Chapter 1543
Chapter 1543
An elegant young man walked out of Ugly Cripple's room. All the workers were dumbfounded.
However, they were soon relieved, thinking that the other party was here to look for Ugly Cripple. Ever since Overlord Mossius was killed, there were often people who came to visit just to see Ugly Cripple. One of the workers asked, "Are you here to look for Brother Ugly?"
The black-robed young man looked at them and smiled. His smile was like a spring breeze.
The old man with missing front teeth walked out and looked at the black-robed young man with a doubtful expression.
Zi Chen looked at the old man and smiled without saying a word.
Then, the mute girl walked out of the room. When she saw the handsome young man, she was also stunned. She rubbed her eyes as if she had seen an unbelievable scene.
Then, she quickly walked forward and sized up the young man. Then, she gestured at the young man excitedly.
"What? You're Brother Chou?" Everyone was shocked when they saw the mute girl's gesture.
Although Brother Chou's appearance had changed recently and he had seen many faces, he was definitely not as good-looking as this young man.
The young man was Zi Chen. He smiled and said, "Let me introduce myself. I'm Zi Chen. Thank you for taking care of me all this time."
Everyone opened their mouths wide and were completely stunned.
Zi Chen turned around and bowed to the old man. "Thank you for saving my life, senior."
The silly old man with missing front teeth grinned, looking very silly.
Zi Chen rubbed the mute girl's head and smiled. "Thank you for taking care of me all this time."
The mute girl lowered her head and blushed.
After a year, Zi Chen had fully recovered and become a well-deserved Second Domain Realm cultivator.
Whether it was his physical body or spiritual thoughts, they were both at the peak of the second-layer domain.
There was still a powerful foreign race force dormant in his body. Zi Chen did not have time to refine this force.
Seeing that Brother Chou was not ugly and could even talk, and thinking back to Brother Chou's combat strength, everyone's expression became very interesting.
"Are you leaving?" the old man with missing front teeth asked with a complicated expression.
When the mute girl heard this, her expression became gloomy. She lowered her head and looked at her feet.
The others stared blankly for a moment. Soon after, bitterness appeared on their faces. Thinking back to everything that had happened before, everyone naturally guessed a few things. Now that the great expert had recovered, how could a small tavern accommodate such an overlord level existence?
Zi Chen looked at the mute girl and said to the old man, "I'm not leaving yet. I'm just going out to investigate. I'll be back in three to five days."
The old man nodded, and everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
With that, Zi Chen's figure flashed and disappeared from the tavern.
"Oh my god, he disappeared in an instant. He is indeed a great expert." The group of shop assistants exclaimed.
Zi Chen used a speed that was close to teleportation and appeared several hundred meters away from the tavern. Then, he walked away.
Wherever he passed, the shop owners who had previously pointed at Zi Chen also stopped to watch curiously after seeing the elegant young master appear.
Zi Chen ignored the gazes of the crowd. He had just recovered, and he seemed to be absent-minded.
Zi Chen had already guessed that the mute girl would be able to recognize him.
This was not because of his eyes, but because of his perception.
There were no energy fluctuations around the mute girl. To put it bluntly, she was just a mortal. However, Zi Chen sensed a special aura from her. This aura could not be sensed by ordinary people. Only a special existence like Zi Chen could sense it.
This was because the aura of the mute girl belonged to a foreign race.
In other words, the mute girl belonged to a foreign race.
As for the old man, he was not simple either. Zi Chen could not see his previous realm, but he could sense that he had suffered a serious injury and his realm had dropped severely. Currently, he was not even considered an Earth Prime.
It could be said that both the grandfather and grandson were not simple.
However, Zi Chen did not sense any foreign energy fluctuations from the old man.
He chose to go out now because he wanted to think carefully about the mute girl.
Although she was currently a mortal, that was because the foreign aura had not yet awakened. Once it was awakened, her realm would advance rapidly, and she would be more talented than all the geniuses Zi Chen had seen.
At that time, not only would the mute girl not be mute, but she would also become a strong person, a true strong person.
Zi Chen naturally would not forget who had caused her to become like this.
The creatures of the Zhan Wu Continent were completely irreconcilable with the foreign races. They killed everyone they saw.
This was because the foreign races represented disaster and destruction. They were different from the Demon Race of the Tianwu Continent. The latter just wanted to survive, but the foreign races appeared to destroy.
After Zi Chen's spiritual senses were awakened, the old man would often nag beside him, saying that the reason he saved him was because the mute girl would not let go of him no matter what when she saw him, begging the old man to save him.
Zi Chen could understand this point. He guessed that the mute girl had sensed the foreign aura on his body. The two auras were very similar. This was also the main reason why the mute girl could recognize Zi Chen at a glance, and why Zi Chen could easily sense the foreign aura on the mute girl.
Zi Chen wasn't sure how to deal with the mute girl at the moment, but he couldn't bring himself to kill someone he was indebted to.
