I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

Chapter 1868 - 1:

"Alright, it’s only been a few days since we last met, why are you starting to reminisce?" Zhang Menglong interrupted their chatter, "Don’t forget why we’re here today!"

"Oh, right, we’re here to seek justice!"

"Uh...to be fair, we originally came to avenge our brothers who were killed, but now it seems that problem no longer exists. Should we still collect the debt?"

"When you put it like that, it seems we suddenly lost the moral high ground, and it’s hard to convince ourselves too. Maybe we should just let it go? Anyway, no one on our side died, yet they lost tons of people."

"Are you stupid or something? I’ve never seen anyone self-pua like this. What’s your situation? None of them died, but some people’s nations were half-destroyed, and even clans were wiped out."

"The Clan Leader said his ability can only revive those at the Divine Cultivation Realm or higher. The souls of others can’t withstand the side effects of this power, so they can’t be brought back to life."

"What? Is there such a thing? Don’t hold me back, I’m going to tear down the Divine Profound Hall right now!"

"Damn it, they’re asking for death!"

...

"Take over the City Lord’s Mansion first, then control the entire Xuanyun City. I don’t have to teach you how to do it, right?" Zhang Menglong also grew tired of their chatter.

"Yes!"

With Zhang Menglong’s order, everyone immediately charged towards every corner of Xuanyun City, especially the outer sect disciples whose clans and nations had been slaughtered. Anger seemed to shoot from their eyes, wishing to tear the bones from these Divine Profound Hall people.

Except for the City Lord, there weren’t really any powerful individuals in Xuanyun City; the strongest was merely at the peak of Divine Cultivation, completely vulnerable before the Shamate Clan members.

Zhang Menglong’s orders were simple: those who surrendered, have their cultivation crippled but spared! Those who resisted, kill without mercy! As for the people from subsidiary nations unrelated to the Divine Profound Hall, they weren’t troubled.

In just an hour, all the Divine Profound Hall’s minions were thoroughly cleaned out of Xuanyun City.

"Report to the Clan Leader, we’ve killed a total of 11,738 and crippled a few tens of thousands, all from the Divine Profound Hall. We didn’t harm any irrelevant people!"

"Very good!" Zhang Menglong continued asking, "Did you find the City Lord?"

"Couldn’t find him," a Shamate Clan member said, "but we found a very peculiar structure in the backyard of the City Lord’s Mansion, a metal tower with its door tightly closed. We tried everything to open it but couldn’t, even attacks left no marks."

"He’s most likely inside," Zhang Menglong said. "He should be either breaking through or comprehending something, at a very critical moment, thus he cannot be disturbed by the outside world. Therefore, he’s using this to protect himself, take me to see it!"

"This way!"

...

Zhang Menglong and the others went through the luxurious City Lord’s Mansion and directly to the backyard. Sure enough, a black tower stood there, roughly 40 meters tall. It wasn’t particularly conspicuous in the entire mansion but looked like it could conceal someone inside.

Having searched the entire City Lord’s Mansion without finding anything suspicious, this place was naturally the most likely!

Zhang Menglong attempted to invade with aura, but this thing could actually block his observation, making it impossible to see what’s inside or even discern if anyone was in there.

"Interesting thing," Zhang Menglong muttered to himself, "Gou Dan!"

[Director! That Elder is inside, he seems to be breaking through, soon reaching the fifth-grade Dao Realm!]

Under Gou Dan’s detector, the Elder hiding in the black tower became exposed, proving Zhang Menglong right about his breakthrough inside!

"Should we search somewhere else?"

"Yeah, maybe there are more hidden spots!"

"No need," Zhang Menglong said, "that old fool isn’t elsewhere, just inside this tower!"

"Hahaha, no wonder the sect sent fifty Elders together to kill someone, indeed some skill!"

The Elder’s voice sounded once more, "No doubt, I am indeed in this tower!"

"Hmph! If this seat wasn’t at a crucial breakthrough moment, how could I let a junior like you act so brazenly here? Once I complete my breakthrough, I’ll scatter your ashes!"

"Oh my, you’re so powerful, I’m terrified!" Zhang Menglong loved verbal sparring, "You think you’re awesome, come out and kill me if you can! You can’t even move your butt, I can trash talk ten likes of you alone!"

"You...hmph!" Xuanyun City Lord was furious, but he couldn’t do anything; once he used his energy, he’d face backlash, even harming himself. Anyway, Zhang Menglong couldn’t come inside, he simply shielded his senses, knowing staying quiet at this point was most crucial.

"Not talking?" Zhang Menglong knew why the other party suddenly became silent; these others weren’t like him, their breakthroughs involved a long and dangerous process.

"He’s breaking through now, doesn’t that mean we’re free to do as we please?" Zhang Menglong’s expression turned mischievous.

"Hehehe, we love doing as we please!"

"Make way!" Zhang Menglong pushed through the crowd and approached the tower, slowly squatting down, pressing his fingertip against the tower.

"Wing Chun, one-inch punch!"

"Boom!"

The earth shook violently, covered with countless cracks, yet the surface of the tower showed no trace of damage.

"What a tough thing!" Zhang Menglong’s pupils contracted, though he seemed to have delivered a plain punch just now, it almost gathered all his physical strength, even an ordinary Dao Realm Martial Artist could be seriously injured by it!

"Hahaha, don’t waste your energy!"

Xuanyun City’s City Lord laughed from the tower, "This piece of treasure was found from the Ancient Cave Heaven, an ancient relic extremely difficult to damage even for Dao Realm Martial Artists. You, a mere first-grade Divine Cultivation Martial Artist, dream of breaking it?"

"So powerful? No wonder I couldn’t open it with full force just now."

"Damn it, turtle shell?"

"Shameless!"

The Shamate Clan youths cursed one by one but were helpless. Everyone tried but couldn’t do anything.

...

"Once I break through, it’ll be the day of your demise!"

A barrier suddenly enveloped the entire Xuanyun City.

"What’s this?"

"Once this formation is activated, outsiders can’t get in, insiders can’t leave. Only I can open it, just stay here obediently and wait for me to complete my advancement. Once I wipe you out, I might have a chance to advance from Elder to Vice Hall Master!"

"Oh?" Zhang Menglong looked quite shocked, "It’s the first time I’ve seen anyone giving themselves an excuse for a last stand!"
