Chapter 3500
Chapter 3500
Lei Lan was the first friend Zi Chen had made in the Holy Thunder Territory, and she was also the only disciple of the Holy Thunder Sovereign.
When Zi Chen went out on a mission, he specifically asked Lei Lan to help look after the Tianwu World. In the end, when he returned, he found that she was already out on a mission.
At that time, Zi Chen felt that something was wrong. Core disciples had a lot of freedom, so why did she have to go on a mission at that time?
After so many years, Lei Lan had never returned. Although Zi Chen had doubts in his heart, he didn't care.
For the long history of the Spirit Clan, it was normal for a mission to take many years.
Not to mention a few decades, it was normal for it to take hundreds or thousands of years.
Being dragged by Grace, several thoughts flashed through Zi Chen's mind, and his face gradually became gloomy.
An oppressive chill emerged from Zi Chen's body. At such a close distance, Grace felt as if a great monster had suddenly awakened beside her.
"What happened to her?"
Zi Chen asked in a low voice, deliberately suppressing his infinite killing intent.
"It's not the worst yet. You'll know when we get there."
Grace led Zi Chen into a hall.
At this time, there were already two people standing in the hall. One was a middle-aged man he had never seen before, and the other was Steward Mo.
Seeing Zi Chen come in, Steward Mo nodded slightly at him.
"What happened to Lei Lan?"
Zi Chen asked anxiously.
"Don't worry, this is Lei Yongnian, the person in charge of our Holy Thunder Core Clan.
He also brought back the information about Little Lan, "Steward Mo said as he pointed to the middle-aged man next to him.
"Sir, what's going on?"
Zi Chen asked in a deep voice, "What happened to Lei Lan?"
"When she was out on a mission, she encountered the Death Prison Star Pirates," Lei Yongnian said in a deep voice.
"Death Prison Star Pirates?
So they killed Lei Lan? "Zi Chen asked anxiously.
This question stunned Lei Yongnian. He stared at Zi Chen with a strange expression on his face.
Steward Mo said, "It's Zi Chen's first time in the Holy Thunder Clan, so he doesn't know much about some of the forces in this world."
Lei Yongnian nodded and explained, "The Death Prison Pirates are a unique force. They are not loyal to any force and mainly rely on bounties to survive.
It specializes in targeting core disciples with great potential, such as Lei Lan, a core disciple of the Holy Thunder Clan. "
Zi Chen said, "So, they only captured Lei Lan and didn't kill her?"
Lei Yongnian said, "From the information we received, that is indeed the case."
Zi Chen asked, "What resources do they want?
Saint Crystals? "
Lei Yongnian shook his head and said, "From the news this time, they don't want any resources."
Looking at the other party's hesitant expression, Zi Chen asked, "What exactly do they want? Sir, please tell us. No matter what, we will do our best."
"They want Thunder Leave!
And three Thunder Leave at that! "
Lei Yongnian said in a deep voice, "The news clearly states that they don't want anything other than Thunder Leave.
If they don't give us Thunder Leave, they can't guarantee how Lei Lan will be treated. "
Zi Chen, who was originally a little flustered, calmed down after hearing such an unreasonable request.
He didn't know about the Death Prison Pirates, but since they lived on bounties and had existed for so many years, the main reason why they hadn't hurt the major forces was because of their combat strength.
For example, if they asked for such resources every time they captured a core disciple, he believed that this force would have long been uprooted by the other forces.
After regaining his composure, Zi Chen looked up at Lei Yongnian and asked, "Sir, what do you think of this matter?"
Lei Yongnian said, "In the eyes of the pirates, everyone is valuable. But this time, it doesn't seem to be in line with common sense."
Obviously, the other party had also noticed the problem.
Lei Lan's life was important, but it wasn't as important as three Thunder Leave.
Zi Chen asked again, "Who sent Lei Lan on the mission last time?"
"The mission was sent by us," Lei Yongnian said.
"Was the mission so important that Lei Lan had to be sent?" Zi Chen's words were obviously doubtful.
Lei Yongnian looked at Zi Chen's attire and said, "When we received the news, we found a vein suspected to be able to mine Soul-gathering Crystals.
As a Saint Talisman Master, I believe you know the importance of Soul-gathering Crystals.
Lei Lan wasn't the first core disciple we sent. We sent many people to investigate this matter.
Oh, Butler Mo knew about this matter at the time. "
Zi Chen looked at Butler Mo, who nodded and said, "There's no problem with the mission. The appearance of the Death Prison Pirates was just an accident."
"Was the reward of three Thunder Leave also an accident?" Zi Chen asked.
Butler Mo said in a low voice, "You'll have to investigate this yourself. We've secretly found out where the Death Prison Pirates are holding Lan.
However, the Death Prison Pirates are too cunning. Once they find something wrong, they'll escape in advance. They might even harm Lan, so we can't send experts there. "
Zi Chen understood Butler Mo's meaning and said, "Give me the location and the place of the transaction."
Once he found that he couldn't rescue Lei Lan by force, Zi Chen would still make the transaction.
Other people might not be able to take out three Thunder Leave, and even if they could, they might not be willing to. However, this was nothing to Zi Chen.
After getting two different locations, Zi Chen said goodbye and left.
He first bought some pills, then returned to the Tianwu World and told Jo Lina where he was going.
After learning that something had happened to Lei Lan, Jo Lina was very worried.
Zi Chen left quietly without alerting anyone.
When he was teleporting in the outer area, he paid the teleportation fee and didn't use his core disciple token.
Everything was to keep it a secret.
After several teleportations, Zi Chen successfully left the area controlled by the Holy Thunder Clan. What followed was an extremely long journey.
Lei Lan was imprisoned in a place called the Star Island Region, which was one of the public contact points of the Death Prison Pirates.
The location of this transaction was in the Alliance Star Region next to the Star Island Region. However, it was only a small alliance, and the two star regions were relatively remote.
Zi Chen sat in the Saint-level flying ship. This was one of his spoils of war. It needed to be powered by Saint Crystals and was very fast.
For many cultivators who crossed multiple star regions, this kind of Saint-level flying ship was very important.
The flying ship didn't need to be deliberately controlled. He only needed to keep a wisp of spiritual sense. Zi Chen was still drawing talismans.
There were many unknown dangers in the future, so the more Saint Talismans, the better.
Bang!
A loud vibration suddenly sounded. The flying ship was attacked and stopped abruptly.
