Chapter 1312

Zi Chen appeared to be very focused during the massacre. He was also very decisive when killing people. With every slash of his blade, a person would die without hesitation.

Such a person was both calm and terrifying.

The impression Zi Chen gave him over the past few days was that he was calm and somewhat afraid of trouble. He couldn't see anything else about him.

"He is very powerful to have such skills at the middle stage of the Emptiness Realm. This calmness and coldness are rare. He must be a decisive person." Ling Dong commented.

The video of the massacre ended. In this battle, Zi Chen single-handedly killed a group of late stage Corporeal Realm experts. This greatly impacted Chuan Xing.

After a moment of silence, Chuan Xing asked, "How many years ago was this?"

"Not long ago. About a year ago," Ling Dong said.

"That's impossible. How can someone break through two realms in a year?" Chuan Xing didn't believe it at all.

"What? Two realms in a year? Could it be that Zi Chen's true realm is the early stage of the Corporeal Realm?" Ling Dong also found it hard to believe.

"Go investigate this Zi Chen."

"Yes."

Ling Dong received the order to investigate Zi Chen's background. This task wasn't difficult because when Zi Chen first appeared, he started a massacre. Many people witnessed it. At that time, he was only at the early stage of the Emptiness Realm.

It was very easy to investigate Zi Chen's incident in Huping City. Ling Dong only needed to eat two meals to find out.

He was undoubtedly shocked by Zi Chen's deeds. From the early stage of the Emptiness Realm to the early stage of the Corporeal Realm, Zi Chen had only used two short years.

This kind of growth speed was rarely seen in one's life.

In addition, Ling Dong also found out that Zi Chen and the others had gone to the Hengduan Mountain Range.

After several meals, Ling Dong found out all the details that outsiders knew. Then, he returned to Chuan Xing to report.

Zi Chen and the others didn't mention these details.

"I knew there was something strange about them. However, no one saw if there was anything else inside. Perhaps after seventy thousand years of being sealed, the Forbidden Heaven and Restricted Earth destroyed everything," Chuan Xing said.

"If everything was destroyed, where did the Illusory Dragon items come from?" Ling Dong questioned.

"Therefore, the most important thing right now is the Illusion Dragon's world, and the last one to come into contact with that world is Zi Chen," said Chuan Xing.

"According to the information I obtained, the five worlds didn't collapse. They only collapsed after a period of time had passed." Ling Dong told him everything he knew.

Chuan Xing continued, "So, something must have happened during this period of time, but as for what happened, only Zi Chen knows."

This time, the key was once again Zi Chen.

However, this kind of thing naturally couldn't be asked directly. It was enough to have a guess in his heart.

"What should we do now?" Ling Dong asked.

"Don't worry. Let's wait for news from the Hengduan Mountain Range first."

While Chuan Xing was suspecting Zi Chen, inside Hunter's Castle, Ling Xing and the others were celebrating the five prefecture tokens.

The tokens of the Manor Realm would appear under two circumstances. The first was random, and they would appear in any corner of Shuntian Prefecture.

There weren't many random tokens. These were the tokens that hadn't been collected in time after the Manor Realm closed, so they were automatically thrown out by that world.

As for the second, they were distributed.

These tokens were distributed entirely by Shuntian Prefecture, and they were evenly distributed among the 653 cities.

However, it was worth mentioning that during the distribution process, the tokens were distributed according to their ranking from highest to lowest.

In other words, the tokens of the Manor Realm would only be distributed to Huping City, which was ranked 653th.

Yanbo Castle was ranked 43th, so it was obvious that all the tokens had been distributed there. However, it would probably take hundreds of years for the tokens to reach Huping City.

Hundreds of years sounded like a long time, but it was only a short moment in their almost endless years.

Speaking of which, the tokens had changed hands 652 times. By the time they reached Huping City, there were only a few left.

All the cities had reserved tokens, and Huping City was the last to receive them. Of course, this could also be called an equal distribution.

This was also one of the rules of every prefecture. It followed the law of the jungle.

This time, Zi Chen and the other four had received tokens of the Manor Realm, which was definitely a pleasant surprise.

Zi Chen and the others went into seclusion again, while the reality of Yanbo Castle began to search for the treasure maps.

The directions recorded on the treasure maps were all the same. Other than the easiest route, which had been broken through by Zi Chen and the others, the other routes would still be dangerous.

Chuan Xing was no longer prepared to ask Zi Chen anything, as he knew that he wouldn't be able to get anything out of him.

Next, Chuan Xing thought about how to contact Zi Chen.

Half a year passed quickly, and Zi Chen and the others still hadn't shown up. The reality of Yanbo Castle and the others also came up empty-handed. They even lost a few powerhouses during this time.

"What should we do?" Ling Dong came to look for Chuan Xing.

"Don't worry. We still have a lot of time." Chuan Xing seemed very calm.

Huping City looked very quiet, but Hunter's Castle wasn't at all quiet. Ling Dong and the others wanted the people of Yanbo Castle to leave quickly, but they didn't seem to have any intention of leaving.

Another half a year passed quickly, and these people had been here for more than a year.

In a year's time, Zi Chen's realm was also slowly increasing in Heaven No.6.

In a short four years, his reality, which was only one meter long, had already expanded by one meter.

