However, no matter how many hards.h.i.+ps there were in front of them, they still had to continue. Difficulties and hards.h.i.+ps were bound to only be temporary.
The recovery of the Lei Family was of utmost importance. He could not be the least bit ambiguous, nor could he be the slightest bit negligent.
As the former Third Elder of the Lei Family, Lei Zhennan naturally understood better than anyone else how important the current period was to the Lei Family.
In fact, other than Devil Eagle Pavilion, there was also the pressure from the Yang family. They had already been eyeing the Lei family covetously, and now, the entire Lei family's vitality was greatly damaged. Not only did they have to face Devil Eagle Pavilion's arrival at any time, they also had to be wary of the Yang family's invasion.
In the arrangement of the events in the plaza yesterday, as the Third Elder, Lei Zhennan was entrusted with a heavy responsibility, being in charge of the cleaning and reconstruction of the manor's ruins.
As a member of the Lei Clan, he did not want to be a girl, he could only endure the pain in his heart and make the choice that he did not want to make, but had no other choice.
When Lei Zhennan walked out, he had also headed straight for the Wuyuan Town. The clan had his own matters to handle, but right now, he was extremely anxious in his heart, so finding his mother as soon as possible was the most important matter in his heart.
Lei Yang shuttled back and forth the streets and alleys of Wuyuan Town, not even sparing a single corner of the city a single time. However, he still did not have the slightest clue as to where his mother, Qin Fenglan, had disappeared into thin air, as if she had disappeared from here, making it impossible to find any trace of her.
"Where are we going?" In a remote alley within the Wuyuan Town, Lei Yang slowly walked forward step by step, eventually muttering some words that he could only hear in the end.
This alley was not far from the Yang family, and very quickly, Lei Yang arrived at the gate of the Yang family manor, probably because of the great battle between the Devil Eagle Pavilion and the Lei family, causing the entire atmosphere in the Wuyuan Town to become heavy, the entire Yang family to be on high alert, like a watertight iron bucket, the atmosphere was extremely heavy.
Lei Yang observed for a while. He reckoned that it would be difficult to sneak into the Yang Family courtyard, and just as he was about to give up, a Yang Family member with about the fourth level of spirit energy walked out from the gate.
From his appearance, Lei Yang reckoned that he was a servant, but his status seemed to be even higher than that of an ordinary servant. Immediately, Lei Yang rolled his eyes and quickly followed him from the shadows.
Not long after that, in a remote yard some distance away from the Yang Mansion, the servant who had walked out of the yard suddenly woke up with a bucket of cold water on his head.
"It's a ghost …"
The Yang family servant's face instantly turned red, the fear in his eyes became even more intense, and under this fear, his whole body trembled like it was sieve chaff. His lower body directly became wet, and emitted a pungent stench.
"d.a.m.n, I'm really not scared at all!"
"Next up, as long as I ask you something, you will answer anything. That way, you can live. Yours, understand?" The black masked man was Lei Yang. When he looked at the servant from the Yang family, he purposely made his voice hoa.r.s.e and low, making him look even more mysterious.
After hearing what was said, the servant of the Yang family immediately nodded his head like a chick pecking rice. He was completely surrounded by fear, and didn't have any choice.
After a round of interrogation, Lei Yang did not manage to obtain any clues related to his mother's disappearance from the Yang family servants. However, he did receive a shocking piece of information, and that was that on the day of the Lei family's chaos, the Yang family did indeed prepare to loot the family.
As for the specific circ.u.mstances, even the servant didn't know that the Yang family had given up. After all, he was only a servant, and his status was too low in the Yang family, so it was impossible for him to know such a secret.
Lei Yang was originally a kind-hearted person, his murderous intent was not heavy, but unfortunately, many of the questions he asked were directed towards the Lei Family. In this eventful time, the Lei Clan could no longer tolerate any further actions. In order to ensure that everything went smoothly, he decisively killed this servant and erased all traces of him.
… ….
While Lei Yang was searching all over the Wuyuan Town, on a distant mountain ridge, inside a dilapidated mountain temple, Lei Ming, together with Lei San and his other two followers were also anxiously waiting for something.
They had left in a hurry the day before yesterday. They had only heard that their father had been defeated and their elder brother had escaped. However, they had not received any more precise information. Since his father's life and death was unknown, in order to obtain more precise information, he had no choice but to send a subordinate to the Wuyuan Town to inquire about the news.
While he was waiting, a bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart, making him very anxious. He couldn't sit still as he paced back and forth in the broken temple.
"Lei San, you said that my dad is lucky, so he should be fine, right?" Lei Ming consoled himself as he spoke to Lei San, who was beside him.
Although the answer was barely satisfactory to Lei Ming, but how could the normally arrogant Lei Ming accept such an att.i.tude? Adding to his originally agitated mood, a wave of fury that had been suppressed for a long time rushed to his head.
