Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 300 Loan
"So, in the end, I compromised and passed on some information about Zhou Leng to my second brother, but I didn't tell him the important things. At the same time, I didn't tell Zhou Leng about my second brother either, to avoid escalating the conflict between the two."

“You may think that I betrayed my second brother, but in reality, I also protected him. As for Zhou Leng’s strength, let alone you and me, even Zhang Xinglie can only be on par with him.”

"It was for the sake of the Rao family that I wanted to resolve the feud between the two of them. I originally thought that after the Guhe trial was over, I would find an opportunity to make peace..."

Rao Mingjun interrupted Rao Mingxian without any politeness, saying, "Xiao Xing's strength is no less than yours, and may even be better. Why did you enter here, but he didn't?"

“I cannot reveal the affairs of the Ancient River Sect to outsiders,” Rao Mingxian said.

"Did Zhou Leng use some underhanded means to ruin Xiao Xing's future and prevent her from entering this place?" Rao Mingjun's face was ashen.

As Rao Mingxian looked at Rao Mingjun's face, he became increasingly panicked. He instinctively superimposed his grandfather's face on Rao Mingjun's.

Rao Mingjun's power far surpasses that of Rao Fuxing.

Rao Mingxian's family was completely suppressed by the main family, where Rao Mingjun worked.

When Zhao Sheng came to Rucheng, he stayed at the Rao family's house. Last year, Zhao Tong came to Rucheng.

The name Rao Bancheng does not belong to Rao Mingxian's family, but to Rao Mingjun's family.

Even his second uncle, who married into the Zhao family, had already advanced to the Innate Realm, but every time he came to Rucheng, he had to go to the Rao family's main residence before returning home.

The marriage between his second uncle and a member of a collateral branch of the Zhao family was arranged by the head of the Rao family.

Rao Mingxian smiled wryly, "Brother, it really doesn't have to be that bad. I can't go into the specifics, but think about it, that's the Starry Sky Sect Trial. What right does Zhou Leng have to make decisions?"

"Why didn't Zhou Leng appear on the list of young talents?"

“It might be an accident…” Rao Mingxian was about to say that his strength might not be enough, but he shut his mouth.

Rao Mingjun sneered, "An accident? You've praised Zhou Leng so many times along the way, and I've been pretending not to hear. Now you're talking about an accident? You said to my face that if Zhou Leng entered here and didn't make it onto the Youth Ranking, he would definitely make it onto an even better ranking."

Rao Mingxian remained silent.

Rao Mingjun reached out and patted Rao Mingxian on the shoulder.

“Mingxian, although we’re not close, I’ve always considered you a brother.”

"But you are not good, very bad."

"Xiao Xing has always treated you like a brother. Back then, when your grandfather beat you in front of the whole family, didn't Xiao Xing stand up for you and protect you?"

"Ah."

"Back then, when you were bullied by some thugs from outside the school and they wanted to cause you trouble, didn't Xiaoxing stand up for you and settle things with them?"

"Ah."

“There are some little things that Xiaoxing probably doesn’t remember, but I’m sure you do, right?”

"Ah."

“Mingxian, the blood that flows in your veins and the flesh that grows on your body will always belong to the Rao family.”

"Hmm." Rao Mingxian lowered his head slightly, not daring to look at Rao Mingjun.

Rao Mingjun stared into Rao Mingxian's eyes and slowly said, "Do you think your grandfather could have suppressed the series of bloody incidents at No. 59 Middle School by himself?"

A thunderclap on flat ground, a thunderous sound that shook the heavens and earth.

Rao Mingxian's ears were ringing, his eyes widened, and he stared at Rao Mingjun in disbelief.

A deep fear flickered in his eyes.

At that moment, he felt as if he had been stripped naked and was standing in front of Rao Mingjun.

Rao Mingjun smiled; he was very satisfied with Rao Mingxian's reaction.

