Lei Mingxu was excited, pacing back and forth in the cave.

He wanted to go alone and capture the Jindan cultivator named 'Cui Huo'.

Then, he realized that there might be a conspiracy.

At the beginning, the Lei family spent a lot of effort to find a Jindan cultivator who practiced a special wood-based technique, and finally found Zhou Siyi who practiced the "Green Wood Spirit Heart Sutra" in the Beast Control Sect.

Now, Zhou Siyi has just escaped, and a Jindan cultivator who practices the "Spirit Wood Transformation Sutra" has come to the door. This is too much of a coincidence.

"Follow me to see the ancestor." Lei Mingxu suddenly said.

Hearing this, Lei Feiguang looked at Lei Mingxu with a surprised face.

Is it necessary to alarm the ancestor to rob and kill a casual cultivator in the early stage of the Jindan?

Before Lei Feiguang asked, he was wrapped up by Lei Mingxu's magic power and flew out of the cave to the wooden house where Lei Yue was.

When the two arrived outside the wooden house, the head of the family, Lei Jun, was also there, discussing something with the ancestor Lei Yue.

Seeing Lei Mingxu coming with a family member in the foundation-building stage, Lei Yue asked coldly.

"What are you doing here?"

"Reporting to the ancestor, it is suspected that the Yuanying cultivator who kidnapped Zhou Siyi has appeared." Lei Mingxu said.

"Where is that person?" Lei Yue said.

At Lei Mingxu's request, Lei Feiguang recounted the matter of Song Wen's purchase of the exercises.

"This 'Cui Huo' does look like that Yuanying cultivator. But why does he target our Lei family again and again?" Lei Yue said puzzledly.

"This person may have a grudge against our Lei family and is deliberately taking revenge on our Lei family." Lei Jun said, "A hundred years ago, the death of my son Lei Tianyu was also related to this person."

Lei Yue nodded, "It is indeed possible. Lei Jun, you are the head of the Lei family. In your opinion, how should our Lei family deal with it?"

Lei Jun said after thinking for a moment.

"There are only two ways to deal with enemies. One is to cut the grass and root out the trouble forever. The other is to reconcile and turn hostility into friendship. However, for the second option, our Lei family may have to make a big compromise to resolve the hatred in the other party's heart."

"Which way do you think we should choose?" Lei Yue said.

Lei Jun said, "The first choice is naturally to 'cut the grass and root out'. However, this person is cunning and hiding in the dark. It is not easy to get rid of him. This time, he may want to use the same trick again to lead the ancestor away, and then wait for an opportunity to retaliate against our Lei family."

Lei Yue said, "Indeed, I am the only Yuanying cultivator in the Lei family, and I am unable to split my attention. However, if we can invite fellow Daoist Mi He, the two of us will join forces and we will definitely get rid of this disaster."

Lei Jun said, "The ancestor's plan is very good."

Lei Yue smiled proudly.

Under Lei Yue's instructions, Lei Feiguang returned to the ghost market and contacted Song Wen with a communication jade slip.

[Senior Cui, a Jindan-stage elder in my clan, accidentally got a wood-type technique in his early years, which has a complete cultivation method from the Qi training stage to the Nascent Soul stage. As long as you can afford the spirit stones, my elder is willing to sell the technique. ]

Lei Feiguang received a reply from Song Wen very quickly.

[I wonder how many spirit stones your elder wants? ]

[One hundred high-quality spirit stones. ] Lei Feiguang said.

[When can the transaction be completed? ] Song Wen said.

[My elder hopes that it will be completed as soon as possible. ] Lei Feiguang said.

[How about the transaction in the valley east of the ghost market at noon? ] Song Wen asked.

[Okay. I will notify the elder as soon as possible. ] Lei Feiguang said.

[Then I will trouble Manager Lei to do the work. After the matter is completed, I will definitely offer the benefits I promised with both hands. ] Song Wen said.

After the communication with Song Wen ended, Lei Feiguang realized that his heart was beating like a drum.

