Chapter 1334

The fact that Zi Chen was friends with the two of them was already very surprising. However, what was even more surprising was that Zi Chen had suddenly taken out a token.

After all, there were only five tokens in the entire Huping City this time. Although the other tokens had already been decided, there were not many of them in total. It was still very shocking that Zi Chen could take out an extra one.

Just as Wang Jun and Hei Zi were stunned, many people woke up from their shock. The gazes these people looked at the token became very fervent.

Even if they wanted to obtain the token, they could only think about it in their hearts. They did not dare to take action.

In the entire Huping City, there was currently no one who dared to challenge Zi Chen's dignity.

"Big brother, this …" Hei Zi was still in disbelief when he looked at the token.

Due to being drunk, Wang Jun had just lost his composure. However, after seeing the token, he completely sobered up. He recovered his usual calmness and said in a deep voice, "This token is too valuable. We can't accept it."

With that, he took the token and brought Hei Zi to Zi Chen.

"Where did you get the extra token?" In the private room, everyone looked at Zi Chen in confusion.

This time, there were only twelve tokens in the entire Huping City. This was something everyone knew. However, where did Zi Chen get the token from?

"I snatched it. Back then, I was still a mere Earth Yuan cultivator. I used my life to snatch this token," Zi Chen said indifferently.

"You managed to snatch a token at the Earth Yuan level."

When they looked at Zi Chen again, their eyes were filled with curiosity. It was obvious that there was a shocking story behind this.

"Tell us, what happened?" Shangguan Hong asked closely.

"That's right. What's going on here?" Dong Qing's beautiful eyes were also filled with curiosity.

Zi Chen paused. Just as he was about to start from the beginning, Wang Jun and Hei Zi walked in.

"Zi Chen, we can't accept this. It's too precious." Wang Jun placed the token in front of Zi Chen as soon as he entered.

Everyone looked at Wang Jun with a strange expression. They found it strange that Zi Chen had given the token to him, because everyone knew how precious the token was. If it was auctioned in Huping City, it would probably fetch a sky-high price. Even so, the family that obtained the token would owe Zi Chen a favor.

However, Zi Chen had actually given the token away.

However, what they did not expect was that the two people who had just cried bitterly because they had lost their qualifications actually resisted the temptation of the token and returned it.

"Sit, sit first. I was just about to tell you the adventure story of this token. Come and listen." Zi Chen looked at the two with a faint smile and signaled the staff to arrange seats for them.

The two of them sat down, but because of the extraordinary existence around them, they felt as if they were sitting on pins and needles.

"Back then, I had only just entered the Earth Yuan realm. When I first arrived in this world, I was sold. Oh no, I was sent to a small tribe." Zi Chen started the story with this.

Wu Xie asked curiously, "Even if you are only at the Earth Yuan realm, you have the strength to match a Void realm expert. Who was so bold as to sell you?"

"It's a gift. It's him. No one buys Earth Element in that place," Zi Chen emphasized. Then, he pointed at Hei Zi and smiled.

Since he dared to give Zi Chen away, the others looked at Hei Zi with eyes full of admiration.

Hei Zi lowered his head in embarrassment. There was some awkwardness on his face.

"The tribe I was in was called the Rich Python Tribe. The one who had the token was the tribe leader, Rich Python. He was at the early Corporeal realm. Back then, ten of his brothers came to that area to work hard and successfully established the Rich Python Tribe, but …"

Zi Chen seriously recounted what had happened back then …

The various schemes during this period, the mutual distrust between the brothers, and the tragic deaths of Olde and Jesse in the end...

The story quickly came to an end. Everyone fell into deep thought.

None of the people present had ever encountered what Zi Chen had told them. In fact, they had never even heard of it.

For an unknown object, he had actually used his own woman as bait and killed his own brothers afterwards.

Such a bizarre story could almost be written into a fantasy novel.

Wang Jun and Hei Zi both knew of that small tribe, but they never thought that such a thing would happen in that tribe. Moreover, it was all because of a token.

Wang Jun lowered his head and looked at the token that Zi Chen had used his life to snatch back. He felt that the token was boiling hot and very heavy.

"Sigh, or should I say that you are a schemer? We can't even imagine what you have encountered." Wu Xie sighed, but his expression was full of admiration.

Zi Chen was indeed extraordinary to be able to kill two Corporeal realm experts and steal the token under such circumstances.

Man Shi and the others nodded. Because of Hunter's Castle, they only knew how to cultivate and had never encountered any schemes or schemes.

The first time they had encountered such a scheme was when Zi Chen had brought them and Mirage Dragon on a mission.

Mirage Dragon had schemed to drive a wedge between them and Zi Chen, but they had foolishly fallen for it and were very resistant to Zi Chen.

If Zi Chen hadn't taken a step back in order to advance, they probably wouldn't have had such a perfect cooperation.

"If that's the case, I can't take this token." Wang Jun pushed the token to Zi Chen.

