In an instant, his heart ruptured, his dragon bones shattered, and Zhao Xuzhen died, his eyes wide open in death.

His body fell into the lake with a splash.

The dragon's corpse had vanished without a trace.

Lu Mingfei sat back on his horse, not even bothering to glance at the spot where Zhao Xuzhen had fallen into the water. He rode his pony across the river and back to the ship.

At this moment, everyone seemed to wake up from a dream.

Sleipnir strolled up to Zhou Minhao, who subconsciously looked up and saw the boy on horseback calmly say, "It's over."

Zhou Minhao remained silent.

What did they miss?

Chapter 140 The King of Bronze and Fire, absolutely awesome!

After Zhao Xuzhen's death, the bodyguards he hired scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing in all directions, staging a scene of crossing Yangcheng Lake.

The chaotic guests, the Yangcheng Lake stained with dragon blood, the reunited couple Bai Shanglu and Jiang Wanzhi... none of this mattered to Lu Mingfei. He was a minotaur hunter and the Zhou family's newly promoted ace enforcer, only responsible for taking care of Zhao Xuzhen.

Zhou Minhao was responsible for handling the remaining matters.

Three days later, at the Jiang family's detached villa.

Bai Shanglu prepared a feast and specially invited Lu Mingfei to thank him for defeating Huang Mao and enabling him and Jiang Wanzhi to be together.

Lu Mingfei accepted it readily. If Bai Shanglu and Jiang Wanzhi were to remarry and hold another wedding, he wouldn't be there, and the dishes wouldn't even be served.

Zhou Minhao was also on the invitation list.

Zhou Minhao initially wanted to decline by saying he was too busy with work, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized he had some things to explain to Bai Shanglu and Jiang Wanzhi, so he came along.

In the living room, Old Man Jiang, Lu Mingfei, Zhou Minhao, Jiang Wanzhi, and Bai Shanglu sat around a round dining table.

Old Man Jiang took out his treasured bottle of strong liquor, insisting on toasting Lu Mingfei with it.

I dare not refuse the gift from the elder, even if the wine offered is flammable.

Since the body's metabolic function is so strong, the liver is saying: "Get a bigger one!"

Lu Mingfei downed the drink in one gulp. The fiery liquor stung his throat and burned his stomach.

"This wine has power!" Lu Mingfei exclaimed.

Old Man Jiang laughed and said, "It's Yangcheng Distilled liquor that's been aged for forty years. I brewed it myself and sealed it up when I was making a living from the aquatic products of Yangcheng Lake. Now, a jar of it is worth a fortune."

If you like it, young friend, I'll give you another jar.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanzhi chuckled and said, "Dad, you're being very generous today. We usually can't even get a sip, and you've given us a whole jar."

Old Man Jiang glared at Jiang Wanzhi: "This is your and Shang Lu's benefactor. I would be willing to give up even ten jars, let alone one!"

There's only one jar left.

Upon hearing this, Lu Mingfei quickly declined, saying that Old Man Jiang should enjoy the wine himself.

He's a high school student who doesn't smoke or drink.

Old Man Jiang sighed, "If I had another daughter, I would have betrothed her to you."

Even if there were, Lu Mingfei would never dare to accept it, because his cat Mi would hiss.

Lu Mingfei remained silent.

Seeing that Lu Mingfei was in a difficult position and was a gentleman, Zhou Minhao changed the subject, saying, "Old Man Jiang, you and Wanzhi may have to come with me in a few days."

Old Man Jiang asked in confusion, "Where are you going? Are you afraid of retaliation from that Solomon Temple Society? Is Kunshan no longer a safe place?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanzhi and Bai Shanglu also became nervous.

Kunshan is their hometown; their relatives, friends, and businesses are all located here.

But if it really comes to that, I will still leave.

He went into hiding, living in exile.

Zhou Minhao observed the expressions of Old Man Jiang, Jiang Wanzhi, and the others, and smiled slightly, saying, "Don't worry, I'm not asking you to leave your hometown."

"Old Man Jiang, have you ever heard of the name Jiang Changqing?"

Old Man Jiang frowned, pondered for a moment, and then shook his head.

“According to seniority, Jiang Changqing is the son of the eldest son of your grandfather’s cousin,” Zhou Minhao said. “I’m getting to the point: Jiang Changqing is a legitimate member of the Jiang family. You and Wanzhi are descendants of the Jiang family who were separated from the family.”

"what do you mean……"

"This trip is to the Jiang family to acknowledge our ancestry. We do need to be wary of the Solomon Temple's retaliation, but with the Jiang family's notoriously protective nature, the Solomon Temple will have to weigh the costs before taking any action," Zhou Minhao said.

“The Jiang family also owns many businesses. We can cooperate with them and achieve mutual benefit,” Zhou Minhao added.

Old Man Jiang understood, smiled and said, "The best thing is for the whole family to be safe and sound. And I believe in my daughter's business acumen; she will definitely be able to make my business bigger and stronger."

