Thinking of this, Wu Tian's heart surged with excitement. He then said to Lei Qianjiao, "I heard you just now. I must have been cultivating for quite some time, right?"
"So, during this period, did anything else happen?"
Hearing this, Lei Qianjiao emerged from her disgruntled mood.
She shook her head and said, "Nothing particularly strange happened."
"It's just that a lot of people have come to Sheng Lei City during this time."
"Judging by the flow of people, I estimate that most of those who entered the Thunder God Immortal Realm have already arrived?"
"Is that so?" Wu Tian smiled. "It seems that ever since that pillar of light appeared, everyone's thoughts are the same as mine. They all feel that something big is bound to happen here, right?"
"Something big?" Lei Qianjiao said, "But it's been so long, and nothing has happened yet. Are you sure something will really happen?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "When things are abnormal, there must be a reason. So, it's highly likely that's the case, it's just that the time hasn't come yet."
"And based on my speculation, this major event is probably related to the Sacred Thunder Hall."
After saying this, Wu Tian changed the subject and said, "Alright, alright, I've been cultivating all these days, and I feel like my body is getting rusty. How about accompanying me for a stroll?"
Lei Qianjiao had no objections to this. After nodding, she went out with Wu Tian.
As Lei Qianjiao had said, Sheng Lei City had indeed attracted many cultivators.
The streets, which were originally somewhat desolate, now had a considerable amount of human activity.
As Wu Tian and Lei Qianjiao walked on the street, Wu Tian realized that Lei Zhengxuan's earlier estimate was incorrect.
Roughly calculated, the number of people who had entered Sheng Lei City alone was likely over six hundred, not to mention those who hadn't entered or had already perished.
So, to be precise, the total number of people who had entered the Thunder God Immortal Realm was probably around a thousand.
There wasn't much to see in Sheng Lei City. All one could see were people and buildings.
Wu Tian looked at the orderly houses, and a bustling scene emerged in his mind.
One could imagine that Sheng Lei City must have been incredibly lively in the past, with the disciples of the Sacred Thunder Sect living peacefully and having very stable lives.
But it was the appearance of the demonic creatures that shattered the beauty of this sanctuary, leading to the demise of hundreds of thousands of lives. Truly heinous.
And something like this served as a stark reminder to Wu Tian.
The strength of demonic creatures was unimaginably powerful. As long as it concerned them, one must never be careless.
In the future, for reasons unknown, demonic creatures might make a comeback.
If one wasn't constantly prepared for battle, then even the outside world would likely suffer the same fate as Sheng Lei City.
Thinking of this, Wu Tian clenched his fists unconsciously, his thoughts drifting.
At this moment, Lei Qianjiao suddenly said beside him, "Look quickly, there seems to be something happening up ahead!"
Wu Tian was slightly startled, then looked up. He saw about a dozen people gathered ahead, seemingly watching something exciting.
Wu Tian and Lei Qianjiao walked over, and as they saw what was happening in the crowd, their brows immediately furrowed slightly.
A man was looking at a woman with a lecherous expression, his eyes burning.
As the man approached her, the woman trembled and retreated.
"No, no..."
The woman's delicate face was filled with fear. As she retreated, she said with a tremor.
The man continued to wear a greedy expression, his eyes seeming to flash with the green light of a hungry wolf.
The man chuckled and said, "Heh heh, what's wrong, beautiful? Why are you so scared?"
"I've already told you, I just want to invite you to be my partner. I don't mean to bully you, but why do you keep backing away?"
"You know, your actions like this make me very sad, brother!"
The woman's face was still filled with fear, and she was on the verge of tears. She said, "Please, I, I really don't want to go with you. Please spare me!"
But the man was relentless. "Spare you? I don't understand what you're saying, but I don't like your attitude. It's as if I'm a bad person."
"I don't have many qualities, but I hate being misunderstood the most. So, how are you going to compensate me?"
The woman became even more frightened upon hearing this.
She had no idea what to say correctly, so she could only say tremblingly, "I, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I really didn't mean to..."
The man chuckled and said, "You didn't mean to? But do you think that's enough?"
"I'm angry now, so you must compensate me properly."
"I advise you to agree. After all, I am a Mid-Grade Immortal, and you, you're not even an Immortal, just an eighth-level Spirit Cultivator."
"With your strength, I'm not looking down on you, but this is simply not a place you can be."
"Instead of suffering alone, why don't you seek my protection?"
"Don't worry, as long as brother is here, brother guarantees you will be safe and sound."
"This scoundrel!" Seeing this, Lei Qianjiao clearly couldn't stand it any longer and said through gritted teeth.
The woman was not foolish either, and how could she believe the man's words?
She still shook her head repeatedly and said, "No, this really won't do."
"Big brother, please let me go. I, I really can't do that kind of thing!"
"How dare you!" Seeing that the woman was not listening, the man suddenly became angry, and his voice immediately rose several octaves.
The sudden increase in volume startled the woman greatly. She trembled and said, "Wh, what's wrong..."
The man said menacingly, "You ungrateful wretch!"
"You don't listen when I speak nicely to you, and you want me to take action, right?"
"Let me tell you, there's no woman I want that I can't get! Since you're so uncooperative, I'll have to take you by force!"
Hearing this, the woman, terrified, turned to run.
But as soon as she made a move, she felt her body being suppressed by something.
The man chuckled sinisterly, "Run? Dream on."
"I am a Mid-Grade Immortal. If I let a Spirit Cultivator like you escape today, I might as well give up on mingling in the outside world."
