Chapter 889: Can't get in, can't get out

In Lei Lei's memory, she just went out to buy some things and was ambushed on the way. In a hurry, she sent her location information to Gan Xiaoyan, and then ran to the door of Li Chengxi's house, who was the closest and sure to be able to help.

Then, when she opened her eyes, she saw Lei Yuntian hesitating, and immediately realized that she had returned to her hometown in Jingzhou.

The Ninth Department must have verified her background long ago, so it is not surprising that she would be sent back to the Lei family in Jingzhou if something happened, but it is very strange to see Li Chengxi.

Logically speaking, isn't Li Chengxi very reluctant to get involved in these messy things?
It feels like someone who never eats spicy food suddenly goes to eat spicy hotpot, which is a bit surprising.

"I didn't want to get involved in this... Let's talk about it later. Let's talk about Lingbao Heavenly Palace first."

That’s right, now is not the time to talk about this.

Lei Yuntian looked at Lei Lei's expression and felt that if she didn't tell him, he would tell her. There was no point in hiding it, so he said cheerfully:
"The Lingbao Heavenly Palace is too powerful to be controlled by one person. Therefore, my Lei family has selected several people in each generation to serve as the masters of the Lingbao Heavenly Palace and jointly control the Lingbao Heavenly Palace."

Lei Lei continued:
"There are eight of us in this generation, and except for my cousin Lei Yuntian, we are all scattered across the country. If those monsters want to destroy the restrictions of Lingbao Heavenly Palace, they must first gather the eight of us together and let Lingbao Heavenly Palace appear in the world."

The purpose of dispersing the weapon masters is to prevent them from being caught in one fell swoop. Moreover, being the weapon masters, Lingbao Heavenly Palace will not cause any impact on the cultivators. There is neither benefit nor harm. Some people don’t even know that they are weapon masters.

This kind of operation is a precautionary measure. Generally speaking, no one would cause trouble for Lingbao Heavenly Palace. It must be said that our ancestors were far-sighted and are putting it to use now.

"Is Lingbao Heavenly Palace not in the Lei family?"

"You can say it's there, or you can say it's not there. Lingbao Heavenly Palace is usually in the outer heaven. In modern terms, it is at a higher latitude. It can't be seen or touched. Only the owner of the device can make it come down."

This is why Lei Lei was attacked.

"Since it takes eight people to bring Lingbao Heavenly Palace to the world, why don't you just hide in the Lei family?"

"It is indeed unlikely that those monsters can break through my Lei family's mountain protection formation. At least this place is safe for the time being."

This sentence is usually followed by a but.

"However, Lingbao Heavenly Palace descends once every hundred years to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and the day of descent is probably in the near future."

If that's the case, then the monsters' attack on Lei Lei might not just be a simple attempt to gather the master of the weapon to be sent down from Lingbao Palace. The master of the weapon might also be crucial to unlocking the restrictions that suppress the monsters.

Lei Lei shook her head and said:
"Actually I should have stayed as far away from the Lei family as possible. It's also my fault. I really didn't have time to explain."

Sending Lei Lei back to the Lei family is tantamount to sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth.

But if you don’t know the inside story, no one would know this is the case.

This is also why the Lei family was so surprised when they found Lei Lei being pushed back in a wheelchair. They really didn't want Lei Lei to come back.

After hearing this, Li Chengxi roughly understood the whole story.

In short, the monsters want to take back their power, so they want to build the Lingbao Palace. If they want to build the Lingbao Palace, a master of the weapon like Lei Lei is very important.

Simply put, come one, kill one; come a group, kill a group; anyone who dares to show their head will be killed in seconds, and that's it.

——Simple and crude.

It was normal for Li Chengxi to have such thoughts. It was the confidence that the vampire gave him.

The appearance of a true God in the mortal world is simply a dimensionality reduction attack, and the latter have no ability to resist at all, unless those monsters have god-killing weapons in their hands.

