Chapter 3881: Turning the tables
“These two young friends have come from afar, so it’s been hard on you,” he said with a smile. He was the current clan leader of the Zhou Clan.
Young friend?
Ling Han chuckled internally. Previously, he had still been Lord Thunder God, and now, his status had been degraded to that of ‘young friend’. This gap was really huge.
Song Lan bowed daintily, and said, “Greetings, Lords.”
She was well-versed in social relations, and travelled the world in the image of a celestial maiden. She would not deliberately offend anyone.
“Please rise.” Zhou Mi was all smiles, and stretched out a hand, motioning her to rise.
“Celestial maiden Song, we’re all a family, so there’s no need to stand on ceremony,” Zhou Miyang said in a timely manner.
Family?
Ling Han shook his head, and said, “Little Zhou, this is my wife. Since when did she become a family member with you?”
These words caused a few people’s expressions to change at the same time.
“Nonsense, when did Celestial Maiden Song become your wife? Stop dreaming!” Zhou
Miyang immediately stood up, slightly flustered and exasperated.
Meanwhile, Song Lan rolled her eyes at Ling Han, and said in annoyance, “Brother Ling, don’t spout nonsense.”
“Brother Ling?” Zhou Mi carefully glanced at Ling Han’s, and said, “So it turns out that young friend’s surname isn’t Han.”
‘F*ck! Woman, you’re trying to undermine me!’
Ling Han smiled. He was impersonating the Thunder God, but the Zhou Clan were not idiots. They had only deduced from the subtle relationship between Ling Han and Song Lan that Ling Han should also be an outsider, and not some so-called Thunder God.
Thus, Zhou Miyang’s attitude immediately changed.
In the eyes of the Zhou Clan, Ling Han’s ability was far too astonishing. If they could obtain it, the Zhou Clan would definitely become even more powerful.
“My name is Ling Han.” With a thought, Ling Han’s appearance returned to normal.
“So it is Young Friend Ling.” Zhou Lou spoke up, “Let’s be frank. If Young Friend Ling is willing to hand over your technique of controlling lightning, the Zhou Clan would definitely satisfy Young Friend Ling.”
The secret behind Ling Han’s ability to control lightning was the light of lightning in the Celestial Cauldron. This was a supreme opportunity that could match an Imperial Technique, so how could Ling Han possibly surrender it to someone else?
He wouldn’t even trade for an Imperial Technique.
Ling Han shook his head, “Not interested.”
“Young friend, please reconsider,” Zhou Lou said with a smile. However, there was already a powerful threat in his voice.
Ling Han chuckled, “No need to consider.”
“Sigh, young friend, you are refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit,” Zhou Lou said balefully.
“Second Brother, don’t scare our guests,” Zhou Mi shouted, pretending to stop him.
Zhou Lou merely smiled, and stretched out a hand to grab Ling Han. Crackle, crackle, lightning flickered on his hand.
If it was another cultivator of the Core Formation Tier, even if they were also cultivating the power of lightning, Ling Han would definitely be outmatched. He would either immediately turn around and flee, or draw out the Heavenly Dao Flames, but in this place, the situation was too unique.
Ling Han did not move, and allowed Zhou Lou to grab onto him.
Song Lan was speechless as she watched. In her eyes, Ling Han’s intelligence was not inferior to hers at all. Thus, since Ling Han dared to come, he must have something to rely on, but now, he had fallen into Zhou Lou’s hands just like that, which really made her jaw drop.
Have you come to walk right into a trap?
“Young friend, can you reconsider now?” Zhou Lou asked with a smile.
“I said I’m not interested, so I’m not interested,” Ling Han said calmly.
“Stubborn!” Zhou Lou humphed, and the power of lightning surged, blasting out towards Ling Han’s body.
He controlled his power very well. He would make Ling Han suffer greatly, but would not really kill Ling Han.
However, when power surged out, it was like a clay ox entering the sea.
What was going on?
