Chapter 1108

The medallion was in his hand.

He had obtained it just like that.

Holding the medallion, the middle-aged demon felt like he was dreaming, unable to believe what he was seeing.

This was a black medallion, a medallion that controlled the entire hall and castle, and one that Zi Chen had risked his life to obtain. From everyone's expressions just now, one could see how precious this hall was. Even Zi Chen valued it greatly.

And just now, when Her Highness had asked for it, Zi Chen had directly refused, as if calling Her Highness an idiot. But with just one sentence from Zhang Haotian, Zi Chen had given it to her.

The middle-aged demon felt his mind in a mess.

Wasn't Zhang Haotian Zi Chen's subordinate? Why would Zi Chen give away such a precious item with just one sentence from his subordinate?

He didn't understand, so he naturally didn't understand.

But the medallion was in his hand. Even if the other side was playing tricks, it was already too late. He subconsciously tightened his grip on the medallion, then carefully handed it to the Princess.

Compared to Zi Chen's magnanimity, this Earth Origin Realm middle-aged demon was much more stingy. But no one laughed at him, because if they were in his shoes, they might not have done any better.

These people also didn't dare to believe it. They didn't understand why Zi Chen would give such a precious item to the Demon Princess just because of one sentence from Zhang Haotian.

Didn't Zi Chen know that giving this item to the Demon Race would strengthen the Demon Race?

Didn't Zi Chen know that giving this item to the Demon Race would strengthen the Demon Race and kill many humans in the future?

Zi Chen really didn't know, because he didn't even think about it, so he naturally didn't care.

They stared blankly at Zi Chen, and the expression on their faces became very strange.

The Princess took the medallion. Although her calm expression didn't change, her heart was already in turmoil. She naturally knew how precious the medallion was, and at the same time, she was prepared to use any means to obtain it.

Jesting, threatening with promises, threatening with the Demon Race, and when necessary, she could even make some sacrifices. Of course, these sacrifices were limited to the Demon Race giving up some benefits, such as Brilliant Demon Crystals.

Even though she was standing there without moving, she had already thought of many things and made several preparations. It could be said that she was using all of her strength.

However, the feeling of her full strength hitting the air in the next moment made her feel uncomfortable, but at the same time, she breathed a sigh of relief. After all, Zi Chen was the strongest person here. It was indeed extraordinary to be able to snatch a piece of fatty meat from him.

"Let's go."

Handing over the token, Zi Chen signaled Su Mengyao and the others to leave, wanting to give Zhang Haotian some time.

However, as soon as they left, Zhang Haotian followed them. A hint of doubt appeared in Zi Chen's eyes, but he did not ask any questions.

Zi Chen and the others left and entered the second level.

In the blink of an eye, the master of the hall had changed from Zi Chen to a demon. There was no point for the others to stay, so they all left.

Only the Princess and the middle-aged Demon were left in the hall.

The middle-aged Demon said excitedly, "Congratulations, Your Highness, for obtaining a great treasure."

The Princess nodded. For some reason, she, who should have been excited and happy, could not feel happy at this moment. Looking at the situation just now, Zi Chen obviously did not know why he had given the token, but Zhang Haotian had given it to him.

What was this?

Trust? Was it really trust? However, Zhang Haotian was just a subordinate. Why should she trust a subordinate?

The Princess could not understand. She did not even trust her siblings, so why should she trust a subordinate?

Not to mention her brothers and sisters, even if her father was here and suddenly asked her for this token, she would probably hesitate.

Subordinate? If Zi Chen heard this, he would probably laugh. If Zhang Haotian and the others heard this, they would probably laugh as well.

Since she could not understand, she stopped thinking about it. Many demons were still waiting outside. Just now, the demons had already surrounded this place.

She used her spiritual sense to activate the token, and the hall shrunk until it was put away.

The second level was not much different from the first level. There were many Heavenly Beasts here, so it was easier for Zi Chen and the others to kill them.

And without the large factions here, there were far fewer people trying to steal from them.

As they walked, Zi Chen's desire for gossip continued to burn. When they reached the second level, he could not help but ask, "When did the two of you begin?"

Zhang Haotian glanced at Zi Chen suspiciously.

"That shouldn't be the case. This is the first time you've met, and you haven't had much time to interact before," Zi Chen muttered. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. "Could it be love at first sight?"

It turned out that Zi Chen had thought that the two of them were having an affair.

So that was why Zi Chen had taken the initiative to hand over the token. When Zhang Haotian heard this, he couldn't help but feel moved. However, Zi Chen had obviously misunderstood. He smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not stupid. Even if it was love at first sight, I could have just given you something else. Why would I give you that ancient castle? That thing is as important to the Boundless Sect as the Heavenly Scripture. I know what's right and wrong."

"Then why?" Zi Chen did not understand.

"Because of you." Zhang Haotian stared at Zi Chen. The others did not say anything.

"Me." Zi Chen quickly realized what was going on. "Because you wanted to save me, you made a deal with me."

Zhang Haotian nodded and then explained their deal. At the time, the situation was urgent, and Zi Chen's life was in danger. Zhang Haotian had no time to think about it.

When Zi Chen heard this, he said, "As expected of the Princess. She's quite intelligent and knows how to raise the price. If you run into her in the future, you need to be careful."

"You're not angry?" Zhang Haotian asked.

Zi Chen chuckled. "What's the point of being angry? Am I supposed to steal it back?"

"But it's a pity that the ancient castle is gone. If I had known earlier, I would have taken those weapons first. That way, I wouldn't have come out empty-handed," Zi Chen sighed.

