Please be my partner.

The moment he saw the passenger plane, Wei Zichun felt a sense of relief. The Grandmaster was powerful, but the sky was high and the sea was vast. Once the plane took off, even a Grandmaster would find it difficult to lock onto it unless the route was leaked. After boarding the plane, it would only take them thirteen hours to reach the Holy City Federation, and they would be basically safe by then.

Just as Wei Zichun was thinking this, several strong men walking in front of him suddenly fell to the ground silently. This made his heart skip a beat, and then he heard a conversation that almost made him lose his mind.

Teng Junqing said leisurely, "Xiao Luo, I thought you would wait until we arrived at the Holy City Federation before taking action."

One tall and one short, two sturdy men in short clothes walked out slowly, exuding an undisguised masterful aura.

The tall man known as Xiao Luo said, "Once we reach the Holy City Federation, we'll be entering the territory of the Shenglong Sect, which might actually cause more trouble." He pointed to his headphones and continued, "This place is over fifty kilometers away from Grandmaster Mellen. He's still in the library. Even with his strength, he can't get here instantly, so we're here."

The short, sturdy man said apologetically, "I'm sorry, we didn't act as agreed last night."

Teng Junqing sighed, shook his head, and said, "I don't blame you. Even if you had taken action yesterday, I'm afraid the result would have been the same. We underestimated that person's strength."

Xiao Luo turned his gaze towards Wei Zichun and the others and asked, "What should we do with these people? They seem to be that person's men. Should we kill them all?"

Wei Zichun shuddered.

Teng Junqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Well, this young man has taken good care of them along the way, so let them go."

Wei Zichun breathed a sigh of relief this time.

In fact, the more important reason why Teng Junqing said this was that he didn't want to offend Mellen to death. After all, they were just some insignificant little characters.

Xiao Luo shrugged indifferently and turned his gaze to the box in Wei Zichun's hand, which contained Dongfang Shuo's sword.

Wei Zichun looked a little struggling, but he also knew that facing two great masters, he could do nothing and could only hand over the box obediently.

Xiao Luo gave Wei Zichun a look that said, "You better know what's best for you."

When Xiao Luo approached within ten meters of Wei Zichun, his expression suddenly changed slightly.

Although Teng Junqing and Shangguan Wan's martial arts abilities were sealed, they were still able to keenly sense the subtle changes and shouted, "Oh no! This is a trap! Get out of here!"

Ronaldinho was about to retreat immediately, but it was too late.

The special box in Wei Zichun's hand shattered silently, and blood gushed out like a wave, forming a ferocious monster in an instant.

This giant beast crawled on all fours, its entire body was red, and it was burning with raging flames of blood. It exuded a terrifying aura of extreme ferocity and evil. Any living thing that saw it would instinctively tremble in fear.

The blood-colored giant beast immediately locked onto the two masters, one tall and one short, and turned into a beam of blood light and pounced directly at them.

Xiao Luo and the short grandmaster emitted golden light all over their bodies, and with the combined efforts of the two, the golden light merged into one, becoming even more powerful.

But, it’s useless!

The blood light spread, and the golden light was like small waves splashing in the river, shattering at the slightest touch.

After the bloodbath, most of the blood in the two masters' bodies was devoured, leaving only skin and bones, breathing out more than breathing in.

The blood-colored giant beast glanced at the others with a dark gaze, then disintegrated and collapsed, turning into strands and returning to the sword.

Shangguan Wan was no longer as calm and composed as before, and her face was pale and pale. Teng Junqing also seemed to have aged a little.

Although his body was still shaking instinctively, Wei Zichun took a deep breath to calm himself down, quickly walked to the sword and held it in his hand.

With the sword in hand and nothing unusual happening, Wei Zichun's fear subsided, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel a little greedy.

This sword holds a demon that can easily kill a Grandmaster. If, if only...

Wei Zichun shuddered suddenly, the greed in his eyes quickly dissipated, and he regained clarity.

Putting aside whether Wei Zichun could command this terrifying monster, just looking at the reactions of those masters, one could tell that this terrifying monster was definitely the work of one of his "big shots." Was Wei Zichun so tired of living that he chose to die like this?!

