Endless Ascension

Chapter 51:, Brothers

Qinghe City was in chaos.

All the families were involved. The central square turned into ruins, and the surrounding houses and buildings were in a mess, with countless deaths and injuries.

There had never been such a large-scale battle in the history of Qinghe City, and all the families suffered greatly.

The Zhao family, relying on three experts of the Refining Gang Realm, didn't gain any advantage. Many of their disciples died, and although the casualties of the disciples of the other three families were slightly better, several elders died, greatly weakening their strength.

Ultimately, they had no choice but to declare a truce.

The happiest person in this family battle was Tu. Standing on the city gate tower, drinking wine and watching the fight, he felt extremely good in his heart. He greatly appreciated Qin Ze and finally did a big thing for him. The many Protection Spirit Pills he gave last time finally paid off.

Seeing the battle end, he immediately sent someone to report.

He believed that it wouldn't be long before the power of Qinghe City would fall into his hands. At that time, all the Zhao family, Zhang family, and the so-called four major families would have to obey him.

Thinking of the good days to come, Tu excitedly laughed.

Furong Restaurant.

"Meng Lei, this is the Dragon-Tiger Pill. You can take it when you break through to the Dynamic Realm. Remember, don't take it before reaching the Dynamic Realm. It's not good for your body."

There were only Qin Ze and Meng Lei left in the room.

Looking at Meng Lei, Qin Ze was a little worried. But there was no way. He was about to enter the Kunlun Mountains soon. Meng Lei's cultivation couldn't survive in the Kunlun Mountains. Even if he and Hei Yan were by his side, they couldn't guarantee his safety.

The Kunlun Mountains were extremely dangerous. Not to mention Meng Lei, even Qin Ze wasn't sure he could come out alive. But only the monsters in the Kunlun Mountains could meet his experience needs. Only there could he hunt high-level monsters to obtain enough experience, internal energy, and survival value.

Meng Lei gave a silly smile and scratched his head, not taking the Dragon-Tiger Pill from Qin Ze's hand. Although he didn't know that the Dragon-Tiger Pill was a seventh-grade advanced pill, he knew that Qin Ze needed this pill more than him. The Kunlun Mountains were one of the top ten dangerous places in the Tianyuan Continent, and the danger was imaginable.

Having one more pill with him might give one more chance to save his life.

Moreover, when Qin Ze took out the pill, the entire room was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance. Meng Lei just inhaled a few breaths and felt extremely energetic. One could imagine the function and grade of this pill.

Everything Meng Lei did was for Qin Ze. Even when starving to death, if there was a bite to eat, he would give it to Qin Ze first because he was the young master and the only son of his savior.

The reason was that simple.

"Young Master, keep it for yourself. I have mediocre talent. Taking the pill would be a waste. You keep it. Maybe you'll need it one day."

Meng Lei still looked simple and foolish, but was actually wise beyond his appearance.

Qin Ze was moved and forcibly stuffed the Dragon-Tiger Pill into Meng Lei's hand, saying in a commanding tone, "You're not listening to me?"

"Also, I want you to protect someone."

Meng Lei struggled for a while and finally had to accept the pill. But in his heart, he never thought of taking it. He thought, "Since the young master doesn't need it now, then keep it here and give it to him when he needs it."

Hearing that Qin Ze wanted him to protect someone, Meng Lei immediately said, "Young Master, give your order. I will definitely protect him with all my strength."

"Yun Man."

Besides Meng Lei, Qin Ze was also worried about Yun Man. This girl was too kind. Although her strength was good, her fatal weakness was that she didn't dare to fight with others. During his absence, she might encounter trouble. Now the only one he could rely on was Meng Lei.

Meng Lei immediately agreed.

Qin Ze's words were orders. No matter what, even if it cost his life, he would complete it.

"Tomorrow you move back to the Qin family. Staying at Furong Restaurant is not safe anymore. I will discuss it with the Clan Head."

After explaining, Qin Ze was going to ask Qin Zhantian for the artifact. Although he vaguely guessed that Qin Zhantian wouldn't give him the top-quality artifact, but as a condition, it should be fine to let Meng Lei return to the Qin family.

Although Meng Lei didn't want to go back to the Qin family alone, he dared not disobey Qin Ze's words, so he nodded numbly.

"I'll be back in three years. After finishing what needs to be done, I'll take you traveling around."

Qin Ze heavily patted Meng Lei's shoulder, feeling a bit reluctant. It was always hard to let go before parting. But Qin Ze had to grow up and break through as soon as possible. Many things were still not resolved.

The two BOSSes hadn't been killed yet, which made him very unhappy.

Tears sparkled in Meng Lei's eyes. He tried hard to hold them back.

In the evening, at the Qin family, Qin Zhantian's residence.

"Ha ha, Qin Ze, you exceeded my expectations. Good, good. The future of the Qin family depends on you."

After saying that, Qin Zhantian put one hand on Qin Ze's shoulder and showed a fox-like smile.

A strange internal energy seeped into Qin Ze's shoulder. Qin Ze pretended not to know and respectfully smiled, saying, "The Clan Head overpraises."

The internal energy continuously explored in Qin Ze's dantian, not missing any corner. But in the end, it found nothing, not even a trace of internal energy in Qin Ze's body. This puzzled him greatly.

The sound of the dragon's roar, the trampling of the giant elephant, the milky white halo, and the internal energy increasing several times in an instant. All these constantly troubled him. He wished he could dissect Qin Ze to see what else was hidden in his body.

"Clan Head, about the top-quality artifact you mentioned last time..." Qin Ze bowed and gently moved a step, thinking coldly in his heart, "I knew you wouldn't let go of any opportunity. You are the real old fox. But, I won't give you any chance. Just wait."

"Ha ha..." Qin Zhantian laughed loudly, withdrew his internal energy, sat back on his seat, showing a troubled expression. After thinking for a moment, he said, "This family battle greatly weakened the Qin family. It's time for rejuvenation. With your current strength, you can't exert the power of the top-quality artifact. How about giving it to you when you break through to the Gathering Spirit Realm?"

"I knew it would be like this." Qin Ze coldly snorted in his heart and pretended to be a little unhappy. Qin Zhantian immediately said, "How about rewarding you with something else? Just tell me what you like."

"Well, since that's the case, I'll consider it as supporting the family's reconstruction work. But I hope the Clan Head can let Meng Lei return to the Qin family. From now on, let him receive my stipend. I don't know, Clan Head..."

"No problem. Of course, I'm looking forward to your return." Qin Zhantian readily agreed. Compared to the top-quality artifact, letting Meng Lei return to the Qin family was negligible.

As for the stipend, it was even less of a problem.

However, Qin Zhantian suddenly froze, looked at Qin Ze, and said, "Let him receive your stipend. What about you?"

"Hehe, I'm planning to enter the Kunlun Mountains for training for a few years." Qin Ze directly told Qin Zhantian without hiding.

"Enter the Kunlun Mountains for training?"

Qin Zhantian was startled in his heart, a glint flashed in his eyes, and then immediately smiled, "Good, good, good. If there were more disciples in the Qin family who trained as hard as you, we would have been the number one family in Qinghe City long ago."

Qin Ze sneered in his heart, "You hope I die in there, right?"

The two exchanged a few polite words, and Qin Ze left with a respectful farewell.

After leaving, Qin Ze's expression changed, looking at the night, his eyes narrowed like a cunning fox...
