Eternal Life as False Emperor
Chapter 286 - 251: Lei Tianming of the Nether Abyss
Two months flew by.
Yang Ping'er relied on the Yin Yang Treasure Mirror Fragment to exchange Thunder Shock every day, consuming all of the family's remaining eight hundred-plus Lower Grade Spirit Stones, and even using the extensive stockpile of Spirit Sand for exchange.
Finally, heaven did not disappoint the perseverant.
They, the Zhang Family, managed to exchange a total of one hundred and ten Thunder Shock!
So many Thunder Shocks, if they were all detonated at once, who knows how many people would die?
Originally, Yang Ping'er planned to distribute these Thunder Shocks evenly to each member of the family, using them as a trump card.
However, Zhang Shaohai proposed another idea.
"Father, Mother, why don't we place these Thunder Shocks on the path the Lei Family must take to attack our Zhang Family?"
"These Thunder Shocks have no Spiritual Qi Fluctuation, and they will explode three breaths after pulling the ring."
"Besides this method, continuously burning them can also trigger an explosion."
"We can precisely detonate them when the Lei Family attacks our Clan Protection Great Array…"
Zhang Shaohai's words received unanimous praise from all clan members, eventually gaining approval.
However, Zhang Yongkang had his own considerations, leaving twenty Thunder Shocks behind.
The remaining ninety Thunder Shocks were placed around the Zhang Family's Main Residence, hidden beneath the array, waiting for the Lei Family's arrival.
During these two months, the Zhang Family did not sit idly by, but constantly sought ways to leave Weiyang Mountain.
Besides their five Cultivators, the Zhang Family had over a hundred tribe members.
These clan members, relying on Zhang Yongkang's cultivation, excelled in Martial Dao.
Being one family ensured the loyalty of this group.
Unfortunately, they sent three groups of Martial Artists to try to sneak out of Weiyang Mountain, but without any success.
The first two groups vanished without a trace, and even the heads of the three-member third group were cut off and thrown back to the Zhang Family's Main Residence!
Upon seeing three clan members' heads, many clan members were enraged and wanted to rush out to avenge them.
Unfortunately, Zhang Yongkang held them back.
With a grim expression, he gritted his teeth and issued a series of orders to defend on the spot.
He knew very well that without the sect's assistance, they stood no chance against the Lei Family in the wild.
They could only rely on the Main Residence's Clan Protection Great Array and the hundred-plus Thunder Shocks for a slim chance of survival.
Even Yang Ping'er tried to sneak out using the Colorful Scale Gauze on one occasion, attempting to send a Flying Sword Communication to the sect.
Unfortunately, she had barely traveled five miles when she was discovered by flickering Spiritual Light in the distance.
With no other option, she returned to the Main Residence dejectedly.
They also learned why the Lei Family hadn't attacked the Zhang Family in these two months.
It turned out that during the battle at the Spirit Medicine Garden on the southern slope of Weiyang Mountain, Zhang Yongkang used the Talisman Treasure Fire Cloud Shield to kill several Lei Family Cultivators, and also injured Lei Family's Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Lei Yunfeng.
They knew very well that once Lei Yunfeng's injuries healed, the Lei Family would launch their attack!
On this day, late at night.
Under Weiyang Mountain.
Two figures stood by the riverbank, one of them, a young man, carefully examined the Spirit Sand retrieved from the river.
"Indeed, it's Spirit Sand, and of good quality."
The young man's gaze was sinister, with thin lips, giving him a rather mean appearance. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
"Third Grandpa, we absolutely must keep this discovery a secret. This Spirit Stone Vein could be the foundation for our Lei Family's rise!"
"Cough, cough, cough…"
Lei Yunfeng coughed and said, "Ming'er, are we really not notifying Yinlei Mountain? If Yinlei Mountain holds us accountable…"
"Yinlei Mountain?"
Lei Tianming replied coldly, "I have already returned from the Nether Abyss in accordance with the Canglan Covenant, and by the sect's rules, I can establish a Cave Mansion, where everything within belongs to me!"