Holding the sword, Wei Zichun looked at Teng Junqing and Shangguan Wan, who were obviously more weak and even a little distraught. His heart was suddenly filled with confidence. Although he was still respectful to them, he was no longer as timid as at the beginning.

This time, the group boarded the plane smoothly and flew away quickly.

In the library, Mellen paused while turning the pages of a book, sensing the battle in the distance.

With a slight smile, Melen didn't care about the outcome of the battle. After all, the means in the sword were arranged by him personally. Although only a tiny bit of the power of Little Red Lotus was injected into it, it was the power of a saint after all. It was naturally a crushing level against a mere grandmaster.

The reason for doing this is due to a joke that Melen saw in his previous life.

Question: If you kill the enemy’s entire family and suddenly find that there is a child outside when you leave, what should you do?

Mellen remembered one of the answers was to say to the child, 'Next time we meet, we will be mortal enemies, and it will be a fight to the death,' then turn and leave, and return a moment later, saying, 'What a coincidence, we meet again,' and then kill the child.

Of course, Mellen didn't really have much fondness for this self-deceiving approach. In comparison, he appreciated another way of dealing with it.

Pretend not to see it, leave and disguise yourself as a kind person to rescue the child, then ask him if there is anyone he can rely on. After asking clearly, kill these people one by one, and then wait outside, whoever comes to investigate the situation will be punished, whoever comes to visit will be punished, and when no one comes, bury these people properly, and continue to wait after the burial, whoever comes to pay tribute will be punished!

Highlight the root of the problem!!

Melen felt that anyone who could come up with this method of dealing with things would be forced to step down when the King of Hell saw him. Even if Satan in hell wanted to tattoo him on his body, he could only do so in half. If he tattooed the whole thing, Satan might not be able to subdue him.

Ahem, that’s too far off topic.

For Mellen, fishing was a natural thing to do. After all, there were quite a few people watching the show last night. It would be great if he could catch something, but it didn't matter if he got nothing.

As for those minions who were just monitoring him and now fled in a panic, Mellen didn't even bother to pay any attention to them.

After spending another two days reading all the books in the library step by step, Melen bid farewell to this secluded sect.

Seeing Meilun come out, the dusty Wei Zichun respectfully handed over the sword and said, "The five masters have been successfully sent to Shenglong Sect. The peak master said he would take care of them. The peak master also said that this sword is too evil, so he asked me to return it to you."

Melun took the sword, and after a moment, threw it back to Wei Zichun, saying, "This is for you."

Wei Zichun originally thought that he would be embarrassed when Mellen threw such a heavy sword to him, but he didn't expect that it would be so light when he held it, and it was completely different from the previous weight.

Suddenly, he realized that the terrifying monster in the sword should have been taken back by Melen.

Wei Zichun then showed a look of surprise. You know, although the sword in his hand is not a sect-level divine object, it is also a spiritual sword. Even if a master-level strongman holds it, it can greatly improve his strength.

Moreover, every generation of holders of this sword are master swordsmen, and the sword principles and sword intentions have long been integrated into it. If an ordinary person holds it to practice sword, it can achieve twice the result with half the effort. If a person with amazing comprehension holds it, it is even possible to comprehend some profound sword techniques and sword arts from it.

This is simply a treasure that sword cultivators dream of. For a large family, its significance is self-evident.

More importantly, this sword was given by their own "big brother". To some extent, it represents Mellen's face and power. With Mellen's suppression, the Wei family's possession of this sword is absolutely "orthodox". Not to mention other people, even if Dongfang Shuo is released from prison one day, he would not dare to ask for it easily.

After Wei Zichun helped Melen arrange his next itinerary, he played with the sword in his hand, feeling the sharpness contained in it. After a long time, he made up his mind and did not take it for himself, but sent it directly back to the tribe.

As the saying goes, there are all kinds of birds in the forest.

Even though the Wei family is now on the rise with the help of Mellen's power, there are still some ignorant guys who think they have paid too much and Mellen has given too little. But there is no way, this is the undercurrent between big families.

What is divided here is not only right and wrong, but more importantly, 'you' and 'me'!

