Chapter 1308

Zi Chen wasn't surprised by Ling Xing's arrival. He had learned from Shang Guan Hong that they knew something was wrong with the Mirage Dragon, but they hadn't been able to contact them. They had even sent out a Domain realm expert.

"Good boy, you've broken through again."

It had only been three months since Zi Chen had broken through, so he hadn't been able to control his power properly. Ling Xing, who was at the Domain realm, could naturally sense it and couldn't help but praise him.

"Senior, why are you here?" Zi Chen walked to the sandalwood table, picked up the teapot, and poured two cups of tea.

When Zi Chen wasn't around, someone would clean his room every day. As for boiling tea, there was always water available 79 hours a day.

"I'm here to see you. If it weren't for you, Hunter's Castle would've suffered a great loss," Ling Xing said with a smile.

It was obvious that Hunter's Castle had learned of the entire incident and was very satisfied with Zi Chen's performance.

Zi Chen smiled and said modestly, "Senior, you're too polite. We had a great time working together this time. Everyone contributed to the fact that I was able to return alive."

"Don't be so modest. We all know what happened. I heard that you suffered a great loss this time, and the Storm Eagle died for you. So this time, I've come to discuss compensation with you. After all, we didn't investigate the matter clearly and almost caused a disaster. We were at fault." Ling Xing said very sincerely.

Zi Chen was surprised by Ling Xing's intention. He had thought that Ling Xing was just here to see him and ask about his safety. After all, he had almost died.

He didn't even think about it and said, "There's no need for compensation. I've already wasted a lot of resources. It's only right that I do something for Hunter's Castle."

"Don't refuse. This is something that we old men have agreed on. If you have any requests, just say them," Ling Xing insisted.

Ling Xing's attitude didn't allow for refusal. Zi Chen thought about it seriously and thought of something. "I do have one request."

"Speak."

"The sword-shield combination from last time was severely damaged in the battle. The weapon souls inside were also heavily injured and have fallen into a deep sleep. I want to find someone to refine them again."

"Oh, that's a problem." Ling Xing frowned slightly.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Zi Chen asked.

"There aren't any major problems, just some minor ones, but they can be solved. However, that Weapon Refining Grandmaster is currently not in Huping City. We will send a message for him to come back. Once he comes back, we will inform you. Apart from this, what other requests do you have?"

"I want to use the cultivation room," Zi Chen said again.

When the cultivation room was mentioned, the corners of Xing Ling's mouth twitched unnaturally. He did not hesitate and immediately said, "You can use these things as you wish. They are not part of the compensation."

"Just reforge the sword and shield. There's really no need for compensation." Zi Chen declined again.

"That's fine too." Seeing Zi Chen's insistence, Ling Xing nodded.

Then, Ling Xing talked to him about other topics, but he never mentioned the alien race, which surprised Zi Chen even more.

After all, he was the one who killed the alien race's Phantom Dragon in the end. Now that he was back, the people from Hunter's Castle had to ask him about what happened.

When the pot of tea was finished, Ling Xing did not ask anything. Instead, he prepared to leave. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and looked at Zi Chen. "The alien race is a very important matter. We have no right to ask about it, so we won't ask about what happened. However, Yanbo Castle is very concerned about the alien race. We received news that they have already sent someone here. When the time comes, we will definitely ask you for some details."

With that, Ling Xing left.

There was nothing wrong with Ling Xing's tone, but there was a big problem with his words. He only said that people from Yanbo Castle would come, but he did not say that they needed to cooperate fully, nor did he say anything else. He just said that.

However, looking at Ling Xing's expression, it did not seem like a normal matter at all. He seemed to be telling Zi Chen something with his attitude and tone, reminding Zi Chen of something.

From Ling Xing's arrival to his departure, he kept talking about compensation, but did not ask about the harvest this time.

Zi Chen and the others were the future of Hunter's Castle. They were the hope of Hunter's Castle in Huping City. Obviously, Zi Chen knew from their attitude that they would not do anything too extreme. However, if it were someone from Yanbo Castle, they would not be so magnanimous. They would definitely ask a lot of questions that they should not ask.

They had gained a lot this time. Zi Chen was already very sensitive, and with Ling Xing's reminder, Zi Chen felt that he should be more careful.

Gain was a very sensitive word. He was not the only one who had gained something. Even Shangguan Hong and the others had gained something. He still had not figured out how to tell the others about this, so he decided not to think about it.

Huping City had its own rules. He did not believe that the people from Yanbo Castle would dare to kill people in Huping City even if they were deliberately targeting them.

Wu Xie and the others were in seclusion, so Zi Chen could not see them. After that, Zi Chen also decided to go into seclusion to cultivate.

The next day, he went to the Sky Cultivation Room 6 in the Real Realm.

