Beiyin Great Sage

There are many dragons and snakes in Shicheng, and there are many forces.

An existence like the Sanhe Gang would appear within a few days.

However, there are only a few people who can truly establish a foothold in Shicheng and have a name for themselves.

But no matter how you calculate it, the Tianhu Gang, which Lei Batian personally founded decades ago, must be one of them.

Lei Mansion.

The backyard is Lei Batian's private residence, and the front yard is the chief helmsman of the Tianhu Gang.

The gate faces south, with nine stone steps. Two stone sculptures of Tianhu weighing dozens of tons stand on both sides. The tiger's eyes are arrogant and powerful.

The vermilion gate has been opened, with more than a dozen burly men standing on both sides, and even the young master of the Lei family greeted him politely.

Lei Batian's birthday is coming soon, and many people come to visit.

The long street in front of the door was busy with traffic and people coming and going. Zhou Jia glanced around and saw a crowd of people, no less than a hundred people.

Source Star!

Where?

Before he could find the location of the Source Star, the Consciousness Sea Tianqi Star had already fallen silent. It seemed that the location of the Source Star was beyond the sensing range.

Zhou Jia accelerated his steps and walked towards the main gate of Lei Mansion. After taking only two steps, he was stopped by a voice.

"Junior Brother Zhou!"

Yuan Xisheng came from the side with a long sword hanging on his waist, smiling and waving:

"I thought I came early enough, but I didn't expect that my junior brother was one step ahead of me. Just in time, we went to see the master together."

As he said that, he came closer and put his arms around his shoulders, as if he were affectionate as brothers and sisters.

Zhou Jia stopped and sighed in his heart.

It seems that the source star cannot be found for the time being.

However, this time the Source Star appears here, it is most likely on someone who is congratulating Lei Batian on his birthday. It will definitely appear again when his birthday comes in a few days.

Not in a hurry.

Nowadays, there are many people and many people walking back and forth, making it difficult to find.

"Master has arrived?"

"arrive!"

Yuan Xi nodded and asked casually:

"I heard that my junior brother had a dispute with a small gang in the city a few days ago, and he even got into a fight over it?"

"Yes." Zhou Jia said:

"Three Rivers Gang."

"Never heard of it." Yuan Xisheng shook his head:

"On the contrary, junior brother became famous in one battle, and his anger shocked the sky, but it scared many people. Even my senior uncle asked about you specifically."

"Senior brother, you are joking." Zhou Jia's expression did not change:

"That Tan Xiong is too weak."

"It's clear who is strong and who is weak." Yuan Xisheng chuckled:

"But this time, Junior Brother's name has been established in Shicheng. It will be much more convenient to leave the island and enter the city in the future."

"Um……"

He pondered for a moment and said:

"You and I, fellow disciples, should be close to each other. If you encounter any trouble, just tell me and I will do my best to help you sort it out."

"Thank you, senior brother."

Zhou Jia handed over his hand.

This is one of the benefits of having a big power behind you.

Once you have a background, others will be wary of taking action. Even if you cause trouble, there will be someone to back you up so that you won't hesitate.

Yuan Xisheng has black iron cultivation, is a disciple of the Jinhuang lineage, and is one of the six guardians of the Tianhu Gang.

In Shicheng, he is a well-known figure!

certainly.

He was able to say such things not only because of their relationship, but also because he was optimistic about Zhou Jia.

As Yuan Xisheng, he didn't have to go in and out of Lei Mansion as much as outsiders. He said hello and entered the mansion through the side door.

Lei Mansion is surrounded by mountains and water, with gurgling canals. Inside, there is a scene every five steps and a change every ten steps. There are pavilions dotted around it not far away.

The waist of the corridor is unobtrusive, the eaves and teeth are high, each embracing the terrain.

The arc of the turret is like a crescent moon. At the end of the trees, you can see the glazed tile roof, which is resplendent and magnificent. There is a sense of domineering in the majestic atmosphere.

I don’t know how much manpower and material resources were spent on building such a mansion, let alone how many craftsmen’s efforts were used up.

Shan Muhua and Shan Zijin have already entered the house.

backyard.

A dignified lady in colorful clothes was greeting herself.

The lady is already quite old. Even if she takes good care of herself, wrinkles can still be seen between her eyebrows, but her appearance has not diminished and her beauty remains the same.

It was Mrs. Lei Yuelong.

"master!"

"Second Senior Brother, Junior Brother!"

Several people had met each other, and Shan Muhua also asked about the Sanhe Gang, and was equally surprised by Zhou Jia's control of the Purple Thunder Sword Technique.

"Junior brother!"

While he was talking, a loud voice came from outside the door.

Before the person arrives, the sound arrives first.

