a domineering aura. He then asked the old man: "Are you still going to capture me now?"

"Ugh… ugh…!" The old man convulsed a few times and fainted while frothing at the mouth.

The weird look of the unconscious old man was similar to the young n.o.ble Chen who fainted at the rear halls. Just when Lei Yu was contemplating something, he heard the cry of that young n.o.ble Chen. It appears that he has woken up but… the cry sounded like it was a cry from a crazy person.

Lei Yu frowned as he shot a beam of purple light into the old man's body. The old man started waking up but his expression was dull and lifeless. What made the surrounding crowd dumbfounded was that the Chen family's master and eldest son had both become insane!

The two of them sat up and were talking to themselves. They then started happily clapping their hands and playing children's games with each other.

Lei Yu was floored by the outcome, "Shocked to the point of becoming insane? At least this makes things a bit easier. Mr. Magistrate, come out and take a look!"

The Magistrate half crawled and half scrambled out of the building. He too became dumbfounded upon seeing what greeted his eyes. Lei Yu then smiled, "Your path to wealth has been cut off, so what do you think you should do now?"

"This little… little one will change! I will never collude with the wealthy to oppress the civilians anymore! Please spare my life Immortal! Please spare my life!"

Lei Yu started smelling some bodily fluids from the Magistrate and started wafting his hand past his nose. "It would be great if you can really do that. If not, I don't think it will be too hard to make your death look accidental."

"I will do it, definitely do it! This little one will do anything!" The Magistrate was nodding his head up and down like a rattle drum.

"Go and seize the Chen manor and evenly distribute all their wealth to the townspeople. If I find out that you've taken any for yourself, be careful of your outcome!" Lei Yu clenched his fists which gave off "pak pak" sounds.

"Understood! Understood! This little one will take care of it right now, right now!" With a shout, the Magistrate brought a group of subordinates with him towards the Chen manor. As for the hundred servants and hire fighters with weapons from the Chen family, they just stood there in place. Out of the hundred plus people, not one of them dared to say a word.

"All of you scatter! If you hired thugs continue to rely on bullying people to make a living, be careful that one day you will end up like that burly guy as well" said Lei Yu as he waved his hand. Fast – that was the only word to describe the crowd of people leaving. It was in a blink of an eye that their weapons were dropped onto the ground before they disappeared in different directions.

This part of the matter had come to an end, but Lei Yu knew that if the Chen family really had some bigwig backer in the imperial capital, this town will definitely encounter trouble once he leaves. Lei Yu made up his mind and started floating up into the air again. He then used a voice where the entire town could hear him.

"Listen up all townspeople: In order for everyone to not suffer in the future, today I have eradicated the tyrannical Chen manor!"

The people nearby knew what had happened but those far away had no clue. Upon seeing how Lei Yu was speaking while floating in the air, everyone immediately became excited.

"Greetings Immortal! Greetings Immortal!" The townspeople started running out from shops and houses. They were all seen kneeling in main streets and alleyways.

Lei Yu didn't like to be involved in such scenes but in order for those imperial capital supporters of the Chen family to not cause trouble here, Lei Yu had to make an exception.

"Everyone listen up: From today onwards, the Chen family and manor will disappear from this world. I hope that everyone will keep this a secret because I don't wish for this to be transmitted out. Does everyone understand me?" Those last four words were heavily emphasized, so who would dare to not obey? The entire town nodded in unison.

"Mr. Magistrate: If I find out that you have devolved this incident to anyone, be careful of your ending!" Lei Yu's gaze landed on the Magistrate that was rus.h.i.+ng towards the Chen manor with his group of constables.

"Ah?!" The Magistrate quickly kneeled down. "Please be rest a.s.sured Lord Immortal, this incident will disappear in the Silicon Town. As for that Chen father and son, they've committed too many atrocities and suffered the heaven's wrath. That's why they've turned out like this."

Lei Yu nodded, "Continue with your work then." After that, Lei Yu once again made his voice heard throughout the town: "The Chen manor's wealth will be equally distributed to all households. Everyone must remember to thank your town's Magistrate for that!"

