At the sharp shout, the lightning around the flying boat slowly extinguished. A late Foundation Establishment cultivator flew down from the vessel. Though he faced juniors at the Foundation Establishment stage, he did not dare show the slightest negligence. Hastily, he took out his identification token and handed it to the patrolling disciple. "Disciple Kan Xu of Kan Thunder Palace has returned from training with ten disciples under my command. Please grant us passage!"
The inspecting disciple accepted the token and examined it carefully, then looked up at the ten disciples aboard the flying boat. Returning the token to Kan Xu, he called out, "Kan Xu of Kan Thunder Palace and ten disciples have been verified, returning to the sect after training. Passage granted."

Kan Xu put away his token and raised a hand to help the Foundation Establishment disciple up. Smiling, he said, "You have worked hard. This old man's training was for his own sake, while your watch here is for the Thunder Control Sect."
"Thank you for your understanding, Senior Xie!" the Foundation Establishment disciple said with a smile. "This is this junior's duty. It cannot be called hardship."
"Mm..." Kan Xu nodded, looking over the Lei Mo Mountain
