Chapter 1583

"Shuntian Prefecture and Huping City. That person's name is Zi Chen."

Zi Chen frowned, then glanced at the three of them with a dissatisfied expression. "Shuntian Prefecture has more than a hundred million Domain Realm cultivators, and 653 cities are under its jurisdiction. Do you think I know him? Or is Zi Chen a very famous person, so I should know him? Could it be … that he's even more famous than Mo Ling?"

Ke Lei hurriedly explained, "Although that Zi Chen has some fame, he can't compare to Lord Demon Commander. However, speaking of which, that guy can be considered an extraordinary existence. He forcibly raised Huping City's rank from one hundred and eighth to forty something. It's said that this time, Lord Demon Commander died because of Zi Chen."

Zi Chen pretended to be moved. "What? Lord Mo Ling died because of Zi Chen? Could it be that he killed Lord Mo Ling?"

Ke Lei's face turned pale when he sensed the other party's aura at such a close distance. Fortunately, Zi Chen quickly restrained himself. Ke Lei glanced at Zi Chen gratefully and said, "According to the information, Zi Chen was only at the sixth level and had two special weapons. One was a sheathed black saber, and the other was a very unusual spike-shaped weapon. His combat strength wasn't weak, but he could at most fight someone one level above him. He definitely wasn't a match for Lord Mo Ling. However, Lord Mo Ling died because of Zi Chen's identity."

Ke Lei paused here to keep them in suspense.

The two people beside Ke Lei kept winking at Ke Lei. How dare he keep them in suspense? Was he courting death?

Zi Chen didn't seem to notice their winking and asked curiously, "What identity?"

Ke Lei said clearly, "A foreign race. That fellow's true identity is actually a foreign race."

Zi Chen was slightly angered. "Do you think I'm an idiot? You just said that he was from Huping City and even helped Huping City increase its rank."

Ke Lei's face paled as he hurriedly said, "That was all an illusion. His purpose in doing that was to infiltrate Shuntian Prefecture. It is said that in order to eradicate the Outsiders, Lord Demon Commander personally took action. However, Zi Chen's Outsiders were simply too many. In the end, Lord Demon Commander was no match for them and died."

As he spoke, Ke Lei had a look of regret on his face.

"Is the Demon Commander really dead?" Zi Chen asked with a complicated expression.

Ke Lei didn't notice Zi Chen's abnormality. He nodded and said, "The news is absolutely true. However, the Demon Commander didn't die in vain. When he died, he killed all the outsiders who besieged him, except for Zi Chen. Because he ran fast, he escaped."

Zi Chen's expression became very complicated. He didn't expect this story to turn out like this. He had become an alien, the Mo Ling who protected him had become a hero, and those who wanted to kill him had become his helpers.

"When did this happen? Why didn't I know?"

"Just over a year ago. We only found out about this after receiving the bounty about a year ago."

Zi Chen shook his head and said, "No wonder I didn't know anything. In the blink of an eye, it has been almost 05 years since I left Shuntian Prefecture. I didn't expect Lord Demon Commander to actually fall."

"Yes, the first person to die like this. What a pity."

"That bounty was received by the three of you. I wonder if there is any reward for killing Zi Chen?" Zi Chen asked curiously.

"It wasn't the three of us. The Thirteen Alliances received the bounty at the same time. The reward is very generous. It's an ownerless eighth layer world."

Ke Lei's eyes were filled with envy. "An ownerless eighth layer world. If I can refine it, I can directly advance to the sixth layer."

When Zi Chen heard this, he sucked in a breath of cold air and pretended to be surprised. "Eight layers world. That's a big deal. That's right, the Thirteen Alliances you just mentioned. Where is that?"

"It's an alliance formed by 68 powerhouses of the eighth layer. It's also the biggest power in this area."

Afterwards, Zi Chen learned that although this area belonged to Shuntian Prefecture, it was an area that was not under anyone's jurisdiction.

The so-called Thirteen Alliances were a bunch of people who had occupied a mountain and were kings. They specialized in robbing and robbing.

To put it bluntly, the Thirteen Alliances were thirteen gangs of robbers.

It was said that a year ago, a powerhouse had come here to post a bounty, but no one had seen who it was.

But very soon, this news spread in the Thirteen Alliances.

In addition, there was also a portrait of Zi Chen and the weapon that Zi Chen used. The leader clearly said that regardless of whether he was dead or alive, as long as he brought the weapon back and checked it, he would receive the reward he deserved.

"This year, our Thirteen Alliances almost went all out to look for Zi Chen for a whole year, but we couldn't even find his shadow. After that, we heard that there were similar bounties in other areas. It seems that Zi Chen might not be in our Thirteen Alliances' area."

Ke Lei sighed and said, "Looking for Zi Chen is like looking for a needle in a haystack. After a year without any results, everyone gave up. But who would have thought that our leader would insist on us looking for him. So, we formed a group of eight and came here in the name of looking for Zi Chen to get some resources."

