Within the broken temple, following Lei Ming's miserable wails, Lei Ping and's fists rained down on him continuously. In just a few short breaths, Lei Ming had already been beaten to the point where he could no longer form a human.

Lei Ming was a true cripple now. From a certain perspective, his physique was not even comparable to a robust mortal.

He was like a ball as he curled up on the ground. Lei Ping and Gu Ruoyun had kicked him back and forth. The skin on his body had long since been ripped apart; it was truly a tragic sight to behold. Even the blood-curdling screams gradually grew weaker. However, he didn't know that his miserable fate had only just begun.

When Lei San and the other two saw Lei Ming's miserable state and heard his screams of pain, not only did they not sympathize at all, they even appeared to be enjoying it, and there were even unceasing sounds of evil laughter.

When Lei Ping and the other subordinate heard this, they immediately stopped. Hearing Lei San's words, they seemed to have recovered their spirits. The two of them quickly moved closer to Lei San and asked, "Boss, what kind of powerful technique do you have?"

Lei San laughed and said, "I heard that there is a type of ant called a blood ant in this mountain. Although they are only the size of a thumb, they are very cruel and bloodthirsty, especially when it comes to group attacks. They are very sensitive to blood.

It was said that someone on the mountain once accidentally cut a small wound on a tree branch and bled a little. Unfortunately, they encountered this type of blood ant and were attacked. In the end, all that was left was a miserable skeleton.

Hehe, tell me, if I were to put this toothless tiger out of the temple for an entire night, what do you think the result would be? "

Lei San explained his plan and looked at Lei Ming who was curled up on the ground, his eyes revealing a sinister and cold smile.

The Lei Ping duo looked at each other and simultaneously raised their thumbs up and laughed: "Gao! Boss, what a great move! " After saying that, the others burst out laughing.

A wave of icy cold aura forced Lei Ming to wake up from his daze. He felt pain all over his body, and when he looked down, he realized that he was already tied up. Lei San and the other two were standing right in front of him, looking at him with an unfriendly smile.

But at this time, Lei Ming completely understood his current situation. Although he used to be arrogant and despotic, he was not stupid. Seeing that the situation was not good, in order to survive, he immediately tried to curry favor with them and said, "Um, brothers, I know I've done a lot of things that I've let you down in the past. However, I know I was wrong."

As if afraid that the few of them would not believe it, Lei Ming used his barely able to move his lower jaw and pointed at his own waist.

"Lei Ming, Lei Ming, you have that day as well! That spirit stone belongs to us brothers. After all, it was hard for us to get it from the disciples of the clan, so it belongs to us.

As for you, you can leave peacefully! "

As the sun set in the west, the fiery clouds in the horizon illuminated the entire world. The run-down temple on the mountain ridge seemed exceptionally tranquil under the peaceful multicolored light.

Outside the temple, when the first blood ant drilled into Lei Ming's flesh, an extremely miserable scream came out of Lei Ming's mouth, instantly breaking the tranquility of the mountain range.

Gradually, the screams turned into indescribable wails and screams, and along with Lei Ming's miserable growls and curses, as night fell, the entire mountain range became extremely creepy, causing one's hair to stand on end.

No one knew what kind of pain Lei Ming experienced when his life reached its end. When it was night, Lei San and the rest who were inside the dilapidated temple, within their drowsiness, could only vaguely hear Lei Ming's absolutely miserable wails. It wasn't until the latter half of the night that the outside of the dilapidated temple gradually calmed down.

The next day, when Lei San and the others walked out of the temple and saw what had happened, although they had long since been prepared, they were still thoroughly shocked by the brutal sight before them.

That was obviously because when Lei Ming was alive, he couldn't bear the pain of the blood ants devouring his flesh, and had scratched the bones in his fingers to vent the pain that he could not endure.

Although the three of them were shocked by this outcome, they did not pay too much attention to the grudges that had been building up in their hearts. Instead, they felt that Lei Ming had deserved this punishment.

But no matter what, Lei Ming was still the young master of the Lei Family. Seeing this situation, the three of them felt a little guilty.

"Alright, Big Brother, we'll listen to your commands from now on!" After the three of them finished talking, they did not even look at Lei Ming's skeleton. They followed the road down the mountain, talking and laughing, and gradually moved far away, finally disappearing in the direction of the Wuyuan Town.

… ….

Yesterday, he carefully searched through the entire Wuyuan Town, but still couldn't find any clues. Lei Yang was incomparably anxious.

For the past few days, his father had been busy trying to rebuild the Lei Clan. Although he was extremely anxious, he did not have any chance to leave.

Lei Yang quickly walked out of Lei Family Garden's gate. Yesterday, he did not find any valuable clues in the town, but today, he planned to look for them at a faraway place. After making up his mind, he rushed out of the town.

