Chapter 1235

Not only were Hei Zi and the others dumbfounded by the scene before them, but the other cultivators in the town were also dumbfounded when they saw such a lineup.

More than twenty Corporeal Realm cultivators had actually surrounded an Earth Realm cultivator. Judging from the Corporeal Realm cultivators' expressions, they were clearly very serious.

"Let's see where you can run to this time." Tie Lu sneered as he stared at the surrounded Zi Chen.

The others also stared fiercely at Zi Chen.

Zi Chen raised his head and looked at Eto 'o in the air. Eto' o had been chasing him all this time, but this was the first time he had seen his true appearance.

He was a very ordinary person, but he had almost killed him several times. He was very strong.

Seeing Zi Chen's gaze turn towards him, Eto 'o laughed softly. "Little friend, you won't be able to escape this time."

Zi Chen didn't say anything. He looked at the other Corporeal Realm cultivators around him. Zi Chen knew more than half of them. Although he didn't know their names, he had known them for more than ten years. However, Zi Chen felt that some of them were very unfamiliar.

The crowd didn't immediately make a move, but the group of Corporeal Realm cultivators gathered together naturally formed an oppressive aura that couldn't be erased.

Zi Chen's forehead was already covered in sweat. This was caused by the immense pressure.

As for the other cultivators, they had long since noticed that the situation was not good. They ran into the distance and watched from afar.

There was no one around Zi Chen except for the Corporeal Realm cultivators. However, Zi Chen very keenly sensed that in another direction, Hei Zi and the others hadn't left yet.

The tiger-headed flying boat was still floating. The runes on the flying boat lit up and emitted an indescribable pressure. Faintly, the pressure on the flying boat seemed to be resisting the pressure of the Corporeal Realm cultivators.

Zi Chen's mind spun rapidly. He quickly wiped away the distracting thoughts in his mind and a smile appeared on his face. He deliberately ignored the group of Corporeal Realm cultivators and looked at Hei Zi in the distance and greeted him loudly. "Hey, Hei Zi, it's me, Zi Chen."

In the distance, Hei Zi's already slightly dark face darkened even more when he heard this. The corners of the other Corporeal Realm cultivators' mouths twitched. This kid was indeed bold. You wanted to ask for help, but you shouldn't have been so direct. You could have at least called him Brother Hei.

"It's you." However, regardless of how dark his complexion was, Blackie still chose to speak.

"It's me. Long time no see." Zi Chen smiled.

"It's been a few decades," Blackie said.

"That's right. We haven't seen each other in so many years, so it's only right that we greet each other today."

Zi Chen had an expression and attitude of 'you are my friend'. Then, he ignored the strange looks around him and swaggered forward.

Zi Chen chose to ignore these realms, but they obviously would not ignore him. Each of them stepped forward and blocked Zi Chen's path, staring coldly at Zi Chen.

Zi Chen stopped when he was three steps away from reality and said angrily, "What are you doing? Can't you see that I'm greeting my friends?"

With that, Zi Chen took two more steps forward, but Reality still had no intention of leaving.

At this moment, there was only a single step between them.

Reality remained silent, but the aura around him gradually grew stronger, indicating that he wanted to kill someone.

The others all sneered at Zi Chen, looking at him as if he was a clown. Everyone could see that Zi Chen was randomly making friends, but it was useless because they had never seen the city army help an outsider.

However, in the next moment, Blackie shouted loudly, causing everyone's mocking expressions to freeze.

"What are you doing? That's my friend."

This was Blackie's voice. It was a simple sentence, but it carried a lot of weight.

When Zi Chen heard this, a look of pleasant surprise immediately appeared on his face. He did not expect Blackie to be so loyal.

"Let my friend come over," Blackie said again.

However, these realms did not respond at all.

Blackie frowned slightly, and behind Blackie, the group of city army soldiers also began to release their auras.

The city army soldiers were all wearing high-quality armor and had gone through many rounds of screening during the selection process. Their combat strength was much stronger than the average realms.

At this moment, there were a total of twenty city army soldiers here. Even if there were more than twenty of them, they were not afraid, not to mention that there was a captain here.

Seeing that the other party did not respond, Blackie's face immediately darkened. He then walked over without another word.

The group of realms' expressions became more and more ugly. The city army had a strong background, and they did not want to and did not dare to have a conflict with them. However, they could not let Zi Chen go, so they appeared to be very conflicted and conflicted.

Only Eto 'o's expression did not change, and there was even a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth.

Blackie did not succeed in stepping forward and was stopped by someone. Of course, it was not their captain, but the mayor of Zhang Town.

"Blackie, what are you doing?" Zhang Chongming asked, his attitude somewhat indifferent.

Blackie glared and said, "What am I doing? What do you think I am doing? Zi Chen is my friend."

"This is Zhang Town," Zhang Chongming said.

"So what? Zhang Chongming, don't stop me, or I won't go easy on you." Blackie was not afraid of the other party at all.

Zi Chen was only at the Earth Prime level, but there were more than twenty Corporeal Realms surrounding him. Such a huge difference in strength had already made Hei Zi unhappy. Now, even Zhang Chongming had come to stop him. It was obvious that he was the one who had ordered this attack. Naturally, he was furious.

