Chapter 1269

The Everlasting Pill Cauldron devoured the corpses of the late Corporeal Realm experts and then swept away the corpses of the mid Corporeal Realm experts.

In the following period of time, the Everlasting Pill Cauldron would refine all of these corpses and leave behind some useful items, such as the Spirit Ring.

Zi Chen's killing style scared everyone out of their wits and they no longer dared to rashly approach him.

Zi Chen stood in the air, his body covered in blood and wounds. It was a ghastly sight, but in this state, Zi Chen had killed dozens of late Corporeal Realm experts.

The battle was over, and his wounds were healing at a visible rate. The Law Suppression that those Corporeal Realm experts had mentioned was a pure joke in front of Zi Chen.

With the Law of Destruction, all the Laws in the world could not erode Zi Chen's body.

"Buzz."

Zi Chen's body released a dazzling golden light. Holding the blade, he looked like a god of war in the air.

The golden light was very dazzling, and everyone subconsciously closed their eyes.

The dazzling golden light quickly receded, and a black robe appeared on Zi Chen's body. The bloodstains on his body had already dissipated.

The brand new black robe covered the many wounds on Zi Chen's body. This made everyone unsure whether Zi Chen's injuries had fully healed or not, but in everyone's opinion, there was a high possibility that he had fully recovered.

His cold eyes swept across, and the cultivators on the horizon all lowered their heads, not daring to look at him.

At this time, Zi Chen's indifferent expression changed, because he had discovered an acquaintance.

Zi Chen saw Zhou Chong and also saw the Rank 8 Hunter badge on his body. With just a glance, Zi Chen guessed that the other party had come to pick up the loot.

Zi Chen smiled. His smile became ferocious and cruel.

In the distance, Zhou Chong was shocked. He could see the killing intent in Zi Chen's eyes. The others were also shocked, but when they remembered their own identities, they forced themselves to remain calm.

However, in the next moment, Zi Chen walked towards them.

Zhou Chong pretended to be relaxed and adjusted his armor. Then, a faint smile appeared on his face as he watched Zi Chen approach as if he was looking at an old friend.

"Milord, epaulets, quickly put them on."

A voice rang out from the side. A Reality Realm expert was the first to react. He immediately tore off the hunter badge on his body and took out the epaulets of the city army.

After the reminder, Zhou Chong remembered that he was not wearing his epaulette. The smile on his face immediately changed. Then, he hurriedly put on the epaulette of the city army. After doing all this, he let out a sigh of relief.

In fact, without the epaulette, he didn't think that Zi Chen would dare to kill him, but what if Zi Chen really did kill him?

He couldn't gamble with his life, so he would rather put on his epaulets.

At this moment, Zi Chen approached Zhou Chong.

"Hello, Zi Chen." Zhou Chong greeted Zi Chen calmly with a forced smile on his face.

The others also felt a lot of pressure. After all, the scene of Zi Chen killing people was still vivid in their minds.

Zi Chen looked at Zhou Chong and said indifferently, "Actually, you don't have to worry. I won't kill you even if you don't put on this epaulette."

Without waiting for Zhou Chong to breathe a sigh of relief, Zi Chen continued, "But I will torture you. I will torture you so painfully that you'll wish you were dead."

The smile on Zhou Chong's face froze. The expressions of the others also changed instantly.

Zi Chen was definitely threatening them, but at this moment, no one dared to reprimand him as city army soldiers. They could only secretly rejoice that they had changed their epaulettes in time.

Zi Chen glanced at the people who hadn't left yet, then looked at Zhou Chong and asked, "They're here because of you, right?"

"What do you mean?" Zhou Chong pretended to be puzzled and surprised.

Zi Chen smiled coldly. His smile caused the chill in Zhou Chong's heart to grow even stronger.

"The battle is over." Suddenly, a voice came from afar. It was a group of people flying over from afar.

It was a group of city army soldiers. The leader was Wang Jun, followed closely by Hei Zi and the others. They were heading straight for Zi Chen. Obviously, they had come to help after hearing the news.

Wang Jun glanced at Zhou Chong and his face immediately became angry. He said angrily, "Zhou Chong, were you the one who arranged for us to go out?"

"What do you mean?" Zhou Chong looked at Wang Jun in confusion.

"Hmph, stop pretending. We just came back and won't have any missions for a while. So why did you send us out again this time?" Wang Jun asked coldly.

It turned out that after hearing that someone had betrayed Zi Chen, they had come to provide support. But coincidentally, at this moment, orders were passed down from above, and they were actually ordered to patrol the city.

Zhou Chong naturally refused to admit it. If he did, he would probably die.

Zi Chen didn't want to pursue this matter. He glanced at Zhou Chong and said indifferently, "Let's forget about this. Let's talk about something else."

"Something else? What is it?" Zhou Chong was confused.

"Hmph, to your physical space or to big brother Wang Jun's?" Zi Chen said indifferently.

Zhou Chong's expression changed, but facing Zi Chen's cold eyes, he could only say, "Let's go to Wang Jun's physical space."

The three of them entered Wang Jun's physical space.