Rao Mingjun patted Rao Mingxian on the shoulder again and said, "Xiao Xing is too naive. His father is afraid that he won't be able to control his mouth, so he doesn't tell him many things. I'm different. I know a lot. For example, I know why your strength has improved by leaps and bounds and what your grandfather has done for you."

Rao Mingxian's face turned pale, and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

Rao Mingjun became increasingly satisfied.

He said, "I know everything, but I still treat you as a member of the Rao family. If Zhou Leng knew about those things, would he still consider you a friend?"

Rao Mingxian stood frozen in place, the blood in his body slowly freezing.

My heart was so cold it ached, as if it might burst at any moment.

This was a question he never dared to think about; he always avoided it like the plague of boiling water.

Rao Mingjun said, "I'll give you three more days to think it over. I need to know more about Zhou Leng. I can't let the Rao family face a future genius enemy."

After Rao Mingjun finished speaking, he turned and left.

Rao Mingxian stared at Rao Mingjun's retreating figure, remaining silent for a long time.

Zhou Leng arrived at the Demon Spirit Master camp, found Cang Fei Zhi Yan, took out the large amount of spoils he had collected over the past few days, and handed them over to Cang Fei Zhi Yan for valuation.

"Twelve Demon Spirit Bags, estimated at 96 million Dragon Kingdom Yuan... Demon-related medicines, estimated at 120 million Dragon Kingdom Yuan... Demon materials, estimated at 65 million Dragon Kingdom Yuan..."

"Finally, the total estimated value is 370 million."

"I've also acquired a lot of medicinal fruits, and I'll pick out the ones worth 370 million..."

Cangfeizhiyan selected out a large number of medicinal fruits, a total of nineteen portions.

“You demon spirit masters are indeed very good at treasure hunting.” Zhou Leng took the medicinal fruit.

“The demon spirit is supreme,” Azure Flame smiled.

Zhou Leng asked, "What's the most money you can lend me?"

"Five hundred million Chinese Yuan."

"Ten billion."

"Are you sure?" Cang Fei Zhi Yan asked.

"determine."

"Okay! Let me calculate how much the remaining medicinal fruit is worth."

As Cang Fei Zhi Yan spoke, he counted the remaining medicinal fruits.

"These are worth 320 million. You can keep them for now."

Zhou Leng took the medicinal fruit. Having killed so many demons, he now owed 320 million.

"What's the best way to eat black gold silkworm fruit?" Zhou Leng asked casually.

"Hmm? Insect fruit? Black gold silkworm fruit?" Cang Fei Zhi Yan's eyes flashed.

"Correct."

“Sell it to me for 700 million, no, 1 billion! Even at an auction outside, it would be hard to get a price higher than that.”

"So expensive?" Zhou Leng asked.

Cangfei Zhiyan said, "You should know that insect fruits and beast fruits are not only famous in the Ten Realms, but also treasures in the Starry Sky World."

"The Black Gold Silkworm Fruit is one of them. After consuming it, it can not only slightly enhance one's mental will, but also add a layer of mental cocoon to the surface of one's mental will. If one encounters an excessively strong mental attack, this mental cocoon can neutralize the mental attack."

"It's also useful for martial arts willpower?"

"Martial will and spiritual will are the same thing. To put it this way, if there were a demigod succubus right now, she could turn you and me into slaves with just one of her most basic spells. But with the spiritual cocoon, even if she uses the most powerful charm spell, it will fail once."

"Your information doesn't contain that much detail."

"Of course. This is exactly what we spirit masters need most. Those things that enhance the body are useless to us. Name your price."

Zhou Leng said, "I really can't sell it, especially since it was a gift from a friend."

Cang Fei Zhi Yan sighed and said, "Forget it, this thing is like an extra life. I wouldn't sell it even if it were me."

“If there’s a next item, I’ll sell it to you at 20% off,” Zhou Leng said.

“Okay.” Azure Flame smiled.

"Didn't you see the molten hammer?" Zhou Leng asked.

"I didn't see him, but as long as he's alive, that's fine."

Zhou Leng thought for a moment, realizing he had too much of the strange snake's blood and couldn't use it all, so he took out a bottle.

