He Didn't Want to Be the Center of Attention, Hence, after Defeating the Demon Lord, He Became Guild Master Chapter 326

Lei Dongtian snorted, "I wonder what brings Supreme Wind to my doorstep at this hour?"

A loud bang resonated from the doorway.

Old Mu crashed into the room. As he drank in the scene before him, Old Mu was rooted to the ground, even as he felt like rus.h.i.+ng over to his master's side.

Lei Dongtian extended his hand to stop Old Mu, "Patience. Let us see how this pans out."

Lord Supreme Wind laughed in a carefree manner, "Young Master Lei appears to understand how things work. Although I am the equal of the both of you, it won’t be easy for you to detain me. Let us talk calmly before we make any rash moves that will throw any sense of civility out the window."

Lei Dongtian snorted again. He reached out for a chair and placed it behind him. Facing the window, he sat down primly. He then uttered in a faint tone, "As I had asked before, what brings Lord Supreme Wind here at such a late hour?"

"Well, nothing in particular." A smiling expression could be detected over the vague silhouette that was Supreme Wind’s figure, "However, I have a few requests!"

Lei Dongtian chuckled indifferently, "A few? Please, do tell."

Lord Supreme Wind's voice was soft, "First things first. I have been interested in the art of Bound of Universe's Lei Family which is never pa.s.sed on. I wish to seek some guidance, Young Lord Lei. It will be even better if you are willing to teach it to me."

Lei Dongtian's handsome face distorted instantly. With a crooked smile, he uttered, "What a wonderful dream you have there!"

He was not perfectly certain of the current situation.

He had been betrayed!

He had been thoroughly betrayed by his own people at his own Bound!

He had never mentioned the t.i.tle "Lei family in the Bound of Universe". He had never uttered a word about that, not even in front of Yun Yang!

However, with his opening words, Supreme Wind had revealed his greatest secret.

If it wasn't a betrayal by his own people at the Bound of Universe, what else could it be?

Lei Dongtian's gaze was cold enough to pierce through the bones He then uttered, "The way Supreme Wind speaks is frank and straightforward. However, before responding to your request, I would like to ask you a question: I wonder who was the one you told you about the t.i.tle Bound of Universe's Lei Family? Or rather, where did you glean this information from? "

Despite the increasing tension, Lord Supreme Wind uttered in a calm and unruffled manner, "Young Lord Lei, although I may be the first one who has requests from you, I am returning a favor by the fact that I have mentioned about "Lei family from the Bound of Universe". However, the way you are questioning me right now has turned you into the one who is requesting from me! Since our positions have been switched, don’t you think that Young Lord Lei should display a little more sincerity?"

Lei Dongtian snorted, "How daring you are! What else do you want?"

Lord Supreme Wind continued, "I have been observing Young Lord Lei for a long time, and have been touched by the affection you have over a special pair of women. I am willing to return the two ladies to you, so as to fulfill one’s wishes. Accordingly, Young Lord Lei should also contribute something unimportant as a token of appreciation, shouldn’t you?"

Lei Dongtian’s expression was solemn, as still as dead water, "What do you want? Let's not beat around the bus.h.!.+"

"The treasured resources within this earth are not something that will impress me. However, the Seven Emotions Praxis that young lord is now practicing..." Lord Supreme Wind chuckled greedily, "That, I am very interested in. Is such sincerity sufficient? "

"Lei Dongtian burst out into laughter without giving any hint of what he was actually thinking.

While laughing, he shook his head, "I really don’t know where your courage comes from, and I don’t even know who was the one who told you about these bizarre things. With the nerve that you have, no wonder you dare to speak openly to me!"

Lei Dongtian's glances were filled with both ridicule and compa.s.sion, focusing on the fuzzy silhouette outside the window, "Perhaps it is by chance that you know about the existence of the Bound of Universe, and to know about the existence of "Lei Family in the Bound of the Universe". However, I'm guessing you aren't aware of the details of the Lei Family, are you?"

Outside the window, Supreme Wind whispered softly, "I don’t need to know much. What I need to make sure is to become strong as soon as possible for the sake of Yutang and for the common people in the world. I will do whatever it takes!"

The words displayed the gallantry of a loyalist, full of certainty as if it was the truth!

Lei Dongtian erupted into laughter. This time, however, the laughter was extremely candid and bright. He almost bent over double, as if he had heard a profound joke. "How mighty you are! I almost fell for it!"

He continued to laugh. After a while, he spoke in a faint and indifferent tone, "Before this, I could hardly imagine that there would be such a profound organization in this world that was able to do something that was otherwise impossible!"

Lord Supreme Wind sounded perplexed, "What are you trying to say?"

Lei Dongtian replied, "Nothing of note. I just wished to commend the greatest strength of this world, the Four Seasons Tower. It is plain that there won’t be any cowardly personnel to tarnish the well-deserved reputation. It was amazing indeed!"

The fuzzy shadow outside the window trembled slightly before uttering, "Four Seasons Tower! The Four Seasons Tower is my life's greatest enemy! One day, I am going to have it eliminated once and for all, no matter how strong this organization is!"

