Chapter 2055: The Peng Family Divine Statue

What on earth is going on?

He Pingsheng stared at Seeing Qiao Huizhu.

Seeing Qiao Huizhu said: "Junior brother, don't rush, it's not as serious as you think..."

"Have some tea!"

"But I'll say this first—after you hear it, you must not get angry!"

"Right now you haven't broken through to the God Monarch Realm, so we're still no match for the Peng family!"

He Pingsheng nodded: "Don't worry, senior sister. My greatest strength is knowing how to bide my time!"

"Hehehe..." Seeing Qiao Huizhu smiled, relieved.

"Exactly!" Seeing Qiao Huizhu continued: "Isn't our family a four-star clan?"

"Now on Mount Fuyu, we're the only four-star clan!"

"But there's still a five-star clan above us..."

"No way!" He Pingsheng jumped up immediately: "When I bought the clan from the Lord Mayor's mansion, they clearly said we were a gold-star clan, and all gold-star clans are uniformly managed by the Lord Mayor's mansion, not subject to interference from higher clans!"

"No..." Seeing Qiao Huizhu shook her head: "It's not that simple!"

"They deliberately didn't make it clear to you back then!"

"Indeed, gold-star clans aren't exploited by higher clans, but the problem is, if there's a five-star clan that's also a gold-star clan, then we'd fall under their jurisdiction!"

"Damn..." He Pingsheng couldn't help but curse.

Really a dog!

This dog-thing of a Lord Mayor's mansion, speaking only half the truth.

In the end, I'm still being pressed down by a higher clan.

"Alright... go on!" He Pingsheng picked up his teacup, took a sip, and the resentment in his heart was temporarily suppressed.

"Not far from our Mount Fuyu lies a larger mountain called 【Demonic Heaven Mountain】, and on that mountain is a five-star gold-star clan—the Peng family!"

"At first, indeed, no clan managed us!"

"We were also directly administered by the Lord Mayor's mansion!"

"But later, for some unknown reason, the Peng family suddenly applied to become a five-star gold-star clan, and then our He family was placed under their management!"

"Is that so?" He Pingsheng took a sip of tea and asked: "Won't they be like the Zhongxing family, forcing us to pay annual tribute?"

"Tribute is normal!" Seeing Qiao Huizhu said: "The amount collected each year has a certain standard, and it's not much!"

"We've always paid according to the rules!"

"The problem is, the Peng family has made an outrageous demand!"

"Back then, the Peng family brought over a divine statue, saying they wanted to place it in our He family's Hall of Divine Statues!"

"That way, they could absorb our He family's faith power to boost their own cultivation!"

"At that time, our He family's faith power was indeed abundant, and Su Zhenzhen gathered the family elders to discuss it. Since we couldn't afford to offend them, we could only agree!"

"Thus, the Peng family's grand elder's divine statue took residence in our He family's Hall of Divine Statues!"

"Overall, the impact on our He family hasn't been that great!" Seeing Qiao Huizhu continued: "After all, our He family's divine power and faith power are sufficient!"

"So, after years of cultivation, Sister Su first broke through to the God Venerable Realm!"

"Then there's Bing Yao... Bing Yao this girl is also quite determined—she knows she can't beat others, so she cultivates desperately!"

"And just a few days ago, she also entered the God Venerable Realm!"

"This way, our He family now has three God Venerables!"

He Pingsheng silently counted in his heart: three!

Su Zhenzhen, Bing Yao, and Bai Yi.

Saying this, Seeing Qiao Huizhu took a sip of water, then her face flushed with anger as she said: "Damn the Peng family, getting more and more outrageous. Knowing our He family's faith power is abundant, after producing two God Venerables in one breath, yesterday they sent people again, forcibly stuffing two more divine statues in!"

"To enter our He family's Hall of Faith!"

"This way, our He family's faith power won't be enough!"

"Sigh..." Wen Nulan sighed deeply, saying: "Don't worry... everything is temporary... Brother has already reached the tenth layer of the God Spirit Realm, so he's not far from the God Monarch Realm!"

"Once Brother breaks through to the God Monarch Realm, he'll naturally settle accounts with them!"

In Wen Nulan's understanding, He Pingsheng can always defeat opponents of a higher realm.

He Pingsheng smiled: "It's fine... even if I haven't reached the God Monarch Realm, I'm not someone the Peng family can bully!"

"By the way, what strength does the Peng family have? What cultivation levels do their people have?"

Wen Nulan said: "I've heard that the highest cultivator in the Peng family is a tenth-layer God Venerable expert, plus over twenty other God Venerable elders!"

"I'm not sure of the exact numbers—I heard this from Sister Su!"

"Sister Su should have the complete data!"

"Alright!" He Pingsheng set down his teacup: "Take me to find Su Zhenzhen!"

"No... I'll wait here for her, and let Su Zhenzhen come see me!"

After saying that, He Pingsheng directly returned to his own training ground.

Seeing Qiao Huizhu went to fetch Su Zhenzhen, while Wen Nulan stayed behind, accompanying He Pingsheng.

"Your cultivation speed is impressive!" He Pingsheng looked at Wen Nulan and asked: "You're already at the eighth layer... have you tempered your Dao laws?"

"No!" Wen Nulan replied directly: "Comprehending the Dao is too hard. By rights, one should progress step by step, cultivate to the tenth layer, and then break through the ninth-layer Dao miasma!"

"But I was lazy, and broke through the seventh layer!"

"From the eighth layer onward, I got lazy about comprehending the Dao, directly swallowing pills and using divine power to blast through the flesh barrier!"

In the God Spirit Realm, you don't need to break the Dao barrier!

Just break the flesh barrier, and you can increase your cultivation.

After speaking, Wen Buwan still wore a hint of guilt. "Sorry, Brother... I slacked off. Did I waste a Nine-Aperture Exquisite?"

"Not a waste!" He Pingsheng said. "So-called cultivation just depends on whether your Dao heart is thorough. Cultivate however you want; you'll always attain great freedom. Heh heh heh..."

"I still have some Primordial Purple Qi here. I'll give you some later to help you forge a Primordial Dao Body!"

"When the time comes, the Dao Body can automatically attract Dao methods!"

Just as they were speaking, Su Zhenzhen and Seeing Qiao Huizhu also arrived.

The grand array closed, and the hall doors shut.

The four sat around opposite sides of a small table.

He Pingsheng asked, "How exactly are the Peng family's affairs? What is their family's strength?"

"I have materials here!" Su Zhenzhen took out a jade slip and handed it to He Pingsheng across the small table. "These years I've had people investigate the Peng family's situation. The Peng family has a total of twenty-seven God Venerable Realm elders. All the data is on it!"

"The highest is a God Venerable Realm eleventh-layer Grand Elder!"

"Ah?" He Pingsheng was stunned. "Didn't you just say tenth layer?"

"He grew another layer!" Su Zhenzhen's eyes narrowed slightly. "This person is named Peng Dahui. From the very beginning, it was he who placed a divine statue in our He family. If not for the He family's power of faith, he probably wouldn't have entered God Venerable Realm eleventh layer so quickly!"

He Pingsheng sneered. "Good fellow. Put that way, the Peng family's Grand Elder still basked in our He family's glory!"
