"Uncle Lei!" Feng Chen turned his head hurriedly and saw Lei Gong. He thought all the problems were solved, but there was no figure of Emperor Chunqiu behind him. He immediately realized that something must have happened below. Lei Gong jumped out alone, and as for his master, Grandpa Luo, he might still be trying hard to solve the problem.

"Hall Master." Long Tiexin reacted and realized that since the Spring and Autumn Emperor had not shown up, there must be some big trouble. Now that the hall master appeared, he must be here to find a solution.

"Yeah." Lei Gong slowly descended, and without rushing to do anything else, he first lectured Feng Chen: "You are too stubborn, you will suffer in the future."

Feng Chen nodded after listening. He had a special relationship with Lei Gong, so he listened to him. However, he had already made up his mind. Regarding Bai Yu's matter, no one could persuade him now. So after nodding, he looked up and asked, "Uncle Lei, do you want me to go back to the South Sea first too?"

Lei Gong shook his head: "No, some things still need to be done, but we must think clearly about the consequences."

Feng Chen nodded again. He understood that Lei Gong supported him in doing this, and out of concern, he reminded him not to be too emotional. So he quickly agreed, "Don't worry, Uncle Lei. I know the rules of Luoshen Peak. Without Xuan-level cultivation, you can't enter. Once everything is settled, I will go and improve my cultivation. I won't be back for a year or two. Then I will go to Luoshen Peak to find out what's going on."

"Well, it's good that you know how to advance and retreat. Go ahead, go to the Thunder Pool first. Old Master Luo has something to ask you." Lei Gong nodded and waved his hand to open a small path leading directly to the bottom of the Thunder Pool.

Feng Chen took a look and vaguely saw a figure, who was very sloppy. It was his master Luo Hongchen, who was busy as if repairing something.

"Okay, I'll go down right now. I just happen to have some questions I want to ask him." Feng Chen said, and jumped down. With the help of thunder power, he didn't have to be afraid of the purple sky divine thunder in the thunder pool, and went straight to the bottom.

This time was different from before. There was no protection from the Immortal Absolute Array. Although he had learned the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Art and could strengthen his soul, his cultivation was still too weak. Without the suppression of the Purple Sky Divine Thunder, he would surely be swallowed up if he rushed in rashly. That was why Lei Gong opened the way with one finger and helped him create a direct path.

After a while, Fengchen's figure vaguely appeared next to Luo Hongchen. Lei Gong nodded and waved his hand. The path disappeared and could not be seen outside the thunder pool. His divine consciousness was also blocked. Lei Gong did this to avoid suspicion. He didn't know what Luo Hongchen was going to say to Fengchen, what it involved, and whether the people at the scene could hear it. But no matter what, whether Luo Hongchen allowed him to listen or not was his business, and whether you listened or not was your attitude. The two seemed the same, but in fact there was a big difference. This was a question of etiquette.

Besides, Lei Gong had experienced what happened to Lei Xiao, and he had become more cautious. Although those who came were there to help, who knew if there was someone like Lei Xiao hiding among them? Lei Gong couldn't guarantee it. After all, Lei Xiao had been his brother for so many years and he could still do that. Even though the people who came now were friends, Lei Gong couldn't guarantee it either.

"Brother, how are you now?" Lei Teng came over at this time, and seeing Lei Gong staring at Lei Chi as if he had something on his mind, he thought the problem was difficult to solve, but he guessed right, Lei Gong did not say it clearly.

"Don't worry, Mr. Luo is repairing it." Lei Gong's words were vague. He didn't say what the details were or when it would be repaired, but it sounded like a matter of time.

"Uncle Lei, I understand your worries." Feng Chen was grateful for Lei Gong's concern and knew his concerns. He was well aware of Lei Gong's wisdom and experience and knew that he would not act without a purpose, so he decided to go to Lei Chi first to communicate with Grandpa Luo and understand the situation.

"Go ahead. Remember, no matter what happens, stay calm and don't let your emotions affect your judgment." Lei Gong reminded Feng Chen earnestly. He knew Feng Chen's potential and ability very well, but he was also aware of his impulsiveness and stubbornness. He hoped that Feng Chen would become more mature and stable in the future.

Fengchen nodded. He knew Lei Gong's teachings and also knew that he still had a lot to grow in. He decided to treat this experience as an important test to make himself stronger and smarter.

"Uncle Lei, I will remember your words." Feng Chen said, turned around and walked towards Lei Chi, his steps firm and powerful, showing his confidence and determination for the future.

Lei Gong looked at Fengchen's back, his heart full of expectation and hope. He knew that Fengchen would be the future hope of the Lei family. He believed that Fengchen could overcome all difficulties and become a true strong man.