After saying that, Lei Yu gradually descended to the ground. Upon looking at Zhou Jun Sheng, he looked like he was staring off into s.p.a.ce. It was only after calling out to him a few times before he recovered his senses.

"Brother… wait, no… Lord Immortal!" Zhou Jun Sheng respectfully cupped his fists.

"What's wrong with you? I'm Lei Yu and not some Immortal, okay?"

"Then how could you…"

"Fly? Have such powerful attacking abilities?" asked Lei Yu with a laugh.

Zhou Jun Sheng scratched his head and nodded. "If you weren't an Immortal descending, how could you be so powerful?"

"My master taught me well, very well. Haha!" Lei Yu then smiled and asked: "Do you want to learn it? I can teach you."

"M… me? I can learn it?" Zhou Jun Sheng stared with wide eyes while pointing at his own nose.

Lei Yu nodded, "Of course you can. You have an honest and loyal personality. Once you've gained the ability, you will be able to protect your mother. Wouldn't that be great? Oh right, I have something here for you but you'll have to pay me back with interest in the future."

Lei Yu made a thought and a blue light appeared in front of the two. Zhou Jun Sheng blinked a few times, "What is it?"

"Uh… doesn't this place use crystal stones as a form of currency? This is a blue crystal stone." Lei Yu replied.

Zhou Jun Sheng gasped, "This is a blue crystal stone? No… no way! Impossible!"

Lei Yu faintly smiled as the Sky Devouring Sword appeared in his hand as well. "I've started to gain an understanding of the prices of things here. How about…" After saying that, the Sky Devouring Sword slashed out. The crystal stone that only the Violet Gold Hall members were capable of refining was sliced apart by Lei Yu.

A portion cut off was handed over to Zhou Jun Sheng. "Use this to buy a house but not inside the Silicon town, choose some place bigger."

Two more cuts were made, "This one is for the starting capital of your business and this one is for Liu Da Fu. You two should head out together and not stay here any longer. I'm worried about the turmoil here in the future. If those unknown imperial capital backers came here when I'm not around, I'm afraid you guys will be in deep trouble."

Chapter 371 – Volcanic Eruption

The previous three cuts were only less than a third of the blue crystal stone. Lei Yu pointed to the remaining two-thirds and said: "Hold onto this. Once I teach you the cultivation exercises and skill techniques, this stone will be hugely beneficial to your cultivation progress."

When Zhou Jun Sheng was about to cry in joy, Lei Yu quickly stopped him. "I'm not going to bid Liu Da Fu farewell. This is the hand-written copy of my cultivation method. I believe that as long as you cultivate it to the end, you will become an invincible existence." Lei Yu handed over the first half of the Heavenly Thunder Manual over. "I'm leaving now."

As his voice faded, Lei Yu rose up into the air and flew off into the distance. Zhou Jun Sheng suddenly knelt down. From beginning to end, Lei Yu hadn't given him a chance to say a thing before leaving. At this time, one could see Zhou Jun Sheng burst into tears. There's a saying that for a true blooded man, there will only be two reasons where he was allowed to cry: For one's parents and for brotherhood!

Lei Yu continued flying up higher so that he could reach the clouds and hide from sight.

"What test does the Earth Vein want me to take by bringing me to this world? Why are the people here so weak?" As Lei Yu was muttering to himself, a m.u.f.fled boom echoed in the sky. It wasn't very loud but Lei Yu still heard it very clearly.

Without thinking about it, Lei Yu turned and flew off towards the direction of the sound.

Based on the look of this thing, it had to be a volcano!

"What sort of place is this? Why is there a volcano here?" Lei Yu frowned as he looked below. Coming out of the hole of the volcano was a continuous fountain of molten lava. This was the source of the sound he had heard previously.

"Not good!" Lei Yu had noticed that not too far from the base of the volcano was a small village. The village had a little over ten families and every one of them were quickly running for their lives.

Lei Yu dove down from the sky and landed in a nearby forest before rus.h.i.+ng towards the village.

"Quick! Quick! The lava from the volcano is about to come down! Quickly escape!" An old man with a long white beard was waving for all the villagers to escape as fast as they could.

