Tang Jun looked at Lei Jie and asked casually, "Lei Dalang, how have you been?"
The two youths, who were both valiant and resolute, stood facing each other. Although they had grown up and their facial features were no longer as similar as they were when they were young, there was still at least sixty to seventy percent similarity between their brows. It was easy to tell that the two of them had a close relationship with each other.
Lei Jie looked at Tang Jun in front of him and his gaze froze. "Tang Liulang …"
Because they were of the same generation, Tang Jun and Lei Jie's nicknames were Tang Liulang and Lei Dalang respectively.
From these two nicknames, one could see the difference in the treatment the two received in the Lei family.
But today, the difference in reputation between the Celestial Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Lei Clan of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Lei Clan of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the Celestial Sect of the
True Lord Tang Jun, the eldest disciple of the sect master under Lin Feng, the head disciple of Xiao Yan, and the most outstanding successor of Xuanmen Tianzong Fen Tianya. He was a top figure among the second-generation direct disciples of Xuanmen Tianzong.
He established the Supreme Spirit Platform, built the Supreme Pill Cauldron, formed the Purple Core Phenomenon, and successfully produced the Divine Light of Creation after forming the Nascent Soul.
When he was in the late stages of the Golden Elixir, he had replicated the glorious achievements of his master, Xiao Yan, and killed a late Yuanying Patriarch in a one-on-one battle.
In the previous war between the two worlds, his performance was even more outstanding. Not only the Yuanying cultivators of other forces, but even the Primordial Spirit Realm powerhouses were also surprised.
Usually, he was very tough on enemies and outsiders, but he was very friendly to his fellow sect members. Not only within Fen Tianya, but also among all the younger disciples of Xuanmen Tianzong. He interacted with cultivators from other forces, treated people well, and had the temperament of a master.
Although Xuanmen Tianzong had only been established for a short period of time, there were already many speculations in the human cultivation world.
After Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the others, if the Celestial Sect of Xuan Men were to inherit the second generation Successor Disciple, then just from the current situation, the two people with the highest possibility of inheriting the position of Sect Master are Burning Heaven Cliff's Tang Jun and Qian Tian Palace's Yang Tie.
Although Dao Yuting and Lin Tong had a higher cultivation level, and there were also Zhou Yuncong and Han Yang who were on par with Tang Jun, Dao Yuting, and Zhou Yuncong, due to their personalities, they were not suitable candidates for sect master. Huang Zhentian and Ying Luozha.
As for Han Yang and Liu Xiafeng, they had no interest in the sect, so they also withdrew from the list of candidates.
As for the rest, Li Xingfei, Zhao Huan, Tan Yunqing, and the others could all be considered outstanding talents. Their names shook the vast land of the Divine Prefecture, and they were the leaders of the group. However, compared to Tang Jun and Yang Tie, they were slightly inferior.
Among them, Tang Jun was unyielding and calm, and Yang Tie was steady and sharp. There was still a great suspense as to who would emerge from the two.
However, as long as the two of them did not die prematurely, and there was no other dark horse that broke out of the encirclement, then they would be the second generation direct disciples of Xuanmen Tianzong who were most likely to inherit the position of sect master.
All these years, Lei Jie had also made a name for himself. During the Kunlun Mountain Assembly, he was defeated by the hands of the direct disciple of Taixu Temple, Chen Xingyu, which had tarnished his reputation as a proud son of heaven.
However, after Kunlun Mountain Assembly, Lei Jie did not become depressed. Instead, he concentrated on his cultivation, and his cultivation strength continued to rise. After a short period of decline, his reputation rose again, and he was even stronger than before.
Among the young experts of the entire divine continent, those who were not overshadowed by the direct disciples of the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Void Temple, in this era, could be said to be as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, and Lei Jie was one of the top figures among them.
However, compared to Tang Jun's brilliance, Lei Jie's brilliance was lackluster.
It was not that he was not outstanding enough, but that Tang Jun was more powerful.
When he was young, he saw the only blemish in his life, and they were worlds apart, but now he had surpassed him. To the proud Lei Jie, this was undoubtedly a great mockery.
Tang Jun looked at Lei Jie calmly. He did not have any intention of showing off.
As he continued to rise, he also felt immeasurably happy and elated. However, he did not immerse himself in it. Instead, he constantly reminded himself not to relax, and to continue to move towards greater heights.
He did not reject the feeling of happiness, nor did he think that he was full of himself. He did not think that this was a negative emotion. However, as time passed and he grew stronger, this feeling gradually faded.
Therefore, he was very calm when facing Lei Jie.
However, this did not mean that he would forget everything that had happened. Kindness must be repaid, and enmity must be repaid. This was how Tang Jun had always been.
"Lei Dalang, because of my father, you hated me. The Lei Family vented their anger on me. Some people who sucked up to those in power, with your tacit approval or even hints, made things difficult for me and humiliated me.
"In the Spirit Extermination Valley, I would have died at your hands if you had been a hair's breadth away.