Zi Chen's reality was only three meters wide. Once he reached the limit, Zi Chen would be able to break through. He was now one meter away from the limit, but Zi Chen would need another four years to break through this one meter, even if he spared no expense.

Zi Chen had been in seclusion for four years, and so had Shang Guan Hong and the others. In the last year, they had also broken through their realms one after another.

All four of them had broken through to the late stage of the Reality Realm in the last year.

However, before they could rejoice over their breakthroughs, Yanbo Castle's exploration of the reality of the Hengduan Mountain Range ran into trouble, and they asked for help.

Although Dong Qing's strength had broken through, as a beast tamer, she had expended too much energy last time and hadn't been able to replenish her energy for a long time. Eighty percent of her combat power came from her beasts, so she naturally couldn't go out to battle.

In the castle, Ming Chu had arranged for Man Shi to follow Dong Qing to capture beasts, so only Shang Guan Hong and Wu Xie could go out to battle.

The two of them could only follow these realms to the Hengduan Mountain Range.

Three months later, news came again that they had accidentally triggered a great formation, and the two of them were trapped inside.

When Dong Qing and Man Shi, who were training in the Hengduan Mountain Range, heard the news, they joined the rescue team. But this time, not only did the rescue not succeed, they even lost their lives.

In desperation, these realms could only return to ask for help.

Coincidentally, a few days ago, Yan Ming had made a special discovery in this area and summoned many realms to investigate. At this time, the only one who had authority in the entire castle was Ling Xing.

Just as Ling Xing was thinking about what to do, Shangguan Mingxing and his wife arrived at the castle. Although they didn't cause a ruckus in the castle, their worry for their daughter's safety put a lot of pressure on Ling Xing.

Helpless, he could only search for a formation master while sending someone to inform Zi Chen that he had come out of seclusion.

Zi Chen, who had come out of seclusion, was brought directly to the meeting hall. As soon as he entered, he saw Shangguan Mingxing, and his expression changed drastically.

"What's wrong?" Ling Xing noticed the change in Zi Chen's expression.

Zi Chen's expression returned to normal, and he said without batting an eyelid, "Nothing, I just feel that this senior looks a little familiar."

Ling Xing nodded and said, "Of course he looks familiar. He's Shang Guan Hong's father, so it's normal for them to look similar."

The corners of Zi Chen's mouth twitched when he heard this. At first, he was surprised by the other party's identity, but when he looked at Shangguan Mingxing and Shang Guan Hong, he realized that the two didn't look alike at all. Instead, they looked very much like their mother.

Shangguan Mingxing glanced at him indifferently, and didn't seem to have any intention of greeting him. Instead, Shang Guan Hong's mother looked at him and nodded, but Zi Chen could see from her eyes that she had just cried, so he immediately asked.

"Something happened to Shang Guan Hong."

Shang Guan Hong's parents raised their heads and looked at Zi Chen in surprise. Zi Chen had come here as soon as he came out of seclusion, so it was obvious that he didn't know about Shang Guan Hong's situation. However, he was able to guess quickly, which showed how sharp his observation skills were.

Ling Xing's expression turned serious. He indicated for Zi Chen to sit down first, and then said, "Shang Guan Hong isn't the only one. Wu Xie, Man Shi, and Dong Qing are also in trouble."

Zi Chen's expression immediately changed, and he asked, "What happened?"

"They're trapped in a formation. Those in the Domain realm can't pass through, so only those in the Corporeal realm can."

"What's going on? Weren't the four of them in seclusion? How did they get involved in a formation?"

"Four months ago, the four of them came out of seclusion one after another, and their strength also made breakthroughs one after another. Then, the people from Yanbo Castle encountered trouble while exploring the Hengduan Mountain Range, so they sent people to ask for help. Dong Qing and Man Shi couldn't leave, so they could only arrange for Shang Guan Hong and Wu Xie to go out. However, news came last month that the two of them were trapped with the others."

"When Dong Qing and Man Shi heard the news, they also dared to go rescue them, but when the news came again yesterday, they were also trapped."

Zi Chen listened quietly. Beside him, Shang Guan Hong's mother had already begun to weep.

Ling Xing continued, "I heard that the formation there is very strange. Before calling you, I found a few more formation masters, so that you can go rescue them."

Zi Chen muttered to himself for a moment, then said, "Of course there's no problem with rescuing them, but …"

"But what?" Beside him, Shangguan Mingxing said unhappily.

Zi Chen smiled and said, "Uncle, don't be so agitated. There's no problem with rescuing them, but before that, I want to reforge my weapon."

"Hong 'er's fate is unknown, and you still have the mind to reforge your weapon? And Hong' er is still so devoted to you. Brat, are you even human?" Shangguan Mingxing was furious. He slammed the table and stood up.

Zi Chen didn't get angry. He smiled and said, "Reforging a weapon is also a big matter. If I don't have a suitable weapon, how can I rescue them?"

"Brat, I think you're doing this on purpose. You're taking revenge on me because of the Hengduan Mountain Range, right? My Treasure Pavilion has tens of thousands of weapons. You can take whatever you want, but you have to leave tomorrow at the latest. I really don't know what kind of eyes Hong 'er has, to actually fancy you."