"To thank you for your help, I'll sell you this bottle of serpent blood. As for the price, you can give me a 20% discount after you've figured it out. Just so you know, this is the blood of the serpent leader, the serpent that guards the Dragon Blood Flower, and it contains the power of the Starry Sky Dragon Blood within it."

Cang Feizhi Yan accepted the gift with both hands and solemnly said, "Don't worry, I will definitely give you the best price. Even a single drop of Starry Sky Dragon Blood is enough to cause a frenzy of bidding."

Zhou Leng looked at the strange snake's blood and thought of the Deep Dark Wrath.

Of all the trial participants, only Dark Fury possesses true Starry Sky Bloodline, and Starry Sky Dragon Blood is most compatible with him.

Once he absorbs the blood of the monstrous snake, he will grow to an unimaginable size.

Once they leave Hundred Peaks Valley, Deep Dark Wrath will likely rival Li Shenkong.

Unfortunately, human warriors have a significant weakness compared to dragons: they grow much slower and have to learn a lot more.

Like the deepest, darkest wrath, it grows through bloodline and instinct, naturally becoming a Grandmaster upon reaching adulthood.

The two sides exchanged intelligence and learned that the Demon Alliance was planning both cooperation and a decisive battle. Cang Feizhiyan led Zhou Leng into the Demon Spirit Master camp, gathered a few powerful Demon Spirit Masters, and relayed this information.

After a brief discussion with Zhou Leng, the demon spirit masters decided that the humanoid alliance should also unite.

As a result, the spirit masters took action.

Upon learning that Zhou Leng was buying medicinal fruits, some magic masters generously sold theirs.

I also bought over thirty Star Conch shells at a low price and got some Demonized Spears.

The interest-free loan to Azure Flame has increased to 450 million.

Zhou Leng, carrying fresh Hundred Peaks Valley medicinal fruits, turned and left, popping one into his mouth and running while chewing.

Beneath the highest mountain, a monster alliance.

The blasphemous page summoned a horde of demons.

"The invincible Lord Dark Wrath has been cultivating and absorbing the medicinal power for many days. Now, you will form your own large teams and roam the surrounding area to hunt down the trial participants of the Humanoid Alliance."

"Remember, conserve your strength and don't fight head-on. We still need to conquer the highest peak."

"Beware of the humans who have risen to prominence on the youth list; they are sinister and incredibly powerful. As far as I know, they have already killed quite a few demons."

“Especially Zhang Xinglie and Song Juesi, who are said to be among the top ten on the youth list. Be extra careful when you encounter them.”

Azure Scales shouted, "Has anyone spotted someone named Zhou Leng?"

The page-turning boy, who had been desecrating the book, turned the pages.

"It just so happens that recent intelligence indicates Zhou Leng appeared in the human camp. I remember you fought him?" The Blasphemous Scholar looked at Azure Scale.

"Where is he? I will kill him to prove my path to innate power," said Azure Scale.

"We can't find him, but it's said he was very powerful. Unfortunately, no evidence was left behind."

Azure Scale looked at Shen Jun and said, "Let's join forces to find Zhou Leng's trail. Don't you also want to kill Zhou Leng?"

Shen Jun nodded and said, "Okay!"

What do you think of Zhou Leng's current skill level?

"He has also entered the Ancient River Trial, so his strength is naturally extraordinary. However, even the strongest has its limits."

"The Ancient River Trial... what a headache."

"what happened?"

“I’ve heard from my elders that those with the Blood of Tyranny must also undergo trials in the Ancient River Sect. We suspect that the Blood of Tyranny’s inheritance is related to the Ancient River Sect.”

"Even if Zhou Leng obtains the ancient river's inheritance, he won't be able to grow much in just over a month."

Azure Scale looked around and said, "If we really can't deal with Zhou Leng, we'll wait for Lord Guan Canglong to return and ask him to kill Zhou Leng."

"good idea."

"go!"

This group of over twenty sirens and demon worshippers left the demon camp to search for humans.
