Chapter 453

Miserable shrieks continued to rise and fall. The man in black was being tormented quite badly. He was as arrogant as he was before, but now, he was in a sorry state. Shangguan Feixiong walked over and expressed his heartfelt gratitude.

As the leader of the Primal Core experts, he did not put on any airs. Instead, he was very approachable. His continuous gratitude made Zi Chen and the monk feel a little embarrassed.

"We are friends. We will not leave you in the lurch," Zi Chen said in the end.

Yue Xianzi blamed herself. Everything that happened was because of her. Shangguan Feixiong comforted her.

The screams continued for an hour. The black-clothed man went from being a tough guy to cursing and begging for mercy. His voice went from shrill and sharp to hoarse before finally disappearing.

After that, the group returned. One of them held a Primal Core in his bloodied hand. The man in black was tortured to death.

Yue Xianzi, who was in a better mood, told Shangguan Feixiong about her escape. The other Primal Core experts were also listening.

When they heard that Zi Chen and Tyrant were the only ones protecting them along the way, their eyes were filled with shock.

They asked themselves. Even if they were in Yue Xianzi's shoes, they could not guarantee that they could protect the little princess. However, the two of them managed to survive for a month under the pursuit of so many Primal Core experts. It was a miracle.

The Primal Core experts looked at the two of them in a completely different way. They were shocked and full of admiration.

"Heroes indeed come from the young."

Shangguan Feixiong sighed. Whether it was the protection from before or the teleportation formation, he was amazed.

Zi Chen did not dare to say that he was flattered.

"Sister Yue Er." A surprised voice came from afar.

Following the voice, a young and pretty girl appeared. Her face was filled with excitement.

"Sister Bingxi." Yue Er turned her head and looked at the approaching figure. She was surprised.

"Sister Yue Er, you are really fine. That's great. Seems like father did not lie to me."

The young girl came forward. She had a slim figure and good looks. She pounced on Yue Er. Behind her were a few Primal Core experts.

"Sir." A few people walked up and bowed to Shangguan Fei Xiong. Shangguan Bing Xi also sweetly called him father.

Shangguan Bingxi was Shangguan Feixiong's daughter. Seeing that his daughter was fine, the latter nodded and asked the Core Core experts, "How is it?"

"The Barbarian Bull Stronghold, Sunset Mountain, Wu Liufeng, and Black Dragon Pool have all been leveled. The Core Primes of Sunset Mountain have all been killed, and the leader of the Barbarian Bull Stronghold is dead. Other than that, more than a dozen other Core Primes have died. We have conducted a thorough search of this area, but we have yet to find any clues about the leader of Black Dragon Pool and Wu Liufeng," one of the Core Primes reported.

When Zi Chen and the monk heard this, they looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

One of the four great powers, the overlords of the central region, had actually been razed to the ground. Furthermore, many Primal Core old monsters had been killed. In addition, the Shangguan family had actually conducted a thorough search of the central region.

This was simply too extravagant.

Shangguan Feixiong nodded and said with a deep voice, "Send a signal to Feihu and the others. Tell them that we have found the little princess. Tell them not to worry and to focus on searching for the other survivors."

"Yes."

After that, Shangguan Feixiong regained his usual friendliness, "Bing 'er, did you have a good time these days?"

Shangguan Bing 'er, who was chatting with Shangguan Yue' er, immediately showed a dissatisfied expression, "Not good at all. It was so boring. I thought there would be a big battle, but it was just a one-sided slaughter. There was no resistance at all. It was so boring."

Shangguan Feixiong still wanted to ask something, but his daughter had already ignored him and was chatting happily with Yue 'er.

"Zi Chen, right? I heard that you came from a barbarian land. I wonder where your master is?" In order to ease the awkwardness, Shangguan Feixiong could only chat with Zi Chen.

"Sister, how did you survive this month? Where are the experts that protected you?" Shangguan Bing 'er asked curiously.

"They are. Let me introduce them to you." Yue 'er smiled.

"What? Two of them?"

Shangguan Bing 'er opened her mouth and showed a shocked expression, "Sister, you must be joking. One is a monk, and the other is a Daoist."

Zi Chen was wearing a Daoist robe, so he was mistaken for a Daoist. As for the monk, he was wearing a monk robe, so he was naturally a monk.

Shangguan Bing 'er had already noticed the two's unusual dressing, "Aren't they your guards?"

Yue 'er shook her head, "They are my friends. We have known each other for a long time. That is the Evil Good Monk, and that is Zi Chen."

"What? He is Zi Chen?" Shangguan Bing 'er exclaimed.

"Yeah, what about it?"

Shangguan Bing 'er sized up Zi Chen from afar and said, "Sister, he is the Zi Chen you were talking about. He is nothing special, not cool at all. What is so good about him?"

Shangguan Yue 'er was speechless, not knowing how to reply.

