Bagua Thunder Seal!
These five words echoed in Ye Tian's mind like a Thunderous Sound. This was the only known Earth-Level Martial Arts in Spirit Martial Town, and it was also the Clan Treasure of the Cold Family!
“Grandpa Leng, you’re not joking with me, are you?” After a moment of reflection, Ye Tian chuckled, “As far as I know, the Bagua Thunder Seal is available at the Hidden Martial Pavilion!”
“Hahaha, ignorant brat!” Leng Wanli laughed disdainfully and said, “Available openly? If enemies invade, wouldn’t this town's martial arts be handed over easily?”
“Are you saying that what is guarded by Uncle Leng in the Hidden Martial Pavilion is actually a fake?!” Ye Tianjing asked.
“Exactly! Even without external enemies, internal threats are hard to guard against. This Mysterious is just for them to see; learn more from me!” Leng Wanli proudly stroked his long beard, then casually tossed the Classic Text next to Ye Tian, saying, “Kid, from today on, this is your responsibility!”
“Grandpa Leng, you’re giving me the Bagua Thunder Seal!?” Ye Tian asked incredulously.
The old man beamed with joy and nodded, saying, “Of course!”
“This is your Cold Family's highest martial art...” Ye Tian still found it hard to believe that this secret martial art was being entrusted to him by Leng Wanli.
“What do you mean your Cold Family?” Leng Wanli said with displeasure. “It’s our Cold Family!”
Nodding vigorously, Ye Tianxin felt deeply moved. Since he entered the Cold Family, everyone from the current Leng Wanli to the late Leng Ping treated him like family. Although he didn’t express it, he was genuinely touched.
“Grandpa Leng, wait! I want to show you something!” With slightly reddened eyes, Ye Tian turned and ran toward his residence.
“Hey! Kid, what are you doing?” Leng Wanli shouted.
Turning back, Ye Tian gave the old man a mysterious smile and said, “Grandpa Leng, just wait a moment; I’ll definitely bring you a big surprise when I return!”
"Hahaha!" Leng Wanli laughed heartily and said, "I'm not waiting here for you. I'm going back to sleep. Here, take this!"
After saying that, the old man flicked his wrist, and another small black booklet was thrown towards Ye Tian.
Ye Tian was taken aback and reached out to catch it, asking in confusion, "What is this?"
"Hehe, I've been cultivating the Bagua Thunder Seal for decades. Do you think I wouldn't have some insights?" Leng Wanli said proudly, continuing, "Refer to this booklet for your cultivation of the Bagua Thunder Seal. It will ensure your rapid progress!"
Regarding Leng Wanli's generous act of sharing his knowledge, Ye Tian felt that no words could express his gratitude. He could only nod appreciatively before turning to leave.
"Grandpa Leng, please don't sleep. Wait for me for a moment!"
Watching the departing figure of the young man, a hint of comfort appeared in the depths of the old man's eyes.
...
Bang!
Suddenly pushing open the door, Ye Tian quickly walked to the bed. After bowing briefly, he rummaged around for a moment and then took out the Heavenly Fire Heart Furnace.
"Grandpa Leng..." The image of that bold yet approachable face floated in his mind. Ye Tian called out softly and then placed the Azure Royal Heaven Vine into the furnace.
Zizz...
As the spiritual herb entered the furnace, a faint sizzling sound suddenly emerged from the Heavenly Fire Heart Furnace. Ye Tian smiled with satisfaction; he knew this meant that the Heavenly Fire Heart Furnace was automatically removing impurities from the Azure Royal Heaven Vine.
Blue smoke curled up gently, and a fragrant aroma filled the air.
Ye Tian stared at the radiant Dan Furnace, his anticipation growing stronger.
"According to the Spiritual Treasure Compendium, the Azure Royal Heaven Vine alone has remarkable effects in restoring vitality. Now, after being refined by the Heavenly Fire Heart Furnace, ha ha, Grandpa Leng, you will undoubtedly return to your peak!"
In his joyful excitement, he didn't notice that as the light gradually faded and the smoke dissipated, the Dan Pill was already completed.
Ye Tian excitedly poured the Dan Pill into his palm, and he saw that this Spiritual Pill emitted a dazzling brilliance like a precious pearl. The surface of the pill was as delicate as jade, and its fragrance was refreshing.
Nodding in great satisfaction, Ye Tian hurriedly put away the Heavenly Fire Heart Furnace and then eagerly headed towards the Pavilion.
The place where he lived was not too close to the Pavilion; he had to navigate through several corridors and small gardens to reach it.
Along the way, Ye Tian was filled with joy, thinking about how happy and excited he would be when Leng Wanli regained his strength. However, he was completely unaware of some unusual occurrences around him.
Normally, there would be several guards stationed at every hidden corner and turn, but now it was completely empty.
With quick footsteps, Ye Tian remained immersed in his joyful mood, oblivious to everything.
At this moment, night fell, and heavy dark clouds had enveloped the sky without him noticing. It felt oppressive and made him uneasy.
Furrowing his brow, Ye Tian suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of unease rising in his heart.
After walking for a while, the outline of the Pavilion finally appeared before him. However, instead of the usual tranquility, there were now noisy voices coming from that place.
A sense of foreboding surged within him, and Ye Tian quickened his footsteps even more.
Turning a corner of a corridor, he saw ahead that dozens of people were gathered around the Pavilion. There were at least forty or fifty individuals; it seemed that all the guards in the estate had congregated here for some unknown reason.
Footsteps paused slightly, and at this moment, Ye Tian finally saw clearly that there were more than ten rafts on the Lake Surface, rapidly approaching the Pavilion.
