Chapter 256

Zi Chen was caught in a dilemma.

The seven major forces and three major sects were like a mountain pressing down on his head, making it hard for him to breathe.

Zi Chen was already overwhelmed by the three major forces, not to mention all the major forces in the southern region.

If he really offended them, Zi Chen could only die of old age in the mountains in the future.

As for leaving the southern region, that was even more of a dream. With his legs, he couldn't run out even if he ran until his legs broke.

"Elder Hiroshi, do you think I should go or not?"

Elder Hiroshi also had no idea and fell into contemplation.

"Going is dangerous, not going is even more dangerous." Elder Hiroshi shook his head. "Unfortunately, you're too weak."

A man and a soul fell into a dilemma.

The invitations of the seven major cities and three major sects also contained some threats, making Zi Chen unable to determine whether they were being kind or not.

"It shouldn't be. They're all major forces and they value face very much. Even if they don't want one or two, they still want the others. They won't gang up to deceive you."

"Besides, if you really don't go, I'm afraid you won't have a place to hide in the future. If the seven major cities and three major sects are determined to find someone, you'll have to go into the mountains and forests where there's no human habitation."

"Furthermore, it's not like everyone can't see through your ability to change your appearance. There are always some special people in this world with some special techniques. That monk is not simple. I suspect that he can see through your true appearance."

In the end, Elder Hiroshi said, "Go, but don't show your true face. Go to Cangli City first and take a look. Be careful. If you find something wrong, blend into the crowd and escape."

Zi Chen nodded. That was the only thing he could do now.

Moreover, the major forces only spread such a sentence and didn't force him.

Zi Chen turned back and walked towards Cangli City.

The gathering of geniuses was considered a grand event in the southern region, so it naturally attracted many young talents.

Furthermore, apart from the major powers, it was also possible for other people to participate. There were not many restrictions.

Just participate.

Of course, geniuses in their seventies and eighties were excluded.

Along the way, Zi Chen saw many cultivators walking in groups. He blended into the crowd and headed towards the Cangli City.

"Hey, friend, what's your name?" A young cultivator asked. He was also alone.

"Ah Luo." Zi Chen smiled kindly.

"That's a good name. I'm Ah Tian. Looks like we're really fated."

The young man was smiling. He wasn't very old, perhaps even younger than Zi Chen. His features were delicate and pretty, and he wore a smile on his face. His personality was very cheerful.

Zi Chen smiled and didn't say anything else. Obviously, he wasn't used to chatting with a stranger.

But A 'Tian was very cheerful and always had a smile on his face. "You're from Cangli City, right?"

Ah Tian was very talkative. Just like any other young man, he loved to gossip and asked questions that Zi Chen couldn't answer.

"Oh yes, when I came here, they were all talking about Zi Chen and Wang Xian 'er. Can you tell me more about it? I heard that the two of them have an ambiguous relationship." Ah Tian smiled mysteriously.

"You know Zi Chen?" Zi Chen looked at A 'Tian and his expression changed.

A 'Tian shook his head and continued smiling. "I don't know him."

"Then you know Wang Xian 'er."

A 'Tian continued shaking his head and smiling. "I don't know her. I heard that Wang Xian' er is as beautiful as a fairy. She's a demon with strong combat strength. When she got to know Zi Chen, Zi Chen was only at the True Energy Realm. But he actually managed to capture the heart of a demon at the True Energy Realm. There must be something interesting going on."

A 'Tian was very cheerful, but he had a gossipy heart. The fire of gossip was burning in his heart.

Zi Chen was helpless. Along the way, he had heard a lot about Wang Xian 'er. Some of the rumors were more or less based on facts, while some were based on wild imagination. Zi Chen wasn't willing to answer this question. He could only say, "I don't know."

But in his heart, he thought of that beautiful figure. It was just that the two of them met was too different from the rumors. Back then, he had almost killed her.

"But she was also the one who wouldn't let go of me." Thinking of the past, Zi Chen smiled.

"Ah, you're drooling. You must be thinking of a woman." A cry of surprise woke Zi Chen from his thoughts. A 'Tian was staring at him.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Zi Chen glared at A 'Tian.

"You're still denying it. If you're not thinking of a woman, why is there saliva at the corner of your mouth?"

"No, don't talk nonsense." Zi Chen wiped his mouth without a trace. Indeed, there was no saliva.

A 'Tian laughed.

Ah Tian's personality was very cheerful, and he was very friendly. He always had a smile on his face, but when night fell, Zi Chen would feel that Ah Tian's body would emit a lonely aura. He was like a lonely old wolf, licking his wounds in the night.

Along the way, there was almost no danger. Zi Chen just treated A 'Tian as a passerby, an ordinary friend. When they reached Cangli City, they parted ways. But what he never expected was that A' Tian's battle strength was comparable to a monstrous genius.

It was a very melodramatic scene. On the road, the two of them met an unreasonable playboy who said that the two of them were blocking their way.

The road was wide, but it was not wide enough for the playboy's strange beast to walk through.

