Capítulo 1781: Chapter 240: Harsh Words

This structural change directly caused the three thousand bolts of lightning to return along the way and attack the person who initiated it.

General Ma was taken aback and quickly ran for his life.

However, he reacted too late and couldn’t keep up with the speed of the force reaching the Mysterious Immortal Fifth Realm.

“Boom!”

Just like that, he was pulverized by the three thousand bolts of lightning, becoming a charred corpse.

The situation changed so abruptly that no one had time to react.

The surrounding spectators were dumbfounded, their faces full of disbelief.

They hadn’t expected the “Myriad Thunder Guardians” Immortal Level Formation to have such ability, able to reflect incoming attacks, truly catching them by surprise, unprepared for the assault.

Now, with the leader of the rebels dead, the remaining traitor troops would collapse like a defeated army, unable to withstand a single blow.

Despite this, Grand Marshal and others did not want to become prisoners, so they initiated a coup, igniting a fierce war.

A great battle was imminent, as the Imperial Forest Army fought the rebels, and the traitors battled against the full array of civil and martial officials.

Without the Heavenly Thunder Pearl in hand, these traitors couldn’t stir up a storm, so they were quickly subdued.

The rebels with no casualties, witnessing their leaders die one by one, realized the tide had turned, and immediately surrendered.

Originally, Grand Marshal and the civil and martial officials wanted none of the rebels to remain, but after the Third Prince’s merciful persuasion, a change was made.

The Thunder King also felt this group was merely innocent citizens caught up in the chaos, so he sent them to places of hard labor to repay the country, to repay the people.

Just as the coup subsided, Minister Zhang’s reinforcements hurriedly arrived.

They traversed Heavenly Thunder City all the way to the Imperial Palace, encountering no signs of human presence on their journey, believing the Dynasty was about to be overthrown, thus feeling heavy-hearted.

Upon entering the Golden Luang Hall, seeing the corpses of the traitors strewn across the ground, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Yifan and Princess Fire Lotus hadn’t expected the Kingdom of Leizhen’s royal family to have the ability to quell this coup. Isn’t it said that those who possess the Heavenly Thunder Pearl would possess the Kingdom of Leizhen? How could such an odd situation occur?

“My God! What on earth happened? How could the Heavenly Thunder Pearl not prevail over the ruling royal family?” Princess Fire Lotus was shocked, beyond her comprehension.

“Who is she?”

Watching this flamboyantly dressed woman, the Thunder King curiously inquired.

“Reporting to the Emperor, she is Princess Fire Lotus of the Heavenly Fire Kingdom, who came to escort the Thunderclap Jade.” Minister Zhang stepped forward swiftly to report.

“Oh? She is Princess Fire Lotus of the Heavenly Fire Kingdom?”

The Thunder King gained sudden insight, finally understanding why the other party expressed such astonishment, emotionally recognizing that General Ma had obtained the Heavenly Thunder Pearl.

“That’s correct.” Minister Zhang replied.

The Thunder King had many doubts he wanted to question Princess Fire Lotus of the Heavenly Fire Kingdom, but before that, he wanted to reclaim the remaining Thunderclap Jade, so he walked over to General Ma’s corpse; from General Ma’s charred hand, he took off a somewhat dim Space Ring.

After the assault by three thousand bolts of lightning, this ring had already developed cracks, vulnerable to destruction, and the formation markings on it had vanished entirely, allowing anyone to enter and seize things.

The Thunder King directly extended his Divine Sense to retrieve the Thunderclap Jade from within.

Soon, a now complete “Thunderous Heavensent Badge” appeared before the crowd.

Looking at this Jade Pendant, the civil and martial officials of the Kingdom of Leizhen exclaimed, “Thunderous Heavensent Badge! Wasn’t it said to be fake? How did it solidify into one piece?”

“The half-fake Thunderclap Jade had remnants of Thunderclap Jade within, so of course, Thunderclap Jade could combine with Thunderclap Jade.” The Thunder King responded.

“No wonder the sky exhibited anomalies, and General Ma and others could summon the Spiritual Pearl to descend, so that’s how it was.” The civil and martial officials finally gained sudden insight.

“Fake?”

Princess Fire Lotus and Lin Yifan exchanged glances, surprised that the outcome turned out this way.

Had they known earlier, they wouldn’t have needed to panic and spread the word to others.

After tidying up the fake “Thunderous Heavensent Badge,” the Thunder King strolled over, displaying a kindly smile, curiously asking, “Young lady, you are Princess Fire Lotus of the Heavenly Fire Kingdom, right?”

“Reporting to the Thunder King, that is indeed me,” Princess Fire Lotus replied obediently.

“I heard you bravely escorted the Thunderclap Jade here; may I ask why the bravery?” The Thunder King queried.

“Moonlight Organization! These people also wanted to obtain this incomplete Thunderclap Jade, so we truly faced many dangers to escort it here.” Princess Fire Lotus truthfully answered.

“Moonlight Organization?”

Upon hearing of this organization, the Thunder King was not unfamiliar, for their First Emperor had past conflicts with this organization, not to mention the widespread news of this organization’s wrongdoing across the World of All Things.

The Moonlight Organization wanted to seize the Thunderclap Jade, presumably aiming for the Heavenly Thunder Pearl.

They wanted to make the Kingdom of Leizhen their base in the World of All Things, as the Kingdom of Leizhen had the Thunder Sea for natural defense, making attacks extremely difficult for ordinary people.

The Moonlight Organization had a multitude of experts, and he was very curious how Princess Fire Lotus, who hadn’t even reached the High Immortal Realm, as a young lady managed to evade these people’s pursuit, so he asked, “You, a young Cultivator of the Superior Immortal Realm, how did you dodge numerous dangers to arrive here?”

“I owe it all to the great deity beside me. If it weren’t for him using secret techniques, I wouldn’t have reached the Kingdom of Leizhen,” Princess Fire Lotus confessed sincerely, pointing to Lin Yifan.

“Oh?” The Thunder King looked at Lin Yifan with curiosity.

After examination, he found this young fellow rather ordinary, and his Realm seemingly hadn’t broken through to the High Immortal Realm. How did he accomplish it? Thus, he asked, “What secret technique did you use to evade their pursuit?”

“Pardon me, Thunder King, but this cannot be disclosed,” Lin Yifan faced the rejection without concern, responding bluntly.

What cannot be divulged must absolutely remain undisclosed, as it pertains to his life safety, not to be trifled with.

“This kid is too arrogant, isn’t he?”

“Isn’t he aware this is the Kingdom of Leizhen?”

“Exactly, so pompous. He really thinks he’s a world-class hero.”

…

Lin Yifan hadn’t anticipated that by simply saying this, he would attract so much hostility, evidently having helped the wrong party and exerted the wrong effort.

The Thunder King felt a bit of ripple inside but quickly smoothed it over; perhaps the other party indeed had inexpressible difficulties?

Since they had aided you so greatly, there was no need to make things difficult for them.

So the subject was changed, asking Princess Fire Lotus, “How did you obtain this half-piece of Thunderclap Jade?”

“A Cultivator from the Kingdom of Leizhen handed it to us. At the time, he was being chased by Moonlight disciples, covered in wounds and ultimately couldn’t escape his fate.” Princess Fire Lotus replied.

“So it’s true, the First Emperor indeed perished here.”

The Thunder King hadn’t guessed wrongly; this Thunderclap Jade had been found by their people, not by foreigners as claimed.
