Chapter 51

Qinghe City was in a complete mess. All the big families were involved. The central square had been turned into ruins, and the surrounding houses and buildings were in a state of chaos, with countless casualties. There had been no large - scale battles in the history of Qinghe City, and all the big families had been greatly weakened. Although the Zhao family relied on three experts at the Tempered Gang Realm, they didn't get any benefits. Many of their family disciples died. Although the casualties of the other three big families were a little better, several elders died, and they were greatly weakened. Finally, they had no choice but to announce a truce. The one who was happiest about this family war was Tu. Standing on the city gate tower, drinking a little wine and watching the fight, he felt extremely happy in his heart. He greatly appreciated Zhou Peng and finally felt that Zhou Peng had done a big thing for him. The last time he had paid a lot of Guardian Spirit Pills, and now he finally got the return. Seeing that the war was over, he immediately sent someone to report it. He believed that it wouldn't be long before the power of Qinghe City would fall into his hands. At that time, the so - called four big families such as the Zhao family and the Zhang family would all have to obey his orders. Thinking about the good days in the future, Tu laughed excitedly. --- Lotus Restaurant. "Meng Lei, this is the Dragon - Tiger Pill. You can take it when you break through to the Agile Realm. Remember, don't take it before you reach the Agile Realm, it's not good for your body." There were only Zhou Peng and Meng Lei left in the room. Looking at Meng Lei, Zhou Peng was a little worried, but there was no way. He was about to enter the Kunlun Mountains. Meng Lei's cultivation level couldn't survive in the Kunlun Mountains. Even if he and Black Rock were by his side, they couldn't guarantee his safety. The Kunlun Mountains were extremely dangerous. Not to mention Meng Lei, even Zhou Peng wasn't sure that he could come out alive. But only the monsters in the Kunlun Mountains could meet his experience requirements. Only by hunting high - level monsters inside could he obtain enough experience, (qigong), and survival points. Meng Lei gave a silly smile and scratched his head without taking the Dragon - Tiger Pill from Zhou Peng's hand. Although he didn't know that the Dragon - Tiger Pill was a seventh - grade high - level pill, he knew that Zhou Peng needed this pill more than him. The Kunlun Mountains were one of the ten most dangerous places on the Tianyuan Continent, and the danger could be imagined. Having one more pill by his side might mean one more chance to save his life. Moreover, when Zhou Peng took out the pill, the whole room was filled with a faint fragrance of medicine. Meng Lei felt extremely energetic after inhaling a few mouthfuls. One could imagine the function and grade of this pill. Meng Lei always put Zhou Peng first in everything. When he was half - starved, if there was a bite of food, he would give it to Zhou Peng first because he was the young master and the only son of his savior. The reason was as simple as that. "Young master, you keep it for yourself. I'm of mediocre talent. Taking the pill is a waste. You keep it by your side. Maybe you will need it one day." Meng Lei still looked silly, but there was a wisdom in his foolishness. Zhou Peng was moved in his heart. He forced the Dragon - Tiger Pill into Meng Lei's hand and said in a commanding tone, "Don't you listen to what I say?" "Also, I want you to help protect someone." Meng Lei struggled for a while. Finally, he had no choice but to take the pill, but he never thought of taking it. He thought in his heart, "Since the young master doesn't need it now, let's keep it here first and give it to him when he needs it." Hearing that Zhou Peng asked him to protect someone, Meng Lei immediately said, "Young master, just give your order. I will definitely protect him with all my strength." "Yun Man." Besides Meng Lei, Zhou Peng 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 the time when he was away, she would inevitably encounter trouble. Now the only one he could rely on was Meng Lei. Meng Lei immediately agreed. Zhou Peng's words were orders. No matter what, even if he had to sacrifice his life, he would complete it. "Tomorrow you move back to the Zhou family. It's not safe to stay in the Lotus Restaurant anymore. I will discuss it with the clan leader." After giving the instructions, Zhou Peng was going to ask Zhou Zhantian for a spiritual weapon. Although he vaguely guessed that Zhou Zhantian couldn't give him a high - grade spiritual weapon, as a condition, it should be no problem to let Meng Lei return to the Zhou family. Although Meng Lei didn't want to go back to the Zhou family alone, he didn't dare to disobey what Zhou Peng said, so he nodded dumbly. "I will come back in three years. After finishing what I should do, I will take you around for a visit." Zhou Peng patted Meng Lei's shoulder hard. There was a trace of reluctance in his heart. It was always hard to let go before parting, but Zhou Peng had to grow up and break through as soon as possible. There were still many things that had not been resolved. He was very unhappy that he hadn't killed the two big bosses yet. There were some tears in Meng Lei's eyes. He tried hard to restrain himself so that the tears didn't flow down. At night, at Zhou Zhantian's residence in the Zhou family. "Ha ha, Zhou Peng, you really exceeded my expectations. Good, good. The future of the Zhou family depends on you." After speaking, Zhou Zhantian put his hand on Zhou Peng's shoulder and showed a fox - like smile. A strange (qigong) penetrated into Zhou Peng's shoulder. Zhou Peng pretended not to know and smiled respectfully and said, "Clan leader, you flatter me." The (qigong) kept exploring in Zhou Peng's Dantian, not missing any corner, but finally found nothing. It didn't even detect a trace of (qigong) in Zhou Peng's body, which made him puzzled. The sound of the dragon's roar, the trampling of the giant elephant, the milky white halo, and the instantaneous increase of (qigong) several times, all these things were constantly bothering him. He wished he could dissect Zhou Peng to see what else was hidden in his body. "Clan leader, about the high - grade spiritual weapon you mentioned last time..." Zhou Peng moved his body gently and took a step aside. He thought 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..." Zhou Zhantian laughed loudly, withdrew his (qigong), sat back on his seat, showed a difficult expression, thought for a while, and said, "During this family war, the Zhou family has been greatly weakened and is in the process of recovery. With your current strength, you can't exert the power of a high - grade spiritual weapon. It's better to give it to you when you break through to the Gathering Spirit Realm." "I knew it would be like this." Zhou Peng shouted coldly in his heart and pretended to be a little unhappy. Zhou Zhantian immediately said, "Why don't we reward you with something else? Tell me what you like." "Since it's like this, I'll support the family reconstruction work. But I hope the clan leader can let Meng Lei return to the Zhou family. Let him receive my salary in the future. What do you think, clan leader..." "No problem, of course. I'm still looking forward to your return." Zhou Zhantian readily agreed. Compared with a high - grade spiritual weapon, letting Meng Lei return to the Zhou family was negligible. As for the salary, it was not a problem at all. However, Zhou Zhantian suddenly froze and looked at Zhou Peng and said, "Let him receive your salary, what about you?" "Hehe, I'm going to enter the Kunlun Mountains for a few years of training." Zhou Peng said directly without hiding it from Zhou Zhantian. "Enter the Kunlun Mountains for training?" Zhou Zhantian was shocked in his heart. A bright light flashed in his eyes. Then he immediately smiled and said, "Good, good, good. If there were a few more disciples like you who practiced hard in the Zhou family, it would have been the first family in Qinghe City long ago." Zhou Peng sneered in his heart, "You hope I die in there, don't you?" After a few polite words, Zhou Peng left together. After leaving, Zhou Peng's face changed. Looking at the dark night, his eyes narrowed like a sly fox...
