"The Strongest Martial Emperor in the City"!
After listening to Lei Chun's narration, Yang Qi also understood the importance of this special treasure to Lei Chun's lineage. If the ancient clan got it, the consequences would be disastrous. Although the special treasure was lost before, it was lost in the Wanlei Star Region, and the Dark Thunder Gorge was blocked by Lei Chun's lineage. As long as time is spent, it will be found sooner or later.
If the ancient clan got it, Lei Chun's lineage would be equivalent to completely losing that special treasure. Given the grudge between the two major clans, the ancient clan would never take the initiative to return the special treasure unless Lei Chun's lineage was willing to become a guardian clan under the ancient clan.
Protecting a clan is not as simple as protecting the ancient royal family. More importantly, their life and death are controlled by the royal family, which means they have completely lost their freedom.
This is also the reason why the Thunder Clan of the Ancient Thunder Territory, even though their strength was not as good as Lei Chun's, were unwilling to become the Guardian Clan under the Ancient Clan. Becoming a Guardian Clan can certainly gain the protection of the Ancient Clan and achieve long-term prosperity, but it also loses a lot.
"Fellow Daoist Xuxing, now you know why our lineage cannot let that special treasure fall into the hands of other practitioners, right?" Lei Chun looked at Yang Qi in front of him.
Yang Qi nodded slightly. He could understand why the top leaders of Lei Chun's lineage attached so much importance to that special treasure and even wanted to find it through other practitioners.
"I can understand." Yang Qi glanced at Lei Chun, then changed the subject and said, "But now it's not a question of whether I can understand it or not, but how can I prevent that special treasure from falling into the hands of the ancient clan!"
The ancient clan has Emperor Lei Jie. They can't even deal with him alone, let alone other practitioners. It is absolutely impossible for them to snatch that special treasure from under the ancient clan's nose.
Of the four people in Lei Jie's group before, except for the tall man, the other three cultivators including Emperor Lei Jie were all seen for the first time by Yang Qi and others. Including the two six-star Martial Emperor peak cultivators who had surrounded and killed Lei Chun together with the tall man, there were at least six six-star Martial Emperor peak level cultivators on the side of the ancient clan.
Hearing Yang Qi's words, Lei Chun could not help but fall silent. After a moment, he spoke up, "For now, we can only unite with other six-star Martial Emperor peak practitioners to stop the Ancient Clan from seizing that special treasure. As for the clan, we have already sent some clan members here. High-level Martial Emperors cannot come in, so we can't expect too much."
If we notify the clan now and wait for the clan leaders to dispatch practitioners before coming to the core area of Dark Thunder Gorge, it may not be in time. Even if it is in time, the average six-star Martial Emperor peak practitioner is far from being a match for an existence like Emperor Leijie.
After hearing what Lei Chun said, Yang Qi also understood that in the next battle with the ancient clan, he could only rely on the practitioners in the Dark Thunder Gorge. Thinking of Lei Jie's strength, Yang Qi's face immediately became solemn.
"How many people are there on Emperor Lei Jie's side?" Yang Qi said, looking at Lei Chun in front of him.
Upon hearing this, Lei Chun did not hide anything and spoke directly, "We found a total of ten people, each of whom has reached the peak of the six-star martial emperor level. They should be all the practitioners sent by the ancient clan."
Ten people
Yang Qi's face changed slightly. The Ancient Clan sent so many practitioners, even high-level Martial Emperor practitioners, to come using special means. It was obvious that they were well prepared. It was definitely not an easy task to seize that special treasure from the Ancient Clan.
"Let's leave the core area of Dark Thunder Gorge first and recover from the previous battle. We'll make plans after we meet up with other practitioners." Lei Chun said slowly.
Yang Qi nodded, and the group did not stay any longer. They left the core area of Dark Thunder Gorge and recovered from the previous battle.
While Yang Qi and the others were recovering from their injuries, practitioners from Lei Chun's lineage arrived one after another. In addition to the members of the Thunder Clan, there were also practitioners of the Thunder Clan bloodline like Lei Xian. Obviously, the Ancient Clan had discovered the special treasure first, and with Lei Jie's strength, Lei Chun realized that if he wanted to seize the special treasure, he had to go all out. Therefore, Lei Chun directly mobilized all the six-star martial emperor peak practitioners that the Thunder Clan could mobilize in Dark Thunder Gorge.
These practitioners, plus Yang Qi and his five companions, totaled nearly 20 people, nearly double the number of the Ancient Clan. However, Yang Qi discovered that most of these practitioners were only as strong as Lei Xian, and their individual strength was obviously weaker than that of the Ancient Clan. You should know that whether it was the three practitioners who surrounded and killed Lei Chun before, or the three practitioners who accompanied Emperor Lei Jie to deal with Lei Chun before, their individual strength was much stronger than Lei Xian's level.
Not to mention that the ancient clan also has an Emperor Lei Jie. With the strength of Emperor Lei Jie, even if more than ten practitioners on Lei Chun's side joined forces, they would probably not be the opponent's match.
Therefore, in terms of overall strength, there is still a big gap between Lei Chun's side and the ancient clan. Relying on this little strength, it will definitely not be easy to seize that special treasure.
After everyone gathered, Yang Qi couldn't help but look at Lei Chun who was standing aside, and slowly said, "Daoist Lei Chun, what should we do next? Do you have any plans?"
"That special treasure has a special connection with our clansmen, so our clansmen are more likely to be recognized by that special treasure. It will be difficult for the ancient clan to forcibly seize that special treasure in a short period of time." Lei Chun paused slightly and continued, "Let's take advantage of the time. As for the candidate to seize that special treasure, I plan to let Lei Ning try."
Lei Ning was a six-star Martial Emperor peak cultivator who had arrived not long ago. In terms of strength, he was weaker than Lei Chun, but stronger than Lei Xian and others. In addition, he had never met the cultivators from the ancient clan, so it was undoubtedly the most appropriate person for Lei Ning to seize the treasure.
"As long as we get the treasure, we will immediately withdraw from the core area of Dark Thunder Gorge. Other practitioners will then meet us in the inner area." Lei Chun said in a deep voice.
Support
Yang Qi raised his eyebrows. The so-called support was probably to delay the practitioners of the ancient clan at all costs, so as to buy time for Lei Chun and others who had seized the special treasure to leave. These practitioners were undoubtedly cannon fodder.
However, this is an internal matter of Lei Chun's lineage. Although Yang Qi is reluctant, he has no better way. After all, the strength of Emperor Lei Jie is too strong. If they don't find cultivators to hold him back, it will be difficult for them to escape from him.
"Fellow Daoist Lei Chun, your plan is good, but the key is how to seize that special treasure from under the nose of the ancient clan and how to safely evacuate the core area of Dark Thunder Gorge!" Yang Qi said, looking at Lei Chun in front of him.