Several people turned their heads and saw a tall man who was more than two meters tall, with broad shoulders and a broad body, and a strong back and waist. He was dressed in purple clothes and walked in.

The big man has sharp eyes, three-dimensional facial features, and a majestic temperament. When he steps inside, he attracts all the attention instantly.

It is Lei Batian, the leader of the Tianhu Gang!

Nicknamed Lei Tianhu.

But it is said that his opponents call him Thunder Tiger.

There were many people following Lei Batian, but the moment he appeared, the others naturally became the backdrop.

No one cares about the person behind him.

he.

It’s the center of attention!

"Gang leader!"

"Uncle!"

Yuan Xisheng and Zhou Jia stood up and saluted the visitor.

Lei Batian is about to celebrate his seventieth birthday, but he doesn't look any older. No one would believe him if he said he was forty.

His appearance is not outstanding, but he has been in high position for a long time and his power is amazing.

This kind of power is not only a kind of magnanimity, but also a manifestation of strong strength. Intangible pressure is naturally released outwards.

Zhou Jia just glanced at the other person one more time, and felt like he was breathing heavily, like carrying a mountain on his back, and even his perception of the outside world was quietly shrinking.

Just like a room, a huge beast suddenly appeared.

The space that other people can occupy is suddenly reduced.

Zhou Jia's heart beat.

Not just shocked by the opponent's strength, but...

Source Star!

The Source Star that was sensed in front of the Lei Mansion before was suddenly on Lei Batian's body.

No!

should be……

Inside his body!

Zhou Jia's heart was beating wildly, but he was a little helpless.

With Lei Batian's cultivation and strength, even if he has many special qualities, it will take him ten or eight years to catch up.

And by the time he reaches enough cultivation, he is afraid that the other party will almost die of old age.

This source star...

In a short time, there is no hope!

"Are you Junior Brother's new disciple?" A loud voice brought Zhou Jia back to his senses, and his eyes fell on him with real eyes.

"Exactly."

He cupped his fists and raised his hands:

"Junior Zhou Jia, I have met my uncle."

Looking up, the two looked at each other.

A trace of invisible thunder halo crisscrossed the line of sight, a faint sound of thunder echoed in the field, and the silent exchange was fleeting.

"Haha..." Lei Batian raised his eyebrows and laughed loudly:

"good!"

"At such a young age, you can master the Purple Thunder Sword Technique to the highest level. You are no weaker than I was back then. Young man, you will have a bright future!"

"Uncle, you are overly praised." Zhou Jia lowered his head and couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

He didn't know what Lei Batian's true strength was, but his control over the Purple Thunder Sword Technique must have reached an incredible level.

Thunder is unknown to strangers, and it moves with thought.

He even suspected that even the founder of the Purple Thunder Sword Technique might not be as accomplished as Lei Ba Tian in this sword technique.

When the opponent revealed the true meaning of his sword skills just now, he was like a true god controlling thunder!

No wonder!

He was able to firmly occupy the position of the three top masters of the Jinhuang lineage, alongside the Xue and Yang families, with his cultivation in the middle stage of Black Iron.

"You're a good boy." Lei Batian said:

"Are you interested in working for Tianhu Gang?"

"Forget it." Zhou Jia shook his head and declined:

"Thank you for your support, uncle. However, this junior is used to walking alone, and he has been busy practicing recently and doesn't want to indulge in other things."

In a few months, he will reach the tenth level, and then he will be able to apply for the super-level source quality. Next, he will prepare to break through to the mortal level.

Don't want to waste time.

"Hey!" Lei Batian shook his head with regret on his face:

"Communicating with others is also essential. Practicing should also be relaxed and moderate. If you just practice hard, you will not achieve success in the end."

"That's what your uncle said." Shan Muhua nodded in agreement:

"Speaking of which, Zhou Jia, you have been on the island for more than half a year. You have been in seclusion all day, and you have hardly gone out to interact with others. This is not good for your cultivation."

"Since senior brother is interested, you might as well take a part-time position in the Tianhu Gang. I think senior brother will not arrange troublesome errands for you."

"Besides..."

His voice paused and he took a deep breath. After he recovered, he said:

"Follow your uncle. If you don't understand anything about the Purple Thunder Sword Technique, you can always ask for advice. It's much more convenient."

"Not bad." Lei Batian nodded:

"There are many people in our lineage who practice the Purple Thunder Sword Technique, but there are really not many who are at your level."

The implication is that it was cultivated intentionally.

"This..." Zhou Jia hesitated:

"How about we come back after this junior has packed up everything on the island?"

"No problem!" Lei Batian waved his hand:

"When the time comes, you can find Xi Sheng and ask him to make arrangements for you."

"Thank you, uncle!"

Zhou Jia handed over his hand.

Packing things can take three to five days, or three to five months, but if it takes a year and a half, the other party may have forgotten about it.

