313 The Meeting

After-effects?! Lu Benwei was stunned when he heard this.

“What side effects can there be from activating the bronze temple?”

Chu Yan rolled her eyes. “That’s a divine weapon. It can make you, a level-45 magician, qualified to fight a high-level Monster King. Do you think it’s like magic, where you can just chant a spell?”

Hearing this, Lu Benwei’s mouth twitched, and he smiled bitterly. “I thought so.”

!!

Chu Yan immediately jumped down from Lu Benwei’s bed.

“I’m not joking with you! Activating the bronze temple will cause a large backlash to your soul and corrode your muscles!”

Chu Yan’s hands were on her hips and her face was red with anger.

“When that happens, you’ll become a fool who only knows how to lie on the bed and call out nonsense.”

Lu Benwei shrugged his sore shoulders to show that he did not care.

Chu Yan seemed to be a little angry. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and kept tapping the ground with her right foot.

After a long while, she sighed helplessly. “I’ve never seen anyone like you.”

“Who am I?”

“A person who doesn’t value his life!”

Chu Yan began to talk non-stop.

“To save the people of Li City, you didn’t hesitate to use the power of your bloodline. If the doctor hadn’t said that your recovery speed was amazing, you’d have been waiting for milk when you woke up again!”

“Okay.” Lu Benwei was convinced by Chu Yan. “I’ll be more careful next time.”

“There’s still a next time!” Chu Yan said fiercely, “Then next time, I think I won’t bring a fruit basket. I’ll bring chrysanthemums instead. By the way, tell me what other flowers do you like? I’ll buy them and put them on your tombstone.”

Lu Benwei laughed dryly and looked at Chu Yan silently. “Alright, I won’t make you guys worry next time. By the way, where are my parents?”

Chu Yan snorted and then let out a sigh of relief. “You’re currently at the hospital in Jiujiang City. Before I came, I already told Uncle and Auntie that the school is urgently calling back all the students. Uncle and Aunty believed me.”

After a pause, Chu Yan said nervously, “I asked the principal of Yanjing Hunter University for help. I used a similar reason.”

Then, Chu Yan carefully glanced at Lu Benwei. At that moment, the intensive care unit was very quiet, and only the beeping of the medical equipment could be heard.

“Beep, beep, beep..”

Lu Benwei’s heart beat faster and faster, and the buzzing sound became louder and faster. However, at this moment, he was very quiet, like a pool of dead water.

A deep sense of powerlessness rose in his heart. Lu Benwei felt his eyelids become heavy and fatigue washed over him like a tide.

“It’s alright. My father said that he’d seize the time to find out the whereabouts of the Blood Monster Clan and then set off for the expedition,” Chu Yan said softly, afraid that Lu Benwei would get emotional.

Lu Benwei nodded and smiled at Chu Yan.

“I’ve already thought it through,” Lu Benwei said.

“What?”

“The reason why Ziling was captured was because I wasn’t strong enough. Before I find Ziling, I must improve my strength and do everything I can to fight the Blood Monster Emperor without being at a disadvantage.”

“That’s more like it!”

Chu Yan smiled very happily. The Lu Benwei she knew was back.

“Come, call me big sister. Big sister will go with you and help you block all attacks!”

Lu Benwei thought about it. The Blood Monster Clan’s territory was too dangerous, and he could not let Chu Yan take the risk. He turned his head and was ready to thank Chu Yan for her good intentions.

However, the next second, he was stunned. Chu Yan hugged her knees and curled up on the chair like a kitten, sleeping.

“How long have you not slept?” Lu Benwei said in a low voice. Then, he found his coat and put it on Chu Yan.

..

The capital of the Dragon Kingdom, Yan Jing.

It was an extremely confidential meeting room. The walls, floor, and ceiling were all equipped with the best sound-absorbing cotton, which physically isolated all the sounds coming from inside.

Sophisticated equipment was already in operation, constantly monitoring for any suspicious electrical signals within a hundred miles. The most powerful people in the Dragon Kingdom were all here, waiting for one person.

“I’m sorry to have kept you all waiting,” Chu Tianxiong said as he pushed the door open.

Everyone stood up. Even the most powerful people in the Dragon Kingdom had to show respect to the national pillar of the Dragon Kingdom, even if they were just pretending.

“Commander Chu, please sit!”

The old man sitting at the head of the long table had a deep and powerful voice, and he was in high spirits. Ji Hong, the most powerful person in the Dragon Kingdom!

“Thank you,” he said. Chu Tianxiong did not stand on ceremony. This was a matter of great importance, so he did not beat around the bush.

“Everyone, I’ll cut to the chase. I’ve already investigated why the Blood Monster Emperor wanted to kidnap Lu Ziling.”

“Why?” Everyone craned their necks.

“Undying inborn formation!”

Everyone was shocked.

“The undying inborn formation?!”

“This formation can make people immortal?”

Everyone’s eyes lit up. It had to be said that the fact of immortality was too tempting. Even they felt greedy for it.

“Everyone, pay attention to the matter we’re here to discuss.” Ji Hong’s deep voice woke everyone up.

Only then did everyone know that they had made a fool of themselves.

“Commander Chu, what are the specific functions of the undying inborn formation? If it really works, what will happen to the Blood Monster Clan?” Ji Hong continued.

...

historical

“I don’t know,” Chu Tianxiong shook his head.

“I can only guess from the literal meaning, immortal.. The core of the undying inborn formation is the godly fire.”

“Alright.” A hint of disappointment flashed in Ji Hong’s eyes.

“Here’s the problem. If the undying inborn great formation really can make the Blood Monster Emperor immortal, then it doesn’t seem like it can harm us for a while,” someone said.

“In this case, does it mean that we can put aside the matter of conquering the Blood Monster Clan?”

Chu Tianxiong was immediately stunned.

“How can we let it go? The Blood Monster Clan almost massacred the entire Li City! The divine fire is in their hands as well. If we don’t attack decisively, the Blood Monster Emperor will be able to master the undying inborn formation. What should we do then?”

The man shrugged his shoulders and did not seem to care. “I’ll train it. It’s not like there’s a huge increase in strength. If I really reach level 100, who knows when I’ll be able to?”

“Commander Sun, how can you say that?!” Chu Tianxiong seemed to be enraged, grinding his teeth. “It’s our responsibility to drive away the ferocious monsters and protect the people of the world!”

His name was Sun Yuanliang, and he was the commander of a war zone.

“I know, but do you know where the Blood Monster Clan’s territory is?” Sun Yuanliang suddenly shouted.

...

“Even if you know where the Blood Monster Clan’s territory is, do you know how to get in? Do you know the layout inside?”

“You’re willing to let your soldiers die with you, but I’m not!”
