"Long live!"
"Long live the lair!"
"Long live the Lair Reconstruction Committee!"
As Meng Chao and Xiong Wei hugged each other passionately, loud cheers rose in the hall.
Of course, most of the people who shouted "long live" were from Golden Tooth.
They knew that after Saber Jin Wanhao died, if Golden Tooth still wanted to keep its position as the strongest gang in the lair and its interests, they had to do everything they could to make the Lair Reconstruction Committee be formed and control it firmly, which was why they did their best to promote it.
Instead, it gave off a sense of unity and unity, and a new atmosphere.
As for Meng Chao, when he returned to the back of the hall and drew the curtains, his legs turned weak, and he fell forward. He fell into Lu Siya's arms, who quickly went forward to support him.
"No way. You're drained again?"
Lu Siya could not help but ask. "Your bones are too weak, aren't they?"
Meng Chao could only smile wryly in the face of his good friend's teasing.
Celestial Tyrant's Star Shattering Slash was the Underground Emperor's secret technique. There was no way A 'Ji would be able to teach him clearly in a hurry.
Even if Meng Chao put all the contribution points that surged into his brain into increasing the Skillfulness of Celestial Tyrant's Star Shattering Slash, he could only simulate a small part of it.
And to make that small part of it look as cool as possible, Meng Chao did not hesitate to use Divine Nine Dragon Seals to activate Hell's Blood. His vitality magnetic field went into overdrive, and his body, which had just been repaired and was covered in patches, was pushed to the limit again.
He had achieved the effect of "suppressing the entire field", but his body had been emptied once again!
Fortunately, Meng Chao was already used to this feeling of his body being drained.
Besides, aside from Lu Siya, there was also the young divine doctor, Su Mulian, waiting for him backstage.
"Ms. Mulian …"
When he saw her, Meng Chao sighed in relief and smiled from the bottom of his heart. "I didn't let you down!"
Including Leprosy Village's Wild Wolves, it would be too much of an exaggeration to say that all the gangs were bad people. No matter what, they all had their own goals and interests.
When Meng Chao was with the gang leaders, all his brain cells had to work at full capacity to repeatedly make deductions and fuss over every detail. He had to calculate dozens or even hundreds of moves as if he was playing chess. It was really tiring.
Only Su Mulian's goal was very pure. Just like him, she only wanted to save as many lair citizens as possible.
If it weren't for Su Mulian's unreserved trust in him and her vow in front of Wild Wolf, Wild Wolf wouldn't have believed him so easily.
Then, even if his tongue was thirty inches long and his fists were bigger than earthenware pots, it would be impossible for him to stop the conflict between Leprosy Village and the gangs. He would not be able to solve the Vortex's scheme and obtain Jin Wanhao's legacy either.
Until now, Meng Chao still did not understand why Su Mulian had shown uncontrollable fear when she saw him for the first time, but still believed that he could save the lair.
However, this did not stop Meng Chao from showing the most sincere and unguarded smile to Su Mulian.
This smile made Su Mulian's eyes shrink again.
It was like the grin of a little white rabbit when it saw the big bad wolf.
The strange reaction even stunned Lu Siya a little. She narrowed her eyes and sized up the girl who looked like a lotus in the mountains. She had an unadorned face.
Fortunately, Su Mulian quickly came back to her senses and quickly walked forward to help Lu Siya support Meng Chao.
"Are you injured?" she asked with a complicated expression.
"I'm just a little injured, and I'm a little exhausted. I also drank dozens of gene medicine in one go," Meng Chao said with a smile.
"Since you're here, Ms. Mulian, help me recuperate. I should be fine now."
It was a small problem for him to overdraw his spirit energy and overdrive his vitality magnetic field to deliver Divine Nine Dragon Seals and Celestial Tyrant's Star Shattering Slash.
Meng Chao asked Lu Siya to help him trigger the resonance between the Red Radiance Jades and Blue Origin Crystals so that he could slowly recover.
But the high density of Hell's Blood was a huge problem.
A 'Ji told Meng Chao that he was prepared to spend an entire year digesting and absorbing the surging spirit energy contained in the seven vials of Hell's Blood. During that time, he would need to use hundreds of precious materials to make the medicine completely dissolve so that the cells around him could safely and stably absorb it.
Meng Chao had devoured more than half of the Hell's Blood in one go, and the Vortex, which had devoured one-third of the Hell's Blood, had also sent a terrifying amount of spirit energy into Meng Chao's body.
In A 'Ji's opinion, Meng Chao should have burned up or even exploded on the spot, so how could he still be alive and kicking? It was an unsolved mystery in life science.
Meng Chao knew that this was all thanks to Kindling and his contribution points.
But no matter how strong Kindling was, there was a limit to it. At most, it could turn the contribution points into golden energy that temporarily enveloped 90% of the Hell's Blood and made it accumulate in Meng Chao's limbs and organs.