Now that Wei Zichun has returned the sword to the clan, he can not only consolidate his own position, but also shut up some people, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

Wei Zichun is not without roots in the Wei family. On the contrary, he is one of the most legitimate heirs, and there is a branch of the family working for him.

Wei Zichun believed that as long as he held on to Mellen's "big thick leg", not only would he be able to ascend to the position of head of the family in the near future, but he would also be able to lead the Wei family to a higher level in the future.

On the private plane, Mellen tasted exotic food that looked strange but tasted surprisingly delicious. The people serving him were all beautiful women with different styles. Some of them behaved reservedly, while others behaved hot and sexy. But no matter what, they all looked ready to get whatever they wanted.

Mellen naturally enjoyed this.

Only when they were about to reach their next destination did Melen have time to take out the broken branch of the Tongtian Spiritual Wood he had obtained from Shangguan Wan.

This is a straight branch that is as thick as an arm and about one and a half meters long. If it is thrown into the forest, I am afraid no one will take a second look at it, because it is no different from an ordinary dead branch.

Melen had to hold it in his hand and sense it carefully before he could detect a hint of hidden energy.

This residual energy does seem to be related to space, but because it is too thin, it is difficult to have any effect.

However, Mellen did not rush to draw a conclusion. Instead, he planned to rely on the knowledge he had learned and study it carefully before making a decision.

Chapter 365 Research and a Big Deal

As time went by, Mellen's reputation became more and more prominent, and from time to time, masters would come to him and want to play a "friendly match" with him.

In this regard, Mellen also accepts everyone. For those who come to make friends, Mellen basically stops at the right time, but for those who obviously have bad intentions, Mellen will give them a light punishment or a stern warning.

The spread of reputation brought a lot of convenience to Melen's journey. Many powerful sects would voluntarily open their own collections of books for Melen to read without Melen having to negotiate too much. Occasionally, when he met some people who wanted to make a big investment to make friends with Melen, they would even open the sect's secret martial arts books for Melen to read at will.

Mellen naturally benefited a lot in this process, and of course he would repay the latter by using his powerful computing power to leave annotations for those martial arts secret books. A small part of these annotations made up for the shortcomings, and most of them were more concise and efficient methods of practice, making those martial arts secret books easier to understand and practice.

After studying Mellen's annotations, many sects were stunned, because practicing according to Mellen's method was more efficient than their previous methods.

When this reputation spread, more and more sects invited Mellen to visit their own libraries, including some martial arts families with ancient traditions.

Of course, the latter are very rare in comparison, and Mellen did not get satisfactory results after visiting several families. It can even be said that the experience was a bit bad. The martial arts families are much more conservative than the sects. Many of them are like guarding against thieves when they see him.

Mellen naturally would not tolerate these things, and directly accepted the invitations from the nearby sects of these martial arts families. Not only did he spend a little time helping them deduce and improve the basic martial arts, he also gave some guidance to several young geniuses that he admired.

You know, the various resources produced in an area per unit time are fixed. If you take more, I will take less. So how do we determine the size of each company's cake?

Of course, it depends on your strength!

Although Mellen's actions may seem insignificant, in a few years or even more than ten years, when geniuses who have learned Mellen's improved methods and accepted Mellen's guidance rise up, the original division of interests in this area will inevitably be broken, and then those martial arts families will cry.

That’s right, Mellen is such a petty person!

Time passed, and half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

As his reputation spread, it became easier and easier for Melen to get what he wanted, such as the broken branches of the Tongtian Spiritual Tree, the fragments of the boundary monument, the fragments of the gilded wall, etc.

The boundary monument is the core object that guards the world in legend. It contains the principles and theories of the entire world. Even a fragment of it may be possible to comprehend unimaginable martial arts skills.

The Gilded Wall is a legendary barrier that separates all realms. It is said that if a battle breaks out between peerless masters, the Gilded Wall may be broken, causing its fragments to scatter across all realms.

Melen was unable to verify the authenticity of these legends, but he could indeed feel some aura close to the origin of the rules from these legendary treasures.

Of course, it is almost impossible to comprehend anything from such a small amount of breath, at least for Melen, unless the Holy Spirit Dog takes action personally. However, the Holy Spirit Dog has been obsessed with Shinto research recently, and Melen doesn't want to disturb it.