So after hearing the whole story, everyone else frowned, but Li Chengxi was the only one who relaxed a lot.

He originally thought that something had happened within the Lei family, and his mind was almost filled with a thirty-episode soap opera of love, hate, and vengeance, but he didn't expect it to be so simple.

It can be seen that Li Chengxi has been watching some weird stuff to kill time recently...

Gan Xiaoyan didn't know that Li Chengxi had already prepared a plan to annihilate the monsters, so she asked casually, "How many monsters are currently surrounding the Lei family? Do we have a chance to resist before the reinforcements arrive? When will the Lingbao Heavenly Palace descend?"

These are all very crucial questions, and Lei Yuntian felt somewhat embarrassed to ask them.

"We are not sure how many monsters there are. We don't even know how they entered my Lei family's secret realm. And the combat power of my Lei family... Sigh."

It seems there is no hope.

The Lei family is very powerful and famous, so why are they so lame?

In fact, it is not the Lei family that is lame, but all the existing immortal cultivation sects are equally lame.

Originally, only one disciple who could cultivate immortality was picked out of ten thousand. Besides, you couldn't just go around the streets looking for them like before. Now you just find someone and say, "Brother, do you want to cultivate immortality? That's very powerful."

I guess they didn't call the police because they felt guilty...

Without reinforcements, a sect could not be supported by the few people it had in the same family. This caused the number of disciples in many sects of cultivating immortals to gradually shrink, and this was irreversible.

In addition, there was a major incident in the past where an ancient tomb was discovered while digging a tunnel.

Digging up an ancient tomb is the job of the archaeological team, but if the owner of the tomb is still alive and kicking inside, that would be troublesome.

This happened decades ago. At that time, the Ninth Department issued a call for heroes, hoping to find civilians to help deal with the matter, and everyone responded positively.

Eliminating demons and defending the Way is my duty as a practitioner.

The brutality of this battle was beyond everyone's expectations and almost wiped out a generation of these sects.

Including Lei Lei and Lei Yuntian, very few of their parents' generation are still alive, and they all died because of this.

The population was not large to begin with, and they were missing a generation who should have been the ones to carry the banner. Now, everyone is lagging behind. They can only hope that Lei Lei's generation can grow up as soon as possible.

But as mentioned before, although cultivators have many advantages, their growth rate is extremely slow. Lei Yuntian and Lei Lei are both key training targets. They have been eager to be trained since they could remember, but now they are only around level 30, so it is still a long way to go before they can take on the leading role.

They were also helpless in the face of the monsters that were so numerous that they could surround the entire Lei family.

Some people may ask, what about the previous generation? Isn't it said that monks have a long life?

Many people from the previous generation also participated in that battle and never came back. The few left in the Lei family are unable to show up now.

For example, Lei Lei’s master is said to be in seclusion now, and it is hard to say when he will come out.

Lei Yuntian's great-grandfather's old injury recently relapsed, and he has difficulty walking on the ground. It seems unrealistic to expect the old man to go up and kill the monster with one move.

The Lei family can't get out. There is no signal here, and they have no way to contact Section 9 to ask them to send someone to help.

The monsters can't get in either. The strength of the Lei family formation is still very reliable. After all, they have an ancestor who can open up a small world. The performance of their descendants has nothing to do with their ancestors.

One wants to come in, the other wants to go out.

The Lei family could not get any reinforcements, so the monsters chose to surround and attack them, and the situation became awkward.

But the trouble is that this situation cannot be maintained for a long time, and the meeting of Section 9 cannot go on forever.

The most important thing is that Lingbao Heavenly Palace is likely to descend in the near future. If there is no reinforcement by then, the monsters will fire at Lingbao Heavenly Palace and then shoot it down, causing the ban to be lifted.

By then, no one knows what the situation outside will be like, but the monsters who have recovered their magic power will definitely tear apart all the people in the Lei family.
