Hammer in her left hand, sword in her right, the eldest sister is connected to both worlds.

As Jing Tonghu's family left, Xue Tong was about to ask if the Phoenix Clan was moving a bit slowly when she saw a patch of sunset spreading across the sky. Crimson clouds transformed into ribbons that drifted down from the horizon and landed right at Xue Lan's feet.

Several beautiful phoenixes landed, transformed into human form, and bowed to Xue Lan in unison.

"Greetings, Lord Changjun."

Xue Tong: So you came early and were hiding.

Zhu Lingzhi, standing to the side, tugged at her sleeve and transmitted his voice, "That's how birds and beasts in the upper realm are. I can associate with them in private, but my family elders treat it as if meeting them would shorten their lifespan, so we won't meet except for grand events."

Xue Tong leaned close to her ear: "Let Xue Lan back you up. Don't do this now that you're the clan leader."

Zhu Lingzhi couldn't help but smile: "Thank you, Miss Xiaotong."

Leading the Phoenix Clan was the old clan chief, with a red beard reaching his chest. He had a kind and benevolent appearance, and his voice was calm and even: "Knowing that Your Excellency desires Vermilion Bird Spirit Iron, this old man has brought some with me."

Xue Lan glanced behind her and saw a mountain of spirit iron.

"Actually, there's no need for that; I can dig it myself."

"No, no, no!" the old man said, his beard trembling. "How can we let the adults do it themselves?"

If we let this person in front of us do it himself, do we even want the Phoenix Clan's sacred ground to exist?

Xue Lan sighed and couldn't help but chirp to Xue Tong, "They've demonized me too much. All I did was carve up a mountain in the Phoenix Clan's sacred land. I really lost money."

It's not just a few, it's an entire area.

Xue Tong stepped forward and pulled Xue Lan aside: "Let's grab the stuff and go, those guys at the back have all exploded!"

Xue Lan glanced at it and sure enough, there were several burst red bird balls at the very back.

Xue Lan: That works too.

Since Zhu Lingzhi's matter has already been explained, there's no need to bully the bird here anymore.

So, Lord Wolf, with a warm smile on his face, exchanged pleasantries with the old patriarch of the Phoenix Clan, and then left with Xue Tong, heading north.

After the two figures disappeared into the horizon and their presence was completely concealed within Flame Spirit City, the Phoenix Clan Elder suddenly spoke:

"She's talking so strangely. Is the Phoenix Clan doomed?"

"Achoo!"

Hundreds of miles away, the Wolf King, high in the clouds, suddenly sneezed. With a quick calculation, she knew who was sneezing behind her back.

"Wasn't I already being gentle? Why are you still talking about me behind my back?"

Holding the little soul guide, Xue Tong put herself in the other person's shoes, then spoke coolly:

"I guess they feel you've suddenly changed."

The evil spirit from a thousand years ago suddenly started speaking normally, which is something no normal person can accept.

Xue Lan nodded: "It's okay, I'll try my best to get them used to it."

Xue Tong couldn't help but laugh at the thought that many tribes in the Upper Realm would encounter completely different wolf-type chieftains.

And he was holding up a candle while laughing.

Xue Lan was extremely fast in the upper realm. The two flew above the clouds for two days, dodging the exquisite cities along the way, and finally stopped in front of a thundercloud.

Lord Wolf pointed at the thunderclouds: "We've arrived at Lei Chuxi's house."

Little Tong poked her head out from the cloud: "Isn't this a bit wrong of us? Why are we only picking at the little birds?"

Lord Wolf spoke calmly:

"It was requested by Zhu Lingzhi."

Xue Tong suddenly felt no guilt, and instead became eager to try: "Let's go!"

Sure enough, once you have someone to take the blame, you don't feel tired no matter what bad things you do.

Outside Leipeng City, there is a lot of wind and sand, and lightning strikes from above from time to time.

As soon as Xue Lan landed, she erected a protective barrier, and then was struck by lightning with a crackling sound.

Xue Tong looked at the intertwined lightning outside, somewhat puzzled: "Why do I feel like this lightning is targeting you?"

"I don't know. There's probably some kind of behind-the-scenes manipulator."

In the endless void, there was peace and tranquility. The white-robed youth moved his left fingertips slightly, manipulating the lightning. He paused slightly upon hearing this.

Then it was switched to being operated with two hands.

The lightning outside the protective barrier became even more intense, creating a spectacular sight outside Leipeng City.

Xue Tong knew who was angry and couldn't help but cover her ears: "He's so childish."