"This Weiyang Mountain is at the junction between my Yinlei Mountain and the Smoke and Mist Sect, and establishing a Cave Mansion here is fully supported by my elders in the sect!"
"As for discovering a Spirit Stone Vein in Weiyang Mountain, that's my chance."
"By mining secretly, at least ten years of income can be guaranteed."
"After ten years, even if discovered and seized by the sect, I still get at least thirty percent of the profits."
"With such benefits, why should the Lei Family give it up?"
Lei Yunfeng was still somewhat hesitant: "Privately occupying a Spirit Stone Vein like this, what if it leads to a war between the two sects…"
"A war between two sects?"
Lei Tianming licked his lips and said, "That would be even better!"
"The Supreme Elder of the Smoke and Mist Sect was severely injured in the Nether Abyss and has long since returned to the Smoke and Mist Sect to recover."
"If my Yinlei Mountain can seize this opportunity…"
"The Smoke and Mist Sect's Supreme Elder was severely injured?"
Lei Yunfeng's eyes suddenly brightened: "Really?"
"Absolutely!"
Lei Tianming's eyes were gloomy as he said, "Therefore, this is the best opportunity for our Lei Family to take control of Weiyang Mountain, Third Grandpa, don't waste it."
"Understood."
Lei Yunfeng took a deep breath and said, "Let's begin, after all, my injuries are almost fully recovered, and the rest have been preparing for two months."
"Let's begin."
Lei Tianming decisively said, "However, once this matter is settled, those Loose Cultivators…"
As he spoke, Lei Tianming made a hand gesture chopping downwards with one hand, causing Lei Yunfeng's eyebrows to jump.
Life in the Nether Abyss for ten years, just what did Lei Tianming experience?
At Lei Yunfeng's command, eight shadows appeared behind the two.
In the surprise attack two months ago, they destroyed the Zhang Family's Spirit Medicine Garden, but Zhang Yongkang also utilized his best Talisman Treasure.
In that battle, the Lei Family lost three Cultivators.
Now, of the eight Cultivators behind him, only three belonged to the Lei Family, the other five were Loose Cultivators from Niumo Mountain.
Lei Yunfeng said, "Everyone, in tonight's battle, my Lei Family only wants Weiyang Mountain; all Zhang Family's Cultivation Resources will go to all of you!"
"Really?"
"Really!"
"Hahaha, Lei Family's old ancestor is indeed generous!"
"Husband~ I'm already yours, do we really need to separate you and I?"
"Lady Green Snake, you and I merely seek what we need."
"The Zhang Family occupied Weiyang Mountain for two years, gaining at least ten thousand Spirit Stones, we're going to profit!"
"Kill!"
At Lei Yunfeng's command, ten Cultivators revealed themselves and rushed towards the Zhang Family's Main Residence.
Along the way, their figures were completely unmasked, and they were already discovered by the Zhang Family's members.
Upon reaching the Main Residence, Lei Tianming didn't waste a word, he raised a hand and pinched a seal, then fiercely slapped a storage bag.
The next moment, a Talisman densely engraved with runes appeared in his hand.
Waves of Magical Power surged, and in an instant, the Talisman in hand emitted massive amounts of light.
"This Talisman is a Tier Three Talisman 'Secret Thunder Talisman' I exchanged for with a large amount of Merit in the Nether Abyss. Though contaminated by Nether Spirit Qi, reducing its power by thirty percent, its potency is still over ten times that of an ordinary Tier Two Talisman."
"Grandson does not believe that Zhang Family's Tier Two Array, Cloud Mist Colorful Scale Array, can withstand this Talisman!"
"Boom…!"
Moments later, the Secret Thunder Talisman in Lei Tianming's hand suddenly burst into brilliant light, instantly rising to the sky, the dazzling thunder light even illuminating the entire Weiyang Mountain as bright as day.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
Countless flashes of lightning suddenly emerged from the clouds of thunder, and the next moment turned into more than ten barrel-thick bolts, wildly crashing toward the top of Weiyang Mountain!
"Boom…!"
"Today marks the end of the Zhang Family."
From the thundercloud, Lei Tianming stepped forward, his back brimming with Evil Qi.
"Attack!"
