Merging with Demon Spirits

Chapter 721: Chapter 537: Astonishing Resources

When Zhan Tianyu pulled the suitcase and walked out of the manor gate with his parents.

At the gate, his grandfather had already been waiting there in advance.

At this moment, his father looked somewhat dejected, giving off a sense of decay.

His mother’s eyes were red. The moment she stepped out of the gate, she couldn’t help but cry aloud.

”Pack some things, you’ve been dawdling for half the day, everyone else has left, and it’s just you now. What is all this crying for? One would think I’ve passed away.”

Zhan Tian’en said with some displeasure, sounding irritated by the crying.

”Grandfather.”

Watching his grandfather lock the gate, Zhan Tianyu’s eyes held a touch of sadness.

Other relatives and family members had already left the manor over the past few days.

Some had even left Shangjing early.

Before leaving, they didn’t even inform Zhan Tian’en.

In the eyes of some family members, even if Hong Tao seized their wealth, as long as they obeyed, they might preserve one-tenth or one-twentieth of it.

With the financial resources of the Zhan Family, even one-tenth or one-twentieth would allow for a good life.

It was Zhan Tian’en’s insistence that emptied the family’s century-old collection, sold off most of the family, and invested it all in the Avengers Alliance without leaving any room, which angered Hong Tao and led them to this predicament.

With Hong Tao around, their development would certainly be restricted and suppressed.

It would be better to start fresh elsewhere.

”Mom, don’t cry, it’s not a big deal.”

Zhan Tianyu gently comforted his mother.

After comforting her for a while and when she slowly stopped crying, he couldn’t help but turn around for one last look at the place he had lived in for 23 years.

From today onwards, this place no longer belongs to the Zhan Family.

Nor is it his home anymore.

”Let’s go.”

Zhan Tian’en locked the gate and began to step forward, his expression not showing much sadness.

The Zhan Family had fallen, its members scattered, so there was no need to live here.

As the chaotic times are about to arrive, such a luxurious manor may become just ruins in the future. It’s better to sell it then.

Although the price was pathetically low.

The manor, which was worth at least 15 billion, sold for only 1.3 billion, and that was after pulling many strings to find a buyer.

With war looming, social order in turmoil, and people in panic, few would want to buy a house.

Having someone take it over is already a blessing in disguise.

The Zhan Race has fallen, but they are not lacking in money and can still live in wealth and prosperity, with their quality of life actually not changing much.

”Grandfather, I will buy this place back someday.”

Zhan Tianyu stated seriously.

”Good, I believe in you.”

Zhan Tian’en patted Zhan Tianyu’s shoulder, smiling as he spoke.

”I believe in your talent and strength, and also in the future of the Avengers Alliance, yet it’s unnecessary. This manor is too big; we are not a great clan with a numerous family, better to buy a bigger villa and keep it lively.”

Zhan Tianyu did not argue, nor did he change his mind.

What is lost now, he will take back one by one in the future.

...

Looking at the array of Demon-Sealing Soul Artifacts and the vast cultivation resources before him, Lin Feng’s eyes showed surprise, and the others were no different.

Though they have witnessed great storms, they still felt shocked at this moment.

”Seven Eighth Tier Demon Spirits, thirteen Ninth Tier Demon Spirits, two Earth Chart Demon Spirits, containing nineteen kinds of Diamond Soul Skills, two kinds of Divine Level Soul Skills.”

”Seven King-Breaking Pills, which I specially prepared for you, with vast Qi and Blood, can increase the probability of opening a Pocket World.”

”Ten pounds of Essence of Life.”

”Five Red Infant Petals, which have a supportive effect on the transformation of Demon Spirits into Life Souls.”

”And some nourishing herbs: blood lotus essence, Earth Fire Lotus Seed, Cyan Dragon Ginseng, these are enough to replenish your bodies.”

Zhan Tian’en slowly said.

He was very pleased with Lin Feng and the others’ reaction.

Among the Ten Great Clans of Shangjing, while the Zhan Family’s strength was at the bottom, its financial resources were universally acknowledged as number one.