If he did not think of a way to digest and absorb this terrifying power, this ticking time bomb made of more than one hundred Hell Beasts' blood would still explode Meng Chao to bits.
Su Mulian might not be able to solve Meng Chao's problem once and for all.
But she had amazing healing abilities, so at the very least, she could calm down the overly chaotic power in Meng Chao's body and buy more time for him.
Su Mulian had no reason to reject Meng Chao's request.
As the new gang leader of Golden Tooth, she naturally had a treatment room in the headquarters with luxurious decorations, complete facilities, and all sorts of precious materials and gene medicine.
She waited for Meng Chao to immerse himself in the milky-white medicine before she left.
Before she left, she cast a deep glance at Su Mulian.
She seemed to have sensed that something was off and did not want to let the mysterious girl from Leprosy Village take care of Meng Chao.
After all, Leprosy Village already had a mysterious boy named A 'Ji.
But there was nothing she could do about it. Even though they had reached a preliminary agreement with the gangs in the hall, Meng Chao and the others had only launched a surprise attack by using their advantage of asymmetrical information.
When the leaders of the various gangs came back to their senses, would they have other thoughts?
Even if they agreed to form the Lair Reconstruction Committee, how should they make the cake bigger? How should they distribute it? Who would distribute it?
There were a myriad of problems, all of which were problems.
This was not Meng Chao's area of expertise.
But Lu Siya, the Queen Bee, was good at this and never got tired of it.
With her cleaning up the mess, Meng Chao could relax and enjoy Su Mulian's treatment in a relaxed manner. He also listened to her talk about the situation in Leprosy Village.
Leprosy Village had suffered major losses in the Vortex's ambush. Rough estimates showed that more than one thousand people had died, and countless people had gone missing.
Fortunately, due to Meng Chao's hard push, the gangs finally managed to open up an escape tunnel at the last moment. They also opened up a "safe zone" around Leprosy Village so that the villagers could come out and seek shelter. They also provided them with the necessary food, medicine, and disaster relief resources.
To prevent the fire in Leprosy Village from spreading to the entire lair, no matter how unwilling the gangs were, they had to provide manpower and help the villagers put out the fire.
This was just like the old saying.
No one was an isolated island. People were always connected to each other in all sorts of unexpected ways.
Su Mulian told Meng Chao that the open fire in Leprosy Village had been extinguished, and the dangerous areas where the dark fire might spread were separated by fireproof belts. The old, weak, sick, disabled, and lightly injured were all sent to the safe zone and received timely treatment.
Because of it, even though the villagers could not help but be worried, their fear was contained. Everyone was willing to believe in Meng Chao's promise that the outside world would definitely not abandon them.
In any case, even though they suffered major losses, it was much better than they expected. Most of the villagers managed to keep their lives, and it was all thanks to Meng Chao.
"Mr. Meng, all the villagers asked me to express our sincerest gratitude to you," Su Mulian said and bowed deeply to Meng Chao.
At the same time, she used her long hair to cover her expression and said, "No matter … what happens in the future, Leprosy Village and I will remember your kindness of saving our lives this time. We will do our best to repay you!"
"W-You don't have to be so polite, right?"
She was so serious that it made Meng Chao feel a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, "I just did what I should have done. Besides, I couldn't have done anything alone. Everyone had to work together to save Leprosy Village and the lair.
"Ms. Mulian, if you hadn't trusted me without any reservations and helped me convince Wild Wolf, A 'Ji leading the way, Phantom Bear Xiong Wei, the gang leaders who were calm enough, and Lu Siya's awesome performance, forget about saving Leprosy Village, even my ashes might have been blown away by the wind!
"So, you really don't have to go overboard by saying that you'll do your best to repay us. If you really want to repay us, please work with us to set up the Lair Reconstruction Committee. We'll make the lair's tomorrow ten times better than today. That'll be enough!"
"Leprosy Village will definitely support the Lair Reconstruction Committee and you and Ms. Lu Siya."
Su Mulian stared at Meng Chao for a long time. She saw that his expression did not seem fake. He seemed to have made some sort of decision and made a solemn promise.
Then, she heaved a long sigh of relief and relaxed.
She paused for a moment and seemed to have thought of something. "Oh no, I should have expressed my gratitude to Ms. Lu in person just now. In the battle of the lair, aside from Mr. Meng, Ms. Lu contributed the most. If it weren't for your love being as strong as gold and your unswerving loyalty to each other, the lair might have been destroyed!"
This sentence made Meng Chao choke on the medical medicine.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough. Ms. Mulian, you seem to have misunderstood."
Meng Chao choked until his face turned red. "Big Sis Ya and I don't have a relationship that is as strong as gold and unswerving loyalty to each other as we die."
"Huh?"
Su Mulian widened her eyes and blurted out, "Why haven't you … I mean, aren't you a couple?"
"No." Meng Chao shrugged.
Meng Chao shrugged. "We're business partners, fellow cultivators, and comrades who fought side by side in a bloody expedition. That's all."
