Not only are there various challenges hidden in the unknown journey, but also a beautiful prospect that fills people with hope, waiting for him to open and explore.
The other side at this time.
On the banks of the winding Wanlong River stands the magnificent Dragon God Fortress, towering majestically in the bustling town of Wanlong.
For the local people, Dragon God Fortress held an unparalleled position, much like a local tyrant.
Here, every decision made by Dragon God Fortress carries far greater influence than that of the government, possessing absolute authority.
Chapter 153 Lei Zheng's Shock, Wei Changxuan's Strength!
Inside the Dragon God Castle's main hall, the dim, yellow light, like a thin veil, gently and mysteriously spilled onto the floor, illuminating this solemn and magnificent space.
It was quietly enveloped in a solemn and mysterious atmosphere.
The torches on the wall crackled and popped from time to time, scattering a few sparks that added a few wisps of light and shadow to the somewhat dim space.
A faint scent of sandalwood wafted through the air, lingering and pervasive, lending the entire hall an air of solemnity, as if every inch of air itself spoke of the vicissitudes and weight of time.
Lei Zheng, the lord of Dragon God Fortress, was sitting quietly on a large mahogany chair.
In his hand, he held a large golden sword, its blade long and slender, with several shimmering gems inlaid at the hilt.
It shimmered with a unique luster under the dim yellow light.
His expression was focused and serious, his gaze fixed on the blade as if drawn by a magnet.
His movements were both meticulous and steady; the soft cloth in his hand slid slowly across the blade, each wipe...
The blade became even brighter, its golden surface reflecting several chilling rays of light.
In this slightly dim environment, it stands out conspicuously, as if silently proclaiming its sharpness and majesty.
Not far away, however, a completely different scene unfolded. Gongsun Xiangyang sat leisurely and contentedly.
He sat languidly, holding a steaming cup of fragrant tea in his left hand.
The teacup was made of fine blue and white porcelain, with delicate landscape patterns painted on its surface, which added to its elegance under the rising steam.
He first gently blew away the floating tea leaves, his movements elegant and leisurely, then took a small sip.
A satisfied and contented expression instantly appeared on his face, as if that sip of tea contained the most wonderful taste in the world.
After swallowing the tea, Gongsun Xiangyang slowly turned his head to look at Lei Zheng, who was intently wiping his precious sword. His tone was relaxed, as if he were merely having a casual chat.
"It seems that Lord Lei's cultivation has improved considerably recently! I wonder how many steps he is still away from advancing to the next level?"
Is there anything to look forward to when one reaches the fourth rank?
This seemingly casual question actually contains a hidden meaning.
His words were filled with hidden messages and provocative intent, like an invisible dagger silently stabbing at Lei Zheng.
Despite these clearly provocative words, Lei Zheng was not easily angered.
He was tall and imposing, nearly two meters tall, like a majestic mountain. When he stood up, the entire space seemed to shrink considerably.
His bald head gleamed faintly in the dim light, beneath which were a pair of sharp, eagle-like eyes.
His eyes flashed with a sharp light, as if he could see through all illusions.
His well-defined muscles exude an undeniable sense of power.
Every muscle seemed to contain boundless explosive power.
All of these elements combined create an image of authority without anger.
Faced with such a clearly threatening issue, Lei Zheng chose to handle it quietly.
He glanced at Gongsun Xiangyang out of the corner of his eye, his gaze carrying a hint of disdain and contempt.
They treated him as if he were a clown, paying him little attention.
Instead, he continued his unfinished work, the soft cloth in his hand still moving slowly across the blade.
"Are you worried that I'll become a threat to you after I reach the fourth rank? Or that I'll just chop your head off with one stroke?"
A deep, hoarse voice emanated from the depths of his throat, carrying an undeniable air of authority.
"Stop rambling on and on. If you have something to say, just say it. Otherwise, don't waste your time here!"
Upon hearing this, Gongsun Xiangyang was not angry at all; instead, he sighed softly.
He revealed a somewhat helpless smile, a smile that seemed to conceal some unspoken emotions.
"Sigh, Lord Lei is still as straightforward as ever. Alright, since we're being so frank, I won't beat around the bush anymore."