As he spoke, Old Man Jiang looked at Bai Shanglu and said, "This kid does have some talent."

Bai Shanglu smiled wryly: "Dad, please don't tease me. All I know how to do is raise crabs."

"In short, you two will have to support each other from now on," Old Man Jiang said with satisfaction.

"Dad, what you're saying sounds like you're setting a flag for the future." Bai Shanglu couldn't help but complain.

Jiang Wanzhi pinched Bai Shanglu's thigh under the table with her small hand, making Bai Shanglu's expression turn as if he had eaten a lemon.

Old Man Jiang laughed heartily: "What I mean is, you guys take care of the business, and I'll take care of the grandson. You have to try your best so that I can hold my grandson this year."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Wanzhi's ears turned red, and she glanced at Bai Shanglu.

Bai Shanglu saw this and ate a few more bites of the stir-fried eggs with chives.

Zhou Minhao figured he was the first person at the table to finish eating, having been fed up with all the PDA, which was a bit disheartening.

However, Zhou Minhao had already let go of it. If his inner demon was Jiang Wanzhi, the Grand Elder would allow him to break free from the Dragon-Severing Platform.

Lu Mingfei silently watched the drama unfold, recalling how Nuwa had mentioned the Jiang family when they played a game together.

The Jiang family, of the Jiang clan, can be traced back to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period, with their ancestor being Emperor Yan.

Emperor Yan Shennong is also associated with bronze and fire.

The orthodox schools of thought were mostly descended from the mixed blood of the four great monarchs.

It's not that there aren't any direct descendants of the Black King, it's just that there are very few of them.

When the world was first created from chaos, the Black King created the White King for some reason, and then they created the earliest dragons in various ways.

One-third of the White King's rebellion was annihilated, and the remaining two-thirds were also lost in the wars between the four monarchs.

Now, if you encounter a hybrid or dragon, their ancestors are basically from the lineage of the four great monarchs.

As for the White King?

Even rarer than the Black King's bloodline.

After all, how could the Black King allow the descendants of his "betrayed lover" to remain in the world?

Nuwa told Lu Mingfei that the reason why the Solomon Temple was so obsessed with Jiang Wanzhi was probably because they wanted to use her to explore the secrets of the Jiang family.

As for what the secret is?

The details about Nuwa are unclear, but it is certain that she has a strong connection with the King of Bronze and Fire.

The King of Bronze and Fire.

What a mysterious and prestigious title this is.

Bronze is used for forging artifacts, and fire is used to temper iron. The King of Bronze and Fire is hailed as the absolute number one alchemist king after the Black King.

Many of the miracles in history were performed by him.

Nuwa told Lu Mingfei that the Temple of Solomon was probably also connected with the King of Bronze and Fire.

Because one of the identities of the King of Bronze and Fire is that of the famous Solomon.

Medieval mysticism generally recognizes Solomon as the founder of human alchemy, and all casting, metal transformation, and fire rituals are based on his records.

The Testament of Solomon further records that Solomon sealed the seventy-two demonic pillars in a large brass cauldron and stored them underground in the Temple. The brass material was said to be able to suppress supernatural forces and bind spirits.

There are also legends that Solomon controlled monsters by sealing them, and tirelessly forged bronze components and transported giant building materials to complete metallurgical projects that were impossible for human beings.

The First Temple in Jerusalem was built under his rule.

After hearing Nuwa's description, Lu Mingfei was filled with longing and wanted to see the King of Bronze and Fire for himself.

Even as an opponent, one would want to get to know such a powerful and arrogant person.

Just as Lu Mingfei's thoughts were wandering, his phone rang. He opened it and saw that it was a message from Lao Tang.

Old Tang: Mingming! We're going to be rich! I've got a treasure map of an ancient site!

Chapter 141 Suspecting Lu Mingfei is the Dragon King

Treasure map?

Considering the nature of Old Tang's job as a bounty hunter, perhaps he really did get his hands on a treasure map.

After the meal, Lu Mingfei said goodbye to Jiang Wanzhi and the others, and went alone to the hotel to find Lao Tang to confirm the situation.

hotel.

Push the door open and enter.

Upon seeing Old Tang sitting cross-legged on the bed, engrossed in playing StarCraft on a laptop, Lu Mingfei realized that Old Tang was even more addicted to gaming than he was.

"Mingming, you're here? Sit down." Old Tang looked up and saw Lu Mingfei, then patted the bed next to him.

"Old Tang, what do you mean by treasure map?" Lu Mingfei found a chair and sat down.

"Well..." Old Tang had just finished a game, closed his laptop, and stroked his chin, saying, "It's strange, I had a dream during my lunch break."

"A dream? What kind of dream?" Lu Mingfei said half-jokingly, "Could it be that you've awakened memories of your past life?"

"Hard to say."

"Ok?"
