Chapter 1: Lei Yin (Part 1)

  "Alright! Everything is damn well alright, haha, the old man is a good fellow again! Haha!" He was excited to the point of being somewhat hysterical, which wasn't surprising. A person who had long since given up hope suddenly gained new life, and an even better outcome than before, it was hard to calm down.

  Lei Xingfeng laughed and said: "Grandpa, are we leaving in winter? I found that winter is nothing special."

  The old man said: "In the cold season, you and I are fine, but Yao Yao can't take it. She's too small and too weak to withstand the real blizzard of winter."

  Lei Xingfeng nodded and said, "Alright, let's head back to Hu Yaobao first."

  The old man said: "Alright, let's go back first."

  "Great, great, going home!" Leixing Yao said happily. Although her brother had taken good care of her during these days outside, the little girl still felt that being at home was better.

  The old man said: "Pack up, let's go!"

  ……

  Du Hongchen gazed anxiously at the cliff, his repeated failures finally making him lose his patience. He burst into a loud tirade, not only scolding Ying Xiang and Ying Dafei until they were covered in sweat, but also severely reprimanding Zhi Chilüan. For nearly ten days, they had still not breached the Tiger Cliff Fortress, although several of those days had been severe snowstorms, there had been two days with opportunities.

  The entire cliff was covered with large pieces of ice, which were formed after water seeped from the top and froze, making the cliff so slippery that it was impossible to grasp, even if there were steel hooks nailed into the cliff.

  "Uncle Du, if you don't take action, we have no way of going up."

  Du Hongchen cursed loudly: "I made a move? How did I make a move? I am the True Man of Mysterious Wheels! If word gets out... that I used my powers on an ordinary person, would I still have the face to see people?"

  "Alright, alright, but if you don't take action... this cliff wall, we can't conquer it at all! Master Uncle!" He was also furious to the extreme in his heart. Normally, he wouldn't dare speak to Du Hongchen like that even if he were beaten to death. This had nothing to do with courage, it was a matter of ability. They couldn't get a foothold on the cliff wall, and no matter how formidable they were, they couldn't threaten the people on the cliff wall.

  These ten days of attacks have killed many people, and even he himself was injured. This is not because the hunters on the cliff are so powerful, but because the advantage of the cliff has been brought into full play, especially in the current snowy weather, which makes him helpless.

  Du Hongchen hesitated in his heart, if he took action, for the sake of face, he would inevitably not be able to leave any survivors. As a true person with a high level of cultivation, he actually personally took action against ordinary people. Once it got out, he really wouldn't be able to show his face anymore. He wasn't some kind of wild cultivator who could act recklessly without worrying about consequences.

  Zhu Chì Hé didn't know what Du Hong Chen was thinking, he said: "Master Uncle, as long as you occupy the Stone Fortress... everything else will be taken care of by us."

  Du Hongchen still hesitated a bit, he was attracted by the single-wheel print of the Lei system. According to the customs of this world, at his level, it's not a battle between high-level experts, and he wouldn't deign to take action, eating would be too difficult to look at, and many people would laugh at him.

  Zan Akira smiled wryly, of course, he understood what Du Hongchen was thinking. If he had reached Du Hongchen's level, he wouldn't have made a move either. But in the current situation, he couldn't do anything about it. He said, "Master Uncle...it's getting colder and colder. We don't care, but those hunters won't be able to take it."

  Du Hongchen looked up and finally made up his mind, he was also extremely impatient, saying: "Alright, I'll go up and occupy the stone fortress, damn it, a group of fools, they actually climbed up the cliff wall, and still want me to take action personally!"

  Zhuo Chi Ya and others suddenly became excited. The true body of the Mysterious Wheel True Person, one of the Eight Great True Persons, had personally taken action. Not many people could see this with their own eyes.

  Du Hongchen suddenly pounced towards the cliff, one foot stepping on a steel spear, his body flying upwards like a large bird, one hand slapping against the cliff, just slightly borrowing force, and he rose seven or eight meters. The people on the cliff had been staring down, and when they saw Du Hongchen pounce towards the cliff, they were already waiting in formation above.

  Countless stones and logs came crashing down, but soon they found that this person was completely different from those who had tried to climb before. Not only was his speed incredibly fast, but the falling stones and logs were also useless against him.

  A slightly larger stone block, Du Hongchen slapped it to pieces with one palm, and he could even borrow power from falling stones and logs to rise faster.

  Hu Cangya's face changed instantly, and the hunters on top of the cliff were all frightened. This person was too abnormal. Hu Cangya shouted loudly: "Pour water!" A large amount of boiling water was poured down, trying to stop Du Hongchen. The method that had always been effective before completely failed this time.

  The water fell down, but it couldn't even touch Du Hongchen's body. This guy just stretched out his hand and touched the cliff wall, and the hard stone of the cliff wall shattered. He also borrowed the upward force, and in just over ten seconds, he had already risen to the middle section of the cliff wall.

  Ying Da Fei exclaimed under the cliff: "Awesome!"

  Wen Yan said proudly: "Of course, my master has always been very powerful, unlike you who are useless."

  The eagle's face turned bright red with anger, but he didn't dare offend the woman. He lowered his head, silently cursing in his heart.

  After a few sentences, Du Hongchen was already close to the top of the cliff. At this time, all the hunters on the cliff were crazy and didn't want him to come up, everyone would be finished. By now, they all knew that the Eagle Leader had found a powerful backer.

