The Wind Thunder Emperor's Identity

Mo Tang looked at the person in front of him...

This man was quite tall and looked to be only around forty or fifty years old, but he had a wisp of silver-white beard on his chin.

He wore a silver robe covered with lightning patterns that looked like they were alive, constantly swirling, and even faintly emanating a powerful aura of lightning.

Judging solely from his own aura, Mo Tang felt that this person was even less powerful than the two elders, Huo and Mu, who had previously been by Feng Qing'er's side...

However, Mo Tang clearly sensed an extremely dangerous feeling from this person's body, even stronger than the two previous fatal crises.

"So this is what Dou Zun- level expert is like? Truly terrifying..."

For Mo Tang at this time, a Dou Zun- level expert was still an unattainable existence.

"Greetings, Venerable Lei!" Mo Tang bowed respectfully.

Venerable Lei did not respond to Mo Tang, but instead stared intently at him.

"From what Qing'er said, you also cultivate the Wind Thunder Gangsha?"

Mo Tang raised an eyebrow, not expecting that this Venerable Lei was so impatient, getting straight to the point without even exchanging pleasantries.

Moreover, Mo Tang also sensed that when the old man spoke of the Wind Thunder Gangsha, his emotions subtly fluctuated...

This is no simple matter.

A Dou Zun, someone who has lived for hundreds of years, is already as calm and composed as the ocean. What kind of event could possibly cause him to show any emotional fluctuations...?

Since he was already here, Mo Tang had no intention of hiding anything from Venerable Lei and directly nodded in acknowledgment.

Venerable Lei's expression grew even more anxious, and he immediately asked, "Where did you obtain this technique? Who taught it to you? Answer me quickly!"

Mo Tang honestly replied, "I found it many years ago at a Dou Emperor Ruins. It was left behind by a senior named Wind Thunder Emperor..."

"Really!"

Venerable Lei's expression froze for a moment, and his body relaxed slightly.

Taking a deep breath, Venerable Lei's tone returned to its usual calm. "Do you have any evidence?"

After thinking for a moment, Mo Tang took out the scroll that Wind Thunder Emperor had left behind, which recorded his life story, from his Storage Ring and handed it to the former.

Holding this small, ancient scroll, Venerable Lei felt as heavy as a thousand pounds.

After seeing everything recorded inside, he closed his eyes slightly...

"It really is you... brother..."

"Over the past hundred years, although I have long been mentally prepared, I still retain a sliver of hope..."

Do you still remember when you and I, brothers, founded the Wind Thunder Pavilion, we vowed to make it stand at the pinnacle of the Central Continent ...?

Beside him, Mo Tang felt his eyelids twitching...

"Holy crap! No way? That 'Condor Hero' who died in the Demonic Beast Mountain Range was actually Venerable Lei's brother? This joke has gone way too far!"

Mo Tang was initially puzzled as to how a mere Dou Emperor could leave behind so many valuable items.

I never expected them to have such a background!

Tsk, if you calculate it this way, then I can be considered a successor of the Wind Thunder Emperor, right?

Wouldn't I then have to call this Venerable Lei Master Uncle?

So it turns out I was already a member of the Wind Thunder Pavilion. Then, it wasn't a lie to act under the name of the Wind Thunder Pavilion in the Black Corner Region back then.

Just as Mo Tang was thinking about these random things, Venerable Lei had already recovered from his grief.

Mo Tang wondered if the old man had transferred his affection for his elder brother to him, his "successor," because he felt that the old man's gaze towards him had become much gentler.

"Come forward and tell me in detail what you saw and heard in those Ruins..."

Mo Tang bowed and agreed, then obediently recounted how he entered the cave and accidentally stumbled into the Ruins of the Wind Thunder Emperor.

After hearing Mo Tang's slightly embellished story, Venerable Lei nodded with some emotion, sighing inwardly at the extraordinary fortune of this young man.

To achieve such success from the barren Northwest Continent using only a cultivation technique demonstrates the extraordinary talent of this young man!

After a moment's hesitation, Venerable Lei said again, "Since you were able to receive your brother's inheritance, then you can be considered his successor..."

However, since your elder brother has passed away, you may become my disciple again.

Mo Tang, being very sensible, immediately bowed deeply and called out "Teacher".

Venerable Lei smiled, seemingly placing the lingering feelings he once had for his elder brother onto the young man before him.

There's no way around it; when you get old, you always want to find something to cling to.

"Now that you've joined my sect, Qing'er is your senior sister. I heard from her that you're also from her clan... As for the Sky Demon Phoenix, I can't interfere, but if it tries to harm you, I won't turn a blind eye. You can rest assured about that..."

Although Mo Tang confident that the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan, he was still slightly relieved with Venerable Lei's assurance.

Although the Heaven Demon Phoenix Clan has countless powerful members, they might not necessarily go to great lengths for Mo Tang, since it's not like he stole their bloodline and body...

You're saying it was stolen? Do you have any proof?

Although this Venerable Lei showed great goodwill towards Mo Tang, however...

"The Four Pavilions Conference is in three months. At that time, the Four Directions Pavilion and countless forces from the entire Northern Region will gather at the Wind Thunder Pavilion. We will take this opportunity to hold a formal apprenticeship ceremony for you, and let those old guys be our witnesses..."

"But before that, let's go to that cave you mentioned. I need to move my brother's remains to the Wind Thunder Pavilion, so he can know how much our Wind Thunder Pavilion has grown!"

Mo Tang readily agreed, and then went down to find his senior sister Feng Qing'er to arrange the next steps for him.

However, after leaving the Tower of Myriad Thunder Pagoda, Mo Tang subtly curled the corner of his mouth...

Although what Venerable Lei said sounded good, he probably wouldn't truly believe himself until he saw the remains of the Wind Thunder Emperor...

But what does it matter?

Anyway, everything Mo Tang said was the truth. As for the matter of how he used the system to quickly improve his strength, there was no way he could know. Even if he knew everything about him, what difference would it make? He could only say that he was a late-blooming genius!

Moreover, the awakening of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Bloodline adds a little bit of credibility to his growth process...

The reason I acted like a good-for-nothing since childhood was all because my bloodline hadn't awakened!

Perfect timing! Let's take this opportunity to let Venerable Lei make a small appearance in the Mo Alliance of the Jia Ma Empire and the Wind Thunder Alliance of the Black Corner Region. This will definitely boost everyone's loyalty, and who knows, it might even lead to a small surge in power for these two forces under my command...

Wow, this is absolutely wonderful!