Zi Chen looked at the medallion on the table and sighed. "I lost my life because of it, but it's useless now. Take it. Consider it my thanks to all of you. I'll be the leader of this expedition into the Manor Realm. No matter which one of you goes, I'll do my best to protect you."

Hei Zi looked at Zi Chen gratefully and said, "Give it to Big Brother. I'm still not strong enough. I'll only be a burden even if I go."

In the end, the token went to Wang Jun. After that, plates of delicious food were served. The dishes were colorful and fragrant.

Everyone was very happy with the meal. They drank a lot during the meal, and some of them were even sent back.

Now, all they had to do was wait for the Manor Realm to open.

During this time, Zi Chen went to look for Lord Wu to learn more about the Manor Realm.

"It's useless for me to explain too much to you about the Manor Realm. You'll naturally understand some of the rules there."

Lord Wu said, "Everyone will be given a token to enter the Manor Realm. The Manor Realm is very big. It's like a giant circle. All of you will appear on the periphery of the circle, but you'll also appear in different places according to your ranking. Without a doubt, we're ranked last, so we'll appear in the worst places."

Zi Chen was very confused. "The way to enter the Manor Realm is related to the ranking of the city. Could it be that it's man-made?"

Lord Wu looked at Zi Chen with admiration and said, "Of course. There's a Manor Realm in every Manor. Do you think it's a coincidence? It's man-made. It's just that it's built on an ancient battlefield."

"And then?"

Zi Chen asked, "Could it be that everyone has to move towards the central area? Along the way, there will be rewards."

"Of course there will be rewards, but everyone who enters the Manor Realm has the intention of breaking through. It's easier to break through to the Domain Realm there. As you go deeper, if you're lucky enough, you'll sometimes find some masterless realms. It's easier to comprehend the mysteries of the Domain Realm in those masterless realms. Of course, if there's anything good in there, it'll be yours."

What would there be in the Manor Realm?

Whatever that cultivator had obtained in his lifetime, there would be something in there.

Lord Wu said in the end, "The Manor Realm is very strange. There are still many secrets that haven't been discovered yet. For example, we still don't know the meaning of the number on the token."

Lord Wu patted Zi Chen's shoulder and said earnestly, "Anyway, it's up to you to explore and bring back some confidential information. Huping City's ranking has always been low, so I don't have anything valuable to give you. I hope you can bring back something valuable."

Zi Chen nodded. He could hear the bitterness and helplessness in Lord Wu's words.

Thinking about it, Ye Futian had worked hard to increase Huping City's quota, but he didn't seem to have succeeded.

…

…

As everyone waited in anticipation, the Manor Realm finally opened.

At first, Zi Chen was worried that he wouldn't know what to do if he missed the opening. However, when the Manor Realm opened, he realized that his worries were unnecessary.

The token in his Spirit Ring began to vibrate very quickly. Then, the token rushed out of the Spirit Ring.

Zi Chen walked out of Hunter's Castle with the token in his hand.

The others followed him out.

Zi Chen walked out of Hunter's Castle with the token in his hand. A pitch-black crack appeared in the sky corresponding to the token. It was the passage to the Manor Realm.

"Go on." Lord Wu and the other stewards walked out and looked at Zi Chen encouragingly.

Zi Chen nodded at the crowd. Holding the medallion in his hand, he stepped into the crack.

At the same time, Wu Xie and the others followed closely behind Zi Chen and entered the Manor Realm.

Man Shi, Dong Qing, Gu Wen, and Gu Qiang followed one after another.

"Hong 'er."

In the Shangguan Family's mansion, Hong's mother's eyes reddened when she saw her daughter standing under the pitch-black crack. Tears rolled down her cheeks uncontrollably.

"Why are you crying? I'm going to look for an opportunity," Shangguan Mingxing reprimanded her with a choked voice.

"But I don't know how many years I'll be gone. Also …" Hong's mother couldn't help but cry again.

Shangguan Hong usually went to places that were less dangerous. However, she was going to the Manor Realm, which was a dangerous and mysterious place. Naturally, she was worried about her daughter's safety.

"Father, mother, I'm leaving."

Shangguan Hong wore a light armor that covered her entire body. Her long black hair was tied into a ponytail. She looked very neat. She bowed to her parents and turned to leave.

The same scene played out in the entire Huping City and the entire Shuntian Prefecture.

One after another, rifts appeared in each of the 653 cities. A person entered each of the rifts.

"After thousands of years, the Manor Realm is opening again. I wonder how many people will return this time."

Similar exclamations could be heard in almost every big city.

"Whether we succeed or fail this time depends on Zi Chen. I hope he doesn't disappoint us." Lord Wu looked at the place where Zi Chen had disappeared and couldn't help but sigh.

Huping City had been suppressed for too long. They desperately hoped that a leader would appear and lead Huping City to new heights.

They had wanted to give up the position of Old Mo for a long time.