Lei Yu went up to him, "Old grandpa, how come there's a volcano here?"

"Young man, quickly run away! This volcanic eruption will definitely take some lives with it! You will perish without even leaving bones behind!" The old man didn't bother replying to Lei Yu's question. Seeing that all the villagers had left, he too grabbed a bag and followed behind.

There was no longer anyone visible in the village so it was a.s.sumed that everyone had evacuated. Before the old man started running off as well, he glanced at Lei Yu one more time and cried out: "Young man, don't stay here anymore and quickly run! It's too dangerous here!"

Lei Yu showed a grateful smile and was just about to leave when his spiritual senses trembled. "Not good!"

Ignoring the dangers, Lei Yu ran deep into the village. It was also at this time that a violent "boom" sound was heard and the ground started shaking. The old man was shocked as he watched Lei Yu ran into the village. He wanted to stop him but the volcano had erupted! Lava had started rolling down the volcano side heading straight for the village!

"Sigh! Young man, it's not that I don't want to save you. It's just… sigh! Everyone run! Run to the elevated hill over there!"

Beyond the edge of the village, one could see the villagers had run to higher grounds. Even if the lava flowed across this area, at most it will heat up the surrounding air and not harm the people too much. At this time, a woman of the village suddenly screamed out: "My child! Where's my child?!" It was a heart wrenching scream before the woman fainted.

Another villager stood over her and frantically asked: "What?! What happened to the child?!"

"Chief! I thought that she was holding onto the child while I packed our belongings. I never imagined that I'd meet up with her here and neither of us brought the child! Our child is probably still asleep in the room so what should we do?! What should we do?!" The villager started crying.

The old man suddenly remembered something and turned to stare with wide eyes at the entrance of the house belonging to the two villagers. A human shadow rushed out the house at such high speeds that even the flowing lava wasn't able to catch up with. Lei Yu knew that many pairs of eyes were upon him so he had already slowed down his speed by quite a bit.

The villagers could see him approach at high speeds with a bundle of cloth in his arms. There was even the cry of a baby coming out of the bundle of cloth.

"Li Hua! Li Hua! Wake up, our child has been rescued!"

It's unknown whether she heard her husband's cry or hearing her own baby's cry, but the village woman called Li Hua immediately woke up. Lei Yu had finally arrived in front of everyone before handing the baby over. "It's fortunate that I found the baby in time, otherwise…" Looking back, the lava had already flooded the entire village as black smoke rose into the air from the houses combusting.

A man and a woman kneeled in front of Lei Yu. The woman holding the baby cried out: "Thank you benefactor! Thank you for saving our family's child! Thank you! Thank you!" Lei Yu hurriedly went forward to support them, "Don't worry about it. Just when I was about to leave, I happened to hear the baby's cry and knew the situation wasn't good. It's fortunate I made it in time so everything's okay now; please quickly get up."

The old man stepped forward, "I am the Chief of this village, thank you to this hero for helping us! I was wondering why hero had suddenly rushed into the village, so it was because you heard the baby's cry. You are truly a good person, a good person!"

Lei Yu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. It wasn't because of the heat but because of the extreme enthusiasm of these villagers that made him feel a bit embarra.s.sed.

"Village Chief, why would this village be built below a volcano? Aren't you guys afraid of the eruptions?" Lei Yu asked out of curiosity. At the same time, he released a faint stream of green energy into the surrounding hundred meters. He was afraid the lava would reach their elevated position and was also afraid the high temperature would affect the baby. None of the villagers here were able to see this because the air had already been distorted from the high heat, so no one would bother to pay attention to the changes.

"This was supposed to be an extinct volcano. Many generations of people have lived here all our lives so we never imagined something like this would happen today." The Village Chief replied.

Lei Yu nodded, "So that's why… but do you know what happened that caused the eruption?"

"Who knows…?" The Village Chief shook his head and continued: "This was something that happened very suddenly so none of us were prepared for it. We could only frantically pack some clothes while the rest of our things were destroyed."

