Chapter 724 Jiang Lei Jun (2/2)
“I lost hope, because I knew that I would never catch up to him. I began to think that he was the blazing sun while I was a star that could not be seen under his brightness. I wanted the world to know me, and perhaps that would only happen when the sun fell...”
Everyone looked at Lei Jun with complicated gazes. They too remembered when that person had subdued the entire Cangxuan Heaven. Everyone from that generation could only shrink back under his almighty light.
They finally accepted it, but the person who once shined his light on Cang Xuan couldn't accept the huge contrast between them. Perhaps, the better Cangxuan treated him, the more shame he felt in the depths of his heart.
And it had gradually turned into an unhealthy obsession.
Lei Jun was evidently an extremely prejudiced person. He had merely hid it too well.
Old Xuan’s wrinkled hand tightly clutched Lei Jun’s wrist like an eagle’s claw as he hissed in his gravelly voice, “This is your reason? How much help did master give you when you came to the Cangxuan Sect? How much guidance have you received from him?”
“If it wasn't for master, would you be where you are now?”
Lei Jun smiled, “See, even you think that I am nothing without Cang Xuan.”
He sighed, “That was not what I wanted, so when Sheng Yuan secretly contacted me, I promised to cooperate with him because I felt that it was also time for the blazing sun to set.
“I would prove to the world that I can be even more dazzling without him.”
“You betrayed your sect and spit at your benefactor in the face. Do you really think that you’re very dazzling right now?” Old Xuan thundered. A gush of terrifying Genesis Qi erupted from his body as he launched his palm, causing space to shatter.
Lei Jun swept an indifference glance at old Xuan’s terrifying palm strike. In the next moment, a huge Law Domain emerged from his body.
Old Xuan's palm struck the Law Domain, causing it to shake violently but his attack ultimately failed to break the Law Domain.
“You've reached the Law Domain stage?!” Old Xuan’s eyes were grave as he stared at Lei Jun.
Old man Bai Mei, the Hongya Peak master and others’ expressions changed drastically. Within the Cangxuan Sect, only sect master Qing Yang had truly stepped into the Law Domain stage, while the rest of them were at the peak of the Nascent Source stage.
Although they had begun to touch the power of the Law Domain, they still hadn’t fully taken that important step.
Who would have thought that Lei Jun would be the first among them to enter the Law Domain stage without anyone knowing.
This secret was hidden far too deeply.
Lei Jun faintly smiled, “I stepped into the Law Domain stage when Cang Xuan died, which proved that I was right. Without Cang Xuan, the world wouldn’t know me as peak master Lei Jun, but....Jiang Leijun.”
Sect master Qing Yang’s eyes had turned bitingly cold. “It’s pointless to say any more.”
His body was shrouded in the power of the Law Domain. The Cangxuan Sect had become a laughing stock, but no matter what, Lei Jun had betrayed the Cangxuan Sect and must be punished.
However, just as sect master Qing Yang intended to take action, a wave of terrifying oppressive pressure suddenly enveloped him.
Palace master Sheng Yuan’s silver eyes locked onto sect master Qing Yang with a smile plastered across his face. He obviously wouldn’t sit back and watch sect master Qing Yang and the others deal with Lei Jun. After all, the Cangxuan Sect would be kept busy enough with their own affairs as long as Lei Jun existed.
“Qing Yang, this is a matter of the Cangxuan Sect, why cause a scene here? Also, there are more important things right now.”
Palace master Sheng Yuan’s silver eyes turned towards the Cangxuan Saint Stamp with an unfathomable expression as his voice reverberated across the area.
