Next, through the detailed narration of these four people, the mystery behind Leiming Town was finally revealed, and Xuan Chen and Xiao Zi had a clear understanding of its origins.

However, Xuan Chen and Xiao Zi, through the stories of the four people and combined with the information they had learned before, came up with another version through reasoning. Perhaps this is the real truth about the fire festival in Leiming Town.

That is, just as Xiao Zixuanchen guessed, the great power that founded this town was indeed an enemy general named Yang Lei who died in that great battle. It could also be a traitor under the command of Sister Ling's master.

At that time, Yang Lei abandoned his physical body, and his soul escaped from the pursuit, and accidentally fled to this place. At that time, this place was an unknown town in the deep mountains. Most of the people in the town were simple and ordinary people, and the number of cultivators was very few.

Yang Lei's arrival was like a dark whirlwind that quickly swept through this quiet town. He controlled the mayor of the town with his powerful soul power and brought the entire town under his control. He also used the stolen array to set up a powerful barrier, truly isolating this anonymous town from the world.

In order to reshape his body, Yang Lei resorted to all means and created a series of heinous incidents of harming people. Since he was a thunder cultivator, he decided to use the power of thunder to create a terrifying image - Thunder God.

He often struck with lightning without warning, and innocent people became his victims. These sudden lightning strikes not only caused casualties, but also caused panic and chaos.

As time went by, legends about offending the Thunder God began to spread in the town. People were filled with fear of this mysterious and terrifying existence, believing that some of their actions had angered the Thunder God and brought such a terrible punishment upon them.

Yang Lei was watching all this secretly, enjoying the fear and awe of the people. He cleverly used these legends to further consolidate his authority and changed the name of the town to Thunder Town. Anyone who disrespected the Thunder God would be warned by thunder, and if they continued to disobey, they would be punished by thunder, in order to completely control the residents of the town.

After Yang Lei completely took control of Leiming Town, he began to plan to shape his body. There was no legitimate way, and all the methods were forbidden, just like when Yang Ji wanted to resurrect himself, they were all evil methods.

The purpose and means are the same, but the process is slightly different. They all use the soul to sacrifice themselves in order to achieve the purpose of reshaping the body.

Yang Lei's forbidden technique is to use unmarried men and women born at noon on the Dragon Boat Festival to sacrifice their souls. As long as he secretly refines two yang souls, he can reshape his body and restore his cultivation at the same time.

In this way, Leiming Town held a ten-yearly sacrifice activity for men and women. On this day, he hid in the formation in the secret room and waited. Once the man and woman who were sacrificed by fire died, the formation would be activated, dragging the souls of the man and woman into the formation for Yang Lei to refine and use for himself.

After tens of millions of years of hard work, Yang Lei not only successfully reshaped his body, but also restored most of his cultivation. He was waiting for the moment to soar into the sky again.

This was Yang Lei's last time using the Soul Refining Technique to restore himself, and it was also the most dangerous and critical time. Because this forbidden technique has side effects if used excessively. In order to avoid side effects, he specially studied the power of faith of the people and transformed the power of faith into special energy and mixed it into the soul refining.

If there are no accidents during the absorption process, he will be able to recover to his prime smoothly. Then he will no longer have to hide in this remote town, and he can go out and soar into the sky again.

However, Chen Yaojin suddenly showed up and made all his efforts go to waste. He was still unconscious and had no chance to get angry. But once he woke up and learned the consequences, I wonder how he would feel? It would be best if he died of anger on the spot.

"Are you sure that the barrier was set up by Yang Lei and not by someone else?" Xiao Zi asked.

"Yes, the origin of this barrier was said by the former mayor himself. He said that the townspeople had angered the Thunder God, and the Thunder God sent down a thunder punishment - a closed barrier. If they did not serve the Thunder God well, the Thunder God would not take back the closed barrier. But later, a new mayor was appointed, and the Thunder God did not take back the barrier. He has been keeping the townspeople here like prisoners."

Xiao Zi and Xuan Chen looked at each other and understood what was going on. They guessed that the barrier was probably obtained by Yang Lei from Master Lingjie using some means. Otherwise, it would not explain why they were able to come in while Lu Qianming and Leng Feng could not.

As for the series of events that followed, it might be that Yang Lei had successfully reshaped his body and no longer needed the puppet-like mayor, so he first used the former mayor's words to make him the new mayor, and then killed the old mayor. He then used the idea of ​​thunder punishment to control the residents of the town.

Xiao Zi and Xuan Chen's powerful logical reasoning thinking has basically restored the past of Leiming Town.

So, Xiao Zi said to the four people,

"Uncle and aunt, I am almost certain that Yang Lei, the mayor of your Leiming Town, is the mastermind behind this. The reason why he performed the fire sacrifice of men and women was to restore his body and cultivation. All the people in your town have been deceived."

Looking at Xiao Zi's confident tone and determined eyes, the four of them felt their heads buzzing, as if countless buzzing sounds were constantly circling in their minds. In the end, they all converged into one sentence, that is, they were all deceived by the mayor, the damned one.

"Lord Thunder God, you must uphold justice for us! That damn Yang Lei has harmed the people so much, he will get his retribution sooner or later." Cuihong and Cuilan knelt down and begged.

The truth was so shocking that the faces of the two couples turned pale and their tears of pain and sadness had dried up.

Now, they have calmed down. Their children are not coming back, and it is useless to be sad. Why not kill the mastermind behind it and avenge their children? This is more practical than crying.

"Don't worry, the next thing will be left to me and Thunder God. Just wait for Yang Lei to reveal his true face and confess in front of the residents of the town!"

"Yes, now that I have encountered this matter, I will speak out against injustice when I see it, and take action when it is time to do so. I will never stand idly by. I think this matter should be dealt with as soon as possible. I will go and deal with that hateful Yang Lei now." Xiao Zi said indignantly. They still had to hurry to Xuanling Gorge, so naturally they didn't want to waste too much time here.

"Okay, okay, thank you very much, Lord Thundergod. My husband and I will go to the square immediately to expose the ugly face of Mayor Yang." Guan Dateng stood up suddenly. He wanted to avenge his son.
