Chapter 1490 The Extra Ones Are the Medical Expenses

“I can’t believe it.”

Mengmeng returned to Zhang Han’s side and muttered, “He ran away in the middle of the spar.”

“He saw that you dealt with those two moves with ease, and he knew that he can’t defeat you easily.” Zhang Han said with a smile, “Even if he played all his trump cards, he would still lose, so he might as well simply lose and then leave.”

“But he hasn’t given me his spirit treasures yet.” Mengmeng snorted and said, “If he dares to go back on his word, I will beat him up.”

“Alas, Mengmeng.” Jiang Yanlan sighed softly. “I’ve cultivated for so many years, but I’m only at the God Transformation Realm Last Stage. You’ve only been cultivating for a few years, but you’ve already become so powerful. I feel like I’ve suffered a great blow.”

“Hahaha.” Yue Wuwei suddenly laughed and said, “You can compare yourself with anyone but Mengmeng. Do you know that it’s useless to compare yourself with her?”

Yue Wuwei was also a powerful figure. However, Zhang Han was a reborn expert who had passed the Tribulation Stage Ninth Tier, and Mengmeng was even the Heavenly Lord. Yue Wuwei couldn’t even think of anyone who could compare with her.

“You won without any hesitation. Amazing.” Headmaster Shan applauded on the side.

Tens of thousands of people in the surroundings were clamoring and discussing this matter.

“Zhang Yumeng has only been in the sect for a short time, but she has already become the No.1 in the east of the south coast. She has fought several battles and defeated Ge Xiliu, the No.1 in the west. This is simply unprecedented!”

“What a wonderful battle, especially when Senior Brother Ge Xiliu fled without any hesitation. This is worth learning.”

“Keep your voice down. Didn’t you hear what the Peak Master just said?”

“…”

The crowd slowly dispersed, and Zhang Han’s group left faster.

On their way back, Hun Xuan quickly caught up with them.

“Congratulations, Zhang Yumeng, on your wonderful victory.”

“Well, thank you.”

“I’ll go over and chat with you when I have time,” Hun Xuan said with a smile and then left.

Zhang Han took a look into the distance.

Hun Shang was standing there. When he saw his sister’s behavior, he felt a little helpless, but he did not say anything. He was inarticulate.

When Zhang Han’s eyes fell on him, he felt a bit nervous.

“Why do I feel that this look in his eyes is a little… unfathomable?”

He slightly shook his head.

Hun Shang and his sister also left.

A great battle had come to an end.

Zhang Yumeng’s name was spread throughout the south coast of the Sword Sect and even to the extent that many disciples on the north coast had heard of her.

“The holiday is coming to an end.”

“It’s going to be the New Year again. Mengmeng, you’re 19 years old. Oh my god, we’ve grown up.”

Yue Xiaonao counted her age and said, “I feel that it’s time to go out and have fun on my own.”

“With your meager martial arts skills, where are you going to have fun?” Lisa said lightly.

Her words made Yue Xiaonao listless.

Yue Xiaonao and Yue Wuwei often teased each other, but they wouldn’t joke with Lisa.

Ever since Yue Xiaonao was young, Lisa had always been disciplining her.

The crowd returned to their residences in the Swordbamboo Peak.

Only after a few minutes, the Peak Master was there.

“Hahaha, Zhang Yumeng, you’ve really brought great glory to our Swordbamboo Peak. Impressive.” The Peak Master laughed from a distance. When he approached Mengmeng, he said, “Come with me to visit Elder Blackeyed. He has a surprise for you.”

“What’s the surprise about?” Mengmeng blinked and asked.

The Peak Master smiled and said, “He didn’t say it, but I guess there should be some substantial rewards, such as sixth-tier or even seventh-tier spirit treasures.”

“Okay, then let’s go.” Mengmeng got up with a smile.

It would be a waste not to take the rewards.

“Shall we go together?” Zi Yan asked Zhang Han in a low voice.

Zhang Han nodded slightly and said, “Sure.”

Everyone got up and followed the Peak Master to take an articraft and leave.