Lei Dongtian replied sarcastically, "Is that so? How stupid would I have to be to believe you? I'll ask one more thing; how do you manage to speak lies with such conviction? It's almost as if you actually believe in it!"

He sneered, "Do you wish to end your own life just to bring down the Four Seasons Tower?"

Outside the window, Supreme Wind remained still. With a cold smile, he said, "It seems like Young Lord Lei did not speak using your brain. I am willing to guide you for a few days if you have yet to learn the art of speaking! Just treat it as an extra remuneration I have offered to you for teaching me the Praxis!"

Lei Dongtian instantly scowled in fury.

The looming self-confidence that the other party displayed while uttering these words had instigated the rage within him, one that was hardly controllable.

Since he had made this remark, it was tantamount to him having to know about the other’s background. However, just as he had said, what would have happened even if that was the case?

In that case, who would have believed it, even if it was spoken out loud?

People would only think that he was unable to convey himself and was blabbering false truths!

Even if he were to publicize it to the world so that everyone knew about it, no one would believe it. Even if the few top-positioned people in the Imperial Court of Yutang knew it as the truth, they would admit it. What was more, they would even help Supreme Wind deny it!

Initially, Lei Dongtian thought that he had control over the other’s greatest secret, which he figured could be used as a bargaining chip. However, after the exchange of words…he found out that the so-called killing weapon meant nothing at all to the other; it was completely useless!

"Fine. I am lazy to argue with a person with a confused mind. Just two conditions will do!" Supreme Wind, who was outside the window, continued to speak," First, the Lei Family’s mystique method. Secondly, the Seven Emotions Praxis. As long as you are willing to let go of these two, the two ladies will come back to you tonight."

"What if I say no?" Lei Dongtian's eyes had turned reddish. Not only were they burning with rage, they were filled with murder.

"I have always been living a life of dignity and moral, of course, I wouldn't touch Young Lord Lei’s women. However, there are still a number of our people who favor such beauty." Supreme Wind spoke with mirth, "I was afraid that you might not be able to obtain the Pure Yin of Chaos as per your plan! Even if you were able to save the people eventually, it would be meaningless. Hence, Young Lord Lei must contemplate this matter thoroughly."

Lei Dongtian felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

His opponent was even aware of the mystery of the Pure Yin of Chaos!

"I have truly underestimated you!" Lei Dongtian remarked in admiration. "However, you are too certain, too confident with yourself. I have been talking to you for so long, did you really think I was simply negotiating with you?"

Upon hearing the words, Supreme Wind was startled. He then uttered faintly, "Does Young Lord Lei have a tactic to confine the s.p.a.ce between heaven and earth?"

"There’s no need to confine the s.p.a.ce between heaven and earth in order to deal with you! I only need to use some of my... tricks." Even as he completed his words, Lei Dongtian's body faded away, vanis.h.i.+ng from sight.

Suddenly, the howling wind could be heard whistling and a smog began to rise. A ma.s.s of greenish-black clouds soon engulfed the sky above the inn.

The bellowing sound of the wind could be heard clearly. The fuzzy silhouette at the window soon turned into a wind which encompa.s.sed the whole sky. An echoing voice full of confidence resounded in the air, "Young Lord Lei, you will most certainly abide by this… I...What is this? "

Beneath the sky, the wind grew increasingly chaotic.

No matter how strong the wind blew, a tiny, fluorescent gleam remained above the silhouette.

With a loud roar, Lei Dongtian pulled out his sword, "Here is a small gift for you, to thank you for giving me so much of your time! This is your fault, there is no one else to blame. Stay!"

The rattling of a sword could be heard, while the gleam of the sword appeared like a dragon, bursting out in a brilliant flash of light.

The sudden, rising, gust of wind could be seen escalating upwards, "Even if you have played these tricks, are you able to catch me? How arrogant you are!"

With a howl, the gust of wind soared into the sky, galloping away from the scene.

Missing his target in his first attempt, Lei Dongtian had already drifted back to the ground. "Arrogant? Let’s see who is the arrogant one. Are you ready?" The last sentence was directed at Old Mu, who was standing beside him.

"Ready," Old Mu solemnly replied.

"Let us give chase! The effectiveness of that thing can only last for two hours. If we aren’t able to find him within that span of time, it will then disappear automatically and our efforts will be in vain!"

Without wasting a second, they then turned into a black shadow simultaneously, rus.h.i.+ng out of the inn.

For a quick moment, the sky was filled with shadows. Almost immediately, they vanished without leaving any traces.

Lei Dongtian's traveling methods could be deemed as approaching the extreme. He had turned completely into a stream of light, flas.h.i.+ng across the sky. He was able to do so due to the face that he had reserved his abilities to a great extent during the brief encounter with Supreme Wind earlier!

Lei Dongtian was a person with great foresight and a profound understanding of the situation at hand.

It did not make any sense nor would it have done any good to catch Supreme Wind or kill him.

The most critical issue was the safety of the two ladies, Ji Lingxi and Yue Rulan!

He could only free the two ladies from the threat of the enemy if could somehow locate them!

By fleeing, his enemy had provided him with the perfect opportunity to do so.
