Chapter 362 I've Contracted This Mountain Top
"Hey, this northern half of the mountain is a public place, why can't I go up?" Zhang Menglong said displeasedly.
"This isn't a place you should be coming to, nor is it a question you should be asking!" The leader still spoke with an icy tone.
"You don't recognize me?" Zhang Menglong was somewhat surprised. It wasn't that he was vain, but by all logic, there shouldn't be many people in Huaxia, or even the whole world, who didn't know him. Yet, this young man seemed to have never seen him before.
"I don't care who you are, leave immediately. This is your last warning!"
"Wow, so arrogant?"
"Mr. Zhang," Ye Yin's voice suddenly rang out, "this Ancient Martial Arts Family holds a very special status in society. They generally live in secluded places rarely visited by others, and aside from those members who gather wealth for their families, they seldom interact with the outside world. If you want to go up this mountain, it might not be easy."
"Did they buy this mountain?" Zhang Menglong communicated with Ye Yin telepathically.
"This..." Ye Yin hesitated, and then said, "Mr. Zhang, these Ancient Martial Arts Families, although unlike Longxia, are not directly controlled by the state, they have aided the country in resolving many invasions by second-world humans, so they have certain special rights. As long as it's an uninhabited place, they can freely settle there and have absolute autonomy within a certain area."
"So, this place isn't bought by them, right?"
Ye Yin couldn't help but roll her eyes. She had been trying to explain just how special the Ancient Martial Arts Families were, but Zhang Menglong's attention was entirely on whether they bought the mountain.
"Since they didn't buy this place, why can't I go up there?"
"Sir, their autonomy is extensive; they could even kill people outright until these acts were curbed in recent decades. If a common person tries to forcefully enter the territory of an Ancient Martial Arts Family, it absolutely won't end well."
"What if I must go up there?"
"Then we will fight our way up!" Ye Yin replied, "Mr. Zhang, are you here for that girl?"
"No kidding, or else am I here to race cars?" Zhang Menglong retorted.
"I have already checked the details of this girl for you, Mr. Zhang. Miss Hong Yi has already responded to me."
"Oh? Tell me about it?" Zhang Menglong only knew her name was Chen Bingyu and that her Potential Index had reached 11 points. The rest was rather meaningless information.
"This Chen Bingyu is the most outstanding person of this generation in the Chen Family. You may not know, practicing ancient martial arts is different from having supernatural abilities. Those with supernatural abilities are strongest in their middle age. As they age, their bodily functions decline, and most supernatural abilities weaken."
"But Ancient Martial Artists grow stronger the more they practice. However, their growth rate is very slow. Generally, if a family fully supports a member, it's quite an achievement to become a Level One Ancient Martial Artist by age 20. Chen Bingyu, however, became a Level Two Martial Artist at 18 and this year at 21, she already has a chance to challenge becoming a Level Three Martial Artist."
"Oh, so what?"
"Nothing much..." Ye Yin felt somewhat speechless. In the circle of ancient martial arts, someone like Chen Bingyu is considered a treasure, but it's a bit... in front of Zhang Menglong.
Zhang Menglong had been practicing the Three Elements Unite mental method for only a few months, powered by a continuous supply of Fighting Spirit Pills, and his strength was already stronger than that of a Level Seven Ancient Martial Artist. Generally, Martial Artists of Level Seven were at least in their sixties.
"Aren't you going to leave?"
"Mr. Zhang, they are insolent. Let me teach them a lesson for you!" Ye Yin's murderous intent surfaced, for him, insulting Zhang Menglong was an unforgivable offense.
"It's possible but unnecessary," Zhang Menglong chuckled, "If I beat them up and storm up there, wouldn't that make me seem a bit overbearing? We are civilized people, and civilized people should talk first!"
"Fine, I'm leaving now, and I'll come back later!" Zhang Menglong immediately drove away.
"What did he say?" Several guards from the Chen Family looked at each other.
"He seems to have said he's coming back later." Continue your saga on My Virtual Library Empire
"Sneaking around tracking our young lady, he's definitely up to no good. If he dares come back, don't blame us for being impolite!"
...
"Hong Yi, I want to buy a plot of land. I want to see the land development agreement within an hour!"
"Alright, Mr. Zhang!"
...
An hour later, Zhang Menglong's car once again stopped at the foot of the mountain, and the group of young men who had blocked Zhang Menglong before appeared again, only this time their expressions were exceptionally gloomy.
"You dare to come back?"
"Why wouldn't I dare?" Zhang Menglong said, "This is a society ruled by law, don't tell me you plan to claim the mountain as your own? It's as if you've bought this place."
"Even if we haven't bought this place, since our Chen Family has taken a liking to it, it is now our territory. Ordinary people like you aren't qualified to go up!"
The young man suddenly struck out towards the side, a strong inner strength surged out, leaving a palm imprint one inch deep on the trunk of a tree.
He was more than five meters away from that tree. If that strike had hit a person, it would undoubtedly result in shattered bones and ruptured internal organs.
"Clap clap clap clap!" Amid the astonished gazes of the youths, Zhang Menglong actually began to applaud.
"Not bad, not bad, do it again!"
"Is... is he not afraid at all?"
"Is he an idiot?"
...
"Kid, whether you are genuinely dumb or just pretending, this is Chen Family's place. You better leave here quickly, or else the next palm strike will be on you!"
"Oh, sorry, I have leased this mountain now," Zhang Menglong said, "In other words, this place is now mine, I am the master here, you can all leave!"
"What did you say?" The men were stunned.
"What? Don't believe it?" Zhang Menglong walked forward, throwing a stack of documents into their hands, "I have already spent 12 million to buy the development rights for this piece of land, now I want to go up and have a look, any objections?"
The young man flipped through the documents, which were clearly development contracts from the Jiangnan City Land Bureau, selling the development rights for the northern half of the mountain at 12 million for three years, directly to the young man in front of them!
"You better leave quickly, or I'll call the police! You are trespassing on private property!" Zhang Menglong swaggered towards the mountain.
"What do we do?"
"What do we do? We are an Ancient Martial Arts Family, we have privileges. Even if he has bought the place, as long as our Chen Family doesn't agree, even the documents from the Land Bureau cannot bind us!"
"Then him..."
"Break his legs and throw him out!"
"Stop right there!" the leading youth shouted to Zhang Menglong.
"What else is there?" Zhang Menglong turned around.
"You still can't go up! If you don't leave, don't blame us for getting rough!"
"Oh? Ready to get rough?" Zhang Menglong sneered, "I am a reasonable person, which is why I didn't just rush up. Now that I've leased this mountain, and you still won't let me go up? I talk reason with you, and you act like hooligans to me?"
"Stop wasting words with him, I think he's just some clan's pawn sent here to deliberately cause trouble!"
"Go!"
"Boom!" Zhang Menglong channeled his full inner strength and stamped down, the powerful force instantly cracked the road surface, and a network of fine cracks spread out like a spider web.
Zhang Menglong extended his right hand, crooked his index and middle finger, "Come at me!"