As for the second reason, it was because Dong Qing, whose name was similar to Dong Qing, was the new overlord of this area.
After he became the overlord, he immediately left with his people and did not even care about his territory. This was not like an overlord.
Moreover, the news was very clear. Dong Qing's strength was at the Second Domain Realm, which was higher than Mo Sixiu's.
When Zi Chen recalled the scene when he had killed Mo Sixiu back then and associated it with Dong Qing leaving with her men, he could faintly guess what was going on. After he had fully recovered, he immediately set off to see what Dong Qing was up to.
If he wasn't wrong, it would be a huge matter.
In the periphery of this area, there was only a mountain range, so it was not difficult to find the place.
When he reached the periphery of the mountain range, Zi Chen saw many cultivators.
"Swoosh." Zi Chen used his extreme speed and disappeared in a flash.
The cultivators in charge of guarding the periphery only felt their vision blur. They shook their heads, thinking that it was an illusion.
After entering the mountain range, there were towering mountains and precipitous ridges everywhere. The mountain range was full of cultivators flickering about.
After landing and walking a few hundred meters, Zi Chen saw a brawny man and asked with a smile, "Big brother, did you find anything?"
The brawny man turned around and saw Zi Chen. He could not help but complain, "What are you talking about? There are mountains everywhere. What can I find?"
"Indeed. Even if there are some abnormal fluctuations, they are just some small beasts. It's disappointing." Zi Chen walked to a place about ten meters away from the muscular man and stopped. He leaned against an old tree with a lazy expression.
This distance was just right. It would not make the brawny man feel threatened and would not alienate him too much.
"I've been looking for more than half a year. Where are the abnormal fluctuations? A thousand reality fragments. The reward is tempting, but the problem is that I can't find it." Reality proved that Zi Chen was overthinking. The brawny man came to his side and seemed to be very talkative.
It was rare to meet such a straightforward man. Zi Chen smiled and threw a bottle of wine to the brawny man.
The brawny man subconsciously caught it and nodded with a smile. He directly opened the cork and a fragrant smell of wine wafted out. The brawny man's eyes immediately lit up. He said in surprise, "Little brother, you actually took out such good wine. It must be worth three to five hundred fragments per bottle."
Zi Chen smiled and said, "It's home-brewed wine. It's really not that good."
The brawny man smiled gratefully and said, "Then I won't hold back. How can I have wine without meat? Wait a moment."
After saying that, the brawny man scurried out. A moment later, he brought back a cleaned mutated beast.
Then, the two set up a fire and barbecued it. It was clear that the brawny man was very skilled at barbecuing.
They drank bottle after bottle of wine. The brawny man exclaimed that it was good wine. It was worth a few hundred fragments.
Zi Chen smiled and did not tell the brawny man the truth.
The two drank and chatted happily. Zi Chen learned what he needed to know.
"In this life, I, Wang Mengshan, wish to enter the Shuntian Prefecture." The brawny man was seventy percent drunk. He looked up at the sky and sighed.
"We're in the Shuntian Prefecture." Zi Chen chuckled.
The brawny man was startled. He then smiled and said, "Brother Zi Chen, you're really humorous. But you're right. We're in the Shuntian Prefecture now. But my biggest wish is to enter the Shuntian Prefecture that only Domain Realm cultivators are qualified to enter. That's the most prosperous place in the entire Shuntian Prefecture."
Zi Chen smiled, but he was very surprised. It was the first time he heard about the Shuntian Prefecture.
"We're in a no-man's land. There are no cities or Shuntian Prefecture. Only the overlords have the final say. But they don't care about the details. But our area is close to the Shuntian Prefecture and there are many experts. Although this is the outermost area, the overlords are also Domain Realm cultivators. If you go deeper, you'll meet more experts."
Wang Mengshan suddenly looked at Zi Chen and said, "Little Brother Zi Chen, I see that you're extraordinary and have an outstanding temperament. You shouldn't be from here, right?"
Zi Chen smiled faintly and didn't deny it. He smiled and said, "I had nothing to do, so I went out to travel. I happened to encounter this matter, so I came to join in the fun."
Wang Mengshan said in realization, "I knew it. How could someone who can casually take out hundreds of bottles of good wine be interested in such a small reward?"
After a meal, the two of them parted ways. Zi Chen had obtained some useful clues, so he headed deeper into the forest.
He only said that there were special fluctuations, but he didn't say anything. This made Zi Chen feel very strange.
He saw more people one after another. Zi Chen found that they were like headless flies, bumping around without a clear direction.
Next, Zi Chen released his perfect spiritual sense and joined the search army.
In two days, Zi Chen traveled tens of thousands of miles, crossing mountains and rivers. During this time, he sensed many energy fluctuations, but he didn't sense any special energy fluctuations.
On the third day, when Zi Chen flew over a giant mountain, his expression changed. He sensed a special energy fluctuation.
