Battle Through the Heavens: Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor

Chapter 298 The dead don't need to know too much!

Three days later, outside Tianfeng City.

Xiao Bai stood on a mountain peak, gazing at the majestic city in the distance.

This place is already on the edge of the Northern Region. If we continue forward, we will be in the Central Region of the Central State.

However, it is still far from the Dan Domain located in the center of the Central Region. Even at their speed, it would take them several months to reach it by flying alone.

By taking a space wormhole, at the speed of an eighth-order space ship, it would only take a few days to reach the city in the Central Region that is closest to the Dan Region.

"Little White, we've been resting here for half a day already, aren't we going into town yet?"

Little Fairy Doctor frowned slightly, took graceful steps to Xiao Bai's side, and spoke in a tone that seemed to urge him on.

"Hehe...no rush!"

Xiao Bai reached out and gently stroked her slightly messy hair, soothing her softly.

"Can……"

Little Fairy Doctor glanced at Feng Qing'er not far away, then hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't.

She never interfered with any of Xiao Bai's decisions, but she noticed that Feng Qing'er's expression was strange, as if she wished they could stay here as long as possible.

Xiao Bai shook his head slightly, about to speak, when his gaze shifted to his right rear.

In an instant, the sound of wind and thunder resounded throughout the heavens and earth, the sky darkened, and dark clouds gathered.

Little Fairy Doctor keenly sensed that this thundercloud was not naturally formed but man-made, and it was self-evident which faction it belonged to.

"Wind and Thunder Pavilion..."

He turned around abruptly, looking at Feng Qing'er, whose eyes were shining, with an icy gaze.

"Was this a trick you used?"

With a flash, a figure appeared in front of him, one hand reaching out, its surface wreathed in a gray-purple light, grabbing the other's slender neck, and asking in a cold voice.

They traveled through deep mountains and forests, places rarely visited by humans. No matter how capable the Wind and Thunder Pavilion was, it was impossible for them to accurately find their tracks in the vast Northern Region.

"Hehe... I didn't tip anyone off."

Feeling the grip on her neck tighten, Feng Qing'er showed no fear on her face. Her eyes, slightly rolled back, looked at Xiao Bai with difficulty, her gaze full of mockery.

"Impossible. Xiaobai is so cautious. The routes she chose along the way were either deep in the mountains and forests or places rarely visited by people. If it weren't for you, how could the people of Fenglei Pavilion have pinpointed our location so accurately in such a vast northern region in just a few days?"

Her expression changed drastically, and a murderous intent surged in her beautiful eyes.

This woman knew this information but deliberately kept it to herself, clearly hoping that the people from Fenglei Pavilion would come looking for her and rescue her.

"Alright, Xian'er, if you continue, this little phoenix will die!"

Facing the reproachful gaze from Little Fairy Doctor, Xiao Bai withdrew his gaze, his expression calm. With a flick of his sleeve, four scrolls floated in front of him. His dark eyes fell on Feng Qing'er, and he said in a low voice:

"She didn't use any tricks; she just kept some things from herself!"

"you……"

When he took out four scrolls, Feng Qing'er's expression changed, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Do you think that even if I knew now that the scroll had been tampered with, it would be too late?"

Seeing Feng Qing'er's changing expression, Xiao Bai smiled slightly, put away the scroll, and said teasingly:

"I have good news for you. I knew there was something wrong with the reel the moment I got my hands on it."

Upon hearing this, both women's expressions changed simultaneously.

Little Fairy Doctor's eyes lit up with surprise. She finally understood why Little White hadn't rushed into the city but had waited here for half a day. It turned out he had a plan. With that, her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, was immediately put at ease.

Even after being released by Little Fairy Doctor, Feng Qing'er showed no sign of relief. Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Xiao Bai, and she shrieked in disbelief:

"Impossible. If you really knew, why didn't you react at all back then, or even break through the methods above? And why were you so cautious all the way here? Weren't you afraid that the Wind and Thunder Pavilion would come knocking on your door?"

"Extremely cautious?"

Xiao Bai chuckled. He had been turning left and right along the way, occasionally unblocking the aura shield on the scroll, just to confirm whether the person chasing him was a Dou Zun from the Feng Lei Pavilion. He didn't expect that in Feng Qing'er's eyes, he was being overly cautious.

"Rumble..."

The sky was covered with dark clouds, a strong wind was blowing, and lightning was flashing.

Not far away in Tianfeng City, streaks of light rose into the sky, looking in this direction from afar.

"boom!"

A bolt of silvery-white lightning, as thick as a bucket, poured down from the clouds and struck Xiao Bai hard on the head.

"Tsk tsk... We've waited so long for you, and you attack without even a greeting. Fenglei Pavilion... how rude!"

Xiao Bai shook his head, smiled faintly, raised his arm, and spread his slender fingers.