They had nothing to do anyway, so they thought that it wouldn’t be a bad idea to go over together.

They arrived at their destination.

On top of a mountain peak, there was only one house. It was like a detached villa. Every elder had a mountain peak with rich Spiritual Qi as their house.

Elder Blackeye looked exactly as his name implied. His eyes were pitch-black.

He gave off a strange feeling.

When he saw the crowd, he smiled and said, “You must be Zhang Yumeng.”

“Yes.” Mengmeng nodded.

“Very nice. Entering the sect with cultivation at the stage of the Void-refining Realm is very rare. I hope you can have a happy experience in the Sword Sect,” Elder Blackeye slowly said.

His tone was slow, and he used the word “experience”.

This meant that Grand Elder Tian Chen had already talked to him. The Sect Leader’s senior was among Mengmeng’s group, so Blackeye had to treat them with caution.

“This is your command token. From today onward, you’ll be a protector of the Sword Sect.” Elder Blackeye withdrew a command token that represented the holder’s identity as a protector.

“Thank you, Elder.” Mengmeng took the token and looked at it for a while. She was in a good mood.

...

“These are your rewards for being the new disciples’ role model and a new protector.” Elder Blackeye took out another five kinds of sixth-tier spirit treasures, all of which were some spirit herbs that were useful for cultivation.

At the same time, he said, “If you don’t have a sixth-tier spirit sword, you can go to the Sword Sea and choose a sword you like.

“No, thanks. I have my swords,” Mengmeng replied.

She had quite a few sixth-tier spirit swords, which had all kinds of functions and could deal with many occasions.

Blackeye said with a smile, “Alright then, Protector Zhang. If you are interested, you can continue to challenge the talented disciples. Under the influence of your challenge, the number of people who have challenged others in the sect has increased tenfold than before. This is a good thing.”

“Got it.”

Just as Mengmeng and her companions were about to leave, Elder Blackeye cupped his hands to Yue Wuwei, Zhang Han, and the others.

Zhang Han nodded slightly and then left the place.

“Congratulations, Protector Zhang.”

The Peak Master was rather courteous along the way.

Hun Shang was also a protector of the sect.

...

However, he had achieved many meritorious deeds before becoming a protector.

As for Mengmeng, she didn’t make any contributions but only issued a few challenges.

She had an almost aboveboard backer.

In the past, there had been powerful disciples, but in the end, they were nothing more than supervisors.

The higher-ups didn’t know their origins or loyalty to the sect, so how could they put those disciples in an important position? What if they were spies of the enemy?

“Now we have to call you Protector Zhang, tut-tut,” Yue Xiaonao said.

“It sounds a little awkward.” Mengmeng pouted and said, “I always feel that it refers to my dad.”

“You’ll get used to it slowly,” Zhang Han said with a smile.

On their way to their residences, they also heard a lot of discussions.

“Zhang Yumeng is now in the limelight. She is really powerful. I guess she will challenge Heavenly Hound next.”

“Really? Heavenly Hound is a real expert at the Void-refining Realm Middle Stage. It is said that Zhang Yumeng should be at the Void-refining Realm Early Stage.”

“Her information shows that she is only at the God Transformation Realm Early Stage. It’s too fake. She is obviously pretending to be weak to defeat the strong.”

“Maybe one day, when Zhang Yumeng challenges Heavenly Hound, this piece of news will be spread.”

Many people were discussing this matter.

Mengmeng, as the number one cultivator in the east of the south coast, had defeated Ge Xiliu. The next step she took was to defeat Heavenly Hound, the number one cultivator of the south coast.

Heavenly Hound had Holy Wind Dog King. Moreover, his strength was extremely great. It was unknown just how many years it had been since someone challenged him.

Heavenly Hound, as an outstanding talent on the south coast of the sect, had a great reputation and was ranked among the top on the lists of the other sects.

“I don’t think she’ll do it.”

Many people retorted, “Zhang Yumeng is not a fool. An expert like Heavenly Hound can’t be challenged at will. Without confidence, she won’t ask for a snub.”

