Each of the seven members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association was a carefully selected elite, and their strength was beyond doubt.
Lan Miao might not be afraid of a one-on-one fight, but if either of them teamed up, he wouldn't be confident of victory.
It seems that his junior brother's strength is indeed far inferior to his own.
However, knowing that it was the Ten Thousand Immortals Association had come looking for them, Lan Miao's voice carried a hint of gritted teeth and satisfaction:
"As expected, the Ten Thousand Immortals Association is courting death! Junior Brother Han, next time something like this happens, you must call me."
I'd like to see if these guys still dare to be arrogant in front of my fellow disciples."
After saying that, he seemed somewhat unsatisfied:
"And this Chi Yuan, I'd like to see just how powerful this disciple of the Saint Venerable really is."
Han Xuanji glanced at Lan Miao again, noticing the burning fighting spirit in his eyes.
This seemingly reserved senior brother is actually quite the troublemaker at heart, and he's probably been waiting for a chance to openly challenge Chi Yuan.
However, this is just right. Lan Miao is the disciple of the Cloud Wasteland Holy Lord, and his strength is not bad. With him joining, things will be more stable.
He didn't continue the topic, but simply nodded in acknowledgment of Lan Miao's declaration of fighting side by side, then changed the subject and asked:
"What secret did you just mention about Thunder God Village? What is it?"
Lan Miao then remembered the important matter, quickly suppressed her smile, and said seriously:
"These past few days I've been gathering information in the village, and it took a lot of effort from them to pry out some useful information."
According to them, this Thunder World wasn't originally like this.
Long ago, the Thunder Clan established a powerful Thunder Kingdom, with a population of hundreds of thousands at its peak. They also built a magnificent Thunder God Hall, in which relics of the Thunder God were enshrined.
Later, for some unknown reason, he angered the Thunder God, who unleashed divine punishment, with thousands of thunderbolts striking down and reducing the entire Thunder Kingdom to ruins.
The remaining members of the Thunder Clan now live together in this village.
Han Xuanji frowned slightly:
" Thunder God Hall?"
"Right."
Lan Miao continued, "Although the Thunder God Hall was destroyed by divine punishment, there are still some relics inside. The Thunder Token we are looking for should be there."
"That simple?"
Han Xuanji was somewhat surprised.
It doesn't seem too difficult.
"It's not necessarily simple. The villagers were initially reluctant to reveal more, but I had to pay a high price to get them to open up."
Lan Miao waved her hand, her tone becoming more serious:
"Moreover, the ruins of the Thunder God Hall have now become a forbidden area, inhabited by many powerful Thunder Spirit, none of whom are easy to deal with. It is said that some Thunder Spirit are even comparable to Eternal True God, making them extremely terrifying."
People have already gone there, but they all perished inside. There's still no news of anyone finding the token.
It's said that someone discovered Chi Yuan and his men have already headed to the ruins of the Thunder God Hall. Let's hope he doesn't actually succeed.
At this point, Lan Miao explained:
"We speculate that these Thunder Token are limited; once one is used, there's one less. If they're all taken, there might be other options, or perhaps no other way at all."
"Yeah?"
Han Xuanji remained noncommittal.
The villagers of Thunder God Village are probably hiding something; they can't possibly reveal everything.
But the information about the Thunder God Hall is probably true.
While Lan Miao was recounting the information she had gleaned from the villagers, Zhou Yuan stood quietly beside Han Xuanji without interrupting.
Only after Lan Miao finished speaking did he thoughtfully begin to speak:
"These descendants of the Thunder Clan truly have a deep-seated reverence for the Thunder God, but precisely because of this, their talk of 'angering the Thunder God and bringing down divine punishment' seems rather strange."
If one truly has a devout faith in the Thunder God, why would they do something that would anger the deity?
The destruction of the Thunder Kingdom is probably not just a matter of divine punishment; there must be other hidden reasons behind it.
Han Xuanji gave a noncommittal "hmm" and did not continue the topic.
Whether it's the secret behind the fall of the Thunder Kingdom or the hidden secrets of the Thunder Clan, he's neither here for archaeology nor to seek justice for the Thunder Clan.
He came to the Ten Directions Immortal Hall for only two things.
Sign in and receive the inheritance of the Ten Directions Holy Lord.
Other matters, as long as they do not interfere with these two matters, are none of his concern.
He glanced at Zhou Yuan, his eyes filled with inquiry.
Zhou Yuan met his gaze for a moment, then understood his meaning, slowly nodding, his tone even more certain than before:
"That should be it; I'll probably have to go there."
Although their conversation was brief, the information it contained left Lan Miao, who was standing to the side, somewhat confused.
However, Lan Miao wasn't the type to pry into things. He roughly understood that there was some kind of tacit understanding between Han Xuanji and Zhou Yuan, and that this tacit understanding was aimed at the ruins of the Thunder God Hall.
Han Xuanji sighed inwardly; as expected, there was no way around it.
This trip will most likely result in a clash with Chi Yuan, sparking a major battle.
At this moment, Lan Miao's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she took the initiative to speak:
I'll go too.
Han Xuanji looked at his eager expression, nodded slightly, and did not refuse.
Lan Miao's character has been certified by the system, so you can rest assured.
As for Zhou Yuan's secret, it's best not to let Lan Miao know for now.
Once the three had reached an agreement, they didn't delay any longer and headed through Thunder God Village toward the back mountain.
The cultivators in the village who were squatting in front of the stone house studying the lightning pattern array stopped what they were doing when they saw Han Xuanji and his two companions suddenly move. They followed their backs and whispered among themselves.
Several shrewd Rogue Cultivator exchanged glances and quietly followed behind the three.
They might not know where Han Xuanji was going, but following this formidable figure who had just killed three members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Association was better than wandering around aimlessly on their own.
Before long, several more groups joined the tailing group. Some were simply curious to see what Han Xuanji was going to do, while others were looking to take advantage of the chaos.
These people initially tried to cover it up, but later they stopped pretending.
Han Xuanji noticed without turning around, but didn't pay any attention.
We can't just kill them all, can we?
Anyway, his main purpose in going there was to help Zhou Yuan obtain the Lineage inheritance, and then see if he could sign in.
As for other things, they are actually secondary.
