Killing him with a single slap!
Ao Lu’s statement was excessively obvious. Lei Gu was the Grand Elder of the Lei Clan and had supreme authority in the Lei Clan. After being pointed and cursed at by someone, how was he going to maintain his prowess in Gods Bestow City? How were the Lei clansmen going to stand proud?
Countless Lei clansmen were instantly enraged. The Endless Deep Sea might be powerful, but they were of the demon race. If an old demon was to slap their Grand Elder to death, how could the younger generations not be enraged? If it wasn’t for the strict rules of the Lei Clan, many people would have made their moves right now.
Situ Ao and the others were looking at each other while the ten old fellows’ expressions were gloomy. If Ao Lu wasn’t giving Lei Gu any face, it would mean not giving face to the Gods Bestow Tribe. As the eleven strongest individuals of the Gods Bestow Tribe—if they weren’t strong-willed, they would never be able to lift their heads up in front of the demon race from the Endless Deep Sea in the future.
Hence, Lei Clan’s Patriarch Lei Banxian spoke. “Lord Ao Lu, the alliance between the Endless Deep Sea and the Gods Bestow Tribe has lasted for more than 700,000 years. There is no need to destroy our relationship for a single person. We will need to see the facts and evidence to determine if this person is a spy or not, right?”
“Alliance?”
Ao Lu glared at Lei Banxian and sneered. “If you are unhappy, we can break the alliance for all you like. You can even try to make us all perish here, but whether you have the capability to do so. Activate your so-called Nine Worm Array then, if this Great One cannot destroy your array in a single move, I will take my people and leave immediately.”
“…”
Everyone was stunned, and there was nothing but dead silence.
Lei Tingwei and the others got startled and their eyes were revealing anxiety. Could this Endless Deep Sea’s Thearch have gone mad? Why would he want to destroy the alliance for a single Jiang Yi? Without the Gods Bestow Tribe, the Endless Deep Sea would have to face the legions of the East Imperial Continent by themselves. Why would Ao Lu be so unyielding? Could he have the confidence to confront with the East Imperial Nine Thearchs?
The mouths of Lei Banxian and the others were twitching, and two of the old fellows were trembling from anger. How could this Ao Lu speak like this? He had been alive for more than 700,000 years; why was his temperament still so irritable? Was he not going to leave any room for negotiation when doing things? Why didn’t he consider his future generations? What benefit would there be for the Endless Deep Sea to break the alliance?
In fact, Lei Banxian and the others didn’t know something. It was precisely because of these 700,000 years, which caused Ao Lu’s body to conceal powerful evil energy. He had the lifespan of a million years, but two-thirds of it had been spent trapped inside the Mystic Divine Palace. He was trapped inside that ice pool, living for years without daylight. It was already praiseworthy enough for him to not go insane.
Now that he was finally out, he naturally wanted to vent off all the pent-up anger in his heart. He couldn’t afford to provoke the East Imperial Nine Thearchs by himself, and he couldn’t vent all the anger by killing countless insignificant people. Thus, these old fellows from the Gods Bestow Tribe had naturally become the target for him to vent his anger.
Jiang Yi had done a favor for him, and the demon race wasn’t as superficial as the human race. They would repay vengeance with vengeance and repay gratitude with gratitude. He still had more than 200,000 years of lifespan, and with him around, the East Imperial Continent wouldn’t be able to invade the Endless Deep Sea. What did he have to fear?
Seeing Lei Banxian and the others who were speechless, Ao Lu overbearing spoke, “Why aren’t you speaking? Your human race will always behave so cowardly, and you would rather go through sheer hell than to lose your face! Since all of you said that this kid is a spy, and you said you have evidence? Then let us talk in detail about the matters about being a spy!”
When Ao Lu saw that Lei Gu was about to say something, he waved his hand tyrannically and said, “Enough. You don’t have to call up your people to bring the evidence. All your evidence is nothing; the words of this Great One are evidence!
“You are Lei Gu, right? The one beside you is called Lei Banxian, and he is your clan’s Patriarch, isn’t he? Lei Gu, two years ago during the sixth month, you married a snake woman as your concubine. That concubine of yours had given birth to a son and is around three months old now. Am I right?”
“Uh…”
Everyone was shocked, especially Lei Gu and Lei Banxian. Another old fellow from the Lei Clan had eyes as though he had seen a ghost. They were staring blankly at Ao Lu and were speechless.
“Hur-Hur!”
