Chapter 915: The Path to Dominating the Thunder Sect

But from Lei Ming's memories, he learned that the Thunder Sect had numerous factions, with hundreds of halls alone.

These halls were powerful and had essentially divided the Thunder Clan's members among themselves.

Among them, the ten most powerful halls stood out.

Lei Wanshan belonged to the Punishment Hall, while Lei Ming was a rogue disciple, a sect disciple not affiliated with any hall.

What was the Thunder Clan Ancestor up to? He founded the Thunder Sect but left it unattended—could there be some great secret?

At the sect's founding, these halls already existed but had no overseers. According to the Ancestor's will, the strong held high positions.

Thus, the first batch of strong ones seized these halls, then recruited more experts to rival other halls.

Lin Fan had a grand plan in mind.

"Lei Ming, it seems I'll have to wrong you." Lin Fan had only one way to hide himself deeper.

That was to forcibly seize Lei Ming's Thunder Clan bloodline, lest the Thunder Clan Ancestor discover something major later.

Thread by thread, a river of bloodline was stripped from Lei Ming's body and grafted onto Lin Fan's own.

At the same time, Lin Fan suppressed his own bloodline deep within.

"Now it's much safer. With the Thunder Clan bloodline, even if a supreme being dissects me, they won't find out my identity."

...

After being taught a lesson by Lei Ming, Lei Wanshan's anger naturally couldn't dissipate.

Punishment Hall.

"Brother Wanzun..." Lei Wanshan prostrated himself, not daring to lift his head, for the one seated before him was Lei Wanzun, the deputy hall master of the Punishment Hall.

"Lift your face." Lei Wanzun's voice carried supreme authority, impossible to defy.

"Brother..." Lei Wanshan raised his head, anger flickering in his eyes.

"What happened to your face? Who hit you?" Lei Wanzun looked at Wanshan's pig-like face, momentarily stunned.

Lei Wanshan was a Divine Heaven Tier 10 Eternal Divine Position expert; any injury would heal instantly, but his face seemed imbued with a mysterious power that even he couldn't dispel.

"It was that rogue disciple Lei Ming. Please, Brother Wanzun, avenge me," Lei Wanshan said.

"Hmph, worthless thing. Can't even suppress a rogue disciple. If not for our blood relation, you'd have died long ago," Lei Wanzun said.

Lei Wanshan lowered his head, not daring to reply. He and Brother Wanzun were half-brothers.

But this elder brother was powerful, now a Supreme Realm expert.

When the Ancient Clan suppressed them, his brother was already a strongman in the Thunder Clan. Later, when the Ancestor returned and the Ancient Clan retreated, his brother soared, becoming a top expert of the Thunder Sect in just a few years.

"Alright, withdraw. Tomorrow, take some Punishment Hall men and arrest this Lei Ming," Lei Wanzun said.

"Yes, thank you, Brother Wanzun." Lei Wanshan prostrated in gratitude, overjoyed. With his brother's involvement, Lei Ming would be a plaything in his hands.

The news that Lei Wanshan had been suppressed on rogue disciple grounds spread instantly.

To the heads of some halls, Lei Wanshan was a minor figure, but to others, it was a matter worth pondering.

Among them, the Sacred Thunder Hall, which had the greatest feud with the Punishment Hall, became lively.

"What's the background of this Lei Ming?" In the hall, a woman in white robes patterned with thunder sat upright.

She was stunningly beautiful, with a perfect figure, and every move exuded immense power.

Her cultivation was also terrifyingly high; between her slender jade fingers flickered streaks of purple lightning.

This was the Sacred Lord of the Sacred Thunder Hall.

"Reporting to the Sacred Lord, Lei Ming is a rogue disciple at the Divine Heaven Tier 10 Eternal Divine Position. He is usually low-key and has been mocked by Lei Wanshan many times. This time, after returning from outside, he seemed like a different person and directly suppressed Lei Wanshan. Lei Wanshan has probably gone to the Punishment Hall by now."

The speaker was the Sacred Lord's personal disciple. Though also at Divine Heaven Tier 10, her aura was far stronger than Lei Wanshan's.

Despite equal cultivation, if Lei Wanshan fought her, he might be instantly slain.

"Go find this Lei Ming tomorrow and have him join the Sacred Thunder Hall," the Sacred Lord said.

"Sacred Lord, the Punishment Hall won't let this disciple go. If we take him in..." Lei Qingxuan looked worried.

"Heh." The Sacred Lord's crimson lips curled slightly. "The Punishment Hall wants to punish him, but the Sacred Thunder Hall wants to protect him. Since Lei Ming dared to act, he must have some backing. Better to recruit him and have him work for the Sacred Thunder Hall."

"Yes, Sacred Lord." Qingxuan nodded.

The next day.

Lin Fan hadn't slept all night, pondering strategies. The Thunder Sect was different from what he'd imagined, but the Thunder Clan Ancestor's neglect gave him an opportunity.

The strong hold high positions.

Then this Emperor will simply crush them with brute force and stir up some trouble for the Thunder Clan Ancestor.

Heh heh...

"Lei Ming, you bastard, get out here!"

Shouts of abuse came from outside.

Lei Wanshan stood there arrogantly, roaring toward the house.

This time, Lei Wanshan had brought Punishment Hall seniors. If Lei Ming dared to fight, he'd be poking a hornet's nest.

If he surrendered, Lei Wanshan would make sure to torment the bastard thoroughly.

Lei Wanshan would never forget yesterday's events.

Many rogue disciples gathered around, terrified at the sight of Lei Wanshan arriving with Punishment Hall seniors.

Though the Thunder Sect had many halls, the Punishment Hall's power was among the top.

Few halls could rival it.

It was a domineering presence in the Thunder Sect.

Lin Fan pushed open the door and stepped out.

"What's all the shouting? Forgotten yesterday's lesson?" Lin Fan strode out, paying no heed to the Punishment Hall.

"Hmph, Lei Ming, the Punishment Hall seniors are here. Let's see if you still dare to act tough. Come quietly," Lei Wanshan said coldly.

Lin Fan glanced at the men behind Lei Wanshan. Their cultivation was mediocre—Divine Heaven Tier 8 or 9, very weak.

But the Punishment Hall's reputation was such that Thunder Sect disciples dared not resist.

"Looks like I was too lenient yesterday. Today, I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget." Lin Fan smiled, completely disregarding the Punishment Hall.

The surrounding disciples were shocked. Was Senior Brother Lei Ming about to attack the Punishment Hall?

"Have you lost your mind?" Lei Wanshan roared, seeing that Lei Ming still intended to fight.

These were Punishment Hall seniors—would he really dare?

"Heh." Lin Fan chuckled, utterly dismissive.

"Stop."

Just then, a female voice rang out.

Lei Wanshan saw the newcomer, a strange glint in his eyes.

Why were those bitches from the Sacred Thunder Hall here?
