Chapter 184: Descendant of the Thunder God
Hearing that extremely familiar voice, Zheng Bin's smile suddenly froze, and a glimmer flashed in his eyes as he immediately bowed with Bing Yan.
"Disciple pays respects to Yan Zhi Fa."
Sun Zhe was taken aback and quickly turned to look, only to find that the speaker was none other than Yan Ruoyun, the Sixth Enforcer of the Left Hall, with whom he had made an agreement. However, Sun Zhe did not understand why she had just spoken up to intervene.
While Sun Zhe and his companions recognized Yan Ruoyun, Zhao Ang and a few others did not. Takeda and his group were relatively calm; they sensed from Zheng Bin's tone that the newcomer was not ordinary. But Zhao Ang completely overlooked these cues. Upon seeing Yan Ruoyun's perfect figure and stunning beauty, his eyes immediately widened in awe, nearly drooling.
"Hmph!"
A chilling snort made Zhao Ang's heart tremble, causing him to stumble back a few steps, his face flushing red. Yan Ruoyun was a renowned expert from the Thunder Temple; how could Zhao Ang, a mere Thunder Sovereign Level Cultivator, compare? With just one cold snort, Zhao Ang felt his blood boil.
Seeing Zhao Ang injured, Takeda and the others' expressions changed instantly. Sun Zhe's eyes also flashed with anger, clearly feeling that Yan Ruoyun's punishment was somewhat excessive.
However, Yan Ruoyun paid no attention to the anger in Sun Zhe's eyes and directly ignored Takeda and the others' gazes. She coldly glanced at Zhao Ang and said in a chilling voice,
"If there is a next time, you can lie down and leave Linwu City."
Her cold voice sent a shiver down everyone's spine as they realized that this woman was not only stunningly beautiful but also exuded an astonishing Killing Intent. However, Zheng Bin and Bing Yan showed no signs of surprise; they had long known Yan Ruoyun's character. If this Yan Zhi Fa were not so formidable, many would not fear her.
It is rare for a woman to be so assertive, yet Yan Ruoyun had earned that right—not because of her looks but due to her formidable strength. Having become the Sixth Enforcer of the Left Hall at such a young age spoke volumes about her capabilities. If she hadn't wanted to collaborate with Sun Zhe initially, she wouldn't have spoken so kindly; given her usual demeanor towards others, Sun Zhe was likely an exception.
"I'm fine."
Seeing everyone's attitude, Zhao Ang quickly intervened. The earlier lesson had made him realize that this woman was not someone to provoke lightly. He naturally did not want anyone to create further trouble because of him. Turning to Yan Ruoyun with a flattering smile, he said,
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... It's just my nature; I can't help but stare at beautiful things. Please don't hold it against me, Enforcer."
Looking at Zhao Ang's rogue demeanor, everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes. Usually, he was quite principled, but when it came to beautiful women, he was a different story. A significant part of the reason Pang Yiting left was also due to Zhao Ang, though Sun Zhe only learned this later.
After that, Yan Ruoyun couldn't be bothered with Zhao Ang anymore and turned her gaze to Zheng Bin and said lightly,
"Since you are going to participate in the Selection Trial, you should be adjusting your state well in your rooms before the Competition starts. Didn't you receive the notice from the Divine Hall?"
"The disciple knows, but my father asked me to pay attention to the situation in the West Hall before he left, so I came here with Ice Junior to take a look," Zheng Bin quickly explained.
"Hmph, are you using your father to threaten me?"
Yan Ruoyun's voice suddenly turned cold, and her gaze towards Zheng Bin flashed with a hint of frost.
"The disciple wouldn't dare." Under Yan Ruoyun's stare, Zheng Bin felt a jolt in his heart and immediately replied.
In front of this woman, he didn't dare to act arrogantly. Although he was ranked eighth on this year's Star Ranking List, this woman was ranked Five Stars on the previous list, and her current cultivation level was unknown. In terms of status, while his father was the Hall Master of the West Hall, this woman's background was even more profound.
Within Thunder Temple, although he was considered part of the prince faction, he still fell short compared to Yan Ruoyun.
"That's good to know. Prepare well during this time. You can leave now; I'll handle these people," Yan Ruoyun said as she glanced at Zheng Bin and his companion.
"Yes." As soon as she finished speaking, Zheng Bin left with Bing Yan. Watching their departing figures, Sun Zhe's gaze flickered slightly as if he had begun to understand something.
"Let's go; I'll take you directly to register in the back yard."
With that said, Yan Ruoyun didn't waste another word and walked ahead. Zhao Ang and the others immediately showed expressions of joy; they all thought Yan Ruoyun was taking them to register because of Zheng Bin's influence, unaware that Sun Zhe had already reached an agreement with Yan Ruoyun.