"I have never forgotten these things. Every debt has a debtor. Let us settle this slowly one by one.
"Being broad-minded and magnanimous has never been the same as being lenient and allowing the weak to be bullied. If you repay enmity with kindness, how do you repay kindness? " Tang Jun said calmly, "But all of this, whether it was anger or disgust, at least the reason is clear."
Tang Jun looked at Lei Jie. "When I left my father's old residence, the Lei Family hunted me down. There was even a saying that if I was alive, they would find my corpse.
"The Lei Family hunting me down must have something to do with my father. It must have something to do with my body changing through the array in my father's old residence.
"But you, Lei Dalang, who has always hated me, looked down on me, and was unwilling to look me in the eye, why did you suddenly come after me personally? Although we did not get along, I also knew that you were clearly in an abnormal state at the time. You wanted to kill me as soon as you could.
"At that time, I had not yet entered the sect. Even if my body changed because of the array in my father's old residence, I was still a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Why did you suddenly act so strangely?"
Hearing Tang Jun's question, Lei Jie was silent for a moment. The anger he felt when he learned the truth all those years ago seemed to rise from the bottom of his heart again.
The words written on the paper floated before his eyes again.
"Compared to the previous failure, the second was finally a success …
"The previous … was a failure … The second … was a success …"
Lei Jie's state of mind gradually calmed down after he had personally hunted down Tang Jun out of rage. Even when he had gone to Xuanmen Tianzong's territory to participate in the dharma assembly and knew that Tang Jun was on Kunlun Mountain, Lei Jie could still calm himself down.
Over the years, Lei Jie's goal had been to prove that he was stronger than Tang Jun and use this as motivation to improve.
Unfortunately, the situation was stronger than the person. Tang Jun's progress was rapid and his momentum was even faster than Lei Jie's. He gradually began to catch up.
Although the people around him comforted him that Tang Jun's rise was due to Xuanmen Tianzong, Lei Jie could not convince himself otherwise.
Today, the two of them finally stood face to face. The anger he felt when he had just learned the truth rushed into Lei Jie's heart again.
He said coldly, "Is there still a need to say this now?"
Tang Jun's expression was calm. "You will tell me, won't you?"
Lei Jie was silent again. After a while, he nodded and said Slowly, "Yes, that's right. I will indeed tell you, tell you, just how sad we are."
He turned to look at the Lei Family Patriarch, Lei Lie. "Grandfather."
Lei Lie was silent. With a flick of his finger, a small ball of lightning floated in front of Xiao Yan and Tang Jun. A strange flow of light flowed within the lightning.
This lightning was formed from Lei Lie's magic power. It was used to preserve the strange flow of light for a long time. Xiao Yan pointed with his finger and drew the information contained within the lightning.
He did not look at it himself, but first sent it into Tang Jun's consciousness. He did not seem curious about the content, nor was he worried about whether Tang Jun could bear it.
Tang Jun bowed to his master, Xiao Yan, and then closed his eyes. His consciousness magic power merged with the flow of light, and he browsed through the information contained within.
It was a remnant of someone's consciousness that had been restored using magic power. However, because it was too damaged, it could not restore the image of light, only some sound.
"I know, I have succeeded. Without a doubt, this time, it will not be a failure like the first time …"
"Compared to the previous failure, the second one has finally succeeded, and the amount of resources and effort used is even less …"
"However, the Lei Family cannot continue to stay. If this continues, they may find traces of us …"
The voice came from a middle-aged man. His tone was calm and contained some joy. Tang Jun found the voice very unfamiliar, but he could also imagine that the owner of this voice should be his and Lei Jie's father, Tang Shaohua.
In just a few words, it was not difficult to outline the whole story of what had happened back then.
The so-called "previous failure" undoubtedly referred to Lei Jie, and the "second success" referred to him, Tang Jun.
However, from Tang Shaohua's words, Tang Jun could not hear any affection or familial love. The joy in that voice was not the joy of having a son, but the result of "success".
In this voice, when Lei Jie and Tang Jun were mentioned, it was as if they were not his two sons, but two works, one a failure, the other a success.
The cold indifference contained in the calm joy made one shudder.
"Find traces? Who is this "they" referring to? Is it the Lei Family … it doesn't seem like it. " Tang Jun frowned slightly. He came to a realization. When Tang Wenhua had fled from the Lei Family, it was most likely to avoid the "they" he was referring to. The escape of the treasure was just a cover, to make it more natural for him to leave the Lei Family.
Since this was the case, this "they" naturally did not refer to the Lei Family, but someone else.
Tang Wenhua chose to flee with the treasures instead of faking his death. Perhaps there were other considerations, but it was not something that Tang Jun could analyze with the information he had at hand at the moment.
Tang Jun looked towards Lei Lie and Lei Jie. Lei Lie slowly said, "After you left Tang Wenhua's former residence, we thoroughly investigated the place. The Great Zhou even secretly invited the Grand Imperial Palace to restore this remnant trace."