Lei Gong, Lei Teng, and Long Tiexin all flashed with realization, a touch of worry. They knew that while the plan to repair the Thunder Pond sounded promising, it carried significant risks. This repair might only be a temporary fix. A true resolution to this crisis would likely require considerable effort, perhaps even a price to pay.

However, Lei Gong didn't bring this up in front of everyone, but Long Tiexin immediately understood what he meant and suggested, "Thunderbolt Hall has been in turmoil lately, thanks to everyone's help. The Hall Master has stepped in now, but Old Man Luo might not be able to handle it for a while. Why don't we go to the Purple Sky Hall first and sit down, giving Thunderbolt Hall a chance to thank everyone properly."

As soon as Long Tiexin finished speaking, he took the lead in making a gesture of invitation, pointing to the front mountain. The cold expression on his face was replaced by a faint smile and full of gratitude, inviting everyone to go to the front mountain together.

Lei Gong also pointed to the front mountain and said, "That's right. Tieya, go and prepare first. Everyone, follow me to the main hall."

As Lei Gong finished his words, he moved gracefully, followed by the Cangyun and Yaochi teams. Bai Xiyuan, along with the Bai family's men, glanced at the Thunder Pond and quickly caught up. Fairy Ji Yao also nodded, then gestured to Lei Teng, leaving Fairy Bai Lu to temporarily heal her wounds by the Thunder Pond.

She did this for two reasons. First, as the Immortal Master of the Dao, Lei Teng wouldn't easily leave the Thunder Pond unless absolutely necessary, so naturally he wouldn't participate in the reception. Second, Bai Lu couldn't move right now, so staying here was perfect for any potential situation. Furthermore, Fairy Ji Yao wanted to talk to Feng Chen, but Luo Hongchen got there first, so she didn't say anything more. Bai Lu stayed behind to pick her up when she left and talk with Feng Chen, who would likely leave after the Thunder Pond event was over.

As for Martial Saint Jiang He, he felt a bit guilty the moment he showed up, feeling like he hadn't been of much help and had nearly messed up the arrangements. Furthermore, he wasn't good at socializing, so he chose not to go between the halls. After exchanging signals with Lei Gong, he decided to stay and wait for his master to come out, along with Lei Teng.

To cut a long story short, in the Purple Sky Hall, the guests and hosts took their seats, and the disciples of the Thunderbolt Hall served a feast. Lei Gong also expressed his gratitude several times, and after half a cup of tea, without waiting for the banquet to begin, Bai Xiyuan spoke first: "Master Lei, my father has instructed me that if Chen'er can successfully build up his meridians and strengthen his blood vessels, the Cang Yun Sect will be very grateful. However, regarding his cultivation, my father intends to teach him personally. Now that the major issue of the Thunderbolt Hall has been resolved, there is still much work to be done. The Cang Yun Sect will not bother you any further this time. Please have someone call Chen'er back so that I can take him back to the South Sea."

Lei Gong stood up and tried to persuade him to stay, saying, "Brother Bai, you've come all this way and worked hard. I, Lei Gong, haven't treated you well yet. Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Bai Xiyuan quickly waved his hand: "Master Lei, you are too polite. The relationship between our two families is more than just friendship. Why should we care about those conventional etiquette? It is indeed inappropriate to disturb you now. There is still a long time to come. I will come to bother you again in the future."

Seeing that he was determined to leave, Lei Gong stopped talking and said, "Since that's the case, I won't force you to stay. But as for Chen'er, Old Master Luo has personally instructed that after repairing the Thunder Pond, he has important matters to attend to with him. He said that after that, he will personally send him back to the South Sea."

"Well... well, since Mr. Luo has something to ask for, I have no choice but to report truthfully. I believe my father will understand. Well, I'll take my leave now. Please stay, Hall Master Lei." Bai Xiyuan said as he clasped his hands together, saluted Lei Gong and Fairy Ji Yao in turn, then turned around and left with the people from Cangyun Sect who came this time.

Lei Gong hurriedly stepped forward to see him off. Even though Bai Xiyuan asked him to stay, Lei Gong could not be impolite. After all, the other party came to support him, and he could not let him feel disappointed.

After everyone left the hall, Bai Xiyuan stopped and turned around, once again clasping his fists with Lei Gong. "Master Lei, please stay. I and the others will be leaving now."

With that, he transformed into a stream of light and headed straight for the South Sea, followed closely by the Cang Yun Sect's entourage. They had arrived in a hurry, and they left just as quickly. Lei Gong watched them leave, his eyes fixed on the clouds. He didn't turn back until all the light faded. Meanwhile, a hint of embarrassment crossed his face. He glanced at Fairy Ji Yao and stood at the doorway for a moment, not entering the hall.

