LRAB 423. The Dou Di Family
423. The Dou Di Family
Upon hearing this, the old man surnamed Yan's expression also tightened, clearly indicating that he was well aware of what the name "Lingfengzhui" represented.
"So, do we also need to speed things up here?"
Ling Zhuo leaned against the main seat, his expression shifting between light and dark. No one else in the hall dared to make a sound that might disturb him.
After pondering for a long time, Ling Zhuo unfolded the small feather fan in his hand: "Unchanged! Proceed according to the original plan. As long as we do not make any mistakes, even if Ling Feng does not encounter any unexpected events, he can only be temporarily complacent."
Having said that, Ling Zhuo smiled, but there was a chilling undertone in his smile: "So what if I have the support of the three elders? As long as I win first place in the Pill Gathering, the position of clan leader will be mine sooner or later!"
"Young Master, speaking of the Pill Gathering, the Pill Tower has already begun targeting us these days!" The old man surnamed Yan reminded him at the opportune moment.
"They're getting impatient too." Ling Zhuo's eyes regained their composed, confident look. "How's the preparation going with Tianji Tower?"
"Everything is ready. Within half a month, Saint Pill City will know about the Pill Gathering's Prodigy Ranking."
"Well done!" Ling Zhuo's eyes gleamed with confidence. "It's time to let these ignorant fools know the strength of the Dou Di family. This time, I will single-handedly crush all the younger generation in Zhongzhou!"
Then Ling Zhuo looked at the patriarchs of the three affiliated families of the Pill Tower who were sitting to the side, not daring to utter a sound, and said with a smile, "The three of you, shall we go with you?"
Upon hearing Ling Zhuo mention him, the Bai family patriarch asked curiously, "Where does Young Master Ling wish to go?"
"The Cao family!"
The remaining three exchanged glances, and then the Bai family head cautiously advised, "Young Master Ling, you may not know this, but although they are among the five great families, the Dan family, the Cao family, and the Pill Tower have a much closer connection, and their strength is also greater than ours. Even with the same conditions, they might not agree as readily as we do. Should we reconsider?"
Ling Zhu waved his hand: "Prepare? We were already prepared thirty years ago!"
"Whether it's the Dan family or the Cao family, they only have one path to take: becoming vassals of my Spirit Clan!"
……
As soon as Xiao Yan returned to the courtyard of Xingyun Pavilion, he felt a faint but powerful thunder-attribute battle qi surging. After entering the courtyard, he saw Lei Jingxiao wielding his exceptionally conspicuous golden twin spears.
The two spears, one long and one short, were wielded by Lei Jingxiao with hidden techniques. Amidst the crisscrossing spear shadows, deadly strikes were concealed! Lei Jingxiao's spears overlapped one after another, like surging waves, or a gazelle leaping across the water. Xiao Yan knew that Lei Jingxiao's golden twin spears were incredibly heavy, but Lei Jingxiao's arms possessed strength surpassing that of magical beasts, making the weight of the spears seem nonexistent to him.
Xiao Yan carefully examined the spear technique and discovered that, apart from forcefully breaking through with even more powerful fighting techniques, he had absolutely no chance to disrupt Lei Jingxiao's spear technique with skill. This spear technique already possessed the demeanor of a grandmaster; it was impossible to achieve such flawlessness without decades of study.
No matter how talented Lei Jingxiao is, experience cannot be accumulated in a short time. So there is only one possibility: this set of spear techniques was tailor-made for him by a master of spear techniques!
"ha!"
Lei Jingxiao finished his drill with a final horizontal slash of his twin spears. Looking at Xiao Yan, who was observing him from the doorway, he chuckled, "How about it? Want to give it a try?"
Xiao Yan waved his hand in response. His time was extremely tight; breaking through to the Soul Realm and refining his alchemy skills were urgent matters. He figured Lei Jingxiao's practice was acceptable, and there was no need for him to personally participate.
"I'm busy."
A hint of disappointment flashed in Lei Jingxiao's eyes, and he complained with slight dissatisfaction, "Can I go out and find some fun? It's so boring staying here!"
"We've only been here for two days, haven't we?"
"But if you look like this, you're going into seclusion again, right? If you go into seclusion, won't I just have to keep waiting?" Lei Jingxiao asked.
Xiao Yan nodded, agreeing with Lei Jingxiao's assessment. Lei Jingxiao's words made sense; keeping him locked up all the time wasn't really appropriate. However, Xiao Yan was also worried about letting him out carelessly. He had already realized that this man was no pushover.
"I can let you out, but there are a few rules." Ever since Lei Jingxiao was defeated by me with a Heaven-rank fighting technique, he has indeed been very obedient. Xiao Yan has also figured out his temperament: he is impatient but values his promises very much.
"you say!"
"First, once you're out, you can't go into the Pill Tower or any other place to steal anything." Xiao Yan was afraid that if he let Lei Jingxiao out, the latter would rush into the Pill Tower. The Pill Tower was different from the Sound Valley; there might really be a Dou Sheng level being there. If Lei Jingxiao went in, he would definitely be caught and exposed.
"Is that all? I don't care about those things. Going in to steal was just to test their strength. I agree."
"Secondly, we must not cause any deaths, nor can we arbitrarily injure or maim others."
"Third, you can't stay out overnight. You must tell Little Fairy Doctor or me before you go out."
Lei Jingxiao's expression was also somewhat strange: "Why are you treating me like a child?"
Xiao Yan smiled: "Aren't you just a child?"
Xiao Yan only recently learned that Lei Jingxiao's twentieth birthday was still a month away. A four-star Dou Zun at less than twenty years old—Xiao Yan was astonished by this achievement. However, Lei Jingxiao explained that his strength was entirely an accident and could not be replicated.
"Okay, is there any more?"
Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and said, "We can't reveal your Thunder Clan identity!"
Lei Jingxiao nodded: "Okay, but even if we tell these people outside about the Lei Clan, very few of them will know."
"Speaking of which, do you know about the Spirit Clan?" Xiao Yan asked.
"The Spirit Clan? I know them. I know all the Dou Di families."
"The Dou Di family? You have a Dou Di in your family?" Xiao Yan was somewhat surprised, as this was the first time he had heard of the name "Dou Di family".
Lei Jingxiao shook his head: "Of course not. In the tens of thousands of years, no Dou Di has ever been born on the Dou Qi Continent. The Dou Di family I mentioned is just that its ancestors once had Dou Di."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan's heart stirred. There might not be any Dou Di still alive on the Dou Qi Continent, but there was still one Dou Di who left behind his imperial will.
"So, between the Spirit Race and your Thunder Race, who is stronger?"
Upon hearing this, Lei Jingxiao unconsciously straightened his back and replied with unusual pride, "Of course, it's our Lei Clan. How can a lowly Dou Di family like the Spirit Clan compare to our Lei Clan?"