“Heavenly Hound has dominated this generation. Zhang Yumeng is definitely no match for him.”

It seemed that Heavenly Hound had quite a few admirers on the south coast.

Mengmeng heard this kind of discussion, but she didn’t think too much about it. Maybe she would challenge him, but she would have to rest for the next two days.

Every time her cultivation was over, she had to entertain herself for a few days at least.

“Dad, Mom, I heard that the scenery over at the Plum Sea is good. Let’s go there tomorrow,” Mengmeng said.

“Sure.”

Zi Yan smiled.

The next day, when the crowd just went out, everyone walked along the forest path like camping.

When they passed by the big platform at the foot of the mountain, a white-shirted man with an extraordinary aura directly walked over.

“Nice to meet you.”

After attracting the attention of Mengmeng and the others, he looked at Mengmeng and said, “You must be Zhang Yumeng.”

“I am,” Mengmeng replied.

“You look very beautiful, but…” The man said lightly, “You need to stop before it’s too late. Senior Brother Heavenly Hound is not someone you can challenge now. If you go to fight him, you’ll only embarrass yourself. You’d better remain as the No.1 in the east of the south coast.”

What he said immediately made everyone realize that he was looking for trouble.

“Who are you?” Mengmeng asked.

“I’m Dong Lai from the Sword Edge.”

With these words, the man took a deep look at Mengmeng and turned to leave.

A small number of disciples around heard it, and their faces couldn’t help changing slightly.

“He’s Dong Lai, the No.1 in Wave Sword Peak.”

“He’s also very strong. He’s a chief supervisor of the sect.”

“But he’s not as powerful as Zhang Yumeng. Why did he provoke her?”

“…”

“Is there something wrong with him?” Mengmeng was baffled.

Zhang Han looked at the white-shirt man for a while and then stretched out his palm.

Dong Lai took a step forward, but he was retreating.

His face changed slightly. He leaned to one side and said, “Zhang Yumeng, as a protector of the sect, are you going to bully me?”

“What?!”

Many people exclaimed in surprise.

“Zhang Yumeng of our Swordbamboo Peak is a protector now?”

“Oh my god, she has advanced so fast!”

Dong Lai was caught by Zhang Han in shock.

“Who asked you to come to her?” Zhang Han asked.

“I came here myself.” Dong Lai lowered his voice and said, “Senior Brother Heavenly Hound has just come back from the war zone and is seriously injured. If you go to challenge him now, even if you win, you will have an unfair advantage. I’m just here to warn you not to challenge him. Otherwise, you will have many enemies on the south coast. I’m trying to persuade you with good words. Do you still want to be rough?”

Zhang Han laughed.

He even applauded and said, “Well said.”

“You’re not here to persuade us. You’re here to disgust us,” Zi Yan said lightly.

“Protector Zhang.” Dong Lai looked at Mengmeng and said, “I’m just telling the truth. If there’s a conflict of words, then I…”

“Cut the crap. If you want to leave, I’ll give you a ride.”

Zhang Han didn’t bother to say anything. He merely ran his power a bit.

Swoosh!

Dong Lai went straight into the sky and almost fainted under the impact of the energy. He felt that the world was spinning and his body was out of his control.

“Sure enough, Zhang Yumeng has a powerful backer.”

Dong Lai thought to himself. He thought that he could fly away after the power stopped, but he still couldn’t control his body. He was very numb. As Dong Lai looked at the ground that was getting closer and closer, his pupils shrank slightly.

“Humph, unbelievable.” Mengmeng said grumpily, “Couldn’t he just talk nicely? Why did he have to ask for trouble?”

“There are different kinds of people here. If you don’t like them, just teach them a lesson.”

After Zhang Han finished speaking, the group continued to move forward.

The Plum Sea was quite far away from Swordbamboo Peak. It would take them at least half a day to reach it.

Fortunately, there was an underground passage on the way to Plum Sea for the high-end matt ground vehicles.

When the crowd arrived at the station, they paid a few crystal stones and got in the vehicle.

There were 50 to 60 people in the carriage.

