Family Rise by Daily Intelligence-Chapter 341 - 190: Who Will Claim the Top Honor? (Part 3)
Clan Leader Liang heard the words and saw hope once again.
He had already inquired from the Eighth-Grade Nangong Family that this time the rewards for the champion from the World Suppression Bureau were more generous than ever before.
Clan Leader Cui saw that Clan Leader Liang was smiling instead of getting angry.
With a swift glance, he also looked at the Barrier Gate, his eyes slightly narrowed:
"It seems there’s still the variable of the Fu Family!"
At this moment.
At the Barrier Gate.
Everyone had different thoughts about whether the people from the Fu Family could come out alive, but the same thing was that everyone hoped time would pass faster, even faster.
In the blink of an eye.
A small half-hour passed.
At this moment.
The inner door of the Barrier Gate hummed softly, then a long resonance lit up.
Everyone’s faces changed.
This indicated that at least a Tier Three Demon General was approaching the barrier.
Clan Leader Nangong quickly said:
"Master Cao, we can’t wait any longer, close the barrier immediately!"
At this time.
Cao Xiang’er was also shocked at heart.
To avoid drawing strange looks from others, she had intentionally distanced herself from Fu Changsheng and used a secret technique to exit the Demon Realm first, fearing something might have happened to him inside.
No matter what.
Fu Changsheng was her savior, after all.
Clan Leader Shi had never seen Cao Xiang’er so hesitant before, and couldn’t help saying:
"Master Cao, all the cultivators here can prove that you persisted until the last moment; it’s time to close the barrier. Otherwise, not only will we perish here today, but the entire South Huai Prefecture will also suffer devastation!"
Shangguan Feng gritted his teeth and said:
"Master Cao, wait a little longer. The barrier warns of a Tier Three Demon General within five hundred miles. Even if the Demon General uses a secret technique, it can’t arrive in an instant."
Cao Xiang’er took a deep breath.
Having witnessed the escape speed of a Great Cultivator of the Purple Mansion, she quickly calculated the remaining time and wasn’t disturbed by the persuasion from the three families.
As the final moment arrived.
Cao Xiang’er sighed inwardly and said:
"Close the barrier!"
She had already pushed herself to the limit.
Upon hearing these words, the Nangong Family and the Shi Family quickly formed techniques, and with several incantations sent into the array hub, the Barrier Gate began to merge with a rumbling sound.
At this moment, Shangguan Feng heard Shangguan Hongyu’s urgent plea:
"Father, wait a little longer, wait a little longer! Changsheng will be fine, he..."
Before the words were finished.
A streak of cyan light rushed out from the Demon Realm.
The light faded.
It was Fu Changsheng and his companions riding on the Cyan Python.
Shangguan Hongyu hurried forward:
"Changsheng!"
She knew it, Changsheng was not someone with a short life!
Fu Changsheng, seeing Shangguan Hongyu genuinely concerned about his safety, was touched and smiled reassuringly: "Hongyu, I’m fine, I’m fine."
On the other side.
Cao Xiang’er, seeing Fu Changsheng and Shangguan Hongyu chatting happily, almost like a couple reunited after a separation, recalled the information in the Intelligence Department about their relationship and turned her head away with a cold snort, her concern for Fu Changsheng vanished.
After Fu Changsheng came out.
The Second Elder and Third Elder of the Gongsun Family followed closely behind.
Before they could stop, they immediately said:
"Quick, quick, close the barrier!"
They didn’t need to say it.
Accompanying the moment they exited.
Rumble!
The whole barrier immediately merged together.
With a hum.
A Royal Jade Seal was embedded in the Barrier Gate, with strands of power pouring in. As long as the Great Zhou remained, it was clear that this Barrier Gate could not be opened from the inside.
Everyone collectively breathed a sigh of relief.
Grand Elder Liang cheerfully stepped forward and cupped his hands toward Fu Changsheng:
"Young Friend Fu, escaping calamity is surely followed by great fortune."
After chatting for a few sentences.
Grand Elder Liang directly transmitted a message:
"Young Friend Fu, how many Demon Crystals and Demon Pearls do you have in your hand?"
Fu Changsheng hadn’t had the chance to check the demon pattern box in the Mighty General’s secret chamber, so he naturally didn’t know how many Demon Pearls and Demon Crystals there were.
He hadn’t responded yet.
Shangguan Hongyu, who was standing with him, quickly said:
"Changsheng, the number of Demon Pearls and Demon Crystals is crucial this time. No matter what Old Ghost Liang promises you, you cannot give him the Demon Crystals."
Originally confident, Clan Leader Cui, upon seeing Fu Changsheng appear, panicked and quickly approached:
"Fu Clan Leader, I knew you would definitely come out of the Demon Realm alive."
After speaking.
He immediately transmitted a message:
"Fu Clan Leader, no matter what conditions the Liang Family offers you, I can pay you double. You must not give the Demon Crystals and Demon Pearls to the Liang Family."
At this moment.
The Fu Family undoubtedly became the key to the game.
Seeing this, Grand Elder Liang knew that he had to show his true intentions. He stopped pretending and directly transmitted: 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
"Young Friend Fu, years ago, when your Fu Family was insignificant, our Liang Family supported you. We ask nothing more, but today, please give us ten of those Tier Two Low-Grade Demon Pearls, and we’ll consider past favors settled."
Debts of gratitude must eventually be repaid.
However.
This matter involved slots for entering the Canglan Secret Realm and the distribution of benefits among the Nine Great Families. Without thinking, Fu Changsheng was about to politely refuse, but suddenly, a thought occurred to him. He quickly sent his Divine Sense into the demon pattern box to take a look. On their return journey, he had already unlocked the restriction but hadn’t had time to check because they encountered the Gongsun Family being chased by a Tier Three Demon General.
On the other side.
The personnel responsible for registering Demon Crystals and Demon Pearls in the World Suppression Bureau had already recorded those from the Gongsun Family. Seeing that neither the Liang Family nor the Fu Family had come forward, they impatiently said:
"Fu Clan Leader, Clan Leader Liang, you are the only ones left, please step forward."
