Chapter 162 Arrival at the Xiao Family

"116,000 points?"

Chu Han's eyes lit up; such a high number of points indeed exceeded his expectations.

He had thought he would need to enter the Northern Wasteland Mountain Range once more, but now it seemed he wouldn't have to go through that trouble.

He knew that most of these points came from those 7th-Rank Exotic Beasts, especially the Golden Scaled Green Eyed Python, which held the highest value.

One had to realize that for ordinary federal students, 100,000 points required hunting a massive number of low-to-mid-rank exotic beasts, a feat difficult to achieve even over four years.

Yet he had over-fulfilled the task in less than a month, all thanks to his strength that far surpassed others of the same rank.

"Help me process the point exchange procedures," Chu Han said.

Manager Wang did not dare to delay, immediately recording the 113,000 points into Chu Han's identity information.

When he saw that Chu Han's age in the information was only 18, Manager Wang was even more shocked.

"Sir, the points have been exchanged. You can verify them at any time."

Chu Han nodded and immediately checked the hunting points bound to his communication wristband.

116,000 points had already been synchronized to his student card.

Chu Han felt a surge of excitement in his heart.

He had completed the condition for 100,000 points, and it had taken him less than a month.

His cultivation had also broken through to the 6th-rank.

Of the four conditions, the only one left was achieving a ranking in the Elite League of the Top 100 Universities.

For Chu Han, the only thing lacking for the final condition was time.

With his strength, participating in such a competition would be as easy as reaching out and taking what he wanted.

After exchanging the points, Chu Han added, "Manager Wang, I want to sell these exotic beast Materials, as well as some other items. I wonder if you accept them?"

"We do! Of course we do!" Manager Wang said hurriedly. "Our Wilderness Hall is an official federal institution with a guaranteed reputation and absolutely fair prices. Sir, whatever items you have for sale, please feel free to bring them out."

"Good. I'm selling all the Materials in this ring, and also..."

He took out another space ring, which contained all the items he intended to sell.

They were mainly Cultivation Techniques, Secret Manuals, Medicinal Pills, weapons, equipment, and Materials from Old Ghost Chi Yang's space ring that he had no use for.

Most of these items were high-grade goods and worth a fortune.

He had also placed some Materials he had accumulated over the past two months inside.

Manager Wang carefully inspected these items, his shock growing the more he looked.

He discovered that among these items, there were over a dozen 6th-rank Medicinal Pills alone, as well as several S-rank and A-rank Cultivation Techniques, S-rank weapons and equipment, and some special rare Materials.

"Sir, these items are of very high value. I need to carefully calculate the price; please wait a moment," Manager Wang said, then took out an instrument to perform the calculations.

After about an hour, Manager Wang finished the valuation. He took a deep breath and said to Chu Han, "Sir, for your items, the exotic beast Materials are worth 72 billion federal currency, and the other items total 24 billion, for a grand total of 96 billion federal currency. Do you find this price acceptable?"

Chu Han's heart stirred slightly. 96 billion federal currency—this price indeed exceeded his expectations.

Particularly the Materials related to the Golden Scaled Green Eyed Python; selling them alone was worth nearly ten billion. It truly lived up to being a 7th Rank Peak exotic beast.

He nodded. "Fine, we'll trade at this price."

"Excellent!" Manager Wang was overjoyed and immediately arranged for staff to handle the transfer procedures. Soon, 96 billion federal currency was transferred into Chu Han's federal account.

Chu Han checked his account balance. Combined with his previous savings, his net worth was now close to the hundred-billion level.

Feeling the massive numbers in his account, Chu Han was filled with emotion: "As expected, strength is money. For 8th-Rank Grandmasters like Old Ghost Chi Yang and Elder Blood Nether, tens of billions of federal currency are nothing at all. Any random item in their space rings is worth a fortune."

He deeply felt the benefits that strength brought.

Without sufficient strength, he couldn't have hunted so many high-rank exotic beasts, couldn't have killed 8th-Rank Grandmasters, and certainly couldn't have acquired such an enormous amount of wealth.

The main reason he was in a hurry to sell his items for money was to prepare the remaining two Green Lotus Fruits to be refined into green lotus pills.

The prices for the other medicinal herbs needed to refine green lotus pills were also extremely high.

Additionally, he would need to hire a professional Alchemist to refine the green lotus pills, which would be a significant expense.

It was necessary to have more funds prepared.

