Chapter 1802

The doubts in his heart finally had an answer.

Zi Chen couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. Young Master Tian was such a scheming person. Since he saw the lightning saint beast, how could he not make use of it?

The lightning saint beast was known as the ancestor of the lightning clan. It was naturally an extremely powerful existence back then. Its drop in realm was only temporary. Although it couldn't be said to be able to recover to its peak in a short period of time, at least it had walked far in the realm of Sector Lord.

However, because the lightning saint beast had other matters to attend to, it didn't participate in this battle. During this period, it secretly sent them some trump cards. When Zi Chen entered Mai En's world, Mai En used a trump card that was specially used to deal with Absolute Realm experts.

As for why Tang Nuo was able to kill three by himself, other than his own battle strength, the trump card given by the lightning saint beast was also important.

"What's this?"

This was the reason Zi Chen guessed when he heard about the lightning saint beast. Then, he curiously took the item from Tang Nuo.

It was a round ball that emitted gentle lightning. It looked like an ordinary lightning ball and there was nothing special about it.

Tang Nuo shook his head and said, "The lightning saint beast didn't say. It only said that you will understand once you see it."

Hearing this, Zi Chen was even more curious. Then, he used his spiritual sense to probe it.

"Brat, being able to hear the voice of this ancestor proves that you are still alive. Moreover, the crisis of the Shuntian Prefecture has already been resolved. First, I congratulate you for coming back alive. You are the most talented person I have ever seen. In addition, your luck is not bad. Fortunately, since this ancestor came, I left you a small gift."

The lightning saint beast's voice stopped here. It didn't say what the small gift was. Zi Chen's spiritual sense probed again.

After a moment, he retracted his spiritual sense and opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with shock.

Seeing Zi Chen's expression, Tang Nuo asked curiously, "What is it?"

"Emperor level body refinement technique."

After hearing Zi Chen's words, even Tang Nuo, the Mansion Master, sucked in a breath of cold air.

Emperor level techniques were hard to come by. As for body refinement techniques, it was even more so. He didn't expect the lightning saint beast to leave something like this for Zi Chen.

Then, Tang Nuo sighed, "The lightning saint beast is known as the ancestor of the lightning clan. It's not strange for him to take out something like this."

Then, Tang Nuo asked, "What are you going to do next?"

Zi Chen said, "I'm going to visit a few cities. I wonder what the situation is like in those cities."

Tang Nuo did not ask for the specific reason. He believed that Zi Chen had a sense of propriety.

In reality, Zi Chen's question was completely unnecessary. Although the entire Shuntian Prefecture was said to have 653 cities, the strongest power was still within the Shuntian Prefecture.

Just like Huping City's City Lord, Mu Feng, who was only at the Fifth Stage Domain Realm back then, the City Lords of other cities were at the Ninth Stage Domain Realm at most.

Among the top ranked cities, there were definitely Sector Lords, but the number was very limited.

The World Overlord Realm wasn't something that everyone could step into. Even if they could, not everyone would be able to break through.

The reason why Zi Chen and the others were able to comprehend the Realm Energy was because they had gone to the depths of the Sterilization Battlefield and thoroughly analyzed the Realm Energy. That was why they were able to comprehend it so easily.

Otherwise, if Zi Chen wanted to rely on his own comprehension of the world force to break through, it would take him tens of thousands of years or even hundreds of thousands of years.

As for Shang Guan Hong and the others, because the law they comprehended was too special, it would take them a long time to break through.

Those who had left back then gradually returned to the Shuntian Prefecture. They gradually knew what had happened in the Shuntian Prefecture.

Seeing that even a Perfect Earthly Sovereign, Mai En, was talking to Zi Chen as an equal, the other Sector Lords naturally didn't dare to be arrogant.

Without staying in the Shuntian Prefecture for too long, Zi Chen left with the seven of them.

They first arrived at Shuntian City. As the number one city in the Shuntian Prefecture, it was still very lively even after a great reshuffle.

Now, the entire city was talking about the purge incident.

Gradually, Zi Chen also found out about Young Master Tian's scheme. When he found out that the Zhou Clan had been completely annihilated, with only a few surviving members escaping outside, and even the branches had been annihilated, Zi Chen was shocked.

Apart from that, there were also many large clans in the 653 cities that had been purged. Back then, there were one or two clans that had conflicts with Zi Chen.

After arriving at the Shuntian Prefecture, Zi Chen and the others didn't make a scene. Instead, they chose to return in a low-profile manner. They stayed for two days and drank with a Shuntian Dao. On the third day, they left.

Shuntian Dao didn't choose to stay. Instead, they left with Zi Chen.

Their second destination was the Hidden Fog City.

This time, they didn't choose to use the teleportation array. Instead, they walked towards the Hidden Fog City.

What happened in the Shuntian Prefecture had already spread to the other cities. News of Zi Chen and the others' deeds had also spread.

When Zi Chen arrived outside the Hidden Fog City, he saw a large group of people outside the city. The city gate was already under martial law. Many cultivators stood on both sides in silence.

In front of them stood three people. The leader was a man in black clothes.

"What's going on?"

Seeing this scene from afar, Zi Chen and the others stopped.

"It seems to be a welcoming ceremony," said Wu Xie as he looked ahead.

"A welcoming ceremony? Could it be that a big shot is coming? Why are they making such a big scene?" Zi Chen was stunned. He didn't understand what was going on.