On those rafts, there were quite a number of people; a rough glance revealed that there were at least a hundred of them.
“Uncle Leng...” Although there was something unusual in his heart, he did not suspect too much, thinking that this estate was the secret location of the Cold Family.
As the rafts gradually drew closer, the appearance and clothing of the people on them became increasingly clear.
He saw that all the people on the rafts were dressed in black, with a Golden Thread belt wrapped around their waists, each one displaying a fierce expression, clearly not here for friendly purposes.
“Hand over Ye Tian, and spare your lives!”
A voice filled with arrogance suddenly rang out. Ye Tian focused his gaze and saw that standing at the front of the leading raft was a Short and Stout Figure.
“Wu Xiaozhuang!” Ye Tian exclaimed; he was all too familiar with that Short and Stout Figure. Who else could it be but Wu Xiaozhuang?
“This is bad! The Cold Family is in trouble!” This thought suddenly arose in Ye Tian's mind, and almost instinctively, he activated the Yuqi Tayan Jue, his figure darting ten zhang forward as he rushed toward the Pavilion.
“How dare you, little brat, act wild before me!” Leng Wanli shouted at the Short and Stout Figure, waving his hand. The guards on the Pavilion drew their bows and aimed arrows at the rafts.
“Haha, Leng Wanli, I didn't expect this old fool to still be clinging to life!” Wu Xiaozhuang naturally recognized this legendary figure, but he also knew that Leng Wanli could no longer channel his elemental energy.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang...
The arrows were deflected by the blades wielded by those on the rafts, and the sound of metal clashing echoed in what should have been a calm night, creating a jarring contrast.
Whoosh!
"I didn't expect to gain something unexpected!" Wu Xiaozhuang chuckled darkly, thinking to himself. At the same time, he surged with energy, a powerful gust of wind instantly blowing away several incoming arrows.
"All guards, listen up! Swear to protect the estate with our lives!" Leng Wanli's expression was grave as he shouted against the numerous and aggressive enemies.
"We swear to live and die with the estate!" The Cold Family Guardians, inspired by the elder, were equally stirred up, shouting in unison.
Though outnumbered, in the face of impending disaster, everyone erupted with a spirit of determination.
"Then I will grant your wish!" Wu Xiaozhuang coldly replied, then pushed off with his toes, leaping into the air. After a few flips, he appeared atop the Pavilion.
Seeing this, several guards swiftly drew their swords and charged at Wu Xiaozhuang.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly as a chilling light flickered in Wu Xiaozhuang's eyes. He shouted loudly, and his strange Seal Technique transformed. In an instant, a Black Disc appeared before him, pulsating with energy, and a blood-red monstrous eye opened wide.
Boom!
A terrifying force erupted from the monstrous eye, shooting forth a massive dark red beam of light that struck like a meteor!
"Ahhh!"
Continuous screams echoed as many Cold Family guards were caught off guard and turned to dust by the beam.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye, leaving Ye Tian no chance to intervene. He could only watch as the enormous beam slowly moved across the limited space of the Pavilion like a sweeping force.
"Grandpa Leng, get out of the way!" Ye Tian finally arrived at the Pavilion and pushed Leng Wanli aside just in time to avoid being hit by the beam.
"Ye Tian!" Wu Xiaozhuang's eyes gleamed with madness upon seeing Ye Tian. His lips curled into a sinister smile as he said, "Hehe, did you think hiding here would keep you safe? Let me tell you, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I, Wu Xiaozhuang, will find you and tear you apart!"
"Wu Xiaozhuang, have you finally dared to show your true colors?" Ye Tian coldly mocked in response to Wu Xiaozhuang's arrogance.
A hint of malice surged on Wu Xiaozhuang's face. In his eyes, Ye Tian was like a useless person; today, he would not escape from his grasp. He impatiently said, "Enough with the nonsense! Today is your day to die!"
"Kid! You should leave quickly; I will hold them off!" Leng Wanli's expression was grave as he stepped forward, his eyes filled with a determination to face death.
"Grandpa Leng, you go first and find a safe place to take this!" Ye Tian hurriedly stopped the determined Leng Wanli and pressed the Purple Dew Yellow Heaven Pill into his hand.
With a puzzled expression, Leng Wanli frowned at Ye Tian several times before shaking his head and saying, "Kid, I am nearing my end. Even if I don't die in battle today, I probably won't live much longer. You are different; you have extraordinary talent and will surely become a powerful figure in the future. You cannot throw away your life for a momentary struggle!"
Leng Wanli was still unaware that Ye Tian had already regained his strength, so he was trying to persuade Ye Tian.
"Grandpa Leng, I have already regained my strength! Quickly take this; in less than half an hour, you will recover to Martial Sovereign level. Then you can come back to support me!" Ye Tian briefly explained, unable to elaborate further given the circumstances.
"Haha! Kid, my mind is made up. You think you can trick me into leaving? Not a chance!" Leng Wanli laughed heartily, though his eyes were slightly red from emotion as he looked at Ye Tian.
"Grandpa Leng, you..." Ye Tian said anxiously, wishing he could force the Dan Pill into the old man's mouth.
"Get the hell out of here! Stop acting like a woman in this Narrow-Minded place! You're making me sick just looking at you!" Leng Wanli's harsh words caused him to throw the Dan Pill on the ground and crush it underfoot.
"Grandpa Leng!" Ye Tian was stunned by this scene. He knew that Leng Wanli's harsh words were meant to drive him away, but he never expected that this Spiritual Pill, which could easily turn the tide of battle, would be destroyed so easily by him.
"Get lost!" The old man waved his sleeve and charged toward the massive pillar of light, ignoring the stunned Ye Tian.