  At the order of Hu Cangya, several piles of large stones that had been prepared in advance were pushed down with a loud crash under the joint efforts of everyone, and dozens of logs piled together were also pushed down at once.

  The entire top of the cliff was like boiling water, all roaring up.

  A burst of smoke and dust rose, and Du Hongchen let out a long whistle. The falling rocks seemed to hit an invisible umbrella, sliding past on both sides. With one foot kicking against the cliff wall, amidst the rumbling sound, he had already forcefully reached the top.

  Just as he stood firm on his feet, seven or eight steel spears came stabbing over.

  Du Hongchen let out a cold laugh and suddenly shouted: "Get out!"

  Seven or eight hunters were all knocked flying with just one wave of his hand, each and every one of them spraying fresh blood in mid-air. Everyone watched clearly as Du Hongchen waved his hand without touching the hunters' bodies at all. The seven or eight hunters seemed to have been struck by an invisible force.

  Every single one of them had a thought flash through their mind: this person's strength was too high, and it wasn't something they could withstand at all.

  Several hunters roared and were about to rush forward to fight to the death, but Hu Cangyue's vision was high, and he immediately stopped them.

  "Don't try to continue attacking, if you enrage me, I believe you will regret it!" He said as he walked towards the stone fortress, not putting the hundreds of hunters in his eyes at all.

  A group of hunters, holding steel spears and bows and arrows, faced Du Hongchen.

  Du Hongchen sneered and said: "Get out of the way... I guarantee that if you dare to make a move, within one minute, I can kill all of you!"

  Hu Cangying immediately waved his hand to signal, letting the hunters who blocked the way make way for him. He wasn't stupid, and the other party didn't talk big. With his actual strength coming up, they weren't even people on the same level. Many hunters said, "Tribe leader, what should we do?"

  Du Hongchen soon arrived at the Stone Fortress, he directly threw out the two hunters guarding the Stone Fortress, and the basket was immediately lowered.

  Hu Cangyan's face was pale and uncertain as he said, "What else can we do? Our strength is insufficient..."

  Du Hongchen said: "Bring over a few people!"

  Hu Cangya was forced to call a few people into the stone fortress, and Du Hongchen said: "Send the people below up here!"

  In an instant, Zhi Chixiao, Wen Yan, Ying Jiu and Ying Dafei, as well as two Qianlun masters, ascended to the top of the cliff in a suspended basket.

  The eagle swooped down, he jumped out of the basket, and without hesitation, pounced on the group of hunters. With a loud crash, five or six hunters were knocked flying, punching and kicking, in an instant the hunters fell to the ground. This guy hated the people of Tiger Fort to death, coming up here prepared to kill people.

  Du Hongchen shouted: "Stop!"

  The eagle owl finally stopped, glaring at the crowd with a fierce gaze, saying: "Uh... eh... what..." No one could understand what he was saying, but everyone could hear the thick killing intent in his tone.

  Hu Cangya's heart was icy cold, Eagle Leader! This time we're done for.

  "What's going to happen to you eagle leader people?"

  "What's it like? You said how would it be? Haha, stupid question!"

  Du Hongchen said: "You big eagle, roll away!"

  Ying Dafei was stunned for a moment, he didn't dare argue with Du Hongchen, and walked away dejectedly to one side.

  Du Hongchen revealed a hint of a smile and said: "Which one of you is in charge?"

  Hu Cang stepped forward on the cliff and said: "I am the chief of Hu Bao, I'm in charge here." He said with a stiff upper lip.

  Du Hongchen nodded and said, "I don't want to make things difficult for you either. Just hand over one person, and we'll turn around and leave. Don't worry, I'll instruct the Eagle Leader's people to stop being hostile towards you."

  The eagle was in a great hurry, he wanted to shout loudly, but only made a hissing sound, and was slapped by Zhi Chi Ya with one palm, which made him dizzy. At this time, dare to oppose Du Hongchen? You don't want your life, I still want mine!

  Du Hongchen just gave Ying Xiao a cold glance, and Ying Xiao felt a chill run down his spine, with sweat beading on his forehead.

  "Who did you hand it over to?"

  Du Hongchen said faintly: "A young man named Lei Xingfeng."

  "Hu Cangya cut off the iron road: 'Sorry, our Hu Yanbao doesn't have this person!' Not to mention that he couldn't hand over the person, even if he could, he wouldn't be willing."

  Du Hongchen's face suddenly turned cold and he said, "There is no such person?"

  Hu Cangya said: "Yes, there is no such person, I don't know who the adults heard from... Adults, we and Eagle Leader are sworn enemies, it must be someone from Eagle Leader's side fabricating lies to deceive you."

  The old patriarch was extremely venomous, he knew that this time he couldn't escape his fate, and before dying, he would falsely accuse the Eagle Leader's people. Before Du Hongchen could speak, the Eagle Great angrily jumped out and shouted: "You're lying! You, you're spouting nonsense, Lei Xingfeng is your main hunter, how can there be no such person?"

  Hu Cangying turned back and said: "Everyone come tell this lord, is there a Lei Xingfeng here?"

  "Everyone said in unison: 'Sir, there is no such person.'"

  Someone added: "In our Huyuebao, there are only Hu and Ke surnames, everyone knows that, where did a Lei surname come from?"

  Ke Da Shan calmly said, "Sir, our Hu Yao Fortress is just that big, everyone is here. If you want to enter or exit, it's only through this stone fortress. If you don't believe me, you can search and see if there's a single person from Lei Xing Peak."