These things may not seem like much, but each is precious and rare.

This is the collection of three generations over a hundred years of the Zhan Family, and sold half of their assets in recent months to acquire.

Some items here, like Earth Chart Demon Spirits, King-Breaking Pill, and Red Infant Petal, require not only connections but decades to accumulate, to exchange and trade.

It’s not something money alone can buy.

Moreover, the value of cultivation resources has multiplied, while money has depreciated heavily.

Luckily he acted in time, otherwise, even selling cheaply might not find buyers easily.

”Good stuff, all good stuff!”

The array of items before them left everyone speechless.

Among all major forces and corporations nationwide, apart from the government, few could take out so many resources at once.

With these resources, the alliance’s strength will upgrade to a new level, increasing the probability of King Becoming, and naturally, everyone was excited.

But having heard Zhan Tian’en sold even his house.

”Elder Zhan...”

Lin Feng was about to say something when Zhan Tian’en interrupted him; he was preparing to leave the room and said:

”These are just external possessions, they won’t come with you through life or death. Given your talent and records, it is not considered wasteful; besides, it is an investment, expecting returns in the future.”

Lin Feng watched Zhan Tian’en’s departing figure, nodded, and didn’t make any promises.

Zhan Tianyu remained silent throughout.

Seeing his somber mood, Yu Qiao stepped forward and patted his shoulder, smiling:

”Don’t worry, no need to fret. While I cannot vouch for others, I assure you on myself, just this investment in me won’t be a loss for your family; it might even be a big gain!”

”Scram!”

Zhan Tianyu glanced at Yu Qiao and uttered just one word.

He didn’t know where Yu Qiao got such confidence.

”Damn you, boasting about yourself is one thing, and still stepping on us.”

Yun Tianqi also cursed.

”I don’t have a sister, but Lin Feng does, go find him.” Yu Qiao pointed at Lin Feng, laughing cheekily.

Lin Feng paid no attention to Yu Qiao.

Though Yu Qiao can be rather vulgar and arrogant, likes stirring things up, his antics liven the atmosphere quite a bit.

”Before leaving, first absorb the Soul Skills.”

Lin Feng looked towards the Demon Spirits on the ground, his tone somewhat excited.

The others’ eyes also sparkled slightly.

These Demon Spirits were specifically selected by Zhan Tian’en according to their desires.

They had already adjusted their states, making preparations to absorb the Soul Skills ahead of time for the past two days.

Once absorbed, their King Becoming plan will be more assured.

The only concern was Lin Feng.

To a Demon Spirit Master, the importance of Soul Skill is undeniable.

Especially when Zhan Tian’en brought together such rare Soul Skills this time.

Absorbing Soul Skills is indeed joyous, but this joy is built on Lin Feng’s anguish.

More accurately, built on Lin Feng’s life.

The last lesson was still vivid in their memory, chills running down their spines at times just thinking about it.

They couldn’t afford to encounter that Nightmare again.

”Brother Feng, your body...”

Yun Kai hesitated for a moment, wanting to say something, but was deterred by Lin Feng’s warning glare.

”Lin Feng, you don’t have to do it this time. With our current strength, absorbing Soul Skills has a fifty percent success rate. Even failure can be accepted.”

Ye Xing said.

”It’s not necessary. With their talent and the Soul Skills you previously assisted in absorbing, they are absolute leaders in the Same Tier, and an extra Soul Skill won’t change much.”

Bu Yuanlong also advised.

Seeing Bu Yuanlong speak, those who were hesitant joined in.

Even the notoriously abrasive Yu Qiao managed to utter a word of advice.

”Enough, no more chatting. Whether it’s entering the Land of Fallen Gods or the King Becoming plan, it’s dangerous. These Soul Skills are too precious to risk failure.”

Lin Feng said in a somewhat stiff tone.

Seeing others wanted to say more, his expression turned impatient: ”Stop with the empty comforts, I have some confidence. As always, all your lives combined are not worth more than mine, so stop getting sentimental.”

”Sigh.”

Listening to Lin Feng, the others exchanged glances, uncertain whether to cry or laugh.