As he spoke, he picked up the teacup again, took a sip, and gently put it down.
His movements were unhurried, as if he were laying the groundwork for what he was about to say.
Then, Gongsun Xiangyang slowly began to tell the story of Wei Changxuan—how that young man ventured alone into the depths of the ancient tomb.
The story of how they were able to easily eliminate an extremely powerful zombie that had existed for thousands of years.
His voice echoed in the hall, sometimes passionate, sometimes deep, vividly depicting the thrill and wonder of the story.
These words immediately changed the atmosphere in the room.
The once tranquil space seemed to be instantly infused with an invisible force.
After all, for such a young person to be able to defeat a monster of that level...
This is truly unbelievable, and at the same time, it arouses great interest in the young man's strength.
The image that involuntarily flashed through everyone's minds was...
The scene depicts the boy fiercely battling zombies in an ancient tomb.
Chapter 154 Lei Zhengjian and Wei Changxuan!
The resentment in Lei Zheng's heart surged like a raging undercurrent.
The story told by Gongsun Xiangyang was so bizarre and shocking.
Every word was like a heavy hammer, striking his understanding hard.
Those plots about mysterious powers and the defeat of thousand-year-old zombies,
It made him both incredulous and filled him with intense curiosity and a desire to explore.
After a fierce internal struggle, he finally made up his mind.
I must personally go to the Gongsun family to find out the truth behind this.
Under a star-studded night sky, the starlight, like tiny jewels, is scattered across the earth.
Lei Zheng, accompanied by several attendants, embarked on the road to the Gongsun family.
The sound of horses' hooves was exceptionally clear in the quiet night, each hooves seeming to urge them onward.
After several hours of arduous travel, they finally arrived at their destination.
The gate of the Gongsun family slowly opened, the hinges turning with a low creak.
It seems to be telling the story of the years.
Inside, the lights were brilliant, and the warm yellow light illuminated everything around, like a bright world.
They were greeted by Gongsun Xiu, the daughter of Gongsun Xiangyang.
She wore a light pink silk dress, the hem of which swayed gently in the breeze, like a blooming peach blossom.
Beautiful and charming.
Standing beside her was Wei Changxuan, the new legendary figure of the Great Feng Kingdom.
"Senior Lord Lei, you've arrived."
Gongsun Xiu stood at the gate, smiling broadly. His smile was like the warm sun in spring, making people feel warm.
"I have had my servants prepare a feast for you. Please come in."
"Hmph, no need for formalities."
Lei Zheng responded coldly, his tone carrying a hint of boldness and unruliness.
His gaze swept across the surroundings, his eyes revealing scrutiny and vigilance.
The final image focuses on the young man standing calmly beside Gongsun Xiu.
Wei Changxuan was dressed in a plain-colored robe, simple in style yet elegant.
A light blue ribbon was tied around his waist, from which hung a warm, smooth jade pendant.
His figure was tall and slender, like an ancient pine tree, exuding a unique temperament.
"Is this the boy you were talking about who defeated the thousand-year-old zombie?"
Lei Zheng's voice carried a hint of doubt.
It was as if they were questioning whether this seemingly ordinary young man truly possessed such astonishing abilities.
“That’s right.” Gongsun Xiangyang nodded, a proud expression on his face.
Asking for flowers
"This is the new legendary figure of the Great Feng Kingdom—Wei Changxuan, Young Master Wei."
Wei Changxuan nodded gently, his deep eyes calm as still water, as if he could see through all the affairs of the world.
His eyes held a maturity and wisdom beyond his years, making it difficult for people to look him directly in the eye.
Although his figure appeared ordinary, he possessed an undeniable air of authority and composure.
It was as if he had become the center of the world simply by standing there.
"Lord Lei, please take a seat." Wei Changxuan's voice was deep and gentle, like a spring breeze that gently caressed people's hearts.
Hearing Wei Changxuan's words, Lei Zheng couldn't immediately discern Wei Changxuan's true strength.
A sense of doubt and unease welled up in my heart.
He nodded slightly, then followed the others to the banquet.
The banquet was quite lively, with the hall decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.
A variety of delicious dishes were laid out on the table, their aromas irresistible and mouthwatering.
