Chapter 75

In the midst of the thunderstorm, Ge Lu, Tai Po Po, Anyadan, Yan Wu, and Lei Xingfeng, who had been following Lei Bao, all walked out together.

When Lei Bao saw Stanor clearly, he couldn't help but frown. He couldn't sense Stanor's strength, which was very rare. With his cultivation, he could usually roughly guess the strength of any cultivator. Could this person's strength be higher than his own? He immediately became wary.

His gaze shifted to Yi Datong, and Lei Bao said indifferently, "So it's you!" He knew Yi Datong.

Yi Datong was also extremely surprised. He couldn't gauge Lei Bao's strength either. In recent years, his strength had increased significantly. Before coming, he had estimated that even if he couldn't defeat Lei Bao, he could at least put up a fight. He never expected that after so many years, this irritable old man's strength had also improved greatly. However, with Stanor here, he felt very reassured.

Stanor was equally surprised. He could only vaguely sense Lei Bao's cultivation, which gave him a sense of wildness. He couldn't probe the depths either. His expression was calm as he said, "You are Lei Bao?" In an instant, he had changed his mind and decided not to solve the problem by force.

Lei Bao asked, "Who are you?"

Stanor replied, "Stanor, the True Person of the Blue Seal."

Lei Bao stood steadily and said, "No wonder you have such a big attitude."

The others, including Ge Lu, couldn't help but take a step back. It was too scary. With their knowledge, it was the first time they had seen a top-tier True Person, a True Person of the Ninth Ring. Such people might exist on this continent, but they had never seen one alive before.

Stanor wasn't angry. He said, "You're not far off either. I guess... you are at least a True Person of the Heart Seal! Just a step away from being like me."

This was even more frightening. Yan Wu, Ge Lu, Tai Po Po, and Anyadan all showed extreme shock. No one had expected the old man to be so deeply hidden. Lei Xingfeng was also shocked. He had always been guessing how strong his grandfather was, but he never imagined it would be to this extent.

Lei Bao said, "Not as strong as you."

Yi Datong's face turned pale. He never imagined that Lei Bao's cultivation had far surpassed his. He couldn't help but feel fortunate that he had come with Stanor. If he had come alone, he would have been killed.

If Lei Bao were just a True Person of the Seventh Ring, a True Person of the Wild Seal, Stanor would have captured him without hesitation. But a True Person of the Eighth Ring, a True Person of the Heart Seal, was a different story. Especially since Lei Bao was a lightning cultivator, his attack was absolutely powerful, and his attribute was a counter to Stanor's.

Stanor was a dark attribute cultivator, and his attacks were also extremely powerful. However, dark attributes were naturally countered by lightning and light attributes. Whenever possible, he would kill cultivators of these attributes to reduce the threat they posed to him. He had killed countless lightning and light attribute cultivators in his life.

But since Lei Bao had reached the level of a True Person of the Heart Seal, he couldn't be killed easily. If he were to fight Lei Bao, he might win, but he couldn't capture him. Having such an enemy without being able to kill him was something he didn't want.

Lei Bao said, "You captured Tairang?"

Yi Datong shouted, "Tairang, that waste of space, doesn't need to be captured by a senior. Anyone could have caught him." He wanted to incite Stanor to fight Lei Bao, and he had already noticed that Stanor was hesitating.

A hint of regret flashed through Stanor's mind. He realized he had been careless. If he had brought Sun Budu, he would have won for sure. He never imagined that Lei Bao was a True Person of the Heart Seal. This was a bit troublesome, but he wasn't afraid. After all, his level was higher than Lei Bao's. Even if Lei Bao's attribute countered his, he didn't think he would lose in a fight. As for the others, they were just like chickens and dogs to him, not worth mentioning.

Lei Bao said, "Let him go!" After all, Tairang was his friend.

Stanor's face darkened, and he said, "Whether to release him... is none of your business."

Lei Bao nodded. He didn't expect Stanor to release Tairang. He had already decided to escape. As long as he could really leave, with the treasure he had obtained and the secret of cultivating in the rain, he had absolute confidence in advancing to the level of a True Person of the Blue Seal. He was already at the edge of advancing, but due to lack of time to cultivate, he was temporarily stuck at this bottleneck. Fighting with Stanor here was an unwise move.

He was no longer in the age of hot blood, and he wouldn't rush into a fight just because of a few words. At this moment, he somewhat understood Tairang's feelings. Some things had to be done.

