Hidden Mysteries

Now, the Zhu family’s ancestor told him that there was an existence that could rival a King of Limits in the distant ancient Dragon Country.

All of this was too unbelievable. Lu Benwei unconsciously opened his mouth.

“When I killed that ancient corpse, I used the power of the soul origin, causing a wisp of the soul to leak out,” the Zhu family’s ancestor said, “At that time, my body had already shown an ominous feeling, and I was almost crazy. As time passed, this wisp of the soul also turned into a wisp of evil spirit.”

Lu Benwei swallowed his saliva and said, “Senior, that corpse…”

“Don’t worry, I’ve already killed him. There’s no chance of him recovering,” the Zhu family’s ancestor said.

Lu Benwei thought to himself that if he could fight against the resurrection of a king, then it would be even more troublesome. The Zhu family’s ancestor had already killed him, so Lu Benwei let out a long sigh of relief.

“Senior, when you were young, you fought bravely against the enemy and were full of righteousness. How could you be unlucky in your later years?” Lu Benwei asked.

The Zhu family’s ancestor did not answer. He stared at Lu Benwei with a hint of helplessness.

Lu Benwei understood that it was still the heavenly punishment mentioned by the Zhu family’s ancestor, so he did not continue to ask.

“This secret realm is best known to few people. That Black Gold Crescent Blade is a peerless treasure blade, but unfortunately, it has to be used to suppress me.” The Zhu family’s ancestor’s tone was filled with helplessness.

“Little friend, send me on my last journey.”

“Then I’ll have to offend you.”

The Zhu family’s ancestor’s spirit was extremely fragile and would be destroyed by itself soon.

However, this secret realm was strange, and he and Lu Benwei were afraid of accidents.

Then, Lu Benwei waved his hands and activated his spiritual stigma to hover above his head.

“Buzz!”

The spiritual stigma vibrated and created ripples in the space, spreading rapidly!

The remnant soul of the Zhu family’s ancestor grunted. Then, it began dissipating in the air like ashes.

“Senior, goodbye!”

“I, Lu Benwei, will not fail my mission and chase away the monsters!”

Lu Benwei cupped his fists and bowed, bidding farewell to the Zhu family’s ancestor.

The remnant of the Zhu family’s ancestor’s soul was gradually dissipating. When he heard Lu Benwei’s words, he was suddenly stunned. Then, a bright light flashed between his eyebrows.

“Little Friend Lu, thank you for helping out today. Otherwise, I’m afraid that my reputation as a hero will be destroyed in my own hands. Please accept this small gift.” “Humph…”

Lu Benwei grunted and felt a splitting headache as if it was going to explode.

“This is?”

Tiny snake scales grew out of his forehead and temples, and his black round pupils constricted into a bundle.

“Buzz!”

A golden light beam shot out from the snake’s eyes, causing ripples in the space.

“Flying Snake’s Divine Might! Mental attack!”

Lu Benwei exclaimed about the gift from the Zhu family’s ancestor.

Then, he bowed three more times toward the void.

“Ancient Dragon Kingdom’s king’s corpse… Heaven’s punishment, and the unknown fate of the eight ultimate kings in their later years. What is the reason for this?”

Lu Benwei said and exhaled, “There’s still a long way to go before I become a hunter.”

He pulled his thoughts back to reality.

The atmosphere in the hall became a little more normal.

The originally green candle flame had turned fiery red. At this moment, it was like a flame spirit jumping on the candlestick.

Then, Lu Benwei heard a commotion coming from the corridor outside the door, and his expression changed slightly.

“Second Brother Zhang, no matter what, this woman and the supporter you invited have to give us an explanation!”

This was the voice of the Ma family head, filled with an overbearing tone.

“Brother Ma, Little Friend Lu is an honored guest of our Zhang family. How can we let him be humiliated?”

The second head of the Zhang family unexpectedly became a little more unyielding and sided with Lu Benwei and Chu Yan.

“If you want everyone, I can accompany you!”

Chu Yan’s voice was cold, and she did not put the Ma family in her eyes at all.

The Ma family head was furious, and the veins on his body bulged. “Hmph, if you have the guts, wait for my son to come back. I’ll teach you a lesson!”

“If you’re not convinced, why don’t you calculate it now?” Lu Benwei came to the corridor and said coldly.

“Annoying fellow!” Chu Yan was delighted, her clear eyes shining brightly.

An expert of the Ma family was not convinced and stepped forward. “Let me fight you, little brat.”

After saying that, he stretched out his hand, and a huge shadow enveloped Lu Benwei and Chu Yan, projecting them into reality. Its might was terrifying as if the sky had collapsed, wanting to kill them.

“Killing intent?”

Everyone from the Zhang family was shocked. “Little Friend Lu, be careful. This is a powerful assassin from the Ma family. He can use the power of the shadow. He’s at level 73!”

Lu Benwei’s eyes turned cold, and fine snake scales grew on his forehead and temples, emitting a cold aura.

“Flying Snake’s Divine Might!”

A golden gaze shot out, directly targeting the Ma family’s assassin.

“Puff!”

The Ma family’s assassin’s head exploded on the spot, and the mixture of brain matter and blood splashed everywhere.

Shocking!

Terrifying!

Horror!

A level-73 expert could not even withstand a single move from Lu Benwei and died tragically before his eyes.

“Staring, staring to death?”

The Ma family’s people were flabbergasted and terrified.

Lu Benwei coldly swept his gaze over them, scaring the Ma family members into a panic. They did not even have the courage to look at each other.

“Do you still want to go forward and die?” Lu Benwei said coldly.

The Ma family members were all silent, afraid of being “glared” to death by Lu Benwei.

The Zhang family members all looked at Lu Benwei with strange expressions as if they were looking at a god.

“Ghostly, you killed a seventieth-leveled expert of the Ma family with a single sentence?” Zhang Kangle and Zhang Kangya’s mouths were wide open, and they were secretly glad that Lu Benwei did not argue with them.

The Wu brothers looked at each other in realization. Then, they knelt on the ground with a thud.

“Brother Lu, please take us to save our brother! We have offended you before. Please be magnanimous and forgive us!”

The two of them spoke at the same time, and their attitudes were quite sincere.

Lu Benwei glanced at them. “I’m only here to protect the Zhu family and snatch their opportunities. You’re not from the Zhang family, so I have no obligation to help you. Also, I warned you not to act rashly. Your little brother got lost in this palace and asked for it.”

Lu Benwei was not a saint and had no obligation to save Wu Lu.

“If you want to save him, you can do it yourself.”

The Wu brothers’ expressions froze. Then, the eldest of the Wu brothers said, “Brother Lu, it was our fault earlier. This palace is strange and full of danger. We brothers are useless. I hope Brother Lu can help us.”
