I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 1651 - 1655: Even Adding 5 Billion Divine Crystals Can’t Make Me Happy
Zhang Menglong's sudden change of face left Zhan Xun utterly confused. Why did he flip so suddenly?
Even though his words earlier carried a bit of threat, it was merely a reminder to Zhang Menglong not to act recklessly. Didn't he see this as a normal thing?
He overlooked one thing, though. If the opponent were a renowned alchemist across the continent, he would have some confidence in them. No matter what the other party wanted, as long as he could provide it, he would still treat them with respect without uttering any harsh words.
But this so-called Master Zhang before him indeed predicted the fire poison outbreak on Old Master's body last night. However, just achieving this might also be within reach for some Level Six alchemists or those particularly sensitive to flames.
Moreover, Zhang Menglong was too young, and his life level was pitifully weak. An alchemist also requires strong backing as support. Otherwise, exhausting one's divine breath halfway through alchemy could be perilous.
Hence, he naturally labeled Zhang Menglong. Even if this Master Zhang had a way to save Old Master, he probably relied on external resources, like some miraculous treasure obtained by chance or items left by others, which should not have much to do with him.
Therefore, in his mind, Zhang Menglong's status was downgraded, and he did not face him with the attitude reserved for high-level alchemists. Such words were uttered instinctively.
However, Zhang Menglong found those words very displeasing.
What do you mean by this? Are you saying that if I can't heal him, you'll make me pay? First, you doubt my ability, and then you dare to threaten me?
He indeed needed this Agate Dragon's essence, but it wasn't absolutely necessary. There are other such essences in the world, not just in their Zhan Family's hands.
Moreover, with his current ability, there are many ways to improve Gu Xiao's body, at most being slightly more troublesome and spending a bit more effort, but not quite like an emergency!
"You seem to have misunderstood the situation," Zhang Menglong articulated each word, "It is *you* who are asking me for help now, not *you* teaching me how to act. You better figure out the current situation before you come to me again!"
Zhang Menglong then disregarded them and turned to leave.
"Wait!" Zhan Xun's temper flared up. In the Yanlan Empire, no one dared to disrespect the Zhan Family. Who does he think he is to dare lecture me?
Upon seeing Zhang Menglong, most people instinctively removed him from the list of those untouchable. Since he refuses to help, then force him to; such is the fearless style of the Zhan Family!
"I don't care what ability you have to heal my father, but today, regardless, I must insist on you coming to our Zhan Family!" Zhan Xun's aura enveloped Zhang Menglong, and his power was already very close to that of a Super Life Form!
In the original world, although Zhang Menglong only had the life level of a Level Six perfect creature, tackling some Level Nine life forms was not difficult, but it was still quite a leap to a Super Life Form.
Moreover, here, due to the world's force, these beings were stronger than those in the human world. Without relying on the Super God Academy's power, he couldn't really deal with Zhan Xun.
Using the power of the Super God Academy requires a basic prerequisite for one's physical fitness. To use the power of a Super Life Form, Zhang Menglong's physical fitness must be above that of a perfect creature, which Gu Xiao's current body cannot contain!
In the martial world, there's bound to be danger, frequent encounters with peril are inevitable for someone like Zhang Menglong who often puts on airs. His reason for daring to confront the Zhan Family must be because he has a trump card.
Seeing Zhang Menglong immobilized by Zhan Xun's aura, the Third Princess became anxious.
"Uncle Zhan, we can talk things over. Please, don't resort to violence!"
"Third Princess, this matter has nothing to do with you," Zhan Xun had no intention of backing down, "If Master heals my father, I will personally apologize to him and present a heavy gift. Please step aside; I don't want you to get hurt!"
"Third Princess, step aside, it's okay," Zhang Menglong, although restrained by the aura, secretly protected his body with his soul power. He couldn't defeat Zhan Xun, but such an aura is unlikely to harm him.
"I only intended for you to think things through, but it seems you wish to get rough with me," Zhang Menglong laughed, "Before, I just wanted the Agate Dragon's essence, but now even adding 5 billion divine crystals isn't enough!"
"Hmph, 5 billion divine crystals, you indeed have the audacity to ask so much. Do you really take yourself as some great Master?"
Zhan Xun had no more time to waste here. He was about to forcibly take Zhang Menglong away, but then, another powerful aura emerged next to Zhang Menglong, hundreds of times stronger than Zhan Xun's. It instantly shattered Zhan Xun's oppressive aura, leaving everyone from the Zhan Family breathless.
"A Divine Cultivation Realm expert!" Zhan Xun's expression changed. Such an effortless release could only come from someone at the Divine Cultivation Realm. Zhang Menglong had someone like this as protection!
"No… Why is this aura so familiar? It seems like Qing…"
"Zhan Xun, you really have grown bold, daring to act tough on the Master!" Qing Kong slowly emerged from behind Zhang Menglong, "The person even I dare not touch, and you come here acting recklessly? Didn't your father teach you any better?"
"Qing… Uncle Qing…" Qing Kong is from the same generation as the Zhan Family's Old Master, only second to him in personal strength back in the day. Now, he is the undisputed number one powerhouse in the Yanlan Empire!
He would actually humble himself to serve as Zhang Menglong's bodyguard?
He suddenly recalled something Zhan Qing had told him; this so-called Master Zhang seemingly crafted a Saint Grade Divine Weapon for Qing Kong! However, this story sounded too fantastical; without seeing it personally or supporting evidence, the Zhan Family had passively ignored it. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
But now, it seems this is not without basis. Otherwise, how to explain Qing Kong coming to protect Zhang Menglong?
"Damn, it's a good thing I didn't act disrespectfully back then, or offending the Master would have made me miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Seeing the scenario, Qing Kong even felt a twinge of gratitude inside.
"Uncle Qing, why are you…"
"No, I'm not your uncle. If the Master misunderstands, I don't want our relationship to sour," Qing Kong stated, "I know your father is in dire peril, but if you want to ask for help, come with respect and sincerity."
"If you insist on using force," Qing Kong sneered, "I don't mind teaching you young ones, who know no bounds, a lesson on your father's behalf!"