Of course, Blackie's anger was not related to justice. It was only because he was a little bit of a friend with Zi Chen. If one were to look deeper, perhaps they could not even be considered friends. The reason he was angry was because he was part of the city army, so he was happy and angry.

He wanted to interfere in this matter partly because he thought highly of Zi Chen, but mostly because he was happy.

Zhang Chongming ignored the furious Blackie and looked at the captain, who had not said anything, and said, "Brother Wang, this is my Zhang Town."

Captain Wang smiled faintly and said, "So what? This is Huping City, and we are the city army."

Zhang Chongming's expression changed as he said, "Brother Wang wants to interfere in this matter, but this is a small town after all. We have our own rules. Since Brother Wang is here, I'm afraid you have to follow the rules."

"We are guarding Huping City, and we are guarding the rules of Shuntian Prefecture."

The captain's voice was still calm, but the eyes of the Corporeal realm experts behind him were filled with murderous intent. Someone had provoked the city's army. As long as the captain gave the order, they would raze the town to the ground.

In the distance, the residents of the town heard the conversation between the two sides. Their hearts tightened, and their faces turned pale. Panic appeared in their eyes.

In the entire Zhanwu Continent, who dared to be rude to the city army?

They were law enforcers with the right to kill. They could kill at will and did not need to follow any rules. Most importantly, they were all very powerful.

It was not just the residents. Even the realms surrounding Zi Chen became very nervous.

This was because if both sides did not handle this well, what awaited them was Zhang Zhen's disappearance.

Zhang Chongming seemed to be calculating the gains and losses. After a moment, he took a deep breath and said, "Very well. Since we are guarding Huping City and following the rules of Shuntian Prefecture, there should be a rule above that the city army is not allowed to participate in private fights."

Private fights were also private battles. Private fights naturally represented grudges.

To put it bluntly, the city army was not allowed to participate in grudges between factions.

"It is true that the city army is not allowed to participate in private fights, but Zi Chen is our friend. What grudges do you have between you, or did he offend you?" The captain said.

"Offend you?"

Zhang Chongming said, "He did not offend me, but as Zhang Zhen's territory, he has personal grudges with many factions. The reason why I stopped him today was because of a request from the other factions."

"What personal grudges? Tell me. If there is anything that does not match, don't blame the city army for being impolite." This time, it was Hei Zi who spoke.

Zhang Chongming glanced at Hei Zi, smiled and said, "You know the Rich Python Tribe, right?"

Hei Zi shook his head.

Zhang Chongming said again, "It's the tribe you sent him to for free."

Hei Zi nodded in understanding.

Zhang Chongming pointed at Zi Chen and said, "He killed more than eighty percent of the cultivators in the Rich Python Tribe. He also killed the chief, Rich Python, and stole the Tree of Law of the Rich Python Tribe."

As soon as he said this, everyone's expressions changed. However, other than shock, their expressions were more skeptical.

"He's only at Earth Prime. Do you think I would believe that he could kill a Reality realm cultivator?" Hei Zi sneered.

Zhang Chongming smiled bitterly and said, "I can't believe it either, but it is the truth."

"But since the Rich Python is dead, the grudges are naturally over. What does it have to do with them?" Hei Zi pointed at the Reality realm cultivators.

This time, even Zi Chen smiled bitterly. He knew that Hei Zi couldn't help him.

Zhang Chongming said, "This is only the beginning. More than ten years later, he used the Rich Python Tribe's Fruit of Law as bait to make a deal. In reality, the deal was fake. His main goal was to take a fancy to the Fruit of Law of the other tribes. In the past few decades, he stole a total of eight tribes' Fruit of Law. The number of Fruit of Law he took was as high as twenty thousand. As for the Fruit of Law of the Void Realm and Earth Prime cultivators, there were more than two thousand of them. As for the Fruit of Law of the Void Realm and Earth Prime cultivators of the tribes, he killed countless of them."

Zhang Chongming paused and said, "These people have been chasing after Zi Chen for several decades. They have continued to chase after him until now."

Hei Zi was a little dazed when he heard this story. The other Reality realm cultivators were also speechless.

As for the truth, judging from the righteous indignation of the Reality realm cultivators and Zi Chen's bitter smile, it was obvious that this was the truth.

There was no doubt that everyone was stunned.

The city guards, who had originally called Zi Chen a punching bag, looked at Zi Chen with strange and complicated gazes.

In the past few decades, he had robbed eight tribes one after another, seized more than ten million resources, and killed many Void Realm and Earth Prime cultivators. This kind of battle record could no longer be described as glorious for an Earth Prime cultivator.

The others were completely shocked by Zhang Chongming's story, but Hei Zi still didn't dare to believe it. He could only look at Zi Chen and ask for confirmation. "Is this true?"

Zi Chen said bitterly, "Would you believe me if I said it's false?"

"Yes, why wouldn't I?" Hei Zi said.

"Unfortunately, this is true. I did rob them."

Zi Chen admitted. An uproar came from afar, and everyone's hearts were incomparably shaken.

Beside him, Zhang Chongming sneered and said, "How about it? He admitted it. Do you still want to participate?"

Hei Zi was suddenly at a loss. However, the captain at the back said, "Although Zi Chen is in the wrong, you may not be in the right. This is your territory. You set the rules and you have the final say. However, outside is our territory."
