Chapter 4192

It wasn't a coincidence that he had come to this tavern. As he was passing by, Zi Chen had sensed a strange energy fluctuation coming from the tavern, so he had entered out of curiosity.

Perhaps other people wouldn't have been able to see anything out of the ordinary, but Zi Chen had sensed that the innkeeper's aura was unstable. He had most likely been injured.

Combining that with what he had heard, he guessed that the innkeeper was the person the Demon Snake Guard was looking for.

Only by refining Demonic Energy and becoming a Demon would he be able to rid himself of this suspicion. Otherwise, as the innkeeper had said, even if he wasn't the real culprit, the Demon Snake Guard would still find him as a scapegoat.

Zi Chen had no intention of getting involved in this matter, nor was he able to help. All he could do was give the energy he had obtained from Huai Clan City to the innkeeper. Perhaps it would save his life.

Once he was targeted and refined, it would be too late.

The innkeeper watched Zi Chen leave, his mood somewhat complicated. He looked at the energy again and laughed. "I thought he was just a silly kid who had never seen the hardships of the world, but he was actually a hidden expert. It seems that I, Yuan Hai, made a mistake this time."

He picked up the energy and examined it carefully. "That old man said that if I made a mistake even once, I wouldn't be far from death.

If I wasn't mistaken, this should be pure Demonic Energy from the Demon Snake Guard, and it's only sold internally.

Is he one of the leaders of the Demon Snake Guard?

You're here to recruit me this time?

Or did he kill a Demon Snake Guard and obtain this energy?

"But since my fate has already been decided, I can't become a Demon. Let alone me, Xiao Shan, you can't agree, right?"

Yuan Hai put away the energy that Zi Chen had given him, then walked behind the counter and pulled out a jar of wine from a hidden compartment in the corner.

The wine was sealed with mud, and it was covered with dust. It was impossible to tell how long it had been stored there.

"Little Shan, this is something that Father personally brewed and stored away when you were born. It comes from an ancient legend, supposedly from the Saint Spirit Realm. That is the place where our Spirit Race lives. The Spirit Race living there are all equal, just like the Demon Race in this world.

It's said that this wine is called Daughter's Red. It's stored on the day of your daughter's birth and can only be opened on the day of your marriage.

Unfortunately, Father has waited for hundreds of years and still hasn't seen that day. "

Yuan Hai gently exerted his strength, causing ripples to spread out. The mud seal fell off, and the aroma of wine wafted out.

"Wait patiently for father over there. Father will be there soon."

If you don't drink it today, you'll never have it again. "

Yuan Hai picked up the wine jug and began to pour the wine into his mouth. He did not pour it quickly, as if he was worried that the wine would spill out.

Zi Chen left the tavern and strolled leisurely. Occasionally, he would go to a shop and buy some street snacks.

Two people stood in the sky, silently watching this scene.

In fact, they had been standing there for a long time, looking down at the people entering and leaving the tavern.

Both of them wore green robes embroidered with the image of a black snake. One of them held a black bead in his hand. The bead constantly emitted ripples, but the ripples did not spread out. Instead, they merged with the surrounding space.

"Find out who the other party is."

Seeing Zi Chen leave, the person holding the bead said.

The other person just nodded and did not do anything. After a while, he said, "It is said that he is an outsider who just came to Demon City. He invited Yuan Hai to drink a few jugs of wine and asked about the Spirit Race.

Yuan Hai told him a few stories about the Spirit Race. It is said that the young man was quite moved.

Yuan Hai chatted a bit more and drank a few more jugs of wine. He must have thought of him as a hothead. "

"Of all times, he came at this time. Isn't it too much of a coincidence?"

"Go investigate immediately. If there is anything suspicious, immediately arrest him and interrogate him."

"Yes."

"Also, after dark, slowly close the net, but don't kill him immediately. Give him a way out. This time, we must find his accomplices."

"Yes!"

Zi Chen strolled leisurely on the streets, unaware that his every move was being watched.

Although he had stayed in Demon City for a few days, Zi Chen had always stayed in the Lian Clan's ruined room and did not wander around the city.

During this time, he used his soul power to investigate his surroundings and found a few people who were extremely skilled in concealment. They seemed to be searching for something.

In a short three days, the Lian Clan had been searched three times, but from beginning to end, no one in the Lian Clan had discovered him.

And from beginning to end, these people did not go to the room he had smashed, as if they were certain that no one could be hiding there.

This time, he wanted to take a good look around the city and see how different this world was.

As for the money to buy things, Zi Chen still had some on him. He had accumulated them in Huai Clan City.

But he had left in a hurry. Zi Chen regretted that he had left in a hurry. He should have gone to the City Lord's Mansion to take a look. Who knows, he might have gained a lot.

After walking for a while, Zi Chen stopped in front of a stall and looked at some small items. He inadvertently turned his head and seemed to see a shadow disappear around the corner.

His expression did not change. He put down the item in his hand and continued walking.

During this time, he used his soul power to carefully sense the surroundings.

After a while, he made a discovery.

"Am I being followed?"

Zi Chen looked up at the sky. It was almost dark. He decided to find a place to rest first. He found a nearby inn.

As soon as the sky darkened, an army surrounded the street where Yuan Hai's tavern was and slowly approached.

The area was already under martial law.

Yuan Hai sat at a table with a jar of wine beside him. There was not a drop left in it. The air was filled with a faint wine fragrance.

His eyes were filled with reminiscence. His expression was changing. Some were happy, but most were painful.

"Just come in. The door isn't closed. What are you hesitating for?"

Yuan Hai threw away the empty wine jar beside him and stood up.

The people hiding outside immediately swarmed in.

There was a huge boom!

The roof of the tavern flew up and exploded in the sky. During this time, there were also figures flying backward.

The aura of a three-star Holy Spirit erupted. Yuan Hai waved his hand and a beam of Holy Spirit light flew forward.

The dozens of demons that came after him were all cleaved in half.

"What's the point of sending these ants?

Why don't you just send out your devil spirits? "

Yuan Hai moved forward, killing in all directions. He did not show any mercy. One demon soldier after another fell.

At this moment, on a nearby street, there were four drunken fellows who were walking unsteadily.

Suddenly, a person fell from the sky and smashed in front of them, scaring the four.

The four of them subconsciously wanted to curse out loud, but when they saw the armor on the person who landed, their expressions changed.

They looked up at the sky.

They saw a person standing in the sky, killing in all directions.

"That is …?"

Even if it was dark, the four could still see the face of the person clearly. One by one, their faces changed greatly.

It turned out to be the shopkeeper named Yuan Hai. When did he become so powerful?

At this moment, Yuan Hai glanced at the four, a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