"Take it out." Wang Jun took out half a jade slip and looked at Zhou Chong.

"I didn't bring it." Zhou Chong said.

Zi Chen glanced at Zhou Chong and said coldly, "Don't worry, no one will kill you, and no one will steal your things."

"How can I trust you?" Zhou Chong asked.

"If I wanted to kill you, you would have died long ago." Zi Chen replied indifferently.

Zhou Chong's expression changed, as if he was considering the gains and losses. After a while, his expression relaxed and he took out the jade slip.

Right now, he had already made up his mind. As long as Zi Chen dared to snatch his things, he would give them to Zi Chen for free. However, as long as he returned alive, he would pass the news to his father and grandfather.

If he didn't have a good time, then everyone would have a bad time.

Zi Chen didn't know that Zhou Chong had so many thoughts in his mind. At this moment, all his attention was on the jade slip.

The two jade slips merged and released a bright light.

A small screen of light rushed out and projected a map in mid-air. The map was divided into two parts. One part showed the general environment and was very clear, while the other part was relatively blurry and constantly changing.

It was clearly the first time Zhou Chong and Wang Jun saw it. The two stared at the map, trying to memorize the entire map.

Unfortunately, even if they memorized the outer area, it was useless if they couldn't remember the inner area. The blurry map should only appear when they reached the destination.

Zi Chen memorized the outer area map, but he didn't know where it was.

The map in front of them dissipated and the light screen disappeared. The jade slips returned to their hands.

"Do you know where it is?" Zi Chen asked.

Zhou Chong didn't speak. Wang Jun's expression became very serious. After a while, he said, "Looking at the outermost terrain, it seems to be the Hengduan Mountain Range."

"The Hengduan Mountain Range." It was the first time Zi Chen had heard of this place.

"The Hengduan Mountain Range is very famous in Huping City. Most of the battle beasts living there are mutated and very powerful. Most importantly, the entire Hengduan Mountain Range is like a natural array. If one isn't a great array master, it's very easy to get lost in there."

Wang Jun said, "Looking at the records on the map, it's obvious that we have to go deeper into the Hengduan Mountain Range. We might even have to go through it. It's very dangerous."

Zhou Chong had already put away half of the jade slip. He nodded and said, "That's right. If we really go there, then we have to be fully prepared. Although it's dangerous, a late-stage Corporeal realm expert can still be careful."

What Zhou Chong meant was that he didn't want a Domain realm expert to join them.

Whether it was Zi Chen or Wang Jun, both of them had Domain realm experts behind them. This was Zhou Chong's concern.

"Alright, send me out. We'll set off together when we're fully prepared," Zhou Chong said again.

Wang Jun glanced at Zi Chen. Zi Chen nodded and opened the corporeal space. Zhou Chong left.

"That place is indeed very dangerous. Even some Domain realm experts will get lost if they rashly enter," Wang Jun said after Zhou Chong left.

Zi Chen nodded and said, "There's no hurry."

"What do you plan to do next?" Wang Jun asked.

Zi Chen said, "I came here to gain experience. Naturally, I'll continue to gain experience. At the very least, I won't be going back for a very long time."

Wang Jun nodded and said, "Zhou Chong will probably find some strong helpers when he goes back this time. It'll definitely take a long time. Therefore, you still have a lot of time. It's better to improve your strength as soon as possible."

The two left the corporeal space. Wang Jun and the others bid farewell to Zi Chen. They had come to support Zi Chen this time. Since Zi Chen was fine, they would also leave.

Zi Chen still had to go with Shang Guan Hong to gain experience.

After everyone left, Shang Guan Hong asked curiously, "What were you guys talking about? It seemed so mysterious."

"Nothing. We were just settling some personal grudges." Shang Guan Hong clearly did not believe him.

"Of course. Back then, he almost killed me. This is a personal grudge," Zi Chen said.

Shang Guan Hong glanced at Zi Chen. She did not see any clues from his face. Then, she slowly said, "Five hundred years ago, the two of them fought in Huping City. Several city guards died. This was a serious violation of the rules. One of them was banished and the other imprisoned. You should know about this, right?"

Zi Chen nodded and said, "I heard about it from Wang Jun."

Shang Guan Hong continued, "Then do you know that the two of them originally had no grudges at all? However, one day, they broke the rules of Huping City and fought. After that, the city guards asked for the reason, but the reason was only a small matter. It could even be said to be a misunderstanding."

Zi Chen looked at Shang Guan Hong and asked, "What are you trying to say?"

Shang Guan Hong's smile was somewhat meaningful. "Do you think that the two captains would fight because of a misunderstanding? Moreover, some people died that day. According to our investigation, there were two early Corporeal realm experts among the dead. They were subordinates of the two captains and had a good relationship with each other. Just before they died, the two captains went out for a period of time."

Shang Guan Hong stopped and looked into Zi Chen's eyes. She said, "You should know something, right?"

Zi Chen shook his head to show that he did not know. In fact, his heart was already filled with shock.

Shang Guan Hong did not continue to ask. Instead, she said, "It's fine if you don't know. We stopped investigating Hunter's Castle back then. It's not a big deal to have some secrets."