Though he had heard Zhou Miyang speak of Ling Han’s “strangeness”, but just think, with his cultivation level of Core Formation Tier, he was superior to Ling Han in terms of level of
being. This kind of thing naturally could not possibly happen to him.
However, there just so happened to be such a strange thing in this world. His power was actually completely absorbed by Ling Han, and he could not cause the slightest bit of damage.
They had to be seeing things.
Ling Han smiled faintly, “Now, do you believe that I am the Thunder God?”
Zhou Lou naturally didn’t believe this. If the Thunder God had truly descended into the mortal
world, how could his cultivation level only be at the Cauldron Forging Tier?
He increased his power, but no matter how much power he activated, Ling Han was
completely unscathed.
“Haha, young friend’s ability is truly shocking!” Zhou Mi carefully mediated the situation, “Second Brother, don’t be rude to esteemed guests.”
Zhou Lou sheepishly withdrew his hand. A dignified Core Formation Tier elite was actually unable to do anything to a Cauldron Forging Tier, which made him feel very embarrassed.
Ling Han didn’t attack either. Firstly, he was only immune to the attacks of the Zhou Clan, but it didn’t mean that he could turn the tables and suppress a Core Formation Tier cultivator. Secondly, it wasn’t time yet.
“Young friend, name a price. What do you want in exchange for teaching this secret technique?” Zhou Mi asked with a serious expression.
Ling Han cracked a smile, “You guys can’t be the only ones to make a bid. It’s my turn.” He pondered for a moment, then said, “Give me the information on Heavenly Clouds Mountain.” Zhou Mi laughed in spite of itself, “Young friend, do you think you can threaten us? Though you have grasped a secret technique, and are immune to our attacks, you are only a Cauldron Forging Tier, after all.” He said disdainfully.
“Oh?” Ling Han smiled faintly. He stood up, and with a casual wave of his hand, a bolt of lightning shot out. With a pa, all the tables and chairs in his path were turned into dust, and his power did not decrease. A hole was blasted into the wall, and he continued to charge forwards, blasting out a passage that was several hundred meters long.
-The Zhou Clan Residence was not built from the Lightning Ore, so they were naturally no match for the might of lightning.
Song Lan couldn’t help but feel moved. This attack was too terrifying. Even she felt her heart palpitate, and felt that it was extremely troublesome, and difficult to parry.
And this was only something that Ling Han had done casually.
Ling Han shrugged and said, “I indeed can’t do anything to Core Formation Tier elites, but the Zhou Clan can’t all be Core Formation Tier elites, right?”
Zhou Mi and Zhou Lou’s expressions immediately changed drastically. Just as Ling Han had said, they were indeed unafraid of Ling Han, but what about the other members of the Zhou
Clan?
“Young friend, you’re not alone either. For example, Miss Song is beautiful, so it would be too unfortunate if her face was accidentally ruined, wouldn’t it?” Zhou Mi said in a deep
voice.
Song Lan hurriedly waved his hand, “Brother Ling and I have only met by chance.”
As she spoke, a light flickered on her body. It was indistinct, yet it caused both Zhou Mi and Zhou Lou’s expressions to change drastically. That light had the ability to threaten them.
They had miscalculated. This woman had a rare treasure to protect her, so it was impossible for them to use her to threaten Ling Han.
Ling Han was also surprised. He had not thought that Song Lan would actually possess such a
treasure?
This should be something that she had obtained later. Otherwise, if she would rather sit by and watch her companion be trapped than save him, wouldn’t that be too cold-blooded and
heartless?
Song Lan only showed off a little of her strength, and smiled beautifully, as if nothing had
happened.
She indeed had a rare treasure on her, but there was a limit to how many times she could use
it. Thus, if she could avoid using it, it was naturally best not to.
Ling Han clapped his hands, and said, “Now, can we talk?”
Zhou Mi was helpless, and asked, “Young friend, what do you want to know?”
“The distribution of wild beasts in the Heavenly Clouds Mountain, as well as… what is that place outside the Heavenly Clouds Mountain?” Ling Han asked.