Practicing alone doesn't mean much to others, but to him, it's perfect.

With the characteristics of wielding soldiers, as long as you practice, your martial arts will improve. There is no such thing as a hindrance or hurdle.

"Ahem!"

Shan Muhua covered his mouth and coughed lightly.

"Mu Hua." Mrs. Lei looked worried, looked at Lei Batian, and said:

"You go to the front to greet the guests. Mu Hua's health is not good. I will take him to the back to rest. I can't let the guests be left out."

"That's fine."

Lei Batian nodded.

in the room.

Mrs. Lei took a towel soaked in warm water, wring out the water in it, came to Shan Muhua, and wiped his cheek carefully, gently and carefully.

"How are you doing during this time?"

"Same old." Shan Muhua shook his head:

"You haven't been to the island in a while."

"Tiger will celebrate his seventieth birthday soon. There are many things going on here and he can't get away from it." Mrs. Lei rolled her eyes at him, her hand movements went lower and lower, her expression became more and more weird, her eyebrows were charming, and her voice Sweet and greasy:

"Besides, you don't come to see me when you have time."

"It's not very convenient." Shan Muhua's breathing became thicker, his eyes turned red, and he reached out to hold Mrs. Lei in his arms:

"It's not good to be discovered."

"It's been decades, who discovered it?" Mrs. Lei rolled her eyes, letting the other party manipulate her body, and her breathing became more and more rapid:

"You are just timid."

"Yes." Shan Muhua sighed:

"If I wasn't timid, how could I have a 'sister' like you?"

"Well……"

"hurry up!"

"Good brother, don't worry, it will be bad if Thunder Tiger comes over."

"Don't worry, he will be busy for a while."

Under the shadow of the window, two figures gradually merged together.

"On my uncle's birthday, all the forces in Shicheng, big and small, will come to visit me. If my junior brother comes here in the future, it's better to get acquainted with him."

forecourt.

Yuan Xi smiled and pointed at the crowd and said:

"These people are all here to eat and drink. Not to mention, there are only a few people in this big stone city who can really catch my eye."

Zhou Jia listened attentively.

Although he doesn't plan to join the Tianhu Gang, it would be good to get to know him.

"Su family!"

Yuan Xisheng pointed towards a corner of the courtyard with a solemn expression:

"The Su family is backed by the Red Sky Army and has a military background. Its power in Shicheng is no less than that of our Tianhu Gang, or even... a little stronger."

There were many forces in the courtyard who came to congratulate, but where the Su family was, there were not many people but they occupied a large area, and no one came close.

military?

Zhou Jia nodded slowly.

In Hongze Territory, the most powerful force was the military, to which the Xuantian Alliance and the imperial court had to pay tribute every year.

"That's Tianshui Village over there." Yuan Xi tilted his head and motioned to the other group of people:

"Tianshui Village and our Tianhu Gang don't deal with each other, but on the surface they have to get along. This time, it's my uncle's birthday, and they are here too."

"in addition……"

He pointed lightly at a middle-aged man next to Lei Batian and said:

"The city lord Zhu Chen belongs to the power of the imperial court. This person has a very deep city. He doesn't show much appearance on the surface, but he must not be underestimated."

The Dalin Dynasty is still there, but the imperial court does not have great control over all parties, at least it is far less influential than the Xuantian Alliance.

Most of the major cities have city lords.

It can be considered a big force.

"There is another force." At this point, Yuan Xisheng frowned and said:

"It's called Blood Vine Tower."

"Bloodvine Tower?" Zhou Jia was thoughtful.

In the Dalin Dynasty, Tianhu was a legendary beast.

But it has a nemesis, which is the blood vine. This thing lives on the Sky Tiger and grows by devouring the Sky Tiger's flesh and blood. It is a parasitic evil.

It is said.

When the blood vine truly matures, it also means the death of Tianhu.

Given this name, it is obvious that the other party has a grudge against Lei Batian!

"Dangdang..."

"when!"

At this moment, a rapid gong sound suddenly sounded in front of the door.

A voice from nowhere echoed:

"It's Tianhu's birthday, and Xue Teng is here to congratulate me. It's a small gift, but it's not respectful. I hope Thunder Tiger will accept it. I'll take my leave now!"

"Uh-huh!"

"Crash..."

One after another figures jumped up from the courtyard and rushed out the door.

Yuan Xisheng and Zhou Jia looked at each other and walked out.

In front of Lei Mansion.

More than a dozen corpses lay side by side on the ground.

Two of them made Yuan Xisheng's expression change drastically:

"Lei Yun, Lei Chong..."

Lei Batian's son!

Zhou Jia's heart was beating wildly, and he was even more determined that he planned to leave the island as long as possible!

Outside,

too dangerous!