"The weapons are with me," the Demonic Ape suddenly said.

Zi Chen turned around and glanced at the Demonic Ape.

"After the token recognized me as its master and the pressure disappeared, I immediately took those weapons. I was so angry that I forgot about it."

As he spoke, the Demonic Ape took out the six black weapons from before and stabbed them into the ground in front of him.

Zi Chen looked at the Sky Piercer and felt extremely satisfied. He then grabbed it in his hand. The weight of the Sky Piercer was out of Zi Chen's expectations. As Zi Chen picked up the Sky Piercer, he felt an indescribable power coming from the Sky Piercer. This power entered his body and went straight to Abdomen. Then, it began to suppress Abdomen's elemental energy.

Just as Zi Chen picked up the Sky Piercer, the Demonic Ape also picked up the black staff. His expression changed when he felt the strange power in it.

Immediately after, Zhang Haotian picked up the black sword and felt a strange feeling coming from it.

The three of them looked at each other and their expressions became extremely strange. After a while, Zi Chen said, "Not bad, it's very convenient."

The Demonic Ape said, "It's very convenient. It's good for elemental energy if you keep holding it."

Zhang Haotian asked, "You can keep holding it?"

Zi Chen said generously, "Of course, let's split it."

Zi Chen took the Sky Piercer, Zhang Haotian took the sword, and the Demonic Ape took the staff. Three out of the six items were gone, leaving only the saber, ax, and hammer.

However, there was no one to choose from these three items. Lv Peng was an array player, and Su Mengyao wouldn't choose this. Longhu didn't know how to use it at all, so these three items were empty.

"Me, me too. I'm better at using axes and hammers. I also know more than ten powerful saber techniques." A voice sounded from afar as a golden beam flew over.

Seeing the golden beam fly over, Zi Chen and the Demonic Ape looked at each other and attacked tacitly. He took the saber and the Demonic Ape took the hammer, leaving only the black axe.

"Aren't you being too unloyal? You can't use it, so why don't you give it to me?" The Perfect Body appeared and took the axe without standing on ceremony.

When the axe entered his hand, it was extremely heavy. Then, it suppressed his essence energy, causing his expression to change. Then, he seemed to recall something as he nodded and sighed in admiration.

"Yes, as expected of an Ancient Armament. It's indeed good stuff. It's not a Soul Spirit Armament, but it's better than a Soul Spirit Armament." The Perfect Body waved his wrist in satisfaction as the axe sliced through the air, emitting a whistling sound.

Previously, he had only thought that this item could suppress and strengthen his essence energy, but he had forgotten to sense if it was a Soul Spirit Armament. Now, after sensing that there was no soul in it, Zi Chen asked, "Ancient Armament. You're saying that this is an Ancient Armament?"

Many years ago, Zi Chen had come into contact with Ancient Armaments and knew of their existence. However, the Ancient Armaments he had come into contact with back then were worlds apart from the one in his hand.

"It's much stronger than a Mortal-level Armament and also stronger than a Soul Spirit Armament. However, there's no soul in it. For such a situation to happen in this world, it can only be an Ancient Armament," the Perfect Body said confidently.

Ancient Armament literally meant a weapon refined by the Ancient race. However, this Ancient race didn't refer to the current Ancient race, but the original ancient race. It was the Ancient race ruled by the four royal races.

Although the current Ancient race wasn't weak, many of their skills had been lost. To be able to discover an Ancient Armament here, the Perfect Body was still very excited.

In the team, the Spirit Devouring Rats had long left to search for a relatively mysterious place in this area alone. As for Zi Chen and company, they began their boring monster-hunting mode.

When they saw Heavenly Beasts, they would step forward to kill them, dig out their inner cores, and leave.

This meaningless cycle continued because they were waiting, waiting for the Spirit Devouring Rats to discover something again.

No one would be willing to lose the ancient castle they had obtained. Although Zi Chen had given it away in a carefree manner and didn't care about it, losing it still pained him.

Apart from Zi Chen and company, the other factions were also searching for strange places in this area. Some people even stopped killing Heavenly Beasts and specially searched for the so-called fake passageway.

This was because after finding the passageway and taking 44 steps corresponding to the passageway, an impressive ancient castle hall would appear.

Along the way, Zi Chen and company kept holding black weapons in their hands. These weapons had a suppressive effect on essence energy. Although the effect wasn't as good as the hall, the most important thing was that they could always be held in their hands.

Furthermore, the black weapons were very heavy and extremely extraordinary. They could be used as weapons.

"It's been five days, but the Spirit Devouring Rats still haven't sent out a signal. Don't tell me there's no hall on this level."

After five days of no news, everyone appeared somewhat anxious. Although they had already obtained quite a number of Heavenly Beast inner cores, no matter how valuable these things were, they weren't even a tenth of the hall. Therefore, everyone was still thinking of the hall with extraordinary effects.

"This world is so big. It's impossible to finish exploring it in five days. Let's wait," said Zi Chen.

After the Perfect Body took the black axe, he didn't stay any longer and left. Only Zi Chen and company waited.

Five days passed, but the Spirit Devouring Rats found nothing. Apart from that, the other factions didn't discover anything either.

Thousands of people scattered, but they didn't discover anything. They didn't even find an exit.

This couldn't be a sealed world. There had to be an exit, but no one could find it. During this period, Lv Peng tried to break through and build a teleportation array, but it was useless.

On the twentieth day of their arrival in this world, just as everyone was about to despair, Zi Chen finally received a voice transmission from the Spirit Devouring Rats.