When those disciples saw Mengmeng and the others, they began to discuss in low voices.

“It’s Zhang Yumeng.”

“Amazing. I watched the battle with my own eyes. She is very powerful.”

“I want to go over and say hello, but I don’t dare.”

“…”

While many people were secretly watching, a woman hesitated for a moment before walking over.

She stood a few meters in front of Mengmeng.

“Nice to meet you, Zhang Yumeng. I admire you.”

Before Mengmeng could respond, she continued, “But I have something to remind you of.”

During the conversation, she raised a sound-proof cover and said, “I heard a lot of people say that you are going to challenge Heavenly Hound next. I just learned that Heavenly Hound came back from the war zone and is injured. He has a lot of supporters. If you want to challenge him, you will cause public anger. You’d better wait for his injury to recover before challenging him.”

Mengmeng did not want to say much after hearing that, so she responded, “Okay. Got it.”

After that, the woman turned and left.

“It seems that Heavenly Hound is a celebrity in our sect,” Zi Yan said softly.

“It’s so not cool.” Yue Xiaonao snorted and said, “It’s not easy for us to come out and have fun, but we keep encountering these annoying people.”

“I don’t know what they’re thinking. They’re so worried about others’ affairs,” Mengmeng muttered.

About ten minutes later, the matt ground vehicle began to slow down and arrived at the station.

At this time, Mengmeng’s group had already arrived at the Plum Sea Station.

After they left the station, they saw a seaside square with pleasant scenery. The most distinctive part was the red plum blossoms, which could be found everywhere on the coast. Even the small island not far away was covered with red plum blossoms.

The most special thing was that red fishes often jumped out of the water or swam in groups in the sea. Some of them looked like big goldfish, but their color and shape were like the red plum petals on the shore.

That was why this place was called Plum Sea.

Facing the sea, everyone was in a good mood.

As they walked to the shore, they enjoyed the scenery.

Mengmeng said in a leisurely tone, “Thirty thousand kilometers long of the river rushes into the sea, fifty thousand kilometers high of the mountain goes up into the sky. The oppressive people’s tears have dried up, and they have longed for their savior for another year. Why do I feel like this Plum Sea has the artistic conception of a battle?”

Mengmeng read a poem casually. The poem was about the people suffering in war, who had shed all their tears under the oppression of the barbarians. They hoped that the imperial army would fight against the north year after year. The poem had the artistic conception of a battle.

Mengmeng also felt a little of that here.

“It does,” Yue Xiaonao echoed.

At this time, Zhang Han smiled and said, “The Plum Sea was originally a battlefield. At that time, there were eight major sects on the Vast Heaven Star.”

“Oh, so that’s how it is.”

Mengmeng came to a sudden realization and then asked curiously, “But how?”

Zhang Han knew what she was asking, so he said, “Most of the time, the artistic conception is like this. It’s very mysterious. It carries history and shows some traces.”

“Well…”

They were enjoying the scenery in a good mood.

There were also many people nearby.

Unexpectedly, there were uninvited guests again.

This time, it was a team with about a dozen people. The leading one, a handsome man in white, came over and made obeisance.

“Greetings, Protector Zhang. I’m Hu Sui from the South Sand Peak.”

“Protector Zhang, we heard that you are about to challenge Senior Brother Heavenly Hound. Is this true?”

This was the third time that Mengmeng had encountered such a thing.

She exhaled a long breath, looking a little impatient. She said, “So what if it’s true?”

“All people will be truly glad if it’s true, but if it’s false, I think you will surely have countless enemies.” Hu Sui said with a faint smile, “You are now a protector and the No.1 in the east. You have defeated Ge Xiliu, so you are indeed qualified to challenge Senior Brother Heavenly Hound. However, Senior Brother Heavenly Hound is not in a good state, but he usually never refuses the request of sparring with his peers. If he doesn’t refuse, we can’t stand it, so we come to remind you that you need to think more about what you should do. ”

“Yes.”

Another person echoed, “Protector Zhang, you’re young and beautiful, and you must be reasonable.”