Next, he prepared to head to the Xiao Family to make a fortune.

It was time to collect the debt Xiao Xuanjun owed him.

After completing all the procedures, he left the supply base.

The supply base was about a thousand kilometers away from An City, where the Xiao Family was located.

Chu Han boarded a train, and the train set off for An City.

Three hours later, the train arrived at the An City station.

Just as he stepped out of the station, a dense aura of Martial Artists rushed toward him.

Most of the pedestrians on the streets had steady auras, carried blades or swords at their waists, and had sharp gazes. Occasionally, when Martial Artists brushed past, they didn't hide the fluctuations of their Yuan Qi in the slightest.

Chu Han made a few casual inquiries and quickly learned the location of the Xiao Family.

As one of the two major families in An City, the Xiao Family's influence was immense.

The manor where the Xiao Family resided was also the most conspicuous in An City.

Because Xiao Xuanjun was injured, the Xiao Family had been under very strict security lately.

Chu Han walked toward the Xiao Family, and everything he saw along the way was unprecedented.

An City was entirely a city of Martial Artists; most of the shops on both sides of the streets sold weapons, Medicinal Pills, and exotic beast Materials.

Some Martial Artists even came to blows over minor disagreements, with blood spilling on the streets, yet the surrounding people were accustomed to it, and some even stopped to watch and cheer.

The official patrol teams only watched from a distance, not daring to step forward and interfere at all.

"Truly a paradise for Martial Artists and a nightmare for ordinary people," Chu Han thought to himself.

Here, strength was the only Law, and the Law of the jungle was manifested to the fullest.

Half an hour later, a massive manor appeared before his eyes.

The manor occupied a vast area, with walls over ten meters high and an incredibly grand main gate.

Eight 6th-rank Martial Artists with solid auras stood at the entrance, alertly scanning the passing pedestrians. Inside the manor, several powerful auras could be faintly felt, clearly the Xiao Family's guard force.

At this moment, inside the main hall of the Xiao Family, a white-haired old man sat at the head.

This old man was exceptionally ugly, with triangular eyes, a hawk nose, and an upturned lip that revealed two yellowed fangs. However, the aura radiating from his body was extremely robust, faintly exceeding the 8th Rank Initial Stage of Xiao Xuanjun and approaching the level of the 8th Rank Mid-stage.

His name was Li Zhengtian, and in his youth, he had been a fanatical pursuer of Xiao Xuanjun.

Despite Xiao Xuanjun's extreme loathing for him, he remained devoted and never married, spending these years living in seclusion in the deep mountains near An City, focusing on his cultivation.

After Xiao Xuanjun was injured this time, she was truly unable to contend with Chu Han, who might come looking for her. In her desperation, she remembered this powerful pursuer and sent someone to invite him.

Not long after Li Zhengtian sat down, he stood up impatiently and walked toward Xiao Xuanjun's place of secluded cultivation.

Inside the cultivation room, Xiao Xuanjun was sitting cross-legged on a futon, surrounded by misty water vapor. Her aura had mostly recovered, and her injuries were clearly no longer a major concern.

Hearing the movement, she slowly opened her eyes and looked at Li Zhengtian. Her gaze was still icy, without the slightest hint of warmth.

"A-Jun, I didn't expect you would actually take the initiative to ask for my help this time."

Li Zhengtian looked at Xiao Xuanjun, a flash of obsession and love appearing in his triangular eyes, his tone carrying an irrepressible joy.

He was already in his nineties, yet he still couldn't forget the eighty-seven-year-old Xiao Xuanjun.

Xiao Xuanjun spoke flatly, her tone showing no sign of someone asking for a favor: "An enemy may come to the door soon. I need your help."

She had always been dismissive of Li Zhengtian's feelings, not only because of his ugly appearance but also because of his ruthless actions and despicable character. However, the situation was critical now, and she truly had no other choice.

But Li Zhengtian didn't care about her coldness at all. Instead, he said with a heart full of joy, "The fact that you could look for me means you still have me in your heart! Don't worry, A-Jun. With me here, no one can harm a single hair on your head! I want to see just who is so bold as to dare target the Xiao Family!"

He patted his chest and guaranteed with absolute confidence, his eyes full of certainty.

Just then, a loud "boom" rang out, and the entire Xiao Family manor shook violently.

An overbearing voice resounded through all of An City like a thunderclap, making people's eardrums tremble: "Xiao Xuanjun! Come out and meet your death!"