Ke Lei's face had a trace of embarrassment. The eight of them had just met a fourth layer warbeast, but five of them had already died.

Zi Chen smiled and said, "It seems that your leader is very concerned about the reward."

"Maybe, but there's only one reward. If the Thirteen Leaders want it, then I really don't know how to distribute it."

Zi Chen's heart was slightly moved. He immediately asked, "Does your Thirteen Alliances have blacksmiths?"

"Yes, of course."

"When are you going back? I plan to upgrade my spear. It's only a fourth layer now, one level lower than mine. It's not very useful."

Everyone's heart trembled. They finally understood this leader's realm.

When Zi Chen was in the small world, he leveled up too quickly, so much so that the Dragon Soul Spear couldn't keep up.

Upgrading the Dragon Soul Spear was just a reason. One must know that his Dragon Soul Spear could automatically level up.

The reason why he said this was because Zi Chen wanted to meet the Thirteen Leaders. He vaguely felt that there was something wrong with them.

Ke Lei had a difficult expression. "We came out this time with a mission. Now that we haven't completed it and a few of our companions have died, if we go back rashly, I'm afraid that we will be punished."

"I'll give you the reward." Zi Chen said directly.

"My Lord … This isn't about the reward." The three of them were still in a difficult position.

"Not counting the Soul Essence just now, I'll give each of you a fourth layer Soul Essence."

"Ah …" The four of them were obviously startled, but they couldn't say a word.

"Then it's settled."

After Zi Chen finished speaking, he continued to enjoy his time alone.

Half an hour later, a strong wind suddenly blew in the forest, and a huge tiger appeared. The tiger's body flashed with a black light, and its fur seemed to be made of black iron, emitting a cold light.

Its eyes were as deep as an abyss, making people feel as if they were about to sink into them.

The black tiger's body surged with a tyrannical aura, and the three of them were shocked. One of them exclaimed, "This is a fourth level beast."

"It's a Black Nether Tiger, a higher life form." Ke Lei shouted, his eyes filled with despair.

They were all fourth level beasts, but higher life forms were much stronger than normal beasts. If the three of them encountered such an existence, only death would await them.

The three of them kept looking at Zi Chen. Their only hope now was that this leader was strong enough.

But after the Black Nether Tiger appeared, it didn't attack. It only glared at the three of them. In the next moment, a few huge objects flew out from behind the Black Nether Tiger, smashing heavily in front of them.

"That's …"

The ground shook. Seeing the huge objects on the ground, the three of them were stunned.

There were three beasts, and all of them were dead.

The three of them looked up at the Black Nether Tiger in confusion, only to see it walk straight to the powerful leader and lie down beside him, retracting its tyrannical aura.

"Sir, this is your pet, this is … a higher life form Black Nether Tiger." The three of them widened their eyes, and Ke Lei asked in a trembling voice.

"It's just a bloodline, not a pure one." Zi Chen replied indifferently. Fortunately, the Black Nether Tiger closed its eyes.

The three of them sucked in a breath of cold air, their faces full of shock.

To be able to tame a higher life form beast, they had a deeper understanding of Zi Chen's strength.

"The three beasts were all fourth level when they were alive. After collecting their essence, you guys lead the way."

"Yes, yes." The three of them nodded immediately, unable to hide the shock on their faces.

This time, the three of them had reaped a huge reward.

"Sir, you've actually tamed a Black Nether Tiger! Amazing! Truly amazing!" On the way back, the three of them were full of compliments.

"It's not really tamed. It's just that I wanted to help it out when I saw it heavily injured. In the end, it followed me from place to place to train." Zi Chen still had a favor to ask of the Thunder Saint Beast, so he had to give it some face in front of others.

The loyalty of beasts was unquestionable. Hearing this, the three of them were filled with envy, wondering why they hadn't encountered such a good thing.

The 68 Alliances were located in 68 different regions.

The region Ke Lei was in was called Wusside. Why was it such a weird name? That was because their leader was called Wusside.

The leader was only at the eighth level, while Ke Lei was at the fourth level. Hence, he was considered to be above average.

After arriving at Wusside, Ke Lei first arranged for Zi Chen to stay before contacting a blacksmith for Zi Chen.

As for the remuneration, it was obviously up to the blacksmith to negotiate with Zi Chen.

Not long after he left, Ke Lei was stopped by someone who was also at the fourth level. However, this person was one level higher than Ke Lei.

"Ke Lei, I heard that you brought someone back." The person asked directly.

"Does it have anything to do with you?" Ke Lei stared at the person unkindly.

The person laughed coldly and said, "Of course it has nothing to do with me. However, Sir Late Ming is looking for you. He wants to ask you why you've returned so quickly. Have you found the person?"

Ke Lei's expression changed when he heard Sir Late Ming.

"Let's go. Don't just stand there."

Ke Lei had no choice but to look for Sir Late Ming.