“To understand others can also help you achieve your own goal. Senior Brother Hu, you don’t need to tell me what to do.”

“Haha, I am only here to inform you of the situation out of goodwill. I have no intention of offending you.” Hu Duan laughed.

“Haha.” Zhang Han suddenly chuckled and said, “I’ve never told my daughter about these principles. What qualifications do you little guys have to be so hypocritical?”

“Are you Zhang Yumeng’s father? Sorry, I didn’t recognize you. It’s my honor to meet you, senior.” Hu Sui and the others cupped their hands.

Seeing this, Mengmeng clapped her hands and said, “It’s really interesting. You’re the third group of people to come to me to talk about this. It’s true that I’m beautiful, but it’s not necessarily true that I’m reasonable. Don’t disturb me again, or I’ll beat that Heavenly Hound today.”

The faces of Hu Sui and the others turned slightly pale.

Hu Sui, in particular, let out a long sigh. “Alright, then I won’t say anything more. Goodbye.”

They turned around and left.

The several disturbances were buzzkills.

Everyone stood on the shore, and Mengmeng spoke less.

Seeing this, Zi Yan chuckled and said, “Let’s go. Since Senior Brother Heavenly Hound is injured, why don’t we visit him?”

“Let’s go!”

Mengmeng’s eyes lit up a little.

She did not listen to the principles of others when it came to what she wanted to do.

“There are so many disciples in the sect. Since they don’t want me to go to him, I’ll have to go and have a look!”

Mengmeng’s eyes revealed a hint of anger that she was about to beat Heavenly Hound up.

If Heavenly Hound knew about this, he would probably be shouting, “I’m not afraid of facing a formidable opponent, but my incompetent juniors are dragging me down!”

If he and Mengmeng were to spar, they would have to contact each other in advance. There was no need for those disciples to go to her and talk about it.

However, these people were kind-hearted, just like the idiot teamplayers in the game. What they did trapped Heavenly Hound, and they would say weakly, “I’m sorry, Eldest Brother.”

It was so annoying and hilarious.

Mengmeng had found out where Heavenly Hound was.

She found that there were a lot of people coming and going on his mountain. He was chatting with some disciples in the square.

When Mengmeng and the others got close to him, they heard Heavenly Hound saying, “Don’t disturb Zhang Yumeng.”

That was nice, but what he said next was not.

“Even if I’m injured, it’s impossible for me to lose.

“This little injury is nothing. I can’t wait for someone to challenge me.

“When I was famous, you were still nobodies. Maybe you weren’t even born by then. Do I need you to plead for me?

“Zhang Yumeng alone is no match for me. What’s there to be afraid of even if she and her companions come at me together?”

His words were so majestic that the dozens of people in front of him were very excited.

“Senior Brother Heavenly Hound is so handsome.”

“This is the invincible will.”

“…”

Mengmeng’s face darkened.

Zhang Han, Zi Yan, and the others were slightly stunned.

Heavenly Hound was quite different from what they had imagined.

“Senior Brother Heavenly Hound, how are you hurt?” Mengmeng stepped forward and gave him a sweet fake smile.

Someone recognized her and suddenly swallowed.

“My Divine Soul has been injured. I just need to recuperate for a while. It doesn’t matter. Junior sister, which peak are you from?” Heavenly Hound asked with a friendly smile.

“Oh, it’s a Divine Soul injury. Dad.”

Mengmeng stretched out her hand to the back.

Hearing this, Zhang Han took out three medicinal pellets.

Hiss!

Those were three sixth-tier medicinal pellets.

Heavenly Hound’s pupils contracted when he saw them.

Mengmeng said again, “We need more.”

Hearing this, Zhang Han took out six more medicinal pellets.

“Well, these medicinal pellets should be enough to cure your injury, right?” Mengmeng said.

“It seems that three pills are enough.” Heavenly Hound said subconsciously, “That’s too much. How can I accept that?”

As he spoke, he took the pellets over.

When he heard what Mengmeng said next, he was immediately stunned.

“Well, take them all. The ones are for your medical expenses.”
