"Master... Master Uncle, we have confirmed that they are heading to the Thunder God Temple and do not include the person we are looking for," said the disciple from One-Pin Hall, immediately retracting his smile and speaking with great trepidation.
"Is that so? Even so, those two thieves might still be mixed in among them." After saying this, he flashed in front of the eight people, his eyes scrutinizing each one as if he wanted to see through them all. He lingered particularly long on Yi Qingyi.
"Where did you all come from?" Seemingly not having discovered anything, he asked with a calm gaze.
"In response to your senior's question, we were commissioned by the Merchant Guild to escort a batch of precious medicinal materials, and we just arrived here today. We also encountered some seniors from your esteemed sect on the way; they might have some impression of us," Han Xing replied respectfully. It seemed he wanted to quickly rid himself of trouble by saying this.
"Oh, I have some impression. Alright, you may go!" The royal-level expert's eyes flickered as if he truly had some recollection; he nodded and allowed them to leave.
"Thank you, senior! By the way, senior, with the Thunder God Temple set to emerge soon, I wonder if we..." he hesitated to say.
"Even if I were to go, it would be to lead my own disciples; you should not harbor any delusions," the royal-level expert snorted coldly before vanishing without a trace.
"Sigh... let's go!" Han Xing sighed, looking regretful. After saying this, the eight of them did not linger and directly entered Leizhou.
Leizhou is named as such because in ancient times there was an unparalleled powerhouse known as the Thunder God. In that era, he was a peak existence with overwhelming strength and few rivals. Before his death, he left behind the Thunder God Temple, which emerges in every era and selects a successor. Successors emerged during both the Middle Ages and Ancient Times, all becoming god-level powerhouses.
Now there are rumors that the Thunder God Temple will emerge again in a year. This means that this time, there will be a successor chosen by the Thunder God Temple. If past successors' achievements are any indication, this time it is likely to drive many people into a frenzy.
It is known that previous successors all became god-level powerhouses, meaning whoever obtains the legacy of the Thunder God Temple can become a god-level powerhouse. Just this point is enough to drive them mad.
The key is that entry into the Thunder God Temple has few restrictions; anyone whose cultivation does not exceed royal-level can enter. This is why the earlier disciple from One-Pin Hall mentioned that Ren Pingsheng and his group were too weak in cultivation. Because this time, royal-level warriors will be abundant in the Thunder God Temple, their sect-level cultivation simply does not measure up.
Only with the leadership of a King-Level Martial Artist would they have any gains. Otherwise, if they entered, any King-Level Martial Artist who found them displeasing could easily wipe them out with a wave of their hand.
To avoid raising their suspicions, Ren Pingsheng and Yi Qingyi had been following obediently. Mainly, Ren Pingsheng was quite interested in the Thunder God Temple, and since they had encountered it, he wanted to take a look.
After nearly a month of trekking, the group of eight finally arrived at a Secondary City in Leizhou. They then used a teleportation array to reach the nearest city to where the Thunder God Temple would appear.
Thunder God City is a Secondary City named for being the closest city to the location of the Thunder God Temple's emergence. Each time the Thunder God Temple appears, it is guaranteed to be within a radius of one hundred thousand units from this city, although the exact location is somewhat uncertain. However, each emergence is accompanied by dramatic phenomena.
Due to the news of the Thunder God Temple's emergence, the number of martial artists in Thunder God City had noticeably increased. Strong martial artists flocked here, most of whom were at the Zongji Realm. Only a small portion were at the Supreme Realm, likely hoping for some luck and gains.
There were also some with even more profound cultivation, whose depths were hard to discern; these individuals were particularly awe-inspiring. Everyone knew that these were King Level Boundary martial artists. They were the most formidable competitors for this Thunder God Temple.
"Thunder God City, we have arrived," Han Xing said with a smile as he looked at the bustling crowd. After much effort, they had finally reached Thunder God City.
"There are indeed many people here. Let's stay in Thunder God City. The Thunder God Temple should emerge in about ten months. If there are any matters to attend to, we can resolve them first and then meet at the largest Thunder God Tavern in Thunder God City," he stated as the leader after stepping out of the teleportation array.
"Alright, let's split up then. Just remember not to forget the time. If anyone arrives late, we won't wait for them. Of course, it would be better if we could bring some strong allies; this time at the Thunder God Temple, having more people will ensure greater safety."
"Okay, we'll send messages to some friends and meet up later." The other martial artists left one by one to find places to settle down in Thunder God City. With ten months ahead of them, it was neither too long nor too short but enough for them to take care of some personal matters.