The other party was aggressive and unreasonable. Zi Chen frowned. He did not want to cause trouble now as he was afraid of exposing his identity.

A 'Tian kept laughing, but when his smile disappeared, he quickly attacked.

"Peng." "Peng."

With a simple push and a pull, the guard behind the wastrel was knocked down. This was the wastrel's trump card. Both of them were at the Sixth Sky of True Energy. As for the wastrel, he was knocked down by the force, falling down like a dog eating mud.

Zi Chen blushed with shame at being able to take down the two of them so easily. He knew that he could at most kill the two of them, but it was impossible for him to take down the two of them so easily.

Clearly, A 'Tian was hiding his strength.

"Alright, let's go." A smile appeared on A 'Tian's face again.

"You are not from Cangli City." Zi Chen suddenly asked. This was the first time he asked A 'Tian.

"Yes, I am from Letian City." A 'Tian smiled.

"Letian City." Zi Chen frowned.

Letian City was at the northernmost part of the Southern Continent. As for how far it was, Zi Chen did not know. It was said that it was very far, and there was a legend that if one went north from Letian City, they would be able to leave the Southern Continent.

"You are here to join the genius gathering."

"I came out to relax and happened to come across this gathering. I found it interesting, so I came to take a look." A 'Tian smiled.

As they approached Cangli City, Zi Chen saw more and more cultivators. Almost all of them were at the True Essence Realm. They were all rushing to Cangli City.

"Damn it, get out of my way. I'm talking to you. Get out of my way."

There were many people at the city gate and it was a little crowded. However, as soon as Zi Chen arrived, he heard a familiar voice.

"Damn it, how dare you block the way. Beat him until his teeth fall out. Then kneel on the ground and call me brother-in-law."

A familiar voice, a familiar tone. Wang Shan was still as arrogant and domineering.

"What are you looking at? Get out of my way. If you delay this young master from entering the city, I will beat you all until you kneel on the ground and call me brother-in-law." Wang Shan's small eyes suddenly widened, looking fierce.

In Yunxia City, the word brother-in-law was almost the same as Wang Shan, becoming a nightmare. However, the playboy Wang Shan did not change his nature in Cangli City.

"This is Yunxia City's Wang Shan. Let's go."

"Yunxia City's playboy. His father is Wang Zhenwei. In Yunxia City, his combat strength is ranked in the top three."

Some people whispered and then hurriedly left. Obviously, they did not want to provoke this lord.

"This guy is still so arrogant." Zi Chen secretly said.

However, he did not pay attention to it. Now, he had to enter the city and inquire about everything.

Cangli City was a big city with a large number of people and endless traffic. This time, the genius gathering was very lively. Even the spacious streets were slightly crowded.

"The place of the genius gathering is in the square of Cangli City."

"It is said that the people of Yunxia City have already arrived. Just now, I saw Wang Shan outside, beating a cultivator. His teeth fell out and he was kneeling on the ground and calling him brother-in-law."

"Martial Ancestor is the closest to here. It is said that the evildoers have already arrived, and there are two of them."

As soon as he entered the city, there were discussions everywhere. Almost without deliberately asking, Zi Chen knew the place of the genius gathering.

In the center of Cangli City was a large square that covered an area of several miles. Some small battles in the city would be held here.

As soon as he arrived, Zi Chen saw a twenty-meter-high platform that many cultivators were building. On the platform, there were three eye-catching blood-red words.

"Chen Beheading Platform."

Obviously, this platform was built for Zi Chen. It was twenty meters high, and the other platforms were only ten meters high.

"These three evildoers are really confident." Zi Chen's eyes flashed with a cold light.

There was still some time before the genius gathering began, and some of the evildoers had not yet appeared. During this time, Zi Chen could cultivate in peace.

The inn was almost full, so Zi Chen rented a room for cultivation at a high price.

A piece of primeval stone contained dense primeval energy. Once a cultivator refined it, they could absorb it.

Zi Chen sat cross-legged, his body emitting a golden light that illuminated the room.

He placed a primeval stone in each of his hands and absorbed its energy.

"Pa." "Pa."

With two light sounds, the primeval stones were completely absorbed. They turned into powder and fell to the ground.

Zi Chen's hand flashed and took out two more primeval stones.

Others absorbed the primeval stones one by one, and it would take a long time to absorb one, but Zi Chen only needed a few hours to finish.

Although breaking through consumed a lot of energy, if there were enough resources, it would not be difficult for Zi Chen to improve his strength quickly.

During the day, Zi Chen would go around the square to see what kind of people were coming.

Cangli City was thriving. Both Cangli Family and Cangli Family did not do anything excessive. All the experts had withdrawn, and the two evildoers seemed to be in seclusion and did not appear recently.

During this period of time, more and more people had gathered in the city, and Zi Chen had also found some familiar faces.

After King Mountain, Zi Chen saw Liu Bo. He was from Yunxia City's Liu Family, but his overall strength was not comparable to Yongqi's Liu Family. The two were not on the same level.

In addition to Liu Bo, Zi Chen also saw Miao Kong's shadow in another morning.