"You dog slave, you must be tired of living!" Lei Ming was immediately enraged, he rushed forward and without saying a word, he slapped Lei San twice.
He had already had enough of Lei Ming treating him like this, he did not know the right way, and immediately jumped up and was about to take care of Lei Ming, but right at this moment, with a creaking sound, the broken door of the temple suddenly opened, and a figure quickly walked in. The figure of a person quickly rushed in.
The person who came was Lei Ming's other follower who was sent back to Wuyuan Town to scout for news. At this time, Lei Ming also felt that something was amiss, but when he saw this follower who had returned, it was as if he saw his savior. He quickly went forward and asked: "My father … My father... How is he? "
The lackey didn't know what had happened inside the rundown temple, so he immediately revealed a bitter face, showed a sad expression, and said: "Elder, he …. Elder … He … had already … Already. "The Immortal has pa.s.sed away!"
After he finished speaking, he pretended to be grief-stricken and began to cry loudly.
"What …" Father, he … Father, he … Unexpectedly... "Dead!"
"How can he... "He's dead..."
"No, you must have lied to me, right? You're the one who lied to me, right? " Inside the broken temple, when Lei Ming heard the news, he was unable to accept it at all. His entire being went crazy, his hands grabbed onto the shoulder of his subordinate who brought the news back, and started shaking frantically.
That follower saw that Lei Ming didn't believe him, so he had no choice but to cry even more sorrowfully, causing his sadness to become even more realistic.
Initially, it was just like how he did not want to endure Lei Ming's anger, which was why he had put in so much effort. But now, even if Lei Ming was unwilling to believe it, he had no choice but to accept this cruel reality.
When he let go of her, it was as if his soul had left his body as he fell to the ground, his mouth muttering, "Dead, how can he … He's dead! He … How could he … "He's dead!"
"This must not be real …."
"That must not be true …."
… ….
The attendant that had just returned was called Lei Ping. He was initially stunned, but after seeing the expressions of Lei San and his other companion, he immediately understood what was going on.
"You dog slave, you're too presumptuous! Don't tell me you want to rebel! " The three people's performance stunned Lei Ming for a moment, but he quickly recovered from his grief, and the anger in his heart immediately soared to the sky.
Adding on the fact that Lei Ming had heard the news of his father's death, his heart was filled with grief, the anger in his heart had nowhere to be vented out.
However, just as Lei Ming's slap was halfway there, Lei Ping had already grabbed onto it with his full force. Not only that, he had even ruthlessly slapped Lei Ming's face.
"Pa!" Along with a loud and clear slap, Lei Ming's body was directly sent flying by Lei Ping's slap. Bang!
"Dog slave, you actually dare to disobey this young master. Let me chop you apart today!" On the ground, Lei Ming's body was in pain, blood trickled out from the corner of his mouth. Half of his face had been slapped by Lei Ping, causing it to swell up with bruises.
When had Lei Ming ever been humiliated like this? In the past, it was all because of him being so high up, and a single glance from him being able to silence them all, yet today, they actually dared to be so presumptuous.
Just as he was about to explode and beat them up, he suddenly saw Lei San and the other two rus.h.i.+ng towards him. Not only were they not afraid because of his anger, they even had hostile expressions on their faces.
"You, what do you want to do?" Lei Ming finally realized that something was wrong, and his expression changed as he shouted anxiously.
"Hahaha, my young master Lei, no, it should be young master Ming. Wake up, your young master is done for today, don't you understand? Right now, you are just a tiger with no teeth! "
At this moment, he looked down at Lei Ming and said mockingly. All the discontent he had towards Lei Ming earlier was completely exposed, and he no longer had the slightest bit of care or concealment.
"Lei Ping, didn't the two of you hold a grudge in your hearts? Then what are you waiting for, the 'Young Master Ming' who served us well!"
Lei San's tone was cold, especially when he said the last three words' Young Master Ming 'with obvious resentment. He even put on a superior air as he ordered the two Lei Ping by his side.
Previously, Lei Ming had relied on his cultivation and background to bully the two of them, but now, not only was Lei Ming a cripple, he had lost his biggest support, and the two of them no longer had any concerns. After hearing his words, they rubbed their fists and walked up, looking like they would not stop until they had vented the anger in their hearts.
"You all … What are you doing? Let me warn all of you, although my father is dead, my brother still escaped. If you dare touch me, then when he returns, he definitely won't let you off …. "Yes!"
"... "Ahhh!"
However, these threatening words were of no use, before Lei Ming could finish speaking, the miserable scream that sounded like a pig being butchered, immediately spread out in the broken temple.
"Hahaha, your brother can't even protect himself right now! Young Master Ming, stop dreaming! From today onwards, we will take back everything that we have been through!"
