Pounce on Empty Air
The world returned to silence. Everyone was dumbfounded. Their legs trembled as they stared straight ahead.
Everything was over.
The incomparably violent and demonic Black Gold Crescent Blade was fiercely suppressed by Lu Benwei and Chu Yan. Now, it was lying quietly in Lu Benwei’s hands.
No one dared to doubt that Lu Benwei’s heart would be corroded by him because Lu Benwei’s performance was too powerful.
“It’s over. We should leave this place as soon as possible,” Lu Benwei did not even turn his head as he said indifferently.
Everyone seemed to wake up from a dream. Only then did they understand that the battle was over, and they could leave this strange place.
After a series of twists and turns, Lu Benwei returned the Black Gold Crescent Blade to the Asura Demon God’s hall and returned to the Zhang family with Chu Yan.
In this expedition, Lu Benwei did not obtain any divine materials that he wanted. Instead, Chu Yan obtained a small piece of divine willow wood that could be used as the elemental core of the staff.
“Little Friend Lu Benwei, thank you so much! If it weren’t for you, so many people in our family might have died in there.”
The Zhang family thanked Lu Benwei again and again.
“It was an agreement in the first place. It’s only right for me to do this,” Lu Benwei said politely.
According to the agreement, Lu Benwei was supposed to take five divine materials and supreme treasures from the secret realm. However, other than one ore, Lu Benwei was not interested in anything else.
After taking the ore, the rest were left to the Zhang family. The Zhang family was filled with excitement and thanked him again and again.
The supreme treasures they obtained from the secret realm could either be sold for astronomical figures or be the raw materials of top-grade medicines, which could help people transform their bodies and improve their combat strength.
As for the other five families in Rodu, they had also obtained quite a few treasures.
However, in general, it was not as precious as the Zhang family. Moreover, they were heavily injured in the secret realm and their vitality was greatly damaged.
This gave the Zhang family a chance to rise and become the most powerful in Rodu.
“From now on, Brother Lu Benwei and Miss Chu Yan are the nobles of our Zhang family!” The Zhang family head solemnly informed everyone in the Zhang family.
“In the future, if they come to Rodu or are in trouble, the Zhang family will definitely help them.”
On the night before he stopped by the Zhang family, the alchemy expert of Rodu, Elder Sun, came knocking on his door. “Elder Sun, why are you looking for me?”
The purpose of Elder Sun’s visit was to find Lu Benwei.
“The secret of the Celestial Gate Mountain secret realm is too important. I’ve decided to report it to the higher-ups of the Dragon Kingdom.”
Lu Benwei was secretly shocked. He frowned and said, “So, Elder Sun come here because you want me to go to Dragon City with you?”
“That’s right! Little Friend Lu, what do you think? If the secrets of the Ze Kingdom are dug out and reappeared in the world, it will cause a huge shock in history! In the future, the entire history will remember our names,” Elder Sun replied, his eyes full of hope.
Lu Benwei frowned. He felt that this matter was not as simple as he thought.
After all, there was still the tomb of the Zhu family’s ancestor, one of the eight ultimate kings, in the secret realm.
“Elder Sun, I think it’s better for fewer people to know about these things. After all, you saw it yourself. There’s an ancient corpse sealed in the secret realm.” Lu Benwei reminded Elder Sun tactfully, “If we accidentally let them out, who knows how much trouble they might cause in Rodu.”
Hearing this, Elder Sun pursed his lips in dissatisfaction. “Alright, I’ll think about it again.”
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Elder Sun left the Zhang family.
The next day, Lu Benwei and Chu Yan bid farewell to the Zhang family.
Their next destination was Lu Benwei’s hometown – Green Spirit City in Hai Province.
“Before I left, Headmaster Chen Yuan recommended his former teacher to me. He had a unique skill in forging magic staffs. He’s in Green Spirit City in Hai Province now,” said Chu Yan.
“Just in time. I’m going back to see my parents too. Do you want to go together? My mom misses you so much.”
Chu Yan blushed. “Since you’re the one who invited me, then I’ll reluctantly go.”
Lu Benwei smiled faintly and called his mother, Jiang Xiuqin. As soon as the call connected, he heard a thunderous roar from the other end of the phone.
“Brat, you still know how to call back?” Jiang Xiuqin’s voice almost tore Lu Benwei’s eardrums.
“I really raised you two for nothing! You guys didn’t even call home!”
Lu Benwei grinned bitterly. Since the end of the winter vacation, he rarely called home. As for Lu Ziling, there was nothing he could do.
“Mom, I’m flying to Hai Province tonight. Can you ask Dad to pick us up at the airport?” Lu Benwei interrupted Jiang Xiuqin’s deadly question.
“So, what if you’re back? You want us to pick you up? Dream on!” Jiang Xiuqin snorted coldly.
“Mom, I’m not alone.” Lu Benwei smiled bitterly in his heart. “There’s still Chu Yan.”
“Little Yan is coming too?” Jiang Xiuqin immediately changed her tone and smiled.
“When is the flight? When will you arrive in Hai Province? How many days will you stay at home?”
Lu Benwei’s face was full of black lines. He even doubted if he was her real son.
“We’ll be arriving at Hai Province in the afternoon.”
“That’s good.” Jiang Xiuqin heaved a sigh of relief. action
Suddenly, Lu Benwei said, “Mom, go to the department store in the afternoon to buy a small camp bed.”
“What do you want that thing for?”
“Sleeping on the sofa is depressing. You won’t let me sleep in Ziling’s room.”
“I’m not buying. If you don’t want to sleep on the sofa, sleep outside!”
Lu Benwei still wanted to open his mouth to say something, but he heard a beeping sound from the phone.
At this moment, Chu Yan giggled, and her eyes curved into crescents.
“What are you laughing at?” Lu Benwei curled her lips and gave a disillusion.
“It’s nothing. There are times when you can’t compare to our prodigy Lu.” Chu Yan stretched lazily, wantonly stretching her graceful curves.
Lu Benwei smacked his lips and did not say anything.
When the silver wings tore through the sky, on the other side of Rodu, at the center of the teleportation formation.
In a short moment, the center of the formation was completely sealed.
The experts of the Zhu, Qi, Yan, and Shangwen families descended upon Rodu. The four families joined forces to capture Lu Benwei. The leader was the head of the Qi family, Qi Wen.
“What? Lu Benwei just left?”
The large group of people had missed Lu Benwei. They had just received news of Lu Benwei being here in Rodu so they had not expected to miss him.
“Where did they go?”
“They took a plane to Hai Province. They should be heading back to Green Spirit City.”
“Back to Hai Province?” Qi Wen’s eyes narrowed into slits.
The geographical conditions of Hai Province were special. The sphere of influence of the eight great families could not reach there. It was somewhat beyond their reach.