There were many participants in the Selection Trial, with varying statuses. Although Thunder Temple treated everyone equally on the surface, it couldn't allow core disciples from high-level sects to queue with loose cultivators without affiliations. Such a situation would likely not be accepted by those sects. Therefore, an additional registration desk was set up in the back yard of the West Hall for these individuals.
Under the leadership of Yan Ruoyun, Sun Zhe and his group took a long detour and arrived directly at the backyard of the West Hall. At this moment, Sun Zhe noticed that there were a dozen people scattered in the backyard registering, and all of them were individuals of some status.
Just as they were about to step into the courtyard, three or four people walked out from within. The leader was an extremely eye-catching man, standing over eight feet tall, with strikingly handsome features, short purple hair, and wearing an extravagant purple brocade robe. He moved with a commanding presence, exuding an air of nobility with every gesture.
Yes, it was indeed an air of nobility. This was the first time Sun Zhe had encountered someone like him, as if he were born into royal lineage, evoking a sense of humility in those around him.
"Are you Sun Zhe?"
Just as he was about to step forward, his right foot hesitated and retreated. His gaze fixed on Sun Zhe behind Yan Ruoyun. Upon hearing his words, the people behind him turned their attention to Sun Zhe, their expressions tinged with hostility.
"Are you a disciple of the Golden Thunder Sect?"
Seeing their attire, Sun Zhe's expression tightened. Even Shen Yan and the others became tense. They were well aware of the conflict between Sun Zhe and the Golden Thunder Sect. Although they did not know why the sect had withdrawn its assassination order, the enmity between them had long been established and would not be easily resolved.
"Thunder Lord early stage... not bad, not bad. I hope to meet you at the Selection Trial; don't let me down."
This man could see through Sun Zhe's cultivation level at a glance. To Sun Zhe's surprise, he merely left those words before taking his companions away without any intention of engaging in conflict. Throughout the encounter, Sun Zhe sensed no killing intent or disdain from the Purple-Haired Man; it was as if Sun Zhe were an unrelated person to him.
"Do you have a grudge against him?"
Watching the departure of the Purple-Haired Man and his companions, the usually proud Yan Ruoyun displayed a rare serious expression. Such a look had never been seen even when facing Zheng Bin, ranked eighth on the Star Ranking List.
"I suppose so. I once had some grievances with the Golden Thunder Sect. Who is he?" Seeing Yan Ruoyun's serious demeanor made Sun Zhe curious about the identity of this Purple-Haired Man.
"He is Thunder Abyss, the next sect master of the Golden Thunder Sect and currently ranked third on the Star Ranking List."
"He's Thunder Abyss?" While Yan Ruoyun remained composed, Zhao Ang exclaimed in surprise, his eyes flashing with fear.
Looking at the puzzled expressions of the crowd, he let out a long breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and slowly began to explain, though his voice completely lacked the usual playful tone.
"This Thunder Abyss was reportedly brought back by the Grand Elder of the Golden Thunder Sect from outside. After bringing him back, the Grand Elder took him as a disciple. At just eight years old, he was directly designated as the heir to be the next Sect Leader. What is even more astonishing is that none of the elders or the current Sect Leader of the Golden Thunder Sect opposed this decision."
"Becoming the heir to the Sect Leader at eight years old is too ridiculous. Even if he is exceptionally talented, what if he becomes complacent in the future?" Shen Yan interjected disapprovingly. It should be noted that becoming a Sect Leader in those major sects is not something that can be easily attained.
"If he were merely talented, it wouldn't be such a big deal. However, his talent can no longer be described as merely astonishing; it is already considered Monster. It is said that he is a descendant of the Ancient Thunder God, possessing the bloodline of the Ancient Thunder God. He is a natural thunder cultivator and can master all Thunder System Techniques in an extremely short time. His speed in cultivating Thunder Power has reached an astonishing level. If it weren't for the obstacles of his realm, he would probably have already reached an unimaginable level of cultivation by now. Even so, he is almost invincible among those of the same rank."
"This child is indeed remarkable. A talent like Thunder Abyss is truly exceptional. Even if he has no intention of cultivating, his cultivation can still grow with the awakening of his bloodline. If he ever fully awakens his bloodline, he could even become a divine being."
Yan Ruoyun sighed softly. This year's Star Ranking List seems to be even more competitive than last year's. Many Monster-like figures have emerged, and thinking about the top two figures on this year's Star Ranking List, this thought became even more pronounced.
"Divine beings? Are there really divine beings in this world?" A hint of shock flashed in Sun Zhe's eyes as he muttered to himself.
"Perhaps, but for us, that still feels too far away..."
A trace of confusion welled up in her eyes, and as if murmuring to herself, Yan Ruoyun stepped into the courtyard.