"Chief! Chief!" Cried one of the villagers, "A few nights ago, I came out for a leak and heard in the back mountains a strange sound. It happened very quickly and disappeared shortly afterwards so I didn't bother taking it to heart. Do you think this matter is related?"

Hearing the words of the villager, the Village Chief nodded: "It should be the warning signs prior to the volcanic eruption. But there's nothing we can do about it now since none of us knew what the sound was and could predict it was due to a future eruption."

Lei Yu watched the lava destroy everything in the surrounding area. He then took out a crystal stone from his Universal Pouch – a purple crystal stone.

"Here Chief; take this and rebuild your homes."

"A purple crystal stone?! I've heard of it but have never seen one before!" One of the villagers cried out in shock. The Village Chief widened his eyes and said: "No, no! You saved a child from our village already so how can we accept your crystal stone as well? No way!"

Chapter 372 – Ancient Gray Beast

Lei Yu's expression changed as he pretended to be angry: "Chief, just accept it or else I'm going to throw it into the lava!" After saying that, Lei Yu raised his hand as if about to toss the crystal stone. The Village Chief hesitated before nodding: "If that's the case, okay then! This old man will accept it! Thank you!" He continuously bowed a few times causing Lei Yu to feel a bit uncomfortable since he wasn't used to receiving such courteous actions from an elderly person before. Lei Yu had always been like this; when there was someone in need, he will definitely try to help out.

Lei Yu had heard the old man mention they were so frantic that most of them only managed to pack some clothes. Their valuables and other belongings would definitely be burnt or melted at this point. Lei Yu still had quite a bit of crystal stones in his possession so by taking a small portion out, this can be considered doing a good deed.

"Hiss~!" A sound was heard at the mouth of the volcano.

Lei Yu quickly released his spiritual perception since the sound was abnormal. He then quickly looked up and noticed a monster completely in red and spewing out flames. A pair of lantern sized eyes was currently staring at Lei Yu and the crowd of people he was with.

The monster's height was over five meters and his head was similar to a dragon's, except its eyes was a bit more vicious looking than a typical dragon's. Its eyes gave off fiery sparks and its body looked like it was wearing a scale armor for protection. Its four limbs were thick and long and its five-clawed feet looked exceptional sharp. The tail at the rear of its body was like a strange looking stub similar to a rabbit's. Lei Yu couldn't help but start frowning as surprise appeared in his heart. "How could this place have a monster at the early Soul Splitting stage? If I hadn't rushed over here, who knows what would've happened!"

"It's a monster! A monster!" One of the villagers cried out upon seeing the appearance of it. But since they were surrounded by lava, there was no place for them to run away to and chaos descended upon the group.

"Everyone stop panicking!" The Village Chief tried to maintain order. Lei Yu took a few steps towards the edge of the slope where the lava and come up to. Lei Yu didn't seem bothered with it and suddenly raised his head to yell out: "What's your purpose in appearing here?!"

The monster looked at Lei Yu. Hearing that Lei Yu was speaking to it, it sensed that this human was not ordinary. The monster suddenly spoke in the human language: "Slept for a thousand years, now hungry!"

Its words were simple but the meaning behind it was not at all when the villagers heard it. The monster had obviously appeared in search of food, and its target could possibly be the people inside the village! Every one of them was so scared that they started trembling!

Lei Yu lightly frowned. He wasn't afraid of a monster at the early Soul Splitting stage but he still had to find a way to stop it. Even if his abilities surpa.s.sed the monster greatly, he still couldn't guarantee that he could stop this guy if it decided to destroy this place with a large scale attack.

"Don't make me angry and return to your sleep!" Lei Yu coldly replied.

"Angry? What qualifications do you have to dare to speak wildly in front of me, the Ancient Gray Beast?!" The monster loudly asked while being basked in flames.

Lei Yu sneered, "A mere early Soul Splitting little b.a.s.t.a.r.d, obediently return. I'll say it again – don't make me angry!" Lei Yu's eyes glared at the Ancient Gray Beast and his deep profound eyes managed to shock it slightly.