Fortunately, Melen also got some of what he wanted from these legendary objects, that is, space-related energy.

After a period of research and analysis, Melen discovered that as long as he could collect more of this spatial energy, it would be entirely possible to weaken the barriers between the worlds, thereby achieving the goal of "breaking the void and ascending to the upper realm" in advance.

With this understanding, the next goal is very clear...

Try to collect as many items as possible that contain space energy or the aura of another world.

Regarding this, Melen has already asked the forces that are on good terms with him to do it. With his wealth, he is not afraid of not being able to pay the price. It's just that the progress is a bit slow.

At this time, Melen was on his way to the Wei family.

This trip to the Wei family was mainly for two things...

Firstly, the Wei family had been working tirelessly for Mellen for so long, so it was only right for him to go and take a look, and at the same time, he also wanted to support Wei Zichun.

Second, Melen needs the help of the Wei family's high-tech laboratory to conduct some experiments.

Soon, the private plane entered the Holy City Federation and landed in an ancient city called Cuiluoyuan.

Although Cuiluoyuan still belongs to the federal city in name, almost all officials from top to bottom are related to the Wei family. At least half of the large and small industries in the city belong to the Wei family. It is equivalent to the entire city working for the Wei family, which is equivalent to self-governance.

This is a tacitly accepted fact among the top brass of the Federation, not only among the Wei family, but also among almost all aristocratic families and martial arts schools.

Not to mention the powerful sect like Shenglong Sect, even the hidden God Worshiping Sect still has a small village!

After the plane landed, Melen and Wei Zichun walked out slowly. At the bottom of the plane stairs, more than a dozen people, young and old, looked like they had been waiting for a long time.

Wei Zichun had been respectfully standing half a body length behind Mellen. When Mellen was about to reach the group, Wei Zichun took two quick steps to his front and pointed to a middle-aged man in fine clothes, introducing him to him: "Sir, this is my father, Wei Zongji. He admires you very much and often asks me to do my best to serve you over the phone."

"This is my great-grandfather, the backbone of our Wei family today... This is my uncle... This is me..."

Wei Zichun introduced four or five of the current leaders of the Wei family. Mellen nodded slightly after listening to them, and then said to Wei Zichun, "You know my purpose. It's up to you to make the arrangements."

Upon hearing this, Wei Zichun and his father Wei Zongji's faces flashed with obvious joy, a few others had slightly unusual looks in their eyes, and most of the others had respectful expressions from beginning to end.

With Mellen's keen perception, he could easily detect the complex thoughts of the people in front of him. Let alone eight hundred thoughts, the total number of thoughts of these people might be over eight thousand.

Melen just thought it was interesting and didn't care too much.

Because it was already late, Mellen decided to go to the laboratory tomorrow.

Under Wei Zichun's arrangement, Mellen soon arrived at the top-floor suite of Cuiluoyuan's top luxury hotel.

In the evening, a cocktail party was held in the luxury hotel, and Mellen was very considerate enough to attend, although only for a short while.

It is basically enough for Mellen to achieve this. If Wei Zichun is still unable to control the Wei family, it only means that he is not cut out for it. It is better for him not to think about becoming the head of the Wei family, lest the Wei family decline in his hands in the future.

When Mellen returned to the suite, he keenly noticed that there was someone in the room. Listening to the sweet voices, it was obvious that there was more than one person. This was a challenge to his weakness!

Mellen couldn't help but sneer and walked in. He wanted to see what kind of sugar-coated bullet it was.

The next morning, Melen went out in high spirits, and Wei Zichun had been waiting outside the door for a long time.

Led by Wei Zichun, the group drove to the outside of the city. It was a tightly sealed area and nothing could be seen from the outside. After passing several checkpoints, they saw some buildings with quite sci-fi shapes, which were the Wei family's high-tech research institute.

The director of the institute knew Mellen's identity in advance and behaved very humbly, repeatedly saying that he would definitely cooperate with Mellen's research.

This institute conducts research on energy and space, and what Mellen values is the cutting-edge research equipment here.

After taking a general tour of the research institute, Melen directly identified the instruments and equipment he needed. The supervisor immediately understood and suspended all existing projects to free up the instruments and equipment for Melen to use.