Five-colored lightning swirled around it, instantly transforming into a giant lightning palm that grabbed the raging lightning into its palm and gently squeezed it.

The dull thunder was deafening. In the nearby Tianfeng City, several beams of light that had just risen seemed unable to withstand the thunder and immediately fell back down.

In mid-air, the lightning pillar, resembling a giant python, radiated lightning and twisted rapidly a few times before exploding with a bang, transforming into countless arcs of lightning that rained down on the earth without even causing a ripple.

"Five-colored lightning?!"

A low, uncertain shout came from within the dark clouds, and then a figure stepped out of the air, dressed in a silver-white robe, with his beard and hair standing on end, and surrounded by violent wind and thunder power.

"Sect Master Fei!!"

A hint of joy flashed in Feng Qing'er's eyes, but when she saw that he was the only one there, her expression changed slightly. Just as she was about to say something, she suddenly felt the imprint in her mind tremble, her delicate body shuddered, and her gaze dimmed.

She knew very well that unless Venerable Lei himself came today, Fei Tian alone would have no chance against this unfathomable young man.

"Qing'er!"

Seeing that she was safe and sound, Fei Tian breathed a huge sigh of relief. Feng Qing'er had gone missing from his North Pavilion. If something had happened to her, he would have had a hard time explaining it to either the Pavilion Master or the Heavenly Phoenix Clan from which she came.

His gaze shifted to the black-robed youth, his silver eyes flashing with a sinister glint as he coldly said:

"Boy, after offending Ice River Valley, instead of trying to hide with your tail between your legs, you actually dared to kill an elder of my Wind and Thunder Pavilion and kidnap a disciple of my Wind and Thunder Pavilion. I must say, you have a lot of guts!"

"You've revealed such a shameful thing about Fenglei Pavilion in front of everyone. It seems you're very confident that you've got me cornered today?" Xiao Bai's lips curled into a playful smile.

"That's right. Killing you won't damage the reputation of my Fenglei Pavilion. On the contrary, it will deter some petty scoundrels and let them know the consequences of offending my Fenglei Pavilion!"

Fei Tian glanced at the crowd in Tianfeng City, his voice booming like thunder:

"Today, I will use your blood to atone for the majesty of my Wind and Thunder Pavilion!"

Before he finished speaking, he waved his sleeve, and the thunderclouds in the sky suddenly churned, with countless silver lightning bolts pouring down like a torrential rain, instantly enveloping the entire mountain range.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Thunder raged, the earth trembled, mountains crumbled, and the violent energy fluctuations shook even the distant Tianfeng City.

Countless people were horrified and retreated hastily, fearing they would be caught in the crossfire.

However, Xiao Bai remained standing still, not even moving an inch. He looked up at the sky filled with lightning, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said softly:

"this one?"

"If your true form were here, I would indeed have to put in some effort, but a mere soul avatar has no right to be arrogant in front of me!"

"boom--!"

The next instant, a faint light flickered between his brows, and a vast and powerful aura suddenly erupted from his body.

A powerful surge of spiritual energy rose into the sky, and the thunderclouds seemed to be violently impacted, churning and rolling away in all directions. A ray of sunlight pierced through the darkness!

"This is... a spirit from the Spirit Realm!"

Fei Tian's expression changed drastically, and he involuntarily took several steps back.

He stared intently at the faint soul fluctuations between Xiao Bai's brows, his voice becoming hoarse.

Xiao Bai stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering even without wind, his gaze sweeping indifferently over Fei Tian without uttering a word.

If he hadn't confirmed that the one chasing him was merely Fei Tian's soul clone, from which he could obtain the key to unlock the Three Thousand Thunder Illusion Body, he wouldn't have needed to make a series of actions that Feng Qing'er considered "cautious."

Raise your right hand slightly, with your five fingers slightly spread.

In an instant, the energy between heaven and earth converged wildly, condensing into a giant soul hand in the void. The hand was glowing with a dark blue light, and the patterns on it were clearly visible, as if it were a real object.

This is not a soul combat technique, but merely a slight application of the soul's advancement to the Spirit Realm. Although it relies on the strength of the soul to throw bricks, it is extremely effective against the soul clone of the paid Heavenly Seclusion.

"go."

With a soft shout from Xiao Bai, the Soul Hand slammed down.

The wind and thunder barrier that Fei Tian hastily conjured shattered like paper, and he was slammed into the ground, creating a huge crater tens of feet deep.

"Ahem. Who exactly are you?"

His soul clone suddenly became much more ethereal, like a candle flickering in the wind. He struggled to get up, but found that his soul power was rapidly dissipating.

With difficulty, he raised his head. "Among the younger generation of Zhongzhou, there could never be someone like you!"

"Dead people. There's no need for you to know too much!"

With a whooshing sound beneath his feet, Xiao Bai flashed to Fei Tian's side.