Ren Pingsheng and Yi Qingyi found an inn to stay in; they were in the same establishment. At this point, many martial artists had already arrived in Thunder God City, and many inns were fully booked.
"Ren Brother, what should we do next?" Yi Qingyi asked in their room.
"I'm not in a hurry. I'm planning to go to the Thunder God Temple to take a look. Anyway, we're already in Leizhou, and the influence of One-Pin Hall can't reach here. As long as we don't expose ourselves, there won't be any danger," Ren Pingsheng said, taking a sip of wine and closing his eyes. In reality, he was thinking about other matters.
"Qingyi, change your appearance and then leave Thunder God City for Luoyue City at the edge of Leizhou. Wait for me there. Once I'm done with things at Thunder God Temple, I'll come to you."
"Ah... Ren Brother, are you going to leave me all alone again?" She pouted, looking aggrieved. Her eyes even turned red, as if she were about to cry.
"Sigh... Qingyi, I have no choice. This time at Thunder God Temple is too dangerous; there might be a lot of King-Level Experts. I don't even have confidence in protecting myself, let alone you. Be obedient and wait for me in Luoyue City." He helplessly rubbed her small head.
"But you need to be careful too. I'm worried that the Lady of Yuzhou City and One-Pin Hall won't give up easily; they might set some traps there. Also, bring more Spirit Stones and money this time; don't forget to bring enough so you won't go hungry."
"Hmph, I know." Yi Qingyi punched him lightly on the arm, feeling a bit shy and huffing in dissatisfaction. Last time in Silvermoon City, she had run out of Spirit Stones and had to steal food to eat.
"That's good to hear. Leave in three days so it won't attract anyone's attention. Remember to change your appearance; I'm afraid Han Xing might have ulterior motives this time," Ren Pingsheng said with some concern.
"What? Is he a bad person too?"
"Not necessarily; I just feel like he seems to have some purpose, perhaps related to Thunder God Temple. In any case, it's better to be cautious."
After Ren Pingsheng's instructions, Yi Qingyi quietly left on the third day without attracting anyone's attention.
"Alright, now it's time to focus on increasing my cultivation and improving my strength over these ten months," Ren Pingsheng thought. This time at Thunder God Temple was too dangerous; he couldn't afford to be careless. After the previous pursuit by the Lady of Yuzhou City, he realized the gap between him and King-Level Experts was too vast; he had no ability to fight back.
What he needed to do now was improve his strength and increase his chances of survival. Moreover, as long as he remained discreet and avoided conflict with them when the time came, he should be much safer.
When Ren Pingsheng entered his cultivation, Han Xing was in an inconspicuous inn in Thunder God City, discussing something with a person.
"How about it? Want to collaborate? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity," Han Xing asked mysteriously.
"Han Xing, are you sure this is real? How do you know about the happenings in Thunder God Temple?" The man in black across from him said skeptically.
"Haha, let me tell you the truth! It's recorded in an ancient book passed down in my family. It seems that during Ancient Times, my family's ancestor was a friend of the person who received the Thunder God’s inheritance, and it was that inheritor who spoke of it personally. That's how it was recorded. Unfortunately, after all this time, we have not waited for the Thunder God Temple to appear. I never expected to be the one to witness it. As long as we obtain that thing, becoming royal-level powerhouses will be easy."
"I see, but this time the risk is very high. With the emergence of the Thunder God Temple, there will be at least a hundred royal-level powerhouses entering it. Do we really have a chance?" The man in black seemed worried, unsure where he had heard this information.
"Don't worry, the place where that thing is located is very remote. Those royal-level powerhouses will surely rush toward the center for the inheritance and won't pay attention to us. As long as we are careful, it shouldn't be difficult to succeed. Don't you want to advance your cultivation and not remain stuck here?" he said enticingly.
"Alright, I will find ten helpers. We will meet again when the Thunder God Temple emerges." Ultimately unable to resist the temptation, the man in black agreed.
"Hehe, I've found another group of people; this time we will definitely succeed." Han Xing's eyes flickered with a strange light, and his smile was somewhat sinister.
Not long after, another person arrived. Han Xing stopped smiling and talked with him for half a day; this person left with a look of fervor. From his appearance, he seemed similar to the previous man in black—likely off to find helpers as well.
As time passed slowly, more and more martial artists gathered in Thunder God City. Among them were some extraordinary geniuses who had come under the guidance of their respective factions' elders. Perhaps their strength was still lacking somewhat, but their luck would not be poor; as long as they could survive from the Thunder God Temple, they would reap great rewards.
This gathering included not only geniuses from Leizhou but also many martial artists from nearby states. Additionally, geniuses from even farther states had rushed over with the help of their respective factions due to timely information.
