775 Finale (Part 1)
“Annoying fellow!”

Chu Yan reacted immediately. She walked past everyone and wrapped her arms around Lu Benwei’s neck.

Lu Benwei let out a long sigh, his fingers gently stroking Chu Yan’s black and smooth hair.

“I’m back,” he said softly.

One sentence was enough to describe the joy of reunion.

After not seeing her for a year, Chu Yan became even more beautiful and moving. Just by standing there, she would unconsciously become the focus of the crowd.

Li Tiancheng stepped forward and punched Lu Benwei’s chest. “You brat, when did you come back?”

“Just now,” Lu Benwei replied.

“I heard that the Dragon Kingdom was under attack. After rescuing Hai Province, I came back immediately.”

“Rescue Hai Province?” Li Tiancheng suspected that he had heard wrongly and gulped.

Lu Benwei nodded. “The leader of the royal clan has been eliminated.”

“What?”

Li Tiancheng opened his mouth in disbelief.

Chu Yan and Wang Yiruo’s eyes also flashed with disbelief.

Only Chu Bowen, the principal of Yanjing Hunter University, seemed to have known about this long ago.

At this moment, the Six-tailed Crocodile walked out of the sunroom with a smug smile on his face. “My big brother is now invincible. It’s not difficult to defeat a few small royal leaders.”

Chu Yan and Li Tiancheng noticed the crocodile and were even more incredulous.

“Crocodile, you’re level 90?” Li Tiancheng asked.

He had already met the crocodile when he headed to the Devil’s Den. At that time, the crocodile’s body seemed to be made of gold, and its complete form was like a mountain.

Now, the crocodile had changed greatly. Its body was more dazzling than diamonds, blinding everyone’s eyes.

Li Tiancheng speculated that the crocodile might have already broken through to level 90!

The Six-tailed Crocodile raised his eyebrows proudly.

“If I follow Big Brother, it would be difficult for me not to break through to the Monster King realm!”

“Lu Benwei, what about you?” Li Tiancheng turned around and asked.

Lu Benwei grinned.

“Right, let’s talk about the peace negotiations first!”

Li Tiancheng did not say anything else. He could only sigh in his heart that the gap between him and Lu Benwei might not be erased in this lifetime.

Then, Wang Yiruo explained the origin of the matter. The eight great families discussed with the previous heads of state of the Dragon Kingdom, hoping to negotiate peace with the monsters to preserve their status. Even if they had to pay a certain price, it was still acceptable.

“Humph!”

“The frontline is fighting a bloody battle, but they are doing such an outrageous thing at the rear!”

Li Tiancheng was furious, and his eyes were red.

The crocodile patted his belly. “I’m simple-minded, but I can still see that if we really want to negotiate peace, the people of the Dragon Kingdom will only be hurt!”

Lu Benwei rubbed his chin and nodded. “You’re right. We can’t let them negotiate for peace.”

After a pause, Lu Benwei asked Wang Yiruo, “Aunt Wang, can you let us enter the horse farm to meet the previous heads of state and the eight great families?”

Wang Yiruo pondered for a moment. “The horse farm is now sealed, but I’ll try my best to let you in.”

“Good!”
…

It was noon, but dark clouds rolled down and covered the sun. A stifling atmosphere pervaded the central hall.

Wang Yuanliang was alone, dealing with the eight great families and even his own people.

In the past, he had stood with the leaders of the past generations to protect the interests of the Dragon Kingdom. Now, he was betting on the future with the people of the Dragon Kingdom.

Wang Yuanliang looked down at his phone and said, “It’s not impossible to negotiate peace. But I have to give an explanation to the soldiers who have bled and sacrificed their lives outside.”

“What explanation?” the former head of state narrowed his eyes and asked coldly.

“If they want to negotiate, I can go and do it,” Wang Yuanliang said.

“Alright, as you wish!” the former head of state said coldly.

“Let the five national pillars do it.”

The eight great families all gloated. Other than the Furious Dragon Army, which pillar had not received their support in secret? Obeying their orders was a fact that was set in stone.

However, he still had to save face. Otherwise, he would not be able to explain it to the Dragon Kingdom.

About half a day later, the five national pillars sent their representatives over. These representatives had brought the will of the five national pillars with them, and they were all seated in the main hall.

They were the Furious Dragon Legion’s Li Tiancheng, Chu Yan, Lu Benwei, and the Six-tailed Crocodile, who were disguised as accompanying soldiers.

Gao Shengtang, one of the five pillars of the country, sent Gao Dalong, the deputy chief of staff of the Violent Bear Legion.

The legions under the other five pillars also sent their trusted aides to participate in the voting.

“I don’t think I need to be long-winded about the reason why I’ve gathered you here. Let’s start voting now,” the former head of state said calmly.

“Wait, I have a question!”

Li Tiancheng suddenly stood up and pointed at the family heads of the eight great families.

“Are they going to vote too?”

After saying that, the smiles on the faces of the family heads of the eight great families instantly froze.

“Li Tiancheng, what do you mean by this?”

“We’re here, so of course we have to vote!” the family head of the Shangwen Family, one of the eight great families, shouted coldly.

The corners of Li Tiancheng’s lips curled upward as he sneered. “Since the result has already been decided, why did you gather us? Why are you pretending to be a good person? The eight great families have been shouting the slogan of peace talks the loudest!”

“You!”

The family head of the Shangwen Family had a bad temper. The veins on his forehead bulged, and he stood up with a whoosh.

“Enough!”

The former head of state called out to them, and the muscles at the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

At this moment, Lu Benwei was observing his surroundings. This was an antique house. The vases that were placed randomly were all treasures that had been passed down from ancient times.

Lu Benwei carefully recalled the bits and pieces he found in the river of time. The mansion that forbade Lu Benwei from investigating seemed to be here. No matter which time it was, this mansion released a strong fluctuation, rejecting Lu Benwei’s will.

“Buzz!”

At this moment, the Death Stigma in Lu Benwei’s spiritual domain buzzed, and the fluctuations that erupted caused his sea of consciousness to churn violently.

Lu Benwei’s eyes widened, and he wanted to spit out a mouthful of blood. However, he suppressed it fiercely.

Chu Yan noticed the strangeness of Lu Benwei. “What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”

Shaking his head and chuckling, Lu Benwei closed his eyes tightly. He wanted to enter his sea of consciousness to check.

After a while.

Lu Benwei’s eyes slowly opened, and a world of birds and flowers appeared in front of him.