From the words of Lei Yue and the other two, Lei Feiguang had learned that ‘Cui Huo’ was a Yuanying cultivator.

He was afraid that if he was not careful enough during the communication and revealed a flaw, Song Wen might find out that the Lei family had seen through his conspiracy, which would lead to the failure of the Lei family's plan. He was even more worried that Song Wen would hate him and seek revenge on him.

Therefore, Lei Feiguang hoped that ‘Cui Huo’ would die. Only in this way could he rest assured.

Lei Feiguang put away the communication jade slip and rushed to the Lei family without stopping, and informed the owner Lei Jun of the transaction location and time.

Lei Jun and Lei Yue were also quite surprised to learn that Song Wen placed the transaction location next to the black market.

They thought that Song Wen would find a remote place to lure the tiger away from the mountain and lead Lei Yue away.

......

The next day, at noon.

Lei Mingxu appeared in the valley east of the ghost market.

There were two people behind him.

One was Lei Feiguang, who was the middleman of the transaction and had to come.

The other person is Lei Yue, the ancestor of the Lei family, who disguised himself as a cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core.

These three people are only the Lei family's visible personnel. Secretly, the Lei family has six more Golden Core cultivators hiding in the valley. These six people have set up a trap array, waiting for 'Cui Huo' to show up, and then they can trap him in the valley.

However, the Lei family waited for a long time, but did not see 'Cui Huo' appear.

"It's already past one quarter of noon, why hasn't he come yet?" Lei Mingxu said to Lei Feiguang.

"Junior doesn't know, the time I agreed with him is noon. Junior will send a message and urge him."

Lei Feiguang hurriedly took out the message jade slip.

[Senior Cui, my family elders and I have been waiting in the valley for a quarter of an hour, why can't we see you? The family elders don't have the patience to wait for a long time. If you don't show up, I'm afraid this transaction will have to be abandoned. 】

The message fell on deaf ears, and no response was received.

Seeing that the message jade slip in Lei Feiguang's hand had not moved for a long time, Lei Mingxu cast his inquiring eyes to Lei Yue behind him.

Lei Yue said calmly, "Be patient and wait a little longer. There is Daoist Mihe in the clan. If that person wants to sneak attack the clan, he will not succeed."

The three continued to wait.

A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour, three quarters of an hour...

Lei Yue finally became impatient and said in a deep voice.

"It seems that person will not show up."

After saying that, he wanted to take his clan members back to the Lei family.

Just at this moment, the message jade slip in Lei Feiguang's hand suddenly jumped a few times.

[Manager Lei, there is an ambush of robbers in the valley, change the transaction location. At noon, we will trade at 'Cuishan Lake'. ]

Cuishan Lake is a small lake with a radius of only a few hundred miles. It is about 7,000 miles away from the ghost market and about 10,000 miles away from the Lei family.

"What on earth is this person doing?" Lei Mingxu asked puzzledly after reading the jade slip of the communication.

Lei Yue soared into the air and looked around.

Since Lei Feiguang could receive the other party's message, it means that the other party is not too far away.

However, after searching for a while, Lei Yue found nothing.

"It seems that this person already knows that I came here in person, and also knows that we have set up an ambush and trap in the valley. He led us to Cuishan Lake, probably to avoid the trap." Lei Yue frowned and said softly.

Lei Mingxu heard this and his eyes widened slightly.

"Ancestor, do you mean that the man wants to attack you?"

Lei Yue nodded, "It should be so."

"Then what should we do? Go back to the family residence?" Lei Mingxu said.

"No! Go to Cuishan Lake." Lei Yue said in a cold tone, "I want to see how a man who hides his head and shows his tail can be a match for me, Lei Yue?"

Lei Yue's words were full of confidence, but in secret, he used the communication jade slip to pass a message out.

Then, in the closed mountain ghost market, a member of the Lei family quietly walked out of the ghost market and went to the Lei family's residence.
