I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

Chapter 362 I've Contracted This Mountain Top

"Hey, this northern half of the mountain is a public place, why can't I go up?" Zhang Menglong said displeasedly.

"This isn't a place you should be coming to, nor is it a question you should be asking!" The leader still spoke with an icy tone.

"You don't recognize me?" Zhang Menglong was somewhat surprised. It wasn't that he was vain, but by all logic, there shouldn't be many people in Huaxia, or even the whole world, who didn't know him. Yet, this young man seemed to have never seen him before.

"I don't care who you are, leave immediately. This is your last warning!"

"Wow, so arrogant?"

"Mr. Zhang," Ye Yin's voice suddenly rang out, "this Ancient Martial Arts Family holds a very special status in society. They generally live in secluded places rarely visited by others, and aside from those members who gather wealth for their families, they seldom interact with the outside world. If you want to go up this mountain, it might not be easy."

"Did they buy this mountain?" Zhang Menglong communicated with Ye Yin telepathically.

"This..." Ye Yin hesitated, and then said, "Mr. Zhang, these Ancient Martial Arts Families, although unlike Longxia, are not directly controlled by the state, they have aided the country in resolving many invasions by second-world humans, so they have certain special rights. As long as it's an uninhabited place, they can freely settle there and have absolute autonomy within a certain area."

"So, this place isn't bought by them, right?"

Ye Yin couldn't help but roll her eyes. She had been trying to explain just how special the Ancient Martial Arts Families were, but Zhang Menglong's attention was entirely on whether they bought the mountain.

"Since they didn't buy this place, why can't I go up there?"

"Sir, their autonomy is extensive; they could even kill people outright until these acts were curbed in recent decades. If a common person tries to forcefully enter the territory of an Ancient Martial Arts Family, it absolutely won't end well."

"What if I must go up there?"

"Then we will fight our way up!" Ye Yin replied, "Mr. Zhang, are you here for that girl?"

"No kidding, or else am I here to race cars?" Zhang Menglong retorted.

"I have already checked the details of this girl for you, Mr. Zhang. Miss Hong Yi has already responded to me."

"Oh? Tell me about it?" Zhang Menglong only knew her name was Chen Bingyu and that her Potential Index had reached 11 points. The rest was rather meaningless information.

"This Chen Bingyu is the most outstanding person of this generation in the Chen Family. You may not know, practicing ancient martial arts is different from having supernatural abilities. Those with supernatural abilities are strongest in their middle age. As they age, their bodily functions decline, and most supernatural abilities weaken."

"But Ancient Martial Artists grow stronger the more they practice. However, their growth rate is very slow. Generally, if a family fully supports a member, it's quite an achievement to become a Level One Ancient Martial Artist by age 20. Chen Bingyu, however, became a Level Two Martial Artist at 18 and this year at 21, she already has a chance to challenge becoming a Level Three Martial Artist."

"Oh, so what?"

"Is... is he not afraid at all?"

"Is he an idiot?"

...

"Kid, whether you are genuinely dumb or just pretending, this is Chen Family's place. You better leave here quickly, or else the next palm strike will be on you!"

"Oh, sorry, I have leased this mountain now," Zhang Menglong said, "In other words, this place is now mine, I am the master here, you can all leave!"

"What did you say?" The men were stunned.

"What? Don't believe it?" Zhang Menglong walked forward, throwing a stack of documents into their hands, "I have already spent 12 million to buy the development rights for this piece of land, now I want to go up and have a look, any objections?"

The young man flipped through the documents, which were clearly development contracts from the Jiangnan City Land Bureau, selling the development rights for the northern half of the mountain at 12 million for three years, directly to the young man in front of them!

"You better leave quickly, or I'll call the police! You are trespassing on private property!" Zhang Menglong swaggered towards the mountain.

"What do we do?"

"What do we do? We are an Ancient Martial Arts Family, we have privileges. Even if he has bought the place, as long as our Chen Family doesn't agree, even the documents from the Land Bureau cannot bind us!"

"Then him..."

"Break his legs and throw him out!"

"Stop right there!" the leading youth shouted to Zhang Menglong.

"What else is there?" Zhang Menglong turned around.

"You still can't go up! If you don't leave, don't blame us for getting rough!"

"Oh? Ready to get rough?" Zhang Menglong sneered, "I am a reasonable person, which is why I didn't just rush up. Now that I've leased this mountain, and you still won't let me go up? I talk reason with you, and you act like hooligans to me?"

"Stop wasting words with him, I think he's just some clan's pawn sent here to deliberately cause trouble!"

"Go!"

"Boom!" Zhang Menglong channeled his full inner strength and stamped down, the powerful force instantly cracked the road surface, and a network of fine cracks spread out like a spider web.

Zhang Menglong extended his right hand, crooked his index and middle finger, "Come at me!"
