Chapter 10: The Death of the Father

After all, it is not someone else who is buried here, but Lei Yu's own father, the person closest to him

It seems that my younger brother had no issues back then! He returned, and my father must be the one my younger brother buried! However, now that ten years have passed, finding my younger brother's current whereabouts is likely not an easy task! I should first go to the Xuandu Sect; aren't they currently recruiting disciples? With my strength, I wonder if I can join the Xuandu Sect?" Nodding to himself, Lei Yu turned around and strode down the mountain.

Father! It is I, Lei Yu, who am unfilial! It is I, Lei Yu, who have wronged you and my younger brother! If it were not for my earlier arrogance and ignorance, how could I have allowed you to rest here in eternal sleep!" Lei Yu looked up at the sky, screaming madly.

It is still that Peach Blossom Mountain, still the heavy snow falling. Treading upon the rugged mountain path covered in snow, although Lei Yu's body is undoubtedly much stronger than before, at this moment, he still feels an overwhelming heaviness in his steps.

Ah! Let us continue on our way! We must face what lies ahead, as we will ultimately have to confront it. With a sigh, Lei Yu lifted his foot and continued to walk forward.

He broke the large tree and remade a tombstone, using all his strength to place this tombstone before the resting place of his father

"Lord Wang, oh Lord Wang! Even if it allows you to enjoy a moment of freedom, what does it matter! Once I have mastered my skills, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I will surely make you repay this blood debt!" As he muttered to himself, Lei Yu continued to stride up the mountain.

On the tombstone, there are only a few simple words: "The Tomb of Lei Jincai, Unfilial Son Lei Jie Erected"

Perhaps there are other hidden circumstances? Lei Yu does not understand! The only thing he understands is that this Qingyun Town has indeed been destroyed

What good things are there at home! My father never uses them himself, but always keeps them for me and my younger brother! Over the years, my father has only had a few tattered clothes, yet he often buys fabric to make new clothes for me and my younger brother!

The old man on the mountain said that Qingyun Town was destroyed by war many years ago, but where did this war come from? The old man could not provide a clear explanation! Although Lei Yu knew that the geographical location of Qingyun Town was somewhat remote, it was hard to understand why, after so many years, Qingyun Town remained in such disarray. It should be noted that there were several thousand households living in Qingyun Town back then. Could it be that because of a single war, all the people of Qingyun Town perished? Otherwise, how could it be that no one has returned here after all these years?

Father, little brother! You will be fine, absolutely fine!" Thunderstorm often said this to himself, although he knew that the likelihood of his father and little brother being safe was extremely low, at this moment, Thunderstorm could only deceive himself in this way

However, just as it turned a corner, the thunderstorm was taken aback, for the place that had once existed in its memory as home was now desolate and barren. All that remained was a small mound of earth not far away. To be more precise, it could be described as a solitary graveyard, for in front of this mound stood a crooked, makeshift wooden tombstone.

With a sigh, Lei Yu turned and walked towards the Peach Blossom Mountain, where he had once lived

"Then, those few wicked servants and that Lord Wang, no matter where you are now, I will definitely bring your heads here to offer to the spirit of my father in the underworld! Blood debts must be repaid with blood! If the gods obstruct me from slaying the gods, and if the demons obstruct me from exterminating the demons!" Lei Yu's eyes were blood-red, terrifyingly frightening, as he stood up and scanned the surroundings.

Although it is said that one feels timid when approaching home, the thunderstorm draws closer to the place that was once my home, yet I do not feel afraid; all that remains is a profound weight, an immeasurable heaviness

The grave of Father Lei Jincai! Unfilial sons Lei Yu and Lei Jie stand here!" Extending his finger, he re-etched these words on the tombstone, and Lei Yu slowly stood up

Thunderstorm does not want to cry, because Thunderstorm has always believed that a man's blood can flow, but tears should never be shed lightly. However, at this moment, Thunderstorm cannot control herself at all, and tears continuously surge from her eyes, falling onto the snow-covered ground

Lei Yu had never considered seeking revenge on Lord Wang right now, because he knew that if he went there recklessly like this, he would surely meet his end. What he was thinking about now was to first learn some skills; only in this way would the opportunity for revenge be greater

Spotting a tree nearby that was roughly the size of a person embracing it, Lei Yu strode over.

Like a madman, Lei Yu rushed towards the tombstone. Upon seeing the words on the tombstone, Lei Yu knelt down without a word, without any hesitation

Ah! With a loud shout, that giant tree was actually uprooted by the thunderstorm. After consuming half of the celestial fruit, Lei Yu was uncertain about the extent of his own strength; he only knew it was immense! However, despite his great power, he would still be doomed when facing those martial arts experts, as Lei Yu had no martial skills whatsoever. Relying solely on brute force would make it exceedingly difficult to defeat others.

Everywhere there are broken bricks and rubble, everywhere there are traces left by cobwebs and weapons! The only thing that cannot be seen is the presence of people!

"Turn around that corner! Ahead is my home, isn't it?" he muttered to himself. However, when he reached that corner, Lei Yu suddenly stopped in his tracks, for he did not wish to see certain things he was unwilling to confront.

Is this Qingyun Town? Is this the Qingyun Town I used to visit frequently? It seems that the old man did not deceive me! Qingyun Town was indeed destroyed several years ago! Looking at the devastation before me, Lei Yu felt a wave of sorrow. Although to be precise, Lei Yu's home is not located in Qingyun Town, but rather on the nearby Taohua Mountain, nonetheless, this place can still be considered his hometown, a place he is familiar with.

The grand estate of the tyrannical Lord Wang is situated beneath the Peach Blossom Mountain. As Lei Yu passed by, he took special care to observe the surroundings, only to find that the Wang family estate had long been deserted. However, Lei Yu was not surprised; after all, given the current state of Qingyun Town, it would indeed be strange if Lord Wang chose to remain here.

With a soft thud, the tombstone sank deeply into the snow, reaching a depth of several feet.

Scenes flashed before Thunderstorm from time to time, and his heart felt as if it were being cut by a knife, with tears pouring out uncontrollably.

In my youth, every time my father returned from Qingyun Town, he would bring back some novel items for me and my younger brother