Fairy Ji Yao's sixth sense told her that something big was about to happen. So, she immediately understood and said, "Master Lei, please wait a moment. I'm extremely concerned about Bai Lu's injury. Also, I have a message from my great-grandmaster, Master Gu Yuan, for Mr. Luo. Please take me there. Once I've finished speaking with Mr. Luo, I'll take my disciple back to heal."

"Okay." Lei Gong nodded, then turned to Long Tiexin and said, "Tie girl, you should treat them well. Sister Ji Yao and I will be back soon."

"As you command," Long Tiexin agreed, standing up. He then turned and ordered his disciples to prepare a banquet. The Yao Chi lineage rarely traveled, and their visit to the Thunderbolt Hall was for emergency assistance. Despite the rarity of interaction between the two families, Long Tiexin showed great hospitality after Lei Gong and Ji Yao left, leaving the remaining eight members of the Nine Heavens Primordial Lord feeling somewhat embarrassed. They had been saying they were being overly polite.

In the blink of an eye, Lei Gong and Ji Yao landed outside the Thunder Pool. After they settled, Lei Teng spoke first, "Brother, I wasn't able to elaborate just now. Do you have any special instructions?"

Suspicion lingered in his words, and Fairy Ji Yao turned around. She was a perceptive person, and had a close friendship with Lei Gong, so she had also heard the clues in Lei Gong's earlier words. Now, she too was filled with doubt. Even the Martial Saint Jiang He, standing beside him, sensed something was amiss and gave him a questioning look.

Lei Gong looked at the three of them, seemingly at a loss. He waited for a long moment without saying anything, then sighed deeply. He extended his hand and sent out a bolt of lightning, which transformed into a light shield that enveloped Fairy Bai Lu, preventing her from hearing any sounds from the outside world. He then spoke, "Alas, it's truly difficult to begin. That demonic hill destroyed the formation, and now its devouring power is endlessly consuming the thunder pool. The immortal vein power of Thunder Mountain is gradually draining away. If this continues, the Thunderbolt Hall may need to relocate, and the people of Thunder Mountain and all the creatures here would likely be affected. Furthermore, we still don't know what's sealed within the formation. If it were released, the entire world would be in trouble."

Lei Gong had roughly pinpointed the key to the problem, and the three of them understood and began to worry. But Fairy Ji Yao knew that Lei Gong had intended to keep her because he likely had a solution to the problem, and it likely involved her. So, she immediately asked, "Old Master Luo has been in seclusion for so long. Is there any way he's working on a fix?"

"Yes, there are two ways to go at the moment." Lei Gong answered directly.

"I wonder if Master Lei could elaborate?" Martial Saint Jiang He pressed on. He was concerned, both for the inhabitants here and for his teacher. After all, Lei Gong had said that the Thunder Pool seemed to harbor a great danger. His teacher hadn't come out, and given his master's style, if this problem couldn't be resolved, he wouldn't shy away. Even if he died here, he would do his utmost to resolve it. This was his biggest concern, and so, in his impatience, he seemed even more anxious than the others.

Lei Gong nodded: "Of course I can explain in detail. There are two options, one is the best option, the other is the worst option. The best option is to seal the formation and cut off its devouring power, which can ensure the temporary safety of Leiming Mountain. As for the future, Mr. Luo has already made it very clear. Naturally, there will be others who can break this formation and resolve the crisis. As for the worst option..."

Lei Gong paused, then continued, "The worst option is to completely wipe it out, but the price would be the complete destruction of Thunder Mountain, and the Fuyang Mountains would also suffer heavy damage, and naturally, the Thunderbolt Hall would not be spared. Before destroying it, we must relocate our sect and find another place to open up the mountain, and all the creatures here must also be evacuated first."

Lei Gong shook his head after he finished speaking. He had always been aloof and arrogant, and he would fight to the death without frowning, but there were some things he was reluctant to say to his friends. However, the crisis was imminent, and because of Long Tiexin, no matter how difficult it was, he had to bite the bullet and speak out.

However, despite his many roundabout ways, he didn't get to the specific point. Fairy Ji Yao was incredibly clever, and she understood Lei Gong's words after only half of hearing them. So, after Lei Gong finished, she asked directly, "Master Lei, what do you need from me? Or do you need help from Yao Chi?"

Lei Gong was uncharacteristically reluctant, and after waiting for a moment, he nodded, "I do need your Yao Chi's help."

"Master Lei, please give your orders. We, the Yao Chi lineage, will not object." Fairy Ji Yao said firmly.
