Youth Song: Leijiabao Thunder Emperor

As Lei Dong and his group left, several more people emerged from the dense forest shortly afterward.

The underground river covers a very wide area, with hidden sentries on several surrounding mountains.

If it weren't for the extraordinary abilities of Lei Dong, Lei Yunhe, and Li Hanyi, who eliminated many of the hidden sentries, the Lei Sect disciples wouldn't have been able to infiltrate at all.

After that, they didn't search the mountain, so naturally some people escaped.

After confirming that their base camp had been bombed to the ground and there were no survivors, the men exchanged glances and left without a word.

Some of the smarter but less ambitious ones simply find a secluded place to hide.

Some ambitious individuals immediately began contacting forces on the periphery of the Dark River and gathering manpower.

Even worse, some with connections began contacting powerful members of the community, using the guise of revenge to gather followers.

In short, within three days, everyone outside Dark River knew that Dark River's headquarters had been bombed.

The patriarch, the three family heads, the steward elders, and all the high-ranking officials at headquarters—none of them escaped; they all died.

The murderer swaggered back to Lei Family Fortress, making no attempt to conceal his movements. He seemed completely unafraid of retaliation.

At the same time, news spread throughout the martial arts world that Lei Dong, the Thunder Immortal who was assassinated by the Dark River, and Li Hanyi, the Snow Moon Sword Immortal, joined forces to attack the Dark River headquarters, and all the masters of the Dark River, including the patriarch, were killed in battle.

……

This has caused quite a stir in the martial arts world.

Tang Lianyue, still unsure how to resolve her feud with Lei Men, stormed out of Tang Family Fortress and headed straight for the Dark River Ruins. She completely ignored everything else.

The other sects also knew that a change was imminent, and they hurriedly consolidated their forces and summoned their experts.

……

In Wushuang City, Song Yan put down the intelligence report, her back bent even more, and even her shoulders slumped.

"Dark River. I never imagined he'd become this strong."

Sigh. Lei Family Fortress is now no weaker than Snow Moon City.

"Wushuang, you are now the city lord of Wushuang City. The fate of Wushuang City rests on your shoulders."

"What's wrong, Master?"

Wu Shuang stared blankly at Song Yan, who looked several years older in an instant. Only Lu Yuzhai, still in shock, could understand his master's feelings.

"Lei Dong and Li Hanyi led their men to destroy the Dark River headquarters."

All of Dark River's high-ranking officials, including Su Changhe and Su Muyu, were killed by them.

"Su Muyu is the one from Wenjian Wushuang City."

Seeing his forgetful apprentice Song Yan's fist harden, he thought, "How do you remember this so clearly?" It took him a while to calm down.

"Yes, he was killed."

"It's a pity, I still wanted to have a match with him."

"you."

……

Not only martial arts sects, but even Tianqi City was alarmed.

"So all those scum from the Dark River are dead. Good riddance."

"Lei Xian Lei Dong, I heard he's only twenty years old. An extraordinary young man."

Emperor Mingde slammed his fist on the table in excitement upon hearing the news reported by Jinxuan.

Although his eldest son was a good-for-nothing, he was still his own son.

As a result, the Prince of Langya, in league with his court officials, forced him to abdicate, and he was forced to demote him to a commoner.

Even so, Xiao Yong still couldn't escape the clutches of the Dark River.

The eldest prince was murdered in the street, but the emperor was powerless to do anything about it. Even though he knew who the murderer was, the killer was still able to get away with it.

The entire family of the emperor's father-in-law was wiped out; the sword that the royal family had supported ultimately fell on their own back.

The royal family became a laughing stock; who knows how frustrated this emperor was?

Now that the Dark River has been destroyed, no one is happier than him.

"I heard from Xiao Shisi that Chu He and this Lei Dong are very close. That's great. With friends like that, we won't be at the mercy of others in the martial arts world anymore."

Emperor Mingde couldn't help but sigh when he thought of his own suffering.

"Judging from what Marquis Lanyue said, Lei Dong is very dissatisfied with Lei Meng's killing of General Lei. He believes that someone in the court framed General Lei."

"Alas, at that time, Yong'er and Yingzong were locked in a fierce battle with the Prince of Langya."

The two of them went to great lengths to lure away the Azure Dragon Envoy and the Black Tortoise Envoy.

The rebellion in the Dark River was caused by the transfer of the Xuanwu Envoy, which ultimately led to irreparable consequences.

