Chapter 286 Wife, Come Save Me!
Seeing that the other party was obviously trying to pick a quarrel by asking a question they already knew the answer to, Wan Lei felt a surge of anger in his heart. He was neither servile nor overbearing as he said in a resounding voice,
"A descendant of the Wan family, here to pay respects to Ancestor Lei Di."
"A descendant of the Wan family? Heh, sorry, they can enter, but you can't."
Liu Haixun took a step forward with a cold smile, his nostrils facing Wan Lei, making one wonder if he had a stiff neck.
"Heh,"
Wan Lei scoffed. He never expected that with his reputation at its peak, with feats such as killing a strong cultivator at the upper level of the Yuanshen stage and surviving against Huo Liuli, there would still be a Yuanshen cultivator ignorant enough to provoke him.
*Since you want to play the villain and be slapped in the face by me, then I'll patiently let you spout a few more lines, so the audience's emotions can be further suppressed before exploding.*
"Why?"
"The Nine Great Powers have a rule that only members of the Nine Great Powers can enter the Lei Di Palace to pay respects to Ancestor Lei Di. Others can only pay respects at the foot of the mountain and are not allowed to come to the top.
If you are Wan Lei, a disciple of the Yin Yang Sect, then I have nothing to say, and you can naturally enter.
But since you are Wan Lei, a descendant of the Wan family, then I'm sorry, according to the rules, you can't enter."
This was somewhat unreasonable. Whether a disciple of the Yin Yang Sect or a descendant of Lei Di, it was all Wan Lei himself. How could he not be allowed to enter?
His meaning was clear: he wanted Wan Lei to lower his head and enter as a disciple of the Yin Yang Sect, rather than paying respects to Lei Di as a descendant of Lei Di.
His intention to suppress the lineage of Lei Di was obvious.
"Then what if I insist on entering? What can you do to me?"
Wan Lei laughed in anger.
"You can enter if you say you are a disciple of the Yin Yang Sect."
"Hmph, I am a dignified descendant of Lei Di, here to pay respects to my own ancestor and fulfill the filial piety of a junior. And yet, I still need the consent of an outsider like you. What is the logic behind this?
If these words were spread to the Central Domain, what would people think?
Would they scold the Liu family for being arrogant and despotic, not even allowing people to pay respects to their own ancestors? What are you up to?
Could it be that your Liu family wants to seize this Lei Di Palace for yourselves?"
Speaking to this point, Lei Shaoye became impassioned,
"The Lei Di Palace is a valuable treasure left by Lei Di to his descendants. It is the spiritual symbol of everyone in the Lei Feng Realm, a sanctuary and belief for countless people. And yet, your Liu family, with your wolfish ambitions, actually wants to seize the Lei Di Palace for yourselves?
You are betraying your ancestors and destroying morality!
Today, in the face of Ancestor Lei Di, I must teach a lesson to you, a lawless and unfilial scoundrel!"
Liu Haixun's face turned red from Wan Lei's words, and he pointed at Wan Lei with trembling fingers,
"You little thief, don't spout nonsense. Don't think that just because you've侥幸(jiǎoxìng - gained by luck) won a few matches, you can shout in front of me.
How much exaggeration is there in your victories? Killing a Yuanshen cultivator, contending against a Mahayana stage cultivator? Bah, it's just the Huo family and your Yin Yang Sect creating momentum for you.
Today, I will see what you have to be arrogant about!"
After Liu Haixun finished speaking, he sent a palm strike towards Wan Lei.
Wan Lei stood still and casually sent out a palm strike to meet the attack.
*Boom!!!*
After a loud bang, Liu Haixun's figure flew backward.
*Are you kidding me? A mere middle-stage Yuanshen cultivator dares to fight Lei Shaoye?*
The guards were shocked and immediately surrounded him, drawing their swords and pointing them at Wan Lei.
These guards were mostly Yuanying cultivators, and could not provide much protection.
Whether it was the Liu family or other powers, they only sent a few people over as symbolic guards during their turn, mostly doing patrol and cleaning work.
As for not letting people from non-Nine Great Powers enter, it was mostly relying on the prestige of their Nine Great Powers to deter those who wouldn't dare to offend them.
They were reluctant to waste their real elites on this unimportant Lei Di Palace.
Even if the Lei Di Palace was the spiritual pillar in the hearts of everyone in the Lei Feng Realm.
"Get out of the way."
Wan Lei said coldly.
The guards looked at each other, roared in unison, and charged towards Wan Lei.
Wan Lei thought to himself that they were courting death, and casually sent out a palm strike. The guards immediately fell to the ground, screaming in agony. 大风小说 (dàfēng xiǎoshuō - windy novel - name of website, can be skipped).
Lei Shaoye's eyes widened in surprise.
He hadn't even used 50% of his strength in that palm strike. It would be normal to knock a few people down, but why were they groaning in pain on the ground as if they were seriously injured and dying?
Moreover, the people on either side hadn't even been affected by his palm wind, right?
*Has acting become this good these days?*
*They are all good men who know how to adapt to the circumstances.*
In reality, although these people were guards sent by the Liu family, none of them were surnamed Liu. They were just people recruited by the Liu family.
The Six Great Families, like the Three Great Sects, mostly relied on recruited elders and disciples to support their massive family structure.
After all, no matter how big and proliferous a family is, it is still just a family.
The disciples within the family were of varying quality. It was impossible for everyone to be a genius. To maintain their strength and prestige, recruiting others was essential.
Of course, these people were only good for using. If you expected them to be loyal, that would be even less likely than expecting a sow to climb a tree.
Seeing that they were so sensible, Wan Lei didn't bother to make things difficult for them and walked straight to Liu Haixun.
Liu Haixun struggled to get up, but Wan Lei kicked him in the face, knocking out several teeth and filling his mouth with blood.
"So weak, so vulnerable."
Wan Lei squatted down, grabbed Liu Haixun's hair, and smiled slightly,
"Now, can I enter and pay respects to my ancestor?"
Wan Lei emphasized the words "my family."
"You... bastard, daring to hit me! My Liu family will not let you go..."
Liu Haixun's mouth was still hard, but his eyes kept darting around.
"Is that so? The Liu family, how scary.
But you forgot, this is not your Liu family's territory.
This,
Originally belongs to my family!!!"
Wan Lei grabbed Liu Haixun's hair, stood up, and coldly swept his gaze over the guards who were still acting on the ground,
"Now, I will pay respects to Lei Di as a descendant of Lei Di. Let me see who dares to stop me!"
Without looking at anyone else, Wan Lei dragged Liu Haixun by the hair, dragging him like a dead dog, and strode towards the Lei Di Palace.
It is worth mentioning that Wan Lei only gave Liu Haixun a palm strike and a kick, which didn't even count as a serious injury, let alone completely losing the ability to fight back.
The Lei Di Palace was not a single palace, but a large complex of buildings. After entering the gate, they had to walk a long way to reach the main Lei Di Palace at the highest point.
No one would fly here, as that would be disrespectful to Lei Di.
Before even reaching the main palace, Wan Lei scanned with his divine sense and found the yellow-clothed girl inside the main palace.
"Wife, someone here is bullying me, come and save me!"