"I refuse to believe it! What capabilities do you have?! Stop trying to trick me!" As those words faded, a burst of flame came roaring out of its mouth. Lei Yu already knew it wanted to test him but he didn't make any moves. Just as the flames was about to reach Lei Yu and the villagers, it abruptly stopped. Lei Yu had already released an energy s.h.i.+eld around everyone so ordinary attacks were completely useless.

The villagers could only look back and forth between the monster and Lei Yu without daring to say a word.

"How was it? You want to try again?" Lei Yu coldly harrumphed and a sword s.h.i.+mmering with white light suddenly appeared in his hands. The sword was unusually eye-catching. Lei Yu glared at the Ancient Gray Beast while he playfully stirred the lava with his sword.

"He dares to use his weapon to stir the lava? It's definitely not simple! Should… should I pull back my att.i.tude?" That so called Ancient Gray Beast was silently contemplating. It had just woken up so its power hadn't been fully recovered yet. Wouldn't it eat a loss if it suddenly encountered an expert? "Endure for now and figure it out in the future!"

The Ancient Gray Beast came to a decision and its voice became milder. Its eyes of anger also decreased a lot as it said: "Apologies for the offense, farewell!" The Ancient Gray Beast turned around and jumped back into the volcano.

The Ancient Gray Beast had left so Lei Yu turned around: "You all have suffered some fright while I too, am still in fear. How about this: I will bring you all to a new place that's at least a bit safer than here. Does anyone have any opinions?" Lei Yu asked.

Previously when the flames of the Ancient Gray Beast arrived, Lei Yu didn't make any moves yet it just miraculously stopped in front of them. The villagers didn't know what was going on but they could easily guess that Lei Yu was not an ordinary person. And upon witnessing a monster that they had never seen in their life before, everyone was completely silent unable to say a word.

Lei Yu's eyes landed on the Village Chief who didn't say anything but nodded. Lei Yu smiled, "Everyone, please close your eyes!"

After hearing that, the villagers just looked at each other before deciding to close their eyes. Right after that, they only felt a slight shaking. By the time they opened their eyes, the environment had changed and they were now in front of a lively marketplace!

The crowd of villagers stared at each other in confusion. "What's going on Chief? Are we dreaming?"

They looked left and right but didn't see a trace of Lei Yu anymore. Little did they know that Lei Yu had already flown up high into the sky and was now flying back to that volcano.

"Could it be the descent of an Immortal? Quick, kneel down and thank the Immortal!"

The strange thing was that no one in the area was curious about the actions of the villagers; everyone just continued on with their business like ordinary. The Village Chief stood up and asked a pa.s.serby: "Excuse me, can you tell me what place this is?"

"Silicon Town…"

———–

"Hey Ancient Gray Beast, come out for a chat!" Lei Yu was standing in the air yelling towards the volcano. After not getting any response for a while, Lei Yu sent out his spiritual perception and gasped: "c.r.a.p, it's not here anymore!"

He then spread out his spiritual perception to a wider scope but still didn't find any traces of the monster. Lei Yu swallowed hard and felt an ominous feeling in his heart.

"What should I do now? Where do I start looking? This is really too troublesome!" Lei Yu stepped off in a rush and started searching the area carefully. He was hoping that by flying around, he would detect some energy fluctuations from the ancient monster.

After a full day of searching, Lei Yu had found nothing. Currently in front of him was a city. According to its size, Lei Yu concluded that the population size was equal to a provincial capital of his world.

After slowly descending onto the ground, Lei Yu started walking. This was a place where no one would recognize him so Lei Yu didn't have to worry. He also had a lot of crystal stones on him so he wasn't worried about anything. What Lei Yu wanted to do was to figure out what place this was and what kind of world it was. Back then, he didn't really have time to inquire about those questions in Silicon Town.

A restaurant that served alcohol was the ideal place to go to because there would be people from all walks of life there. Even if you sat there without talking to anyone, there would still be people chatting around you and revealing the current news.

After finding a relative high grade looking restaurant, Lei Yu sat down at a table on the second floor. Just when he settled himself down, he already heard someone saying: "Did you guys hear? Our city just posted a reward poster!"