Shuntian Dao glanced at Zi Chen and said, "That's right. You're the big shot they're waiting for."

"Me? How is that possible?" Zi Chen was shocked. He didn't seem to have anything to do with a big shot.

"Why is it impossible? You're the variable in Young Master Tian's deduction. It can be said that Shuntian Prefecture won because of you. You saved the entire Shuntian Prefecture and even killed a Nascent Perfection Realm expert instantly. If you're not a big shot, what are you?"

Shuntian Dao said, "Your mentality hasn't changed, but your status has. Let's not talk about what you've done. Just the fact that you came back alive from the Battlefield of Despair is enough to make you a big shot in the 653 cities. Of course, you're not the only one. We're big shots too."

When Man Shi heard this, he scratched his head and said, "I'm a big shot too."

"A very, very big shot," Shuntian Dao repeated.

In this place, Shuntian Dao had the most right to speak because Zi Chen and the others were the first to arrive in Shuntian City. If it wasn't for him blocking the way, Zi Chen's door would have been trampled to pieces on the day Zi Chen arrived.

The current Zi Chen's status in Shuntian Prefecture had already surpassed the previous strongest person in the Domain, Human-Devil Token.

Sure enough, when Zi Chen and the others stopped, the three people leading the group outside the Hidden Fog City took the initiative to walk over.

"I didn't know that Lord Zi Chen would be coming. Sorry for not coming out to meet you."

The leading black-clothed man immediately smiled apologetically.

Zi Chen didn't seem to be used to this kind of friendliness.

"I'm the City Lord of Hidden Fog City, Lord Zi Chen. Please come in," the City Lord said.

"This time, I'm here to look for someone," Zi Chen didn't walk forward and said directly.

"Looking for someone?" The City Lord was startled.

"Hidden Fog Shadow's family."

Speaking of Hidden Fog Shadow, Zi Chen's expression became gloomy. The others behind him also lowered their heads.

"Little Shadow's family? Then I'm his father," the City Lord said.

Zi Chen was a little surprised. His expression immediately became serious as he bowed deeply to the City Lord.

"Lord Zi Chen, you can't do this. You can't do this." The City Lord hurriedly walked forward and tried to help Zi Chen up.

Behind him, the other two were also startled. They didn't understand Zi Chen's actions.

"I'm sorry that I couldn't bring Hidden Fog Shadow back," Zi Chen said.

"I'm sorry."

Behind Zi Chen, Man Shi and the others all bowed to express their apologies.

Although he had expected this, the City Lord still had a trace of sadness on his face when he heard Zi Chen's words. However, when he saw Zi Chen and the others' expressions, he quickly said, "We already knew about Little Shadow's matter. Before he left, we already expected this. We cultivators cultivate against the heavens. How can we be afraid of death? Lord Zi Chen, please follow me into the city."

Zi Chen stood up and said, "Hidden Fog Shadow and I are sworn brothers. You're his father, so you're our elder. You can call me Zi Chen."

Seeing Zi Chen's determined expression, the City Lord didn't pretend anymore. He nodded and said, "Alright. Zi Chen, quickly follow me into the city. If you stay outside the city, people will think that we didn't treat you well."

Zi Chen followed the City Lord into the city. Along the way, everyone curiously looked at Zi Chen and the others.

These people were all legendary figures in the Shuntian Prefecture.

Unfortunately, a part of the glory should belong to the Hidden Fog City. However, Hidden Fog Shadow was no longer here.

When they arrived at the City Lord's mansion, all the banquets were canceled according to Zi Chen's request. After that, Zi Chen signaled everyone to leave.

In the hall, apart from Zi Chen's group of eight, only the City Lord was left.

Previously, he didn't care much. However, now that there were no outsiders around, the grief on his face finally showed. "Can you tell me more about Little Shadow?"

This was the expression a father should have after hearing about his son's death. What he did before was just the strong side he had to show as the City Lord.

"He was very brave …"

Zi Chen told him about Hidden Fog Shadow's deeds in the Battlefield of Despair. Hidden Fog Shadow, who already had the Devouring God Seal, would definitely become an influential figure once he left the Battlefield of Despair.

Unfortunately, he died on the Dragon Boat.

After listening silently, the City Lord's father nodded and said, "Very good. My son didn't disgrace the Hidden Fog City. I will be proud of him."

Zi Chen stood up and apologized again. Then, he took out the two Imperial Armaments that he had prepared beforehand.

"This is …" Hidden Fog's father looked at Zi Chen with a puzzled expression.

"This is what we obtained from the depths of the world. Each of us has one. One is an Imperial Armament and one is an Imperial Armor."

"What?!"

The City Lord immediately stood up. He couldn't be blamed for having such a big reaction. Any Realm Lord would have the same reaction when they heard about an Imperial Armament. Although the City Lord wasn't a Realm Lord yet, there were Realm Lords in his family. Naturally, he knew how precious an Imperial Armament was.

"This is what Hidden Fog Shadow deserves."

While speaking, Zi Chen put down the Imperial Armament and Imperial Armor. However, he was stopped by the City Lord. He was very clear about the value of these two items. These two items could be exchanged for the service of a Perfect Earthly Immortal. In terms of value, a Ninth Stage Domain Realm expert like Hidden Fog Shadow couldn't compare to these two Imperial Armaments. "I appreciate your kindness. However, I can't keep these items."