Not far from where he was going to leave town, a tall and skinny man suddenly rushed out from a corner of a remote alley. He did not notice Lei Yang who was rus.h.i.+ng forward and b.u.mped into him.

At this moment, he directly b.u.mped into Lei Yang, whose body had already become stronger, and was rebounded back to the ground. Looking at the handsome and dressed Lei Yang, who knew that he had offended someone he should not have, a trace of panic and fear immediately arose in his eyes.

Lei Yang was kind to begin with, when he saw the man being so humble, adding on to the fact that he had something on his body, he quickly replied amiably: "It's fine, it's fine.

When the tall and thin man heard this, he was extremely grateful. He was just about to turn around and leave as if he was in a hurry to get somewhere, when at that moment, someone suddenly called out to him from behind.

"Niu Fang, did you not know?" w.a.n.g Zhuo asked.

"Know what?" Niu Fang slowly walked up and asked.

"Isn't that nonsense? Of course I know, there are only these three great families in Wuyuan Town! What's wrong with the Shen family? " Niu Fang asked seriously.

"I heard that last night, all the people in the entire Shen family mysteriously disappeared in one night. Not even a single servant was left behind, only leaving behind a huge empty manor.

"Is this true?" After Niu Fang heard this, he became more energetic and quickly walked alongside w.a.n.g Zhuo.

"It's absolutely true. Why aren't you coming with me? Let's go and see if we can get anything of value." While the two of them spoke, they quickly walked far away, leaving only Lei Yang behind. In place, after hearing the news, his face was full of shock, and he was a little stupefied, even at a loss of what to do.

"The Shen family, so many people, had actually disappeared in one night!" This news exploded in Lei Yang's mind like a bolt of lightning.

"No wonder, previously, there were many people who were rus.h.i.+ng towards the Shen family. It was because they were so focused on leaving the town to find their mother that they did not pay attention to them." While pondering, Lei Yang used the Cloud Piercing Steps to instantly rush to the Shen family.

There were many people going in and out, making the place look like a bustling market. They entered the Shen household as if they were rus.h.i.+ng to the market.

As for those who had just arrived after hearing the news, their faces were full of anxiety, as if they were afraid that they would miss something good, and desperately squeezed through the entrance.

However, these people were all nearby commoners, there were no cultivators among them, this made Lei Yang felt that it was strange.

Lei Yang followed the crowd and slowly entered the Shen family's villa. He saw that the manor was in complete disarray. Many of the furniture had already been taken away. Even the sculptures and murals on the walls that had gold edges were taken away by someone's knife.

But now, this place was completely different.

He did not know why, but upon seeing this scene, Lei Yang's heart was suddenly moved.

The rise and fall of the clan, the changes of all living things, the lives and deaths of people, these were all fated rules. From beginning to end, they had never been able to escape the laws of the heavens. Even if a cultivator were to use their own cultivation base to fight back, they would not be able to escape. They would be trapped in the river of time.

Lei Yang could not understand his inner thoughts, but as he walked aimlessly inside the Shen family's villa, he unknowingly arrived at an elegant courtyard.

But when Lei Yang walked over, for some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of familiarity.

It was this feeling that caused him to involuntarily walk to the somewhat dilapidated courtyard door. He gently pushed it open and slowly walked in.

A delicate fragrance suddenly wafted out, causing the familiar feeling in his heart to grow even stronger.

"That's right, it must be her. Only she can match up to the fragrant orchids in this courtyard!" In a trance, Lei Yang seemed to be able to see that extremely beautiful figure. She stood amidst the flowers and revealed a faint smile.

Perhaps it was because the courtyard was so remote, or perhaps it was because the walls of the courtyard were old and worn out, but no one broke into that place during the chaos of the looting, allowing this place to escape a calamity.

As Lei Yang was immersed in the fragrance of the courtyard full of orchids, he unknowingly walked into an elegant room, and looked around. He could feel Shen Aojun's aura, but he felt a deep sense of loss in his heart.

After a long time, he was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly heard a different sound coming from the floor tiles beneath his feet.

Lei Yang carefully took out the embroidered box and opened it. Inside the embroidered box was a one foot long jade flute. The jade flute was a light green color, smooth and glossy. It was warm to the touch, without any carvings. There were only two small words carved on it, Central State.

When he saw the two words "Central State", Lei Yang's pupils constricted and his heart trembled even more violently. An indescribable feeling of joy suddenly rushed into his heart.

That was, although he did not know where Shen Aojun and the rest of the Shen Family had disappeared to, he knew that it must have had something to do with the two words "Central State".

At the same time, Lei Yang finally understood why Shen Aojun had such a complicated expression in his eyes when he left the Lei Family plaza that day. From the looks of it, it was because he was strongly reluctant to part with his.
