616 Deciding

However, some people were sincerely willing to cooperate with Lu Benwei.

“Brother Lu Benwei, why don’t we both take a step back?” someone from the Zhang family said, “We won’t stop you from taking anything you want, but there must be a limit.”

Lu Benwei took a sip of tea and said, “I can consider this.”

Seeing that Lu Benwei had relented, the Zhang family members led by Zhang Chuchen heaved a sigh of relief.

“I didn’t want to scam you,” Lu Benwei said, “I just want to see your attitude.”

“Five!”

As he spoke, Lu Benwei raised five fingers.

“I believe that there are many divine materials and treasures in the Celestial Gate Mountain secret realm. With me around, the Zhang family will be able to obtain more materials than this.”

Someone snorted in disdain.

“Humph! Why should we believe you? A student who hasn’t graduated yet, is still wet behind the ears, yet he’s asking for an exorbitant price. Has Jiangsu and Zhejiang Hunter University fallen to this extent?”

Lu Benwei raised his head and looked at that person. He had a round face, big ears, a straight nose, and a square mouth. His sharp eyes revealed a shrewd calculation.

Then, the corners of Lu Benwei’s mouth curled up. “Whether you believe it or not, it’s up to you.”

Then, he slowly got up again. “I’ve had enough tea. Thank you for your hospitality, Zhang family.”

Then, he turned around and left Zhang Family Shop.

The Zhang family looked at Lu Benwei’s back as he left and looked at each other.

The person from before was so angry that he was panting heavily. “You’re going too far. Do you think that our Zhang family doesn’t have anyone?”

“Even if we don’t rely on anyone else, our Zhang family can still make a name for ourselves in the Celestial Gate Mountain secret realm!”

Zhang Chuchen disagreed and said, “Third Uncle, you might not know, but Fifth Master and I have personally witnessed Lu Benwei’s power. Do you know the leader of the Public Order Team, Pei Jie?”

Zhang Chuchen’s third uncle narrowed his eyes.

“I heard that his talent isn’t bad. He reached the sixtieth level half a year ago, and his age seems to be not much older than you, Chuchen,” someone from the Zhang family said, “It’s a pity that his older brother is disappointing and has been swindling people on the antique street.”

“Yes,” Zhang Chuchen replied, “Today, Pei Jie’s brother tried to extort money from Lu Benwei and was taught a lesson by Lu Benwei and his girlfriend. Then, when Lu Benwei came to our Zhang Family Shop, Pei Jie and Liang Ba came looking for him.”

“Yes! Fifth Master and I saw it with our own eyes. Lu Benwei easily defeated Pei Jie and shattered half of his body,” said Zhang Chuchen.

“As for Liang Ba’s minions, they were even more vulnerable. Lu Benwei didn’t even use much of his strength.”

After hearing Zhang Chuchen’s story, the Zhang family members’ eyelids twitched.

Half of a person’s body was shattered. Was this not too brutal?

“According to Lu Benwei, he’s at level 65,” the eldest elder in the Zhang family, Fifth Master Zhang, added.

When everyone heard this, they sucked in a breath of cold air again.

“How old is he? He’s already level 65?”

“No one in the entire Rodu can compare to him!”

At the same time, someone voiced their concerns, “But if we cooperate with Lu Benwei, we’ll offend the officials and the Liang family!”

“Don’t forget that Lu Benwei has offended some unattainable existence!”

Some people were well-informed and knew about Lu Benwei’s relationship with the eight great families.

Someone else said, “But our family’s talents have declined. There’s no hope of revival. The decline is right in front of us. We can only pin our hopes on the Celestial Gate Mountain secret realm.”

“However, the other families of Rodu are eyeing us covetously. It will be very difficult for us to take a bite out of them.”

For a moment, everyone was in a deadlock.

The final decision-making power was handed over to Fifth Master Zhang, who was the most senior in the Zhang family.

“When your grandfather was alive, he always warned me not to forget to revitalize the family. Unfortunately, my brothers and I are useless. We can only watch the Zhang family decline.”

Fifth Master Zhang sighed, two lines of turbid tears flowing down from the corners of his eyes.

“Now, the talents of the Zhang family have declined, and the good and bad aren’t good enough. I’m also getting old, and it’ll be very difficult to see the Zhang family prosper again.”

“Fifth Uncle!”

“Fifth Master!”

Many members of the Zhang family were also choked up, feeling extremely stifled.

“I’ve also seen how extraordinary young friend Lu Benwei is today, so don’t try to persuade him anymore!” Fifth Master Zhang sighed.

…

Three days later, at the Celestial Gate Mountain.

This was a continuous stretch of mountains, tall and steep, secluded, steep, dangerous, and strange.

To the south, a mountain peak was especially steep, like an ancient dragon rising from the ground, soaring straight into the clouds.

The Zhang family and the ancient aristocratic families of Rodu had set up camp at the foot of the mountain to the south. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

The entrance to the Celestial Gate Mountain secret realm had just been opened up less than three days ago, and the purest spiritual power surged out like a river.

Many of the experts who had followed them were overjoyed. They rushed forward to absorb the pure spiritual energy, but they regretted it when they flew in front of it.

The pure and pure spiritual energy surged endlessly, possessing incomparably powerful energy! A level-50 expert walked up to it, but half of his arm was cut off by the whistling spiritual energy!

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air and retreated five miles.

For powerhouses above level 60, the pure and refined spiritual energy were like high-grade medicine.

They flew forward and were in the center. They bathed in the spiritual qi and raised their levels.

However, they did not dare to absorb it wantonly. After each person absorbed it for a few minutes, they had to retreat and settle the spiritual energy to transform it into spiritual energy for leveling up.

In the Zhang family’s camp, the Zhang family could only watch helplessly. None of the people in the main family were above level 60, so they could not go up and absorb it.

A few social hunters hired by the Zhang family were ready to move forward and absorb the pure spiritual power.

“Second Leader, can we go forward and absorb the spiritual energy?”

The person who spoke was a warrior, who had already completed the second transition and was at level 61.

The second-in-charge had a round face, big ears, a straight nose, and a square mouth. He was the Zhang family member who opposed Lu Benwei the most three days ago!

“Sure, but don’t be too greedy. The big head is still behind!” said the second head of the Zhang family.

The few hired hunters were overjoyed. “Alright!”

Then, they got up and headed to the foot of the Celestial Gate Mountain.

Just as they were about to leave the tent, a voice sounded.

“Brother Lu, please come in.”

Then, Zhang Chuchen lifted the tent flap and Lu Benwei and Chu Yan entered.

Almost everyone present was from the Zhang family. Other than Zhang Chuchen, no one had seen Chu Yan before.

“So beautiful!”

Chu Yan’s appearance was stunning, and her temperament was peerless.

The moment they entered the tent, everyone’s breathing stopped. Their expressions were dull as if they were in a space-time vortex.