"Three Thousand Thunderclaps! You really did steal my Wind and Thunder Pavilion's fighting techniques!"

Fei Tian's pupils contracted. Seeing how skillfully the black-robed youth used it, it was clear that he had already cultivated the Three Thousand Thunder Movement to the Three Thousand Thunder realm.

If we add the three thousand Thunder Illusionary Bodies we just acquired...

Upon realizing this, his expression changed drastically, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Didn't I take the initiative to hand him the key to unlock the cultivation technique when I chased after him this time?

"You little beast, just wait until the Wind and Thunder Pavilion hunts you down!"

Seeing a streak of multicolored lightning shooting towards him, Fei Tian knew that this clone could no longer be saved today, and roared with a ferocious expression.

"The powerless lament of the weak!"

Seeing Fei Tian's clone shattered by the lightning strike, Xiao Bai sneered and waved his hand to collect the light and electricity that Fei Tian's soul had dissipated into.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, four silver scrolls floated in front of him, and his soul power surged forth from between his brows, invading them once more.

"Boom!"

What appeared before Xiao Bai was a world of lightning, with countless bolts of lightning surging out from the void and crashing down like a waterfall, carrying a powerful pressure and constantly making loud noises.

As soon as Xiao Bai's soul power appeared, the lightning seemed to sense it, bursting out bursts of intense light and instantly tilting towards him, as if to engulf him in a sea of ​​lightning.

"If you truly possess so much lightning, I, Xiao, would be delighted even if I were no match for you. But alas, it is merely an illusion created by a few souls!" Facing the lightning bolts shooting down from the sky, Xiao Bai shook his head, a faint glow appearing at his fingertips as he pointed forward.

"Disperse!"

With a light tap of his finger, a powerful soul force spread rapidly like ripples on water. Wherever it passed, the lightning shattered as if it were a projected image, turning into countless silver specks of light that vanished into nothingness.

After the illusory soul power was shattered, ripples quietly spread across the space. A bolt of lightning descended from the sky, rippling across the spatial waves and transforming into lightning characters.

Xiao Bai's gaze sharpened, his expression serious, as he slowly scanned each character.

There weren't many words, and Xiao Bai memorized each scroll in just a few minutes. Then his soul suddenly returned.

"Is it just a one-time use?" Looking at the once shimmering silver reel in his hand, now completely transformed into four pitch-black reels, Xiao Bai was speechless.

Before he could make a move, the tiny points of light that Fei Tian's soul clone had transformed into seemed to be drawn in, surging into Xiao Bai's body like a tide. In an instant, the thunder characters he had just acquired in his mind burst forth with dazzling light, and the characters kept recombinating, slowly condensing into a complete cultivation technique.

"Ha, making it all so complicated, I'll see if it really lives up to its name!"

Although Xiao Bai's tone was disdainful, the barely suppressed smile revealed that he was very satisfied with this set of techniques.

Who could resist the temptation of cultivating to the highest level and possessing an avatar with a level similar to the original body?

Although this clone was formed entirely from soul power and had obvious weaknesses compared to the original body, these weaknesses could be overcome by certain means.

"Xiaobai, are you alright?"

Seeing Xiao Bai standing still for a long time, Little Fairy Doctor couldn't help but step forward and ask with concern.

Xiao Bai snapped out of his daze, a glint of excitement flashing in his eyes: "Not only am I alright, but I also received a great gift."

Turning to look at Feng Qing'er beside him, a meaningful smile appeared on his lips:

"Speaking of which, your Fenglei Pavilion is really 'generous,' always giving me a big gift, which makes me feel a little embarrassed."

Feng Qing'er's face turned deathly pale. Having witnessed the destruction of Pavilion Master Fei Tian's avatar and seen Xiao Bai's strange behavior, she already guessed what was going on:

"You...you did this on purpose! You knew that this clone of Pavilion Master Fei contained the key to the Three Thousand Thunder Illusionary Bodies, so you stayed here resting just to wait for him to come!"

"That's right. Although I already knew, you kept it from me. I was planning to make you suffer later."

Xiao Bai readily admitted it, then changed the subject, "But now I've changed my mind. With you by my side, Fenglei Pavilion has become a transport team, bringing me endless opportunities. I really have to thank you!"

"Huffing and puffing"

Feng Qing'er's breathing was heavy, her eyes filled with hatred, her delicate body trembled uncontrollably, and she screamed in a terrified voice, "Bastard! Bastard, why don't you just die!"

She was truly on the verge of collapse. She had never been this devastated, not even when she was reduced to a mount. This time, instead of escaping her misery, she had allowed this bastard to obtain the complete cultivation technique.

How could she face the people of Fenglei Pavilion after this? For a moment, she felt that these humans were her nemesis, sent by heaven to torment her.
