Chapter 4989

Zi Chen didn't take too long to consider. He agreed to the settlement and stated his conditions.

The City Lord's meaning was clear. As an existence with two strands of power, Zi Chen knew that he couldn't defeat the other party. He could only agree to the settlement.

Obviously, the City Lord didn't want those people to die.

The City Lord was surprised. He thought that Zi Chen wouldn't agree. He didn't expect him to agree so quickly.

Looking at the silent City Lord, Zi Chen said, "This is my bottom line!"

The City Lord nodded, indicating that he understood. Although he didn't know how Zi Chen survived, it wasn't easy. He must have consumed a lot of extreme energy.

Although 85 strands of power was a lot, compared to the lives of those people, it wasn't much.

The City Lord left. Zi Chen was still standing outside. Before the power was delivered, he still wanted to kill.

In fact, he still hoped that those people wouldn't agree. However, he knew that the possibility was very small.

After the City Lord left, Zi Chen pondered over the words of the City Lord.

Could it be that the people who used to live here were really killed by the Law Breaking Beast?

But if that was the case, why was there a rule that helped him become a corpse fisherman when he was outside?

Obviously, it was to let him live and the people here live.

What was the meaning of their appearance here?

Could it be an endless cycle and repetition?

When the predecessors died, the descendants came in. When the number of people increased, the Law Breaking Beast would come to kill them. Was it an endless cycle?

The City Lord brought the message. As expected, those people jumped. 85 strands of power. That was five strands of power per person. It was equivalent to killing more than half of the Law Breaking Beast.

"Zi Chen didn't agree willingly. If you don't want to, then forget it," the City Lord said indifferently and turned to leave.

"Yes, of course!"

Tommy immediately said. Compared to his life, a mere five strands of energy was nothing.

Tommy immediately took out five strands of power to show his position. Seeing this, the others didn't insist.

Originally, some people wanted the City Lord to bargain, but now they gave up.

This time, the City Lord didn't appear. It was the old man who took out 85 strands of power.

"Little brother, put it away."

"Thank you."

Zi Chen put away the Extreme Energy, then picked up the staff and the wooden saber beside him and walked back to his residence.

Along the way, many people were pointing and whispering. They all saw Zi Chen take the power from the old man's hand.

Today's thirty rays, in addition to yesterday's nine, made a total of thirty-nine rays, and this did not include Zi Chen's original Extreme Energy.

With so much power in his body, he was undoubtedly an extremely wealthy existence.

Many people looked at Zi Chen with envy in their eyes. Of course, there were also other expressions among them.

Zi Chen didn't greet anyone. After returning to his room, he collapsed onto his wooden bed.

Although he was full of energy, he was mentally exhausted.

While he was sleeping, Tommy and the others walked out. They first told everyone what had happened. Of course, the 85 strands of Extreme Energy were the main focus.

"Based on my estimations, Zi Chen has at least 05 strands of power," Tommy said confidently to the two of them.

After the two left, they chatted with others and added a little more to this number.

When the sky turned dark, everyone believed that Zi Chen had at least 655 strands of Extreme Energy on him.

This number was enough to make people go crazy.

When Zi Chen woke up, the sky was already dark, and he had fully recovered from the exhaustion he had expended.

After recovering, he didn't need power anymore.

Zi Chen wanted to break through. With two strands of power revolving around his body, his battle strength was obviously stronger than one strand.

Looking outside the window, the sky was dark. Zi Chen gave up on the idea of going to the City Lord.

In the dark night, he took out a strand of power to refine. The power was being consumed, but there were no changes in his body.

In one night, Zi Chen consumed a strand of power. Other than his spirit still high, he didn't gain anything else.

When the sky turned bright, Zi Chen left his room and went to find the City Lord.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he noticed several people standing in the distance, looking in his direction.

Zi Chen didn't care and went to the City Lord's mansion.

After seeing the City Lord, Zi Chen directly told him his purpose for coming.

The City Lord smiled bitterly. "Actually, I don't know how to break through either."

Zi Chen looked at him in confusion.

"I broke through by accident. After that, I didn't make any progress," the City Lord said helplessly. It didn't seem like he was lying.

"Then what about the art of breaking?" Zi Chen asked. "How did you learn it, City Lord?"

The City Lord said, "After having two strands of Extreme Energy, you can learn a kind of art of breaking."

Zi Chen didn't get the answer he wanted, but it was this uncertainty that caused the two strands of power to be so rare. He had to figure it out himself.

Now, he had enough Extreme Energy in his body. He could try to refine as much as possible.

According to his previous cultivation experience, as long as there was enough energy in his body, his realm would increase.

Zi Chen stayed in his room and didn't go out. Whether it was day or night, he was refining the Extreme Energy.

The people outside occasionally looked at Zi Chen's door anxiously.

Staying in his room like this will consume a lot of energy. Does he have to wait until he runs out of energy before coming out?

On the fourth day, someone knocked on his door and invited Zi Chen to go out hunting.

Zi Chen refused.

After refining the energy for a few days, his body didn't change at all. His battle prowess was still the same as before. However, he used up about 65 strands of Extreme Energy, which was equivalent to losing a Law Breaking Beast.

"Could it be that I'm on the wrong path?"

Zi Chen muttered in his mind.

On the fifth day, he decided to go outside. Perhaps he would be able to break through if he encountered some kind of danger.

Zi Chen opened the door and saw quite a few people around. As he came out, everyone's gazes shifted away.

Zi Chen glanced at them but didn't care. He took the wooden club and blade and left the city.

"Should we remind him?"

The old man and the City Lord stared at Zi Chen's back as he left.

The City Lord shook his head: "If he dares to go out alone, he's naturally confident. We don't need to do anything unnecessary."

Not long after Zi Chen left, two more groups left.

One of them was Tommy's group.

Zi Chen walked forward. Whenever he found a tree branch, he would deliberately pick it up.

There were no Law Breaking Beasts here during the day, so he didn't know where they were hiding. Only at night would these Law Breaking Beasts come out.

Because of that, all the hunting groups had to spend the night outside.

As for whether they would encounter a single Law Breaking Beast or a group, that depended on luck.
