Chapter 1547

The little girl's eyes were filled with curiosity. She did not show any fear or panic from the beginning. It was obvious that she did not know what was going to happen next.

Zi Chen, who was standing on the mountain peak in the distance, watched the two enter the pool with his own eyes.

Zi Chen had already predicted the outcome. He remained calm and waited quietly like the others.

During this time, some people guessed the girl's identity. Some said she was the tall man's daughter, some said she was his maid, and some said she was his concubine. There were all kinds of guesses, but no one guessed that the girl was a sacrificial object, a person who was ready to die.

The tall man was destined to return empty-handed. Next, Zi Chen had to plan a beautiful future for himself, or rather, for the mute girl.

No one was allowed to step into the pool easily. No one was allowed to enter within a thousand meters of the pool. Trespassers were killed.

In addition to the tall man and the girl, Dong Qing also followed into the pool. About a quarter of an hour later, a surge of power emerged from the bottom of the pool, and a thick pillar of water shot out from the pool.

Along with the water column, there was an angry roar.

The water column spread out in the sky and fell down like a heavy rain.

As the rain fell, two more people appeared beside the pool.

One was the tall man, the other was Dong Qing. As for the girl, she was nowhere to be seen.

The tall man, who had been glowing with excitement, now looked gloomy. Behind him, Dong Qing lowered her head and did not even dare to breathe loudly.

Even from a thousand meters away, the crowd could still feel the oppressive aura released by the tall man. Zi Chen's expression changed drastically after he felt the oppressive aura.

"Fifth-level Heaven. He must have the strength of a Fifth-level Heaven."

Zi Chen felt bitter in his heart and told himself to be very careful.

In the Nether Realm, he could kill a Fifth-level Domain expert with one strike because he had the Domain World and the element of surprise. However, in this place, Zi Chen did not have the confidence to kill a Fifth-level Domain expert.

"Go and send a message back. Say that the primer is ineffective and fake," the tall man said in a deep voice.

Dong Qing accepted the order and left. The tall man cast his cold gaze into the distance. In his mind, he was thinking about the battle that happened twelve years ago in the Zhou family's outer mansion.

It was said that it was a battle to clean up the family. Back then, when he was some distance away from the battle, he saw an old man named Zhou Tong from afar. He was from the Zhou family and was an elder at that. It was said that for some unknown reason, he wanted to leave the Zhou family. When he was escaping with his family of four, he was discovered and a great battle ensued.

In that battle, the Zhou Clan had mobilized many experts, and many of them had also fallen. However, in the end, they had killed Elder Zhou Tong and his daughter-in-law. As for the little girl, she had survived.

He, who had witnessed the battle with his own eyes, found it strange at that time. Why were the three of them so powerful, but that little girl had no strength at all? She was a pure mortal.

What was even more strange was why they didn't kill the mortal girl after killing the three of them.

It was on that day that his status as a guest elder took another step forward, and he became a member of the Zhou Clan. In the eyes of the Zhou Clan, he was one of their own.

The next day, he saw the mortal girl and found out the secret behind it.

Twelve years later, he left the Zhou Clan with the little girl and began a twelve-year journey to search for the special energy waves.

In order to not attract attention, he had been extremely careful in this matter. He didn't dare to make a big fuss about it, but he had been fruitless for twelve years.

Until some time ago, a senior in the Zhou Clan who was proficient in the art of divination had sent him a message. Only then did he know the approximate location, and then began to search for the energy waves with great fanfare.

But who would have thought that this secret, which was known to very few people and had been guarded for twelve years, was actually a fake?

Was the Zhou Clan mistaken, or had they been schemed against?

The tall man couldn't figure it out. He couldn't figure it out.

After completing this mission, although he couldn't say that he had reached the heavens in a single bound, his future in the Shuntian Prefecture would definitely be bright.

Furthermore, he had worked hard for twelve whole years. Just as he was about to succeed, all his efforts had been for naught.

He was unwilling to accept this.

After dismissing everyone, he sat alone by the pool in a daze. Dong Qing had gone to pass on the message.

Zi Chen and the other realms stood on a mountain peak in the distance. He wasn't careless just because there was only one person left by the pool. On the contrary, he was more willing to face a group of people than a fifth stage Domain Realm cultivator.

Since the other party was sitting by the pool, Zi Chen could only wait. This was because after secretly releasing his spiritual senses, he sensed that the tall man had already spread his spiritual senses all around, although he seemed to be indifferent.

The other party was being so cautious, not only because of Zi Chen, but also because he was guarding against the surrounding realms that were hiding in the realms.

Recently, these realms had been restless.

The tall man stared at the pool in a daze. Suddenly, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand to release a beam of energy.

The energy exploded on his left, and a figure appeared.

This person had the strength of a second stage Domain Realm cultivator, but after his figure appeared, his expression changed drastically, and he prepared to escape without a word.

"Die."