Xue Lan said in a cheeky tone:

"They're just kids, I can understand."

Her response was met with even more violent thunder, which alarmed the city lord's mansion.

"Young City Lord!"

There is unusual activity outside the city.

"Speak properly, what's with the panicked manner!"

Lei Yuncheng originally planned to take advantage of the recent free time to have a good chat with his grandson and reassure him that it was okay not to become the head of the Wan Gong Fang.

Just as the grandfather and grandson finished brewing tea, a loud and boisterous man came in from outside.

"My lord, please forgive me. Someone outside the city is forcibly entering the Thunder Realm, which has triggered lightning within a radius of a hundred miles. I really don't know what to do."

"They're probably some rogue cultivators who don't know the rules." Lei Yuncheng put down his teacup and looked at Lei Chuxi to the side.

"Xi'er, go out and take a look, lest you get struck by lightning."

"Yes!"

Lei Chuxi followed his subordinates to the top of the city wall, where they could see a dark ball of lightning steadily moving forward toward Leipeng City.

and many more……

The young man sensed something was wrong.

Dark lightning!

The last time he saw pitch-black lightning was when someone in the lower realm used demonic souls to forge and imbue artifacts, which cleaved the entire world of the Myriad Crafts Workshop in two.

It can't really be her, can it? This is the upper realm.

Raising his hand to cast a spell and open his Heavenly Eye, Lei Chuxi looked into the depths of the lightning sphere. But after just one glance, his divine sense felt as if it were being held in the grasp of some powerful force, and all the feathers on his body stood on end.

"Hey, someone's watching us!"

Lei Chuxi's gaze seemed to be pulled along, finally meeting a familiar smiling face.

"Lei Chuxi, I've come to play with you!"

The young man suppressed his shock: "Who brought you up here? Are you crazy? How dare you force your way in?"

Xue Lan's voice, tinged with laughter, came through: "Can't I? I used to do this all the time!"

Perhaps due to his concern, Lei Chuxi didn't hear the second half of Xue Lan's sentence. He quickly took out his identity jade seal and deactivated the formation.

He had said he would invite her, and he couldn't bring himself to let his friend die outside the door.

However, it turns out that he couldn't even get rid of the Thunder.

The formation stopped operating, but the lightning outside the city continued unabated, becoming even more intense.

"Xue Lan!"

Lei Chuxi shouted into her voice, "What did you do?"

"I don't know, I didn't do anything!"

"I might be someone who incurs divine wrath!"

A woman's voice, accompanied by the crackling of thunder, reached Lei Chuxi's ears. Lei Chuxi wondered if she was hallucinating, but the woman seemed to be laughing!

She even dared to laugh!

"Don't do anything, just stand there! I'm going to find someone to rescue you."

Just as the young man turned to go back, he heard a sword cry from behind him!

A deep, resonant sword cry, heavy as a mountain!

Golden sword light shot out diagonally from the thunder sphere, and the towering sword shadow turned all the dark lightning into dust, tearing a large hole in the clouds above the thunder realm.

Bright sunlight fell, passing through the phantom of the giant sword, through the lingering electric sparks, and finally landing on a person.

Xue Lan stood amidst a patch of scorched, black earth, a small, chubby sword in her right hand pointing towards the sky, her sleeve tattered and torn.

Lei Pengcheng's young lord rubbed his temples, then leaped down from the city wall and walked towards Xue Lan and the other person.

The probing spiritual energy landed on Xue Lan and Xue Tong, confirming that she was alive, and only then did Lei Chuxi feel relieved and begin to output energy:

"Who brought you here? Would it kill you to properly present your visiting card and knock on the door?"

"Don't worry, everyone's alive!" Xue Lan grabbed Xue Tong from behind and spun her around in front of Lei Chuxi, making the little girl face him.

Xue Tong laughed awkwardly: "She probably thinks it looks cool this way!"

"It's not..."

Xue Lan disagreed, saying, "The main problem is that I came alone and didn't know how to knock on the door. Besides, I never used to."

Lei Chuxi was almost laughing out of anger at this person: "Before? This is your first time..."

"Xier!"

Behind him came his grandfather's authoritative voice, and Lei Chuxi saw Xue Lan's lips curl into a smile:

"Ask your grandfather when he arrives!"

“Lord Lei!” she shouted, “Tell him when I sent him my visiting card.”

Lei Yuncheng's face was even more ashen than the dark thunderclouds above. The old man bowed reluctantly towards Xue Lan before speaking:

"There's no need for Lord Changjun to come!"