However, before he entered, Zi Chen found the manager of the room and gave him over ten billion in resources. This was the fee he paid for using the cultivation room.

Soon, the resources were sent to Lord Wu.

It was the same meeting room. A few people happened to be in the middle of a meeting. After seeing the resources, Lord Wu's expression was a little stunned.

Then, he smiled and said, "It seems that Zi Chen has not forgotten what happened last time."

Beside him, Ling Xing snorted and said, "It's just ten billion in resources. I told you not to be too calculative last time. Look at it now … Zi Chen is taking it to heart."

Ming Zhu and the other manager's expressions immediately turned ugly. Last time, they were also the ones who strongly opposed the unlimited funding of Zi Chen.

However, in just a few short months, the talent that Zi Chen had displayed had far exceeded ten billion in resources. The value that he had created was immeasurable.

"Zi Chen is already taking it to heart. What should we do now?" Seeing that the two did not speak, Ling Xing did not bother to push them anymore and asked directly.

"When he comes out, we will return the resources to him. Now that Zi Chen is a member of Hunter's Castle in Huping City, we naturally have to nurture him with all our might. We must not let him down again," Lord Wu instructed.

The three nodded.

"What do you think about the people from Yanbo Castle this time?" Lord Wu looked at the three and asked. This was the key to the meeting.

Ming Zhu thought for a moment and said, "If they are only here to investigate the foreign races, we will naturally cooperate with them."

"We will definitely cooperate with them. However, what if their target is not the foreign races?" Ling Xing said.

"Not the foreign races? Then what do you mean?"

Ling Xing snorted and said, "At first, when we asked them about Chen Wei, they did not care and did not care. After so long, they finally sent a message back. However, this time, when they heard that the foreign race was killed, they became very concerned and secretly sent people here. I think what they are really concerned about is not the foreign race, but the things that the foreign race left behind."

Everyone fell into silence.

With Man Shi's big mouth, the four of them naturally could not hide their gains this time.

On average, each of them had obtained four or five Void Trees that were about to wither. There were also other things whose value could not be estimated.

Considering the future of Hunter's Castle, they naturally would not think about these things.

As for Zi Chen, they did not know what Zi Chen had obtained. However, they were sure that Zi Chen had obtained Xuanlong's Spirit Ring. In addition to the wealth inside, there might also be the seeds of the Void Trees. In addition, Zi Chen had also killed Xuanlong. As for what he had obtained, no one knew. However, they could guess in their hearts.

This time, the people from Yanbo Castle had come for these things.

The three of them began to discuss intensely. Lord Wu, who was above, did not say a word. He just listened quietly.

After a long time, the three of them still could not come to a conclusion. Lord Wu waved his hand.

The three of them stopped discussing. He looked at them and said, "No matter what their purpose is this time, before the people from Yanbo Castle leave, they are not allowed to leave the city. We will not ask about the things they have, and we will not interfere. We only need to ensure their safety."

"If we don't interfere, what if they don't care about their status and rob us?" Ming Zhu asked.

"This is Huping City. There are rules and a city lord. I don't think they would dare to act rashly. These are all our guesses. Perhaps they really only care about the foreign races."

This time, Lord Wu had clearly expressed his attitude. If anything happened, he had to protect the five of them.

He would even … not hesitate to break off relations with Yanbo Castle.

…

…

After entering the Heaven cultivation room, Zi Chen began to cultivate.

Because he did not have a huge amount of resources to replenish himself during this breakthrough, his realm did not soar by a large margin.

Now, he could only slowly replenish his strength and let his reality slowly expand.

The power of rules in the Heaven No. 6 room was very rich. However, Zi Chen could no longer absorb it with just a thought like before. Now, he could only follow the rules and slowly absorb the power of rules. Then, he would convert this power for his own use.

However, by staying here, even if the absorption speed was very slow, it was still extremely terrifying in the eyes of ordinary people.

Zi Chen was cultivating in seclusion in the cultivation room.

In his reality space, the Void Tree was slowly recovering due to the infusion of the life force contained in the Rule Force.

The reality behind Zi Chen began to expand, but the expansion speed was very slow.

At this rate, it would take at least a few decades to expand the Reality Dimension to three meters.

Time passed. Nothing major happened in Huping City.

However, Hunter's Castle had recently issued a mission, which was to collect a large number of treasure maps related to the Hengduan Mountain Range.

This was something that the entire Huping City had done because of the discovery of the foreign races.

The mission clearly stated that this map was a conspiracy and might have been invalidated. Therefore, it caused some panic. Many forces came to Hunter's Castle with maps.

Naturally, Wang Jun and Zhou Chong's maps were among them.

However, the two of them had tacitly given the maps to others, thus dismissing themselves.