A cold shout came from the tall man's mouth. Then, a Domain World appeared and forcefully enveloped the second stage Domain Realm. Immediately after, a fist light appeared and struck the second stage Domain Realm, whose speed was greatly reduced.

His Domain World was shattered by the punch, and a powerful force poured into his body.

The second stage Domain Realm cultivator's body began to glow and then exploded.

The energy shook, and the second stage Domain Realm cultivator died.

All around, there was dead silence.

This was the first time in a few days that a Domain Realm cultivator had dared to try to approach the pool. This person thought that his concealment technique was brilliant, but it was obvious that the tall man's technique was better.

This scene intimidated some of the people around who were eager to give it a try.

Zi Chen was furious. This reckless fool. Even a fifth stage Domain Realm cultivator could not do anything about it, so why did he want to join in the fun? Now that he had alerted the enemy, it was even more difficult for him to make a move.

After observing for a few days, that fellow obviously did not trust anyone other than Dong Qing. At this moment, he was guarding the pool alone. With the strength of a fifth stage Domain Realm cultivator, there was no other way except for many cultivators to attack.

Fortunately, Zi Chen was very patient.

This news quickly spread to the mysterious Zhou Family.

When the person in charge of this matter heard the news from Dong Qing, he was surprised and furious.

He thought that he had killed Zhou Tong, but he did not expect to be tricked by Zhou Tong.

"Don't be too emotional. Whoever started the trouble should end it." Just as the person in charge was about to explode, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Ancestor, please enlighten me." That person respectfully knelt in the hall.

"The person who ended the trouble is in that area. If you look carefully, you will definitely find him."

After saying this, the voice disappeared.

The person in charge was slightly startled, but he understood the meaning of this sentence. Then, he ordered, "Zhou Tong is definitely not dead. The catalyst must be by his side. Go and find him. Quickly find him."

The urgent news was quickly transmitted to Dong Qing. Seven days later, the latter returned to the side of the pool.

Dong Qing whispered a few words in the tall man's ear, and the latter nodded.

"This area is not big, but it is not small either. It is easier said than done to find two people who have been hiding for twelve years." The tall man smiled bitterly.

Dong Qing stood at the side with her head lowered and did not say a word.

After pondering for a moment, the tall man ordered, "Pass down the order. Use all forces to find the mute in this area."

Dong Qing's eyes lit up. He instantly understood the lord's meaning.

Dong Qing left. This time, he took dozens of Domain Realm experts with him.

Soon after, a huge reward was spread in this area. The content of the reward was to find a mute.

It did not matter if the mutes were male or female. As long as one was found, they would be rewarded with ten thousand reality fragments.

This reward could be said to be huge.

As a result, there was a wave of people trying to catch the mute in this area.

This was because it was useless to just provide clues. They had to see the person.

During the process, some normal people became mutes. They were forcibly taken away and sent to the place where the news was received.

Two days later, Dong Qing saw too many mutes. However, they were not the person he was looking for. Moreover, many of them had their tongues cut out to make up the numbers.

The tall man had no choice but to issue another reward. He only wanted mute mortals.

Thus, on the second day, there were many more mortals whose cultivations were crippled.

After a round of frenzied killing of these scammers, a third reward was issued.

It only wanted mute mortals. Priority was given to those with old people.

With the previous example, there were too few who dared to deceive this time. In just half a month, they narrowed down the targets to two. After another day, they targeted the small tavern.

Dong Qing went to the tavern to investigate. He found that the entire tavern was enveloped by a powerful aura. However, the person they were looking for was not inside.

After asking the staff, they could not tell where the boss was. They only said that he had left a while ago.

In addition, Dong Qing also learned that in addition to the grandfather and grandson, there was an ugly person following them. It was that ugly person who killed Mo Sixiu with one punch.

The aura outside the tavern made Dong Qing's heart palpitate. He was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he did not ask any more questions and turned back.

After listening to Dong Qing's report, the tall man looked at Dong Qing and asked, "Are you sure they are still there?"

"I can't be sure. However, based on my perception and knowledge, I suspect that the entire tavern is a complex formation. There are killing formations and illusory formations." Dong Qing hesitated and did not dare to be sure.

"That old man was able to deceive everyone back then, even me. Naturally, he has some skills. However, even if that old man is not dead, he should have paid a great price for his scheme back then. There is nothing to be afraid of. However, that ugly person was able to kill Mo Sixiu with one punch and only used the strength of his physical body. Interesting. I originally wanted to see if there was anything strange about him after I was done with this matter. I didn't expect that he would be related to this matter by a freak combination of factors. Let's go take a look."

As he spoke, the tall man stood up and left the pool. Dong Qing walked in front and led the way.

After the two of them left, the group of Domain Realm cultivators once again came up to protect the pool.

Zi Chen, who had planned meticulously several times, finally found an opportunity. He left the mountain peak without hesitation. His figure disappeared and hid in the void in a secluded place.
