1397 A Group of Spirit Grandmasters

Xiong Lu stared at the approaching group of young men and women with a look of disbelief. While he researched the people around Yuan, he only knew their names and had never seen their faces before, so he didn't know they belonged to the Demon Sealing Faction.

"E-Excuse me!" Xiong Lu subconsciously called out to them once they were close enough.

"Huh? What do you want?" Wang Ming asked with a slight frown on his face, as he was in a bad mood after their tortuous training.

"Where are you guys coming from? I thought the Xiong Family lives closest to the mountain's peak." Xiong Lu asked.

"We came from the peak, but why do you care?"

"The peak?! Does that mean you've met the lord of this mountain before?!" Xiong Lu was shocked to learn this information, as even his father had never seen the Lord before.

"Ah, I'm too tired for this. I'll return first." Chu Liuxiang said before suddenly flying into the air and disappearing from the scene.

"?!?!" Xiong Lu's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. This was his first time witnessing someone fly outside of Cultivation Online. In fact, he didn't even know it was possible.

'I wasn't mistaken! They are really Spirit Grandmasters!' Xiong Lu cried inwardly after confirming it.

"If there's nothing else, we will leave." Wang Ming said a moment later.

"W-Wait! Just one more question! Are you guys really Spirit Grandmasters? How did you reach that level so quickly?!" Although he already knew the answer, he needed to hear it from their mouths to completely believe it.

"So what if we are Spirit Grandmasters? And since that is two questions, I will only answer the first one."

"I will pay you!" Xiong Lu suddenly blurted out.

"Huh?" Wang Ming raised his eyebrows.

"If you help me reach Spirit Grandmaster as well, I will pay you a billion dollars! If you think I am joking, my name is Xiong Lu, heir of the Xiong Family! I will even sign a contract!" Xiong Lu said, appearing quite desperate.

"The Xiong Family?" Wang Ming and the others muttered in a low voice, as if they were recalling something.

A smile appeared on Xiong Lu when he saw this. If they recognized his family, it would make negotiations much easier for him.

However, what came out of Wang Ming and the others' mouths a moment later left Xiong Lu in shambles.

"I would even wager the Lord dealing with you himself if he knew about it. He owes Yuan a great amount, after all." Wu Zao chuckled. _{freewebnoveℓ.com}

Xiong Lu subconsciously stepped back after learning that Yuan had a close connection with the Lord of the Dragon Spiral Mountain.

"P-Please wait a moment! I acknowledge that I had threatened Yuan, but it was done out of sheer anger, and I don't have the intention to follow through with it!"

In the presence of nearly a dozen Spirit Grandmasters, Xiong Lu's fleeting courage, which had manifested moments ago, dissipated like wisps of smoke. Despite his earlier declaration that he would prefer death over submission, it became apparent that beneath his facade of bravado, he was but a timid soul, relying on the shield of his family's influence to feign a lofty demeanor.

"I swear! I will never harm Yuan!"

However, Wang Ming suddenly laughed out loud and said, "You wouldn't be able to harm a single hair on him even if you wanted to! That guy is a monster who can treat all of us like toddlers in a fight!"

"I advise you to give up on revenge if you value your life. Offending someone like Yuan is the worst thing one can do." Xu Murong nodded.

Wang Ming approached Xiong Lu and placed a hand on his shoulder, squeezing it with enough strength to send shivers throughout his body, and whispered, "Even though you claim you won't do anything, I don't trust people like you, so I will be keeping an eye on you. If you think the Xiong Family is untouchable, you are nothing but a frog in a well."

Xiong Lu could do nothing but silently nod, his back soaked in cold sweat.
