Chapter 259: Chapter 194 What! Old Demon Duan Wants to be the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch? (5.5K Subscriptions Please)

Leizhou, renowned for its thunderous sounds.

It is said that Chen Tianshui, the founding patriarch of the Thunder God and Mother Sect, was born in Leizhou. He spent most of his life as a fool, barely surviving on the streets, sometimes secretly taken advantage of by some old women. Then, one day during a thunderstorm, he had a dream.

In his dream, he saw the Thunder God and Mother descending beside him, enveloped in a massive thunder cloud.

It is said that when Chen Tianshui woke up that day, he indeed saw a thunder cloud above his head, just like in his dream, swirling around, and he could even glimpse the immense figure of the Thunder God and Mother.

At that moment, thunder suddenly roared intensely, and a torrential rain fell from the sky, mixed with countless strange irons. Amidst the din, Chen Tianshui felt as though a gigantic hand had caressed the top of his head.

Afterward, the once foolish man suddenly gained complete comprehension and wellness throughout his body.

At that time, Chen Tianshui raised his hand, and the strange irons that had fallen to the ground converged towards him. He then shaped them into two hollow iron pillars with his hands and inserted them into his skull.

From then on, Chen Tianshui was often able to hear the "teachings" of the Thunder God and Mother. He truly mastered divine skills and established the Thunder God and Mother Sect.

Of course, this happened a very long time ago, and it’s hard to distinguish its authenticity.

After all, Duan Yun, a young hero known for his heroic spirit, has been rumored to have become an old demon. With such age-old claims, there are surely many more inaccuracies.

However, the fact that Chen Tianshui suddenly changed from a fool to a normal person and even grasped divine skills is true; otherwise, the Thunder God and Mother Sect wouldn’t exist.

Since Chen Tianshui’s time, the history of the Thunder God and Mother Sect spans over a thousand years.

This sect is indeed an anomaly in the Martial World; unlike other sects, they do not delight in occupying territories and forming a closed collective to carve out their powers.

They are relatively dispersed, and the connections between their members are not very tight; it seems they spend their whole lives chasing the footsteps of the Thunder God and Mother amidst the thunder.

Compared to most martial forces in the Martial World, involved in both murder and treachery, the Thunder God and Mother Sect does not seem so brutal or murderous.

Or perhaps they are simply not inclined towards such paths.

But that depends on the situation.

For instance, the first time Duan Yun encountered them, he was used by a "thunder madman" as a test subject. There are often shocking rumors in the Martial World, like a town’s women being skinned, and their skins flown like kites in the sky to attract lightning—a deed done by the people of the Thunder God and Mother Sect.

According to rumors, when the Thunder God and Mother Sect people commit these horrifying acts, they often claim it was guided by the Thunder God and Mother.

In Duan Yun’s eyes, these people are like ticking time bombs waiting to wreak havoc in the Martial World.

It’s not too bad normally, but once they explode, innocent people suffer, like the handsome bystander Duan Yun himself, or the women from that town who were skinned.

Indeed, even if the Thunder God and Mother told them to eat s***, it would be bearable, but one couldn’t achieve safeguarding oneself from harmful instructions.

Duan Yun came to Leizhou with a sense of mission. He not only wanted to remove these "time bombs" but also to seize their power for himself.

The power of thunder and lightning, such dangerous power, can only be controlled by a young hero full of righteous aura like him, and it is beneficial for maintaining peace in the Martial World when owned by such a hero.

Duan Yun’s plan is to first gather some thunder energy from the thunder madman to replenish his lacking Thunder True Qi, and then, find those elders and sect leaders and annihilate them, while also trying to grasp the secrets of the Thunder God and Mother Sect.

In the end, the greatest act of a hero is to serve both himself and the people.

Unfortunately, whether it’s just bad luck or the seasonal reasons in Leizhou, ever since leaving the Qiongling Sect, he hasn’t encountered thunderstorms or any thunder madmen who can listen to thunder.

These days, he is still approaching Thunder Mother Mountain.

It is said that the gates of the Thunder God and Mother Sect are located in that region, and the current sect leader, having obtained a piece of Old Mother Divine Iron, has been dwelling there, not leaving for four years.

Duan Yun’s main goal this trip is to kill him.

If the thunder madmen are like random exploding bombs, then this sect leader is the biggest one.

He is the one who most deserves to be removed.

That skinning incident was orchestrated solely by him.

Duan Yun is not hurrying on his journey, instead, taking it easy, as if traveling through Leizhou.

It must be said, the local customs and culture in Leizhou are quite different from those in Yun State.

There are hills here, mostly gentle, and mostly endless meadows. It is said that behind Thunder Mother Mountain, there is a vast mysterious swamp and a continuous desert.

And Jade Guanyin, the figure who instills fear in countless handsome men of the Martial World, resides in that mysterious swamp. The desert country beyond the swamp is also said to be under her control.

Duan Yun is leisurely riding his horse on the road.

The horse was sent by Yu Zhenzhen, and it is easy to ride and well-behaved.

At this moment, he is holding an iron token in his hand.

The iron token is of high quality, engraved with intricate patterns.

The first thing that catches the eye is a flute.

This iron token was taken from Prince Yuxiao, and the flute engraved on the token likely represents Prince Yuxiao himself. But what is more intriguing on this token is the hand behind the flute.

It is a hand with nine fingers, with an eye carved on the back of the hand.

From one of the fingers, a silk thread hangs down, entwining the flute.

"What exactly does this represent?" Duan Yun pondered as he looked at the token.

Before parting from the Murong brothers, they had discussed this.

But even these experienced old riverside figures like the Murong brothers did not know the specific origins and meanings of this iron token.