Ao Lu’s wrinkled face shook a little before he continued. “Lei Gu, your strongest ability is the six-star dao pattern, Void Dissolution, right? You have another five-star dao pattern called Wind Dragon Drill, and you just fused it two months ago, isn’t it? You have a total of 67 wives and concubines, and your four favorites are Fu Rong, Leng Ye, He Li, and Ling Yan. You have just spent last night at Ling Yan’s place, am I right? Do you want this Great One to tell the moves that you used last night?”
“My Lord, Lei Gu… is convinced!”
Lei Gu’s forehead was oozing profusely with cold sweat while his eyes were filled with shame and embarrassment. His old face was red like a monkey’s buttocks, and he wished there to dig a hole on Sky Ascension Peak and dive in. In his heart, he was extremely fearful of Ao Lu.
Ao Lu took a mocking glance at Lei Banxian and spoke indistinctly, “Lei Banxian, do you want this Great One to tell everyone what you do during yesterday’s midnight?”
“No, no need!”
Lei Banxian’s eyes pulled back as he quickly bowed with cupped hands. “Lord Ao Lu has an immeasurable ability. Banxian is convinced.”
Everyone was in an uproar. If Ao Lu had only known about Lei Gu’s famed supreme skill, no one would have thought much about it as the demon race’s spies from the Endless Deep Sea that were hidden in the Gods Bestow Tribe could find out about it.
However, Ao Lu even knew how many wives and concubines Lei Gu had, and even the names of his favorites. He even knew where Lei Gu spent his night yesterday and knew what Lei Banxian was doing in the middle of the night. This was something that spies wouldn’t be able to find out. If Lei Banxian and Lei Gu’s Demigod’s strength was to be clearly scouted by the spies, they wouldn’t be able to continue showing their prowess.
There was only one explanation.
Ao Lu possessed a powerful ability that allowed him to see through the soul spirit. Something like a powerful mind-reading technique.
Situ Clan’s Patriarch, Huangfu Clan’s Patriarch, and the others looked at each other and were silently shocked. They had heard that this Ao Lu’s strength had reached the peak stage of the Demigod and was only inferior to the Mystic Thearch back then. It seemed like the rumors were real. Such a heaven-defying ability made everyone appalled.
Countless Lei clansmen lowered their heads and were also extremely ashamed. Their clan’s seniors had been humiliated, and their scandals were exposed in front of everyone, making them lose all their faces. Countless people present were also lowering their heads in silence and were expressionless, but they were actually sniggering on the inside. Lei Gu was already 87 years old and was still so lustful? He had over 60 wives and concubines? Was his old spear not ground down into a needle yet?
On the contrary, those from the demon race were laughing without any restraints as their eyes were filled with mockery and ridicule. Princess Qianqian was lowering her head and no longer held onto Ao Lu’s arm. Her charming face was flushed red, and even her neck and the back of her ears were red.
“Since you are all convinced, then we will talk about Jiang Yi, this kid!”
Ao Lu took a glance at Jiang Yi, making his whole body shiver. It was as though many things in his mind had been seen through by Ao Lu. A transmitted message echoed in his soul spirit: “Kid, don’t be nervous! This Great One will not check your little secret; I am just searching for some information.”
Jiang Yi let out a breath of relief as no one would be happy to allow all their secrets to be seen through. Ao Lu took a glance and spoke indifferently, “Jiang Yi, 22 years old, born in a small clan in the Stellarsky Continent and is even a collateral descendant of the clan. His father, Jiang Bieli, had been killed the Wu Clan’s people while he had destroyed the Martial Arts Hall’s branch hall on the Stellarsky Continent. He had fled out of Stellarsky Continent five years ago due to fear of being pursued by the Martial Arts Hall. He killed a Tu Clan’s young master named Tu Rui on the Beastmen Continent. After he entered the Mystic Divine Palace on Pegasus Continent, he killed a Heaven Monarch from the She Clan after coming out of the palace. Because he had obtained the Destitute Dragon Grass, Heaven Evasion divine skill, and the Fire Cloud Armor, he had been pursued by the Xie, Jian, Tu, and Wu Clans before he finally entered the Gods Bestow Tribe!”
Ao Lu’s expression turned gloomy after he finished speaking. He swept a glance at everyone and yelled out coldly, “Would a person whose father had been murdered by the Wu Clan and had been pursued by the various great clans while also having killed many clansmen of the various clans be a spy from the East Imperial Continent? Are your brains all spoiled after getting clamped by doors? You aren’t nurturing such a great talent and framed him for being a spy? It wasn’t enough for the three clans to use over 10,000 men to deal with him and even had to mobilize a Demigod expert? If your ancestors were to know of this, wouldn’t they all crawl out from their graves to slap all of you to death?”
