Youth Song: Leijiabao Thunder Emperor

It must be said that Bai Wang's words were very convincing; if Lei Dong hadn't read the original work, he would have believed them.

It's likely true that he prefers Xiao Se to ascend the throne, rather than the Crimson King. This is assuming he has no other option, and Xiao Se is his last resort.

As for supporting Xiao Se, well, although that kid has poor eyesight, his ambition is by no means small.

He had never given up on the throne, nor had he shown any intention of supporting Xiao Se. Lei Dong listened to his words but didn't take them to heart at all.

"I believe Your Highness can heal your eyes."

As for whether Xiao Se is willing to go back with you, that's his business. As Xiao Se, he's my friend. If he chooses to become the Prince of Yong'an, I will bless him.

If I go back with you without any means of resistance, I'll probably become your pawn once I return to Apocalypse.

Although Xiao Se is intelligent, his political skills are only average, and he is not ruthless enough. He always wants to find the perfect solution to problems.

This kind of personality might be fine as a prince, but it might not be a good thing as an emperor.

If he were to ascend the throne, His Highness the White King would have plenty of room to maneuver.

Of course, this has nothing to do with Lei Dong. He made his stance clear: it would be best to get this most likely successor to back down.

"Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Lei. I hope so."

I understand what you mean, Cangming, let's go.

The White King nodded and called out towards the door.

The guard quickly came in and helped the White King away.

"Zang Ming. Serves you right for being blind."

Lei Dong thought to himself, watching the guard Lei glare at him as he left.

This guy is practically a mad dog; his loyalty has reached a pathological level.

The White King is a law-abiding citizen, but this guy might do something for his Prince White King behind the scenes. Keeping him around is just asking for trouble.

"White King".

A cunning and scheming person is the best candidate for the throne.

I hope you won't participate in the Battle of Leijiabao this time, otherwise Yan Zhantian can stay.

Without his support, that position was out of your reach.

Lei Dong knew that Old Master Tang supported this Second Prince.

Was this a scheme orchestrated by the White King, or was it orchestrated by the Red King using the Ninth Prince to spread false information?

It's also possible that the White King tacitly approved it, and it's hard to say whether the Ninth Prince or the Red King are both scapegoats.

People in the royal family are all cunning; they'll scheme and plot for anything. Lei Dong didn't want to understand the intricacies of it all; he didn't care who was behind it all.

Anyway, there's no doubt that Old Master Tang is working for this person. If Yan Zhantian doesn't show up, then it's on his head. Obviously, he knows about Yan Zhantian's actions.

If Yan Zhantian goes easy on Wuxin and plays with him for a few days, then it will be Emperor Mingde's fault.

After today's meeting, the White King should not become their enemy now.

If Yan Zhantian were to appear, it would most likely be the Ninth Prince spreading false information, and then it would be perfectly reasonable to pin the blame on the sickly and spoiled Crimson King.

Given the prevailing trend, Lei Family Fort's awkward position is no one's fault but his own. As long as his plan succeeds this time, no one will provoke Lei Family Fort in the future.

As for who ends up being blamed, that's just bad luck for them. Retaliation is inevitable.

……

"He came by."

Just as Lei Dong was going over the plan, Sikong Changfeng arrived.

"What does Senior Brother think of him?"

He saw Sikong Changfeng Leidong smile.

"He's a lot like his father, only he has a greater sense of responsibility."

A hint of appreciation flashed in Sikong Changfeng's eyes.

"You have a pretty high opinion of him."

"His father wasn't much better."

Sikong Changfeng rolled his eyes at Lei Dong's words.

"Hehe. Senior brother, do you still remember the thing you promised me?"

Lei Dong ignored the arrogance and became serious. It was time to reveal the plan, and it was time for him to take action.

"Have you thought about what you want me to do?"

Upon hearing this, Sikong Changfeng showed a hint of curiosity. Clearly, he didn't take it seriously.

"I would like to ask you, senior brother, to secretly go to Lei Family Fortress. I'm afraid the Second City Lord and I will have difficulty reaching Lei Family Fortress before the Heroes' Banquet, so I'll leave it to you."

"What happened?"

"With you and Hanyi there, Xie Xuan will go too. And you want me to go as well? What are you planning to do at a heroes' banquet?"

Sikong Changfeng's eyes widened instantly upon hearing Lei Dong's words.

Goodness, since the main city is in the city, are you going to call him along too?

Lei Dong had no idea what Sikong Changfeng was thinking. If he had known, he would have told him, "With him around, what do I need you for?"

"I received information that someone from Tianqi is planning to take action against Lei Family Fortress."

This time, the Dark River Sect and the Tang Clan are joining forces for the Heroes' Banquet. The Second City Lord and I will definitely be intercepted by experts.

The Tang Clan's patriarch, the three elders, the three heads of the Dark River Clan, and the Twelve Spider Shadow Guards—these are all top-tier experts, and they also have a large number of elite troops. I'm worried they might defeat us one by one, so I'd like to ask my senior brother to go and oversee things.”

Lei Dong, a master from both families, also looked grave. These people might be weaker than him in martial arts, but their methods of killing were far beyond his reach.

He's alright, but ordinary Lei Men disciples definitely couldn't withstand it, so we must prevent the opponent from even having the thought of resisting, and finish the battle quickly, taking them down in one fell swoop.

"The information is accurate. What are your plans?"

Sikong Changfeng frowned upon hearing this. The Tang Clan, the Lei Clan, and the Wen Family were the three major allies of Snow Moon City.

If the Tang Clan were to take action against the Lei Clan, he, as the city lord, would absolutely have to go there.

"The information is definitely correct."

My plan is, of course, to stay since we're all here.

"Are you confident?"

Seeing Lei Dong clench his fists, Sikong Changfeng couldn't help but ask.

"As long as they run away without seeing me, I'm confident."

A flash of lightning appeared in Lei Dong's eyes, and his powerful aura even made Sikong Changfeng take notice.

"Alright, then we'll proceed according to your plan. I will secretly travel to Lei Family Fortress at that time."

You and Han Yi must be careful; the Dark River is not to be underestimated.

"Although there are many experts in the Dark River, they are not top-tier. If the Second City Lord and I want to leave, they cannot stop us."

What's more, I have a secret weapon that will definitely impress them.

Consider this a lesson to that arrogant one. If they cause trouble again, we'll send them to Apocalypse. I want to see what tricks they can pull in the face of absolute power.

Weakening Snowmoon City was a consensus among Tianqi and his sons, and Lei Family Fortress was the sacrifice.

Lei Dong's next task is to cut off their claws. And if they open their mouths, chop off their tongues.

Simply taking a beating won't do. For Lei Family Fort to remain stable, this matter must be blown out of proportion. The Xiao family must be made to feel the pain, otherwise these people will continue to make trouble.

They always thought that by controlling power, they could control the life and death of others.

This time, Lei Dong is determined to teach them a lesson; there are some people they can't afford to mess with.

"Haha. Okay."

Since they dared to scheme against our allies in Snowmoon City, they will pay the price.

Sikong Changfeng was also ignited by Lei Dong's words and burst into laughter.

"Thank you very much, senior brother."

"It's alright, it's what I should do anyway."

"So, what secret weapon do you have that you can't tell me? Are you afraid I'll leak it?"

"No, that's not it. I'll give you a surprise later."

"Then I'll be waiting for your surprise. Don't give me a shock."