The other party did not purposely suppress his words. Zi Chen was also startled when he heard it. The monk smiled faintly.

"When I first heard about him, I thought that he was a cold-blooded person who killed a person every ten steps. I didn't expect him to be just an ordinary person. He's just slightly more handsome. Sister, you don't have good taste."

Shangguan Yue 'er's face turned red.

"Right, didn't you say he was dead? How did he come back to life?" Bing 'er asked curiously.

She did not suppress her voice, and many people heard it. Yue 'er could not find words to describe this lively and carefree sister of hers.

One moment he was ordinary, the next he was mediocre, and the next he was dead. Zi Chen felt awkward when he heard it.

Luckily, Shangguan Feixiong coughed and said, "Bing 'er, don't be rude to this young hero. He saved your sister, so why aren't you thanking him?"

"He saved my sister, so why should I thank him?"

Shangguan Bing 'er looked at her father in confusion, "Furthermore, my sister likes him, so it is natural for him to save her."

Shangguan Bing 'er's logic made people speechless, but it seemed to make sense.

He was obviously a thick-skinned person, and his words made people speechless. The latter looked at Zi Chen seriously and said, "Zi Chen, do you think I'm right?"

He called Zi Chen as soon as he opened his mouth. Am I familiar with you? Zi Chen was so embarrassed that he was speechless.

"Eh, what a cute little guy."

However, the other party's thoughts quickly changed when he saw the demonic ape. His eyes lit up, and he rushed toward Zi Chen.

The demonic ape sensed that something was wrong. Its figure flashed and disappeared, and in the next moment, it was in Yue Xianzi's arms.

The demonic ape's speed, which was close to teleportation, shocked the group of Nascent Core old monsters. They looked at the demonic ape in a daze, and could not help but look at this fist-sized little guy.

"Eh, why is it gone?"

Shangguan Bing 'er looked around and saw the little guy in Yue Xianzi's arms. "So it's here."

She ignored everyone's shocked expressions and did not investigate the demonic ape's speed. She ran toward the demonic ape again.

The demonic ape flashed again, and its speed was comparable to teleportation. Even the group of Nascent Core old monsters could not compare.

They had seen the little guy before, and it was only the size of a fist, so they did not pay much attention to it. However, the speed it displayed now was really frightening.

This repeated several times, but Shangguan Bing 'er still could not catch up. She said angrily, "Zi Chen, is this your pet? Give me a price and sell it to me."

"Sorry, it's not a pet. It's my friend." Zi Chen smiled faintly and refused.

"You …" Shangguan Bing 'er was angry, but she could not do anything to her sister's sweetheart. She could only rush toward the little guy. She bared her fangs and brandished her claws, revealing a fierce look. "Little thing, if you don't come here obediently, I'll make you pay when I catch you."

The little guy was frightened and waved its claws at her. The next moment, Shangguan Bing 'er was surrounded by a black light, and her body was imprisoned.

Everyone's expression changed when they saw this. Shangguan Feixiong looked at the demonic ape, and his pupils shrank.

The black light imprisoned Shangguan Bing Xi. Shangguan Bing Xi's face was filled with surprise. His eyes shone as if he had discovered something rare. He didn't notice that the surrounding Primary Core old monsters were actually so careless.

The farce finally ended with Zi Chen's compromise. Shangguan Bing 'er held the demonic ape in her arms and kept squeezing it, causing the little guy's fist-sized body to change shape. The latter let out a devilish smile.

"Are you scared? Are you scared?"

Shangguan Bing 'er showed her canine teeth and said fiercely, "If you are, then teach me that move just now."

She did not wait for the demonic ape to answer and continued squeezing it, making it squeak.

During this time, Shangguan Feixiong chatted with the two and invited them to go back to the Shangguan family with him. Not only did they protect Yue 'er, but they were also extraordinary. They were worthy of Shangguan Feixiong's invitation. Moreover, they had a strange and extraordinary little ape.

Zi Chen and the monk hesitated and did not answer immediately. It was good to enter the Shangguan family, but there were many rules. Even brothers in the family killed each other, let alone outsiders like them.

Of course, the two did not answer immediately. They were still thinking about the Wild Wolf Bandits' Yuan liquid, which could help Zi Chen break through again.

The news about the little princess's rescue spread quickly. Some people heard the news and rushed over. As the little princess's pursuer, Zheng Feng was naturally a proactive person.

"Oh, it's you. You're still alive." Seeing Zi Chen and the monk again, Zheng Feng was very surprised.

"What do you mean?" Zi Chen asked with a darkened face.

"There were so many experts chasing after you, but you're still alive. Didn't they say that barbarians are weak? I don't know what kind of luck you have to survive until now." Zheng Feng said without any trace of politeness.

"Zheng Feng, watch your tone. Zi Chen is my savior." Yue 'er said with dissatisfaction.

"Yue 'er, don't get it wrong. He's the one who harmed you. It's his fault that you were chased after."
