Question: How did Lei Wanjun die?

Answer: Suicide.

wrong!

The answer is, he was killed by Lei Yuexin.

wrong!

The answer is, they were killed by being buried under a mountain of money.

Or perhaps they were scared to death.

Tens of thousands of life-saving gadgets—who wouldn't be confused by that?

The moment he heard those words, Lei Wanjun realized that the other party's background was more powerful than he had ever imagined.

Cannot be killed, cannot be avoided, and cannot be reconciled.

The Lei family has no chance of avoiding annihilation.

Since that's the case, might as well die sooner and be reborn sooner.

It saves them from being caught and tortured to the point of wishing they were dead.

Lei Yuexin landed alongside the headless corpse and returned to the courtyard, letting out a long sigh of relief.

Despite having avenged her great grudge, she didn't seem as happy as she had imagined.

But even if she had to do it all over again, she would still do it without hesitation.

Only when you have truly taken revenge can you say that revenge is meaningless.

The courtyard was eerily quiet; Lei Wanjun's death had become a heavy weight on everyone's hearts.

What should we do next?

The crowd looked at each other, unsure of what to do, and none dared to ask.

After a moment, Lei Yuexin took a deep breath and asked, "Where is Lei Qianjue?"

Among the elders, one said weakly, "He died a few years ago when he was exploring the secret realm."

Upon hearing this, Lei Yuexin finally waved her hand and said, "Then you can all leave."

"From now on, I will change my name and surname... If you want revenge, I am at Huangsha Mountain outside the city. You can come and take my life at any time."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt as if they had been granted a pardon and hurriedly ran towards the door.

Seeing this, Li Hao sighed slightly, shook his head, and walked up to her, asking, "How are you feeling?"

Lei Yuexin presented the alloy sword, elytra, and storage ring with both hands, her eyes red-rimmed.

Seeing this, Li Hao had no choice but to open his arms and say with a hint of helplessness, "It's free."

The next moment, Lei Yuexin suddenly threw herself into Li Hao's arms, crying heartbrokenly, her heart breaking.

Forty years, half a lifetime, under extremely harsh innate conditions, he cultivated to the third level of the Spirit Tribulation. How could he explain the suffering and grievances he endured to others?

In fact, she had known all along that, normally, she would never have the chance to get revenge in this lifetime, but this was the only reason she lived.

Fortunately, fate was kind to her.

The crying gradually subsided, and most of the Lei family members had left.

The two sat on the steps, their backs to the ruins.

Li Hao toyed with Lei Yuexin's ring in his hand and said, "You gave me everything? So, are you planning to go back later?"

Lei Yuexin had cried all her tears, and her face was numb.

"No."

"Please convey a message to Elder Yuan for me: the kindness I have shown you in this life can only be repaid in the next."

"From now on, I plan to stay here at Huangsha Mountain, where my mother will be buried."

Li Hao nodded, but ultimately said nothing more.

He gently patted Lei Yuexin's shoulder before standing up.

The show's over, time to get down to business.

The Azure Bamboo has a unique aura, a pure blend of wood and water elemental energy, and its location is actually quite easy to find.

The Lei family fled in haste, and only a few spirit bamboos were roughly broken off and taken away; most of them remained intact.

Li Hao pulled up all the bamboo, soil and all, to make it easier to transplant.

Afterwards, Li Hao searched through the Lei family's collection of books. He could only say that there was still a difference between this kind of family and sect. The variety and quantity of martial arts techniques were far inferior to those of the Qingyun Sect.

The greatest treasure of the Yue Kingdom was still in the hands of the royal family.

By the way, that mighty general must have gone back long ago, right? Hasn't the royal family made any move?

Lost in thought, Li Hao wandered around the Lei family's house before finally emerging.

Lei Yuexin has disappeared without a trace.

"I gave you a chance and you didn't kill me... Fine, I'm just watching anyway. If the Lei family wants revenge, they won't be able to find me, and it won't implicate the Song family."

"You're courting death, and I can't reason with you even if you're a damned ghost."

Li Hao clapped his hands, walked out the gate, then turned around and set fire to the entire Lei Mansion.

……

Qingyun Sect.

Two people go, one person comes back; even a fool could see something was wrong.

After Li Hao recounted what had happened, Shen Lingyan remained silent for a long time.

In the end, all the complicated emotions just turned into a sigh.

"I will pass on the message to Elder Yuan. Yuexin has really suffered a lot."

Shen Lingyan cupped her hands in greeting, preparing to leave, but was stopped by Li Hao at that moment.

"etc."

"Sect Master Shen, quickly find a suitable place to plant Azure Bamboo."

"This thing is gradually losing its magic in my hands."

Although it can be replicated infinitely, it is not very useful, since the spiritual energy contained within it is decreasing every moment, and the replicated spiritual bamboo is the same.

Shen Lingyan then remembered this matter and hurriedly said, "Please come with me."

She immediately took Li Hao to the forbidden area behind the mountain: the Sword Tomb.

This place is protected by an array, and it also contains a natural spiritual spring with abundant spiritual energy.

The Azure Bamboo will definitely survive if planted here.

"This place is where the swords of the deceased predecessors of the Qingyun Sect are buried. Although it is a man-made place, it is still a place full of metal element spiritual energy."

"If you need to, you may cultivate here."

There's no other reason for making this place a forbidden area; it's simply because we don't want so many people to come and disturb the peace of our predecessors.

Normally, anyone who wants to come and pay their respects can enter, so opening it up to Li Hao is fine.

Li Hao found a spot on the edge and took out all the Azure Bamboo he had dug up from his storage ring.

To be honest, there were quite a few, dozens in total, of varying sizes.

However, because they lost a lot of spiritual energy while traveling, it's best to plant them first and let them recover before trying to absorb any more.

but.

After some thought, Li Hao picked out the few bamboo shoots that hadn't grown yet and planted them one by one.

As for the others, he tossed them aside like trash.

Shen Lingyan, curious, couldn't help but ask, "Senior, don't you want these spirit bamboos anymore?"

Without looking up, Li Hao said, "They're just old bamboo, and they don't taste good, so why plant them?"

Shen Lingyan: ...?

"Senior, I think you've misunderstood something. This thing isn't refined by eating it; it's done this way."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and took a piece of spirit bamboo in her hand, brought it to the tip of the brush, and then circulated her cultivation technique, taking a slow, deep breath.

Two wisps of smoke, one blue and one green, were inhaled into her body with her breath.

This is the unique wood and water elemental energy within the Azure Bamboo.

"As long as you don't drain it all at once and cause the spirit bamboo to wither and die, it will recover in a few days."

Li Hao glanced at her, then at the bamboo shoots in his hand, and immediately asked, "Wouldn't it be faster if we ate them?"

Shen Lingyan nodded: "That would naturally be more efficient, but... even if you have a way to replicate it, more than half of the spiritual energy will have been lost..."

Li Hao smiled slightly.

"So, you have to eat fresh food."

As he spoke, he planted the bamboo shoots in his hand, then with a flash, he produced a handful...

bone meal.