Only by escaping would Stanor not dare to really kill Tairang. Offending a True Person of the Heart Seal was not a light matter. Who knew when a True Person of the Heart Seal would advance to a True Person of the Blue Seal. After the Ninth Ring, conflicts between True Persons of the Blue Seal were rare, with countless considerations. A True Person of the Blue Seal could control many True Persons, and a conflict between them could easily involve their subordinates.

A True Person of the Ninth Ring, once they started killing, could do so as easily as slaughtering chickens and dogs. This was why Stanor was hesitant. If Sun Budu were here, a True Person of the Eighth Ring and a True Person of the Ninth Ring working together would have a good chance of capturing a True Person of the Heart Seal. This made Stanor very regretful.

Yi Datong shouted, "What are you? You dare to ask a senior to release someone!"

Lei Bao stared at him and said, "Yi Datong, very well, don't let me run into you in the future!" His tone was very light, but it was extremely threatening.

Yi Datong immediately fell silent. A wave of regret washed over him. Stanor didn't care about the other party, but he did. Once Stanor wasn't around, Lei Bao could crush him like an ant.

Lei Xingfeng noticed that the more powerful a True Person was, the more cautious they were about fighting, and the less likely they were to act rashly. Given Lei Bao's character and temperament, the fact that he was still talking now showed how much he was holding back.

Stanor said, "You must have obtained a lot of things this time..."

Lei Bao replied, "That's right, I got a lot. What do you plan to do? Treat us like Tairang? Capture us and force us to reveal everything?"

Stanor's face showed a trademark smile. He said, "Of course not. My subordinates now control the entire Qiansha Barrier. In other words, everything found in the Qiansha Barrier is mine... I believe we can make a deal, how about it?"

Lei Bao, an old hand, had seen all kinds of plots and schemes. He smiled and said, "Not interested. I have what I need, no need to go further."

Stanor thought to himself, "Old fox!" If he could trick Lei Bao into coming back, even if he were a True Person of the Heart Seal, he would be doomed, or worse.

Yi Datong also thought it was a pity. He immediately understood Stanor's intentions.

Stanor said, "I don't know if you have the Star Python Record? If you do... I hope to exchange it..." He thought it was impossible, then added, "Well, if not, I can give you a copy... I will give you the price for the exchange."

Lei Bao found it amusing. Giving him the Star Python Record would have serious consequences. Once he broke through, he and Stanor wouldn't be friends. He said, "I didn't get the Star Python Record. If I had, I would have left long ago." The reason he hadn't left wasn't this, but he spoke naturally and sincerely, without any sign of lying. The only one who knew he had the Star Python Record was Lei Xingfeng.

Lei Xingfeng was extremely impressed. He never expected his grandfather to be such a good liar. Even he almost believed it, but he knew clearly that Lei Bao had not only obtained the Star Python Record but more than one.

Stanor's face became increasingly dark. He said, "You don't have it?" He didn't believe it, knowing the old man was lying, but he had no better way to make him reveal it.

Lei Bao said, "I don't have it!"

Stanor finally couldn't hold back. He really needed it, and he was willing to offend a True Person of the Heart Seal for it. He said, "If we fight, how many of these people around you can survive?"

Lei Bao said, "Are you threatening me?"

Stanor replied straightforwardly, "Of course!"

Lei Bao's face darkened. He said, "You can try!" He also wanted to fight Stanor. He knew he was about to advance, just one step away from the Ninth Ring. With his lightning attribute, his attack was extremely powerful. He didn't believe he would be helpless against Stanor.

Yan Wu immediately grabbed Lei Xingfeng and quickly retreated into the night camp, with Tai Po Po and Anyadan protecting him on both sides, also retreating into the night camp. Only Ge Lu faced Yi Datong, blocking the way, while Lei Bao stood in front of Stanor. Both sides almost immediately attacked without hesitation.

Lei Bao's mind relaxed slightly because of Yan Wu's quick thinking, which immediately relieved the greatest crisis. This was because Stanor didn't know the specific situation. If he had captured Lei Xingfeng, Lei Bao would have been in trouble. That was his greatest weakness.

Stanor and Lei Bao attacked simultaneously.

Ge Lu and Yi Datong also attacked simultaneously.

Stanor attacked Ge Lu, while Lei Bao attacked Yi Datong. Both had the same goal, to sneak attack first and then continue the fight. Both aimed to injure their opponents with one move.

Yi Datong was directly hit by a thick bolt of lightning from Lei Bao and was thrown back, while Ge Lu was also hit and kept spitting blood.

Lei Bao shouted, "Ge Lu, take them and go!" He forcefully exchanged a punch with Stanor.

Boom!

Ge Lu, clutching his chest, staggered into the night camp. He understood Lei Bao's meaning, which was to take Lei Xingfeng away from here.