In an attempt to lure away the Azure Dragon Envoy, he secretly colluded with the Southern Martial Arts, resulting in the death of the Silver-Clad Army Commander and nearly causing a complete rout on the Southern Martial Arts battlefield.

Their crimes were unforgivable, yet in the end they both died at the hands of the Dark River.

I didn't want them to be burdened with infamy after their deaths, so I suppressed the matter.

The Lei family deserves an explanation.

Now that Lei Family Fortress and Snow Moon City have even had their Dark River headquarters destroyed, what can he say? He wants to cover this up.

As he spoke, Emperor Mingde's head swelled up even more.

"Now the Dark River assassins want revenge."

Snowmoon City is making frequent moves.

Those who harbor grudges against the underground river are also stirring; if not handled properly, this could lead to unrest.

"Let the people of the martial world handle the affairs of the martial world. If Snow Moon City can't even deal with a crumbling underground river, then it shouldn't be called the number one city in the martial world."

The thought that Snow Moon City and Dark River might fight to the death made Emperor Mingde even happier.

"Your Majesty is wise."

Upon hearing Emperor Mingde's decision, Jinxuan quickly bowed.

He remained outwardly calm, but only he knew the bitterness in his heart.

……

Bang, bang, bang.

"Useless, all of them are useless."

Dark River is a load of rubbish, the number one assassin organization is a load of rubbish, they even killed a sword immortal, and their headquarters were taken down.

"Useless, utterly useless."

Inside the Red King's mansion, the sounds of smashing and looting continued, and the shouts and curses of shrewish women were incessant.

All the servants remained silent, fearing that they might accidentally get into trouble and disappear without a trace, living a life worse than death.

At this moment, Xiao Yu was like a madman, smashing everything he could in the room.

This kid is brainless. He wants the throne but doesn't win over the court officials. He has no supporters among the civil and military officials.

He always believed that anyone who opposed him should be killed, and once everyone was terrified, the throne would be his.

And if you want to kill someone, Dark River is the perfect tool.

He had maintained close ties with Su Changhe for many years, secretly giving Su Changhe numerous benefits. As a result, not only did he fail to complete his first task, but he also ended up losing his own life.

Seeing that the underground river was about to disappear, how could he not be furious?

"Your Highness, now is not the time to be angry."

Now that the underground river is falling apart, it is the perfect time for Your Highness to recruit talented individuals.

With the Thousand-Faced Demon around, he can definitely help Your Highness recruit a group of people. After taking my medicine, their combat power is guaranteed to increase dramatically, and they will only obey Your Highness's orders.

Seeing that Xiao Yu had vented his anger enough, the man in black inside the room spoke up.

"Hmm, not bad."

Although the underground river has been destroyed, there must still be many people from it living outside.

Long Xie immediately found Thousand-Faced Ghost. Weren't they trying to step into the limelight?

As long as they submit to me, they will become the next Shadow Sect after I ascend the throne, and will directly obey my orders.

"As emperor, I can naturally avenge them in the Dark River."

"Yes, Your Highness. Long Xie will take care of it immediately."

Long Xie, who didn't find anything wrong with Xiao Yu's childish remarks, immediately went to carry out the order after receiving it.

After hearing this, Night Raven chose to remain silent. If it weren't for this crazy idiot, who would provide her with the research conditions?

……

"It seems they showed mercy to the Tang Clan."

Where is the head chef now? Why hasn't he returned yet?

Upon hearing Zang Ming's report, the White King gripped his teacup tightly and spoke with some urgency.

"The Furious Sword Immortal has returned to Tianqi and is currently in seclusion."

"It's good that you're back. You must be more careful with Raimon in the future."

Jingxia, you mustn't act recklessly anymore.

"Whoosh!"

Startled, Xiao Jingxia's hand trembled upon hearing Bai Wang's voice, and the cup fell to the ground.

He was trembling all over.

It is possible, seemingly, or even possible that he was the one who orchestrated the scheme to frame Leijiabao.

"Jingxia, what's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing. Yes, it's something."

Second brother, do you think Lei Dong will know that it was I who contacted the Tang Sect and the Dark River?

He knew whether he would retaliate against me.

"Hmph, now you know you're scared. I told you long ago that there are some bottom lines you can't cross."

Don't worry, they won't betray you.

Even if Lei Dong knew, he wouldn't make things difficult for you. After all, Old Master Tang and the others were released.

"Gulp. That's good, that's good."

Xiao Jingxia quickly drank a cup of tea to calm herself down.

"Remember this lesson."

"Yes, Second Brother."
