Digging up spiritual roots and seizing blood? You scumbags, wait and tremble.

"Stop it, or we'll kill them!" Someone rushed towards Zhong Yuanzhe, trying to subdue him to threaten the others.

Zhong Ran flashed and appeared next to the man, kicking him away.

At the same time, sending Zhong Yuanzhe and the others to the side, away from the battlefield, reduced the pressure somewhat.

"Ah Sheng, stop using that hammer. You've smashed so much flesh away," Yun Tianyu reminded Ah Sheng after catching his breath.

Ah Sheng exclaimed, not quite understanding.

He was still looking around for the four people from before, hoping to collect the loot, but the hammer was gone.

Zhong Ran was both amused and exasperated: "They've all been smashed to pieces, so you're out of food."

Ah Sheng asked her with a long face, "Why did this happen?"

"This hammer was too powerful; these things couldn't withstand its pressure, which is why they're gone."

Didn't I remind you to avoid using it if possible?

Ah Sheng pouted, "They're all bad people. They hit my cousin Tianyu and the others. I'm angry."

"So, when you get angry, you don't even want meat anymore."

"Sister, it's not that I didn't want it, I didn't know it would turn out like this."

"Now you know, right? Use it less often in the future."

Ah Sheng gave an "oh," obediently put away the sledgehammer, and took out a spiked club: "Can this be used?"

"This can be used; there's no need to completely destroy things."

He charged at the group, brandishing his spiked club, shouting, "Hand over everything you have, or I'll kill you!"

How could those people possibly obey orders? They turned and ran, heading deep into the forest.

Those who were originally besieging Zhong Yan and Mu Jinning turned and fled after discovering the abnormality of these people.

Ah Sheng went after them; these people must have some good food on them.

Mu Jinning and Zhong Yan also gave chase, their figures flashing and disappearing, growing faster and faster.

They became more and more skilled at teleportation, using it with ease.

The two young men and the woman opposite Zhong Ran stared at her with darkened faces.

"Who are you?"

Jealousy flashed in the woman's eyes. Zhong Ran looked younger than her, but judging from the speed and strength of her attack, she was far superior to herself.

Moreover, she was accompanied by a Nascent Soul Realm expert, so her status and position must be extraordinary.

Zhong Ran just stared at her coldly without saying a word.

If she weren't worried about Zhong Yuanheng and the others, she would have wanted to follow them.

With the pressure lessened, Yun Tianyu and the others also went to chase after the enemy.

However, their skills in achieving the Nascent Soul stage were far inferior to those of Mu Jinning and Zhong Yan, and they were no match for others; they simply couldn't catch up.

After a few people were injured and captured by Zhong Yan and his two companions, the rest escaped; there should have been seven or eight of them.

Uncle Lei and Lou Ying were locked in a fierce battle, but at this moment, Uncle Lei had no time to fight anymore and quickly returned to the three young men.

A battle of their caliber is not easy to determine a winner.

After discovering the strength of Ah Sheng and his two companions, fearing they might harm the two young men and the woman, they hurried back.

"We are from the Lei family of the Lei City Lord's Mansion. Who are you, daring to kill people here at will?"

When Uncle Lei saw that several people had died, his eyes widened in fury. He glared at them, wishing he could raise his hand and slap Zhong Yan and his little brats to death.

However, he was somewhat wary and did not dare to kill directly.

Moreover, there's also Lou Ying.

"The people in the city lord's mansion are all bandits? This is the first time I've heard of such a thing."

Mu Jinning sneered, "We won't offend others unless they offend us, but we're not afraid if someone comes to us willingly."

Uncle Lei raised his hand in anger; no one had ever dared to speak to him like that before.

However, just as he raised his hand, Lou Ying appeared, raising her hand at the same time and staring at the three young people he was protecting.

Uncle Lei didn't dare to make a move after all. He took the three of them away and left behind a sentence that echoed in the air.

"Just wait for me."

Elder Fang and the others walked over and said softly, "We're not afraid of them. There's also a Array Master Guild in Thunder City. We can seek protection from the Array Master Guild."

In particular, Zhong Ran and Mu Jinning are both geniuses in formations and are protected by the Formation Masters Guild.

"I wasn't scared." Zhong Ran turned to look at Lou Ying: "Are you alright?"

"Thank you for your concern, Miss. It's nothing."

"Since everything is alright, let's go."

Old Cheng asked, "Shall we go straight into the city, or head to Thunder Mountain?"

Thunder City doesn't mean that there are countless bolts of lightning spreading within the city. If that were the case, who would dare to live there, and who could endure it?

Rather, it was because there was a Thunder Mountain nearby, where lightning flashed all year round. Many cultivators went there to explore, and some cultivators with lightning spiritual roots also went there to cultivate, which gradually made them famous.

"I'm heading to Thunder Mountain. You can wait for me in the city."

Zhong Ran came specifically for Thunder Mountain, so she'll definitely head there first to see if she's close to advancing in rank.

"In that case, let's go together and witness the power of Thunder Mountain."

All cultivators eventually need to undergo tribulation by lightning, so it's good to get to experience it earlier.

How many cultivators have toiled their entire lives only to die under the tribulation of lightning?

Zhong Yuanheng and the others also agreed, wanting to go to Thunder Mountain to witness the true power of thunder.

They had hardly ever encountered cultivators with the Thunder Spirit Root; it was only with Uncle Lei from earlier that they had used it.

But they weren't directly confronted, and Zhong Ran resolved the situation.

So, following the map's directions, instead of entering the city, they changed direction and headed towards Thunder Mountain.

Thunder Mountain is actually quite far from Thunder City. It was originally built by a group of cultivators who were undergoing training, just like Black Wind City back then.

This place is also composed of many forces, among which the most powerful force is the Lei family of the City Lord's Mansion.

Secondly, various guilds, merchant associations, mercenary groups, and many other miscellaneous forces gathered around and formed the powerful Thunder City we know today.

At this moment, a roar resounded throughout the city lord's mansion, deafeningly loud.

"What did you say? My Haiye was killed, and even his primordial spirit couldn't escape?"

The white-haired old man in the purple robe glared angrily at Uncle Lei: "What's wrong with you? You can't even protect a few people?"

Uncle Lei's expression was also not good; this time it was indeed his dereliction of duty.

However, he never expected that those two or three young people would possess such abilities, capable of killing their people and even capturing their primordial spirits.

"There was a Nascent Soul cultivator with them, and the three young people among them were quite strong. Their moves seemed simple, but they were extremely lethal."

They were too arrogant. Seeing that most of them were young people, they had designs on them, but they didn't expect to run into a brick wall this time.

But that's not what they want; they want revenge.

Who are they? Where are they right now?

Uncle Lei went out to check again, and that group of people was no longer there.

"They've left, and we don't know where they are yet. If I'm not mistaken, they've most likely headed to Thunder Mountain."

Those people were clearly here for training; they were ignorant fools who dared to oppose the City Lord's Mansion.

"Very well! I will make them pay for their crimes in blood!" The old man left with those words.

Two more elderly men followed them away. Since the other side also had powerful individuals, they couldn't be careless.
