Level Up in Martial World

"Which sect?" she asked with a frown on her face.

"I don't know," Lu Zhen just shrugged.

"Mother, is this inheritance cave so valuable?" he asked with a curious expression on his face, seeing the serious expression on her face.

"Yes, it is the most important thing for a force to rise. If we can fully use the entire inheritance cave, we will be able to become a super force even in the outside world," Lu Ying said with a sigh.

"Then we are in even more trouble now," Lu Zhen said with narrowed eyes.

"Correct," Lu Ying rolled her eyes.

"How strong is the sect from your perspective, son?" Lu Ying asked with a curious expression.

"If all the intel from the outside world is true, then they shouldn't be such a large force themselves. At most, they might be a mid-sized sect," Lu Zhen replied with a sneer on his face.

If the sect was stronger than that, they shouldn't have gone through so much trouble to plot and even hatch a plan in the shadows and go through so much trouble.

Even if they had some trouble in which they couldn't show themselves, what's the point of planting the spies and even after their army marched they still needed the intel, which meant that the disparity of strength wasn't too big for them to be so cautious.

"You might be right, Lu Zhen," Lu Ying nodded her head. "So what will you do now?"

"Let's resume all our events even tomorrow and go on from there. My coronation will be tomorrow anyway," Lu Zhen said with a casual shrug.

"Alright," Lu Ying said with a nod.

"By the way, do you know the guy I defeated and used him as a stepping stone?" A small smirk formed on his lips.

"What is it?"

"He is from the outside world."

"Then how did he come here? Although his strength might be strong, he doesn't have the power to cross all the things here," Lu Ying said with a frown on her face.

"I don't know," Lu Zhen shrugged.

"Anyway, let's rest for today. Tomorrow, my son is finally going to be the leader…" a small smile graced her lips.

….

The entire Phoenix city was in a bustling condition with red lanterns hanging in the middle of the day.

In the bustling street, everyone had a smile on their face as they all advanced towards the right corner of the city to the Lu family residency with a smile on their face.

"Huh, why are people in such a good mood today?" a man asked as he casually sipped his tea.

Everyone in the stall looked at the man with a strange expression on their faces.

"You don't know about it, brother?"

"No," the man asked with a confused expression, taking more sips of the tea.

"The young master of the Lu family is going to be the leader of the city, and they are going to unite the entire city under the Lu family," he said with an excited voice.

"Then what are you so excited about?" the man asked with a frown on his face.

"Because we are finally going to gain peace and not be ground by all four sides of those superpowers."

"What do you mean?"

"You see, previously we had to pay taxes to every four major families in the city if we wanted to run our business, making the price sky-high. But now, we only have to pay the Lu Family, although the amount has doubled, but still, our expenses also decreased by half as well," the shopkeeper said with an excited expression on his face.

"Besides, there will be a banquet at night where we are all able to get free food and wine for the night. I will be closing my shop at that time too, brother. If you want some free food, you are welcome to come by," the shopkeeper said with a warm smile.

"No thanks," the man said as he left a golden biscuit on the table and left the place.

The shopkeeper's eyes widened when he saw the gold on the table.

"This…" he tremblingly went to the gold and touched it and carefully inspected it. "Is this real?" He was too scared to mentally think as he saw the gold, with his eyes widened open as if his entire soul was on it.

The man made his way through the street. Seeing the bustling street, he also followed the crowd, soon blending into the crowd, and his figure disappeared almost instantly.

"Should I go to the Lu family to investigate if the spy we planted found out?..." the man thought as countless questions swirled in his head, which caused him to frown.

"What should I do?" he sneered shortly later. "If I get scared of such an isolated place, then the leader will kill me before these Lu families could kill me."

The man had a mocking smile on his face as he made his way towards the family; however, he minimized his presence to the nihility and blended well with the crowd. Soon, he saw the huge Lu family residence.

The vast residence was masterfully decorated, with the crowd flocking towards it to the point that almost one kilometer of the area around the Lu residency was filled with people.

"How many people does this small place have?" the man frowned.

Suddenly, he heard some noise and looked to the side, seeing groups of men and women who were dancing towards the residence with a smile on their faces as they carried various gifts and such.

As they advanced, the crowd made way for them. Seeing this, the man's eyes lit up.

"I can use them as cover to enter…" he silently made his way through the herds of people and masterfully blended with the group.

"Let's change into their clothes." The man took out his cloaks, revealing the exact dress the men of this group wore in thin air.

"Let's hurry; if we are late, we can't curry favor from the young master and your daughter-" the middle-aged man leading the group said.

"Yes, father, I understand," the girl said with a resigned expression on her face.

As they entered the residence of the Lu family, a small gate opened for them to enter.

The inside was as bustling as outside; however, all the people had a demeanor and were all keeping it to themselves while talking in hushed voices.

But they all had a fawning expression as they will all be in line carrying the gifts like they do.

The middle-aged man frowned when he saw the long line as he gritted his teeth.

"Young master, I want to talk about our daughter's marriage to you. Can you let us go on ahead…"

The crowd suddenly paused when they heard the old man's voice as they sneered before they continued to wait patiently.

"Huh, what's wrong with them?" the middle-aged man thought with a frown.

"If you want to give your daughter a hand, then you need to line up there," a servant came with a smirk on his face as he pointed at an even longer line of people.

The pupils of the old man dilapidated with shock on his face seeing the long line.
