"Do you still think you have the ability to seek revenge now?"

Xu Nian looked at the Thunder Leopard being pressed to the ground, unable to move, and coldly questioned him.

Thunder Leopard’s face was full of unwillingness, but he had no way at all.

After all, Xu Nian’s strength was too powerful, just the pressure alone made him unable to breathe.

He never expected his son to die at the hands of such a formidable expert.

"My lord, help me!" Thunder Leopard turned his head to look at the woman in the crowd, pleading.

Upon hearing this, the woman frowned slightly.

Then she waved her arm, dispersing all the oppressive aura Xu Nian had formed.

"You’re a distinguished Nether Emperor bullying a Profound Immortal; isn’t that somewhat unreasonable?" the woman spoke, her voice soft and melodious.

Xu Nian smiled lightly.

"He was the one who acted against me first. The fact that I didn’t kill him is already merciful," Xu Nian said.

The woman saw everything clearly and naturally knew that Xu Nian had already shown restraint.

Otherwise, Thunder Leopard would have long been dead.

"May I propose that, out of respect for me, you let this matter pass?" the woman asked.

"My lord!" Thunder Leopard seemed to want to say more but was silenced by a single glare from the woman.

Seeing this, Thunder Leopard had no choice but to shut his mouth.

"Alright, but the Lei Family must not trouble the Qin Family again, or I’ll make sure the Lei Family vanishes," Xu Nian said calmly.

As soon as these words were spoken, Thunder Leopard’s face turned ashen.

But he had nothing to say.

A Nether Emperor-level expert could destroy the Lei Family in the blink of an eye.

In the future, the Qin Family might be untouchable.

The Qin Family members were overjoyed.

With Xu Nian standing up for them, at least in Heavenly Thunder City, the Lei Family wouldn’t dare to trouble them for now.

"Alright, let’s consider this matter settled. I wonder if you would be willing to chat in another location?" the woman proactively extended an invitation.

"Certainly!" Xu Nian replied.

Then the two directly instant teleported and disappeared from the original place.

Heavenly Thunder City, in the valley to the far north.

Thunder rumbled.

Lightning constantly flickered within the valley.

Deep in the valley, it seemed as if something even more terrifying was roaring.

Xu Nian and the woman appeared at the edge of the valley.

The woman’s dress fluttered in the wind, outlining an exceptionally beautiful curve.

Even Xu Nian couldn’t help but silently praise her beauty.

"Do you know what place this is?" The woman looked towards the valley, asking.

"Heavenly Thunder Pool?" Xu Nian clearly felt the terrible lightning energy in the valley.

Deep in the valley, there was even a sense of Divine Thunder.

"Yes, this is the Heavenly Thunder Pool. I came to Heavenly Thunder City for it; I want to obtain a Divine Thunder, but my power isn’t enough," the woman said softly, looking towards the direction of the valley.

"Obtaining a Divine Thunder?" Xu Nian was somewhat astonished.

She came here to obtain a Divine Thunder.

Such a Divine Thunder is not easy to acquire.

Without Divine-level strength, it would be difficult to survive under this Divine Thunder.

Additionally, the Divine Thunder in the Heavenly Thunder Pool seemed to be somewhat special.

"Yes, obtaining a Divine Thunder; I want to refine a Divine Artifact, and this Divine Thunder is essential," the woman said.

"Refining a Divine Artifact? Are you a Divine Craftsman?" Xu Nian was somewhat surprised.

He didn’t expect the woman to be a Divine Craftsman.

To know, within the Three Realms, he was the only Divine Craftsman capable of refining Divine Artifacts.

Unexpectedly, in the Netherworld, he encountered another who could also refine Divine Artifacts.

But using Divine Thunder to refine a Divine Artifact, Xu Nian had never heard of before.

"Consider me one, my refined Divine Artifacts are somewhat unique, and this Divine Thunder is a necessity, but I cannot obtain it by myself, so I wish to ask for your help. Once successful, I will provide you with adequate compensation," the woman said.

"Why choose me? Even with both our strengths combined, we’re unlikely to obtain the Divine Thunder, right?" Xu Nian asked with a smile.

He was curious why she would invite him during their first meeting.

Logically, a Divine Craftsman shouldn’t be lacking for assistance; if she extended invitations, Divine-level experts would likely come.

Wouldn’t they be more useful than himself, a Nether Emperor Late Stage practitioner?

"I am conducting this refinement of the Divine Artifact secretly and cannot let others know; you don’t know my identity, which in turn is beneficial for me," the woman said.

Xu Nian understood.

If the woman sought Divine-level experts, they would surely guess her identity.

And what she wanted was confidentiality; conversely, he as a stranger was the best option.

"Then aren’t you afraid I’ll attack you after you obtain the Divine Thunder?" Xu Nian smiled and asked.

"I’m not, and you can’t kill me. I possess life-saving items beyond your imagination," the woman said confidently, with an air of certainty.

Xu Nian was somewhat surprised.

Apparently, this woman had some formidable trump card.

"Let’s talk compensation!" Xu Nian said.

"A Low Grade Divine Artifact!" the woman directly stated.

Xu Nian, however, shook his head.

A Low Grade Divine Artifact to employ him was too low a price.

"A Mid-grade Divine Artifact plus a Low Grade Divine Artifact; this compensation is quite generous. If you don’t agree, then forget it," the woman said somewhat angrily.

This fellow was simply asking for too much.

"I want no Divine Artifacts; those hold no attraction for me. Perhaps you could allow me to observe your refining process?" Xu Nian suggested.

He was indeed curious about her artifact refining.

"No!" the woman decisively refused.

"Then forget it!" Xu Nian turned around to leave.

Seeing this, the woman hesitated a bit.

If Xu Nian left, finding an appropriate helper would be very difficult.

After all, Heavenly Thunder City was considered very remote within Qing State.

"Fine, I agree to let you observe, but you must not reveal my refining process," the woman said seriously.

"Deal!" Xu Nian smiled.

The woman was quite curious.

This man didn’t want a Divine Artifact but wanted to observe her refinement?

Could it be he was also a Divine Craftsman? 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

But soon she shook her head.

Within the Netherworld, besides her and her Master, there is no third Divine Craftsman.

"Let him watch since he wants to; without the Artifact Refining Technique, observing won’t help, better to quickly refine the Divine Thunder Arrow," the woman thought to herself.

Observing the woman’s expression, Xu Nian could roughly guess her thoughts.

Nevertheless, he was curious about how the Netherworld’s Divine Craftsman utilized Divine Thunder to refine Divine Artifacts.

"Let’s go! Into the valley," the woman said to Xu Nian.

After speaking, she flew towards the interior of the valley.

Xu Nian did not hesitate and promptly followed.

Upon entering the valley, Xu Nian and the woman simultaneously felt a terrifying aura of lightning.

This terrifying aura of lightning contained extremely strong destructive power.

This destructive power was utterly terrifying.

It posed immense harm to soul power.

Ordinary Netherworld Practitioners would surely not dare to approach easily.
